Chapter 16 World-Class Bunts Vs National-Class Swingballs

"call..."

"If I didn't get [world-class guts], I should have been hesitating just now?"

"Even if the decision to steal bases is finally made..."

"It is estimated that it will fail because of the poor starting timing..."

"have to say!"

"The reward I got on the 8th day is really good!"

Lin Tian patted the dust on his body and muttered in his heart.

"Kawakami is going to pitch!"

Suddenly.

Lin Tian noticed Kawakami's actions.

then.

Get your mind back immediately.

then...

as before...

The moment when Kawakami made a pitching move...

Relying on the reward [world-class response] that I got at the beginning, I ran to the third base as soon as possible!

Tatata!

The extremely fast footsteps sounded again!

The members who occasionally looked at the second base were all surprised!

"He still steals bases?"

"Lin Tian is not afraid of failure, right?"

"This guy is too bold!"

"What a fast speed! It seems to be successful?"

"f**k!!"

"f**k!!"

"He really succeeded!!"

Under everyone's attention.

Once again, Lin Tian stepped on the third base bag before the baseball was caught.

"Safety on base!"

The third base umpire announced the result in surprise.

He had seen a situation where a freshman would steal a base when he first participated in the training of the First Army.

But so far.

He hadn't seen any freshmen succeed.

Every freshman who stole the base was easily blocked by the seniors.

However!

What about Lin Tian?

Not only did he succeed!

And it did it twice!

"no doubt!"

"His guts, reflexes, speed."

"All three have reached the top level in the country, and may even surpass it!"

Off the field, Rei Takashima, deputy head of the baseball department, gave a high evaluation after seeing Lin Tian's performance.

"Although he did really well."

"But is your evaluation too exaggerated?"

Minister Ota asked cautiously.

"It's not an exaggeration at all."

The head coach Kataoka said indifferently: "As far as the performance just now is concerned, it is indeed worthy of Takashima's evaluation."

on the surface.

Kataoka iron heart is calm.

But inside.

But it was full of surprises.

To know.

Most people's energy is limited.

so.

After seeing Lin Tian's high speed straight ball.

After reaching the top level in the country.

He felt.

Lin Tian should have spent all his time practicing straight balls.

therefore.

When the assistant coach schedules ball handling and conditioning drills.

Kataoka didn't think too much, he felt that this arrangement was appropriate.

result...

Today's strike training...  

Lin Tian gave him a big surprise!

Never thought!

Lin Tian with such an excellent straight ball!

Even the courage, reaction and speed have reached the top level in the country!

certainly!

And one more uncertain blow!

Although hitting the ball is very tricky, but after all, there is only one ball, so it can't be used as a reference!

but...

If the next blow is on...

Still doing so well....

So!

Lin Tian's attack power!

It will be several times stronger than you imagined!

"When it's Lin Tian's turn to strike later, pay more attention..."

Head coach Kataoka thought to himself.

...

at the same time.

A batsman in the batter's seat.

After swiping the air twice in a row, he finally hit the ball once.

When Lin Tian saw it.

Baseball being hit.

When flying toward the center of third base and home plate.

Without any hesitation!

Lin Tian kicked the ground and rushed out!

in his estimate!

After the baseball falls to the ground, it will be slowed down by the ground and become a rolling ball!

And the appearance of the rolling earth.

Will extend the time for the third baseman/pitcher to pick up the ball!

so.

Lin Tian, a world-class sprinter, felt he could try to run back to home plate.

certainly.

The success rate of going back may not be 100%.

But it doesn't matter.

This is team training.

If you don't try anything you feel sure about in training, then when it comes to competition, wouldn't you be even more afraid to try it?

Tatata!

When Lin Tian ran fast to home plate.

Kawakami, who had finished pitching, immediately chased after the baseball that fell to the ground and rolled slowly.

But his speed.

Much slower than Lin Tian.

Wait until he hurries to the sideline and picks up the baseball.

Lin Tian was only one-fifth away from home plate.

"Hurry up!"

The catcher squatted and shouted loudly.

Kawakami didn't answer, but he threw the ball at the catcher with maximum force.

call out!

The baseball chased Lin Tian at a very fast speed!

Tatata!

Lin Tian, who was running at extreme speed, heard the whistling sound from behind him!

he knows!

That's the sound of a baseball flying through the air!

"Fight!"

Lin Tian gritted his teeth and accelerated.

He took out the strength of sucking to shake his legs.

From an outsider's point of view.

Lin Tian's legs are about to appear countless afterimages.

"Can it be successful?"

Many people straightened their necks and looked at the position of home plate.

call out!

The fast-running baseball is closing the distance!

but...

Seeing that he is about to catch up with Lin Tian and complete the go-ahead...

Lin Tian's right foot!

Hit the home plate!

Bang!

next second!

The baseball also got into the catcher's glove!

The home plate referee froze for a moment and then announced loudly:

"Safety on base!"

"It's very dangerous, and I was almost killed."

Lin Tian looked at the baseball in the catcher's hands and was very fortunate.

"It can only be said that you ran too fast. If it was someone else, I would definitely kill you."

The third-year catcher said regretfully.

"Contest in the next round."

After Lin Tian finished speaking with a smile, he walked towards the rest area.

"I won't let you get back to home plate so easily!"

The third-year seniors obviously did not admit defeat.

"I am looking forward!"

Lin Tian waved his hand without looking back.

to him.

An opponent who has not lost their fighting spirit will be more interesting to compete.

...

In a blink of an eye.

Five minutes passed.

The second round of strike training begins.

Because Lin Tian drew No. 1 before training.

so.

each round of training.

He was the first to appear.

at the same time.

Head coach Kataoka, Takashima Rei and others who were visiting other places stopped.

"The pitcher this time is Danbo."

"How would you deal with a pitcher who can reach the national level during training?"

The members who participated in the strike training came on the field one by one.

The same goes for the members participating in the garrison training.

Kawakami just now.

I threw at full strength for more than five minutes in a row, my arms were sore and tired, so I needed to rest.

then.

Danbo of the Second Army.

Standing on the pitcher's mound.

"Tanbo's best ball is the vertical curve."

"And now it's in-team training, so he can consistently play at a national level."

"Just right!"

"I also want to compete with pitchers at the national level!"

Lin Tian was full of expectations.

Holding the metal rod, he went to the batter's seat.

"bring it on!"

"Let me see a national-level vertical curve!"
