Absolute on the Mound

15. Last stand (2).

5.

“Hooray!”

As Lee Jin-yong was making his ninth whistle in the mount, some reporters who were watching the match said.

“Every time I bust out, I fuck off, you fucking idiot. ”

“You're provoking me to kill you. ”

Lee Jin-yong is being very provocative right now.

“What kind of a slowpoke is this? ”

“Ass balls, what kind of guts? ”

“It's just a hawk, make it. ”

He's being rude.

‘Yeah, that's it. ’

However, Huang Seonwoo's view of the game was different.

‘It's not a major league, and the pitcher has to show that kind of performance at bat flip-flops in Korea. It's baseball to watch them hit each other in the first place. ’

He liked the look of Lee Jin-yong.

‘Even though I'm not better and more docile, I'm more popular with the right people. ’

Because it was a treasure for reporters to leave the humanity of Jin Yong and become like Jin Yong.

Literally.

The knights needed nothing more than an issue, and players like Jin Yong had quite a number of good conditions to make an issue.

‘And I wasn't a crazy person who was talking nonsense. ’

At the same time, Hwang Seonwoo did not miss that Lee Jin-yong was doing a pretty good pitch.

"aggressively putting a ball in John. ’

In fact, the pitch that Lee Jin-yong showed up to three times was not unique, but rather very formal pitching.

Aggressively putting the ball in the Strike Zone was the foundation and all the pitcher needed.

However, there were not many pitchers who knew about it and put it into practice.

‘It's not a normal mentality. ’

Because I'm scared.

The concept of Strike Zone in the beginning refers to the extent to which the batsman can hit the ball properly.

In other words, putting the ball in the Strike Zone means putting in a ball that the batsman can hit.

Of course, the slower the restraining pitcher, the less pitchers lacking the mouth, and the greater the fear the poor pitcher has the change sphere.

‘One breast is the hardest in the whole group, I think, from group 2 of Angels. ’

Even Mound is a lonely place.

No one to talk to, only eyes and dials, and not even the other team's coaching staff and batsmen should see the conversation.

This kind of horror is nothing like watching a scary movie.

It's more like a fear of sticking your hand inside a bomb or hanging on a cliff.

‘Well, in a way, he's a lunatic. ’

However, in that situation, Lee Jin-yong was throwing a small ball, rather than being scared, and was taunting.

‘The problem starts 4 times · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

Of course, it was clear that the real crisis of Lee Jin-yong would come from the fourth time.

At that moment, Hwang Seon-woo remembered what Lee Jin-yong said.

In the locker room, Lee Jin-yong prepared as if it were natural.

‘It's worth coming up to 2,000. ’

The moment I thought of that, Hwang Seon-woo placed his hand on his keyboard.

Ta-da!

A new sound begins to decorate the ground.

Then the third horse began.

6.

Baaak!

The sound of not being cheerful, even the pink, splits over the ground into half a fence.

“Ah!”

The sound caused everyone to express a brief admiration.

Only one of the batsmen who made this sound now began running the ground silently instead of amazed.

Joon-Hyung Park shot up a two-point home run that broke the zero-to-zero balance.

“What a guy. ”

It's hard to hit a home run.

“Joon-hyung, the goods are definitely goods. I'm not just hitting home runs, I'm hitting them when it matters. ”

And it's much more difficult to hit the home run, which makes it more inclined in a zero-to-zero situation.

“You have a knack for clutch heaters. ”

That was why many people gave admiration, praise and high scores towards Park Jun Hyung.

However, only one did not express admiration, praise and joy.

Jin-yong's score came up.

“Yes.”

So, what do we do?

Lee Jin-yong looked at the ground with a dull look, rather than being overwhelmed by grief.

Because I knew.

“We must keep this score at all costs. ”

Defend this score with all means and means.

The fact that his role in winning today has become more important.

“Yes.”

7.

Two-zero.

Now that he was losing, Mars Rangers faced four candles and started thinking about two options.

“Be more aggressive, because you need to score! ”

Will you focus on scoring against the linemen?

“Take down the first pitcher. Don't get aggressive. Look at the ball as hard as you can. It's eating away at the helmet! ”

Or will you focus on tiring the pitchers?

The best thing, of course, was to just smash the pitcher's ball without rest, but if that was possible, one to three times, 10 batsmen would not have come out and hit just one anthem.

In that thought, Mars Rangers made a decision.

“Hyuk.”

“Yes, Coach. ”

“I'll take you down first. See as much as you can, kick as much as you can, rather than being aggressive. ”

Mars Rangers' choice was to tire him out rather than take points from Jin Yong.

‘I battle as long as I can. ’

The second runner, who came out as the first 4 times, was willing to carry out such an order.

He was about to make Lee Jin-yong throw as many balls as possible.

‘Let's take a look at the outpost. ’

It was not uncommon for him to choose to watch the beginnings of binary dragons.

The problem was that he showed such willingness in the battlefield.

Closer to the home plate than the first threshing. There's a bat in there with a short grip.

It showed that no matter who saw it, it was not an aggressive strike, but it was prepared for a long battle.

I guess I'll just have to see the outpost now. What do you want to do?

And the pitcher on the mount is not a normal pitcher.

“Let's give it a try. ”

What if I get hit while I'm throwing a slow ball?

“I held the bat like that for a short time, but it couldn't have been a home run. ”

But what if it does?

“Then I'll call you Kim Jin-ho. ”

Hey, I'm your brother!

“You, actually. ”

Ahjussi?

That Lee Jin-yong is a pitcher who is not afraid of being hit.

“Mr. Kim Jinho, let's begin Operation Two. ”

Lee Jin-yong threw the beginner against pregnancy.

A foam fastball facing down the Strikezone.

Boom!

Detainment is 110 kilometers.

Huh?

A ball that is slow enough to feel like the ball has stopped during pregnancy.

“Strike!”

The ball shook his head.

8.

At the beginning of the 4th time, no one thought that Lee Jin-yong had thrown a 110-kilometer fastball into the Strike Zone because she was exhausted.

“Haha, this is crazy. ”

I thought that Lee Jin-yong was not afraid of the Mars Rangers.

“They fucking look at us. ”

It was inevitable that the Mars Rangers would be angry.

The only thing that seemed shallow to a pitcher who was only in his 120s with fastball restraints was something he had never experienced in high school.

"Oh, I'm pissed! ’

Clear the bench? ’

Of course, the patience of the Mars Rangers began to boil.

But none of them exploded immediately.

‘Relax, relax. You don't have to get in the way. ’

‘There's nothing good about being provoked. You do what I hit. ’

He was a pro.

Amateurs were the only ones who messed up the game with anger and excitement because the opponent was taunting and they were shallow.

But their mindset is the moment when Lee Jin-yong catches pregnancy as the leader.

“Hooray!”

As if Lee Jin-yong had seen on the mount, he shouted his tenth horn today.

“That bastard. ”

It was gone at that moment.

“I'll kill you. ”

Only anger and hostility towards binary dragons remain.

9.

“Hooray!”

As soon as I caught the tenth outcount against pregnancy, Lee Jin-yong cheered as always.

And at the same time as giving the cheer, Lee Jin-yong gave a sudden look at Kim Jin-ho.

Kim Jin-ho's gaze was not directed at Lee Jin-yong, but toward a three-roor Doug out and Mars Rangers bench.

“How's the mood? ”

Well, nothing special. I have to watch out for the night after today's game, but since the Republic of Korea hasn't legalized firearms, don't you have to worry about getting shot? It's that kind of atmosphere.

“Phew.”

In response to Kim Jin-ho's reply, Lee Jin-yong exhaled in a small voice.

With that breath, I covered my mouth with a glove and vomited like sighing.

“Oh, you don't have to do this with so much stamina. ”

Along with the horse, Jin Yong recalled the stamina consumed by holding 11 batsmen and 10 outputs in his head.

‘You have 30 points of stamina left. ’

Max HP for binary is 78 points.

Naturally, this stamina was too weak to digest the inning with a pitcher.

In a situation where throwing only three or four rising fastballs would consume more than 10 points of stamina, Jin Yong threw fewer such rising fastballs.

Rather, it was great to spend 48 health points on 11 batsmen in such situations.

And that was possible because binary dragons made aggressive pitches, and Mars Rangers were willing to take aggressive hits on those aggressive pitches.

It was because the palms clashed against each other.

In other words, for binary purposes, Mars Rangers had to avoid a relentless battle against themselves and a battle to consume the helmets of pitchers.

‘I have to somehow get the Rangers to come after me. ’

That's why you taunt.

Even more effective. I would have done what you did when I was in the Major League. When I think about it, I acted like a gentleman.

For Jin Yong, provocation was not his choice, but an action he had to do to survive.

“A gentleman should have a $10,000 fine for being warned by a two-handed double puck from a batsman who sees himself at Doug's out. ”

Did I do that?

“Yes, you did. ”

I don't remember much.

“Do you want me to show it to you right now so you can remember? ”

Maybe we should start by dealing with batsmen who are desperate to hit you.

Of course, just provoking is stupid and dangerous.

When taunting an predator, you should always be prepared to catch it and dig a trap.

Of course, Lee Jin-yong was not only ready to provoke.

“Yes, it's time to start a chain business. ”

Lee Jin-yong took out his third weapon, the chain business, four times.

That's what Lee Jin-yong prepared for phase two, a tactical name, and this! It was.

9.

What's a good ball for a batter who can't wait to hit a fastball?

There are many answers to this question.

There will be those who write down the deformation fastball as an answer, and there will be those who write down the falling splitter or fork ball as an answer.

And those who are few will say the ball.

“For a batsman full of fastballs, the changeover is like Achilles' heel. ”

Chainwork.

A ball that is weak by itself, but brave enough to be a horse's feet with a fastball.

In fact, Lee Jin-yong has often used the chain business in games that have been played.

Even if it wasn't, it was also proof that Lee Jin-yong had to have a chain business.

The change-up was a must-learn tool for a slow-binding pitcher to survive on the pro stage.

But what the Martian Rangers realized was that the game started a little bit later.

Exactly!

“Ah!”

“Shit, he's in the chain again. ”

About the fourth time.

“I've had three guys in that chain business. ”

“Shit, I should have been ready. ”

“More than that, the chain business is no joke. ”

When the three batsmen in the chain business were sacrificed.

“This is crazy. You didn't score five times, did you? ”

It was around the time when the first five attacks were over without scoring.

Thanks to that.

[You got 45 points.]

[Five-Inning Flawless Pitching.]

It was possible for Lee Jin-yong to achieve a winning pitch requirement that no one can deny with a five-inning three-fianta flawless pitch.

And thanks to that, Jin Yong was finally able to face him.

Congratulations Jin-yong!

[You currently have 8 health remaining.]

The gates of hell are finally open! Hahaha! I missed this!

Lee Jin-yong, a wall finally appeared in front of him.

10.

It was sudden.

At the end of the 5th, Angel batsmen started with a 4-0, 4-point lead at the beginning of the 6th, thanks to their successive goal of 2 extra points.

Baaak!

“Huh?"

“Huh?"

5 Inning 3Pianta Bolnet One Amazing pitch When the first 6 mounted binary dragons dealt with the first batsman neatly with the ground ball and then the second batsman.

“Home run?”

Lee Jin-yong made a point that day for the first time.

“What, suddenly? ”

And that was the beginning.

Baaak!

Jin Yong, who gave up the solo home run in the first company, gave up his sadness against the next batsman.

Baaak!

And then he gave up his sadness against the batsman.

“Three in a row? ”

Lee Jin-yong, who had only given me three anthems up to 5 innings, suddenly gave me three consecutive anthems, including a home run, and it was a moment when I faced the situation of 1 and 3 players.

The atmosphere of the ground changed, of course.

“What's wrong with him all of a sudden? ”

Among them, the atmosphere changed the most rapidly, but it was Mars Rangers.

“The guerrillas are dropping sharply. ”

“Fastball restraints are less than 110 kilometers. ”

Mars Rangers, who had never been beaten by Jin Yong, had no intention of missing this opportunity to get revenge beyond the counter.

“Don't miss this chance to get aggressive! ”

“Yes!”

Angels' bench, on the other hand, did not change the atmosphere.

Because Woo Ji-wook, who changed and slept and had all the decision-making power at this moment, was doing nothing.

He did not advise or advise Lee Jin-yong by sending up a pitcher coach.

‘As my restraints fell, my stomach fell as well. ’

It was never because I was indifferent to binary.

‘And I'm pitching accordingly. ’

On the contrary, Lee Jin-yong was pitching close to the right answer, whether it was right for others.

Literally.

‘Instead of forcing the restraints, I keep putting the ball in John, caring about the reins. ’

Lee Jin-yong did not pitch a run because his restraints fell.

I still had an aggressive pitch.

‘And the course you put in avoids the low odds of batchers, the hot zone as much as possible. ’

At the same time, even if I put the ball in the Strike Zone, I was aiming for a relatively weak chance for the batsman.

In the Hot Zone and Strike Zone, poisonous batsmen were avoiding high odds.

‘And Bolnet is still zero. ’

Critically, Lee Jin-yong was right, but he didn't leave Bolt.

Pitching that doesn't give a ball net, pitching that gives a ball net a beating bar, and pitching where the batsman targets relatively poor odds.

What more advice do you need for this pitch?

‘Excellent.'

I'm amazed.

‘I don't intend to run away, even if I die on Mount. ’

Rather, the director of Group 2 wanted to see this pitch even more.

I wanted to see it personally, and I was hoping that the pitchers in the 2nd Army would see it and realize it.

‘Part 1 is the stage where the winners go up. Then we fight. ’

Of course, with that in mind, the director of Group 2 prepared the following:

No matter how hard Lee Jin-yong fought, he couldn't mount a pitcher that ran out of everything.

‘It's still 4-to-1. I'll pay you back for the one point car. ’

So the group 2 supervisor set the cut line and told the pitcher coach as soon as he set it.

“When binary dragons make 3 points, it is replaced. ”

“Yes.”

Baaak!

At that moment, the thrust begins to reach out into the open with another intense strike in the ground.

“Big, big. Are you moving on?”

“No, I don't think that's enough. ”

The ball flew into the glove of the right hand that moved all the way near the fence.

“Run!”

At that moment, a runner in 3rd Round sprints toward the groove.

It was a relaxing sprint, and Mars Rangers were successful in their second goal as a sacrificial fly.

“Okay.”

And it was the moment when Lee Jin-yong's face was shining brightly.

If anyone saw Lee Jin-yong's face, they had to tilt their heads.

In such a situation, when Lee Jin-yong captured the outcount against the sixth batsman encountered in the sixth time.

“Phew!”

Biggest cheer I've ever had for binary! I sighed for a long time looking up at the sky when I should have shouted.

I heard a voice with the ears of Jin Yong Lee.

[You have earned 55 points.]

[Flawless pitching ends in 5 Inning. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[Current cumulative point is 2,232 points.]

The Baseball Manager's voice.

[Activates Iron Arm.]

[HP +30.]

Lee Jin-yong smiled at the voice and replied.

“Phase three, Operation Name Showtime. ”

And Kim Jinho complained as always.

Damn watermelon bastards, I threw it like that, and it only cost me two points. Later, Jinyong went to work when Jin-yong finished. Why don't you come over here today?

So the two pitchers go down the mount.

Still not satisfied.
