Chapter 29: A New Strike Record (Part 1)

"Three outs, offensive and defensive exchanges!"

The offense of the Qingdao High School baseball team in the first half of the fourth inning was over.

Although in this inning, they scored a home run, achieved a huge breakthrough from zero to one, and shattered the myth that Tokyo Prince Narumi Narumi was invincible.

However, the predicament faced by the Qingdao High School baseball team has not been alleviated in the slightest.

In the stands, those supporters who supported the Seido High School baseball team did not know when they began, and their voices could not be heard at all.

Only the girls standing at the front were still stubbornly shouting Zhang Han's name.

Maybe for these innocent girls, it doesn't matter who wins or loses in today's game? As long as Zhang Han, who they support, can perform well, it is enough.

In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team.

The players' faces were as black as the bottom of the pot, and they looked at the rest area of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, as if they were going to skin each other alive.

"Damn!"

Kuramochi kicked the ground beneath his feet in annoyance.

Today's game made him very depressed. Originally, I thought it was against a defeated opponent during the Kanto Convention, but if it wasn't easier than the Kanto Tournament, it shouldn't be more difficult than the Kanto Tournament, right?

During this period of time, the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School has indeed improved a lot. But the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are not idle, they are also using their skills to improve during this time.

"How did it turn out like this?"

Kuramochi doesn't understand, and many of the friends on the Qingdao High School baseball team are also confused.

Their second round of attack was about to end, but they never got the results they wanted.

1

As a result, the next game was also greatly affected.

Four first-grade elementary school brothers, honest like good babies.

When the team encounters difficulties, they are not in a hurry in their hearts, nor do they want to play and share with their seniors.

But after seeing the duel just now, these junior brothers know better than anyone that even if they play, I'm afraid it will be difficult to perform.

The strength of the two sides of the duel is too strong!

Not only the players of Daocheng Industry, but their own predecessors also performed fiercely not like humans.

No matter how confident a few juniors are in their own strength, they obviously don't think that they can do better than the seniors by letting them play at this time.

Even the arrogant and ignorant Sawamura Eijun, after seeing Zhang Han's pitching, did not dare to shout that his pitching was better.

He didn't even dare to run to the side to practice throwing as loudly as he had before.

That's the way he shows his presence, and it's even a very good way.

But no matter how good the way is, it depends on when and who he will replace?

The performance of Sawamura Eijun and other elementary school students can basically be regarded as a microcosm of the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team.

And this is the impact of Cheng Gongming's pitching just now.

Coach Ochiai, who was touching his mustache, had a fine layer of sweat oozing from his forehead unconsciously.

He had felt very strange before, why did Superintendent Kataoka, who was so good at inciting people, never have a way to lead Seido High School to help the team enter Koshien?

You must know the background of the Qingdao High School baseball team, but it is very good. Coupled with the strict guidance of Kataoka's supervision, even if they can't become the overlord of Nishitokyo, it will not be difficult to break into Koshien once in a while.

After all, when they played against other giants, they were not at an extreme disadvantage, but won and lost each other.

In the end, the only reasonable explanation that Coach Ochiai found for himself was probably that Kataoka supervised him, and it may have been bad luck......

But now, Coach Ochiai suddenly has a new discovery, and perhaps this is the real reason why Superintendent Kataoka has been unable to lead the Seido High School baseball team to Koshien for a long time.

Their opponents are too strong!

This place in West Tokyo is too evil!

The current Seido High School baseball team, although Superintendent Kataoka is still not very satisfied. But in terms of conscience, in line with their own judgment, this team obviously has the strength to dominate the country.

As for whether he will be able to win Koshien in the end, he will stand out from more than 4,000 high schools and become the final champion?

It's a matter of luck.

But in terms of strength, there is no doubt that they are already at the top of the country, and they have the strength to dominate the country.

Compared with any high school team, the Qingdao High School baseball team is not inferior, and even better.

This was Coach Ochiai's truest thoughts before today's game. He thinks that Superintendent Kataoka has used the unlucky character of the previous years to save himself a good hand.

Yuuki, Zhang Han, Miyuki......

Such a player, even if he can get one, the team should burn high incense.

The Seido High School baseball team got three in one go, and the other players all have their own characteristics.

The strength that such a team can show when combined is what it can do, and what power it can burst out.

It's all appalling!

But such a team is in a bitter battle today. They were almost at the end of the second round of blows, but they only won one point.

And their opponents have already taken three points from their hands.

"In my strongest era, I just ran into such a Daocheng industry. I don't know if the Qingdao High School baseball team is unlucky, or lucky. ”

The next game is not only a technical competition, but also the fighting spirit of the players of the two teams.

And which of them is more greedy for this game? Who is more hungry for a win in this game?

Then whoever has the opportunity to stand out in the course of the next competition and become the final winner.

"Even if I'm the coach of Qingdao, I have to admit that I won't be surprised who wins this game today."

The Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team deserves to win.

Their players, how hard they work, and the tactical strategies that their teams oversee.

They have all reached the pinnacle.

Even from the opponent's standpoint, Ochiai can't find the slightest fault with the other party.

"Good!"

In the rest area of Daocheng Industry, Guoyou supervised the usual personality and gave high affirmation to the performance of the players just now.

'Then it was our turn to attack, and just two points was not enough for us to win this game. If you want to win, you have to take at least one point from Zhang Han's hands. Use your eyes to get used to his ball speed as much as possible, and if you can't do it, try to tangle a few more balls. When you see a good way to play, don't hesitate to swing the bat aggressively. As long as the swing is strong enough, even if you can't hit the ball, it will cause serious psychological pressure on the opponent......"

Don't look at the decent-looking superintendents, and if you play psychological tactics, it's not good.

As long as there is any flaw that he discovers, he will definitely let his disciples target him to death.

Even if the opponent has no flaws, he can come up with many ways to force the opponent.

"Yes!"

The morale of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team is high.

Although in the course of the duel just now, they suffered a small loss and were won by Zhang Han to hit a home run.

The absolute lead of three points turned into two points.

But this can't be regarded as a bad thing entirely, in the past, the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School had a strong psychological baggage.

They were afraid that they would not perform well and be found by the Qingdao High School baseball team and destroy the three-point lead.

But now, the three-point lead has been ruined. The most important thing is that after the lead was destroyed, they did not panic, but quickly stabilized the formation and eliminated the remaining hitters.

This experience is so important to the players of the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School.

It is equivalent to saying that the weaknesses that they used to pay great attention to now do not seem to be so weak. Even if they are attacked, they can rely on the strength of the pitchers and players to defuse them.

The Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team is equivalent to unloading a layer of baggage, and they can hold their heads high and fight with the Qingdao High School baseball team desperately.

"Get the score!"

"That's it, with this momentum, let's completely defeat those guys on the Qingdao High School baseball team."

The fans in the stands, those supporters of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, also expressed their opinions.

Although they led by two points, the crazy Qingdao High School baseball team still made them feel very uncomfortable.

For a moment, they even felt that their hard-won lead was easily destroyed by the Seido High School baseball team.

Such thoughts, like nightmares, lingered in their minds.

The players of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team don't want to go through it again.

So, they fought!

"They must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles ......"

On the side of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the low air pressure is scary. Everyone was silent, not saying a word.

They don't know what to say?

In such an unfavorable situation, even if someone deliberately made everyone laugh to liven up the atmosphere, it would not solve any problems for the players of the Seido High School baseball team.

"Let's hold this game first!"

Yu Xing is a very pragmatic person, after he saw the state of his friends, he has clearly realized that it is useless to say anything at this time.

The most important thing is to see how to do it?

As long as we can do it well, we can save the unfavorable situation in front of us. So he took the initiative to get to Zhang Han's side and wanted to discuss with Zhang Han, what should he do next?

"Don't show mercy!"

Zhang Han was much more crisp than Yu Xing, and he directly made a gesture to wipe his neck.

There is no need to show mercy to your subordinates, and go all out to deal with all the beaters.

"What if someone wants to use a short fight?"

Yu Xing understood Zhang Han's thoughts, and if he wanted to wake up the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team from their low emotions, the best way was to be more aggressive.

In terms of Zhang Han's pitching, even if his next opponent is not easy to mess with.

But given his terrifying ball speed, he wasn't completely impossible.

The key is that the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School is not a live target, and the friends of the baseball team of Qingdao High School are willing to cooperate with each other.

People will also find a way, and they will never let them cast unscrupulously.

"They don't dare, don't worry!"

The statement given by Zhang Han is really not convincing. Miyuki wanted to refute, but it was too late.

The referee began to urge them to play as soon as possible.

In the second half of the fourth inning, the Baseball Team of Inagi Industrial High School attacked.

Because of Narimiya's pitching, the current Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team is like two completely different teams compared to just now.

Their eyes looked like those of the Seido High School baseball team, full of provocation.

"That's naΓ―ve!"

The other party actually wanted to use this way to provoke himself and make him give up his reason and confront them head-on.

Yukiichi also suddenly felt that these guys on the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School were still very stupid and naΓ―ve sometimes.

Do they think that they and Zhang Han are three-year-old children?

"Be careful, our next opponent is Masako Harada. A terrifying existence that can be compared to Yuuki-senpai. ”

Yu Xing gave Zhang Han such a code.

It's just that Zhang Han didn't seem to see it.

It seems that in his eyes, he no longer cares who his opponent is?

He has only one goal, and that is to deal with the hitters on the field.

"Whew!"

The white baseball was thrown like a dazzling light.

In fact, Zhang Han's pitching characteristics are not significant, and it can even be said to be very rigid. He needs to infuse all his strength to soar his ball speed to the extreme.

In this process, he is either preparing to pitch the ball or making the action during the pitching process.

It's all pulled to the maximum!

That is, the way of pitching with wide opening and closing.

Perhaps it is because of his way of pitching that it is easy for opponents to see where he is aiming and what type of pitch he is throwing.

This is also the reason why Kataoka's supervisors and coaches initially thought that Zhang Han was not suitable for being a pitcher.

Although by that time his ball speed had reached more than 140 km/h.

But on the court, it's not that you're fast on the ball that makes you a good pitcher. There are also many who are suggested or even asked by the supervisor to change to other positions.

The most famous player, for example, pitched very quickly, but eventually he switched to outfielders at the suggestion of his own supervisor.

Zhang Han was in that situation at that time.

But when Zhang Han's ball speed broke through to more than 150 kilometers, and he was able to accurately throw a good ball belt.

This changed dramatically.

Even if he pitches himself, there are still all kinds of problems, but this ball speed alone is enough to solve 80% or 90% of hitters.

As for the problems that exist, it doesn't seem to be so important.

Until now, Zhang Han's ball speed has reached more than 160 kilometers, almost reaching the limit of human beings, and has become a legendary light-speed ball.

Even if the ball is not very good, the pitching action that is easy to see through has become completely different.

Turning decay into magic, that's probably what it feels like.

Standing in Harada's perspective, he saw a little white light appear, and then it continued to magnify in front of his eyes.

Before his body could react, the white baseball had already passed through.

So fast!

As far as Harada's feelings are concerned, there is only one thought in his heart.

The speed of the baseball was so fast that he didn't even have time to react before the opponent had already settled the battle.

It's exactly the same as a sniper on the battlefield.

Kilometers away, take people's lives, and shoot them in the head.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!!"

The stands, which were originally a little quiet, especially the side of the Seido High School baseball team, seemed to be suddenly shaken violently.

These supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team raised their heads in surprise one by one and looked at the changes in front of them in disbelief.

It took a long time for these people to come to terms with what was happening in front of them and accept the reality.

"Zhang Han!!"

The previous decadence and frustration were swept away.

The eyes of these supporters of the Seido High School baseball team shone again.

It works!

They admonish themselves over and over again, as if they were convincing themselves.

They believe that even they themselves do not see any hope of a breakthrough for the Seido High School baseball team.

But the Seido High School baseball team must have no problem.

This team, which has brought them countless surprises before, is bound to continue to surprise them in the days to come.

Even today, they will not let the fans who came to support them feel disappointed in the slightest.

They will continue to move forward, they will continue to score points, and they will continue to use their strength to prove that the Qingdao High School baseball team is the return of the king, not a flash in the pan.

Not only the fans in the stands, but even the players on the field of Seido High School baseball seemed to have been given a shot in the arm.

The role of an ace pitcher is vividly displayed at this time.

Although Zhang Han has not played in previous games, as long as he is allowed to stand on the court, the sense of stability he can bring to his friends is incomparable to anyone.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

With two good balls in a row, Masako Harada, the fourth baseman of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team, didn't have time to react.

"Is the opponent already scared silly?"

"With such a fast ball, it's no wonder he behaves like this......"

On the electronic scoreboard, bright red numbers showed that Zhang Han threw a speed of more than 160 kilometers for the third time.

This shows that his previous two times to reach the speed of the lightspeed ball were not a flash in the pan on a whim.

It's that he really has mastered the lightspeed ball, and there is a high probability that he will be able to throw it when he wants.

The captain of Daocheng Industry bit his lip tightly, and there was no blood on his lips, and it was white.

Zhang Han's pitching was faster than he imagined.

Originally, he thought that he was mentally prepared, even if it was a straight ball of 160 kilometers, he was not afraid.

But when it came time to actually face it, Harada was suddenly surprised to find that he still underestimated the opponent in front of him and the baseball thrown from his hand.

It's so fast!

The speed at which a baseball flew over was something he had never seen before. It's completely different from a baseball thrown from a ball bowler.

After soaring the ball speed to 160 kilometers, Zhang Han's whole pitching state suddenly came to a 180-degree turn.

Originally, they could see the path and trajectory of the ball, but now it is also blurry.

"You can't wait for the ball to come in and then play, it's too late. You can only judge the timing and swing the bat. ”

Harada is worthy of being the captain of the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School, and even at an extreme disadvantage, he quickly figured out how to fight?

As for whether his method of fighting is useful?

That has to be proven through practice.

However, just being able to think of a way to solve the opponent and a way to fight Zhang Han in this extremely dangerous situation......

This in itself proves how good Masako Harada really is?

This point was also noticed by the catcher Miyuki of the Seido High School baseball team.

"It's really worthy of Senior Harada, compared to two months ago, I've improved again!"

Although Miyuki thinks that he is still somewhat behind his team's senior Yuuki.

But that's already remarkable!

He's become more and more of a monster rather than an ordinary baseball player.

"Then let's strangle the monster!"

The corners of Yu Xing's mouth outlined a trace of arc, and then quietly gave Zhang Han a secret signal.

In the stands, the gathering place of the three high school players of the city university.

A player with a small flat head and a casual expression suddenly spoke.

"The beater, it's over!"

This made the friends around him feel very incredible.

Although Harada was suppressed and never made a move, he has now been chased by Zhang Han.

However, from the standpoint of the city's top three high, they always believe that the main reason why Harada will be chased is because he took the initiative to give up the first two goals.

In other words, his purpose was to consume Zhang Han's physical strength.

From this point of view, he has been very successful.

How is it over?

The doubt in their hearts had just popped up, and the duel on the field had already had a result.

Zhang Han threw the third ball.

"Whew!"

The small white ball was as good as ever, like a dazzling white light. When the speed of the ball soars to a certain level, even people who don't know anything about baseball can feel the horror of the ball.

This is like a martial arts master who has cultivated his internal strength to a certain level, and he doesn't need any magic weapons at all, and he can hurt people by touching flowers and flying leaves in his hands.

Ball speed, especially reaching a speed of 160 km/h.

It has a similar effect.

Even a hitter of Harada's level can only silently calculate the time in his heart and swing the baton by looking at the general direction of the baseball.

Now is the time!

This is it!!

Harada gritted his teeth and knocked the bat out in his hand.

From his vantage point, the baseball looked like it was about to be hit by him, but then, the baseball that was about to be hit disappeared out of thin air.

How so?

Harada's eyes were full of incredulity.

Apparently he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Even from the standpoint of a bystander, because the speed at which the baseball flies and the speed at which the bat swings is just too fast.

They didn't see what was going on.

The only thing the audience can be sure of is that the bats and baseballs are staggered, and no one can touch anyone.

"Smack!"

The baseball smashed into Miyuki's glove with a crisp sound.

"Good shot!"

"Strikeout!!

It's like a Pandora's box, once it's opened, everyone has to be terrified.

In the stands.

Those players who came to scout the Seido High School baseball team and the Inagi Industrial game.

They all swallowed nervously, and looked at the duel on the court with disbelief on their faces.

In their eyes, disbelief and doubt are written......

What's going on?

The top hitter in Nishitokyo, and even one of the top hitters in the country, Masako Harada.

I didn't even touch the ball.

Then he didn't make a shot twice before, maybe he didn't want to consume Zhang Han's ball at all, but he didn't react at all.

This is a terrible idea!

So much so that the contestant who had this idea clenched his hands nervously, and the sweat in his palms still oozes out.

Kameda, who was in charge of commentating the game, had his eyes full of admiration.

"It's worthy of Zhang Han, it's too strong!"

It seems that all the people at the scene are shocked by Zhang Han's strikeout.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

For example, the next one who is about to stand in the strike zone, his face doesn't care much.

He went head-to-head with Harada, who had just been dealt with and walked down the strike zone.

"You're also the captain of our team, the fourth in the team. Even if you can't hit the ball straight to the home run, at least touch the ball. was directly struck by three strikes like this, wouldn't it make Zhang Han's kid his tail again? ”

Cheng Gongming's mouth, put poison, no worse than Yu Yuichi.

Masako Harada clenched his fists, restrained his urge to hit someone, didn't say a word, and staggered with Narimiya.

"Wait a minute, the senior hasn't told me yet, what did you find during the attack?"

Cheng Gongming was like a little daughter-in-law who had been abandoned, and shouted reluctantly.

It's just that Harada didn't pay attention to him and went straight back to the rest area.

"You're so capable, so let's go to the strike zone and have a good look."

As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.

Nari Miyamu stood in the strike zone, although the young man was still smiling hippie just now, but after he really stood in the strike zone, the sense of pressure he brought to his opponent was still very strong.

As the fifth baseman of the core of the Baseball Team of Inagi Industrial High School, the ace of this team, the biggest star player.

Narumiya's performance will also greatly affect the performance of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team.

He himself obviously knows this very well, so when he really fights Zhang Han, he is not as presumptuous as he said.

Even a little cautious.

If you don't have a certain certainty, you will never shoot easily, and you will never swing the stick easily.

He first observed the ball, and probably figured out the timing of the baseball hit.

It wasn't until the second goal that he made a shot.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

The white baseball passed through the bat and landed firmly in Miyukikazuya's glove.

Narumiya, who failed to swing his bat, looked very annoyed and knocked his head with his bat.

"I'm still in a hurry, the more times like this, the more I can't be in a hurry!"

He seemed to be talking to himself, but he actually wanted to use this way to interfere with Yu Xing and Zhang Han.

Zhang Han, it's already full firepower!

He just solved the ball of Harada-senpai, which the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team had analyzed before.

It should be a straight ball that changes up and down!

This is the artifact that made Zhang Han invincible, and it was also the direct reason why Daocheng Industry lost during the Kanto Conference.

If you want to hit that kind of ball, there is no other way but to guess.

Above or below?

He can only aim for the ball above or below the straight ball.

Here it comes!

Just as Narumiya was thinking, the white baseball flew over again.

This time, Narumu Narumiya made up her mind.

According to the judged timing, he very decisively swung the bat in his hand.

Below!

The ball had just floated up, so he guessed it must have been down.

There is no reason and there is no reason.

At this time, he can only rely on his intuition to guess.

Cheng Gongming guessed half right, Zhang Han really didn't use the continuous floating ball.

But at the same time, he guessed the other half wrong.

Baseball didn't sink!

Instead, he followed the trajectory of the straight ball, went straight past the obstacle of the bat, and smashed into Yukiichiya's open glove.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

"Strikeout!!

The 4th and 5th basemen of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, these two are also among the best among the star players, and they were cleanly knocked out of the game.

In the stands, the supporters of the Seido High School baseball team fell into an endless carnival as if they had been resurrected again.

"It's too fierce, it's worthy of my Daqing Dao!"

"With such a performance, I just want to ask, who else?"

They were all very excited.

"Two out! Two outs!! ”

Even the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team on the court were a little caught off guard by Zhang Han's fierce performance.

Fortunately, they quickly understood their position and gave Zhang Han huge support.

They can't let up yet, their task is not over.

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!!"

"Good Ball !!"

"Strikeout!!

Until Zhang Han won the last out, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team could no longer suppress the surging emotions in their hearts.

They came to Zhang Han's side excitedly one by one, and kept slapping his body to celebrate with him.

These big men, who are neither light nor heavy, don't know how heavy their slaps are, so much so that Zhang Han grinned.

"Seniors can be a little more subtle."

"Otherwise, I can't help but wonder, are you undercover agents sent here by the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team?"

"Hahaha......"

"It's yours boy."

"Don't worry, we won't let your efforts go to waste."

Originally, the thing that the Qingdao friends were most worried about did not happen, and their hearts finally fell back into their stomachs.

As for recovering the score, the seniors of the Qingdao High School baseball team are still very confident in this.

They are convinced that they can do it......

In the first half of the fifth inning, the Seido High School baseball team attacked.

Although the Seongdo High School baseball team is working hard to get points.

But the results were not satisfactory......

Cheng Gongming, who was humiliated by his own friends just now in the rest area, had no way to show results in the blow.

The only way to do this is to show your presence on pitching.

Not to mention anything else, his talent in this area is really unmatched.

The white baseball was thrown out again and again, and the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team swung the baton again and again in vain.

In the end, not a single goal was touched.

As if he was deliberately competing with Zhang Han, Cheng Gongming also won three strikeouts.

Although the opponents he met were all lower hitters of the Qingdao High School baseball team, compared with Zhang Han's three strikeouts, the gold content was much worse.

But you still have to admit that this guy's pitching is indeed the best in the country.

After all, even the hitters at the bottom of the Qingdao High School baseball team, their strength is enough to be the core hitter, or even the fourth baseman, in an ordinary team.

is such a strong stick, in front of Cheng Gongming, he doesn't even have the qualifications to show off his presence.

Only one by one is out.

"It's a classic pitcher battle, and whoever gets the points first in the rest of the game is qualified to change the game."

The superintendent of the pharmacist high school baseball team thundered and saw the aces of the two teams facing off, and his eyes were very greedy.

Although the ace in their team is also very powerful, this strength also depends on who to compare with.

Compared to these two guys, it's still a little worse after all.

If they had a pharmacist high school baseball team, they would be able to have such a pitcher. Whether it is Zhang Han or Cheng Gongming, Bang Lei Zang has a lot of confidence to change their team's current predicament.

Even if the opponents they have to face next are the three giants of Western Tokyo, Thunder Zang still has strong confidence and can lead his disciples to defeat them.

It's just a pity that this pork must only be his own wishful thinking.

Relying on the signboard of the pharmacist high school baseball team, they can't recruit such a talented player at all, even with his thunderous face.

Good players are all sweet, why don't people choose a strong team that has a better chance of entering Koshien?

And choose to enter Pharmacist High School.

In the second half of the fifth inning, the Baseball Team of Daocheng Industrial High School attacked.

Their playing line is also the turn of their lower hitters.

In the stands, Fujio, a senior reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, looked at the small notebook in his hand, and his face suddenly became more moved.

Owada Akiko, who is his partner, still knows her predecessor very well, and as soon as she looks at her senior's face, she knows that things must be unusual.

"What's wrong? Predecessor. ”

"Zhang Han, I'm afraid he's going to create a great record again."

"What record?"

Owada Akiko's eyes showed deep incomprehension.

"A record of three consecutive strikeouts in a single race. There were two people who competed for this record before, one was Narimiya Narumi of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, and the other was the new ace of the city's junior high school, Akuru Kosheng. The highest consecutive strikeouts they have won so far is five. Once they get that number, even if the next hitter is unable to get their ball out, they will use short hits to disrupt their pitching rhythm. ”

In short, the pitcher's good condition cannot be maintained all the time.

But now, Zhang Han, who has just been on the court for a short time, has won five consecutive strikeouts in two games.

The next opponent he will face is still the lower hitter of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School.

"The people of Daocheng won't draw a scoop according to the gourd and use short hits to disrupt Zhang Han's pitching rhythm?"

Owada Akiko asked worriedly.

"Of course they will!"

At this point, Fujifu dared to pat his chest and pack tickets.

As long as the people on the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team don't intend to throw in the towel, they will definitely take action.

They will never let Zhang Han continue to maintain such a good pitching state.

"It's just that they're afraid they can't do it!"

Can't do it?

At first, Owada Akiko didn't even understand what exactly this sentence meant.

Waiting, he saw the hitters of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team put on a short shot.

And then......

"Whew!"

The white baseball, like a dazzling white light, instantly pierced through the layers of obstacles and went directly into Miyuki Kazuya's gloves.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!!"

The seventh batter of Inagi, who posed as a short fight, looked at the baseball that passed through stupidly, and his face was full of confusion.

How did baseball pass?

He didn't know at all.

Before he could react, the baseball flew past his eyes.

In the rest area of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, the hearts of all the players were shocked.

Of course, they know that even if they encounter Zhang Han's pitch, it will be difficult to make a difference.

There was no way for them to unload the force, and the baseball had already bounced out.

The purpose of their short play this time was not to rely on short hitting to get to base, but just to use this way to destroy Zhang Han's current pitching rhythm.

What they didn't expect was that they didn't seem to be able to achieve even such a small wish.

Even the hitters can't keep up with the changes in baseball when they play short, and can only watch the baseball pass by.

This kind of blow, even for the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, is a little unbearable.

If it weren't for the fact that they are now in the lead, the Seido High School baseball team would have taken a two-point lead.

The players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School may not be able to help but surrender.

There is simply no way to play such a game!

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!!"

"Strikeout!!"

"Strikeout!!

"Strikeouts !!!"

In the second half of the fifth inning, Zhang Han won three strikeouts cleanly, completely crushing the attack of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.

At the end of 5 rounds, the score on the court was still 3-1.

The Seido High School baseball team is temporarily two points behind.

But the focus of people's attention at this time was not on this, but on another thing that made them extremely excited.

"It's a record breaker again!"

When he shouted this sentence, Kameda explained that he was puzzled as to why he said it again.

In short, Zhang Han scored eight consecutive strikeouts. Although it is still far from the highest strikeout record of 13 in a single race, it is still a long way off. But he's already got the highest consecutive strikeouts in a single race. This is not only the first tournament in the history of the entire Tokyo area tournament. ”

Witnessing the creation of a record that, despite being a bit of an underdog, was thrilled by the crowd.

Even the supporters of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School couldn't help but bang on what they were doing and celebrate together.

"Even the fans have betrayed, how will the next game be played?"

Bai He couldn't help but complain.

At this time, he was not the only one who had such thoughts in his heart.

Many players in the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School have very ugly faces.

It's obviously them who are in the lead now, so why don't they feel like they're leading at all?

Whether it is from the atmosphere of the fans at the scene, or from the momentum on the field now.

They are all backward Qingdao High School baseball teams, firmly occupying the initiative in the game.

'The score doesn't lie, as long as we don't drop points in the next games. In today's game, we can't lose! ”

At the critical moment, it was the ace pitcher who stepped up.

It's just that their opponents are now also aiming at Cheng Gong Ming.

In the first half of the sixth inning, the starters of the Seido High School baseball team defeated the strike zone for the third time.
