Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 225 What is the trump card?
The Qingdao players did not take the bus to leave, they simply rested in a secluded place outside the stadium, and then returned to the auditorium again.

"It's No. 11 pitching." Cheng Gongming guarded the left field, thinking about it, the next game is against Qingdao.

There was a lot of buzz about the light-haired ace in left field.

However, Takano and Langzhi looked at the home plate, the "No. 2" who was mostly blocked, 'Hayakawa. .I didn't expect that there would be a day of head-on conflict. '

Sitting next to Langzhi, Xiaochun was sensitive to the weird atmosphere among the three first-year pitchers.

This atmosphere was provoked by Gao Zhiye, and Rong Chun excitedly wanted Gao Zhiye to praise his performance today, but the other party seemed to have something on his mind, so he dealt with it coldly.

As for Jiang Gu, the rest time was too long and he was a little sleepy, so he missed the whole thing.

The three pitchers sat next to each other as usual, but none of them spoke.

'without. .It doesn't matter, my brother is just in a bad mood. He is clearly the trump card, but he has fewer rounds than me. Rong Chun stared straight ahead, but what he was thinking about was the person sitting next to him.

'Eh?wrong!Don't I want to be an ace too? 'So in this matter, do you want to forgive my brother?Eijun fell into an endless loop.

"Huh—" Jiang Gu, who was sitting on the side, nodded abruptly, and was woken up by Cang Chi's hand knife.

As for Gao Zhiye at the other end, although he was also looking at the field, like Eijun, he seemed to be thinking about other things.

"Three outs! Switch sides!"

The game on the court continued, and Daoshi quickly scored three outs.

"Hmm.. This pitcher named Hirano is unexpectedly reliable." Miyuki murmured, a reliable backup pitcher can cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for Seidou, just as he started his thinking, he was elbowed by someone next to him Hit the ribs.

"It hurts, why?"

Cang Mo pointed to the three quiet people in front with his chin, and raised his eyebrows.

Miyuki shrugged and waved his hands.

"Tsk", Cang Chi frowned, as if accusing.

"Hey——" Miyuki finally sighed, nodded heavily, and mouthed 'back to school', and finally regained the right to watch the game quietly.

To be honest, Miyuki doesn't think this situation is a bad thing. In the pitching field, it is normal for players to compete with each other.On the contrary, the atmosphere before them was too peaceful.

'Well, after being honed in Jiashien, Fuguya finally has the strength to challenge him, so of course he will not be satisfied with the status quo. '

Gao Zhiye was a little nervous today, and he probably felt the strong catch-up progress of the later people.Thinking about it carefully, Miyuki has almost known each other since he first learned baseball from Takano.

Along the way, this pitcher is in the process of quickly climbing the hill and passing others quickly.

And the bottleneck period after reaching a certain height, you need to watch other beginners catch up quickly, but you can only move forward slowly, this period is the biggest test.

'It is also the responsibility of the ace to accept the challenge of latecomers. 'If Takano can understand this, he can be regarded as Seidou's real trump card.

"What are you laughing at!" Kuramochi's strange catcher suddenly laughed.

"Haha, it's nothing, I just feel very happy to see the wicked being punished by God."

"Means unknown.."

. . .

Two and a half hours later, Daoshi's game ended.

Everyone in Qingdao walked down from the stands, "The opponent in three days' time is determined, and it will be Daoshi."

Compared with summer, the rice harvest this autumn has not weakened significantly.

After all, they retained a lot of their core members, such as Nariya Naruto, Karl Ross, Shirakawa, Yamaoka, etc. There are many old faces from Xia Tian.

"What method will Supervisor Kataoka use to deal with Inomi? Or is it a wheel war?" On the way back to school, Takano was thinking about this question.

Of course, he can't control the thoughts of others. The most important thing is the pitching performance, and there are three days before the game.

'It is necessary to return to the state as soon as possible during these three days. '

. . .

At ten o'clock that night, Gao Zhiye was practicing against the net. He recalled the strong hits he encountered in Koshien and the distribution of the ball at that time.

"Crack——" a straight ball went into the right hitter's outer corner.

Then there is an inner corner high that goes straight to the chest. This is how that guy Miyuki distributes the ball.

"Cough cough", someone deliberately coughed twice at the door, Takano recognized that the voice was Miyuki, so he didn't turn his head and continued to throw the ball.

"Pa——" It was another straight ball with a low outer corner, followed by a changeup.

"Not bad."

Hearing this tone, Gao Zhiye had the urge to join in with others, but he ignored it and just said "hmm".

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to get an answer, and said a long series of words, "'The team is not your team', isn't that what you said to Jiang Gu? It turned out that the words were beautiful, but the pitcher mound still didn't want to Give it to someone else."

The pitcher in front stopped throwing the ball, turned around and asked in distaste: "Senior Miyuki, it's so late, if you really can't find anything to do, you can go to bed directly." Why are you here so provocative and angry.

"Didn't you teach small classes for people in Room 4 before?"

"Oh, that's because I want to train two relief pitchers earlier." Gao Zhiye didn't hide it, and directly said his thoughts at the time.

"Wow——so frank, what are you worrying about now, haven't you cultivated it?" Yuxing's tone obviously gloated.

Gao Zhiye is not as silly and sweet as Rongchun. He helps others without affecting his own interests.

"I always feel that there are a lot of things recently, and the time is very short, so I have no space to think about my real thoughts. So if Miyuki-senpai wants my thoughts, the answer is no, and I don't know."

"Haha, let me ask directly. Are you nervous to play today?"

"..."

"I feel it from your pitching, what's wrong, don't you have confidence in yourself? This is really rare."

Miyuki's successive interruptions made the pitcher unable to throw the ball with peace of mind, so he simply stopped and used this time to summarize his feelings.

"Ace... What exactly is it? Is it stable pitching? The trust of teammates and supervisors? In my feelings, it seems that I have been pushed up. Coach Ninomiya said, don't be obsessed with the title of ace, I have always abided by it. , but the competitive spirit in my heart keeps me going forward until there is no one in front of me. Until I have become an ace and got that back number, do you understand? It is already my thing, no matter what I think before , but it has become my thing, so the loss cannot be easily tolerated.”

"Then you should stay in this position for a while, and experience your own feelings." Maybe it just needs a victory to make this pitcher completely abandon what he was struggling with today, but the upcoming game The game is not so easy.
