Chapter 31： : A straight ball that can fly by itself

"Ping!"

The white ball was hit high and flew out.

"It's cool!"

Sawamura loudly reminded his friends to be on guard.

Feng Liang Zhengtai found a spot early, spread out his gloves, and waited for the baseball to fall.

During this time, the little friends of Akagi Middle School did almost nothing else, so they concentrated on practicing picking up Gao Fei.

Although the intensive training time is not long, but the results are not bad. You have picked up Gao Fei several times today, and so far there has not been a single mistake.

"Snapped!"

"Get out!"

With the batter out, Akagi Middle School completed their sixth inning defense.

In the cowshed of Nagano Metropolitan High School.

The tall and sturdy team members looked at the man on the pitcher's mound with solemn expressions.

The score was 2:0, and Nagano Metropolitan High School was still ahead, but they had no choice but to calm down.

The opponent is very good!

They knew this before, and when they watched it live, they were more certain.

But such a team, they were evenly matched with them.

So far, Nagano Metropolitan Junior High School, which is a powerful offensive player, has only hit two effective hits. Both limited hits came in the first inning, a bunt in the third and a homer in the fourth.

Other than that, none of them hit base.

The upper line and the middle line have been played twice, but there is still no hope of conquering Sawamura.

The most terrifying thing is that until now, they still haven't figured out how a straight ball that looks ordinary can become a high-flying ball after they hit it?

"Have you been played stupid?"

Coach Fengxiang Longyi asked with a sneer.

All the players at Nagano Metropolitan High School turned around and looked at their coaches in confusion.

"Did the opponent really shoot the same straight ball?"

Feng Xianglongyi rested on the lounge chair with his chin in his hand, and asked listlessly: "It is precisely because you are so naive that you cannot defeat Tianlong Temple. That pitcher was right, but his pitching action, Made some minor adjustments."

"Ordinary straight **** have a fixed posture, which is to maximize the pitcher's ball speed. In a standard straight ball, the pitcher's wrists and arms are vertical, and the ball is thrown by the power of the arm swing. The pitcher is not so when he is pitching, his wrist is bent, just like a tennis serve. During the pitching process, the bending of the wrist is used to give the baseball more spin, allowing the ball to have more rotation in the process of flight. Small climbs up. That's why it looks like, with the same straight ball, you're going to fly high. Because you're not hitting the center of the ball at all, you're hitting the bottom of the baseball."

After Fengxiang Longyi finished explaining, the Nagano Metropolitan High School contestants were at a loss.

"All in all, the pitcher named Sawamura should have two types of straights, one with a slight rise, the same as a super-fast straight. The other is an ordinary straight. Do you understand? "

Now it's much easier. The little friends nodded, indicating that they understood.

"Adding that kind of wrist pressure to throw the ball can indeed make the ball spin more during flight and achieve a small increase, but that will affect the speed of the ball? Why does his two straight **** seem to have the same speed of the ball? ?"

Nagano Metropolitan High School was not all simple-minded, well-developed gorillas. At least their ace pitcher, Mari is not. He looked at his coach suspiciously and asked.

Fengxiang Longyi nodded in satisfaction, he liked Mali's attitude very much. But when answering Mari's question, his tone was very blunt: "I'm not him, how do I know? But there are only two situations that come to mind. The first is that he deliberately adjusted the speed of his straight ball before, the purpose is to match him now. This kind of straight ball cooperates with each other. If this is the case, then this pitcher named Sawamura will probably be useless until next year. Another possibility is that this pitcher has a special talent and soft body joints. He can stretch himself freely. Wrist and arm without affecting pitching and control. If so, then we may have to add a strong competitor in the future."

Strong competitor!

This sentence stabbed Marian's self-esteem.

"A baseball game, as long as you don't drop points, you can't lose! I won't let them hit my ball."

So far, Nagano Metropolitan High School has only two hits, but Akagi has not even a single hit. Whether it was the powerful Fengxiang Ouichi, or the veteran Youtiao Sawamura, none of them were able to conquer the defense of Nagano Metropolitan High School.

It's not just the pitcher's problem, it's also the defense of Nagano Metropolis!

Sawamura hit the ball twice, but was perfectly guarded by the fielder. The same is true for Feng Xiang. The ball he hit was slaughtered by Xiaochuan.

Strictly speaking, they didn't lose to the pitcher, although Marian's pitching was really strong.

They lost to the Nagano Metropolitan High School team.

Such a perfect defense is definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight. Nagano Metropolitan players can do this, and there must be hard work and sweat behind it that others can't see.

In the second half of the sixth inning, Akagi Middle School attacked.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"strike out!"

"strike out!!"

"strike out!!!"

Nine balls, three strikeoutsMarian showed unparalleled strong pitching. The game is coming to an end, and his performance like this hardly leaves any hope for the players of Akagi Middle School.

The game ushered in the last round.

In the first half of the seventh inning, Nagano Metropolitan Middle School attacked.

This time, their starter is their third.

"Ping!"

It was the same bunt as in the first game, but this time Yamaguchi picked up the ball, but his speed of picking up the ball and passing the ball were too slow. And Nagano Metropolitan's third bunt is superb and fast.

He was a full half a second faster than the return pass and stepped on the base bag.

"Safety!"

No one is out, there is someone at first base!

In the cowshed of Nagano Metropolitan High School.

Fengxiang Longyi contemptuously looked at Akagi's little friend who was struggling **** the court.

Because they were affected by the pitcher's specious straight ball, they all ignored it. Akagi is actually a bad team, and they have many loopholes.

For example, although their high fly **** are handled well, they are not at all good at grounding.

You can kill them with bunts.

"Fourth, catcher, Saburo Tsuchhara."

When there was someone on the first base, it was Saburo Tsuchihara's turn.

This situation is even more dangerous than the first game.

Fengxiang Ouichi and Sawamura Eijun's faces were not relaxed, so they had to be more careful in the next game.

"Whoosh!"

Sawamura threw the ball, and the baseball shot at Fengxiang's glove like a laser beam.

There was a fierce light in Saburo Tsuchhara's eyes, and the bat in his hand roared out.
