Chapter 120 Chapter 18
There are three kinds of balls for three balls, that is to say, Cheng Gongming's straight ball is completely different from the change ball, and the ball is completely random?
Urawa felt troubled.
For Ming Chenggong on the pitcher's mound, this kind of pitch is not completely random. When he first shot, he also felt that it was random, but after he shot more, he gradually found the feeling.
That is, a slight change in the direction of force will lead to a different ball path, but this change is too subtle, and he has just found this kind of ball feel.But Gu Harada said that Su Qing can control the direction of the ball change.
Cheng Gongming knew that Su Qing must know how to control this feeling of the ball.
However, Cheng Gongming didn't intend to ask Su Qing how to control this ball feeling. He felt that it needed long-term practice and polishing just like ball control.It takes him to shoot enough, and one day he can fully control the feel of the ball.
On the strike zone, Urawa fell into confusion, randomly?How to fight this?For a hitter like him, being able to hit the ball depends entirely on the brain's prediction of the path of the ball. Swing the bat to the predicted position. If the prediction is correct, the ball will be hit. If the prediction is incorrect, or the ball type is not correct, the ball will be hit. If you make a mistake in your judgment, you will not be able to hit it.
Now tell him that the ball path is random and there is no way to predict it. How does this make him play?But now that he has stepped into the strike zone, he has no way out, strike is his only choice!
At the beginning, Urawa must have hit Narimaru's straight ball in accordance with the idea of an ordinary straight ball. Naturally, it ended up being missed without a doubt, but Urawa could feel that he actually touched the baseball just now. He was arrested with a stick.In other words, the change of Narimiya Naruto's straight ball is not that exaggerated, and it is probably within the width of a bat.
On the second ball, Urawa fine-tuned the direction of his swing according to his feeling.But this time he missed the timing of the ball and missed again.
Urawa quickly glanced at the big screen, 150max.
Grass.
Huge cheers and exclamations broke out in the auditorium at this time. There are many pitchers in Koshien who can pitch over 140, but there are really few pitchers who can pitch 150.
But the cheers should not be too harsh for the contestants of the Foreign Academy.
Urawa thought that if the speed of the ball hadn't soared just now, he would definitely be able to hit the ball, but the increase in the speed of the ball made him miss the opportunity directly.
Urawa also had to find a way to further improve his swing speed, or spend part of his thinking time on swinging.
"Buzz~ bang!"
"Strike Out!"
The last time he swung late, this time he swung early. Narimiya Ming's ball speed suddenly dropped to 143 after a big increase, which was slower than his average speed. This caused Urawa to swing early. Like hitting a changeup.
Stay baa! ! !
Urawa got off the field angrily with the bat. The speed of the ball was playing tricks on him. When facing Okishima, Narimiya Naruto's speed was as stable as possible. How could Narimiya lose control when facing him? , one for the highest speed, one for the lowest speed!Is he so unlucky? !
On the mound, Cheng Gongming stuck out his little tongue mischievously.
It was actually a small test just now. Narimiya suddenly felt that the straight ball can also produce the effect of a variable speed ball. With the speed difference and changes, his straight ball system will become even more terrifying!
How to slow down the speed of the ball is a bit difficult. The speed of the ball can be pushed higher, but it is a bit difficult to throw it lower. It's easier to catch than a high-speed ball. Cheng Gongming doesn't want the ball he throws to become a cake ball...
Therefore, the development of this system has a long way to go, but Cheng Gongming is very happy that he has a new direction. He has always relied on straight balls and changing balls to match the pitch...
But I don’t know how to put it. He always felt that he was quite confused. Whether it was a curveball, a slider or a crossball, he felt that it was not the most suitable changeup. direction.
But in the Western Conference Finals, he found that the effect of the changeup was not as good as he had imagined. Of course, this would not make Cheng Gongming give up the changeup completely.But he was indeed a little shaken.
And in today's game, he saw another pitcher with a changeup as his core pitch. Compared with him, Cheng Gongming felt that his investment in the changeup was too conservative.
But is this kind of changeup that uses the change of the ball type and makes the hitter miss the swing really what he wants?
No, no, the change of the changeup is just icing on the cake for himself, and his lifeblood is still the straight ball.It is precisely because of the connection of straight balls that his changeups become so powerful, whether it is a changeup or other changeups, in the final analysis, they are all matched with straight balls.
After realizing this, Narimiya Ming immediately made up his mind to hone his straight ball first, and then throw change balls based on the straight ball.
The seven sticks and eight sticks of the Foreign Academy have no chance to fight back, and the nine sticks have no chance.He went up and swung three times indiscriminately, and the last one actually hit the ball, and it hit the ball.
But he was not prepared at all. Su Qing, who was still on alert, stopped him on the right field lawn and threw to the first baseman to complete the out.
Lu Shangang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, caught the ball, and stepped on the first base bag, blocking out the equally bewildered Yang Xueyuan Nine Batman.
Su Qing was also quite confused at this time, from the time the ball was hit to the time he blocked it, he was the only one moving, and the others were as stupid as they were, outrageous.Su Qing hurriedly asked Harada for a timeout, can this work?This time the hit was between the first and second bases, and he was there, so it was fine. Next time, if he hits the third defense, would he just go through it?
Harada also noticed something was wrong, so even though the half round was over, he still asked the referee for a timeout, and the referee agreed.
This timeout, because the half-inning was over, several outfielders also gathered around.
Su Qing felt as if she already knew what was going on in Shan Ganglu.
This is because they were numb by Cheng Gongming's three strikes, and everyone began to be dazed and distracted.
Su Qing's expression on this is, the subway, the elderly, and the mobile phone.
Cheng Gongming has the potential of a no-hitter in this game. This is something he has never accomplished, but he knows that every no-hitter is inseparable from the support of the defense.
It can even be said that many pitchers have been saved by fielding. Both outfielders and infielders will be very excited after discovering the possibility of a pitcher completing a no-hitter. Su Qing was very excited. His reaction just now was simply amazing. He discovered the possibility of a hit that even the batter himself hadn't expected.
The starting speed is also very impressive. He ran out of the infield defense area very quickly and intercepted the ball on the right field lawn.And why are the other people in Inomi as if they have taken the debuff?
"The possibility of a sudden hit like this is very high, just like just now, when the hitter finds that he can't hit, he will swing wildly. Although the probability of hitting is very low, it is still possible. The nine hits just now The stick was a jackpot. He bit the ball. Fortunately, he was not strong enough, and I reacted promptly, so he didn't wear it out.
In this game, not only can you achieve a complete pitch and block, but you can still pursue a no-hitter. The more this is the case, the more you rely on fielding, because there are more random events on the baseball field. Strong, sometimes unavoidable.
Now is the time when Ming needs us the most, don't you want to leave your name in the history of Jiashien?The first team to complete a no-hitter at Koshien? ! "
Su Qing believes that no high school student has accomplished this achievement. Even in the major leagues where pitchers have strong personal strength and defensive ability, this is a difficult thing to accomplish, let alone high school students. High school students have arm strength, reaction and judgment ability. There is a huge difference.
Dao Shi has not made a few mistakes so far, Su Qing thinks this is simply a miracle.Sure enough, drill a doesn't follow the basic law, and Qingdao's defense is outrageous to death.After all, Director Kataoka is a ruthless man who can send players to the second army with a defensive mistake.
After hearing this, Narimiya wanted to say that he could do it himself, but the temptation of a no-hitter game was indeed too great for him. Maybe he really needed to defend.
The faces of the others also became flushed, but they didn't know whether they were excited, hot, or ashamed.Only they knew how many people were distracted just now.
"If, I said if ha, if my ball is covered by someone like just now, please everyone."
Cheng Gongming said the last sentence very quietly, but everyone still heard it.Many old players find it incredible.This is the first time Cheng Gongming asked the guards.
"Don't worry, we will never let the ball go out of the infield!"
"Never let the ball drop on the ground!"
Infielders and outfielders poured out their support.
"thank you all."
Cheng Gongming unexpectedly became shy.
"You are our trump card. No matter how much we say thank you, we should be the ones thanking you. Thank you for giving us such an opportunity to stay in the history of Koshien."
"Yes, yes, we are the ones to thank you."
After everyone expressed their thanks, Harada set the final tone for the pause.
"The defense is up to everyone. Naruto and I will try our best to keep the ball from being hit, or make the hit ball easier to handle. In any case, completing this no-hitter requires the strength of each of us. work hard together!!"
"Hi!!!"
"let's go!"
At Harada's order, Daoshi's people ran back to the rest area like a gangster.
Back in the rest area, it was impossible for Supervisor Guoyou not to ask what happened, so it was naturally Harada who answered, and Harada tried to explain the situation in a way that didn't hurt everyone.
After Supervising Guoyou listened, he twisted his neck this time.
The sound of snapping made Harada's heart shudder.
"Just do what you want. During the game, you are the real brain on the court."
"Hi!!"
After receiving the supervisor's endorsement, Harada relaxed a lot. In fact, he was now very afraid that Guoyou Supervisor would replace Narimiya Ming without hesitation, and their plan would basically fail.
"Captain, it's time to hit the field."
Unexpectedly, Su Qing was walked to first base. Seeing Harada playing, Su Qing cryptically made a few secret signs.
Harada was puzzled when he saw it, Su Qing was trying to steal a base?
Harada gave Su Qing a puzzled look, at your speed, are you serious about stealing bases?
Su Qing gave him a reassuring look, no matter what, he had to try again, he really couldn't do it all the time as an airman.How to put it, he was also a well-known little prince of stealing bases in high school, and he has only been a pitcher for more than ten years.
His prediction of where the ball would land was all there, but his speed had completely disappeared for no reason. Rather than saying that his speed had disappeared, it was more that he didn't dare to run. His speed on defense was definitely not slow, but when it came to running, When on base, he always slows down involuntarily.
Subconsciously, he is somewhat resistant to fast running. The pitching instinct he has cultivated over the past ten years allows him to instinctively avoid various hidden dangers that may cause him to be injured.
In this era where collisions were still legal, he was even more afraid.He has to find a way to break through himself!
The pitcher in front of him is a good attempt. Although Hirakawa's pop time is unknown, the speed of Sato's changeup is known and very slow.
As long as he can successfully gamble on Sato's changeup ball, he will definitely succeed in stealing a base!
Su Qing slowly took a few steps away from the base bag. It is not possible to reveal his intention to steal bases yet, and he cannot make Ping Chuan vigilant. Only in this way can he match the ball normally.
Su Qing saw the signal from Hirakawa with his excellent eyesight, and then he focused on Sato. Sato glanced at him before pitching, but stopped after he found that he was not far from the base. up.After that, Su Qing began to move slowly.
Although Sato didn't know that Su Qing was going to steal a base, of course he couldn't throw the ball slowly when there was someone on first base. The original pitching posture was simplified and the stride speed was extremely fast, but Su Qing was faster and raised his leg when Sato When he rushed out.
The first baseman yelled for a stolen base, but Sato, who was outwitted by his cleverness, could not stop. He could only increase his hand strength and throw the ball to the edge, creating good passing conditions for Hirakawa.
Su Qing made the right bet this time. Hirakawa played the first ball with a changeup, so even if Sato forced the speed of the penalty at the last moment, the speed of the ball did not reach 120. In addition, Su Qing played super long and did not give Hirakawa Opportunity to pass the ball, a sliding tackle to second base.
Ow! ! ! !
Su Qing himself was so excited, he stole the base!He's not on base air! !
Harada must work hard!He has already stood up and circled, so it is unreasonable not to send him back here.
As long as Harada can send him back to home plate with one stick, he will see which team dares to walk him in the future! !Is there anything he can steal!Just now he used the SC system to see, with such a small distance from the base, it only took him three seconds four to hit second base!
Su Qing was almost moved to tears by himself, his body finally dared to run away~
