Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 215
[Chapter 18 Role Switching]
“Yeshan, you go to Team B… wear your back number, and Team B will be your lead pitcher.” When the entire baseball team started preparing for the internal game according to the main lineup and the main substitute lineup on the baseball field, the coach suddenly stood up. When he got up, he held an aluminum alloy folder in his hand—this kind of extremely durable folder is usually more commonly used in hospitals—and a blue pen, pointing at “Ye Shan Xuan”, and said very seriously.
Lu Xuan looked at the coach, and after looking at each other with A Xiang, he lifted the stick and walked towards the preparation area of Team B.
Team B didn’t have a main pitcher, and the guy who had hit the all-time bench was happy to give up this position and the red vest with the number on his back.
The coach watched the students from all grades enter the stadium gradually and sat sparsely in the stands.
Even though I was asked to stay at the school due to unexpected things like this, it was still fun to organize competitions in the school for everyone to watch.
Baseball seems to be one of the most popular sports in Japan.
When the main team and the second team had changed into their game uniforms and stood in the middle of the field, the coach said, “I just got the news that the principal contacted us for a game with an American high school baseball team, who are American middle school students. The league is very high… Also, there will be a series of practice matches recently. I told everyone in advance that in order to be able to enter Koshien, I have to do something that will prevent others from seeing us in these matches. , For example, I decided that I would not let Axiang lead the pitch before entering the tryouts. The positions of Axiang and Yeshan were swapped, and Yeshan was the main pitcher, while Axiang was the third base and the fourth. Of course, the main team today It’s
still A Xiang’s vote.
… Also, today’s internal game. Peace is a little different, I hope the game will be good.
As for the result, you can discuss it, understand? ”
A Xiang and Lu Xuan looked at each other. ,Laughed.
This coach is also really interesting.
The difference in strike power between A Xiang and Lu Xuan is not too big, but in general, at least now it seems that Lu Xuan’s strike rate is relatively high.
sometimes.
The attack is not absolute power and accuracy. Lu Xuan seems to have a very wonderful spiritual power in judging human nature and psychological state.
Sometimes, it seems to predict what pitches the pitcher will throw.
And Ah Xiang has to wait until the pitcher throws the ball to make a judgment.
Although in terms of A Xiang’s processing ability and observation ability, in this case, as long as he doesn’t encounter the ball speed is very fast or the change is very strange.
Usually can always hit out accurately.
However, as soon as the pitcher’s ball speed exceeds 150, and the ball is changing with spin, the accuracy plummets.
After all, the distance from the pitching board to the hitting position is really short, and even A Xiang has no time to deal with it.
And Lu Xuan basically has a very high strike rate in any situation.
And Lu Xuan’s pitching, although the amount of practice is limited, but purely in terms of the ultimate speed of throwing straight balls, it is not much slower than A Xiang, because the limit in this regard is not how fast A Xiang can throw.
It’s about how fast the catcher can catch the ball. After a certain speed, the catcher can’t react at all,
even if he does.
That kind of terrifying speed and kinetic energy is not something that ordinary catchers dare to pick up.
And unfortunately, the Qinghe High School baseball team has only one average catcher who doesn’t have anything special except experience.
Swap A Xiang and Lu Xuan.
For the entire team at present, the loss of strength is not big, because the bottleneck of the team is not the performance of the two of them, but the average level of the entire team.
Although the main players have more motivation to practice after receiving the strong support of A Xiang and Lu Xuan, the many suggestions Lu Xuan and A Xiang gave them can also help them improve their level, but they must improve their level to a certain level. And to stabilize, that’s not something that can be accomplished in just a few weeks.
According to the coach’s expectations, at least until the end of this year will be able to see the entire team in a relatively good state.
“Yes, coach.” But everyone seemed to hear the coach’s confidence in entering the Jiazi country from the coach’s words.
As for the coach, before there were A Xiang and Lu Xuan in the team, I am afraid that the coach would never dare to say that he should retain his strength before selecting a strong school.
The best result of Qinghe High School in recent years is the top 32 in the regional trials. The last time it entered Jiaziyuan was in the last century.
In order to entertain the audience, the two pitchers now bumped into each other.
“Below 150, if it exceeds 150, it probably won’t look good.” Lu Xuan said.
“Let’s design some fun balls, use secret signals to each other, make it a little more dramatic, and make a few double-kill scenes… Triple-kill is more troublesome, and it’s not very easy to design.” A Xiang shrugged. ,Say.
“Don’t think about it too much. Be cool, don’t let people see that we are playing match-fixing.” Lu Xuan pressed the brim of her hat and walked towards the pitching board. The first sentence was that Team B would defend first.
Although those who had already started following Lu Xuan were really surprised to see Lu Xuan standing on the pitching board, there was no doubt that this would give them more reasons to like Lu Xuan.
Regardless, a pitcher is on the floor longer than a hitter and is more likely to gain attention.
Lu Xuan is in Team B, although according to the coach’s intention, it is very sure to let him take the lead, this is just a test training for him.
However, despite facing all the main selection team members, Lu Xuan still had no plans to lose.
Only now does he feel that his pitching practice is really a bit lacking. Recently, he only pitched when Ah Xiang was training to strike, because the third-year pitcher in the original team was not fast enough.
However, except for straight balls, Lu Xuan has not tried many other balls, although he is already familiar with those theories.
However, in the process of gradually trying to change the ball, Lu Xuan’s performance still made the coach very happy.
In addition to the frustrating occurrence of bad balls in a row, there have been occasional successful changes to the ball, and because the change of the ball is still unstable, the strange change has caused the batter to be at a loss.
Of course, A Xiang, who was the fifth team originally and now promoted to the fourth team because Lu Xuan became a member of the second team, has no such burden at all, because Lu Xuan walked him 4 bad balls without even thinking.
Naturally, this was not because Lu Xuan was afraid of A Xiang, nor was he worried about the ball being hit.
It’s not a shame to be hit by a non-human like A Xiang.
It’s just not very wise to face Ah Xiang directly when he first started to practice pitching.
That would definitely be a blow to his confidence.
There was no major movement in the stands, although many people were not satisfied with Lu Xuan’s less active tactical retreat.
But…there are too many girls who support Lu Xuan, and girls are often not very rational.
Any behavior of the idol is correct…
In order to mobilize everyone’s emotions, Lu Xuan deliberately relaxed a little to the next batter and gave a good shot. In the end, with a not-so-good infield fly ball, A Xiang changed easily. third base.
The astonishing speed made everyone stunned.
The next scene made everyone even more surprised. Although the sixth bat hit the ball, the ball flew directly towards Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan rotated his body and adjusted the position of catching the ball. He caught the ball and threw it back to home plate in between, and because of the skillful and smooth movement, A Xiang, who had not run back to home plate, was out of the game… The inning was over immediately.
It seems that he is not satisfied with the performance just now.
Afterwards, Ah Xiang only threw six balls to drive away the two batters before he realized what the coach said to keep a low profile and hide some of his abilities, and then he hit the base with a third bat with an unchanged inside corner kick, and then, A Xiang directly faced Lu Xuan’s blow.
Compared with pitching, Lu Xuan is obviously more experienced in hitting, and at least A Xiang won’t be too embarrassed for him today.
As expected, Ah Xiang gave him an outfield high fly ball. As for where he can run, it depends on good luck.
The great guy was quick but got stabbed just a little bit before the plate.
Lu Xuan, on the other hand, ran to base in a thrilling manner, and a double was not too much for his performance.
And at this time.
Something even more exciting happened.
All of a sudden, there was a low sound like rolling thunder in the air, and the helicopters of special forces wearing taupe city camouflage with the markings of the Self-Defense Forces sprayed and landed flew over their heads from far to near.
The self-defense players watched the baseball game below curiously, and one of the self-defense players threw a can of Coke down… and was easily caught by A Xiang who was standing on the pitching board.
And A Xiang changed his hand and threw the can of Coke on the sidelines.
It fell exactly into the arms of the new female manager of the baseball team who was just confirmed… Suddenly the whistle rang out, and the pretty little girl couldn’t tell whether she was excited or shy, and her face turned red.
This little girl really came for A Xiang.
However… Ah Xiang’s obvious expression made the little girl not know what to do.
Lu Xuan pouted, looking disapproving.
Ah Xiang can’t really do anything to other people’s little girls (in fact, this is not completely accurate, in fact, a male-shaped body can still do something, if there is internal behavioral data on this), especially in places like Japan, Little girls are very active and open, isn’t this way of provoking others to cause trouble for themselves?
Lu Xuan was not worried that if A Xiang really hooked up with the beautiful manager and was recognized by the little girl or something, the feather clan’s acting skills were not so good.
Back then, Qingqing used the beta version of the body to play with the world, and Lu Xuan felt like she would sweat every time she took out those videos, not to mention the latest version after decades of development. ‘s body.
Lu Xuan’s wild thoughts only led to one result, that is, he was assassinated in front of third base on the next ball, and he had to change the field again. It was his turn to pitch.
The Self-Defense Forces who flew over the school received a report from a resident of seeing suspicious people loitering near a food and beverage storage warehouse on the edge of a nearby residential area, allegedly carrying weapons, although it was not ruled out that The residents of Tokyo, who are now full of grass and trees, are overreacting. However, the current Japanese headquarters hopes to restore their absolutely disadvantaged position and image in the exercise by all means, even if it only captures a few members of the Chinese action team. .
Even if they are caught, they can’t do anything to them, they can only send them back home… Now there are quite a few people in the headquarters who are clamoring that they hope that this is not an exercise but a real war, so that they can deal with it severely. “mouse”.
However, the civilians of several level-headed senior military officers looked at each other, fully grasping the meaning behind China’s threatening intentions and China’s recent gestures in a series of diplomatic and commercial negotiations.
Even according to the logic of those hot-headed officers, it is really a war now, not to mention that even if the members of the Chinese action team are captured, it is worthwhile for the opponent to be wiped out after completing this kind of task. If China is really taking concrete military actions, it will be a question whether Tokyo still exists.
…For the first time, those missiles could drop anthrax instead of aluminum foil, and this time, those attack planes could drop some nerve agent or something instead of just pulling smoke.
Although it is a bit wasteful to let such an advanced fighter jet do the pesticide spreader, everyone knows that China has such a capability now.
The Chinese team is indeed still in Tokyo, and since very strict checks have begun, all passengers on all flights departing from Japan have been checked.
In order to capture the Chinese action team, the Japanese side almost spared no effort, mobilized almost all its forces, and even increased the density of patrols in the coastal waters, and even the route of smuggling back has been blocked.
Although the Chinese action team has a good cover, it is still facing a crisis.
That night, when Lu Xuan and A Xiang ended the game with a score of 14-11, the main selection team won an extremely exciting victory, with a home run and a double play, and a very intense exhibition match returned to their home. At that time, I found a man in his 40s standing downstairs, wearing a pair of thick glasses, wearing the summer training uniform of the Self-Defense Forces.
“My name is Takeo Uchiyama. Chief of the Technical Section of the Intelligence Department. … Mr. Hayama, could you please come with us.”
Could it be that his identity was discovered?
Lu Xuan was surprised.
However, looking at Uchiyama Takeo’s serious appearance, it doesn’t seem like he has discovered his identity. Moreover, although the manpower of the Self-Defense Force must be very tight right now, in any case, it will not be so nervous to send a person from the technical department without bringing Alone, to the point of arresting people without backup.
