Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Record Breaker (2-in-1)
With a score of 8:7, the Qingdao High School baseball team overtook the pharmacist.
The fans in the stands applauded excitedly in celebration, and they kept cheering the names of Qingdao and Zhang Han.
The Qingdao High School baseball team did not disappoint them.
Not long after being overtaken, he recovered the score strongly and overtook the score.
The dark horse pharmacist high school baseball team, their performance is indeed outstanding, which even the supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team have no way to deny.
In the case that a lot of strength has been exposed, they can still fight back and forth with Seido High School, one of the three giants in West Tokyo, and they are on par.
The strength of the pharmacist is beyond doubt, and it has reached the point where it can compete with the giants.
But so what?
Facing the Qingdao High School baseball team, their final outcome is still certain.
They can't win, and they can't win!
In the end, the only one who can win the game is still Qingdao High School.
"It's amazing!"
"It's all out, it's really worthy of Zhang Sang."
"So handsome! I want to be his girlfriend. β
"Less daydreaming, if you want to be his girlfriend, then you're still in line......"
The young ladies who stood at the front of the stands, everyone felt as if they had climaxed.
They waved everything in their hands excitedly, their faces flushed and cheered.
I don't know if it's in the sun, or because I'm too excited......
The most shocking thing on the field was undoubtedly the shooting partner of the pharmacist high school baseball team. Especially their catcher, since Zhang Han blasted the ball out, his eyes have never left Zhang Han's body.
He watched Zhang Han spread the bat in his hand, ran around the infield court handsomely, and finally returned to home plate.
With Ryosuke Kominato, who also returned to home plate, high-fived each other.
"Smack!"
The hands of the two clapped together, and the catcher of the pharmacist high school baseball team woke up like a dream.
That man, really hit it?
Because of Zhang Han's appearance, the catcher of the pharmacist high school baseball team has always been reluctant to admit Zhang Han's strength. So much so that when Zhang Han retreated, he thought that Zhang Han was cowardly.
Isn't this a ghost?
Zhang Han is a super newcomer who followed the Qingdao High School baseball team to Koshien, and now among all the players in Tokyo, he can count the star players on his fingers.
How could such a player have such an obvious weakness?
If Zhang Han really had that kind of weakness, I don't know how many times he was attacked by his opponent? And how can you get away with the scenery until now?
Such a simple truth, why couldn't I understand it at the time?
Not only was the catcher annoyed, but Sanada, who was on the pitching mound, was also uncomfortable.
He didn't underestimate Zhang Han's striking strength like his partner. However, he also thought at the time that Zhang Han had given up the outside corner.
Zhang Han must have thought that his pitching lifeline was concentrated in the inside corner, so he made such a move. At that time, it should be no problem to take an outside corner.
But as a result, he slapped Sanada hard.
He never thought that what Zhang Han was aiming at at the beginning was the outer corner!
This gave Sanada a feeling that he was being crushed in terms of IQ.
He was very mindful in his heart.
Both teams also reacted differently in their lounges. In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, there is more emotion and amazement.
Compared with autumn, Zhang Han is really completely different.
At that time, he still used to release water, and as long as the team was ahead of a certain advantage, his attack seemed to be dumb.
But now Zhang Han has basically overcome his bad habit. As a direct result of this, he broke records one after another.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time Zhang Han has won three home runs in one game, right?"
"That's right, today can be regarded as his personal home run record in a single game."
"It's not just the home run, it's the hit success rate. Even if he didn't hit the ball out or was escorted by the pharmacist in the last matchup, his hit success rate was above 80 percent. It was also his best performance in a single game. β
Because Zhang Han's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger. Some opponents who are not too weighty have gradually begun to escort him.
As a direct result of this, Zhang Han's on-base rate is very high, but his batting rate is relatively average.
It is really rare for an opponent like the pharmacist high school baseball team to insist on facing Zhang Han head-on.
"As long as the team can keep winning, the batting rate will go up."
Superintendent Kataoka was satisfied.
The reason why they care about Zhang Han's mercy is that their fighting spirit is not high. It's not entirely because of the fear that your opponent will come back to life.
Whenever Zhang Han decided to show mercy to his subordinates, basically the opponent had already given up the game.
So is Zhang Han merciful? It doesn't have that much of an impact on the team's win or defeat.
But.
To a certain extent, this affected Zhang Han's personal data.
A player who wants to go all the way down the road from baseball. Then his personal data will stay with him for the rest of his life.
It's slightly better when it comes to the big leagues.
If it is a professional baseball in the island country, the player's performance in high school, as well as various data, will all be stored in the player's personal file.
This data is not even kept by a professional company, and it can be searched on the Internet.
Therefore, if Zhang Han shows mercy for a long time, it will inevitably have an impact on his future data, and then affect his own future future.
The Seido High School baseball team is not a team that only pursues team results, and they also pay great attention to the development of players.
Being able to produce excellent professional baseball players, especially top players, can also bring great fame and benefits to the Seongdo High School baseball team.
Now Zhang Han has begun to change.
His fighting spirit will become more vigorous, and the stats will get better and better.
In this way, even if there are a few games and his form is problematic and he doesn't play so well, it won't affect his future too much.
The people on the baseball team of Yakushi High School are not as much as Aodo thinks.
After all, what kind of achievements can Zhang Han achieve in the future? It has nothing to do with them.
What they are focusing on now is where the next game will go.
With Zhang Han scoring a two-point home run, the situation on the court has changed completely. The Yakushi High School baseball team went from leading to being leading, and most importantly, they were just ahead. The Qingdao High School baseball team won the score very strongly.
To some extent, this also reveals the difference in strength between the two teams.
If this situation continues, the chances of the Yakushi High School baseball team finally turning the tables are not too high.
"It still depends on the last blow! Only by breaking down the pitcher can we hope to win the game. β
In addition to the collapse of the pitcher, there is one more thing that the people on the pharmacist high school baseball team have to think about doing.
That's to stop conceding points.
No matter how reluctant Lei Zang was to admit it, he had to recognize the terrifying scoring ability of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
In terms of offensive power, the Seido High School baseball team is definitely second to none.
Its strength even surpassed that of the national hegemon Daocheng they had defeated before.
How to avoid losing points from this opponent will directly determine whether the Yakushi High School baseball team has any hope of continuing to play?
Thunder Zang put all his expectant eyes on pitcher Sanada.
Before entering the pharmacist high school baseball team to coach, Boom originally thought that his precious son would join, plus his two personal disciples.
It's not too difficult to make a name for yourself in Nishitokyo.
But after actually taking over the pharmacist, they re-studied the opponents they were going to face in Nishitokyo.
Thunder Zang was very sad to find that he was wrong!
And it's quite out of the blue.
The situation in Nishitokyo is chaotic, and it is far more difficult to fight out of it than he can imagine.
It is impossible to have a short period of time, even if he is given two or three years, the pharmacist only has a chance, and he is not sure of victory.
Fortunately, God gave them Sanada Shunhei.
This man is definitely the best gift God has given to the pharmacist high school baseball team.
It is precisely because of him that the Yakushi High School baseball team can have the strength to challenge the pattern of Nishitokyo in such a short period of time.
To put it bluntly, it gives them the confidence to compete with the three giants in Western Tokyo.
At this time, Boom Thunder can only continue to pin his hopes on Sanada.
Sanada also felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. But he didn't reject this feeling, although none of the teams he was on before were really strong.
He has never had the opportunity to challenge the highest goals of the whole country or Koshien.
But that doesn't mean that Sanada doesn't crave a challenge in his heart.
He's still hungry for a challenge, eager to play against the best players in the country of his age.
Zhang Han, Yuuki......
It's all him, someone who's dueled countless times in his fantasy many times.
And these two guys didn't disappoint him. In the course of the duel, they showed extraordinary strength.
The next opponent he will face is Tetsuya Yuuki.
Yuki stood in the strike zone with a blank face, looked at Sanada coldly, and waited for Sanada to throw the ball.
The fourth baseman of the Qingdao High School baseball team, like Zhang Han, deliberately moved out of the corner.
Before the change, the catcher of the Yakushi High School baseball team might have thought that Yuuki was also afraid of the inside corner kick with Sanada, and he was afraid that the ball would fall on him.
But with Zhang Han's previous lesson, of course they won't have that naΓ―ve idea anymore.
Without that kind of arrogant thoughts, the catchers of the Yakushi High School baseball team suddenly discovered that the hitters of Qingdao deliberately moved out of the inside corner, which was more difficult to deal with than if they were clinging to the inside corner.
Sanada's pitching style is destined to be the best at playing with opponents, using the inside corner to decide the winner. Once the Qingdao hitter deliberately retreats, all the inside corners they throw are basically turned into good balls in the center.
Even if it is a jet ball or an in-cut ball, thrown into the center position, the power is weakened by five or six percent.
Of course, they can also shoot the outside corner instead of the inside corner.
But Zhang Han taught them a good lesson before, and the beaters of Qingdao High School can also take a step forward at any time.
That way, they can also reach the outside corner.
In short, no matter how they vote? The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team seem to be able to deal with it calmly.
Could this be the legendary step back, the sea and the sky?
The shooting partners of the Yakushi High School baseball team suddenly found that the Qingdao High School baseball team was doing the opposite, and instead threw the problem on their heads.
What to do?
In the stands, Fujio, a veteran reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, was amazed when he saw Aomichi's countermeasures.
"Superintendent Kataoka's response was so fast! I found the weakness of the ace of the pharmacist high school baseball team so quickly. β
Tanba and Sanada.
As far as pitching goes, it's definitely not a weakling. Even throughout Tokyo, they are a number of masters.
But even these two pitchers, when facing the pharmacist and the Qingdao line respectively, they invariably fell into a bitter battle.
What does this mean?
It shows that compared to the offensive ability of the two teams, their defensive ability is too weak.
It's not that they don't do their best, their pitchers are very serious about pitching, and the players in charge of the guard don't let up any slackening throughout.
But their offensive ability is too strong, as if a spear and a shield collide, and Mao is too sharp. Although the shield was still strong, it was easily punctured when it touched the sharp spear.
"In today's game, it's not about pitchers!"
Because of the two pitchers, they can't be prevented at all!
At most, to a certain extent, it limits the opponent's score.
"The key is to see, which of the two teams has more ferocious offensive strength?"
Fujifu saw the essence of this game.
Before Zhang Han got off the pitcher hill, Qingdao could suppress the pharmacist in all directions. But after he got off the pitcher's mound, the two sides had to compete for offense.
This is the difference between Zhang Han and Tanbo.
Fujio believes that Superintendent Kataoka must have seen this difference.
The showdown on the field continues.
"Whoosh!"
After hesitating for about twenty seconds, Sanada finally tried to throw his first shot.
He didn't give up the inside corner!
Even at this time, Yuuki retreated, and Sanada did not give up the inner corner.
Obviously, it is not only Fujifu who sees the essence of the game, but also Yakushi High School baseball against this trump card.
Since there is no way to completely stop the opponent's attack, it is better to show your strength to the fullest.
I'll leave the rest to God.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Sanada, who completely casts his own style, is not so easy to deal with. Yuuki swung his bat for the first time and only hit the ball out of bounds.
However, his face became even more grim.
When Yuuki swung his stick for the second time, everything around him seemed to stand still.
"Ping!"
The baseball that was hit was like a white lightning bolt that instantly crossed a distance of dozens of meters, smashed heavily on the ground in the field, and then bounced out.
The baseball bounces all the way to the fence, then hits the wall, and bounces back again.
The fielders who ran up followed closely and the baseball that bounced back staggered.
He didn't catch the ball the first time!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Seido High School baseball team.
Yuki ran all the way, rushing through first, second, and third bases......
