Facing an enemy who is full of fighting spirit, how should we neutralize his spirit?
Then you need to constantly consume his will, for example, making him think that the opportunity to attack is coming, and attack with all his strength, but in the end he misses.
Then do it twice more, and after several more times, the opponent's confidence will recede like a tide, and then you will attack again.
If we use Kōshū to describe it, it means 'One Breath, One Push will fail again and again'.
Hayakawa quickly recalled the information of this hitter in his mind, "The ace of the Little League era, because he is a pitcher, his arm strength is good, but the overall batting average can only be ranked eighth in Seido." '
So next...
Hirano on Pitcher's Mound glanced at the runner on third base, and as expected, got a reassuring Signals from the catcher.
Kōshū After looking at each other, the pitcher took a slight step forward.
The feeling of having someone on base is very uncomfortable no matter what stage a pitcher reaches. It's like being robbed directly into the house, but you can't stop it. Especially in this disturbed mood, the next batter of the opponent will be extra focused because there is someone on the base, and it is very likely to become the result of a series of batters hitting out.
'Come on, Tojo, your performance is likely to affect the next string of hitters. '
While Tojo was excited, he also felt the attention of the entire venue and the expectations of everyone in Dugout. His mouth suddenly became dry. 'If I can get points at this time. '
He had no time to think about the next scene, because the opposing pitcher had already stepped on the ball and released it.
The white ball came to Tojo in an instant. He felt the absence of reason at that moment, but fortunately, the subconscious mind he had practiced for so long made the decision for him, and he swung the bat in synchrony.
But the arm that had just swung the stick stopped forcibly after regaining its consciousness. He judged that it was a bad ball in the inside corner.
"Bad ball!"
The duel ended in an instant. Tojo stopped swinging and was not happy because all the muscles in his body ached from swinging with all his strength and trying to stop the swing.
Hayakawa received the ball and stood up immediately to observe the runner at third base.
Kōshū took two steps back until he stepped on the base bag, but Lang Zhi, under the glare of Hayakawa, had no intention of retreating at all, and still stood two steps away from the base bag.
Hayakawa has no intention of containing first base. Although Kōshū still seems to be well-behaved and huddled on the third base bag, as long as Inami has the intention to pass the ball to first base, he will immediately rush to steal the base with all his strength.
'It's really troublesome,' Hayakawa knew Kōshū's footwork very well, so he simply passed the ball to the pitcher, and then squatted down behind Home Plate.
Next came the second ball, Hayakawa placed his glove in the outside corner.
'Is it Slider turning into the foul zone in the outside corner again? ' Suddenly, the two Seido players on the field had this idea in their minds.
It's not their fault, but Inashi's catchers always use this trick to trick batters into releasing their bats.
So what ball is it this time?
While thinking, Hirano had already stepped out, and the white ball instantly flew towards the outside corner of the batter.
Tojo took a step forward, but he hesitated in his heart, 'Slider in the outer corner? I remember——'
Amidst this suspicion, the entire opportunity to release the bat was missed. Tojo could only watch as the trajectory of the ball did not change in any way, and it rushed straight to the outside corner.
"Good shot!"
Tojo stared at the catcher's glove along the shadow of the ball twice, and the hesitation just now flashed through his mind, and then he dismissed these messy thoughts on his own, "No, if you think too much, you will be caught and exploited by Inomi." Watch the ball carefully and hit the ball when it comes! '
But when he thought about it like this, the energy he had when he first came on the field dissipated a bit.
Hayakawa squatted behind Home Plate and could clearly feel that the batter's expression had changed less than before, which meant that the batter's mood had stabilized.
So, next ball.
Hirano saw the catcher's glove placed in the reddish inner corner. He hesitated a little, but the catcher's glove was very firm, so the infected pitcher nodded slightly.
At the same time, what Tojo is thinking is, 'Don't let the previous Pitching Strategy affect your thinking, use your own eyes to see more, and feel the pitcher's pitching in your own batting position. '
In other words, it means the batter wants to see two more pitches.
So, under Tojo's careful observation, the next pitch came towards the red center of the strike zone.
'What! ' At this time, it is too late for the batter to step out and strike.
"Good ball!" A good ball that was almost a red hit successfully entered the base under the watchful eye of the batter.
Catcher Inami got the ball and glared at third base. Kōshū, who had taken two steps away, jumped back to third base.
'It's actually Hongzhong?! ' At this moment, Tojo had the illusion of being seen through, 'I seem to have vaguely heard that this catcher and Miyuki are good friends? Sure enough, friends get together because of similarities.. '
Miyuki stood in Dugout, seemingly sensing something, and raised his eyes to look at the figure at home plate.
In the first half of the second inning, with two outs and people on first and third base, Inashi successfully chased the batter with three pitches.
At this time, even Narumiya Mei, who was standing in the left field, had to admit that this first-year catcher was indeed excellent at guiding pitchers.
The catcher's ability, in addition to the hard conditions of second base blocking speed and ball drop frequency, there is also a very virtual evaluation, that is Pitching Strategy ability. But in the case of Pitching Strategy, there is no such thing as the catcher Pitching Strategy formula competition, which can directly judge the abilities of different catchers.
So just like people who play cards, those who are good at playing cards can survive a bad hand, while those who are not good at playing cards can also lose with good hands.
If you want to say who is the person who feels this difference most intuitively, it is Tadano in Inashi Dugout. He had just seen the pitcher's balls being hit one after another, and what he thought in his mind was that the pitcher's pitches were no longer enough to block Seido's line of play, and Narumiya Mei had to be allowed to play in advance.
Fortunately, Tadano didn't say these words. Now he is watching Hayakawa lead the situation to Inashi's side step by step, and he has another entanglement in his heart. 'Blow, plus Pitching Strategy, and the ability to catch the ball. I can't guarantee 100% to catch Changeup of Narumiya. '
No matter how complicated the thoughts of the people around are, the duel at home plate is as quick as lightning to determine the winner.
The third ball, a Slider that turned to the outside corner, deceived Tojo into missing the swing.
'It turned out to be true this time. I thought they would be anxious to get a good score! ' In comparison, Tojo's desire to excel was stronger.
"Three out! Change sides!"
There was a commotion in the venue.
"Hey, hey, hey. I just went out to buy a bottle of drinks, why did Seido end up?"
"What a pity!"
"Seido almost scored."
Oh my gosh, if you want to read novels on the weekend, you'll be completely wasted for two days and you won't be able to do anything.
I haven't finished the PPT on Monday morning. I have another PPT on Wednesday and a project PPT on Friday.
There is no other way but to continue being chased by ddl...
