Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 569 Display and opening

When everyone arrived at the stadium, they found that the two people from Miyuki Sawamura had been practicing for who knows how long.

"Miyuki!

Did you take the wrong medicine today? "The front gardener opened his mouth and said.

"what?"

"But!

You actually came so early..."

"That bastard Sawamura went to my dormitory to take off the quilt very early!" Every time he thought of this today, Miyuki felt itchy with hatred.

"That's it...it scared me to death!

This is normal! "

"Hey! What do you mean?" Miyuki complained.

“That’s what it means!

Normally you should be like that..." Kuramochi interrupted, and finally pointed his finger at Sendō, who had just wandered onto the court.

"You arrive just before practice starts, that's your style!

I didn't come at the same time as that boy today. What happened yesterday? " Kuramochi couldn't help but smile when he said the last sentence.

"This person really observes carefully!!" Miyuki exclaimed in his heart.

"Don't be scared for a while!" Miyuki said with a smile.

"It seems like something terrible happened last night!

It must be related to Sawamura!

I was in a good mood when I came back last night.

Seeing you today gives me a little idea! "

"You'll find out soon! We need to keep it a secret now!" Miyuki said with a smile.

"That's really what I'm looking forward to!" Kuramochi looked at Sawamura with "loving" eyes.

It seems that in Qize Village, nothing was said last night...

And looking at Miyuki's appearance, something really terrible happened.

Even if Kuramochi racked his brains, he couldn't have imagined that Sawamura would master the change ball overnight, and there were only two types that could be used.

Generally, a variety of changing balls cannot be mastered in a short time, and it may even take more than a year to completely master an unfamiliar changing ball.

"what?

What happened to Sawamura? "At this time, Maezono had the opportunity to interrupt.

"You'll know in a minute!" Miyuki just said.

"correct!

That guy Sawamura is actually looking for you. Aren't you usually on good terms with Kanemaru, Sendō and the others?

When I first woke up, I found that the person had been gone for who knows how long. Kuramochi asked.

"Kanamaru can't help today. As for Sendao..." Miyuki's expression changed a little when he mentioned Sendao.

In the end, he whispered to them about Xiandao getting angry.

"Nani?

......"

"Hush!!" Maezono was about to yell, but Miyuki covered his mouth.

"Really? Is Xiandao so angry when he wakes up?

That forgetful Sawamura actually..." Kuramochi couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

Now Qingdao is about to appear again, and strange rumors are spreading...

Moreover, it seems to be slightly deviated from the truth...

The result was... Later, someone was sleeping in Xiandao. When he tried to wake him up, he was blocked by others like he was avoiding a bomb...

So much so that it becomes more and more outrageous... For example, the version many years later is,

If you wake up the Immortal from his sleep, he will attack others in a state of unconsciousness... which is to say, kill people in their dreams.

Even the ferocious classmate, Sawamura-senpai, was deeply afraid of him.

Of course, Team Zhe, Miyuki, Sendao, Little Wolf Cub, and the first-year students who were already in Sendao's third year all knew the truth while they were in school.

However, the rumors spread too widely and became something like urban legends. Those who knew the truth could not always refute the rumors, so the rumors were taken seriously.

It wasn't until the fuss got so big that the media asked about Xian Dao that the misunderstanding was solved. However, even though the students of Qing Dao knew the truth, they still regarded the rumor as a kind of popularity.

The warm-up ended quickly, and the next step was morning training.

It must have been a tough practice normally, but practice just started today. Except for the players who were about to participate in the training, the rest of the people who were not very busy gathered in the bullpen.

Especially after Sawamura mastered the new ball path, we were all curious about what kind of ball it would be.

Of course, the audience is not that big, after all, everyone is still very busy.

As for the bullpen, neither Kawakami-senpai nor his catcher Ono-senpai were practicing, and all their eyes were focused on Miyuki and Sawamura.

Xiandao felt like a large-scale show-off scene, although he knew it was just a show to the coach...

"Then! I'm going to vote!!" Sawamura shouted loudly to Miyuki. In fact, he shouted more to Coach Kataoka and other bystanders.

"puff!"

"..."

"Snapped!"

"Change...change ball?!!" Minister Ohta exclaimed.

Although Coach Kataoka was also surprised, he did not lose his composure. At most, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes became slightly larger, which was almost invisible, that's all.

"Nice Ball, the next ball is a high-speed change-up ball!!" Miyuki shouted to Sawamura very cooperatively.

Again, although it is just a display, Xiandao looks like a large-scale show-off scene.

That guy Miyuki only shoots the ball once, just like a child showing off his new toy to his parents.

"Hi!" Sawamura agreed cooperatively.

"High...high speed?!!!" Minister Ota also cooperated very well, exclaiming to "heat up" the atmosphere at the scene.

“That being said, it’s similar to the previous Moving Ball!

It seems easier to shoot by grabbing the ball with five fingers. "Miyuki explained kindly.

"Five-finger grab?!!!"

"Really! This pretender... I'm embarrassed to see it!" Sendao thought to himself as he looked at the cooperation between Miyuki and Minister Ohta.

If anyone knew what he was thinking, they would definitely complain about him.

Because while he was saying sorry, he was looking at the follow-up with excitement...

Isn't this just... that?

Only Coach Kataoka was not affected by these messy conversations and looked at Sawamura's ball wholeheartedly, trying to see if it was really useful.

"Put your weight on your lower body properly and...throw hard!"

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

When they saw the ball deflecting nearly ten centimeters near home plate, it still surprised the group of spectators.

"Just... moved?" Minister Ota said uncertainly.

"Yeah! Yes! This is something like Sawamura's Moving Ball.

All in all, these two types of balls can be immediately used in actual combat.

Although we have tried pitching with other grips, he has not mastered it yet. "

“Anything else?!!!

Not just vertical or horizontal changes, but also vertical changes in one breath...

...Just that Sawamura? ! ! "Minister Ota has never closed his mouth today.

"Yes!

The other ball changes are too exaggerated. Not to mention controlling the ball near the strike zone, it is simply uncontrollable.

Moreover, the range of changes and sharpness make it a challenge for me as a catcher to catch it!

I plan to wait until the offseason to find ways to help Sawamura improve, hoping to increase his control of the ball and reduce the degree of changes.

After all, whether the batter can't swing at it...or the catcher can't catch it, no matter how exaggerated the change of the ball is, it's meaningless. "Miyuki sighed.

"What kind of ball is it!" Minister Ohta continued to be surprised...

"Don't worry about those for now. How useful the current two kinds of balls can be in tomorrow's game depends on the guidance of the catcher...

However, if you are the captain, you should be able to make good use of it, right? "Coach Ochiai said.

"Did Ochiai-san teach him the changeup?" Coach Kataoka spoke for the first time today.

“He himself is aware of his current shortcomings and wants to learn the changeup.

I just gave him a little advice. "Coach Ochiai said while pinching his beard. Then, he took a subtle breath and continued to speak.

"Just changing the way I hold the ball will change it. To be honest, I was very surprised at first!

If he can fully master the changeup, I think the current value of this pitcher will have to be re-evaluated.

But it is still unclear how it will be used in tomorrow's game after just one night's practice.

After all, practice is practice and actual combat is actual combat.

If you want to know whether it can be applied in actual combat right away, you won’t know until you try it. "

"One night?!!!" Minister Ota let out the loudest exclamation today.

To be honest, Coach Ochiai had not said these last words, and Director Ohta would have thought that he had been practicing for a while and had just recently achieved results!

“But aside from the level of pitching right now…

His future, my sense of him was completely subverted yesterday.

This guy is going to be a pretty good pitcher!

Perhaps his talent is superior to that of Jiang Gu, or even comparable to that of Immortal Dao Lord! "Coach Ochiai said the last words in his heart.

Afterwards, Sawamura continued to practice, and the others dispersed after being surprised.

And everyone is looking forward to what the result of tomorrow's game will be.

The game will be memorable for Sawamura's life, his debut with the changing ball! !

October 17, Sunday, Meiji Jingu Second Stadium.

After experiencing the battle of number theory, the remaining teams finally returned to the Jingu Stadium to compete.

Today's first game is Qingdao's game against Tooh Valley.

Just like Onisan said to Sawamura before, a large group of idle third-year students gathered together to watch the game.

"It's true! You actually won again!

How many times has this happened? "

"Did you use up all your bad luck when you drew the lots?"

"Tell the truth, Miyuki!

Are you cheating? "

When Miyuki informed everyone of the results of his previous guessing game, he was greeted with a lot of complaints.

"Hey!!" Miyuki looked at the group of guys in front of him and could only retort helplessly.

"Shall we attack first?

Then score first and let that guy Sawamura shoot easier!

This way you guys can find opportunities to practice shooting new pitches! Yahaha! "I can only say that Kuramochi is truly a brother.

"So be it!

Immortal way!

You guy said the day before yesterday that if Sawamura loses points due to changing balls, it's up to you to fight back, don't forget it!

Then it’s up to you to get started! "Miyuki didn't forget to provoke Immortal Dao.

"Of course, as long as the batter in front gets on base, I will find a way to send him back as much as possible." Xiandao returned with a smile.

"As much as possible is not possible! As much as possible!" Miyuki said with the words.

“There are no certain things in baseball!

Really!

Are you a child? "Xian Dao counterattacked.

"Uh!" Mi Xing really couldn't imitate Gong Ming's style, so he yelled in a rogue manner, saying that high school students are just kids.

Seeing Miyuki's surrender, Sendō stopped talking and adjusted his mentality because he had to start preparing for the game.

……

"Line up!!!"

"Let's go!!!"

"Oh!!!"

"Baseball orangutans!" Hearing the shouts from Qingdao, Watermelon Head couldn't help but complain.

"Hao! Now is not the time to talk about this!

Let's go too! ! ! "

"Oh!!!"

"present!!"

“Please give me some advice!!!”

……

"First half of the first game! Seido High School's attack,

A stick! Shortstop, Kuramochi-kun! "

"Come on!! Kuramochi!!!"

"Fight it out!!!"

"Use your steps to disturb them!!!" As soon as Kuramochi appeared, some third-year seniors immediately became energetic.

"Seniors have been very busy recently!

The shouting was so loud!

Although it feels a bit like...a monkey! Xiandao couldn't help but said.

"Don't complain about your seniors!" Miyuki couldn't help but stop him.

Although Sendō was right, the seniors who were jumping up and down on their seats were indeed...

"Huh? You're here too!

No need to prepare for the exam? " Team Zhe in the stands heard footsteps in the corridor behind him, and turned around to see that it was senior Chris.

"what!

Miyuki and Sendō invited me to come and see Sawamura's pitching... Of course I wanted to come and see it!

And you guys are really free! "Senior Chris said gently.

In addition to Team Zhe and other members of Xia Tian's first army, there were also many people who had been sitting in the stands all summer.

These people, like Senior Chris, need to prepare for the exam seriously!

Even if some people have already started trial training with other teams after being introduced by Coach Kataoka, they can at most get the preferential treatment of reduced points.

All I can say here is that Sawamura’s popularity is entirely due to him...

After all, he was the starter today, and the opponent was not a weak team, so many people came to support him.

The positions that Team Zhe and the others were looking for were all empty.

The main reason is that Qingdao's opponents are still a bit weak and not attractive enough.

Thanks to them, senior Chris can also find a place he likes to watch the game.

The chat ended quickly, and everyone's eyes turned to Kuramochi, who had entered the strike zone.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"The first pitch is a fork ball!" Kuramochi thought to himself as he looked at the ball in the catcher's glove.

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

……

"Ping!"

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

Finally, after struggling with seven balls, a ground ball was hit. Although he sprinted hard, he still failed.

It was the same for Hakushu-senpai after that. It took him six balls to get out.

"hateful!

The first one scored seven goals, the second one scored six goals!

Is it so difficult to get an out number? "Xiguatou thought to himself.

　It’s a new month, and there seems to be some activity.

　　Asking for votes...
