Hayakawa was sweating on the opposite side, 'Narumiya Didn't it take a little long to dig the soil today? '
After all, Central Batting Lineup is about to meet Seido. Hayakawa, who has just been paired with Narumiya Mei for two months, is still in a weak position in the relationship between surrender and capture.
"Narumiya, next is Third, Fourth, and Fifth Batters." Avoiding Narumiya Mei's pinching hand, Hayakawa put his glove on his mouth and took another step closer. He said softly, "I'm sorry to say this to other pitchers, but as soon as Narumiya you stand on Pitcher's Mound, as a catcher, I feel a lot more at ease mentally."
"Hmph -" The dark clouds on the pitcher's face dissipated, leaving only a smile, but he immediately stopped his expression and turned to blame the person on the opposite side, "How can you only rely on me? The team's victory depends on the joint efforts of the entire team's pitchers. If you only rely on the ace, it will exhaust me to death!"
"Hi~Hi~" Hayakawa kept nodding to the pitcher who said "adult vocabulary", seemingly being taught, but his mind drifted to other places, "This is the only time to say something nice. I didn't know who it was just now. After being frightened by Kunimoto Manager's eyes, I didn't dare to mention that I was going to play early." '
Hayakawa Just when he thought this, he was attacked on the face. Because he was distracted, he could not avoid the hands pinching his face.
"What the hell are you running for? This is still a competition!"
"I know! Then, let's work together to knock the opponent out!"
Hayakawa raised his glove to touch the pitcher, but after holding it up for three seconds, Narumiya Mei on the other side still had a look on his face.
"Let me believe you." When the catcher could hardly hold on to the smile on his face, the pitcher finally raised his glove and touched it with the opponent.
'Hey, one or two of them are so difficult to deal with. ' Especially since the other party is still a senior, of course he is only one year older, and his mind is not obviously more mature. Instead, he is as childish as a junior.
For such a pitcher, Hayakawa is neither able to offend like Miyuki, nor is he willing to be led by the nose all the time.
Of course, in the end, the way he thought of to attract Narumiya Mei was to show weakness appropriately in interpersonal relationships and to demonstrate strength in terms of ability.
If you only have strength and don't show weakness to Narumiya Mei, the other party will definitely think that the other party is a catcher who doesn't understand the rules, and the result will be no cooperation.
And if you show weakness but don't show your strength appropriately in front of Narumiya Mei, you will be looked down upon by this Heaven's Chosen, and you will still not cooperate.
After all, human beings are all greedy. The last time I persuaded Narumiya to fully vote for Changeup in the game, what he said was reasonable and well-founded. Although it may be a bit offensive, if you don't stand up in such a situation, you will be regarded by the pitcher as having no independent opinion, and will also be regarded as incompetent by the supervisor.
Of course, it is also because Hayakawa, as the eldest son of a family with many children, has failed to balance kindness and power through such years of blood and tears, which resulted in his younger brothers all trying to get on top of him.
"Play ball!"
Important first goal! Not only Hayakawa, but also the players of Inomi who participated in the game in the summer should be more impressed. Just a walk at the beginning directly caused Inomi to lose a point at the beginning, and he never recovered that point after that.
This point hangs on the scoreboard, in the newspaper, and in Narumiya Mei's heart.
'Get out! ' That white ball, as if it was filled with Narumiya Mei's full strength, slammed towards the opponent's inner corner.
The incoming ball was fierce and came straight towards Haruichi's body.
'Inside Corner Ball! ' Judging that the ball would land on Strike Zone, Haruichi chose to throw the bat.
Hitting the first ball, Haruichi quickly covered his previous strategy of waiting for the ball. He had already been hit once, and standing here again, he could clearly feel the defensive momentum of Inami's entire team being improved by the ace coming on.
At this time, it's still a good shot even if you don't hit it. If you hit it, you can still adapt to the rhythm of the bat.
But——
'No! Didn't seize the opportunity! '
Haruichi, who has already swung the bat halfway, quickly adjusts the position of the bat at this time and will touch the lower edge of the baseball.
"Bang -" The sound of the two hitting each other showed that they did not hit the center of the ball, but flew quickly to the ground and outside the line.
"Foul Ball!"
Haruichi controlled his expression to prevent himself from showing a happy expression.
'Hitting the first ball, it's really hard to seize the opportunity. But the effect has been achieved a little bit. '
"Xiao-chun-be careful and the best will come out!"
The batter, who had already hidden his emotions, almost lost his temper when he heard this, 'Idiot, how loud did you shout! '
A little blush appeared on Haruichi's face.
All this fell into the eyes of Hayakawa who was behind Home Plate, 'The sound of the wooden bat is really different. This hitter has always used wooden bats, and he can still have such a high hitting rate. It is really amazing. '
Thinking that there will be at least one round of attacks in the future, and he may face this hitter again, Hayakawa should not expose too many pitches at this time, lest the opponent adapt in advance.
'Let's attack the inner corner firmly! Throw out your momentum, Narumiya! ' Taking advantage of the pitcher's initial momentum, Hayakawa hit Signals.
"Touch——"
"Touch——"
Haruichi, who originally planned to watch a few more goals, did not find another chance. In the blink of an eye, he was already chasing after two good goals.
'Inami's ace, his debut condition is actually very good now, compared to Xia Tian.. '
In the game in the summer, Haruichi was the substitute. Even standing in Dugout, one could feel that Inajitsu Ace was not doing his best.
'So, now you go all out as soon as you appear on stage? '
At this time, White Shadow flashed again, Haruichi's eyes flashed, and the swing action started.
After consecutive high inside angles, the batter's eyes have unconsciously adapted to the height of the ball.
'The inner angle is low! ' In a very extreme position, Haruichi, who was chasing after two good balls, could only swing.
"Bump -" Compared with Metal Bat, it also misses the center of the ball. Metal Bat may take it farther, but Wooden Bat...
"Out!"
Inomichi infield simply dealt with the ball.
"Damn it, is it really your bangs that are blocking your sharp eyes?"
Haruichi, who just ran down, happened to hear these words, "Eijun, stop talking nonsense!"
Everyone nearby didn't pay attention to the noise. They were all paying attention to the next person standing on Batter's Box.
"Miyuki! As the captain, this is the time to show your strength!"
"Miyuki, come on!"
"Captain!"
The sound of cheers coming from everywhere suddenly put more pressure on Miyuki, and of course it also made him secrete more adrenaline.
'Hooray, hooray, the pitcher on the other side is doing violence to me with his eyes! ' He especially wanted to say this to the chief judge, but of course he bowed politely in the end.
'Narumiya, don't look at the catcher on the other side! Look at me, look at me! 'Hayakawa opened his arms. This action is used by other pitchers to comfort him. It is used by the ace to expand the catcher's presence and prevent the pitcher from denying that he didn't see it.
I almost missed perfect attendance, today is another wasteful day
