My Girlfriend is a Wicked Girl

The baseball playing field is fan-shaped, with the home base as the starting point, plus the first base, second base, and third base to form a rhombus, which is called the infield, and the area outside of it is called the outfield, and the distance between any base Both are ninety feet, and in the middle near home plate is the mound—a mound of dirt where a pitcher pitches, with a white pitcher's board on top.

The auditorium is surrounded by a layer of barbed wire outside the competition field, trying to avoid the direct ball flying in and hurting the audience, but the barbed wire is not too high, and it can't stop the high-altitude ball, but the high-altitude ball falls It can't hurt anyone.

Regional competitions are just for qualifying places. There are strong teams and weak teams. Of course, the strong ones have the level of Koshien. The sparse ones should be relatives and friends of today's team, or simply spies, sent by other schools to study the opponents in advance.

Ritsu Shikishima led Hideji Kitahara and they found a front row seat with a better view and sat down. Hideji Kitahara looked at the scoreboard. Currently, the two teams have reached the sixth game, with a score of 9:1. Among them, Shi Nai The industry is leading by a large score, and Zhengling High School, which is behind, has not given up and is defending desperately.

Hideji Kitahara glanced at him and asked Ritsu Shikishima, "How long will it take to get to Uchida and the others?"

"That's the end of this match, Beiyuan-kun."

Then just wait, and Yoko also looked at the stadium facilities curiously, and after looking around for a whole circle, he turned his eyes to the field, full of freshness, with a small hand pinching the corner of Hideji Kitahara's clothes, for fear that he would run away up. However, she doesn't usually pay attention to sports, so she doesn't understand much, but she is too embarrassed to ask, so she just watches there, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Xueli noticed that she was still very enthusiastic, and asked cheerfully, "Yangzijiang, don't you usually play baseball? What about softball? You must have played softball, right?"

Yangzi shook her head: "I don't want to play, sister Xueli."

"You should play such a fun game, then I'll teach you! It's very simple, just hit the ball with a stick. If you hit it flying, you win, and if you miss it, you lose." Xueli is also very good at being a teacher.

Yang Zi was dumbfounded. that's all? Is baseball such an easy game? And Hideji Kitahara took a look at Yuuri, and smiled at Yoko: "Don't listen to your sister Yuri, ask your brother Shikishima if you don't understand!"

Xueli was slightly dissatisfied and said: "I often play baseball, that's the way I play. Pitching is boring, but hitting is interesting. If you hit the ball until you can't see it, you are definitely winning! I often play against monkeys, They all call me Big Sister Haobang and say I have professional baseball skills!"

That's what you call a home run, right? And what nonsense are you bragging about! Even Hideji Kitahara didn't quite understand it himself, but he didn't think Yukiri understood it either.

Shikishima Ritsu is still very gentle, more like a big brother than Kitahara Hideji, smiled and pointed to the field and patiently explained to Yoko, Kitahara Hideji also stretched out his ears to listen.

Baseball games are generally divided into nine innings. If the score is tied, there will be an extra game until the winner is determined. However, if the Koshien game is added to fifteen innings, the game will be played again tomorrow. After all, it is a high school level game, and the body cannot The boy who didn't grow up was tired out.

The game is divided into two teams, each team has nine players, and the two teams take turns to attack and defend.

The attacking team hits the balls thrown by the pitcher of the defending team in turn at the home base, and then runs the bases after hitting the ball effectively, and finally returns to the home base through the first base, second base, and third base, which counts as one point.

Of course, except for hitting a home run, that is, hitting the ball to a place where the defenders can't catch it, there is generally no chance to run around and run back to the home plate to score. Instead, they advance one base after another. For example, the first bat goes to the first base, and then rushes from the first base to the second base after the second bat starts running, and the second bat occupies the position of the first base. The rules do not allow two offensive players to stand on a base bag. So after the second bat and the start, no matter whether the first bat is high or not, you have to advance to the second base, and it is the same if there is someone on the third base.

A hit that leads to a safe hit or a direct score is called a "hit."

There is often a situation in the game where there are offensive players on all three bases. At this time, the fourth batter comes out, one batters the world, makes a clean hit, and then can send his partner on third base home. Base, get a run. If he hit a home run, it would give his three teammates on the base plus himself enough time to run back to the plate and score four runs in one fell swoop.

If all the players are hitting strong bats, and the opponent's pitcher is weak, the type of ball has not changed, and the speed of the ball is slow, then the offensive hitters can hit one hit after another, and they can do it in one round. The score makes the opponent desperate.

As for defense, the pitcher is the main force, and the best pitcher in a team is called the ace. The highest goal is to keep the opponent from hitting a single ball, and the opponent will naturally lose the ability to score.

The pitcher throws the ball and puts it into the effective strike zone. It is called a strike. If the opponent misses three strikes in a row, or the bad ball swings, this is called "strikeout", and the batter is replaced. When all three batters are out, that is, "three outs", the offense and defense are switched, which is regarded as the completion of half an inning - both sides attack and defend once, which is one inning.

In addition to the pitcher, the defense also has eight players, including home plate catcher, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, center fielder, left fielder, and right fielder. Hit the ball and those defenders need to start catching the ball.

Receiving the ball directly without waiting for the ball to land is called "catch and kill", and the batter is out; after catching up with the ball, it is necessary to judge who to pass to according to the situation on the field, for example, the opponent is rushing to the second base along the base line , can be passed to the second baseman to block the opponent's forward route, but the opponent can't go back, a companion is on the first base, and it is a foul when two people go back to the first base. As soon as he touches him, he will be out of the game, which is called "smothering"; "Interception".

Of course, there are many tactics, these are just the most basic ones, but Ritsu Shikishima talked about it for a while, not to mention Yoko, even Hideji Kitahara was a little confused - no wonder this sport is only popular in a few countries in the United States and Japan , which is too troublesome.

He summed it up by himself, and felt that the main purpose of the defense is to throw a good ball and not be hit by the opponent. Even if the opponent hits it, he must ensure that he can catch it. better.

The pace of the baseball game is very slow. Hideji Kitahara watched the pitcher on the field who was behind on the field flicking his head around to check the opponent's movements to prevent the opponent from stealing bases. He also communicated with the catcher partner squatting on the home plate. He felt that the type of ball was unreliable, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he went to see the supervisor off the field, hoping that the supervisor would give some instructions, and he assumed a cautious attitude that if he didn't shoot the ball well, he would die. dead.

But Hideji Kitahara can also understand, after working hard for a whole year, who doesn't want to achieve good results, who doesn't want to be the focus of the whole country's attention, fame and fortune--they will go home after losing the first round, Jiazi in August The garden was pulled down directly, and a year's hard work can be said to be worthless.

The fierce competition can be seen. Everyone who enters the game pursues only victory, and only the efforts of the winners are valuable.

Kitahara Hideji is a character who attaches great importance to winning and losing. He interrupted Shikishima's science popularization, saved Yoko's life who had become a mosquito-repellent eye, and asked, "Is Uchida's opponent strong?"

Ritsu Shikishima turned back, and smiled softly: "I watched the video of last year with Stallion, it seems that it is not very strong, if it is strong, Stallion will not be so worried about gains and losses last night."

Hideji Kitahara thought about it, too. If the opponent was a super strong team, according to Uchida Yuma's piss, he probably called last night because he was crying and complaining about the unfairness of God, instead of dragging him to watch the game.

The game scene was dull for a while, so he got up and bought iced juice drinks and some snacks for the big guys. It was mainly for Yangzi. He is very frugal himself, but he can’t be frugal with Yangzi. He always wants to feed her well.

And Yoko gave Hideji Kitahara a sweet smile, and ate with her older sister Yuri.

The two teams played for more than 40 minutes to finish the remaining three rounds. No wonder Koshien began to hold trials with IH in August and June. With this efficiency, these more than 100 teams can compete in more than a month. It's good to finish.

After the game, a sharp air defense siren sounded suddenly, which startled Hideji Kitahara. He instinctively looked up at the sky, and it took him a while to realize that this might be some kind of strange tradition. Successfully reversed the defeat and lost the game with a score of 14:2. The last stick was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and was finally moved away by his cloud-faced companions.

No one cared about his tears, the stadium staff quickly repaired the field briefly, and soon the scores of the two teams on the scoreboard were cleared, Shi Nai Industry entered the second round, and the summer of Zhengling High School ended.

In the next game, players from both sides entered the field to start warming up, among them was Uchida Yuma. He was wearing a baseball cap and a baseball jersey with diagonal stripes, making him look less mean and more athletic. He didn't concentrate on warming up, but searched in the stands with his eyes, and soon found Kitahara Hideji and the others, rushed over, raised the brim of the baseball hat through the barbed wire to salute, and shouted with a smile: "Be careful!" The heroic appearance of my lord stallion!"

Normally, Ritsu Shikishima would turn his eyes away when he dared to speak like that, but this time he not only didn't mind but encouraged him, shouting at him, "Come on, Stallion!"

Kitahara Hideji, as the bastard's best friend, couldn't pour cold water on him at this time, and also yelled, "Uchida, hit hard!"

Yangzi also clenched her fists and shouted, "Senior, please do your best!"

With his mouth full of banana slices, Xueli mumbled, "￥\u0026amp;#\u0026amp;*#\u0026amp;#!"

Uchida Yuma had seen Yuri and Yoko a long time ago, winked at Hideji Kitahara, and gave a cheap smile, expressing that he was very satisfied with Hideji Kitahara's attention, and brought his girlfriend to cheer him on, which was interesting, and then turned to The head ran away - a senior senior was calling him.

The players from both sides have started to line up. It is estimated that this kind of one-off battle is not taken seriously. It will be one game after another. It feels a bit rushed. The players on both sides saluted each other, then saluted the four referees, and then the air defense siren sounded again—Hideji Kitahara was really speechless, what's wrong with it? Why do you have to pull the air defense siren when you are playing baseball?

Then he took a closer look at the field and found that there was no Yuma Uchida. He was surprised and asked Ritsu Shikishima, "Where are the Uchida people?" Shouldn't all the private Daifuku be on the field when defending?

Shikishima pointed under the seat: "The stallion has entered the cowshed."

The bullpen is the waiting room for players who are not in the game. The etymology comes from an American tobacco company called "Bison". When MLB was first established, it seemed that the company hung advertisements on the players' preparation room for a long time, and one side of the preparation room was meshed. Later, the preparation room was not called the bullpen.

Hideji Kitahara was speechless, why did you ask everyone to come if you didn't play? He asked: "Which position will Uchida play? Is it not his turn?"

"He is a catcher in the first-year shooting combination. He can't be the starter. I guess the starting pitcher will play when he is tired!"

Kitahara Hideji was even more speechless, it sounded like he couldn't play!

He was prepared to beat Uchida to death if he couldn't play immediately and he made a trip for nothing, and the game on the court had already started. The opponent was Naganogawa High School, wearing a pure white baseball uniform, and was on the offensive side. Their first hitter was standing in the strike zone with an arm stretched out to indicate that he was not ready, and he was desperately pawing the ground with his feet. Shishi seemed to be trying to dig a shallow hole there to prevent him from losing his strength when he started running later.

And in the waiting area not far from him, the second hitter from Naganogawa was kneeling on one knee and leaning on a bat to observe the pitcher of the private Daifuku.

Hideji Kitahara glanced at the scoreboard, it is currently 0:0, hope to win!

Although I made up some baseball games, I am still a little confused about the rules. If there are any imperfections or mistakes, please point them out in the chapters!
