Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 212 The Nervous Langzhi

"Boom—" The baseball broke through the curtain of fine raindrops and came to home plate with the sound of howling wind.

Although the first hitter was instructed to watch a few more pitches and ignore them if the pitch was too high, it was hard not to feel pressured after seeing such pitches.

'This is the real deal, a 150-kilometer pitch thrown by a human being! '

In the rain, the water-stained catcher's mitt catches the ball, and the sound is even louder.

"nice shot!"

"The batter is out!"

In this way, the first hitter is quickly and easily out of the game.

"One out!"

Langzhi began to speak out actively.

The bat just now was a left hitter, so as the direction of third base where the ball is most likely to hit, he has been tense all the time, staring at the batter's bat.

At this moment, the stadium under his feet is still in the first stage of rain, and the sand that has absorbed water will become more solid at this time.

But if the rain continues, it will soon enter the second stage. After absorbing too much water, the sand becomes soft and the foot feels different from usual.

"Bump—" Li Chuan's second bat hit two out-of-bounds consecutively after the full number of balls. He looked extremely embarrassed, and just hit a out-of-bounds, which was already his limit.

Lang Zhi stepped forward twice. If he was forced into this situation, maybe the hitter would choose to take a risky bunt.

Yuxing saw the third baseman take a few steps forward from the corner of his eye, and he touched Langzhi's fist in his heart. It just so happened that he thought so too.

So the next ball is a straight ball with a low outside corner.

"Bump—" Sure enough, as soon as the ball was thrown, the second stick crossed the bat, resisting the force on the ball, and barely pointed to the front of the mound.

"I'll do it!" Miyuki lifted his mask, picked up the ball and passed it to first base behind the batter running wildly.

Seeing that it was too late, Tachikawa's first base instructor could only send out a signal, "Pull the base!"

"Snap", the ball entered the glove of the front garden.

"out!"

There was no smoke and dust at the first base, only the gradually muddy sand, which dyed all the clothes in front of the second bat black.

"Two outs!"

The partners in Uchino gestured for two outs, Miyuki picked up the mask from the ground, before putting it on, smiled and pointed to Lang Chi who had returned to its original position.

'It's worthy of being in the same dormitory with me. '

Lang Zhi wanted to forget all the time, but the fact of "the first official competition after joining the First Army" made his fingers tremble slightly. When he thought about it anytime during the defense, the excitement in his body spread from his abdomen to the chest.

"Third base!"

Suddenly, Miyuki shouted, and everyone in Uchino turned their eyes to this side, and saw a figure thrown on the ground.

The first ball in the first big game rushed to the direction of third base, and it didn't leak to Lang Zhi's back.

He quickly got up on the ground and, as usual, passed to first base.

"out!"

"Three outs! Switch sides!"

"Yo blind!" The Qingdao players on the field ran away immediately.

Just when Cang Mo got closer, he clearly heard the sound of a body hitting the ground.

"Hey, are you alright?"

In order to stop this powerful ball, Langzhi directly threw his body to the ground. After first confirming that the glove received the ball, he only had a few milliseconds to prepare for the touchdown.

Of course, it must be too late, so Langzhi fell hard.

"It's okay." The two touched their shoulders and returned to the bench.

Gao Zhiye waited at the entrance, and as soon as Lang Zhi came in, he took off his hat and covered it with a towel.

"Don't try too hard."

Rong Chun held a row of water glasses in his arms, "Sa, come and drink water!"

"Huh—" Lang Zhi's heart was beating loudly, and the first round was passed smoothly.

Then it was Qing Dao's batting round, and this time he had a smooth hit, and he was ranked seven.

The reason why Lang Zhi, who became a monk halfway, was able to be selected as the first-choice third baseman was that his hitting ability, which was slightly better than Hikasa, helped the most.

Attacking Aomichi, who couldn't be connected in series, made Director Kataoka prefer to bear some defensive instability in order to strive for that little improvement in attack.

Of course, Lang Zhi understands this, so he attaches great importance to the defense in the first game. If this game can prove his defensive ability on the third base and his ability to cooperate with everyone in the infield, then the position of the third baseman is the most important. It counts as sitting firmly.

Hikasa, Kanamaru and others are all aiming at this position to compete. Lang Chi, who switched from the shortstop position to the third baseman, found that the competition has not weakened at all.

"What are you thinking about? Your face is so solemn." Gao Zhiye broke up Lang Zhi's thoughts with a knife in his hand, "Don't you look up, you are going to fight in a while."

Now on Tachikawa's pitcher's mound, Nozawa is not No. 11, but No. [-].

"It's been two outs in such a short period of time. This No. 11 may be Eijun's bad pitching."

At the mouth of the conversation, the three bats made a decisive hit, but he missed the center of the ball and was out on the first base.

"That pitcher has been throwing two seams." Xiao Minao returned to the rest area, and this was the first sentence.

This is a pitcher who takes the exact opposite route to Gao Zhiye. Compared with making the straight ball straighter, this No. 11 makes the straight ball less straight. The ball speed in the second half of 130 sounds like a replica of Eijun's when he first entered school, but Tachikawa's No. 11 is obviously able to control his own tail power.

"This game may be as long and dull as this rain." Immediately, this thought flashed in Takano's heart. Of course, the probability of winning Aodo will be higher, but I don't know how much Aodo will be exposed in this game. Question, the next second game is Koshien in East Tokyo.

The temperature around him disappeared again, and Gao Zhiye's eyes followed the figure running on the field, "Unknowingly, this person has also grown up."If I told everyone now that Lang Zhi was once very shaken about playing baseball, they probably wouldn't believe it. '

As a player who was destined not to play today, Gao Zhiye watched the game from the perspective of a bystander from the bench.

Such a perspective is really rare. Since he started playing baseball, he has lived a smooth life all the way.After entering Qingdao, because of the joint training one month in advance, he gained a lot of opportunities compared with others, and then shortly after entering the school, he emerged from the rookie red and white competition and entered the joint training of the first army.

So he seldom has this kind of onlooker's perspective of the bench players. Then he looked at the players on the field, "They are all very nervous, especially Lang Zhi, won't the muscles be stiff like this?" '

Before he finished speaking, a ball passed in front of Lang Zhi, and he threw himself on the ground, but the ball brushed past his head.

"Yaha!" Fortunately, the position was filled, and the number of eliminations was firmly in his hands.

"Hey, you're so tense that you're freezing. Relax, relax."

"Huh—" Lang Zhi's body was already in a mess, he took two deep breaths, and the second hitter had already stood in the strike zone.

But at the moment the most vigilant on the court is Miyuki, with his fingers hanging down, "I don't hit high balls and bad balls all the way, and even let go of some ambiguous low balls, but once they enter the strike zone, they will shoot decisively. The style of this team is really subdued. '

　The result of not having an outline this week is that I can’t control the number of chapters. There are too many daily chapters, and the rhythm is a bit slow

　　I still have to sort out the details for next week on weekends
