Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 365: Old and cunning

"It's interesting in autumn! This kid's poisonous tongue is not generally annoying!" Coach Kataoka looked at Sendō on second base and chuckled.

"Huh?" Minister Ohta didn't quite understand the meaning behind Coach Kataoka's words, although he also knew how terrifying Sendō's poisonous tongue was.

“For a long time, Miyuki and the other sophomores have been more or less dependent on our generation!

But after we retreat, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ensure the attack power of the line in a short period of time, right?

Especially Miyuki...

The Immortal guy is similar, but he also has the strength.

When he discovered that the support given to him by his teammates in attack was different from that of our generation. "Senior Chris chuckled a little when he said this.

This meant that the scene was a little noisy, and the game had obviously reached a critical moment. People on the bench almost rushed out to cheer, and no one paid attention to the conversation of these people.

Minister Ohta understood what the two of them meant. According to Sendao's character, what should he do if his teammates don't do their best and he is exhausted?

Give them a good "whip"!

Regarding Sendō’s vicious tongue, Minister Ohta silently observed three seconds of silence for the members of the new future team...

I'm afraid Miko will receive special care! (I am reminded of the scene where Miyuki moved to a small bench when he was injured and laughed crazily in front of the pitcher's mound.)

At this moment, Coach Kataoka had figured out the scene where the two sluts parted ways and Sendō chased Miyuki's butt like crazy.

Just like when Harada first became the captain, Bai Mao was beside him and had the same purpose, but Bai Mao didn't have the venomous tongue of immortality.

Because Xian Dao is now the main weapon, and has the strength to hurt people, no one can refute it and can only hold back.

Harada can still hit people if he can't hold it in anymore, but if Miyuki's generation can't perform well, they can only be taught one-sidedly.

But speaking of it, if you think about it, even if you show performance, it seems to be of no use. It depends on who is the standard for immortality.

If Xiandao uses his own distance to mock the group, he can mock him until Miyuki and the others retreat...

Minister Ohta wanted to see this happy time coming for a moment!

Although it may be hell for some people!

……

inside the venue,

Team Zhe was ready, but coach Matsumoto stepped off the bench at this moment and sent captain Shibata to deliver the order.

……

"Supervisory order! Walk him!" Shibata said to everyone gathered on the pitcher's mound.

"Why? Isn't it worse to walk a batter in this situation?" Nan Yun was the first to raise an objection.

"The supervisor said that since the guy in the back is on second base, he can't compete with Yuuki!"

"It's not that I don't understand yet!" Nanyun was a little excited, as this would have a negative impact on his ace's fighting spirit.

It’s not like Hiromi Tate doesn’t have the strength to decide the outcome with Team Zhe.

"So don't rush and let me finish!

The guy at the back and Yuki probably communicated beforehand and decided on a ball type.

That guy can see the hand gestures of Adate when he pitches the ball. If he sees the hand gestures of their ball that determines the type of ball, he can tell Yuuki by pretending to steal the base.

Then..." In the end, Shibata did not continue, but the last pronunciation, which was specially emphasized, already indicated everything he wanted to say.

"Really?" Nanyun said in disbelief.

Tate Hiromi also glanced at Sendao with some hesitation.

"I don't know! But the supervisor said that combined with some strange phenomena in previous games, this possibility is very high!"

"But! Then other batters also...?" At this point, Nanyun also understood.

"That's right!

Other hitters can’t do two things at once! Even if it's just for a moment. "Nanyun said the second half of the sentence in a strange tone.

"As long as you understand! The reason why I am here to deliver the order is to tell you not to think too much!

The supervisor has never disbelieved you. "Shibata smiled and patted Nayun on the shoulder.

After all, this captain has a somewhat optimistic personality.

The real purpose is to allow the catcher to have no distractions and suppress subsequent hitters without being affected.

It doesn't matter if you lose a few points, there must be no problem with the ace's mentality.

……

Afterwards, Kiryu walked Team Zhe in front of everyone's disbelieving eyes.

This is the intelligence gap. Qingdao didn't know that Coach Matsumoto had seen through Sendao and Team Tetsu's tricks.

Qingdao was at a loss for this extremely unreasonable walk-off and the advantage it gave them.

But others gave the Zhe team a free run and could only endure it silently.

Although Coach Matsumoto cannot guarantee that his judgment is correct, Team Zhe is not a hitter without the ability to hit long balls. He just pursues a stable batting rate and retains power.

However, with the help of Immortal Dao, it would be terrible to know the path of the ball in advance.

Therefore, he would rather let the follow-up batter hit a long hit than face the Zhe team when second base is a fairy.

With one out and the bases loaded, this situation is also a difficult choice for Qingdao.

If you play the short game to force points, it will be no problem if you play well, but most of them may be caught in a double play.

However, in terms of delivery, forcing a run or sacrificing a fly ball when one is out is the best way for Kiryu to score stably and decide the outcome head-on.

But giving Kiryu an out count for nothing...

Although the initiative lies with Qingdao, it is difficult to choose.

So when Masuko walked up to the batter's box and looked towards the bench, Coach Kataoka did hesitate.

But in just two seconds, Coach Kataoka glanced at Sendō and gave the secret signal.

Senior Masuko nodded and officially walked into the strike zone.

That code sign was clearly a head-on confrontation.

What gave Coach Kataoka the confidence was, of course, that they had a way to aim for the ball, and his previous explanation to Kuramochi and Sendō's cover made Coach Kataoka certain that the opponent would never detect it.

Masuko is another super-heavy hitter in the strike zone. Giving up a stable run and choosing to take the risk is worth it.

At this time, one out and two out put completely different pressure on the opponent, so you cannot easily give the opponent an out number.

After all, not every hitter is Sawamura, so people have no choice... (laughs)

……

"Ping!"

"Ah?" Under Nan Yun's unbelievable expression, the ball was knocked out.

"puff!"

"Landed!"

"Long ball path to right field!!!"

Isashiki and Sendō also returned to base one after another, celebrating with the players who rushed out of the bench.

It was a timely two-run hit from Masuko.

The score came to 5 to 2, and the game situation was still one out, two out and three bases!

"Everyone did well after aiming for the outside corner!" Minister Ohta said with a relaxed smile.

"what!

After all, it was the third round. I had struggled with this pitcher before, and the line was more or less accustomed to it.

If you aim for the winning shot without the opponent's knowledge, you can still hit it.

After all, Masuko is also a player with the ability to serve as a center line player! "Coach Kataoka nodded seriously.

"Seven sticks! Catcher, Miyuki-kun!"

"Hit you instantly!!!" the audience sang along. “Keep going! Miyuki!”

"Eat all the good stuff! You bad luck bastard!"

"This is your favorite situation, when there is someone in the scoring circle!"

"Call me out!"

"Come on!!!"

"Now is your chance to become a man! Miyuki Kazuya!!!"

"Let's take a shot here! Black-faced glasses!" Xiandao said with a different kind of encouragement in his heart after Sawamura yelled nonsense.

Because, Xiandao also noticed that if he wanted to defeat Hiromi Tate, just this was not enough, so he could only use the point difference to ensure the advantage, and now it was the biggest advantage.

When Miyuki stood in the batter's box, coach Matsumoto frowned and thought about something.

Then he picked up the scorebook, still a little confused on his face and typed a few secret signs on the court.

then,

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Batter's out!"

"Change the scene!"

That's right, after Coach Matsumoto called two signals, he struck out Miyuki and Tanba consecutively.

“I really can’t relax for a moment! Brother Kataoka!

And Mr. Xian Dao, he is really a cunning boy! "Coach Matsumoto sighed with some admiration.

Coach Matsumoto didn't see through Coach Kataoka's tactics, but it was a little strange when he looked at the contents of the scorebook. Except for Sendō, all the shots that were kicked out were outside corner kicks!

When I think about this, Coach Matsumoto wants to curse.

Mainly because Coach Kataoka concealed it so well, and that guy Sendao gave me a smoke bomb.

If it weren't for Coach Matsumoto, an experienced instructor, I always felt that something was wrong and glanced at the scorebook, and I was really kept in the dark.

Although I could only guess at the possibility after looking at the scoreboard, once I actually gave instructions using the secret code, it was all revealed.

Miyuki is not an immortal, and it is impossible for him to defeat Coach Matsumoto in a one-on-one fight.

It can be said that coach Matsumoto acted as a temporary catcher, and Nagumo became the catcher, using the outside corner ball that Miyuki could not take as a cover, and struck out him with the inside corner ball.

Then he carefully observed the movements on the Aomichi bench, and then did the opposite, using an inside corner kick to seduce Tamba and then an outside corner kick to solve Tamba.

This was completely disrupted. Coach Kataoka's original plan of aiming for the inside corner after being seen through helped Kiryu survive the crisis and forcibly survived the crisis.

That's why Coach Matsumoto is in the mood to criticize Coach Kataoka's "insidiousness" here.

In a word, coach Matsumoto is experienced and cunning.

This is something that young coaches cannot do, and even coach Sakaki cannot do it to this extent.

Coach Sakaki's style is actually similar to that of Coach Kataoka, and he hasn't studied the psychology too deeply. He is more powerful and changeable in frontal tactics.

It's not that Coach Sakaki and Coach Kataoka don't understand psychological warfare, it's that they can't play this kind of psychological warfare in which they guess each other's thoughts.

In this regard, the master and disciple are not even as good as Immortal. Immortal may not have as much experience as Coach Matsumoto, but he is far more cunning and cautious than Coach Matsumoto.

It would be interesting if one day these two met face to face.

But anyway, results are everything.

Coach Kataoka has been observing for so long and achieved such results as soon as he took action. He scored four points in one breath and achieved a great reversal from being one point behind to leading by three points.

And if the opponent is not the experienced coach Matsumoto, I am afraid that someone else, whether it is Inami's Kuniyu coach, Nishibori's red nose, or Jumo's big old man, will probably be taken away in a wave.

Kiryu's rapid rise from an unknown new school was not due to the reputation of the players, but the fear of this coach.

No matter how powerful the tactics are, they are not as direct and effective as seeing through the opponent's thoughts.

"It's completely seen through! That old man is very powerful!" Miyuki sighed when he returned to the bench.

"That's right!

It’s quite rare for you to be fooled around! "

"Xian Dao! You bastard!

I'm your teammate!

That's the enemy over there, right? "Xian Dao's complaints caused Mi Xing to feel extremely uncomfortable.

Minister Ohta looked like he wanted to laugh but was afraid to laugh out loud, although there was still a little worry in his eyes.

After all, three points is not a big difference!

"Damba! Center line!

In this game, when it's the opponent's center turn, I'll make a substitution!

The point difference is enough, suppress them well!

Then have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's game! "Coach Kataoka said to Tanba who was getting ready to play.

"Hi!!!"

Tanba had no objections to this arrangement. After all, he still had to face Amasawa, a strong hitter, and it was not an escape.

After the entire summer preliminaries, Danbo, who has been sitting on the sidelines almost all the time, has fully trusted everyone in this team.

"Fang Gu! After this game, I'll leave it to you!

If it can be done! "After that, Coach Kataoka said to Furiya who was called back by him.

then,

"boom!!!"

"Hey?"

"!!!"

Jianggu's aura soared into the sky.

"I see!!

Please leave it all to me! I suppressed them all! Jiang Gu said in a crisp voice.

"Put away your aura!" Ounisang went up and struck with his knife.

“Then…that Yalu!

Going on stage so soon! And to be expected so much by that BOSS..." Sawamura clenched his fist with one hand and placed it on the railing at the edge of the bench. His expression was a little twisted or unwilling, or he had his usual facial expression of resentment and autistic expression. middle.

"Rongjun-kun! It's like a cat's eye!" Xiaochun reminded from the side.

Others also noticed that Sawamura was having a little trouble, but now Sawamura!

After Dambo fully recovers, although he can still play due to the fact that he cannot see the release point, at this stage, the frequency of easy-to-play pitches like the center is still too high.

This point also often appeared in the autumn competition in the previous life.

Even after the pitching phobia is cured, both the inside corner and the outside corner will often appear, but they will not be hit out as steadily as Tamba.

But with Danbo's complete resurrection, it will be difficult for him to have a chance to play this summer.

Unless a dozen rounds are played.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that in ancient times (decades ago), two pitchers competed with each other, and both teams were led by aces.

In the end, no one could score. As a result, the pitching battle was played until the scoreboard could no longer be written. In the end, it lasted for an unknown number of hours. Only in the twenty-fifth inning did one team score a point and the game ended.
