Ace of Diamond: The Pitcher Returns

v2 Chapter 34: 3D first experience

Kazuma Akiba, among the core members of the Pharmacist High School, is one of the few with a brain.

When he analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents, he is also righteous. It was as if now, in the face of Mukai Taiyo, who was extremely difficult to mess with, he thought of a way to restrain himself from the very beginning.

The so-called good ball control is nothing more than focusing the ball on the four corners of the strike zone.

The wider the strike zone a pitcher can control, the less likely the corresponding hitter will hit the ball!

In this situation, how should the batter respond?

First of all, of course, you must find the opponent's weakness, and only by finding the opponent's weakness, can you come up with a strategy to attack the opponent.

Among all the star players in Tokyo, Taiyo Mukai has the slowest ball speed. This way you can carefully distinguish the range of the pitch...

But if you really determine the range and then swing the bat, you will fall into the opponent's trap and trap.

Mukai Taiyo's pitch, with mysterious characteristics, always makes it impossible for people to hit the center of the ball.

Although swinging the bat at full strength is a good way to deal with it, the teams that played against Tedong High School before were not fools, they did the same.

But the effect is minimal...

"Since it's useless to simply swing the bat at full strength, you might as well aim for the opponent's pitching corner from the start."

The strategy that Hong Leizang came up with is quite simple and rude. He combined two countermeasures together...

Of course, playing baseball is not just talk on paper. The reason why Hong Leizang was able to come up with such a strategy is because he has sufficient confidence in his disciples.

If nothing else, Akiba, who hit the first bat, was sure to swing the bat with all his strength while aiming at the inner corner!

coming!

Autumn leaves, who were ready, soon waited for the first ball.

When the white ball was thrown, the speed became extremely fast.

The ball speed is faster than expected!

In addition, Mukai Taiyo's pitching posture is also quite awkward. He's not just a left-hander, but a very rare left-hander.

The whole pitching posture, in the Tokyo area is the only one serving of fried scorpion peppers.

When facing him for the first time, although not as terrifying as facing Sawamura Eijun. But it also makes me feel very awkward!

Especially with the angle of his shot now, whether he throws the ball into the inner corner or the outer corner, it gives people a very awkward feeling.

Once he hits the outside corner, you can't even tell the difference between a good shot and a bad shot. When it hits the inside corner, it's like it's about to hit the batter.

Those who can become the top star pitchers in the country, one counts as one, all have their own pitching characteristics. Although the feature of Mukai Taiyo is not top-notch, it also makes people feel very tricky.

Fortunately, Akiba was prepared early and was able to deal with it calmly.

In the face of the incoming corner kick, he did not swing!

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!!!"

Although the small white ball rubbed the strike zone, it did not fully enter the strike zone.

So it's a bad ball.

Gan Xiangang, who was in the position of the catcher, frowned and looked at Kazuma Akiba.

This guy was much more cautious than they thought. Originally, they thought that the players in Medicine High School were all aggressive swinging types.

It doesn't seem quite so now.

In this case!

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Ping!"

"Out!!!"

Outside corners, outside corners, the last ball is outside corners...

Such a resolute choice, as if the arresting partner of Teto High School had completely seen through Akiba Kazuya's intentions.

"This guy!"

Akiba took a deep look at Gan, because the name of Tokyo's little prince Mukai Taiyo was too loud, so everyone unconsciously ignored Gan Xiangang's existence.

But in fact, this guy's skill as a catcher is still amazing.

Once out, no one hits base.

On the stand, the gathering place for the players of Qingdo High School.

"It's all outside corners!"

Kuramochi shook his head with a wry smile.

Tedong High School is now more and more confused about the ball distribution of the pair of shooting partners.

"The reason why the opponent chose to use all the outer corners is because he saw through Akiba and aimed at the inner corners!"

Sawamura Eijun said flatly.

Do Xiangang!

Miyuki also looked at the figure in the catcher's position and nodded with a smile.

This guy is also a formidable enemy.

Originally thought, he is also more daunting to strike strength. Unexpectedly, the catcher is equally impressive.

There are such leaders in Tedong University, so there is no need to worry about not getting good grades.

certainly!

The most important thing is the current East Tokyo area. Although there are many strong teams, there is no one that can pose a real threat to Tedong University...

In contrast, West Tokyo is completely different.

According to the simple probability simulation calculation, the probability of Didong entering the Jiaziyuan this summer is even higher than that of Qingdao.

"Our luck is really..."

After a long while, Miyuki only muttered a word.

With his mentality, he would not say such a thing. But people are better than people, and goods should be thrown away. Compared with the prospects of Didong High School, the environment in which Qingdao High School is located is not much different from hell.

"Only by growing up in such a place can we transform into a true king."

On the contrary, the front garden has a firmer attitude.

Miyuki looked at the front garden with admiration!

Sometimes there are people that you can't even admire without admiration.

When it comes to strength, the current front garden is barely up to the standard of the main force of the first army.

But when it comes to ambition and confidence, he surpasses most players on the Qingdo High School baseball team.

"Ping!"

At this time, the duel on the field had a new change.

The second best in the third year of Pharmacist High School was solved.

Although he scored the ball beautifully, he was completely powerless in the face of the iron wall of Tedong High School.

Banned out.

That is to say, in the blink of an eye, Didong High School has already won two outs.

"Good cast!"

"Let them call!"

"Di Dong! Di Dong!"

"Sun! Sun!!!"

There was a loud cheering sound from the stands.

Star players have not only superb skills, but also a very high popularity. Like Eijun Sawamura, the great demon king, Naomi Naomiya, who has now been promoted to the emperor in Tokyo, is the same.

Compared with those two, Mukai Taiyo is a little worse. But in the Tokyo area, it also has a very high popularity and has many fans.

When they saw Mukai's performance was good, the fans' performance became more and more crazy.

Mishima is the strike zone on the stand under such circumstances.

The other party's momentum is really no trivial matter, making him want to envy it or not.

Mishima's status in Pharmacist High School is very important. He is not only the team's backup pitcher, but also a core player.

Excellent players are arrogant.

This is particularly evident in Mishima.

He has a small notebook in which many names are recorded.

There are two from their team and five from other teams in Tokyo.

Finally, there are four nationwide.

If someone who doesn't know much about baseball looks at these names, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

But anyone who knows a little about high school baseball will not be indifferent to these names.

The first is with two people from the same school in Mishima, that is, two people from Pharmacist High School.

The number one is Thunder City, and the second is Sanada Junpei.

Next up are six from within Tokyo.

They are the ace pitcher of Qingdo High School and Eijun Sawamura, who has the name of the Great Demon King in the whole country.

The ace pitcher of Daocheng Industry, Narutomiya Naruto, who was previously known as the Prince of Tokyo.

The main catcher of Qingdao High School is also Miyuki Kazuya, who is the most popular catcher in the country at this stage.

In the previous one-on-one fight, Tianjiu Guangsheng, the third-high ace of the city who had no temper, had suppressed Mishima.

The last one is the ace pitcher of Teto High School, Taiyo Mukai!

These are the goals Mishima swore to defeat.

That is to make him think that the strength of the baseball master is stronger than him for the time being.

bring it on! bring it on! !

The bat in his hand was raised high, and Mishima's eyes were all grim at this moment.

His Mishima's counterattack has begun, and the first one to be defeated by him is Mukai Taiyo.

Mishima, who made up his mind, stared at Taiyo Mukai on the pitcher's mound without blinking.

It's like a ferocious wild boar, staring at its prey.

"Yeah, it's scary!"

With such an attitude, it is impossible to attract attention~lightnovelpub.net~ Mukai Taiyo on the pitcher's mound clearly noticed, a sneer traced the corner of his mouth, and the white ball in his hand was thrown out without hesitation.

"Whoosh!"

How can a mortal man see the world he sees?

The white ball drew a very nice line and flew into the strike zone.

Therefore, Mishima, who is ready, will of course not let this ball go.

He swung the bat very decisively, aimed at the ball, and hit it hard.

It was just a small white ball that was not scored into the court as he had hoped.

Instead, he pinged the bat and rolled out of bounds.

"The outside world!"

"The outside world!!"

Two consecutive **** were hit out of bounds, and Mishima's momentum was very strong at this time.

Although his previous record was not as sturdy as that of Thunder City, his performance in some key duels was also very dazzling.

It belongs to the kind of player who can perform better when the scene is bigger.

Like right now, he feels like he can hit the ball right away.

At this moment, Mukai Taiyo's third ball came.

The shot that came over was clearly deviating from the strike zone!

This is very consistent with the pitching rules of the pitching partner. After two strikes are ahead, the pitcher will generally use the bad ball to seduce the batter to swing.

"Am I the kind of idiot who gets messed up when chased?"

A sneer appeared on Mishima's face.

Of course he wasn't an idiot like that, and he wouldn't act like an idiot.

So on a shot that was clearly a bad shot, he let it go without swinging.

"Snapped!"

The ball that was missed by Mishima, Ruo saw the gloves of Gan Xiangang.

Then Mishima heard what he thought was very incredible.

"nice shot!"

"strike out!!"
