Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 228: Dominating the Game
After Super Small Bay finished speaking, before An Jingzhen could fully digest these views, Inariichi immediately spoke up:

"There's another misunderstanding that's easy to fall into in this field."

As she spoke, a complex expression of irritation, annoyance, and regret appeared on her face:
"That is, once you become too obsessed with a domain, it's like falling into a swamp. If you're not careful, you'll be deeply trapped and unable to extricate yourself."

As she spoke, she clenched her fists, her whole state as if she was about to sprint at full speed, and the veins on her neck bulged:
“I didn’t know it was called a domain, but when I was running the Daily Crown with Oguruma, I felt that state was particularly powerful.

"As a result, in several subsequent matches, all I could think about was 'If I could get into that state, I would definitely be able to completely defeat Oguruma and the others.'

"The results of it……"

She shrugged helplessly, spread her hands, and showed a self-deprecating smile on her face:

“Lost.

“Very thorough…

“Lost.

"After that, I was quite lucky. Before the Arima Memorial, I met the representative Chiaki.

She suddenly changed the subject, and a powerful aura suddenly burst out from her short figure.

"That suits my taste very well, Senior.

"What common sense, what field, what state...

“Boring, uninteresting…

“It’s so boring and uninteresting!
"Shouldn't competitions allow you to run however you want, however you want to show off your skills, however you want to run boldly?

"Competitions...are supposed to be fun and exciting!"

Having suddenly raised her voice to this point, she suddenly lost her momentum, shrugged her shoulders again, spread her hands, and smiled:
"As a result, I just ran casually and ended up entering that so-called realm...

“Of course, I’ve had similar experiences before.

"It was just that time that it was so natural. I didn't think about what was going on at all. I just felt like I was running so happily and happily."

Then, as if unwilling to be outdone, Tamamo Cross spoke next.

"Actually, Brother Yasui should also know this. He should not be too obsessed with one field."

In response, Yasui Shin quickly nodded, and Tamamo Cross also nodded, and then continued:
"That's fine. I actually have some experience in this field. I remember writing down my notes. I gave them to Xiaoli before I left the country.

“When Xiaoli comes over later, let’s ask her and find time to give a copy of the notes to Anjing-san.

"Whether you want to use it or not, and whether you want to tell Kita no Xuanju-san, that all depends on you, Anjing-san."

At this time, Super Xiaohaiwan, who spoke first, also nodded.

"I have similar notes, but not about the field itself, but how to avoid the influence of such opponents by dominating the game.

"After that, I'll call home and prepare a copy for Mr. Yasui."

Yasui Shin was naturally very grateful for the enthusiasm of these horse racing girls.

In the following days, he studied the notes as soon as he received them.

At this moment, he briefly told Beifang Xuanju about these things and added an explanation:
"...I thought I'd first digest what I learned from Tamamo-san and the others, and then slowly share it with you.

"Now that we've done enough research, you happened to ask the question 'the reason for running'.

"I think it's time to put what I've written into those notes to use."

As he listened to An Jingzhen's story, Kitaguchi Xuanju's eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation.

After hearing this, she couldn't contain her excitement and asked anxiously:
"Shall we start trying out the seniors' notes tomorrow, Trainer?"

Yasui's gaze fell on the tablet on the dining table, the screen displaying the information about Wanlai Zhengming. He nodded thoughtfully. "Well, let's start with Super Bay-san's 'Dominate the Game' strategy."

……

"Dominate the game" may sound a bit mysterious at first, but after carefully reading the notes of Super Small Bay, Yasui Zhen quickly got the general idea.

In essence, it is still the idea of ​​"know yourself and know your enemy". Through a comprehensive understanding of the opponent, you can design the running method and strategy for the next game in a targeted manner.

It was just because of the notes that he discovered a negligence or habit of his past.

In the past, he always took on this job alone from the trainer's perspective, and most trainers did the same.

Xiao Haiwan's notes emphasized that for horse girls with good understanding, the effect of letting them participate in the preparation process is quite different from simply following the trainer's instructions.

Trainers and horse girls go through this process together, exchanging ideas with each other, which can significantly improve the actual effectiveness of running strategies.

Especially for games with longer schedules and stronger opponents, the effect of this coordinated preparation is more obvious.

Coincidentally, Yasui Shin thought that Kita no Genju was a very insightful horse girl.

In previous training and pre-match instructions, she would be able to react quickly in many situations as long as she was briefly told.

That provides the basis for the content of the application note.

So, during the next day's training schedule, Yasui Shin took time out to take Kita no Genju to watch the training of Arima Kinen's opponents.

The first object of observation is the cacophony of sounds.

Standing by the training ground, it wasn't long before Northern Xuanju was surprised.

Because completely different from the cool, casual and exaggerated appearance when we first met, Wan Lai Zhengming on the training ground exudes an extremely serious air, and every movement is focused and meticulous.

Hearing this comment, Yasui quickly nodded and patiently analyzed:
"Most outside comments... probably underestimate the melody of the universe.

"For example, uh... a title like 'Silver Collector'..."

Pulling the corner of his mouth awkwardly, he continued:
“But if you often get the second move, it depends on the type of game.

“The Kyoto Shimbun Cup is G2, the Kobe Shimbun Cup is also G2, and the Kyoto Grand Prix is ​​also G2.

“And the Chrysanthemum Award is G1.

"Being able to receive such a huge reward means that one's strength is at the forefront of the generation. Repeatedly achieving second place... is a bit unlucky.

"But it also shows that her ability is already among the best among her peers.

"Especially the chrysanthemum viewing."

Yasui Zhen's expression became serious.

"Xiaobei, you won the Chrysanthemum Award, so you should know what the finishing level of the competition means.

“The champion of her match, Toho Lone Wolf, broke the meet record by a full 1.7 seconds, and she also surpassed that record.

"I think you should have felt this strength very clearly."

Seeing that Kitaguchi Genju's expression had also become cautious, Yasui Shin nodded and pointed to the training ground.

“Then the conditions of these competitions can also reveal a lot.

"It's not just what I just said, in the competitions where Wanlai Zhengming performed well, most of them performed poorly and lost by a narrow margin.

"This shows that her final sprint and pursuit abilities are not bad, but she must have weaknesses in competing with her peers.

"This is something Arima Kinen will probably be able to use."
