King's Green Road

Chapter 11 Part11 training match arrangement ([-])
The day after the Kanto competition returned to the daily training time. Today, Eijun and Chris made an appointment to train in the bullpen. Chris also put on the catcher's equipment and squatted behind the home plate.

"It's the bottom of the ninth inning, with two outs and a full game, what kind of pitch would you throw when a single hit can end the game?" Chris looked at Eijun on the opposite side and said the catch How the exercise is performed.

At the same time, Miyuki, who was arresting Fugu in the bullpen, his eyes lit up when he heard how Chris practiced like this.

As expected of Senior Chris, this kind of practice can not only exercise the catcher's distribution thinking, but also allow the pitcher to think thoughtfully and know what kind of ball to throw under what circumstances.

Increase the feeling of imaginative practice without boring blind pitches, but can this guy Sawamura immediately understand the meaning of Chris-senpai's catch like this?

And then Eijun's pitching performance also clearly told Kazuya Miyuki that he can do it, and he can do it quite well.

"Who is the hitter, and who is the runner on the base bag at third base?" Eijun has already experienced this kind of imaginative practice many times in his previous life, whether in high school or in the major leagues. Naturally, It can cope with Master Chris's imagination exercise very well, and it can be done to an excellent level.

Chris didn't expect Eijun to be so mature in thinking, not only could think of the hitter, but also what kind of runner would appear at third base, "The hitter is Tetsuya Yuunari, and the runner is Yoichi Kuramochi."

Eijun thought carefully about what kind of pitch he should throw in such a situation, and recalled the steady hit and characteristics of his seniors. The general pitching type must not be able to deal with it, and the third base is Kuramochi-senior Under such circumstances, foot strength should not be underestimated, and it is unlikely to be able to stop two outs.

Then I can only shoot this way. I have not overcome this point of being a senior in the previous life and this life. Although it was gone when I went to professional baseball, so few people know it. The link to become a senior is also passed in college. I discovered it by accident during the two-year competition, and I didn't pay much attention to it before.

And in my last life, I only knew about it after listening to Master Chris, and I have observed it carefully in this life, and it is indeed the case.

Raised the right leg high, then stepped down the right leg fiercely, and then threw out the left hand vigorously. After the baseball broke away from the left hand, a white light flashed in front of the home plate, and then wiped the most extreme position of the inner corner of the strike zone Then it turned into a deeper inner corner at an almost right angle, and was well received by Chris into the ball sleeve with a loud bang.

The other pitchers in the bullpen were all aroused to fight, and they threw their balls into the catcher's ball with force, making a crisp sound.

Especially Akira Furutani is the best among them. As the fastest pitcher among them, he even throws his ball into Miyuki's sleeve with all his strength.

Miyuki is happy to see the results, this will better stimulate the pitcher's state, and sure enough, pitchers are a group of aggressive and possessive species.

"Sawamura, why did you shoot the Carter ball with this extreme pitch? Do you think you can solve the problem with this shot?"

Chris was amazed by Sawamura's shot, but this shot can really be solved, which is something he needs to understand. In his opinion, it doesn't seem to be very easy to handle.

"Hahaha one by one, Senior Chris is an attacking weakness that Senior Yu doesn't even know about. To deal with Senior Yu, use a corner kick, first a good shot from the extreme position of the outer corner, and then an unexpected low straight ball from the inner corner. After chasing, the high position of the inner corner is the most difficult shot for the seniors to deal with.

This is what I found out after observation. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Senior Yucheng to come in and try it later, but the last ball must be a corner change ball at the extreme position or the priority of the fast-changing pitch that Senior Yucheng doesn’t know. Change ball, this is the best way to solve the problem of forming seniors.However, it is a bit difficult to achieve full-time suppression, after all, you will be aware of it when you become a senior. "

Rong Jun laughed and said something that shocked everyone present, with a heartless expression.

"Is what Sawamura-san said true or false? Does Yuuki still have weaknesses in such a blow?" Director Ota, who was watching from the bullpen, was surprised.

"Just ask Yucheng to come and try it out, don't tell Yucheng the specifics." Supervisor Kataoka also attaches great importance to this matter, "Chris, when Yucheng comes, you and Sawamura will follow his Try throwing the ball."

"Yes, I understand." Chris also solemnly agreed, "Sawamura, you heard it too."

"Well, I understand, don't worry!" Sawamura has also observed the weakness of forming just mentioned in his life, and it does exist.

Besides, although the formation of shooting and hunting with Miyuki before was out of surprise, this weakness is also there in the familiar situation, but not ordinary pitchers can restrain the formation, but it is no problem for the first-class pitchers at the national level of.

"Supervisor, what's the matter?" Yucheng came over under the leadership of Minister Ota.

"Let's face off against Sawamura. Sawamura only uses two kinds of changeup balls and carter balls. The ball is not limited. You have seen this before. I want to see the performance in this situation." The supervision is only vague. Clearly said something.

"Yes, I understand." Jie Cheng accepted it silently, and walked to the strike zone to get ready.

After Chris formed a signal to prepare, he also began to distribute the ball according to what Sawamura said before.

Everyone in the bullpen who knew the specifics was watching the duel intently. Is what Sawamura said wrong, or is there really a fatal weakness in the formation.

Sawamura, the first ball is a low straight ball from the outside corner, you have to control the path of the ball well.Chris also glanced worriedly at Sawamura, worried about making a mistake. Although Sawamura's ball control is still quite good now, it is only a lot worse than Kawakami's ball control in Seido, and everyone else is not as good as him.

Sawamura nodded, took a deep breath, glanced apprehensively at the formation of the strike zone, and threw the ball vigorously.The ball appeared in front of the home plate with a whooping sound, and after knowing through his own observation that the ball was a strike, he decisively swung the bat with the momentum of thunder, and hit the white bat at the lowest position. The baseball and bat passed by and slammed into Chris's holster.

There was no expression on his face, but he repositioned himself, ready to strike again.

But I thought in my heart, will the next ball be a changeup, after all, it is very possible after such a ball.But he can think of such an idea, probably not.

. . . . . . . .

In the next duel, in the two rounds of matchups, Yu Chengzhen was solved cleanly and neatly in the two matchups that Sawamura said.

Supervisor Kataoka called Yucheng away after seeing the result. It should be to analyze the significance of this confrontation and let Yucheng know where he needs to improve.

The other spectators were also shocked by Sawamura's straightforward pitching ability. They didn't expect this guy's strength to improve so quickly.

Actually such a simple pitching can solve the knot, although it seems that Sawamura has mastered the weakness of the knot, but if there is no high-end pitching level, it can't solve the knot, this must be admitted.

With such complicated thoughts, they carried out their own training, and when the time came, they went back to rest. . .

At this time, in the cafeteria after training, Director Kataoka began to make arrangements for tomorrow's two practice games.

"Tomorrow, we will have a practice match against Teito High School and Komadai High School. In Teito High School's game, the pitchers from the First Army will start..."

Director Kataoka glanced at the current pitchers of the first army, and the most aggressive ones were Furutani and Tanba. Sawamura just glanced at them peacefully and had no intention of fighting for them.

Kawakami has always been used to relaying, so it’s not surprising that he has such a performance. Sawamura’s state is too strange. In the previous arrangement of the Kanto Competition, Sawamura’s performance was not at all positive. The pitching form he wanted to see.

After scanning around, Director Kataoka expressed his thoughts, "The starting eight-bat pitcher is Furutani, and after five innings, Tanba, your ace, will finish the follow-up pitch. Kominato, three sticks of Isashiki, four sticks, five sticks Soko, six sticks Miyuki, seven sticks of Sakai, nine sticks of Hakushu."

The first army who heard the supervisor's order all responded positively, "Yes!"

"In addition, in the Komadai High School game, the main players of the second army will start. Over there, Takashima, you should pay attention. If there is a situation, replace the players who are in poor condition as soon as possible. Trouble."

Supervisor Kataoka arranged for Takashima Rei to monitor the Second Army competition.

"Well, that's what I should do." Takashima Rei raised his glasses and responded with a smile.

The people in the second army not far away are also very happy to have such a competition. This is also the time to show themselves, after all, there is still a vacant spot in the first army.

What's more, if I perform better than the first army, I can replace them, although the possibility is very small.

"Also, Sawamura, you will pitch the entire game tomorrow as the starting pitcher for the Komadai High School game."

Supervisor Kataoka stared at Sawamura, who had just lost the Teito High School competition but did not express anything, and made arrangements to shock the people present.

The reason why Eijun didn't say that he listened to Kataoka's arrangement before was that he was completely in a trance and thought of the failure experience of this practice game.

As soon as I came back to my senses, I heard Supervisor Kataoka asked himself and the Second Army to participate in the game against Komadai High School.Although I don't quite understand it and I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't attend the first army match, but it's good to have the opportunity to wash away the shame of this failed match against Komadai High School.

"Yes, I know, I will face this game seriously."

Although Eijun doesn't know how the supervisor's brain circuit thinks, he still has the attitude he should have. It's enough to just listen carefully. After all, he was fascinated by such a practice and competition arrangement, and he is also a first-class talent. ah.

Supervisor Kataoka was even more misunderstood when he heard Eijun's foolish way of listening to the arrangement, thinking that Eijun had no desire for higher pursuits, and was too drifting with the flow.

I hope that this game can bring different baptisms to Sawamura, and the strength must be limited, otherwise the effect he wants will not be there.

"Komadai High School's strength is only a second-rate high school. In this game, you can only shoot with straight balls. You can't shoot any change balls.

Once you violate it, you will stay in the Second Army when the time comes! "

Director Kataoka spoke very harsh words.

"Yes, I understand!!"

Under the stern gaze of the supervisor, Rong Chun still didn't understand his brain, but he just showed sincerely and straightforwardly that he didn't care about it.

Both the first army and the second army on the field have a hundred thousand reasons. Regarding Sawamura's strength and his defensive ability, it can be said that he is not at all inferior to the pitchers of the first army on the field, and even surpassed it.

But why did the supervisor arrange Sawamura to the second army, and limit the strength in this way, and said something about delegating to the second army.

Miyuki was also very puzzled, but still didn't understand, what did this guy Sawamura do to make the supervisor have such an idea and arrangement.

And the strangest thing is that this guy Sawamura didn't figure out that he was completely relegated as a player from the first army to participate in the second army competition. Why is he not conscious at all, is he so stupid? !
In the eyes of the first army and the second army looking at the stupid son of the landlord's family, Rong Chun just listened to the next supervisor's instructions with a serious expression.

Do you think that this guy doesn't have the feeling that the honor of the first army cannot be desecrated?The first army was dropped to the second army! !OMG.

After the meeting, Eijun showed himself to the players of the Second Army, "Tomorrow, seniors, please support me a lot. This is my first official competition, so I'm sorry!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed politely, "Senior Ono can go to the indoor training ground to catch the pitch and prepare for tomorrow's game."

"Uh, of course, it's my honor to catch a pitch from a pitcher like you, lest I hold you back tomorrow."

Ono Hiroshi was also a little at a loss for his junior's polite appearance, but he also saw him in the bullpen when he wanted to catch the ball from this junior pitcher.

It's best to get used to it in advance. Fortunately, it's just a straight ball, otherwise it would be really troublesome. After all, it's barely enough for me to catch such a straight ball for just one night.

"Then let's go, go there earlier." Sawamura took Ono Hiroshi away after finishing speaking.

The rest of the first and second army players at the door looked at each other in blank dismay. This junior is really contented and happy, and he is too unpursuant! ! !But such an approachable junior is also good, and deserves to be treated well.
