Chapter 153 5 Giant Motor Battle 12
Ono is indeed a little tired. Although he has only thrown 95 balls so far, the number of forkballs accounts for a full 95 of these 60 balls.Even an endurance maniac like Ono is a little overwhelmed. Fingerball is very painful on the fingers, so a small amount of throwing is fine.
And Ono not only uses it extensively, but also throws it with all his strength, so that the thrown finger ball will spin more and fall faster.Otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress Daoshi's line play.
So far, Ono has been able to feel the pain from his fingers.
Supervisor Onizuka called all the pitchers together for a meeting. Naturally, it was impossible to forget Renji, so Renji knew that Supervisor Onizuka planned to replace Ono after this half-inning.
This made Lianji prepare to squeeze Ono in the end. After Ono's ball count reached 70 balls, Lianji's distribution of finger balls was not so frequent. Finger balls were often used as the decisive ball, but the effect was not very obvious. , which led to a large increase in the number of balls used by Ono in the fifth game.
You can rest after finishing the two hitters, so let's take them out quickly!
Without hesitation, Renji gave the instruction to cross the ball on the first ball.
Ono hesitated for a moment, then nodded. In fact, he doesn't really want to throw the fingerball now. The tingling from his fingertips is so real. If it was changed to when he first entered school, he might not care, because at that time He is used to it.
But the experience of the past three years, coupled with Dr. Yongshang's repeated warnings, made him really a little scared. He will graduate soon. Do he really want to take care of his future at this time?
Ono asked himself in his heart, but nodded his head, it was too late to shake his head now.
Forget it, this is the last time, next time, he will definitely shake his head, he still wants to keep going, he doesn't want to be another pitcher who is completely burned in Koshien, even if this is the highest stage of Koshien!
The pitcher in the glove just dunked the baseball. After standing still for 3 seconds, Ono stepped forward decisively, ready to throw the baseball, but just when he was about to release the ball, a kind of needle prick The pain came from his index finger clutching the ball.
Ono subconsciously withdrew his strength, but the ball was finally released.
As soon as the ball flew out, Ono knew it was bad.I saw that the speed of the baseball being thrown dropped significantly, and the ball's spin was so slow that it could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
Lian Si, who was squatting behind the home plate, stared wide-eyed, not only Lian Si, but also Fan Shengmei was extremely puzzled, did you just look down on him like that?Dare to throw such a sweet ball? !
A kind of anger spewed out from Fan Shengmei's chest, and he swung the bat quickly, hitting this fingering ball that was not only slow, but also did not change much.
"Hit! The ball was hit between the first and second bases! The second baseman dived! He didn't stop it! It went through!"
Right fielder Tokuma quickly made up to stop the baseball, but at this time Fan Shengmei was not far from reaching first base, so he threw the ball to Yoshibe who was climbing up quickly.
Off the field, Supervisor Onizuka's face turned black. At this time, put the batter on base, or is he one of Inashi's worst hitters? !You must know that Fan Shengmei's batting average of the entire Koshien is 0.08! Only 12 hit in [-] bats!You let such a weak hitter hit base? !
Director Onitsuka immediately chose to replace Ono. The current Ono's ability is no longer enough to deal with Inami's top laner who is likely to play!
"come on."
On the pitcher's mound, Ono handed the ball to Yano who was replaced without any hesitation.At the beginning of the game, he was really confused, thinking that he could finish the game and become the biggest winner of this Koshien, but now Ono has realized that maybe he is really not suitable to be an ace.
Among the aces of the teams in Koshien, which of them did not use more than 110 balls? 160!If this was changed to three years ago, he would definitely be able to do it, but now he is no longer what he used to be, he is afraid, he does not want to burn on Jiashiyuan, Jiaziyuan is no longer his dream.
After that guy Kiryu surpassed him and got the ace number.
In the process of ending the game, Ono's previous memories emerged in his mind.
Kiryu and Yano both came from Akahira City, and both of them came from a very famous Hokkaido Little League Kitaga Minor League at that time.It's just that both of them are relay players in the team, and they still are until the third grade is about to graduate. Otherwise, Supervisor Onitsuka would not be able to pack Kiryu and Yano together.
You must know that at that time, Jumo was still a small team with a baseball club that had just been established for 3 years.It is impossible for the ace of the Beiyong Little League to take a fancy to Jumo.
So from the very beginning, Supervisor Onizuka went to Beiyong's backup pitcher. A well-known big and small baseball player like Beiyong, even a backup reliever, is better than the aces of those small teams and pitchers who hit soft balls. Be strong.
After all, the resources are there. Beiyong's coaches are poached from professional baseball. In terms of professionalism, it is obviously not comparable to those small teams and middle school teachers.
Supervisor Onitsuka watched Beiyong's practice games for several days, but the reason why he didn't watch the official game was that Beiyong's starters and finishers were always the ace pitchers who clearly rejected his invitation.
After watching the training games for several days, Supervisor Onitsuka fell in love with Yano at a glance. First of all, he is tall and tall. Although the speed of the ball does not seem very fast, Supervisor Onitsuka with sharp eyes can see that Yano is not completely weak at a glance. There is a high probability It's a question of pitching posture.
As long as you teach it well, the speed of the ball will definitely soar by then, and the most important thing is that Yano will control the ball!In Little League and middle school, there were not too few pitchers who could handle the ball.Everyone will only keep pursuing the speed of the ball, as long as the ball can be thrown into the strike zone.
What possessions are you after!
Compared with Yano, Kiryu is a little transparent. He can't even shoot the ball, let alone control the ball, so he basically has no chance to play. Supervisor Onitsuka saw Kiryu in the last game of inspecting Yano.
In that game, Kita Yong gave Kiryu the money after leading by a big score, but the poor little guy who hadn't played a few official games before entering high school was sent on the field.
Kiryu, who was suddenly sent on stage, did not shine brightly and become the most beautiful boy in the audience like many protagonists of Xiaobaiwen.On the contrary, Kiryu, who just played, has three points of cowardice, two points of fear, four points of confusion, and one point of desire to express.
Under the comfort of the catcher, Kiryu calmed down.
Seeing Kiryu's virtue, Director Onitsuka was planning to leave immediately. After all, he had watched everything he needed to see, and he had to go back to school to deal with those bastards. Few of them could be of great use, so they continued to stay and watch the game.
The ball Kiryu threw was weak, hitting the pass line of the pitcher at 100km/h, and the pitching posture was even more unsightly. Obviously, the retired professional baseball coach Kitinaga was not very happy to spend time on these untalented players. On the little pitcher.
If it is said that Yano can't exert some strength, then Kiryu just doesn't use any strength at all. The stride is not to gain more strength for the arm, but just because everyone strides, so I also stride.
Kiryu was quickly defeated like this.
Originally Supervisor Onizuka thought that Kiryu would definitely cry when he played, but what Supervisor Onitsuka did not expect was that Kiryu persisted, even though he was scored 5 points in two and a half rounds.Every out was taken with such conviction that even the catchers and fielders were unwilling to continue working, but Kiryu just continued to persevere.
This insistence made Director Onitsuka a little interested. He was not afraid of poor players, but he was afraid that the players would not fight. After all, not all players can "survive" in his training.
In the three years he has been teaching Jumo, Jumo has retired a full 3 people early, which is equivalent to four-fifths of the team for a small baseball club that has just been established. Withdrew, the rest of the people just made up a team.
So Supervisor Onitsuka was going to take this little guy away with him when he invited Yano, but this did not mean that Supervisor Onitsuka was optimistic about Kiryu, he was just a little interested to see if he could last a few years under his command.
The main reason for not being optimistic is that Kiryu is too short!A child who has been in junior middle school for three years looks like a first or second grader, which is a fatal injury to a pitcher!Basically the one with no future.
Supervisor Onitsuka didn't care much about the basic skills. Anyway, he had to start teaching again, and a blank sheet of paper was easier to teach.
So Ono, Yano, and Kiryu joined the Jumo baseball club in April of the second year.
Ono's first impression of Kiryu was that he was timid, as if he had been bullied by the school.Therefore, among all the players who entered the school at the same time, Ono believed that he had only one competitor, and that was Yano, a Little League player who could handle the ball initially and had decent ball speed.
Compared with Ono, who plays soft balls, wins at the starting line, Yano obviously wins at the starting line.
There are still several pitchers who are in the same period as Ono and the others. After all, Director Onizuka adheres to the policy of casting a wide net to catch more fish to support pitchers, but the pitchers who are in the same period as them have retired one after another in the first grade.
The training supervised by Onitsuka is really difficult. Not only do they need a lot of training in summer, but even in winter, when the entire stadium is covered with snow, there is also a lot of defensive training and pitching training.
There is no dedicated person to clean the stadium.
In other words, they not only have to get up early in the morning to clear the snow, but also practice on the field that they have cleared.
Soon, a large number of players couldn't bear it, or transferred to other schools, or completely gave up their favorite baseball. When Jumo once again ushered in a new freshman, the number of baseball clubs has been reduced from 90 to 40. Among the remaining 40 people Most of them are good seedlings found by Onitsuka Supervisor.
When he really entered the second grade, Ono was a little surprised to see that Kiryu was still standing next to Yano. After a year of training, Kiryu has changed a lot, not only his temperament has changed, but also he has grown taller.
Although Supervisor Onitsuka was cruel in training, he did a good job in other aspects. Not only did he pester the school board to build a special cafeteria building for the baseball department, but he also got a sum of money for food.
Sometimes he would pay out of his own pocket to help the players in the baseball team eat better food. For players who train hard but have poor family circumstances, they would also help introduce good part-time jobs.
Kiryu was unconsciously fed by Onitsuka Supervisor.To be able to play in a well-known minor baseball team like Beiyong, Kiryu's family cannot be too poor.
But Kiryu is the third son in the family, and he has a younger brother.This made his parents not attach much importance to him, and they received very little love. Most of the time they gave him pocket money and let him decide by himself.
And because Kiryu chose to play baseball, he often ate outside, and the lunch boxes prepared by his parents were never full. This resulted in Kiryu's failure to develop.
After entering Jumo, although the training is very tough, the nutritional intake is also very balanced, coupled with the long-term training.So Kiryu not only grew taller, but also became stronger.
And along with these two, there is naturally the speed of the ball. There are not many pitchers in Jumo, so Supervisor Onizuka puts his heart on every pitcher. Everyone's pitching posture is well corrected, including Kiryu. .
Even do special training to develop lower body strength, arm strength and so on.
Under the guidance of Onitsuka, almost everyone's ball speed increased. By the second grade, the pitcher with the lowest ball speed among the pitchers had reached over 130.
Among them, Kiryu has made the most progress. Although everyone's ball speed has increased, it can only increase to ten or twenty at most. Kiryu's jump is a full 30, and his ball speed can already reach 140 by the end of the first grade.
This really surprised and delighted Supervisor Onizuka. Perhaps compared with those talented fastball pitchers, 140 is not a particularly high ball speed.
But you must know that even if you look at the entire Neon, there are no more than 20 fastball pitchers. Most of the giants' aces have a ball speed between 140-150, and some dishes are only around 130.
However, Yano's ball speed is not slow. Kiryu can only occasionally hit 140, while Yano has stabilized.
This time Ono became the weakest one. Ono also tried, throwing the ball with all his strength every time, hoping that the ball speed would be faster, but what made him desperate was that not only did his ball speed not increase, but instead slowed down.
Just when Ono was at a loss, Supervisor Onizuka took the initiative to find Ono.
"Not everyone has the talent to shoot high-speed balls. Most people's talents can only reach a certain position. Your current ball speed has far surpassed a lot of pitchers. Even on the field of Koshien, There are also aces whose ball speed is not as fast as yours."
Ono didn't believe it at the time. If the ball wasn't fast enough, he would be easily thrown out by the batter. How could such a pitcher become the trump card of a team that could make it to Koshien.
After that, Supervisor Onitsuka started to play the video without saying a word. It was the video recorded by Supervisor Onitsuka when he was a running errand assistant in his early years to search for information.
The pitcher in the video has just reached the highest ball speed of 127, but it is such a pitcher that not only makes the hitter not only hit badly, but also wins strikeouts frequently. To use, no disadvantages.
"Do you still remember the crossball you threw when you were in middle school? Although it was bad, it did look like a crossball. Why do you want to practice changing the ball?"
"Because I feel handsome."
Ono remembered that he answered like this, and then Supervisor Onizuka burst out laughing.
"Since the path of ball speed is not feasible, why not try another path, one that you are more familiar with. The reason why I chose you is because I saw that young man on the stage who knew that he would lose but was still struggling to throw garbage changing balls." Ah! Don't let me down, show me that side again, Ono!"
From that day on, Ono picked up the finger ball that he had thrown away and started practicing again.
