Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 33: Fly Ball

After listening to what Chris said, Zhou Hui seemed to feel a hint of truth in it.

And Chris actually knows his own strengths!
Excellent dynamic vision and natural strength are indeed the foundation for Zhou Hui to gain a foothold on this baseball field.

Zhou Hui was not surprised at all when someone who knew him pointed out these two advantages of his.

It's just that he and Chris had no previous interactions, and this was their first communication.

All these facts put together can only mean that Chris had the answer in his mind immediately after just watching the ball he had kicked out.

And he naturally pointed out Zhou Hui's technical characteristics.

With just one glance, he almost understood everything about Zhou Hui.

Anyone who can do this is definitely not an ordinary person.

"How did you tell?"

"Is it necessary to read this? It's easy to explain. It's just theoretical common sense. Because compared to high fly balls, flat fly balls are..."

"What I'm asking is how did you figure out my technical characteristics?"

Chris was about to start talking nonstop when he was interrupted by Zhou Hui.

He didn't want to hear whether the fly ball was good or bad, he just wanted to know how Chris could tell his ability at a glance.

There is no way Zhou Hui doesn't know the advantages and disadvantages of the flat flying ball.

He is also a dominant hitter, and the advantages and disadvantages of fly balls and high fly balls have long been ingrained in his mind.

No one else needs to explain to him.

"Is that what you're asking?"

Chris smiled knowingly.

"Actually, I've been following you for a long time. This isn't the first time I've seen you play basketball. How could I not know your technical characteristics?"

This time it was Zhou Hui's turn to be shocked!
There are many people who follow him, but most of them admire, sigh and envy him.

Only Chris was able to really see, feel and analyze.

Zhou Hui didn't know that someone had been paying attention to him for such a long time.

"When I first met you, I didn't expect that you, with your small body, could hit such a long hit. To be honest, when I saw it for the first time, I was more shocked."

Chris also began to feel emotional.

There are many talented young people.

Looking back, last year the fourth batter of Qingdao High School was a heavyweight player like Dongqingguo.

Unexpectedly, this year, Zhou Hui's sudden appearance made him see the light.

"Having said all that, would you like to try the horizontal swing I mentioned? If you can really master it, it might be easier for you to get into the first team."

“Easier?”

Hearing this, Zhou Hui became excited!
He trained so hard at Seidou High School, actively showed himself in front of Coach Kataoka, and sought out various strong pitching seniors to compete with, wasn't it just to be promoted to the first team?

Joining the Chinese Army has been Zhou Hui’s biggest dream since he entered school.

Being promoted to the first team means you can play in official competitions!
He certainly wanted it very much.

"really?"

Zhou Hui was still skeptical.

He didn't know who the person in front of him was, but seeing everyone's respectful attitude towards him, Zhou Hui knew that this person was definitely not simple.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a substitute from the second team to make so many people obey him.

There must be some unknown secret.

"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go ask Sawamura if I have ever lied to him."

Chris pointed at Sawamura.

He knew that Zhou Hui and Sawamura were good friends, and in order to make Zhou Hui trust him more, he directly asked Zhou Hui to ask Sawamura.

Zhou Hui and Chris are not that familiar with each other, so maybe Chris will play some tricks on him.

But it is absolutely impossible for Sawamura.

Chris also grasped Zhou Hui's idea.

"Okay, I believe it."

Zhou Hui didn't have too much doubt and believed Chris's words. Chris didn't seem like a person who would lie.

Besides, even if he deceived himself, what good would it do him?

Neither of them plays in the same position, not to mention that Chris has played very few practices.

There is no such thing as wanting to usurp the throne.

From this point of view, Zhou Hui became more and more convinced that Chris was trying to help him!
"Come on, let me see if your horizontal strike is as terrible as your scoop strike."

As he spoke, Chris stood aside and took out a video recorder to record this scene.

This makes it easier for him to take it back for analysis.

Analyze Zhou Hui's shortcomings in horizontal play.

This is particularly critical.

Zhou Hui is very strong, which means that the ball he hits will be very fast and high. His movements are also very fast.

It cannot be seen with the naked eye.

We can only analyze Zhou Hui's technical movements by slowing down the video recorder.

"Compared to high fly balls, level fly balls are faster and more stable. If you scoop it up too high and it hasn't gone out, it will be easy for the fielder to handle it. If it's a level fly ball, there's no such concern at all. I believe that with your talent, as long as you practice more, you won't have any problem mastering the height to hit a home run."

Chris gave a long speech explaining the advantages of a level fly ball over a high fly ball.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult to deal with the fielder.

Even if the ball is not carried out, it does not fly high, and the fielder does not have time to find the position and will not catch it easily.

Although home runs do not appear very often and are not as cool as home runs, their practicality is absolutely top-notch.

This is why Chris places so much emphasis on a horizontal swing.

After saying that, Chris pushed out a ball serving machine and placed it in front of Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui stood there holding the baseball bat, looking confident.

"Horizontal strike, horizontal strike."

Zhou Hui kept muttering to himself, fearing that he would have to pick up the ball again due to muscle memory.

"Are you ready?"

Chris adjusted the orientation of the ball machine and the basic settings.

"No problem."

"I'm coming."

Press the button! A small white ball flies out of the ball machine!
The speed of the ball was not too fast for Zhou Hui, and he quickly locked on the center of the ball.

"Don't fish it out. Don't fish it out."

Zhou Hui reminded himself.

"coming!"

As the baseball approaches, Zhou Hui's muscles contract, and his upper arm drives his forearm to attack together!
"Qiang!"

It’s typed out!

Flat fly ball!
"Nice!"

Zhou Hui said something foreign excitedly.

Looking at the baseball flying out, Zhou Hui was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

His fly ball has never been his strong point, but now he can finally hit it.

It was just because of his lack of proficiency that this attack did not show his usual level.

With the ball from a general pitching machine, Zhou Hui is almost certain to hit a home run.

Unfortunately, due to height limitations, the baseball was blocked on the guardrail.

"It doesn't matter. The walls during the official competition aren't this high."

Seeing Zhou Hui with a depressed look on his face, Chris immediately comforted him.
