Now when the pitcher has become the biggest advantage of Mingfeng Middle School, some of the potentially fatal shortcomings that have been covered up before are exposed:

Mingfeng Middle School's shooting lineup is already the strongest in the high school.

However, their only flaw is

There is no match for a talented catcher.

Is this a big question big or small?

To put it bluntly, the catcher is the team's brain and a participant in every ball. His cooperation with the pitcher determines the quality of each ball.

To put it in small ways, as long as the catcher can catch the pitcher's ball, there is no big problem of not losing points after the entire game.

Yi Cheng's pitching ability can perfectly make up for Yi Xingyu's shortcomings.

The pitcher can also serve as the team's brain, as long as the catcher is obedient.

The problem now is

Yi Cheng could not imagine how the Junguang team would take advantage of the team's loopholes.

However, it can be roughly seen from Yi Xingyu's missed contact just now:

Now Xiao Hei's physical fitness is declining, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with his pitching.

So if Yi Cheng wants to stabilize, he has to press down his pitching ability.

It is best to shoot more straight balls that are easy to catch, and to shoot less variable balls that are difficult to catch.

In the second half of the 7th game, the scores of both sides are still 0 to 0

It seems like everything is just beginning.

The first shot at Mingfeng Middle School is catcher Yi Xingyu.

Junguang team pitcher Shi Junliang wiped the sweat from his face and looked at Xiao Hei with a cramped look.

Of course, Yi Xingyu was not showing any weakness and stared at him fiercely.

Shi Junliang smiled discontently and threw a straight shot.

The speed of this ball is not fast, it is only about 120.

Compared to his previous 150-hour straight ball, it is incredibly slow.

Yi Xingyu did not hesitate to use the stick and hit the white ball into the outfield.

This time, Yi Xingyu was like a god's help, and the white ball actually landed on the ground.

Perhaps it was because outfielder Qin Tengming was too tired before running, which caused him to be distracted, so he didn't run to the position as soon as possible to complete the killing.

By the time he passed the baseball to first base, Yi Xingyu had already successfully reached the base.

The members of Mingfeng Middle School cheered.

Speaking of which, Yi Xingyu hasn't been in the official game for a long time.

In this game, he has played 4 times, and this is his first time standing on the base bag today.

In terms of speed and batting, Yi Xingyu is actually not awesome.

His greatest contribution to the team is that when he is a catcher, he has a large tonnage, strong strength, and stable catch.

No one expected him to play the ball, let alone go to base, but this performance just now was really overwhelming.

"You can!" his teammates cheered him up.

Yi Xingyu was moving his wrists, with a smug smile on his face.

"What does it mean? I've always been quite powerful, okay?"

Anyway, I am also the captain of the team. I can play key balls at critical moments. This is what the captain should do, right?

Just when Xiao Hei was proud, Ran Bingqing smelled a strange breath.

A look of worry appeared on her face, exactly the same as Yi Cheng next to her.

"Why did Shi Junliang's ball speed suddenly become so slow in that ball just now? Is it because his physical strength cannot keep up?"

"Maybe there is this ingredient, but it won't drop so much."

Ran Bingqing frowned and thought carefully.

Just when she and Yi Cheng were puzzled, a more puzzling scene happened on the field

Junguang's pitcher Shi Junliang began to keep shooting the ball towards first base.

Containing the ball is a tactic to prevent the opponent from snatching the base in advance.

Generally, in order to run to the next base as soon as possible, runners will stay away from the base bag they are in advance for a distance.

For example, runners at first base can walk in the direction of second base appropriately and prepare for sprinting.

At this time, if the pitcher throws the ball to first base and the runner is not on the base, he will be knocked out by the pass.

Using this pitching method to prevent the runners on the base bag from leaving the base bag is called restraining the ball.

The only confusing thing is

Yi Xingyu's running speed is very slow.

His physique is as high as 197, and it is a bit difficult to run, so there is no need for the team to shoot and hold the ball.

Generally, the restraining ball is used to restrain runners with fast footing.

To use this method to restrain Yi Xingyu, to put it bluntly, it is called farting, and it is a waste of time.

However, Yi Cheng soon understood the real purpose of restraining the ball:

Not to restrain runners.

It is to weaken the catcher.

Yi Xingyu now has two identities. He is a runner in the base bag and he is a catcher in the next game.

Whenever Junguang team shoots a restraining ball, this stupid guy will jump onto the base bag with all his strength.

Just hearing the sound of Yi Xingyu rushing to the ground, it hurts enough.

"Don't think about running to the second base!" Yi Cheng shouted loudly, "Just just stand on the base honestly, so as to save too much trouble from being restrained back and forth!"

"oh."

Yi Xingyu nodded, patted his knees and trouser legs, and stood on the trunk as Yi Cheng said.

"Yes, this guy is still a little brainy."

The corners of the catcher Ke Jiwen's mouth rose slightly.

He exchanged glances with the pitcher, and everyone understood that it was useless to continue shooting and restraining the ball.

The first strategy has been discovered.

It's time to implement the next second plan.

The following process further confirmed Yi Cheng's idea

The Junguang team's pitcher obviously did not let Xiao Hei get on the base because of physical fitness problems.

Instead, he deliberately threw a slow straight ball and let him get on base.

In order to weaken the catcher.

After this, Shi Junliang's ball control can be said to be perfect.

He successfully got the next hitter to play a ball.

In this way, Yi Xingyu, who was on the base bag, had to run to the second base desperately in order to give up the position for the first base.

In order to reach it smoothly, Yi Xingyu also used a sliding base method similar to a sliding shovel in a football, but he rushed forward from the front, slid on the ground through inertia, and stretched his hands forward, using a flying posture to facilitate touching the base bag.

Just seeing the large tonnage hit the ground, everyone felt pain.

With his extraordinary shoulder strength, Ke Jiwen passed the earth to first base and passed the hitter.

It was only after confirming that Yi Xingyu had reached the second base, the first baseman passed the ball back.

This behavior is very obvious. Even a fool can tell that they deliberately let Yi Xingyu go to the base.

Yi Cheng could probably guess the purpose of doing this

If you want catcher Yi Xingyu to consume more, it is best to get injured due to a physical collision during the rushing base. Don’t get too seriously injured. It is best to be able to catch the ball and move in a way that is not very convenient.

Catchers have high requirements for the strength of their lower limbs.

A big man like Yi Xingyu has a heavy body load, so he can't bear it if he runs to his lower limbs a few more times.

When it's his turn to catch the ball, he will be greatly affected by passing and receiving the ball.

No matter how powerful the pitcher is, it doesn't make sense to catch the catcher.

This is the tactics of the Junguang Team, also called the catcher targeting tactics.

During the break, Ke Jiwen gave his teammates the order to weaken Yi Xingyu as much as possible.
