Time has passed in a blink of an eye, a month. Wang Peng is riding the motorcycle that his father Wang Jianjun took him to buy yesterday. That's right, it is "motorcycle".
Because Wang Peng used motorcycles as a means of transportation on the grassland. After all, grassland cannot withstand the crushing of cars. Herdsmen usually ride motorcycles for trivial trips.
When Wang Peng went to school in Qili, if he rode a horse, there was no way to raise a horse in Qili. The school that Wang Peng attended was also on the edge of Qili. As long as you don't ride to a bustling place, no one cares.
Most of the classmates who lived on the grassland around me also rode motorcycles to and from school when they were young! It's not that no one cares, but that there is no way. There are only a few schools around tens of kilometers, including elementary school to high school. Although the school provides accommodation, Xiang Wang Peng, who is not too far away, rides to school by himself.
Besides, California is not cold and you can ride a bike in all seasons. So when Wang Peng got his driver's license, he didn't rush to buy a car, but took the motorcycle driver's license test.
Yesterday, I was at a second-hand car dealership with my father Wang Jianjun. Bought a Wang Peng's Dream car Harley Fat Boy. A high school student, riding a Harley, wears a well-crafted but simple-patterned leather jacket, with a studded half helmet on his head. But it seems a bit uncoordinated to carry a large sports satchel!
And this Harley fat boy produced in 2008, although it is second-hand. But there are more than 10,000 dollars, and the insurance is close to 20,000 dollars. Enough to buy a nice used car. The father and two rode the car home and quickly replaced the brakes, engine oil, chain, carburetor, battery, and the oil circuit and electric circuit of the whole car. At this point, the father and I simply checked the engine and gearbox according to the manual, and it was already early in the morning after all the tossing. Let this car that has driven more than 70,000 kilometers in six years come back to life!
Wang Peng drove the car into the school and immediately became the focus of everyone. After all, there are not many high school students riding Harleys. Fortunately, this car has an adjustable exhaust pipe, and the exhaust pipe is adjusted to the smallest sound before entering the campus. Otherwise, with this carburetor version of the fat boy, there will be a deafening sound of horseshoes when it starts. Before entering the school gate, he had to be called by the principal to talk!
Wang Peng watched enviously as everyone parked his motorcycle and walked into the classroom. With the economic conditions of the students in this high school, there are not a few people who drive sports cars.
But Wang Peng, who rides a Harley, has only seen two or three, and one of them was ridden by Wang Peng's chemistry teacher. Wang Peng didn't see who the other one was, because every time that person rode a bike, he wore a mask on his face and had a large Ray-Ban sunglasses stuck on his eyes. Wang Peng didn't even ask who it was!
Today, Wang Peng purposely didn't go to Hernandez's horse for a ride after class. Usually whenever I have a chance, I will go to the stables to rub the horses and ride the horses twice. The girl Nancy who often gets on the school bus is the one who always likes to be shy and a little shy! I thought it was because Wang Peng liked her! Every time I saw Wang Peng, I was only shy, and my skin was very fair. Seeing Wang Peng blushing, people can see it directly.
After class, Wang Peng directly carried his sports bag. Straight to the pitch. This month's basic training almost made Wang Peng vomit! ! Infield practice is carried out every day, and the pass to the backup pitcher is practiced every day. Drilling from the infield slam to the home plate pass, the second base to first base pass. three hmm. Oh. The base-to-first base pass, the pinch ball the pitcher throws to first base, the third base-like first base pass. There were even long throws from the outfield to first base.
Wang Peng felt that the whole stadium was full of huh. Ok. Ok. Fielders, all throwing the ball to him. Over the past month, Wang Peng's catch has become more and more stable. But the fielder's various jumps, defenses, blocks, and kills. Help kill. It is not something that a person who has just been in touch with baseball for a month can master in a short time.
Wang Peng still insisted on watching a replay of a professional baseball game during his lunch break! This also solved the problem that Wang Peng didn't have to look for a place to rest after lunch.
After all, this school does not have one classroom per class and one seat per student like in China. Here, the classrooms are fully open at noon, but individual small classrooms will be occupied by some student associations or study groups, and large multi-purpose classrooms. It's like a vegetable market when it's lunch break! I can't stop for a while.
Later, it was Aaron who inadvertently saw Wang Peng holding an ipad outside at noon and watching the game video.
So Wang Peng was led to the locker room of the baseball team. When he got to the team locker room, Wang Peng realized that no wonder he couldn't see his teammates in the multi-purpose classroom. So it's all here!
After that, Wang Peng finished his lunch. Just go to the team locker room to rest! The locker room of the school team is quite large. A team of 25 people has a dressing room of about 100 square meters, and there are not many people at noon.
After all, some people don't spend every day in the locker room. Usually only half of the people are in the locker room at noon! It is said that the locker room of the rugby team is bigger, but Wang Peng does not intend to visit it!
Before the start of the game, Coach Mark arranged today's lineup.
A great center fielder. Aaron Schiller. left hit
Two bats and third baseman. justin. Loew. hit right
Three-stick left fielder. Kyle. Kingsley hit left
Four-stick second baseman Malvin. Gonzalez hits right
Five bats first baseman. Carey. Eugene. left hit
Six catchers. Manny. Fosser hits right
Seven-bat third baseman. steve. jack right hit
Eight pitchers. Fred. marazzi. hit right
Nine-stick right fielder. Kevin. keller right hit
Today, Coach Mark formed an unconventional strike lineup for the 91st line! The first six bats are a regular set of zigzag hits.
According to the coach's pre-match arrangement, Wang Peng will play after seven innings.
After all, today is a practice match, and most of the team will be on the field. To feel the feeling of the game on the field. Today's opponent is a public school called Great Lakes High School. Because the two schools are less than an hour's drive away.
The two schools often hold such warm-up practice matches. Today's referee is the minor league referee team from 2A. And the two line referees are amateur referees that everyone is relatively familiar with.
The game started today because it was played at the home court of the Technical High School. So the home team kicks off first, Great Lakes hits first, and today's starter, Fred, is a right-hander. There are three types of pitches, namely, the four-point line, the slider and the changeup.
Fred is a pitcher who is mainly good at handling the ball, although the ball speed of the straight ball is about 90 miles or 145 kilometers. But the best shot is an 85-mile slider, which is 137 kilometers. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com His slider has obvious lateral displacement! Equipped with a changeup ball with 82 miles and 132 kilometers.
So Fred is a fairly mature pitcher in high school. The American high school league, which mainly uses wood bats, is a very suppressive pitcher!
After kicking off, Fred threw the first ball of today's game with a "snap".
In the cheering sound of Wang Peng, the game progressed to the second half of the sixth inning and the score came to 7:6. Manny, the sixth bat catcher of the technical high school, hit a ground ball on his third strike and was defeated by The opponent's third baseman received a back pass to first base and was blocked out!
At the end of the sixth inning, Fred hurriedly put on the catcher's protective gear. The game started the seventh inning, and under the arrangement of coach Mark, Wang Peng came on the field to replace Steve, the seventh third baseman. Jack. Wang Peng went to first base and the original first baseman Kyrie. Eugene goes to third base!
And the newly replaced substitute pitcher Herman quickly struck out and doubled to end the last half of the seventh inning. And that double kill has nothing to do with Wang Peng. The opponent's three-stick hitter directly hit the pitcher's frontal flat fly ball with a push, because the ball rolled too slowly!
The opponent ran out to double base, and then the opponent's fourth bat attacked the pitcher's outside corner. Without pulling power, it became a frontal fly ball by the second baseman. He directly caught the glove, but the opponent's three sticks did not expect the ball to land.
A shortstop caught on a second baseman's pass goes directly to second base, before the bag. The next five-bat was struck out directly by Hermann. The first half of the seventh inning is over. Offensive and defensive exchanges.
In the second half of the seventh inning, Wang Peng, the home team's seventh batter, started to play, and Wang Peng had already started warming up in the hitting waiting area. After the warming up was over. Wang Peng took his protective gear and walked to the right strike zone. Get ready for your first at bat of your baseball career! ! !
