Chapter 221 The Best Place to Drop the Curveball
Facing the opponent who was hit by a home run for the first time, Ed was not emotional, but smiled at Jose who called a timeout: "Don't worry, the straight ball was caught, it's not With regard to your distribution of the ball, you can’t still have a curveball on the third ball after the first two balls are clearly seen? Do I want to pursue three balls and three strikes?”

"..." After he had finished speaking, Jose's face turned a little dark, and he forced himself to say: "If you get bombarded again, I will replace you."

Haha~ Ed turned around and left Jose couldn't stop laughing, he just likes to tease the catcher who is always sullen, besides, what's the matter with the home run, which pitcher hasn't been hit?Just don't let the Warriors play in series.

……

With no one out, the St. Louis Warriors lead the Springfield Sparrows 1-0.

The hitters turn to the Warriors' second bat Pui Chrome.

Puychrome was a big rookie, and unlike the rest of the baseball invites, he had an IQ higher than his size.And because his parents did not agree with him to continue playing baseball, after all, high school baseball games are intensive, which is different from the entertainment and physical training interests of junior high school, so he did not join the baseball club at first.

It was the coach who came to the door to lobby for many times before pulling people in.So his baseball talent and ability are naturally nothing to say.

There is a certain pressure for a big man to stand on the strike zone and put a certain pressure on the pitcher. After all, for most people, a strong body represents a stronger strength.

The ball hits the inner corner, and Pui chrome makes a big step back!
"boom!"

bad ball!

Pu Yichrome looked at Ed with unfriendly eyes. This kind of close-up ball coming straight to the head is too dangerous.

The stick was held tighter, the lifting position changed, and the stick itself was lifted closer to the head, and now it moved back directly, come and come!

Here comes the curveball!

"Boom!"

With a big swing of the golden aluminum rod, the ball was pulled back forcefully. It didn't fly high, but it flew very far.

Left fielder back!Back off!

He jumped up against the home run wall, and stretched out his hand as much as possible!

But the ball jumped over the glove and entered the fan's glove!
Home run!
Back to back home runs!
The fan who received the ball was a child. He jumped up happily and high-fived the fans next to him. He was so excited.

Depend on!Ed looked at Pui, who was running the bases, and made a mocking smile at himself, and suddenly became angry, what a monster!
"Yeah!!" The teammates jumped up and touched their elbows with Pu Yichrome. They were more enthusiastic than Shen Qin, and they were obviously more familiar: "Amazing!"

There was no booing on the field at the moment, after all, the first ball could be a batter, but the booing after back-to-back home runs was obviously aimed at the pitcher!

joke!How can the home team boo themselves!

Amazing!Shen Qin's eyes lit up. Different from relying on his skills to fish out the ball, Pu Yijia relied entirely on his strength. The ball just missed the center of the ball, but he was able to blast it out!Too fierce!Innate racial advantage?
His head sank, and Coach Quinn put his hand on it: "Tsk tsk! I've never seen one that developed as late as yours. I don't even want to make you a power Xunli gate."

Shen Qin jumped up suddenly: "I have developed, I have developed! I can do it!"

"Hahaha~" The teammates around laughed, and it was the first time they realized that this cold-faced tsundere in the team turned out to be a natural fool, and Pu Yiqin, who had just returned from the victory, stepped forward and hugged Shen Qin's neck Laughing: "How do you know you have grown? Hahaha~"

Shen Qin blushed in an instant, pushed Pu Yichrome to get behind Kou Chi, and now the team members laughed even louder. Only then did the big guys realize that Shen Qin is actually one year younger than everyone, tsk tsk!One year younger is a child!More concessions will be made in the future!
"boom!"

The sound of batting on the field drew the attention of the general assembly, and the 3-bat Campbell even hit a hit and went to first base.

There was dead silence on the field. One team might have been an accident, but consecutive hits should be the fundamental difference in strength, right?
no!Ed snorted, and suppressed the emotions provoked by Puy Chrome, took a deep breath and shook his head at Jose who was about to stand up behind the home plate, indicating that he was fine.

Jose didn't think it was all right. Ed was a nice guy and he shot the ball well, especially the curveball.But just too confident.

Confidence is not a bad thing, but it has to be based on the facts. What's the use of a curveball, you have to have other balls to match.

Thinking of this, Jose took a look at the Warriors' lounge. If he was picked by the Warriors, he wouldn't have to wait on Ed, right?

damn it!What's wrong with me?If even Qin can be selected, will he be worse than him?
Kneel down and signal to the pitcher Chubby: You just go with confidence, this is the fourth bat!
If you like curveballs, so be it.

Ed looked at the black Marcel on the strike zone and curled his lips. He couldn't be underestimated by his catcher. The two hadn't been getting along for a long time, so don't make trouble.

Step on the home plate, step out, and wave your arms wildly!
Whoosh! ! !
So fast!

Both Jose and Marcel were a little stunned.

The stick that was swung out can no longer be taken back.

"Boom!"

The bat only scrapes the middle of the ball, creating a ground ball toward second base.

The second baseman took a few steps back to catch the shortstop who quickly passed to the filling second base. The shortstop stepped on the base to block the runner and passed to the first baseman at the same time, forming a perfect 6-4-3 double play.

Jose was relieved and excited at the same time, Ed's curveball just now was more perfect than before, fast!It's not the speed of the ball, but the speed of the ball!
This kind of rotation will cause a lot of trouble for the hitter. As long as the center of the ball is not grasped when the bat is in contact with the ball, it will be impossible to control the direction of the shot. Strike condition.

With the cheers from the stadium, Jose made a rare gesture of praise, and Ed on the mound smiled.

A double play is always a pitcher's best friend. Thanks to the defense, Ed turned sideways to the fielder and gestured for two outs. What's the big deal about losing points, just hit back!
Marcel, who was off the court, was not angry at all. He only bumped fists with Campbell, who was knocked out by himself, and then rushed into the waiting room and described Ed's ball vividly with his teammates: "The speed is very fast! The tail force is very strong. Foot! Squeeze my stick completely! It's the first time I've seen a curveball like this!"

As he spoke, he shook Shen Qin: "Qin! You just let go of two curveballs! Did you also notice the speed? It's amazing, isn't it!"

Shen Qin nodded blankly, moved back, he was not on the field, he just talked, don't move around, he was playing tricks on me before, I'm not used to being so intimate all of a sudden!But the serious question still has to be answered: "It's amazing! It spins fast! It's a very powerful pitcher. It's the first time I've met someone my age who is about my height. But it's still so powerful~"

"puff!!!"

The lounge burst into laughter again, and Marcel looked at Shen Qin's serious face and twitched: "You, you, you did it on purpose, right? It must be on purpose, right?"
