With the addition of two newcomers, the total number of players in the first team of the Seido High School baseball team has reached 22.

And that's not all.

Coach Ochiai, who is in charge of coaching the freshmen and the second army, promised everyone in person that before the summer tournament, the other players will have at least one chance to advance.

As for the chance to advance this time, who will get the spot?

It depends on how they perform during this period, especially in practice games.

Although the pie drawn by Coach Ochiai is big and tempting, everyone knows in their hearts that this opportunity only belongs to players who have now entered the first or second army.

If you haven't entered the Second Army, then I'm sorry, the last chance won't fall on you anyway.

In the following Golden Week, the rest of the school students were on vacation, but the players of the baseball team were waiting for the game.

The players of the first army will get on the team's bus and travel to four counties and districts for eight practice matches.

Nowadays, the gap between the big teams and the average team is getting wider and wider.

This is particularly important for two reasons.

On the one hand, there is the special enrollment system.

Looking at the Qingdao High School baseball team's shot against Zhang Han, you can basically compare it, and there is a huge difference in student origin between ordinary schools and wealthy schools.

To put it bluntly, ordinary schools are not qualified to compete with wealthy colleges and universities.

On the other hand, there is capital and resources.

The training facilities of the giant colleges and universities themselves are no worse than those of professional baseball teams.

How can schools that don't even have pitching machines on baseball teams compete with each other?

There is also a big gap in resources, so this Golden Week, in the face of the upcoming Kanto Games, the Seido High School baseball team will go to the areas where the Kanto Games will be held, and play against the strong teams in those regions.

Although, these teams are also eliminated. But who knows better about the style of their region's best schools than their teams in the same district?

The results of the practice tournament can also be used as a reference for the competition before the Kanto Convention.

What is this like?

It's kind of like a mock exam.

Mock exams are not important? Of course it's important.

But the reality is that not every school has such qualifications to take mock exams.

This requires the support of capital, as well as the resources of the school itself.

Qingdao High School has reached the pinnacle in this regard.

After a morning car, the friends rushed to Chiba in the afternoon, and after a simple lunch, a long-prepared practice competition arrived as scheduled.

As the main player, Zhang Han took the lead.

Served as the team's fourth baseman.

The little friends in the rest area are whispering.

"Do you feel that Hansang's appearance today is particularly scary?"

"Do you feel that way, too? I thought it was my own delusion, but I didn't even dare to say a word to him on the bus. ”

"I don't know if something happened to Hansang?"

"If you have the ability, you can ask, I don't dare anyway."

"Say it like I dare? Am I the kind of person who dares to do so? ”

The friends basically feel that today's Zhang Han looks different from usual.

But what's the difference? They couldn't tell.

In short, it's just different!

"Today's opponent, I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky."

One person is out, one or three bases are available.

At the beginning of the game, the Seido High School baseball team showed extraordinary attacking power.

Chiba's pitcher, his forehead has begun to get wet.

He felt like he was under so much pressure!

The guy who hit the first batter was so fast that it was almost inhuman, and before they could react, the opponent trotted to first base.

In fact, the ball he hit was not so flawless. But with his speed, it suddenly turned into an unsolvable hit.

And that's not all, when the pitcher threw the first ball, Kuramochi stole the base, like a predatory cheetah, and trotted straight to second base.

No one is out, there are people on second base.

The Qingdao High School baseball team, as if it was not satisfied, actually let the second batter use a short hit to escort at this time.

With that runner's speed, is there a difference between him on second and third base?

At the beginning, Chiba's players really didn't understand what the players of the Seido High School baseball team wanted to do?

Of course, soon they knew.

The runner was never aiming for third base, and he started early in the morning.

When the ball passes to first base, he prepares to go over third base and go straight to home plate.

Fortunately, Chiba's players didn't eat dry food, and passed the ball back one step in advance, and the opponent could only return to third base in disgrace.

One person is out, and there is someone on third base.

In the face of a hit, or even a high-flying or rolling ball, it is possible to lose points.

Chiba's pitcher was a little panicked.

He gritted his back molars and prepared to strike out his opponent with a corner change ball.

I didn't expect that guy who was not tall and didn't look strong would have a monster-level vision for ball selection.

Even if it was a little off the ball with the good ball, he didn't shoot.

As a result, after seven balls, the opponent was sent to first base.

So there is this scene in front of me, one person is out, and there are people on one or third base.

So far, the pitcher has pitched 11 balls.

When it comes to the number of pitches alone, it's not that much.

However, in the course of the showdown with the Seido High School baseball team, the pitcher felt the terrifying pressure of facing the mountains.

Every player on the Qingdao High School baseball team became unusually tall in his eyes, with green fangs.

They all had cold smiles, ready to eat themselves alive at any moment.

"This feeling is really penetrating! Is this the pressure brought by the national top giant Qingdao High School baseball team? ”

Chiba's pitcher, constantly doing psychological construction for himself.

In the next process of facing Zhang Han, he did not choose to escort because there was still an empty base bag.

Instead, they chose a head-to-head showdown.

"No matter how strong they are, they are sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school students just like us. There's no reason why we should lose..."

The pitcher faced Zhang Han's first shot and threw his full strength.

His partner's eyes lit up when he saw the ball.

Very good! Well done!

In the face of the terrifying pressure caused by the crazy offense of the Qingdao High School baseball team, his partner did not intimidate.

Not only did he not coerce, but he threw his best form.

The speed of this straight ball must be more than 140 kilometers...

It's such a tricky position again.

To put it bluntly, it was a very high standard goal.

In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, Miyuki, who was changing his equipment and preparing to go on the field, suddenly widened his pupils.

What did he see?

When Chiba's pitcher faced Zhang Han, the first ball actually used a straight ball from the inside corner?

Haven't they ever seen the video of their Seido High School baseball team before?

How dare they?

In the strike zone, Zhang Han raised his foot and stepped out.

He originally hit in a fixed position, but after seeing the opponent use a straight ball, he took back the foot that stepped forward and stepped out again.

On the one hand, he readjusts his striking stance, and on the other hand, he also uses the inertia of rushing forward to enhance the power of his swing.

"Hum~"

Chiba's catcher, he felt like a flower in front of his eyes.

Then he saw that when the bat was about to enter the good ball belt, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of it.

And then......

"Ping!"

The bat hit the center of the ball and sturdily knocked the ball away.

The small white ball soared into the sky, directly over the protective net, and flew out I don't know how far.

"Three-pointer, home run !!"
