Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 23 Pre-match preparation
"But if you don't lift your feet, the force brought by the twist will be smaller." Gao Zhiye asked cautiously.

"Now you still hit the ball more by your intuition. It's better to let the ball fly closer and make the ball path more accurate. Depending on your physical fitness, you should be able to do it."

"Okay——" Gao Zhiye still hesitated. Although he has not been in the baseball world for a long time, the striking movements he learned and saw are to lift his feet to the inside first, and then step forward, using the twist of the hip joint Move, drive the whole body strength to strike.

Takano waved a few times according to Kinoshita's demonstration, but he couldn't find the feeling.

"Even if you don't lift your left foot, the left hip is still adducted before the blow, which can give you more reaction time. Although it is not obvious in junior high school, when you grow up to be over 190 in adulthood, your physical fitness will be very amazing. This difficulty is nothing to you."

Because Gao Zhiye's physical potential is very strong, similar to the big white men Kinoshita Liu saw in the United States, this striking posture is more suitable for Gao Zhiye, so he was the first to find Gao Zhiye.

"If you can't find the feeling, start from the T block. You have just started playing baseball, and the batting posture is still easy to adjust." It is said that the new official has three fires. Now that they have returned, they have to come up with something. For my own stuff, at this stage other players have been practicing strikes with coach Maeda for a long time, and going to guide them by themselves may ruin their sense of strikes.

Takano was suspicious, but on the surface he responded. Shibasaki was very diligent by the side, and in a daze, he helped Takano get the T seat. During the training time in the afternoon, Kinoshita Liu refused to go to the training of the First Army. At a glance, they were all mixed up in the Second Army.

The teenagers who were intimidated by Kinoshita Liu's title of "Little League Coach" also started to move around. Akira Hayakawa was pushed out and was the first to ask for guidance from the new batting coach.

"Coach Kinoshita, I'm not very good at outside corner kicks, can you help guide me?"

"Of course, Hayakawa Aki-kun, right? I've seen your strike video. Your swing time is a bit early, so it's easy to form a high fly."

"Hey, Coach Kinoshita knows my name."

"Of course, I know everyone here." So today, the players didn't introduce themselves at all, and they went straight to the training.

Hayakawa had a little more respect for this coach in his heart. He probably spent a lot of time memorizing the roster of the entire team and the comparison faces, so he listened very carefully to Kinoshita Liu's teachings.

"Besides, the swing speed is a bit slow. The peak power of each part of the body should be carried out sequentially, so that the power can be transmitted in a chain without wasting energy. Strength does not necessarily represent speed. Only when the force is reasonable can speed be brought. It’s basically the same situation as a pitcher.” At this moment, Kinoshita Liu, with dyed black hair and black-rimmed glasses, made people feel unexpectedly reliable.

"So, in my opinion, you need to increase the ability to adapt to different rhythms of the ball. The outer corner kick is far away from the body, and the inner corner kick is the opposite. If you use the same body force state, go to the outer corner kick and force it with the bat. During the ball, there will be energy loss, so you must be able to adjust your body after realizing that it is an outside corner kick, you can understand what I mean." He seemed a little uncomfortable with the weight on the bridge of the nose, He raised his glasses.

"That's the same starting speed. After distinguishing different ball types, switch your own gear?"

"That's what it means, you need to continue to strengthen your ability to control your body." He pointed to Gao Zhiye again, "You can also start from the T-seat, first distinguish the two states very clearly, and then add the throwing ball Hitting the net and finally the pitcher's inside and outside corner practice."

"Okay, I will try hard." Although everyone entrusted him with the responsibility of asking gossip, Hayakawa Qiu is a veteran of inquiring about news, knowing that he should not be abrupt at this time, so he stepped aside first and began to think about his blow.

With the beginning of Hayakawa Akira, the people behind went much smoother. Takano was still practicing the T-seat while Shibazaki was helping him to check if his posture was deformed.

"Thank you, Shibazaki-kun. It's just my illusion. Why do I feel that you care more about my blow than I do?"

"It's hard for a pitcher to have no fire support on the field, so if the pitcher himself is a strong hitter, he will have stronger control over the pitch." Shibazaki still had that gentle tone.

"Control of the pitch?"

"Yes, on the defensive end, the pitcher is the center. On the offensive end, if the pitcher can also hit the center bat, isn't it at one level, completely leading the direction of the game?" The unexpected domineering side leaked.

"Shibazaki-kun, do you want to be such a pitcher?"

"No, at this stage, I already have enough homework as a pitcher. I think you can become such a person, so I look forward to you~"

Just like the wishes that parents cannot fulfill, they will be pinned on their children. Everyone will more or less project their wishes to the surroundings. Shibazaki, who is still struggling with his digestive system, is very clear about his future development path. Also because he knows his own path very well, when he watched Gao Zhiye develop in that direction, he didn't feel jealous, only a kind of interest similar to nurturing.

"Although I don't quite understand, thank you for your expectation?" Takano's puzzled expression amused Shibazaki.

The two fought alternately until today's training ended.

In the conference room, as usual, it was today’s publicity. Coach Nigong took a stack of materials and distributed them to everyone, but none of the players looked down and looked straight ahead: “This is the Seongnam Young League two days later. All the information, they should be the strongest team we have encountered since the Kanto Conference, so everyone, be sure to record their team information clearly."

"Hi--"

Then it was still the infield coach Yoshida who cut out several games of the Chengnan Little League in the Kanto Conference.

"The first hitter, Carl Ross, is characterized by a very fast base running speed. He is the trailblazer of the Southside Little League." He clicked on the video, including an infield grounding by Carl Ross, stealing second base at first base, second base Home run video.

After pausing the video, he asked everyone to open the first page of information in their hands, "He is of mixed race, so his wingspan is longer than that of Asians, which is very beneficial for him to play outside corner kicks. I learned from the official recorder. The data obtained shows that when other players hit outside corner kicks, the probability of not hitting well is about 5% higher than that of Karl Ross, but it may be due to lack of strength. So right field is a little bit forward."

The right fielders responded in unison, and the entire Kinoshita Little League will make targeted defenses in accordance with the catch and the weaknesses of the hitters. This requires all players to understand the truth in advance.

"But don't make it too obvious, just take two steps forward."

"And then the second shot..."

When Coach Yoshida finished talking about the main selection of the entire Seongnam Little League team, it took about an hour. Finally, Coach Ninomiya concluded: "We just finished a game yesterday, and there will be another game two days later, the Kanto Conference The rhythm of the competition will speed up as the number of participating teams shrinks, and the ones left behind will be tough, and the situation of easy victory in the first two games will not happen, you must keep this in mind!"

"Hi--"

Even with all the members of the Second Army, this time they also participated in the actual combat of the game. According to the order of the first bat running at high speed, the second bat with high hitting rate, the third bat with high hitting skills, and the fourth bat with strength, the first army was given a low score. Matching version of the Seongnam Little League experience.

Among them, the four sticks of the Second Army are Gao Zhiye. At this time, his weight has just exceeded 70KG, but his control over his body strength is already very strong. Because he is not used to the new striking posture, he has returned to the previous striking method, even This is the case, and it also put a lot of pressure on Senior Nozawa of the First Army.

'Just now this position has shown him a straight ball, now let's have a very beautiful slider, he may have difficulty responding to play well. Captain Yitang left his gloves in the outer corner and made a signal.

Nozawa glanced at the hitter at first base to relax himself, and Takano's eyes on the other side were too sharp, like a beast that feeds on baseballs.

"Huh—" Adrenaline made him extremely excited, and a beautiful slider passed in front of Gao Zhiye.

"See you~" Takano hit first and second bases and landed in front of right field.

"You kid, don't greet seniors in this way!" Senior Nozawa lost his temper on the mound, but he didn't look very angry. This is also the way Takano slowly explored to communicate with different people , Senior Nozawa is one of those people who can care less about the relationship between seniors and seniors.

Because it was a practice match, the second army only needed to let the first army adapt to the characteristics of the opponent, so after a 10-minute break in the middle, the second army went directly to the field to hit. In this way, the two pitchers of the first army took turns four times before the training ended. And tomorrow is the quarterfinals.

After the quarter-finals, the Kanto Conference will be held in the official stadium and tickets will be sold.

"Huh? There was no Miyuki in the 4-to-[-] game?" Takano looked through the teams in the game, but he didn't find Miyuki's team.

"Well, they were eliminated on the court. They played 4 games, and the Marugame Little League team on the opposite side played one less game, so they lost to them again."

"again?"

"Before the Marugame Junior League had a catcher who was called the 'No. [-] iron catcher'. Miyuki was always very dissatisfied with him. The main reason was that he never won from him. I didn't expect him to win even if the opponent left. No, he must be very depressed." Asking Hayakawa Qiu was indeed asking the right person.

"Let me just say, I was yelling all day long to take me to the sports store, why suddenly there is no sound." It has been three or four days since he came to harass him, and Gao Zhiye felt a little pitiful while he was thankful. Miyuki.

"Miyuki doesn't have a good relationship with the pitchers, right?" Takano edited the text message, anyway, watching the game is idle, so it's good to stimulate Miyuki.

Akira Hayakawa looked at Takano who was very interested in taking pictures of Miyuki's tee, "Why do I feel that Taka-kun is so different from when he first joined the team? It's an illusion. I feel that he is getting more and more childish."
