Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 362 Tactics of both sides

After Miyuki was scolded so much that he didn't want to speak, Senior Chris turned his head and handed Xiandao a banana.

"But it's really a pity! It was just a little bit close!"

"No! The bat was just suppressed by the power of the ball!

And I didn’t hit the center of the ball either!

My hands were a little numb just now, but Tate-san has really made a lot of progress! "Xendao put the banana on the bench and looked at his hands and replied.

"Souga!" Senior Chris was as gentle as ever.

Old Asasi!

After a short conversation, everyone focused their attention on the field again, and the Zhe team's duel was about to begin.

Although it was one out and a runner on second base, Kiryu had no intention of competing with Tetsuo's team.

On the one hand, the risk is too high, and on the other hand, we don’t want the team to get used to the ball so easily.

If you want to keep suppressing the Zhe team, you will inevitably let him see too many ball paths, which is very detrimental to the final game.

If Xiandao and Team Zhe were not on the same team, Xiandao's ending would have been the same.

Although his line play just now wasn't much better, he mainly focused on bad shots and was unwilling to decide the outcome easily.

The team didn't take any action on bad pitches and difficult pitches, so they were walked.

Previously, the team kept using inside corner kicks, which left a deep impression on Masuko-senpai and tricked Masuko into taking a bad shot from the outside corner.

That's two out!

"Seven sticks! Catcher, Miyuki-kun!"

"Pick up all the good things! Bastard!"

"real or fake?"

"Four bad balls!"

"Basics loaded?"

"Although we can have a showdown with this hitter, after all, this hitter's scoring ability is good, and who wants the pitcher behind him?" Coach Matsumoto glanced at Tanba who was squatting behind Miyuki.

After finally reversing the score, and encountering a smooth game that can stabilize without losing points, it is naturally impossible to have a showdown with Miyuki.

"nice shot!"

"Batter's out!"

Although there was a walk in this game, the Zhe team was an offensive team, and walking Miyuki was a tactical necessity, so naturally no one had any objections.

Seido's side also didn't expect that the center field would start with the leadoff batter on base. After getting Seido's outs without any damage, coach Matsumoto found the safest way and allowed them to achieve it perfectly. idea.

Moreover, the head-to-head encounters were reduced, making it more difficult for Qingdao's main scoring points to adapt to Hiromi Tate's ball.

After the information became transparent, and with Coach Matsumoto's full command, it became clear that this team was not much better than in practice games, but its combat effectiveness was significantly improved.

This is the scary thing about an all-around famous coach who combines intelligence analysis with on-the-spot command and overall control.

Coach Kataoka is still a little less experienced than Coach Matsumoto, or he doesn't think that deeply, although Coach Kataoka's thinking is much more flexible than in his previous life due to the addition of Sendō.

"That old man is really difficult to deal with!" Sendao complained softly when he saw the opponent's Kiryu defensive formation, which had survived the game without losing any points, and looked at Coach Matsumoto.

“If it wasn’t difficult, Kiryu High School wouldn’t be what it is today!

However, this tactic cannot be achieved a second time with luck. "Coach Kataoka didn't seem to be shaken at all.

He also firmly believes that his strategy is correct and that he can win by coincidence.

Coach Kataoka's tactics are naked conspiracy, but conspiracy is often much better than those surprise attacks.

He clearly knew Qingdao's intention, but he just happened to have his weak point pinched and couldn't break it.

The only thing he could do was hold on, as if this game had the intention of preserving Hiromi's physical strength.

Coach Kataoka's approach is also inherited from Coach Sakaki, who is well versed in what he said before, the idea of ​​​​defeating the art of war with the right combination and the unexpected.

Frontal pressure plus surprise attack support is the most powerful.

In other words, baseball is a sport adapted from a battle.

The runner is equivalent to a messenger, running through three bases along the only path, avoiding the enemy's pursuit and interception, and returning to the home base.

……

At this time, Coach Kataoka, who had been expressionless after observing for so long without any actual precise instructions, had actually thought of a surprise attack plan through observation.

Although there are no actual instructions, the main reason is that the main players in Qingdao this year are really reliable and can be left to them to judge.

In the original book, except for the critical moments of the game, the summer competition does require the coach to coordinate multiple players or see opportunities. Coach Kataoka rarely gives actual instructions.

But the number of such calls began to skyrocket in the autumn series, until the new generation of base fingers, as well as Watanabe and others off the field, began to fully grow up.

It can help him share his worries, or in other words, he can rest assured and let the players judge, and then start to enter the stocking mode in the summer again, reducing interference with the players.

“Damba!

Leave the blow to those guys!

As a pitcher, you didn't lose to Hiromi Tate!

Facing the opponent's lower position shot, just shoot with your chest and head raised! "Coach Kataoka said to Tanba who was struck out.

"Hi!!!" Lord Ace was so simple and resurrected with full health.

"Furuya! Kawakami, warm up well and be ready to play at any time!

If the time comes, I will let you play. There is still a game tomorrow, so we can’t let the ace get overtired! "As he spoke, Coach Kataoka showed a relaxed smile.

This smile quickly infected the entire team, including Sawamura.

"Hi!!!"

The Qingdao defensive lineup preparing to take the field let out a fierce and huge roar.

“[There is a game tomorrow], which means I never thought we would lose!

[Don’t let the trump card get overtired] That means they are definitely not our opponents!

Hahaha! Whoops! Uh-huh! "Sawamura also understood Coach Kataoka's subconscious, and then he burst into strange laughter, and he couldn't stop it.

"This team! There is absolutely no impression that it will lose!

We are the strongest! ! ! "When Sawamura raised his head, his eyes were shining and he was smiling.

Even the stupid village understands what it means, and naturally everyone else understands it too, so their blood is boiling!

"The first half of the fifth round! Kiryu High School's attack,

Seven sticks! Shortstop, Nakai-kun! "

The one that comes up to attack is the familiar one, Kiryu’s rabbit-tooth-shaped teeth...

The people at Qingdao were deeply impressed by him. As for the reason, that guy Sawamura committed a first-base diversionary foul when he first came on the field in that practice game. He was the first-base runner at that time, and then he was sent directly to second because of Sawamura's foul. base.

“Although he is a low-level hitter, he is also a hitter who can swing the bat completely without hesitation, so he is a type that should not be underestimated!

We knew it clearly enough from the last practice match! "

This hitter also didn't raise his leg, and he usually raised his leg slightly.

"Fushi!"

"call out!"

"Huh? Missed the shot?" Nakai saw the ball coming towards his face.

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

Then the ball turned extremely fast and entered the catcher's mitt!

"nice shot!"

Tanba-senpai’s curve ball also proved that his condition is really explosive.

Although the curveball before was also very wide, this kind of ball path that gives the right-hand hitter the illusion of being slapped in the face cannot be achieved anytime and anywhere.

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

The second pitch is still a curveball. This time the change is not as dramatic as the previous pitch, but it is still very exaggerated.

"Fushi!"

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"Third baseman!" Seeing the batter's failure, a group of people on the bench shouted in unison.

"Pah!" Senior Pudding received it steadily.     “Out!”

"The last one was a straight shot from the inside corner!"

"One out!"

"One out!"

The Qingdao players once again inspired each other.

Denbo also successfully got three outs, ending the inning before hitting the line in the third round.

This also made Miyuki breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter what, I don’t want to face Kiryu with Amasawa as the pioneer in this round.

"Nice! Pitch! Tamba-san!"

"Tamba-san!"

"It seems! It's too early to defeat him!

Forget it!

Now that the score is tight, Brother Kataoka will not easily replace his ace! "Coach Matsumoto looked at the teams motivating each other and didn't pay much attention.

……

"How do you feel? That guy's ball!" Coach Kataoka asked before the game started.

“The power of the ball is much stronger than it was during practice games, and as the number of games increases, the power of the ball also increases, which is also very difficult.

But it’s not a completely unhittable ball!

But that slider is a bit exaggerated! "Isashiki-senpai spoke first.

"And so far there have been no missed shots. I'm afraid we can't pin our hopes on this today!" Ounisang said.

"Woo!" Senior Pudding fully agreed with Ioannisang's opinion.

"Boom!!!" Team Zhe silently activated his aura.

"Yeah! I know!

How many pitches did that slider take? "Coach Kataoka asked.

"Eight-ball! It's mainly used with curveballs to disrupt the batter's path, and when facing Sendou and Yuki.

The decisive ball is more of a straight ball! "Senior Chris said while looking at the scorebook.

"Then how many of the winning shots are low outside corners?" Coach Kataoka asked again.

Senior Chris opened his eyes wide, then lowered his head to check carefully, and immediately replayed some details of the entire game in his mind at high speed, although it was not as exaggerated as remembering everything.

But it was still enough for senior Chris to realize the crux of the problem. Hiromi Tate's pitches were concentrated in the four corners, and the winning ball was the same. However, because of the different types of balls, the winning ball on the ball path, and the interspersed reasons, Chris ignored it. Lots of problems with the outside corners.

"Except for a few dead balls in the seventeen seats, five are straight balls from outside angles, three are sliders, two curveballs..., a total of ten balls!" Senior Chris took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Because of the different types of balls, it’s easy to overlook the common points. Depending on the left-hand hitter and the right-hand hitter and the specific differences between the hitters, the straight ball, curve ball and slider are used to determine the winner.

A straight pitch and curveball for left-hand hitters, a slider and a low pitch to the outside corner of a straight pitch for right-hand hitters.

It's still mid-game now, and the strategy may change in the final round! "When talking about this, Coach Kataoka paused.

"Except for Sendō and Yuki, everyone else is targeting you! ... The outer corner is low!

Regardless of whether it's a good shot or a bad shot, hit it all with confidence!

The right-hander can give up on that slider for now!

In addition, don't swing at the inside corner ball at all to prevent your intentions from being easily exposed and let them know in advance the path of the ball we are aiming for!

Before they change their ball matching plan, let me play as much as possible! "After Coach Kataoka finished speaking, he glanced sideways at everyone.

This look is full of momentum.

"Hi!!!"

“And if you are discovered, wait for my instructions!

Immortal way! Yuuki! You are free to judge the timing of your action!

If you think you can fight it out, you can take action! "

"I know!" Xiandao said.

Afterwards, Yuuki nodded silently.

"Come on! Let them see your momentum and have a good look at our Seido baseball!!!" Coach Kataoka yelled after finishing the pre-war guidance.

"Yo Xi!!!"

"what!!!"

Everyone formed a circle and shouted loudly!

"The second half of the fifth round! Seido High School's attack,

Nine sticks! Right fielder, Hakushu-kun! "

"Come on! Senior Baishu!"

"Fight it out!"

"Um..., Kyoudo-senpai!!!" Sawamura seemed to be thinking of some powerful words of encouragement, and gave Hakushu a nickname by the way.

"Who is it? That guy named Kyodo!" The taciturn senior Hakushu complained in his heart.

This was just a small episode, and then Hakushu turned his attention to the pitcher's mound, the Kiryu ace who, as always, smiled like a skull.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"nice shot!"

For left-handed hitters, Kiryu is not stingy about pitching inside corners!

then,

"call out!"

The moment he judged it was the outside corner, Bai Shu stepped forward without hesitation.

"Ping!"

"call out!"

"puff!"

"It's down! Nine-bat Hakushu infield hit on base!!!"

"What happened suddenly? This is a bad ball!

Are these guys getting anxious?

No! Not quite!

Want to increase the intensity of the entanglement, so you start taking action on some bad balls? "Nanyun's mind was full of thoughts.

In fact, he was not sure whether this was a coincidence or because he had intensified his efforts to pester and kill Hiromi as he thought.

After all, he had no idea that the outside corner was being targeted. After all, he had done so much to hide it, and he didn't think it would be seen through the cross-use of ball paths. He probably didn't even have such an idea, so he couldn't figure it out.

He couldn't figure it out, but it didn't stop him from continuing to match the ball, and he also started to observe intentionally. He also hoped that he was neurotic and overthinking.

After all, Qingdao's line play is very strong. This nine-stick hitter is here just for smooth line play. It is normal for him to be beaten out.

"One bat! Shortstop, Kuramochi!"

“Finally we’ve arrived at Qingdao’s third round of top lane!

Aomichi, who missed an excellent scoring opportunity in the previous game, launched a fierce attack on Kiryu again. "

“Run with all your strength!…Don’t stop…

Run with all your might! ...don't stop...

Fight it out! Kuramochi! "

"Keep going! Kuramochi!"

"Come on! Kuramochi!"

"come on!!"

"Use your footsteps to interfere with them!"

"Phew!" Listening to the sound of cheering, Kuramochi stared at the bat in front of him and took a deep breath.

Kuramochi's heartbeat was thumping!

　Go to sleep, good night!

　　Finally asking for votes...
