"Nice..." Yui Kaoru was sweating coldly as he partnered with Shimizu Osamu again. He was almost used to being used as a tennis net. As soon as the compliment came out, he quickly stopped it, "Sorry, I wasn't careful."
This is the pitcher's request, "You don't have to brag against your will every time. We agree on what pitch to throw. I throw it and you catch it. It's that simple." So in Bullpen, they are the quietest ones.
The two of them had just discussed how to adapt to the straight ball, so Yui just had to put his gloves in place, wait for the ball to come, and then pass it back.
'This person is not so much arrogant as he doesn't want to communicate with others, although he is also very arrogant. ' Qingshui rarely eats on campus and disappears every meal time. Everyone only had questions on the first day, and then they became accustomed to it.
Gradually, the money-filled self-introduction at the beginning of school was almost forgotten.
"Eh? Who is Shimizu?" Yui asked an acquaintance from Class B.
"Oh, that scientist's son. He just stays alone during recess. He doesn't eat with us at noon. I don't know who he is close to. He feels like a transparent person."
In Japanese society, everyone should be afraid of being alone, because such people will be bullied or isolated, but Shimizu Osamu's situation is a bit complicated. "When you said this, I seemed to remember that many girls think he is very cool. He is good at studies and has been abroad. His family must be quite rich."
Of course, the key reason, which this class B classmate will not say, is that compared to others, Shimizu Osamu is taller and a little handsome. Because he refuses to socialize, he also has a cold temperament, which is just right for girls at this stage.
"Ah, that's it." Yui nodded, confirming his thoughts. This man probably encountered something before that caused him to close himself off, but his restless desire for expression in adolescence made him make excessive remarks from time to time.
"Speaking of which, aren't you and him both Baseball Club, why are you asking me?"
The other party's reverse question made Yui a little unable to reconcile himself, so he could only hide it with a laugh.
But privately, he thought to himself, 'Yeah, why do I need to get to know this guy, just because this is the pitcher I work with? Is it my catcher instinct that leads me to learn everything about a pitcher? '
"Pa—" In Bullpen, the pitching practice was still going on. Yui felt that the opponent was thinking about the pitching strategy during the pause, but he couldn't ask, 'The time has not come yet. '
"Pa--" Another ball, this time with much greater force, but the accuracy is not much different, and the speed should be Shimizu Osamu's fastest. 'Is it possible that he wants to speed up? '
As we all know, it is difficult to have both speed and accuracy. It seems that Shimizu Osamu has a big goal.
"Bang -" Yui received it again, but now he was no longer so depressed. The pitcher's pitch would not lie. He could communicate with the pitcher who had sealed himself from this strength.
'Ah, maybe I have mastered another new skill of the catcher, judging the pitcher's condition through pitching or something. '
Compared with the pair of Yui and Shimizu, the pairing of Okumura and Kawakami is much more normal. When they first joined Bullpen, Yui was planning to partner with Kawakami Senior. However, Shimizu Osamu and Okumura looked at each other and gave up on each other tacitly.
"Kawakami Senior, this draw is very sharp!"
Unexpectedly, Okumura, who is cold and cold, is still a pure catcher when he is partnered with him. He is full of praises and other things, just like a pediatrician, and he can grab candies in his pocket.
The noisy Bullpen was still surrounded by a large number of reporters and obs. They soon discovered, "Seido's ace is not here."
"I finished shooting this morning, so I'll take a rest in the afternoon."
"I have a hunch that this time Spring Tournament will be Seido versus Inomi again."
"That's not necessarily true. West Tokyo has Ichidai Third and the pharmacist, East Tokyo and Teito. In short, you can't guess the outcome of the baseball game until it's over."
Kōshū is indeed not in Bullpen. He only pitched 7 innings this morning, and he was a little tired. Thinking back to Chun Jia, the fact that he was able to sustain a complete throw at that intensity was entirely the result of the large supply of adrenaline during the emergency.
"Ah, I found it." Kōshū pressed the pause button, "It starts from here, and the body starts to get tired."
Ochiai Coach's thoughts stopped with the screen. He had just understood everything.
"Compensation. Your body is exhausted and you cannot perform your movements to the extreme, but on a conscious level, you do not accept this decline, so in addition to using the original muscles, you also need additional strength. You can only use muscles that should not exert force instead. This is probably the reason for your knee pain, which will lead to force deformation."
"Hi! Actually, I've been thinking about why my body is more easily injured than others. Based on this experience, I probably use willpower to maintain peak condition every time." As a result, the power chain was invisibly messed up.
"There's no need for this, Kōshū." Ochiai Coach touched his mustache. He didn't quite understand how a simple game could put the ace in such a situation.
"There are many reasons. The opponent's catcher is my senior..." So obviously he can accept his decline in form, but he still has to force himself behind.
"Oh." Ochiai knew the thoughts of these lousy kids so well that he just replied calmly, "Now that you have realized the problem, the next step is very simple. Continue to exercise your physical fitness and reasonably allocate your physical strength during the game. I will discuss this matter with the captain. In the next few days, you can practice basic movements."
"Okay."
Kōshū has always been trusted by the coaching staff, and they know that he is committed to his career and will not do stupid things, so after Ochiai got to know him, he let him go again.
"Hey——" The video of today's game was paused on the computer. He realized a problem. Every time he entered Flow State, entering and maintaining it required too much energy, and his upper limit of physical fitness grew too slowly.
The calories you eat four or five times a day are basically used to train and maintain body function, and the rest is left over...
He has grown another centimeter in the past six months. Last time I checked Bone Density, he was still much worse than his peers. The speed of muscle gain is also not ideal. When running together, the muscles on Eijun's body are very obvious, much thicker than his.
'I don't play basketball, and I don't need to be so tall. Maybe I can take hormones to close the bone seams in advance? ' Then you can focus on gaining weight and muscle.
Another colleague who resigned and I obviously didn't go to the company today, but we still ordered food.
Fortunately I live close
I'll bring it back in the evening and eat it hot tomorrow, and I'll save money on two meals.
