Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 566 Gathering

(Too sleepy and too late, so the ending is out of context.

Everyone should know that I can't stay up too late at night. )

"So, what are you going to do by calling us here?" Xiandao looked at the idiot in front of him and said.

After most people's independent practice ended, Sawamura left Kanemaru, Tojo, Kariba, and Sendō behind, saying that he had something important to ask for advice.

“I’ve been thinking about pitching recently, but I always feel like my pitching has reached a certain bottleneck.

This won't work!

There are three games left before Koshien. I have to become stronger for my goal! ! "Sawamura said seriously.

“Souga!

It was probably because of this at that time! "Xian Dao nodded.

"At that time?" Tojo asked doubtfully.

Sendō then briefly talked about Sawamura throwing a ball in the corridor and yelling about being caught by a third-year senior.

"I see!

It’s definitely Sawamura’s style! Tojo said with a gentle smile.

"The style of Baga Village!" Kanemaru emphasized.

"Don't call me Baga! Baga or something like that!

Xiaochun wants to practice independently and enters the period of resistance again!

So the only people I can ask for help are you! "Sawamura bowed ninety degrees at the end and asked.

"Then... Kariba, go catch the ball and let us take a look!" Sendō turned to Kariba and said.

"OK!" Kariba said, walking to the home base and starting to squat.

"It would be better if there is a beater!" Sendao said, looking at Kanemaru with a smile.

"Really! Let me be the one who beats you!" Kanemaru had no choice but to get ready to be fully armed.

"Kanemaru!!" Sawamura said with bright eyes and moved.

"Don't get me wrong!

This is all for the team!

You are right that there are three games left before Koshien. During the period when Furitani was injured, you and Kawakami-senpai were the only two pitchers left.

You just have to keep getting stronger! "Kanemaru said helplessly.

Kanemaru is not stupid, he knows very well how important Feng Gu is to this team.

Therefore, they must make their existing pitchers stronger to make up for the vacancy.

Although Kawakami-senpai is stronger, that person has already taken shape and it will take a long time to become stronger.

Sawamura is different. He only masters a few skills and has a lot of room for growth.

……

"Yo Xi!

bring it on! ! ! Sawamura! "After being fully armed, Kanemaru pointed the bat at Sawamura and shouted loudly.

"Eijun!

Just express your recent thoughts to your heart’s content!

But we are very busy. If you make some messy things, I will leave. "Sendao said to Sawamura.

"Well!" Hearing Sendao's words, Sawamura foamed at the mouth and decided to show off himself well.

"First make an expression as if you want to take an outside corner kick, and then take an inside corner kick!!" Sawamura said to himself in his heart.

This was also the method he thought of during the day.

"...!

How do you look like you're going to take a corner kick? "At this time, Sawamura suddenly realized this important issue.

"What's wrong? Hurry up and vote!!" Xiandao looked at Sawamura's dumbfounded expression and asked in confusion.

"Eno!

clam down! Sawamura!

What was my expression like when I took the outside corner kick before?

Um……! "After Sawamura agreed, he thought to himself.

"Ah! I was just staring at the batter!!!" Sawamura suddenly shouted.

"???" Several people present had little question marks on their faces.

"No, no, no! It's nothing!" Sawamura shook his hand in panic and continued to think.

"In this case, is it no longer okay to stare at the batter and throw the outside corner?

Two methods that are rare to think of...

So, what should a hitter do if he targets a certain pitch?

My investment is not that good now!

……

and many more!

When I pitched before, I didn't stare at the hitter at first but relaxed.

What if I pitched the outside corner while I was glaring at the batter, and how about pitching the inside corner when I was as relaxed as before? "Sawamura did whatever he thought of.

"Yo Xi! I'm going to vote!"

"Stare at the hitter! ... throw the outside corner ball!!"

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"How is it?!!!" Sawamura asked loudly.

"The ball is very powerful!!" Kariba said loudly.

"But it's a bad ball!" Kanemaru said with a wicked smile.

Kariba didn't have the nerve to say it, and of course Kanemaru was so evil-minded that he couldn't help but say it.

"ah!!

One more goal! ! ! "

"Relax! Relax! Relax your whole body!!"

"Hey!" Sawamura started to throw the ball with a silly smile.

"Have you recovered?" Xiandao thought he was too nervous before.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Ah!!!" Sawamura was instantly petrified, because...

“You bastard, you did it on purpose!!!

Fortunately, I brought armor! "

"No no! I didn't mean it!" Sawamura denied wildly.

"Stop lying!!!"

……

“On the surface, I was relaxed, but at the last moment I was too hard, and there was nothing I could do about the ball going wild.

Maybe this guy thought too much about messy things during the pitching process, which caused his body to lose control in the end." When the two quarreled, Sendao thought secretly in his heart.

Sendō saw clearly the details and problems when Sawamura pitched.

“That’s almost it!

Eijun!

Just pitched, what on earth were you thinking about writing?

Even if your ball control is not good, you shouldn't suddenly make such wild shots! "

"That!..." Sawamura told Sendao what he just thought about.

"Alas! Baga!

Forget all that mess! ! !

Your shots are not that accurate to begin with. If you think about these messy things, it will only make the ball control worse.

Moreover, there is such a clear difference between an inside corner kick and an outside corner kick, and the hitter may be a little confused at first.

But it was only one or two goals.

When he realized that the difference had to do with the path of the ball, wasn't it all exposed? "

"Ah!!!" Sawamura realized after hearing what Xiandao said. This is not deceiving the batter, this is deceiving himself!

Telling the batter his pitch, and feeling proud that he can deceive the batter, this is what Sawamura can think of.

"Pfft!" Seeing Sawamura's reaction, Tojo was so cute.

“What should we do?

Although Sendō you have said before that the combination of inside and outside corners can confuse and deceive hitters, but what should I do if they aim for the ball? "Sawamura asked for advice.

“First of all, like before, all golf balls have the same path and posture.

Your original posture can deceive the attacker very well, so there is no need to do anything extra.

The arm swing is the same for both inside and outside corner kicks, which is already a weapon.

Moreover, even if you aim at the ball path, your ball is not easily hit.

Those dark glasses will not turn a blind eye to the opponent's aim at the ball.

Do not worry! ! Xiandao said calmly with a smile.

“In other words, it’s not easy to hit, but it can still be hit!

If the number of balls and innings increases! !

Moreover, those dark glasses...can't completely see through the path of the hitter's target, right?

He is different from you! ! ! "Sawamura said suddenly.

"Um?

Is this great wisdom and foolishness?

No, it’s not that far yet!

All I can say is that I suddenly had an enlightenment! ...Although it was only for a moment. "Xiandao didn't expect that Sawamura, who had just done something stupid, would suddenly think so quickly.

"Kula Kula! Don't learn from Sendō-kun!

Follow up and call the senior a black-faced glasses! Tojo advised, he was always so gentle.

……

“I…, I don’t want to be that kind of reliever who gets used to the pitch and can’t stand it after a few innings.

I want to respond to the supervisor's expectations... I want to be the ace of this team!

You should know! ! ! Immortal way! "Seeing that Sendao didn't speak, Sawamura, who knew that he was right, began to express his determination.

“Sawamura!

It's only temporary now, don't be too anxious! Tojo said gently. Although Tojo didn't think that Sawamura could become an ace, to be precise, he never thought that Sawamura could become an ace, but he never denied Sawamura's talent.

After all, the amazing speed of evolution of these two people made him temporarily move to the outfield in order to play.

After all, he was also a pitcher who reached the national semi-finals in his second year of junior high school, and was evenly matched with Taiyo Mukai.

Although he didn't suddenly evolve like Taiyo Mukai, he was definitely a recognized pitcher with a promising future as a junior high school student.

However, the same team has two monster pitchers...

Sawamura is one of them! ! !

Sawamura rarely responded to Tojo, but stared straight into Sendō's eyes.

Sawamura knew that in the entire Qingdao, the man in front of him was the only one who firmly believed that he could become Qingdao's ace, and only he could understand it! ! !

"You...are really an impatient and greedy guy!

So, what is it that you need?

Let me say it beforehand. You should know very well that I am very good at learning, but very bad at coaching others!

I can only analyze it as best I can, and if that's the thing I'll be fine! ! Xiandao said with a smile.

Seeing Sendao's smile, Sawamura also laughed excitedly.

After knowing each other for so many years, don’t think that Sawamura really can’t figure out the pulse of immortality.

Sendao is a very patient and enthusiastic person towards his own people. Sawamura knows what to do, and Sendao will never refuse a request.

“Something you can definitely answer!

Tell me honestly!

Immortal way! Kanemaru! Tojo! And a hunting ground!

As a pitcher, I want to be better, stronger.

What are the shortcomings?

What else can I do now?

please! Lend me your wisdom! ! ! "Sawamura said loudly.

At this time, not far from the indoor practice field, Coach Ochiai had just discussed the current situation of the team with Miyuki and a few others.

To put it simply, several sophomores also know very well that how far this team can go in the autumn competition depends largely on the state of falling.

Although Qingdao's current line is not weak, it does not have the confidence it had in summer to dare to compete with any team with strong pitchers in terms of scoring ability.

Coach Kataoka also said at the beginning of the autumn series that the weakening of the offensive ability in the autumn series can only depend on the explosive power of the pitching staff and the core of the offensive line.

Strictly speaking, the pitching array depends on Feng Gu. Feng Gu will basically suppress the opponent's line for more than six innings, and then the substitute pitcher will finish it.

Without Fukiya, the team has a vacancy of more than six games. Kawakami Kazamura, the two of them teamed up to suppress the strong team for nine games.

The few people who had just finished chatting also happened to hear the sound of the city's practice ground, mainly due to Sawamura's shouting being too loud.

……

"What's missing?" Kanemaru, who had just taken off his protective gear, asked with a dull look.

"Yeah!" Sawamura nodded heavily.

"Okay? Really say it!" Kanemaru asked in confirmation.

"Yo Xi!! Come on!!!" Sawamura shouted loudly, and he was mentally prepared.

"First of all, your brain is so bad!

There are so many emotions on the mound!

No ball speed! "

Every time Kanemaru said something, Sawamura seemed to be hit hard. The enlightenment and fighting spirit that he had previously been prepared to listen to about his shortcomings began to collapse.

"Also! Controlling the ball is not good at all!!!" Tojo also added.

"I just relied on my momentum to get through!"

"It's not enough to contain runners!"

"I was so carried away when I was in class!" Then the two of them said each sentence without giving others a chance to interrupt. Finally, Kanemaru mixed in some of his own jealousy of Sawamura's popularity...

"Hey! What did you all say I should do?" Xiandao said with a smile.

However, before he could answer, he was interrupted! !

"ah!!!

I see! Say no more! ! "Sawamura yelled, covering his head. It seemed that he was hurt enough.

"Sorry!" Tojo apologized when he saw Sawamura's appearance.

"So I'm asking you, is it really okay?" Kanemaru said helplessly.

"How can I be depressed because of this little blow!!

I really want to master new weapons! !

Please..." Sawamura gritted his teeth and insisted, wanting them to continue.

"Hey! The game is the day after tomorrow!!

It's impossible to change your pitching in just a few days, right?

Letting you be the starter is a recognition of your strength!

Don't think about those strange things, just use your current strength to deal with them! "Miyuki, who had been watching outside for a while, finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Sawamura's words.

"But..." Sawamura wanted to say again that he didn't want to be a pitcher who only pitched a few innings, but was interrupted again by Miyuki's words of encouragement, praising him for being calm now and not getting carried away.

Although Sawamura didn't want to explain, the dissatisfaction still remained on his face!

He felt that only Xian Dao understood his thoughts.

"No!!

The shortcomings have not yet been made up for!

He himself has noticed it, and he won't accept it!

Otherwise, Mr. Xiandao would not stay here. "Coach Ochiai suddenly spoke, and finally took a deep look at Sendao.

Although he didn't hear the previous conversation, he was not blind enough to ignore Xiandao's serious look.

The Immortal Dao who usually hides would not easily reveal his eyes like this.

After all, Sawamura is the person he cares about most, and there is no need to hide. The important thing is to solve the problem.

“Since they don’t want to say it, I’ll just say it!

What you are missing now is a change-up ball, which is the so-called winning ball that can determine the outcome with the batter. "

Sawamura's expression suddenly changed!

“Instead of just relying on straight pitches, if I can have a changeup pitch that allows hitters to seize the opportunity.

It will also be easier to guide, right? "Coach Ochiai saw Miyuki staring at him, so he said.

"That... is correct!" Miyuki reluctantly responded, but her expression was in disbelief.

"The game will start soon, at this time?" Miyuki found it difficult to accept or understand Coach Ochiai's behavior.

"As expected! You are not suitable to be the captain!

Xian Daojun can understand my thoughts.

Right? "Coach Ochiai looked at Miyuki's unbelievable expression and was slightly disappointed.

"Does this mean that Axiao's foot injury has reached this level?" Xiandao said with a sigh.

"Come on! No problem then!

This guy can adjust even if he is affected, I always believe this!

If you lose points in the game the day after tomorrow due to mistakes, I will be responsible for scoring! Xiandao said firmly.

Although the purpose of doing this is different, Coach Ochiai’s eyes are still full of appreciation!

"Then...let me teach you!...change ball...let me teach you!" Then, coach Ochiai rolled up his sleeves and said to Sawamura.

"Do you have a ball?" Coach Ochiai asked.

"Ah!...Yes!"

They had not seen Sawamura pitching before, so they didn't know whether they were prepared.

"Please lend it to me!"

Sawamura handed the ball over... and looked at it with some cuteness.

"and many more!

Are you serious? This is before the game!

Sawamura's pitching is not bad, but if he learns a strange change of pitch and his rhythm is completely broken, I will be very troubled!

There is also immortality! Why are you like this? "Miyuki still can't understand.

"enough!

King Valley’s game! Maybe the strength of Eijun and Kawakami-senpai can survive the nine rounds, but what happens after that?

Our current goal is to win consecutive regional championships!

It’s Koshien!

Learning to change the ball at this time, whether successful or not, may affect Wang Gu's game, but the semi-finals and finals one week apart will not be affected.

This is also an opportunity! ! "

"But!! Wang Gu is also a powerful enemy!"

"That's right! But compared to opponents like Pharmacist and City University's senior high school students in the finals, they are not that strong!

If Wang Gu loses the game, it means we are only at this level! !

And I've already said it, this guy is a fool!

But this guy's pitching relies heavily on momentum and state. It's easy to adjust. If you lose points in the middle, I'll get them back! ! "Xian Dao showed a tough look.

"In other words, this guy is ready to take full responsibility... Well!" Miyuki thought to himself when he saw Xiandao's firm eyes.

"I see! But..."

"I understand what you said very well!

It seems that I really can’t be trusted!

I know what kind of change ball is best for the current situation.

Change-up pitches may be suitable or inappropriate depending on the pitcher.

Moreover, the feeling on the fingertips also varies from person to person and cannot be learned by teaching!

I know this very well!

However, just because it is before the big competition, it would be better to have one more weapon, right? "After speaking, coach Ochiai glanced at Sawamura secretly.

"You are already a high school student, but you can only play one straight ball. You can see how stupid he is at first glance."

Hearing Coach Ochiai's words, Sawamura seemed to be struck by lightning.
