MTL - When God Begins To Evolve Again-Chapter 21 Butterfly Ball
In the third round, only Jin Zhenhuan and the administrators were left, the others had already withdrawn from the trial, and even the bandits had already left.
As an ordinary tester, the only one who did not leave was Rhodes.
Kim Jin-hwan and the administrators were in even numbers. They could form a team with each other. In the end, only Li Xiu and Rhode were left, and they were forced to form a team.
Li Xiu has already drawn twice. If this time he is in a draw with Rhodes, the next trial will be a mandatory life-and-death confrontation.
There is only one chance. If it is a pitcher, it is fine, but if it is a batter, Li Xiu has a very high chance of dying.
What's more, Li Xiu's opponent in the next match will probably be Kim Jin-hwan. As a batter, he is almost certain to lose.
So no matter how you look at it, Li Xiu can only win but not lose in this trial, not even a draw.
"Brother, your level is good, and you used to be a professional?" Rhodes came to Li Xiu's side and chatted casually.
"No." Li Xiu closed his eyes and rested, waiting for his trial to begin.
"I'm not a professional pitcher. It's rare to be able to control the ball so well. It's not difficult to cross the ball. After a period of practice, most people can throw a similar cross ball. But that kind of cross ball is useless. The speed of the ball is inherently slower than the average ball speed. How to improve the speed of the cross ball and precise control is the key to the cross ball. Like the guy who shot the cross ball before, he almost missed the strike zone , that kind of control is not worthy of being called a finger ball..." Rhode said to himself.
"What on earth are you trying to say?" Li Xiu interrupted Rhodes.
"I want to say that we are all playing with technology, and there is no need to kill each other. If we are serious about winning and losing, then it is very likely that both sides will suffer, and no one will survive." Rhodes said.
"Do you think I can trust you?" Li Xiu looked at Rhodes and said.
"Of course you can, but you can only trust me," Rhode said.
"Why?" Li Xiu looked at Rhodes with interest. He wanted to know where Rhodes' confidence came from.
"In addition to the finger ball, I'm also good at flicking the finger ball." Rhode lowered his voice and said to Li Xiu.
He thought that Li Xiu understood what it meant to flick the ball, but Li Xiu didn't understand it at all, so he could only watch Rhodes without speaking.
Seeing that Li Xiu didn't speak, Rhode thought that Li Xiu was weighing the pros and cons, so he continued: "You should know very well that the flick of the ball doesn't even know where the pitcher will fly, and it scrambles up and down erratically. Although it has a nice name called Butterfly Ball, but for professional players, this thing is a nightmare. Not only the batter can only guess blindly, even the catcher can only rely on the blind catch. If you must and I If we decide the outcome, I will throw the butterfly ball, and let’s just resign.”
"It sounds like a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to seeing the butterfly ball you mentioned." Li Xiu said to Rhodes.
Rhodes was a little stunned. He thought that he was also a professional baseball player. Li Xiu should be able to understand what he meant. He didn't expect Li Xiu to say such a thing.
"Do you think I dare not? Do you know that apart from professional players, I'm still a gambler, and my favorite is gambling." Rhode's eyes became sharp.
"That's the best way. I'm looking forward to your ability to throw a butterfly ball." Li Xiu said the truth, he really wanted to see what Rhode said about the butterfly ball.
"Okay, then let's see." There was no need to talk any more, Rhode turned around and left, and sat down on the other side of the steps.
Soon, the third round of trials began, and there were not a few groups left. They were still feeding each other the ball to get one point each. Soon it was Li Xiu and Rhodes' turn.
This time, Li Xiu stood in the pitcher's position first, and Rhodes, who was in the batter's position, shouted to Li Xiu again: "You can think about it again, I can let you go first."
"Don't think about it, it's all up to your ability." Li Xiu moved the joints of his body, ready to start pitching.
"What kind of ball will he throw? A cross ball? A curve ball?
Although he is known as eagle-eyed and possesses dynamic vision that is unattainable for ordinary people, it is one thing to be able to see, and it is another to be able to judge in time.
At the moment when the opponent throws the ball, it is not easy to judge what ball the opponent throws and swing the bat in time.
Especially in the face of someone like Li Xiu who is good at changing the ball, and his incomprehensible self-confidence, Rhodes couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Why is he so confident? Even if I took the initiative to let him have a ball, he has to share life and death with me. Although it is just a nonsense to fool him, where does the source of his confidence come from? Whether it is a cross ball or a curve The ball, with the speed he throws, I should have a chance to touch it. But his confidence seems to be 100% sure, what kind of ball will give him that confidence?"
Thinking about it, Rhode's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be that he also throws butterfly balls? Want to bet luck with me?"
The more Rhode thought about it, the more right he became~www.novelbuddy.com~ Besides, he really couldn't figure out why Li Xiu was so confident.
The physical qualities of the two are similar, and Rhodes also has super dynamic vision. Except for the unpredictable butterfly ball, there are no **** that Rhodes has no confidence to hit.
"By the way, it must be a butterfly ball." Rhodes already had a judgment in his heart.
Li Xiu had already threw the ball over. The speed of the ball flying in the air was a little slow. Butterfly ball was the slowest way to throw the ball, which made Rhodes more firm in his judgment.
"Do you pretend to be throwing a fork ball? It's useless. You've already been seen through by me. Since you want to bet with me, let's take a bet." Rhode was so gambled that he knew that the butterfly ball could not be predicted. Trajectory, even if he is Hawkeye, it is useless, he can only gamble.
Rhode swung his bat suddenly and chose to hit the ball downward. Since it was all a bet on luck, going a little further down would prevent Li Xiu from throwing a fork ball instead of a butterfly ball.
But when Rhodes swung the bat, he already felt something was wrong, because the flying baseball didn't sway wildly and irregularly. It didn't look like it was a butterfly ball.
"It doesn't matter, it's useless to cross the ball, I can hit it as well." The bat has been swung out, and it's useless to think about anything, Rhodes can only swing hard.
But when the ball came to him, Rhode's whole body seemed to be petrified, his face full of shock and incomprehension.
"Why...why is it such a slow straight ball...there is no change at all..." Rhodes watched helplessly as the ball flew over the top of the bat and hit the boxed area like that.
From a bystander's point of view, it was as if Li Xiu threw a soft, weak straight ball, but Rhodes deliberately missed it.
