The next day,
"I'm sorry!"
"You're here! Sendou!"
"Little Sano! How's it going? What happened to Practice Match?"
"Both companies, the day after tomorrow, that is Saturday, is Tokumei Academy Middle School! The opponent of Sunday is Nakamoku Middle School!
Tokumei Academy has reached the top 16, which is a team that was eliminated only after reaching the third round. Zhongmu is a standard first-round team!
In addition, there are several companies that will give me news later, and I also told them the arrangements for these two days, which will increase efficiency!
I remember you said Practice Match doesn't care about winning or losing, losing is better! So I ranked the strong teams at the front! Doesn't matter? Sendou? "
"Of course! But Little Sano is so awesome! He was able to invite the top 16 teams! (That's a nice way to put it!)"
"You also defeated a second-round team in Tokyo. Tokyo is also a famous fierce battle area. Even if Soft Baseball is weaker, it will not be weaker than Nagano. When the other party hears this, they will probably think that our two teams are similar!
The list of Autumn Tournament has also been submitted and you will be on the bench as a substitute. The first and second rounds are weekends in two weeks, which means there is still half a month left! "
"Is this what we agreed on from the beginning? I'll leave it all to you Little Sano! But there's still a lot of time left in the competition for half a month!"
"It's fine if you think it's okay!"
"Then I'll go back first!"
"It's hard to take care of that group of people, right?"
"Fortunately, everyone is pretty good except for that idiot Eijun! It's a bit troublesome that Eijun himself is sometimes reliable and sometimes like a complete second-guess! Then I'll be rude first." After saying this, Sendou left Staff Room.
"It seems that we are expected to break through the first round in the fall! If we break through the first round, what if I treat you guys to a barbecue?" Teacher Sano has completely forgotten what Sawamura said about eating barbecue if he wins the game, and the most terrifying thing is that Sawamura will let him honor it!
"Sen-chan! How's it going? Has Little Sano contacted the school?" Everyone gathered around Sports Field when they saw Sendou coming to Sports Field.
"Worried?"
"We played too badly in the summer! I'm afraid no one wants to play against us!"
"You know it! I just want to laugh when I think about it!... Okay! Don't you guys want to have this expression? There are more than 60 schools in the county, and we are not the only ones in the first round! And there won't be many teams Practice Match in the first round, so we don't have to worry about no competition.
Little Sano was able to contact two schools. Although one was in the first round like us, the other was a top 16 team in the summer, even though the top 16 only made it to the third round. "
"Yo west! We don't pick our opponents, just have games to play!" Ono said.
"Well! Now is just the beginning! As long as we play well in the autumn, we will not lack powerful opponents in the future! Come on, everyone!"
"Oh!!!"
"By the way, the Preliminaries of Autumn Tournament Nagano will begin in two weeks!..." After that, Sendou explained what Teacher Sano said, and this point was considered skipped.
"In this case, let's start contacting each other!" Sawamura shouted loudly at this time!
"Oh!!!"
"Wait! Everyone!"
"What's wrong?"
"Since the game is about to begin, hitting is an essential training. Everyone does swinging the bat every day, right?
But you still have to actually play ball, and if the impression is not deepened for a long time, the meditation connection will also be deviated, right?
After all, this is not the kind of situation that someone can easily imagine! "
"But we don't have that condition at all!!!" the person next to him said.
"So be happy! I'm here to be Batting Practice Pitcher for you! But no one has only one chance to play! But no one has at least three goals! As long as there are more than three goals, if they hit the ball or strike out, they will be replaced!" In fact, this is what Sendou held back yesterday. He originally wanted to play for a few days and said that he would let himself pitch for a few more days and be lazy!
"Are you good? Sendou! You seem to have never practiced pitching before! There must be Four Balls! How do you calculate that?" He said this, but it was obvious that Sawamura had a sense of competition, and he was already blind!
"What did you say?" Sendou pinched Sawamura's mouth and started to force it. Sawamura could only apologize in a vague tone.
"Tch! Who do you think I am? How could I not be able to do something that I can do without even having to do it? Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?" Sendou said after letting go!
"Okay, don't waste time by grinding and whining. Let's start quickly! Remember, I will go back after all eight are finished!"
"That! 1...2...3...4... there are 9 of us!" Sawamura checked it out cutely!
"Not counting you! Just go for a run when you have time!"
"Huh? Why?!!!"
"The first one!"
"I'm coming! Kondo is the first to prepare his helmet and go on stage!"
"It's begun!"
"Come on!"
"The inside angle of the first ball is high! You have to swing the bat no matter if you can hit it or not! This is also a practice of swinging! You can count one more time!"
"Hoo!" wave it in the air!
Since everyone lined up to hit, and there was a Ball Net in the catcher's area, no one was squatting to catch it, so there was no such nice snapping sound as before when the ball hit the glove!
"Next goal outside corner Low Ball!"
"Hoo!" Wave it empty again! It's not that Sendou's ball is so fast. It can be said that he deliberately controlled the ball speed to about the second half of 120 kilometers!
But for everyone, this is not a slow ball, and the ball control is more precise and tricky, and the angle is also large.
It's no wonder that Sendou is much taller than them, so it has an oblique angle from top to bottom. In addition, the ball speed is very slow (calculated by the strength of teammate Sendou). Sendou is more convenient to control the ball. The visual difference between the inner and outer corners will make people feel that Strike Zone is too big and difficult to react, so it is normal for this situation to occur.
It can be said that Sendou's pitching, except that there is no Changeup, it is difficult for all Nagano to find a pitcher to match!
"The next ball will continue to the outside corner, but this will be a high ball. I know this ball Ball Trajectory will be easier to hit, so aim!"
"I know! Come on!"
"Ding!" Sure enough, Kondo kept up with Ball Trajectory but failed to hit the outside of the bounds. Since he did not enter the bounds, Sendou had to continue shooting!
"Oops! If I had known this, I would have just said that each person would only shoot three balls!" Sendou thought to himself, but he was just joking with himself to amuse himself.
"Next ball! A high ball from the inside corner. This ball will be tricky!"
This time Kondo didn't reply, but held the bat a little tighter!
"@#&!" An indescribable sound made by a series of leg-raising pitching movements!
"Whoops"
"Phew!"
"Okay, swing away! Next!"
"I'll do it!"
"Damn it! I want to play ball too!" Sawamura muttered while running and looking at everyone!
However, they were destined to be unable to let Sendou shoot many more balls on the first day. In the end, they defeated 8 friends with 25 balls.
"Then, I'm going back! You continue!"
"Yeah! Good job!"
"Yeah!"
I have a bad headache, so I won't talk about the mess, so I'm going to sleep first. By the way, does anyone have a good way to memorize words? I feel that my memory is not very good now. It is so difficult to learn English words by myself from scratch!
