On the third day of the holiday, Kōshū made an appointment with Coach Ninomiya and took the reporter to Kinoshita Little League.
What they want to talk about today is how, as a Chinese, they view National Sport Baseball after coming to Japan, and how they gradually fell in love with this sport.
Of course, it also includes some interviews with Coach Ninomiya, the enlightenment coach.
"Good afternoon!" was the voice of Grandma Gu Yue saying hello in the distance.
"Good afternoon, Grandma Gu Yue." As soon as she heard this voice, Kōshū knew that she was still in good health.
Grandma today wore a turquoise sweater and her hair was combed neatly. "I was shocked when I suddenly heard that reporters were coming. Have you already had reporters come to interview you just one year after you graduated?"
"Ah, um." Kōshū felt very embarrassed for some reason, "It's just that Yuan Jing wants to accumulate materials for Koshien, so it follows many players, and I'm just one of them."
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand. Children are so thin-skinned." Except for the silent photographer carrying a handheld camera, the remaining two adults greeted each other politely and exchanged business cards.
Today's Kinoshita Little League is very quiet when you walk in, with only a few people.
They first walked around in Kinoshita Little League to promote it in disguise, and then went to the side lawn to chat together.
Lang Zhi sat side by side, and after actually getting in front of the camera, this guy became extremely reserved, unable to stretch his shoulders, and his expression did not relax.
The reporter felt this keenly and asked the younger brother the first question.
"Brother-in-law, what was your initial impression of your brother?"
Lang Zhi was stunned for half a minute with a blank face.
"Pfft——"
Several teenagers who were watching laughed out loud, and Lang Zhi's face turned red.
"It's nothing special, just a little annoying."
"Huh? I hate it, why?" He originally wanted to start over, but the reporter quickly caught a piece of information in his brother's words.
"It's nothing, it's gone now." Lang Zhi shut up tightly and stopped talking on this topic.
The reporter turned to Kōshū and asked, "Kōshū, what is your first impression of baseball?"
"The game is extremely long (laughs)"
"I heard that you have been participating in sports in China. Which one are you?"
"Sprinted, but later quit..."
The format after that is more similar to a question and answer.
"What was your original intention in playing baseball in the first place?"
"When did you fall in love with baseball?"
"Who was the one person who was particularly helpful to you in baseball?"
"Do you have a goal to play baseball in the future?"
"What is the current stage goal?"
Kōshū answered one by one.
In fact, before he came, he was a little unsure whether the reporter's purpose could be achieved, such as whether he would become a baseball star, which would directly affect whether their interviews today would be useful.
But after answering these questions, Kōshū felt calm. Since the reporter chose to come, all he could do was cooperate.
"Yoshi, the personal early interview part will be over for now." More than an hour passed, and the experience of Kōshū was basically wiped out.
Next came the conversation between the reporter and Coach Ninomiya. The Kōshū brothers took a few more videos of pitching in the stadium and then withdrew immediately.
'I don't know if this documentary will ever come out. ' It basically depends on whether you have become famous or not.
If it fails halfway, maybe he can ask Mr. Sasaki to download the master tape, which is also a good record of his growth.
"I don't know what I will ask Coach Ninomiya."
"Won't you know when the show airs later?" Lang Zhi finally left the camera, so he felt a lot more relaxed and was still very optimistic here.
Kōshū didn't say anything, just shook his head silently.
The short three-day vacation was filled with all kinds of things. The brothers returned home to simply pack up, have dinner, and then set off back to Seido.
"Brother, brother Lang Zhi, goodbye."
Mr. Sasaki drove, and at the door was Qianxue, who was waving goodbye honestly, and You, who looked very boring.
"See you at Christmas Festival!"
In these few days, the family, which was already a bit unfamiliar, quickly became familiar again.
However, as the car slowly approached Kokubunji City, Kōshū's mind gradually switched to the line of playing-learning.
He still has many problems now.
For example, physical strength issues.
Sato suggested that he do the test of Bone Density, but he has not done it yet.
When he returned to Little League this time, Coach Ninomiya heard that he had been injured twice in a short period of time, so he recommended him to do more yoga and other exercises to enhance flexibility.
For example, after the ball speed increases, how to maintain ball control and how to better integrate various ball types.
And what bothers him the most right now is how to activate that flow-like hitting state with every blow.
"Hey - Winter Training come quickly."
These complex problems can only be solved one by one. Before that, use heavy training tasks to escape thinking.
"Why are you the same as Eijun, Winter Training is so miserable." Lang Zhi said he didn't understand.
"Winter Training After suffering, it will be reflected in the body immediately. There is no more direct positive feedback than this." Kōshū forced his brother's head over, "You guy, Dynamic Vision is obviously better than me, but you don't use your talent at all. You are too thin, you know. It would be better if you grew taller."
Lang Zhi is the one who doesn't want to hear anything about height. When he arrived at First Year of High School in his second year of junior high school, he had grown a total of 10 centimeters, but compared to the animal next to him, it was not noticeable at all.
"We'll see, I can grow to over 175."
"Oh, you are ambitious."
Mr. Sasaki looked in the rearview mirror as he watched two boys playing around without saying anything.
It wasn't until Seido's school gate was approaching and the brothers got off the bus that he called Kōshū from behind.
"Kōshū, your mother and I are ready to sign up for a course on child psychology. That course allows parents and children to go together."
Lang Zhi looked at the two people left and right without knowing why.
"That's great."
"Well, so when you go to school, just concentrate on playing basketball and studying, and don't worry about things at home. We two adults were not particularly competent parents before. We will definitely study hard and be competent parents this time."
"Yes! Thank you very much." Kōshū was quite surprised at their speed of action. I just told them about the children's education a few days ago, and today we already have a solution.
'Are you afraid of affecting our mood at school? '
The two didn't say anything else, and Lang Zhi, who was confused, didn't ask any questions. He could probably guess what was going on, "I don't know if everyone in the team is back. Haruichi told me yesterday that he would be late tonight."
"A lot of people didn't leave."
As the two were talking and walking towards the dormitory, a voice penetrated a distance of dozens of meters and came to the brothers, "Brother, you are finally back! I have a good thing that I have always wanted to show you, woo woo woo!"
You can tell who this voice is as soon as you hear it.
"What a good thing, let me see it first." Lang Zhi and Eijun collided head-on, blocking each other's attack halfway.
Kōshū walked around the two of them and went straight to his room.
"Brother, do you want to know so much?" Eijun's interest turned to Lang Zhi.
"No... I don't really want to know." Seeing that he was about to be entangled, Lang Zhi turned from pulling to pushing and ran away.
As a result, Eijun had been waiting for a long time, but no one who wanted to stop him stopped him.
"Damn it, don't you want to see the new ball type that I, Fire Left-Handed Pitcher, recently developed?"
He was answered by silence.
That night, the first graders who couldn't escape were all dragged to Indoor Training Field to watch Seido Fire Left-Handed Pitcher's powerful Wild Pitch ball.
"Ahem, you all came here despite your busy schedule. I am so moved that I can't help myself. I will use my best pitching to repay you!" As usual, there was another series of speeches.
Kōshū's support leg moved from the left to the right. 'If I don't let this guy show off, I guess he won't be able to rest in peace for a few days. '
Basically everyone came here because of this, "Okay, okay, stop talking so much nonsense."
Instead, Miyuki on the opposite side urged Eijun.
'Um? ' A certain ace raised his eyebrows, feeling something strange about the catcher.
"First there was that straight shot."
Eijun nodded seriously after hearing the instruction. His seriousness made everyone look forward to it, 'Isn't it Four-Seam Fastball? '
Relax your whole body, starting from the top of your head, and every muscle will have no sense of existence.
Take a deep breath and let the waste in your cells flow away with your breath.
In the sight of everyone, Eijun finally moved.
He is not stupid, and he knows that he has attracted everyone here only because of his "popularity". If the vote is wrong, everyone will probably make fun of him even more next time.
He stepped forward with his front foot and firmly grasped the ground. This solid touch was a familiar feeling brought to him by countless trainings.
The rotation of the lower body drives the whole body, and the power is transmitted so smoothly that you can seem to hear the sound of the gears fitting tightly in your ears.
At the end of the entire chain of power transmission are fingers, tightly clasping the sutures.
After the extremely smooth pitching action, Eijun felt the release of his inner emotions. He didn't even look at the ball carefully and yelled, "Yo west!"
At the other end, Miyuki caught the ball steadily.
The scene was quiet for two seconds. Lang Zhi looked around and spoke first, "Isn't this just a straight ball?"
"Well, it seems to be a straight shot."
Then there was Kanemaru who had been behind and came over at some point, "What are you doing, are you letting so many people watch your straight shot?"
Haruichi did not speak, but first looked at Kōshū who was silent next to him.
"The drop is very small." Ace's words made everyone think about it. It is known that the strongest point of the Kōshū straight ball is the speed.
The extremely high speed brings about a very small drop, and even the illusion of drifting up.
Furuya also nodded, "Well, the fall is smaller."
With the guarantee of the two pitchers, Eijun defended himself loudly and aggrievedly, "This is my Superspeed Straight Ball, what I have been studying in the past few days! Wuwuwu."
"Haha, there are others." Miyuki was not too surprised. He himself was very 'discriminated', so he was very used to this situation.
"Any more?"
Now, the people who were just onlookers gathered around.
"Hey, hey, why are you guys gathering around here?" Eijun, who was showing off, started to panic.
"Senior Miyuki says something special, so it's probably really special."
After Kōshū thought about it, he looked at Miyuki and said, 'I didn't expect that this catcher is very reliable. He is actually helping Eijun develop tail power. '
If you want to talk about Eijun's talent, apart from his high body flexibility, it is his unique shot strength.
The result was not as expected by Kōshū. As expected, Eijun threw a lot of balls running around.
Miyuki also sacrificed himself, highlighting the difficulty of catching this kind of ball.
"Miyuki actually missed the call... I really want to check it out."
"Me too... seeing that guy's proud look, I just want to teach him a lesson."
Afterwards, it turned into a 'group fight' Eijun. The first graders stepped aside and looked at each other.
"The ball Eijun can be used."
"Yeah." Kōshū nodded. Unexpectedly, this person has such an energy that will not be defeated. To a certain extent, it is really worthy of admiration.
Today I rearranged the room again and placed the table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
My favorite place in the house is the floor-to-ceiling windows, where you can directly see the scenery outside.
