It’s about five or six in the morning.

The still dark sky is about to be bright.

In front of a concrete mountain road in a hillside forest farm.

Two figures carrying large bags stood and were talking quietly at this time.

"Oh... Azhe, do you have any problems? Who can get up to train at 5:30 the next day of the New Year? I regret agreeing to come with you."

"I've come here, don't complain."

"I'm going to complain! This year my family's New Year trip is going to Hawaii! I'm the only one who is stupid and traveling and not going to special training!"

"It's safe. If you train others when they play, they will be stronger than others."

"But……"

"No need, just warm up first."

Takashi Nishino urged him to warm up while listening to Kazuya's complaints.

From the second day after the beginning of the New Year, the plan is to come to this hillside forest farm for training every day.

First, there are steep and continuous concrete mountain paths here to run uphill, and second, there is a large enough open space in front of the forest hut.

"Why do you need to warm up here?" Nishino Kazuya asked in confusion.

Takashi Nishino pointed to the mountain road with a relatively large slope.

"Sprint first."

"ah?"

Looking at the endless mountain road, Kazuya Nishino felt that his feet had started to hurt: "If I run up, I'm afraid my legs would be shaking like a sieve."

"It's just running up, not that exaggerating." Takashi Nishino said.

Then I quietly added to my heart that if you want to shake, you have to wait until you finish running back and forth 20 times before talking.

Go up to the woods and put things in front of the hut.

Kazuya Nishino was about to sit down and rest for a while when he was shocked by his first training program.

"Sakado...Sakado's sprint?"

"Come 10 am? 10 pm?"

"Don't look like you'll die after running. The section you'll run is only 200 meters, and the total is less than 5 kilometers. I'll run more times than you."

Before dawn.

The first training is Sakurado sprinting. Use the forward leaning posture of running the ramp to increase the strength of pushing the ground.

Takashi Nishino talked about the independent training to others, but Komata, meteor, Shinji, Akira, Matsuye, and Lixin each had their own affairs.

This is also easy to understand. After all, it is the New Year holiday, and everyone wants to rest and relax with their families.

During the independent training period, Tetsu Nishino made a detailed training plan for Kazuya.

Practice for two days and take a day off.

Practice the lower body and upper body for one day.

This break does not mean going home to rest, but rather stopping and retraining to restore your body. There will still be practices for pitching postures on that day.

Fitness balls, stretching belts, soccer balls, weight bags and other auxiliary equipment were all carried.

Tetsu Nishino plans to help Kazuya improve his pitching posture.

Go closer from the original high-pressure throwing normal to the three-quarter throwing method.

Although it is still a high-pressure type overall, the angle between the arm and the horizontal direction is slightly reduced when swinging the arm, which is more ergonomic.

The high-pressure throwing method has a vertical arm, and the upper body is pressed forward greatly, which can throw relatively fast balls and have a sharp longitudinal base angle.

At the same time, the disadvantages are also obvious.

It has high requirements for physical endurance, hidden dangers of arm damage, and lacks lateral changes in the ball path.

Kazuya Nishino wants to take the speed ball game's own route, and he has a good talent, but his height of about 1.7 meters limits his ball speed limit.

The first grade is 140 kilometers, the second grade is 150 kilometers, and the third grade is 160 kilometers. Such a smooth improvement is that there is only one person in the 100-year record of high school baseball.

Most pitchers with ball speeds of more than 140 kilometers in the first grade are still stuck below 150 kilometers in the third grade.

Strengthen ball possession.

Increase the speed.

Hone the lateral change ball.

Tetsu Nishino believes that this is a route suitable for Kazuya's left-handed shot advantage.

...

Have a nutritious meal made by Takashi Nishino for lunch.

Boiled chicken breasts, eggs, rice balls, bananas.

Before coming, they borrowed the keys of the forest cottage from the owner of the forest, and the two of them rested for a while.

Kazuya Nishino can finally take out his mobile phone and play.

Tetsu Nishino leaned over and looked: "Oh, the portrait is good, um, but it's a pity."

As soon as he heard this tickling tone, Kazuya Nishino knew what he meant and argued unconvincedly: "What's wrong with A!"

"As long as it looks good, I want it too!"

"Haha, I didn't say anything." Takashi Nishino laughed, "It's really beautiful, I think it's beautiful, too."

"snort!"

After rest, the training continues.

Tetsu Nishino sets himself the goal of at least 1,000 strokes a day.

In baseball games, the 150km/hour fast ball from the sack to the gloves entering the catcher is only 0.4 seconds.

In such a short period of time, once you decide to make a stick, the whole movement is like an arrow that cannot be retracted.

If the incoming ball does not match the preset hit position, the reaction time will be only 0.1 to 0.2 seconds left.

It is extremely difficult to change the hitting point in the middle. If you accidentally sprain your body, it will not be worth the effort.

Therefore, the key to the attack is to "find it right and then fight".

Even skilled players can only make clever hits when they expect their opponents to give specific tricky ball paths and be prepared.

See the ball clearly, swing the baton to play.

This requires the hitters to have a swing speed that is not suppressed by the ball speed. The increase in swing speed is inseparable from a large number of repetitive movement training.

Over and over again, make the body remember the movement trajectory of swinging to the designated position.

Monotonous and boring.

For the explosion of the ball touching in a moment of 0.1 second or even shorter.

...

Time is moving forward similarly and differently.

The last day of independent training.

In the evening.

The afterglow gradually disappeared behind the mountains, and the sky gradually darkened.

While packing up his things, Kazuya Nishino said, "Azhe, I'll ask you a question. Among the pitchers you know, who can I rank in the top scorer I know?"

Takashi Nishino has contacted and fought against many excellent pitchers, including those at the Jiaziyuan level, other teams, and those in this county.

"Hehe! I have been practicing for so long, and I want to know what level I am at right now." Kazuya Nishino said.

Then after 30 seconds, no answer was made.

"Is it going to be so long..."

"Don't worry, I've counted more than 50, and it'll be yours soon."

Kazuya Nishino: "…"

"So I'm so weak. Oh, forget it, just be a substitute who has no dreams."

"I'm praising you. I can enter Jiaziyuan in 49 high schools across the country. I don't need to say more about what it means to rank 50."

"Kaya, give yourself some confidence."

Kazuya Nishino was angry: "Salted fish have no confidence and goals."

There is nothing to do with him.

Tetsu Nishino raised his hand to snatch his baseball cap, pulled open his backpack and took out a black oily pen, and wrote a few words on the brim of the hat.
