NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 86
Chapter 86
“Did you teach him the four-stitch way to hold the ball?”
Rei Takashima, who was standing next to Chris, asked with a smile.
“Hmm.”
“But that’s the basic grip of a straight ball…”
Chris: “Speaking of which, Sawamura hasn’t thought about the stitching of the ball so far. ”
“Plus soft joints and flexible fingertips.”
“Because the grip is different every time, there will be irregular changes.”
“In that match with the Haisikhan.”
“The straight ball that let the fortune swing empty is estimated to have been thrown by accident.”
“For Sawamura.”
“A straight ball is also a type of displacement ball.”
“Hopefully in the future he will be a pitcher who controls the ball as he wishes.”
Takashima smiled and said, “I can see that you have high expectations for him.” ”
Chris: “He’s really talented. ”
The words did not fall.
I saw Sawamura throw the ball on the border above the net.
To know.
The border is half a meter away from the center point of the net.
This kind of pitching is placed in the game!
Definitely a big bang!
“……”
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Chris’s forehead.
“I’m sorry…”
“I can’t imagine that at all…”
“Please take a long-term view of him…”
Chris said awkwardly.
“Well, I know.”
Rei Takashima smiled.
She personally excavated Sawamura to Qingdao, and naturally knew Sawamura’s talent.
He also knew that Sawamura had never been exposed to professional training before.
So.
For Sawamura.
Rei Takashima has always maintained the mentality of ‘boiled tofu in warm water’.
“Senior Chris, I’m done running!”
At this time, Xianggu Xiao came over breathlessly.
“Then move your shoulders and get ready to pitch.” Chris said.
“Huh?”
Shigaya widened his eyes in surprise: “Can I pitch?” ”
Chris chuckled: “If you pitch now, you won’t be able to exert extra strength.” ”
“I see, let’s just run a little before the race.”
Valley: “!! ”
For running, thrift is the most annoying.
But this is what Senior Chris said, which made him not know how to refuse.
“Okay, let’s go to the bullpen to pitch first.”
Chris interrupted the cranky thoughts of the valley.
“Oh.”
Walk to the cowshed.
Sinking simply warmed up and threw the ball with all his might.
Huh——
Boom —
Looking at the baseball caught by Keisuke Miyauchi, Shimitani Xiao was slightly stunned.
Because.
When I throw this ball, there is a very refreshing feeling.
And!
The flight path of the ball is not as high as imagined!
“Is it because of running…”
Descent recalled Chris’s guidance.
……
July 20.
Fuchu Citizen Stadium.
Summer Tournament Nishi-Tokyo Third Round.
Seido High School vs Murata Higashi High School.
The beginning of the game.
Lin Tian took out a straight ball with a speed of more than 150 per hour and blew up the field.
The audience who came specially for Lin Tian heard this scene and cheered one after another.
And Murata Higashi High School…
Despite being mentally prepared…
But after the third inning, Murata Higashi High School still didn’t hit once!
“Cast beautifully!”
“Keep it up!”
“Hey, hey, hey! Let them fight one, standing in the field is boring! ”
On the way back to the rest area, the seniors praised one after another.
Jun Isashiki even hoped that Lin Tian could let the other party hit a goal.
No way……
As long as Lin Tian appears…
These people are like decorations…
The defensive skills that usually take a lot of time to train have no chance to be used at all…
“Qingdao’s Lin Tian is really powerful!”
“From the first round until now, I haven’t been hit once!”
“Quick! Apply for an interview now! ”
The audience was talking excitedly.
Some magazine reporters hurriedly found someone to apply for the right to interview Lin Tian.
But.
There are also people who are very disdainful.
For example, Mingchuan High School’s ace pitcher Yang Shunchen.
“Hmph…”
“Bored pitcher…”
“I don’t know the rhythm of distribution, just by brute force…”
“The baseball I admire in this country should be a more meticulous, high-level sport!”
In Yang Shunchen’s opinion.
Lin Tian only relied on brute force to throw the method, and he would only soon fall into a situation of lack of physical strength.
At that time.
Want to break his pitch.
It’s as simple as drinking water.
But……
What Yang Shunchen didn’t know was…
Lin Tian never used his full strength once…
And!
Standing in the distant stands, he …
I can only see the situation that after Lin Tian finished throwing the ball, the batter could not hit…
He doesn’t know!
All pitches of Lin Tian!
All flew into the good ball area!
……
On the pitch.
Contempt for Yang Shunchen.
Lin Tian did not know and was not interested.
He at this time!
I want to hit a home run!
“Come on!”
Lin Tian stood in the right strike zone and shouted with a smile.
“It’s him again!”
“Damn, what should I throw?”
The catcher at Murata Higashi High School was a little flustered.
He had watched the matches between Qingdao and Mimenxi, so he had a very sufficient understanding of Lin Tian’s long-term playing ability.
“Or avoid it…”
After thinking for a long time, the catcher gave the pitcher the instruction of ‘4 bad ball protection’.
But the pitcher vetoed it.
Because of the difference between the two sides, it reached 17 points!
With the capabilities of Murata Higashi…
It’s hard to get 8 points before the end of the 5th game…
Since you can’t stop Qingdao from ending the game early, then simply don’t run away!
That’s right!
Murata Higashi’s pitcher wants to face Lin Tian head-on!
“……”
The catcher was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.
“Since you don’t want to escape, then don’t escape!”
Then.
The catcher gave the indication of ‘low ball in the outside corner’.
The pitcher nodded.
Then throw a sliding ball with all your might.
Huh——
“Oh?”
“Don’t you guarantee me this time?”
“Your pitchers are courageous!”
The corners of Lin Tian’s mouth twitched.
The metal rod in his hand waved unceremoniously and vigorously.
While!!!
The next moment, there was a loud hitting sound from home plate!
Then, in the eyes of everyone in Murata Higashi, the baseball rushed to the top of the outfield with a whoosh!
“Ben…”
“Home run…”
The Murata catcher murmured sluggishly.
And the pitcher of Murata Higashi …
The courage that just filled the heart field…
Everything that dissipated in an instant…….
And then……
Endless remorse welled up in my heart…
