Chapter 60: Li Lei's Talent
"Chris, actually?"
Not to mention the second runner-up of the Seido High School baseball team and those people who want to eat melons.
Even the main players on the first team of their team were shocked by Li Lei's performance.
These players looked at each other with doubts and confusion in their eyes.
"Now we're in trouble! I thought he was just a clown, but I didn't expect that his low-shoulder throwing technique actually has a trick..."
Kuramochi gritted his teeth and said.
To be honest, when the players from the Qingdao High School baseball team first saw Li Lei pitching with a submarine pitch,
In their hearts, they felt a bit disdainful.
To be a good pitcher, you need to go through thousands of pitching exercises.
In order to reduce unnecessary twists and turns, in order to allow the pitcher to form a mechanical memory.
Many teams even force their pitchers to use fixed pitching postures.
In this way, the pitcher's ball speed and pitching power can be honed to the maximum.
Li Lei originally used a forward pitching method to throw the ball. He should have spent a lot of time on this pitching method.
In this case, he actually chose to use the submarine throwing method.
Players from the Qingdao High School baseball team can only think of two reasonable explanations.
The other party is either bluffing or trying to please others.
As the saying goes, the world is huge and full of wonders.
Occasionally, there will be some pitchers who obviously don't have very strong abilities, but they like to take the wrong approach.
They like to use unexpected methods to compete with their opponents, and they even brazenly call their style of competition unconstrained.
When Li Lei first started using submarine pitching, all the players on the Seido High School baseball team thought so.
They all agreed that Li Lei was just sensationalizing...
Perhaps in Li Lei's own opinion, he was completely out of his wits.
But for the batters of the Seido High School baseball team, the opponent is simply giving them a gift.
Senior Chris can definitely make him suffer.
However, what the players on the Seido High School baseball team didn't expect was that the clown they thought was a clown actually showed extraordinary pitching.
Even Chris, who they had high hopes for, was struck out by the opponent.
"If even Chris is no match, then wouldn't we..."
Isashiki Jun, who has a mustache, speaks with anger.
Miyukiichi also pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He had a different view than several teammates.
"No! We can't be sure yet. After all, the opponent only threw two submarine pitches. The information we have is too little. Even senior Chris may not be able to hit the ball."
After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to the silent captain beside him.
"What do you think, Yuuki-senpai?"
Yuuki Tetsuya, who was crossing his arms, set his sights on Li Lei who returned to the rest area.
"No, it can't be a coincidence. If it were an ordinary submarine throw, it wouldn't be able to stop Chris. That guy's submarine throw is very strong!"
"Strong?"
The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, after hearing these two words of evaluation, all looked at Li Lei in disbelief.
Li Lei has returned to the rest area to rest, with no expression on his face.
He held a glass of water in his hand, drinking it leisurely as if drinking tea.
"His fingers..."
Yuki Tetsuya didn't finish his words.
In fact, he didn't even need to finish his words, the first team player of Seido High School's baseball team already understood what he meant.
They thought wrong before.
They believe that a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to hone two throwing methods at the same time, and to hone both throwing methods to an extremely outstanding level.
But they overlooked something.
The world is unfair and some people are born with extraordinary talents.
Just like Akatsuki Furuya, the first-year pitcher of their Aomichi High School baseball team.
Who would have thought that this player who had just joined the Seido High School baseball team for two months could actually throw a ball at a speed of more than 150 kilometers?
Even when facing the top teams in the country, he can make the opponent's batters get six hits and six hits.
Although the current Jiang Guxiao still has obvious shortcomings.
But what is undeniable is that his talent is something that others will never be able to catch up with after a lifetime of hard work.
Let alone the players on the Seido High School baseball team, even if there are hundreds of thousands of baseball boys across the country, there are only one or two who can do this in the end.
In many eras, there was no such pitcher.
Akatsuki Furi's talent for ball speed is basically one in 100,000.
For the remaining players, even if they work hard all their lives and forget food and sleep, even if they use all the time they can practice to practice.
In the end, they couldn't hit the ball with a speed of more than 150 kilometers.
This cannot be achieved through hard work.
Like Jiang Guxiao, Li Lei is also gifted.
For others, their energy is limited, and it is not easy to hone a pitch.
Not to mention practicing two throwing methods at the same time.
But Li Lei is different.
His five fingers are extremely sensitive, coupled with a calm mind and extraordinary control.
It may take others one or two years of practice to hone a throwing technique.
Li Lei only needs a month, or even less.
Not only can he practice pitching, but he can also control the speed of the ball and hone his change-up pitches.
Just like those unreasonable academics.
Realizing this, all the players on the Qingdao High School baseball team felt their hearts beat hard.
They have begun to realize that their opponents are not as simple as they imagined.
Chris, who is the catcher of Qingdao Second Army, is of course aware of this.
But he didn't show it.
Even though the remaining Qingdao players were asking him questions, Chris just shook his head and said he didn't see clearly.
1
Of course he saw it clearly, and he saw it clearly.
But he couldn't describe it to the second-place players on the Seido High School baseball team.
Some things are better not known.
Once they understand, they will only feel more desperate.
Chris obviously knew this, so he hid the truth of his discovery from his teammates.
As for the result of the game.
Chris wasn't too worried either.
1
It is obviously unrealistic for them to score points from Li Lei in the short term.
But now the score on the field is 4:2, and the Seido High School baseball team has a two-point advantage.
So for them, whether they can continue to score points is secondary.
The most important thing is to keep their points on the court.
As long as they can maintain the status quo, these two points of advantage will become the key to their victory.
Not to mention Li Lei has been on the field since the second game.
Can he adapt to the rhythm of the game? Can he persist until the end of the game?
