Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 28 The Aces Pitcher's Experience

"Ahem——" the former ace classmate Nozawa cleared his throat, and it was rare for Gao Zhiye to take him seriously, and the two of them were huddled in a corner furtively.

"First one, let me ask you, what should you be thinking when you're on the mound?"

Takano thought about standing on the mound a few times before, because it was just practice in the team and there was no sense of tension, so he almost forgot: "Probably the pitch that the hitter is good at."

"Wrong!" Nozawa knocked on the junior's head bitterly, "Don't think about anything! The ball the hitter is good at? That's what the catcher should consider. Let the catchers closest to the hitter think about it Question!"

Before Gao Zhiye was deafened, Nozawa put away his voice and raised a finger: "So, this is the first thing, standing on the mound, just don't think about anything!"

"Senior Nozawa... Didn't you say that you want to teach me the experience of the trump card?"

"No, no, no," Nozawa interrupted, "Because he is an ace pitcher, he needs to pitch normally. When he pitches, he pitches, and when he hits, he strikes. This is the normal heart of an ace."

"Okay..." It sounds a little plausible, so let's just listen to him.

"Next, the second one, when you shot well and got kicked out, what should you think?" Senior Nozawa raised his second finger and looked at Gao Zhiye with piercing eyes.

"Ask me what I'm thinking... Let's vote better next time."

"No, no, no," Nozawa yelled, "It's wrong again!"

"Where is wrong?"

Nozawa looked around and lowered his voice: "Combined with the previous point, it is the catcher's responsibility to analyze the hitter. We also followed the catcher's instructions and threw to the designated position well. Then we were hit, and our responsibility was ruled out. The person responsible is..."

He shook his fingers emphatically: "It's the catcher! It's all his fault!"

"That... Nozawa-senpai, do you dare to say that in front of Itou-senpai?"

"That's not important. What's important is that no matter how well you cast, if you get kicked out, don't take it to heart. You know, this is the normal heart of a trump card!"

In the end, he forcibly turned back and sublimated a bit, Gao Zhiye was speechless.

"Third, when you're doing really well, but a teammate makes a mistake and the runner goes to first base, what should you think?"

Gao Zhiye was taken aback when he heard the words, he thought that the third item was still senior Nozawa's joke, but he didn't expect it to be a serious topic, after thinking for two seconds, he said decisively: "You can't blame your teammates, everyone will make mistakes, then everyone Just work together to prevent each other from scoring.”

"That's right, no matter what mistakes your teammates make, don't take it to heart. This is the normal heart of Ace." Senior Nozawa raised his fourth finger again: "Then fourth, we always assumed that your state is very good. Well, what if you're out of form and the ball is very weak."

"Then you have to ask me why my condition is not good. Is it the weather of the day? Or is my body not warmed up? Or is it the fatigue of continuous shooting? Poor condition that can be avoided should be avoided."

"Haha," Senior Nozawa ruffled Gao Zhiye's hair, "Boy, don't be so serious, the status is very mysterious, there are many times even if the situation is exactly the same, the status will be good and bad, but just like you That is to say, those avoidable causes of poor form should be avoided as much as possible, and if it cannot be avoided, it is necessary to adjust as much as possible when dealing with the first three hitters, this is the adjustment ability of the trump card."

Gao Zhiye nodded obediently, he now believes that Senior Nozawa has really summed up something.

"Of course, if you can't make adjustments, the coach will definitely make a substitution. If this is the case, what should you think?"

"Uh... normal?"

Nozawa slapped Takano on the shoulder suddenly: "Correct solution! Usually the ace is thrown to the left field, and then the ace will be played according to the situation. If the state is not good, even the ace will be replaced for the team's victory. , you can’t play your temper, and Ace is not the sponsor of the mound, so you can’t always occupy the mound.”

"Hi—Senior Nozawa, is there any more?" Takano saw other seniors helping to clean up the court from the corner of his eyes.

"Fifth, what is the difference between an ace pitcher and other pitchers?"

Senior Nozawa opened his palm, brought it close to Takano, and then shrunk into a fist.

"It's this, a sense of solidity, stability, strength, or like a rope tightly tied to a pocket."

"The feeling of tying your pockets so that the score doesn't slip?"

"Yes, that's how it feels!" Senior Nozawa was getting better and better during the singing and harmony with Takano, and was so moved that he couldn't help himself, "It's the feeling that if you lose points, there is nothing you can do."

"Yeah——" Gao Zhiye nodded obediently, and saw someone walking behind Senior Nozawa, who should have just heard Nozawa's last words, and the figure paused before approaching: "Nozawa, you are giving the younger generation What strange thing to teach, I have never felt this kind of thing in you."

"Huh? Ah——Itang...why are you here?" The furry-haired Senior Nozawa obeyed instantly.

"Hey—look at the playground, what are everyone doing, and what are you doing? It's the last day at the club, and you haven't come to help tidy up." Yi Tang seemed to shake his head helplessly.

Nozawa-senpai didn't care about the junior who was whispering just now, he said hello, and immediately rushed to tidy up the venue, leaving behind Itou-senpai and Takano-no looking at each other.

Because Ido-senpai is the captain, he is very busy, leading the team and organizing the pitching line. He really rarely communicates with Takano. Usually, Nozawa-senpai is in the middle as a lubricant. At this time, there are only two of them left, which is really a bit I don't know where to start.

"Haha, speaking of it, since that test of your accuracy, I have rarely squatted for you." Yitang smiled and spoke first.

"Ah, we'll start preparing for the battle after that, the seniors are already very busy."

"However, I am very impressed with your pitching. I will be free for a long time in the future. If you need it, you can let me show you the pitching."

"Ah, thank you senior first. By the way, have you confirmed your senior's high school?" Takano was planning to inquire with Hayakawa, and now that the seniors are all back, let's ask face to face.

"Oh! Nozawa and I want to play baseball together in the future. We have been invited by a private high school that has been established for a few years. It is Tachikawa Private High School in Tachikawa City."

"Oh." Because Takano, who didn't know much about Japanese high schools, didn't have a big reaction, he just remembered it in his heart, but his reaction was misunderstood by Senior Itou, because he immediately explained it.

"Although Tachikawa Private High School is a newly established high school, the coach of their baseball department hired the retired former professional baseball player Okawazou. You may not know it very well. This person is a professional baseball player that Nozawa liked very much when he was a child."

"Ah, so Nozawa-senpai wants to practice baseball with a respected player?"

"Yes, although we received invitations from other high schools, we decided to go to Lichuan Private School after going to see the venue."

"That's good too."

"Yeah, anyway, there are very few people who can really enter professional baseball. It's better to choose to make yourself happy when playing baseball." Senior Yi Tang said this as if he was listening to Gao Zhiye, and like He was convincing himself that there is no one in his teens who is not high-spirited. No matter what he says in front of others, when he thinks about it, he always has the idea that maybe he is the one who is suitable for professional baseball.

"But, this is Senior Nozawa's idea of ​​going to Tachikawa private school, isn't it? Captain Ido?" Gao Zhiye thought for a while, looked at Nozawa who was working hard on the court, and still said it out. He has already left the team, even if he is suspected of sowing discord, he is not afraid of anything.

Senior Yitang was stunned for a moment, and then said after a long time: "Play baseball well with Nozawa, probably this is what I think." At the end, Yitang's hesitant tone obviously no longer hesitated, he was saying this sentence Time, also made up his mind.

"What the future will look like depends on the future self to create." In the end, Senior Yitang was excited again, looking at Gao Zhiye who was a little surprised, he smiled shyly.

"Well, then senior, if I continue to play baseball in high school, then see you on the field."

"Ok."

After packing up on this day, the seniors from the third year of junior high school officially left, and the new first army started the devil’s run-in training. The bullpen training time for the pitchers was greatly shortened. From Monday to Wednesday, they basically practiced the fielding of pitchers, including containment. , handling of ground balls before the mound, and handling of stolen bases. In order to take care of the newcomer Takano, an additional explanation of pitching fouls was added.

In this regard, Hayakawa Qiu was very troubled: "So, didn't I let you go home to watch the Japanese professional game?"

Gao Zhiye was very confident: "I read it, but it doesn't involve pitching fouls, I don't know that there is such knowledge." Then he looked at Sato, who was a freshman in junior high school, "Besides, And Sato."

"Senior, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I've been playing baseball since elementary school, and I know quite well about pitching." Because Takano joined the club after him, and newcomers always appeared doubts, so he treats Gao Zhiye like his peers in many cases.

"Ah, well, even though I'm the only one who doesn't know, since I don't know, it's worth talking about."

Hayakawa raised his forehead and asked Sato, who is also a right-hander, to show him how a right-hander can contain runners on the bases. When Takano practiced well, he was pulled to practice outfield defense.

Gao Zhiye didn't put much energy into the outfield defense before. Fortunately, he has never eaten pork, watched pigs run, and watched everyone's outfield defense, so he quickly learned it.

In the middle and late October, the intensive training suddenly slowed down. Just as Takano took a breath and escaped from the double mountain of pitching and fielding, Coach Ninomiya announced new news.

"Next weekend, we will have a practice match with Jiyong Club." Then, he looked at Gao Zhiye, "Gao Zhiye, you come to start, I can leave it to you."

Gao Zhiye's eyes lit up, and then his body hurt, but he still nodded: "Yes!"

　After two days of exams, I finally passed the exam

　　These days, I’m back in high school. After a little entertainment, I feel very guilty. I should use this time to brush up on the questions TT
　　Then today I originally wanted to apply for the national exam, but it turned out! !I didn't notice that the deadline was 6:24 p.m., and I thought it was 8:[-]. When I signed up at [-]:[-] p.m., it reminded me that the registration was over. God, it's too miserable!
　　But it’s okay, I just want to feel the atmosphere of the national exam, and now I’m going to apply for the exam first, and prepare for the provincial exam next year

　　Enrich your job skills and resume, start interviewing for other jobs in December, submit your resignation + handover job in January, and seamlessly move on to the next job when you come back in February
