Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 66

'Miss? When the teammates on the bench heard this word, it was a little hard to imagine, "Will Gao Zhiye miss the shot?" 'But after thinking about it, as a pitcher, although misses are not commonplace, there will always be so many times in a season, and it is the strangest thing to never miss a pitch.

"Yes"

"Hiss—" Listening to Lang Zhi, he covered his face with a towel, "Mom, it's obviously not his fault, why would he feel so ashamed!" '

Coach Nigong drooped his eyes: "Then can you continue to cast?"

"can!"

After giving way to the entrance of the bench, the two passed each other.

"Don't take the team's victory on your back."

When Gao Zhiye turned his head, he only saw the back of his head.

Coach Fujii, who acted as the recorder, slowly scanned the children with his eyes, muttered in his heart for 3 seconds, and broke the silence: "Let's play the eighth bat!"

As Baba left the bench, everyone's eyes began to go to the court, and the atmosphere on the bench eased up.

Langzhi, Hayakawa, Shibazaki, Sato and others hurriedly dragged Takano to the preparation room.

"That's why I really think I'm going to lose!" Lang Zhi thought he knew Gao Zhiye very well. Although his elder brother seemed to be calm, the first time he played as an ace, his nervousness was visible to the naked eye. It's probably starting again now.

"Who said we will lose?" Sato first disagreed, "Didn't we lose points in the last game, and the state of the senior is much better than the opponent."

"The key is you, brother!" Lang Zhi suddenly said solemnly: "There are many firsts in life. As a pitcher, there will always be the first time you play, the first loss, the first hit, and the first time. Don't take it to heart when someone hits a home run, or even gets double-bombed for the first time, because it will happen many times in the future anyway!"

"Hey, hey——" Shibazaki made sense when he heard this, but your brother's expression became more and more terrifying.

"Langzhi——" Gao Zhiye clenched his fists and was about to greet him when Hayakawa interrupted: "Gao Zhiye!"

"Ok?"

"It's really like what Lang Zhi said, we don't necessarily lose, right? We even had a draw last time."

"...Hey——" Takano Naga sighed: "Except for the four bads, it is basically difficult for us to hit the opponent's pitch."

There was a voice on the court from outside the gate, Kinoshita's eight-ball game ended, as if to confirm Takano's words.

He shrugged. "So, whenever I drop a point, the game stops."

"What's the background of that guy?" Lang Zhi was not convinced.

"They were runners-up in the Boys League last time." The coaches didn't tell anyone else that Gao Zhiye's condition was not good today, so they probably suspected him of slipping the tongue.

"So what about the runner-up? The current team won't win." Gao Zhiye didn't speak, and Lang Zhi joined him again.

"Needless to say, let's play."

Several people left the preparation room and returned to the bench.

Takano returned to form, but only kept two scoreless games.

In the third inning, it was the second round. He was waiting for the straight ball from the inside corner this time. He found that the catcher liked to use the inside corner straight ball to scare people, probably because he believed in the accuracy of his pitcher.

But this time, he was going to make the shooting pair suffer a bit.

"Bump—" The ball flew far away and landed in the corner of the right field. Katsumura originally wanted to wait for the ball to bounce back, but the ball hit the outer wall and rolled down, so he had to go forward to deal with it. Back and forth, when the ball is passed to the infield, the opponent will go up to third base.

"Two out!"

The guard behind him yelled.

It can be clearly felt that in the second game, they adapted faster. They were obviously helpless against the straight ball falling from a high angle in the first game a few days ago, but now they are gradually able to hit it.

The third hit through the infield, the second came back, and the first point of the game came.

With two outs and one base, someone dropped a run. Facing the fourth bat, Takano felt like a big rock had landed on the ground, and he felt much more relaxed.

Four hit a single, then five were struck out by a changeup, and the inning was finally over.

Gao Zhiye ran back to the bench and stopped when he passed by Coach Ninomiya: "Coach Ninomiya, do you want to replace me?"

"Do you want to end?"

"No."

"Then keep going, it's just a practice game."

With this sentence, another stone fell to the ground. During the previous summer competition, he knew that Coach Ninomiya was not an ace-only person. It was very scientific to let whoever was in good condition, but this choice was like Like the sword of Duskmore.

'It's just that I've only practiced baseball for a little over half a year--what's there to be proud of. '

--------

At 11:[-] in the morning, the game ended, and finally lost.

The Yongming Little League player has already left, and the opposing pitcher has exchanged mailboxes with Gao Zhiye.

"How does it feel to lose the first game?" It was not Langzhi who came to challenge, but Hayakawa asked.

"Why do you ask."

"It's nothing, the game will never be won all the time, and it's just a practice game." Hayakawa was a little confused about where Takano was nervous, and it wasn't the summer game. If you lose this time, there will be no next time.

"It doesn't matter to me now. In fact, what Lang Zhi said makes sense. You will know when you lose once, and you will get used to it later." There are wins and losses, and everyone's emotions will not be burdened by a pitcher, which is good.

Just when Gao Zhiye's mood gradually returned to normal, Langzhi finally came over: "It's a pity, we are training outside, and we can't let my mother cook red bean rice for you. This is your precious first loss!"

"You are courting death!"

The slapstick in the self-training was immediately stopped, but the disturbed mind did not calm down. When everyone returned to the hotel after eating, Gao Zhiye did not directly use fighting skills in full view of everyone.

"It's only natural to wash my brother's socks."

"Your socks are so sweaty, I don't want them."

Gao Zhiye made two gestures, indicating that he would show the power of fighting skills in front of everyone.

"...If you lose the ball, vent your anger on my younger brother! I also recognize you!" Lang Zhi was furious, and honestly began to wash his hands.

"Brother loses, I don't know how to comfort my brother, I also recognize you!" Gao Zhiye pointed: "You didn't rub that part, be more serious."

"I'm going to call Mom!"

"Tsk, don't disturb them right now." After the two arrived at the training site, they contacted the adults with a frequency of one call every two days.

"The last time I called, Dad hung up after saying a few words. I don't know if he can be busy alone."

"Your grandparents, aren't they coming soon? Leave the adults' affairs to the adults."

Shen Qing is an elderly woman, and Mr. Sasaki chose to accompany the childbirth directly, so the two eldest children will be left unattended, so after the family discussed, they still let the two elders come over, on the one hand, they can take care of the two sons at home, and on the other hand, wait for the tummy After the two children in the house are born, they can also help.

"Don't think about it, there are still three days left for the training camp, and I will be back soon."

　Changed the previous chapter, this chapter is also deleted

　　I feel awkward how to write this lost game, so I replayed it

　　1. Technical level: Did not describe in detail how strong the opponent is, why Gao Zhizhi felt pressured

　　2. Psychological layer: Gao Zhiye’s psychological pressure is not enough, and the current character design is still a bit single
　　3. The root cause level: I have watched a lot of technical videos, but I don’t really feel anything. It’s always duckweed in the air. Tsk, find a team to play baseball? ?
