"Why?"

Owada Akiko didn't understand.

The offense of the Seido High School baseball team just now is indeed very exciting to watch.

But it is precisely because I am so excited that everyone can imagine the danger contained in this.

She really couldn't understand why the Qingdao High School baseball team would take such a risk.

After all, as long as it is Zhang Han's turn to hit the game, even if there is no way to win the home run cleanly, an ordinary hit is still very sure.

There are people on the base, and Zhang Han has almost never missed.

In this case, what reason do the players of the Seido High School baseball team have to take such an adventure?

She was puzzled, so she asked the question.

Fujio, who was sitting next to her, nodded knowingly, and then explained.

"The Seido High School baseball team is to put pressure on the players in Chukyo."

Pressure?

Although Owada Akiko at this time is no longer the original baseball novice, she still has no way to understand the words of her predecessors.

What pressure was exerted? Why do you put pressure on it?

"If the current situation is one out and there is someone on third base, what do you think the pitchers and players in Nakakyo will do?"

Owada Akiko stared at her big Kazlan eyes, pondered for a moment, and the answer immediately appeared in her mind.

"Escort..."

There were people on third base, and the bags on first and second base were all empty.

Whether it is for the initial situation, or to escape the strong baseball of the Qingdao High School baseball team, they have a very high probability of sending off the Qingdao High School baseball team one after another, and the next two hitters on the court.

Zhang Han and Tetsuya Yuuki.

"This is Koshien Stadium, so if you send the players, it will affect ......."

Owada Akiko blurted out, but then she stopped talking herself.

She suddenly realized that the probability of such a possibility was really not low.

This is indeed the Koshien arena, and it is indeed humiliating to escort the opponent's beater at the beginning of the game.

But it also depends on who the opponent is?

If it's Zhang Han or Tetsuya Yuki, these are the top fighters in the country who have long been famous.

It's not so hard to understand how a pitcher reacts when the team needs it.

"It's because this is Koshien that the players are more cautious. Without complete certainty, Zhongjing's pitchers will not face off against Zhang Han or Yuuki. ”

Not only the players from Chukyo, but almost all the teams that made it to Koshien were much more conservative than before.

They can't afford to embarrass themselves......

Even if you lose the game, try not to let yourself appear embarrassed on TV.

This thought is a common problem in the hearts of almost all the players who participate in Koshien.

In front of tens of thousands of fans at the scene and tens of millions of fans in front of the TV......

What they need to show, or what they want to show themselves, is the best side of themselves.

In such a situation, how can they challenge themselves too much to something they are not sure of?

"The Qingdao High School baseball team has long been used to it, and the two core hitters of their team will be escorted to this kind of thing. After all, even teams like Daocheng and Pharmacist didn't dare to let go of their hands and feet to face them head-on. Not to mention other opponents......"

"Because of this, in order for the core hitters of their own team to be able to play to their strengths, the rest of their team has to learn to judge the situation. Ryosuke Kominato doesn't necessarily have no way to score a hit, and Yoichi Kuramochi doesn't necessarily risk hitting home plate. The reason why they did this is to create the situation in front of them. ”

One person is out, and there is no one on the base.

This is equivalent to a ruthless general of the Zhongjing Dazhongjing First Army.

Now there are no runners on the base, and they still have an out.

"If this situation is in this situation, there is no way for Zhongjing's pitchers to face Zhang Han or Yuuki head-on. It was an absolutely devastating blow for their sixteen or seventeen-year-olds. ”

High school players, even if they are mature giants, are inevitably young people.

Once the team plays smoothly, the combat effectiveness and fighting will they can burst out are not even worse than those of professional players.

Once the team encounters difficulties, they lose the confidence to win, and the team that is originally very strong may also be beaten to the ground.

"Zhongjing Dazhongjing has no choice, and at this time he can only face the fighter head-on."

And all this was obviously planned by the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

The battle between the two has not officially begun, and it is already clear who is better.

"It is worthy of the team that won the championship of the Kanto Conference, and the momentum is really different."

Nakyo's ace pitcher, Cross Country, clearly sensed the malice that erupted from the Seido High School baseball team.

They are forcing themselves to confront Zhang Han head-on.

"But that's fine, I can't ask for it for a long time!"

Seido High School baseball team is known as the strongest player in the country.

Zhang Han is known as the first contestant in the second grade.

In fact, everyone who understands knows in their hearts that the reason why the reporter who interviewed Zhang Han said that was that he did not remove the premise of the second grade.

The main thing is the fear of complaints.

When he reported this name, in the heart of that reporter, I am afraid that Zhang Han was already regarded as the strongest player in today's high school baseball world.

As a star pitcher in high school, such an opponent, with cross-country in his heart, has long been known to have fought against each other many times.

He has always longed to meet Zhang Han, to meet the Qingdao High School baseball team, and to see the strongest hitter in the strongest playing line in the country.

Now his wish is finally coming true.

"I can't wait for a long time, so I'll let you take a good look at my pitching."

The cheering sound of the surrounding friends is as if I didn't hear it off-road.

All his attention at this time was already on Zhang Han's body.

Until......

"Hansang..."

"That little white face is nothing remarkable, let's defeat him like this."

Little white face?

Of course, this little white face does not mean that he is handsome, after all, standing with Zhang Han, he is not up to the level of the little white face.

So the little white face is literally meaningful, saying that his face is pale and bloodless.

And this is off-road, and there is no way to tolerate it anyway.

"Where's the nasty guy!"

Crossing the country to find prestige, I saw a first-year player with a bright smile in the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

"It turned out to be a substitute..."

The opponent is a first-year player, but now he is able to represent the Seido High School baseball team in Koshien, and there is no doubt about his potential and ability.

It's just that I don't like it.

"You'd better pray that you don't play, or you're going to make your kid look good."

Having made up his mind in his heart, he turned around and duel with Zhang Han wholeheartedly.

In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the friends were very happy.

"The other party's trump card seems to hear you?"

"No, it's so far away......"

Eijun Sawamura felt incredible.

To be honest, the straight-line distance between the two sides is indeed not close.

It's just that his voice is too loud, and with good off-road ear power, he really heard it.

And at this time, I also knew in my heart that the Qingdao runners who had similar thoughts were probably not just the first grade.

They all have strong confidence in Zhang Han, and they believe that as long as Zhang Han makes a move, it will be a matter of time to solve themselves.

"Then let me deal a good blow to your inflated self-confidence."

All the duels can solve Zhang Han.

Off-road is not so sure.

There is no vanity under the fame.

As far as Zhang Han's fame is concerned, it can be said that he is a straw bag with no fame, a weak person who does not deserve his name.

Kill off-road, he doesn't believe it.

But at the same time, he also didn't believe that Zhang Han was really the strongest high school student in the country, as touted by the outside world.

Even if Zhang Han has a lot of home plates now, he has even broken a lot of records......

But this kind of thing, in addition to strength, is sometimes closely related to luck.

A very important reason why Zhang Han's achievements are so outstanding is because of his luck.

For example, Zhang Han is only a second-year player, but he has participated in dozens of official games on behalf of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

At the same time, there are some players, even if they play in the third grade, and the official matches they actually participate in are only a dozen.

No matter how strong their individual abilities are, it is difficult for them to really stand out under such a selection system.

"Just let me take a good look!"

Determined to go cross-country, he opened the posture and threw the baseball in his hand.

The characteristics of this pitcher are very similar to those of Kawakami.

Although he is not a side pitcher and uses the regular way of pitching, the baseball thrown should be like a missile with a set trajectory.

Wherever to hit!

At the beginning, he aimed at the limit of the inside corner, forcing Zhang Han to have no way to shoot at this ball.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!!"

For the first ball, Zhang Han watched the baseball fly in front of him.

Those supporters of Zhongjing in the stands burst out with great hope in their eyes.

At first, they were also very nervous.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

In recent months, Zhang Han's fame has been thunderous in the high school baseball world.

Although his ace strength is good, Narumiya Ming, who is known as the strongest pitcher of this year, still seems to be a little less interesting.

Cheng Gongming didn't stop Zhang Han, does their team's ace really have that kind of strength?

If you ask yourself, they don't know anything in their hearts.

Until now, I have seen that their ace pitcher is not at a disadvantage in the head-to-head confrontation with Zhang Han.

On the contrary, it vaguely occupies a few advantages.

These supporters, who were originally worried, began to cheer for their family's trump card one by one as if they had come back to life.

A little Zhang Han is just a little Zhang Han, who is lucky to fight for such a big reputation.

But after careful consideration, they found that it didn't seem to be a big deal.

As long as they can unite as one, as long as their family's trump card can give full play to their strength.

"It's not easy to solve Zhang Han."

"Whoosh!"

The second ball is the limit of the low angle on the edge of the outside corner.

With only two goals, the essence of the diagonal kick was brought into full play.

The ability to control the ball in cross-country gave the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team goosebumps.

"It's really similar to Yang Sunsin!"

"The ball is faster than ......"

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were very surprised.

When I was researching Zhongjing's information before, in fact, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team already knew that the strength of Zhongjing's ace pitcher was very good.

After all, to be able to become a star ace pitcher in the region, how can he not have two brushes?

They even deduced that perhaps the strength shown by the other party was very similar to that of Yang Sunsin.

For the friends of Qingdao High School baseball, this is already a high evaluation.

The ace of Mingchuan School Park,But he once competed with the Qingdao High School baseball team for a long time by himself.。 The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have a very high evaluation of Yang Sunsin.

They think that the strength of off-road may be comparable to Yang Sunsin, and this evaluation is also very high.

But Qingdao friends just think so, and they obviously don't really think that off-road can compare to Yang Sunsin.

They just look at their opponents as high as they can.

I didn't expect that when the real competition came, the players in Zhongjing would give them such a big surprise.

Especially the ace of their team.

made Zhang Han fail to make a move twice.

Sawamura Eijun, who had just released his bold words, subconsciously licked his chapped lips.

He is Zhang Han's first blow in the Qingdao High School baseball team, a hardcore little fan brother.

Therefore, before Zhang Han and Cross Country officially fought, he firmly stood on Zhang Han's side, thinking that Senior Zhang Han would hit the opponent's ball as easily as probing for something.

But now, he was suddenly surprised to find that what he saw in front of him seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

That little white face, that little white face that was pale and looked like it had grown out of a serious illness.

It's so fierce when you throw the ball.

They were aiming at the corners, and even if they were so far away, they could feel how far the two balls were in a straight line.

With such a sharp diagonal, even Zhang Han can't shoot directly?

"I didn't expect this little white face to be able to suppress Hansang?"

He sighed incredulously.

The other friends also frowned tightly.

At the beginning, Kuramochi and Ryosuke Kominato touched the ball out one after another.

Although they are all short hits, it is so easy to touch the ball, and the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team take it for granted.

Nakyo's ace pitcher, it may be nothing more than that.

If the first and second sticks can be touched so easily, just wait for Zhang Han and Yuki to play, and they will definitely let the turtles in Zhongjing know that the beaters are terrifying.

But now, those friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were surprised to find out.

The strength of the other party does not seem to be as simple as they imagined.

……

"When the other party faced off against Kuramochi and Ryosuke Kominato, he didn't show all his strength."

Although I don't know what the specific reason is? But seeing the pitching of the cross country now, the people of the Seido High School baseball team can easily make inferences.

It is very likely that off-road is the one who watches the dishes of the guests.

Where do they know? Off-road was smart at the beginning, but it was mistaken by cleverness.

In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the faces of the friends are ugly.

The ability that the other party suddenly showed obviously exceeded their previous judgment.

It's so different from what they think!

"I didn't expect that Zhang Han would also be suppressed?"

Some friends couldn't help but mutter.

You must know that Zhang Han is omnipotent in the minds of almost all players in the Qingdao High School baseball team.

The opponent's strength is very good, and the form is surprisingly good.

The two balls are basically hung in the dead corner, so that the hitter has no way to shoot at all. These things, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team can see clearly.

They can also understand the reason why Zhang Han can't make a shot in the face of such a ball.

It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing to have a loss in your heart.

Zhang Han didn't even swing the stick twice, they still had some ideas in their hearts.

"Forced, didn't make a move?"

Yukiichi also glanced at his senior in surprise, and he didn't know how he was selected?

I don't understand it at all!

Where was Zhang Han forced to move?

Is he testing the strength of the other party?

Zhang Han didn't make a move twice in a row, and those die-hard supporters in Zhongjing were frowning one by one, as if they had already solved Zhang Han.

As everyone knows, their team's trump card, at this time, their brows are about to wrinkle into pimples.

No matter which corner he threw the ball to, Zhang Han didn't move.

It seems that these balls can't shake him at all.

"It's worthy of Zhang Han!"

He became the main player of the giants in his first year, and now he has become the core of the team, and he is even close to hitting the top 10 in the history of home runs.

Thinking of Zhang Han's record, his current calm performance doesn't seem to be difficult to understand.

"Is it just one home run away to finish in the top 10?"

Thinking of Zhang Han's home run record, he felt that endless power surged in his body.

He knew very well in his heart that Zhang Han, who was only in the second grade, had reached the top 10 in history, and even further.

It's all a matter of time.

He couldn't handle it.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't intend to care.

"I don't care when you break the record after that, but you must not take it from me."

"Whoosh!"

Cross-country squeezed all the strength in his body, pressed all the strength of his body on the two fingers of his throwing, and threw the baseball in his hand fiercely.

The white baseball was like a streamer of light, and it instantly appeared in the strike zone.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were surprised when they saw it.

"So fast!"

This ball is faster than every ball before it.

They never thought that this man called off-road would still have such a powerful power hidden in his body?

At the same time, Zhang Han, who was standing in the strike zone, raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It's so slow!"

He grabbed the bat in his hand tightly with both hands, calculated the trajectory, and swung it out.

"Ping!"

The bat hit the white ball hard, and then the white ball flew over a distance of 100 meters and smashed into the stands in the outfield under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes on the scene.

"Smack!"

……
