Chapter 15: Evolution!(1/2)
On the pitcher's mound.
Nakagawa Xin looked at Li Lei with dull eyes, and a sense of superiority emerged spontaneously.
"Want to see my pitch better?"
What kind of calculation does Li Lei have?
Nakagawa Nobu can guess pretty well.
But he himself doesn't care at all.
The talent he has developed since he was pitching in junior high school, coupled with more than two years of hard practice.
His pitching has been tested in actual combat.
Not to mention the opponents they played against in their first official match, they were Mishima and Akiha from the Yakushima High School baseball team, who were both good at hitting.
His performance was also quite weak when faced with his pitching.
After those players stand on the strike zone, won't they watch?
They watched and observed.
But in the end, they were solved one after another.
The only exception is Honglei City.
When the monster swept his ball away, Nakagawa Nobu was also worried.
He had to admit it.
That guy is different, he is indeed a monster.
But Nobu Nakagawa doesn’t think Li Lei is such a monster.
With the speed and strength of Li Lei's swing.
As long as there is no way to aim at the center of the ball, it is impossible for him to convert his pitch into a hit.
"Then give me a good look at it!"
After the baseball was passed back, Nobu Nakagawa took a step forward and waved his arm again.
His strides are very wide and his arm swings are also very wide!
But the strange thing is...
The ball thrown from this posture is not very fast.
Li Lei also used a posture similar to this, but the most important reason why he used that posture was to concentrate and explode his power.
This way he can throw a fast straight ball.
If the opponent throws the ball in such a posture, what is it for, if not for the speed of the ball?
"Whoosh!"
Baseball comes roaring.
Compared with the first time, this time Li Lei was fully mentally prepared and he looked more carefully.
The white baseball does change slightly before it enters the strike zone.
First let me explain something.
It's not that the straight ball doesn't fall, it also falls during the flight.
It's just that because of the strong rotation, the straight ball can overcome gravity to a certain extent, and the fall is not so obvious.
Nobu Nakagawa's pitching looks even weirder.
Compared to a straight ball, it falls less.
There’s barely even a drop!
"It turns so fast!"
Li Lei started his career playing baseball spin, and he quickly saw through the secrets of Nobu Nakagawa's pitching.
The reason why this guy deliberately used that kind of pitching motion was not to concentrate his power in an explosion, but just to increase the spin number of the baseball.
"I see."
Because it spins faster than an ordinary straight ball, it naturally means it is different from an ordinary straight ball.
This principle sounds simple.
It's not that easy if you really want to do it.
This requires players to accurately control the ball, as well as the control of the wrist and arm.
The opponent must have done a lot of practice in private to hone his header to the current level.
Moreover, his kind of pitching should have just been honed not long ago.
otherwise.
Nobu Nakagawa could not remain unknown in the high school baseball world just by relying on this beautiful pitch.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!!"
Li Lei, who was in the strike zone, did not make a shot for two consecutive balls.
He was directly chased by his opponent.
In the dugout of the Yakushima High School baseball team, the players all stared with wide eyes, looking in disbelief.
They were very puzzled.
Li Lei's striking power is obviously not weak, so why hasn't he taken action yet?
Even if he can't get a hit, he can at least knock out the opponent's pitch.
"Could it be that you were really frightened by that kid's pitching?"
Mishima pinched his stomach, frowning and worried.
"Do you think he's as idiotic as you?"
Supervisor Todoroki Leizou was happy to see Li Lei's performance.
From his perspective, Li Lei's fighting style is completely different from those of Todoroki and Mishima.
His stupid son and Mishima relied on hitting their instincts.
Li Lei relies on the combination of strategy and strength in the strike zone.
These are two ways, but that doesn't mean which one is necessarily better.
The key is to find what works for you.
Compared to when he first joined the team, Li Lei's performance in the strike zone was disorganized.
Now Li Lei has found his direction.
As a supervisor, is there anything more satisfying than this?
So even if Li Lei's attack didn't yield any results, Supervisor Todoroki Raizo still thought it was worth it.
Finding the direction but not hitting the ball is a matter of strength.
I couldn't even find the direction.
That's a question of qualifications.
Now it seems that there is no problem with Li Lei's qualifications.
He just needs to follow this path and work hard to improve his strength.
Just when Director Todoroki Raizo was thinking this, Nobu Nakagawa threw his third ball.
Li Lei, who was already being chased by two good balls, could not let the ball pass this time no matter what.
He stared at the flying baseball, calculated the time, and deliberately raised the bat.
"Ping!"
After the white baseball was hit, it bounced out.
The first baseman of the Black Rain High School baseball team rushed over immediately, preparing to catch the ball.
However, the ball missed the sideline.
Fell out of bounds!
The first baseman of the Black Rain High School baseball team caught an empty ball.
"The outside world!"
Li Lei, who had not hit the ball well, glanced at the bat in his hand.
"It's not as easy as I thought."
