After lunch, Mitani took Sendou to...
Indoor Tennis Court.
The moment Sendou saw Tennis Serving Machine and the tennis court, his eyes were dull and confused.
The first reaction was, are you kidding me?
Then he looked at Coach Mitani with a sack full of question marks in his eyes, as if to say, I need an explanation.
Sendou is not the kind of person who makes random judgments. He will still give the other party a chance to explain when he encounters various things.
"Sendou-kun, the purpose of coming here is to let your eyes get used to telling moving objects to exercise your Dynamic Vision and reflex nerves!
Even if it cannot be significantly improved, it is still a way to maintain talent. You must know that tennis players need faster short-range explosive ability than sprinters, better Dynamic Vision, reflex nerves and judgment ability than top Major League hitters who can handle ball speeds of more than 200 kilometers.
In other words, tennis is a very extreme sport and has a lot of overlap with baseball. In addition to what was said before, tennis requires a short-range burst of speed of 10 meters. Baseball runners also have short-range bursts of less than 30 meters, and tennis requires even more extreme speed. "
"That's it!" After hearing this, Sendou already roughly understood what to do!
"The Pitching Machine here can reach the fastest speed of 200 kilometers per hour, so enjoy it! Don't be scared to the point of peeing!
If we weren't a girls' school, it might be 240 kilometers away! "Coach Mitani said with a smirk.
"Uh!" Sendou was speechless.
However, a 200-kilometer ball is indeed scary, especially seeing it for the first time, so Sendou still adjusts his breathing in advance.
The only good thing is that Pitching Machine has a fixed ball landing point and a fixed path, so there is no need to worry about injury.
"Breathe~! Breathe!" A smile appeared on Sendou's face the moment he exhaled.
"It's very interesting! I'm looking forward to it!"
Soon the exchange between Coach Mitani and Tennis Club ended. Sakura Women's University's Tennis Club was considered a strong team, but the other party didn't have much demand for Pitching Machine, so there was no problem in borrowing one.
"Come in with me!" Coach Mitani came back and brought Sendou into the stadium.
Sendou is looking around the court. He is still very curious about tennis, although his knowledge of tennis is only anime.
While Sendou was looking at him, the players on the tennis court also looked over curiously. They also knew that this cute boy was going to train his reflex nerves and Dynamic Vision here.
"Take it!" Coach Mitani handed him a racket after entering the court!
Sendou tilted his head with a question mark face!
"I borrowed this. If you feel bored, you can try playing tennis! 200 kilometers of tennis!" When he mentioned 200 kilometers, he obviously had bad intentions.
"Uh!" After two days of contact, Sendou was no longer surprised by Coach Mitani's character.
As for fighting? Sendou hasn't seen a 200-kilometer ball with his own eyes and can't make a judgment, so he chooses to remain silent.
Anyway, no one will say anything if I can't beat it. After all, I don't even count as a beginner. If it hits, Sendou is looking forward to Coach Mitani's expression.
Sendou did not make any judgments. After all, the fastest return of serve in men's tennis is 239 kilometers in the world!
A 200-kilometer professional tennis player can still catch the ball from time to time. The problem is the control of the ball when it is returned.
The reflexes required to hit this kind of ball and Dynamic Vision, Sendou are confident that they will not lose to anyone. (Actually, it's super-category)
"Are you ready?" Coach Mitani's voice came over.
Sendou nodded calmly after hearing this.
"It's quite cold!" At this time, a tennis player in the distance said after seeing Sendou's expression.
"So cute!" Then the next second, he and his partner next to him looked at each other and said in unison.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Along with a series of pictures, Pitching Machine sprayed out a high-speed tennis ball. The first sound was the sound of the tennis ball leaving Pitching Machine. The second ball was naturally the sound of the tennis ball landing.
Although he had no intention of taking action, Sendou was still shocked by the ball. He picked up the racket and looked back in surprise.
"So fast! But I can still see it very clearly, no matter from any aspect.
If this kind of ball is just a fixed-point ball served by Pitching Machine, it shouldn't be impossible to hit it, right? " Sendou made such a judgment in his heart, which shows the strength of Sendou's Dynamic Vision.
Coach Mitani was also a little surprised, but not by the speed of the ball, but by the expression of Sendou. He could see it very clearly. The change of Sendou's expression was obviously able to easily capture the entire trajectory of the ball, and his gaze gave people the feeling of following the movement of the ball.
Moreover, the perception of ball speed in the direction of receiving and serving is completely different, and even in the direction of receiving, the closer to the track, the faster the speed of the ball is felt.
"Continue?" Coach Mitani asked this just out of etiquette, because the other party was not affected at all.
"Of course! You're welcome, just keep sending it over!" Sendou took the racket off his shoulder and replied as if he was about to catch the ball.
"Hey! Are you going to try to catch the second ball? Can you see it so clearly with the first ball?" At this time, not only Coach Mitani, but even the people in the room were a little surprised.
The result is!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!" It really hit!
But the ball flew away!
"Really!" I saw the ball being hit back. Although it flew away, it was a 200-kilometer ball!
"What a monster! Isn't this too easy?!
It seems that the purpose of this training is only to make his body adapt and ensure that his Dynamic Vision and reflex nerves do not decline! "Coach Mitani muttered.
Then Sendou started playing various flying balls and had a great time. The people next to him were also very dumbfounded, wondering where Coach Mitani got such a monster.
After playing for a while, Coach Mitani left and let Sendou play by himself. After all, he still had to manage a team, so it was impossible to stay with him for long.
As for Tennis Club, many people watched Sendou, a beginner, playing with great interest. It was very interesting. After all, this kind of behavior that does not seek to fight back well and simply competes with extreme speed is very eye-catching.
However, Sendou left after playing for two hours. He still wanted to go back and see everyone's training results. As a coach, it is not good to be away from work all the time.
And without his presence, everyone can only train attack and defense separately.
The departure of Sendou also made several girls of Tennis Club reluctant to leave. The cold and cute boy, the extreme speed confrontation, is extremely eye-catching and makes people watch it endlessly.
After returning, Sendou resumed his role as Batting Practice Pitcher. In this way, Akashi's training became a practical training. A Shin served as the catcher and the others took turns guarding the infield and being the hitter and runner's attacker. There were also training methods with small numbers of people.
This time the actual combat continued until the end of the training. As everyone's base running skills and various Small Ball Strategy matured, and the ball Sendou pitched was also the kind of ball that the batter could hit, the infield defense was also very busy.
Even compared to games against other teams, the confrontation was much more intense. There were various stolen bases, Hit and Run, base saves, forced runs, infield fielding double plays. In addition, both sides were very aggressive at the request of Sendou, and the confrontation was extremely fierce.
This also made Sendou couldn't help but think that this team can become stronger.
After dinner, there was independent practice. Everyone took turns to hit with the bat, and those who didn't take their turn used impression practice to swing the bat.
Sawamura It's time to do Explosive Power Menu, which I have been doing for more than 4 years since I was in 4th grade.
The effect it brings is that the full ball speed can now reach 130 kilometers. (Soft balls are lighter than hard balls, so the ball speed is faster.)
Sendou continued to practice swinging alone. After two days of practice, the feeling of discomfort has been greatly eliminated, and the power is much smoother.
And the third day came quickly.
Sendou, who came to Sakura Women's University, was already familiar with it. He quarreled with Ozawa as usual, and then entered the cage!
Sendou felt that he and Ozawa had something to talk about, probably because Ozawa was not much younger than Sendou in his previous life, so the two of them once let Coach Mitani tease him about having an adulterous relationship. The two of them unexpectedly clicked together and ignored him, which made the coach very embarrassed.
However, the private relationship is a private relationship, and it will be different once on the court. Sendou remembers the reason why he was not in a smooth mood these two days.
You make me feel unhappy. How could I not do something when I have the chance?
The same goes for Ozawa. She had the memory of being beaten to death last year and she knew very well that in a few days she might continue to be beaten with blood and it would last for a long time this time. Of course, her mood couldn't be beautiful, so as soon as they stepped on the court, sparks flew between them.
As the smell of gunpowder escalated, Coach Mitani was too embarrassed to say anything teasing the relationship between the two, and the atmosphere began to become tense.
"Are you ready?" Coach Mitani, who was squatting at home plate, raised his head and asked the boy Spiky Hair in front of him.
"Any time!"
"Okay!" He agreed, and Coach Mitani started playing with the ball.
This kind of continuous duel is also a headache for the catcher. It is difficult to decide the matching combination, especially for a strong hitter like Sendou.
Fortunately, Ozawa's ball control is good enough and Changeup is stable enough, otherwise Coach Mitani probably wouldn't want to play.
Coach Mitani's first Signals is still a trial.
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!" This ball was a bad ball from the inside corner. Sendou even ducked back, which shows how wide the ball was.
"Very good, this will give him the illusion that Batter's Box is expanding! Probably!" Coach Mitani thought.
As for that idea, it's very helpless. You can really do whatever you want with your talent. Coach Mitani doesn't know if Sendou, who has such an excellent sense of space, will really be effective with the ball, but the ball must go to the corners, otherwise it will cost him his life!
Ozawa's biggest weapon against Sendou is the sinker, which has terrible horizontal changes and some vertical changes.
This kind of ball has become more and more powerful after two days of training. High-intensity confrontation is the easiest way for people to evolve. When facing Sendou, sometimes several shots of this kind of ball are required to disrupt Sendou's state. Otherwise, Ozawa will not be able to persist. Of course, a large number of shots will make the greatest progress.
This is also the reason why players who have gone through Koshien have been greatly impacted and changed.
"The second ball, throw it here!"
"Ping!"
"Foul ball!" Coach Mitani said seriously.
Attacking the inside corner, Slider, who slid from Strike Zone to the bad ball zone, was hit and almost fell into the field, which made Coach Mitani serious.
This change was not seen yesterday. Most of Sendou's hits in the past two days were straight shots that deviated quite a bit from Strike Zone.
"But one goal can't explain anything!" Coach Mitani secretly warned himself.
This did not prevent him from being more vigilant, and he became more cautious in matching the ball.
However, Coach Mitani's caution later proved to be unfounded. Although Sendou's landing point of Changeup today was not as good as that of the first Slider, it was also a fact that it was getting closer and closer to the boundary.
This also made Coach Mitani realize that with Ozawa's pitching, there are only a few days left to suppress Sendou.
Although I know it is a matter of time, it is still frightening when there are signs that this day is coming.
However, the result of this day's battle was still gratifying. The hits produced by Long Hit and the infield Ground Ball were basically the same, and even the number of outs was more than what they got yesterday.
Strictly speaking, it should be gratifying, if not for the last one Home Run!
(Because it is in a cage, the balls here, Long Hit Home Run, are all judged by height and power position. I think this is not difficult for people who have been dealing with baseball all year round.)
So Ozawa, who originally suppressed Sendou's surprise, was no longer in a good mood.
Even if Sendou himself admits that Home Run was lucky.
This sentence instead made Ozawa use one of the girls' secret skills on him, the death glare.
The big eyes stared straight at her, so wide that Sendou almost ran away and did not dare to look into her eyes.
But after the little episode, Sendou's life was still the same as yesterday, going to Tennis Club, then going back to do offensive and defensive training, and continuing with Meditation Swing in the evening!
What Sendou didn't know was that Coach Nakanishi received a call from an old friend that afternoon, hoping that Coach Nakanishi could recommend some potential players.
Coach Nakanishi accidentally talked about Sendou.
"That kid is determined to be the strongest, but you can't convince him!"
"Really? Is it really as good as you say? Then I have to see it with my own eyes and try it! Is there any video material?"
"Yes, but there is not much information about him. After all, Sendou only studied with me for a month in the fourth grade of elementary school. It was not until last year that he entered Baseball Club in a junior high school in Nagano and was still a coach. It was only recently that he started playing baseball again!" Coach Nakanishi briefly introduced Sendou's situation.
"Oh? When was your video data from?"
"You should know Mitani from Sakura Women's University the day before yesterday, right?"
"Yeah! I heard that they have been a dominant team in recent years! But they are a girls' school, right?"
"Recently, Sendou is doing one-on-one practice with their ace. To make it more difficult, he uses Wooden Bat. I have videos of him using Wooden Bat on the first and second days here!"
"I see! Then I'm going to take a look!"
There's still one day left! Guess who he is. You can guess a few more people.
Asking for votes.
Now I have a splitting headache. Good night everyone.
