Chapter 17: A Shock
As soon as the orientation tournament began, Superintendent Kataoka unexpectedly brought together the strongest players of the new students.
4 have already trained with the Second Army, and there are a few special students who have received scholarships.
As the brains of today's team, Yu Xing and Zhang Han got together. A few friends around who were going to play also came up.
"It seems that our superintendent, to the third-grade senior, or to put it simply, is already very dissatisfied with the first army."
Zhang Han believes that Aso's judgment should be accurate.
gave the new students such a good platform to play, and at the same time put all the old students into one team.
The two teams can't be said to be completely fair. But within the scope of the conditions, the greatest fairness has been achieved.
Different from the previous selection and promotion system, this time, the evaluation criteria for the Qingdao High School baseball team should be based on strength.
It doesn't matter if you're in 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade.
Only in the competition, the player who performs well, will Superintendent Kataoka consider and promote you to the first army.
After the formation of the new team, the first thing is to assign the position and the number of bats on the field.
After this period of getting along, what kind of strength do they have?
Everyone knows it in their hearts.
In this case, the position is not difficult to adjust.
Zhang Han, as the person with the highest strike score before. He was rightfully placed in the fourth base.
Although some of the newcomers are not convinced, this is already the best arrangement. Otherwise, I don't know how long I have to fight?
Zhang Han came to take this position, at least everyone could barely accept it.
Zhang Han himself put forward a different opinion.
"Playing against seniors, if we go according to the rules, I don't think we have much hope."
"And what do you think?"
Miyuki asked.
"If you don't object, I hope that Mao Sui will nominate himself to be the first batter. Then let the stronger ones serve as the second and third bats. Compared with our seniors, we may not have any advantage in physical strength and technology. At this time, if you want to win, you can only win by surprise. Get the lead first, and then think about how to maintain the advantage. ”
When he said this, Zhang Han's eyes flashed with wisdom and determination.
Although several of the newcomers are not very happy with the group of four.
Hate the house and Wu, their suggestions to Zhang Han will naturally not be too cold.
But Zhang Han's proposal, they couldn't find any excuse to refuse.
Especially the goal he proposed, this guy actually wants to defeat the seniors?
Although the freshmen, think that it is unlikely.
But this proposal is so tempting that no one will bring it up, and if someone puts it forward, of course they will think about it.
If they can beat the veteran team consisting of the first army substitute and the second army main team in the orientation match.
That can definitely be a fight to fame.
Kataoka's supervisors and coaching staff can no longer turn a blind eye to them.
Just thinking about that kind of picture makes people very excited.
If it is possible, even if it is just a slight possibility, they are absolutely unwilling to let it go.
Zhang Han's proposal, everyone agreed. And Zhang Han himself also made concessions.
The opportunity to be a pitcher first, he gave it to Kawakami, and himself, a cameo second baseman.
This is the only position that is still lacking among them.
In the first half of the first game, the rookies attacked.
The first to stand in the strike zone was Zhang Han.
Seeing Zhang Han walking into the strike area, there was a lot of noise in the rest area of the veteran team.
There was a lot of discussion, and it was clear that this result was very unexpected to them.
When Zhang Han was in middle school, he was famous because of his outstanding results.
A veteran of the Seido High School baseball team, many people have heard his name. Although such a reputation. A large part of the reason is because of his status as an international student.
But if Zhang Han doesn't have enough strength, even if he is an international student, he can't be famous.
In addition, when he entered the team test, he scored the highest score of the blow.
Practice with the Second Army.
At the beginning, there were all kinds of mistakes due to the relationship between physical strength and strength.
In the later stages, his physical strength has kept up, and his performance is getting better and better.
Now, as long as the baseball doesn't go beyond his defensive range, he's basically able to catch it.
The growth rate is so fast, it is very famous in the Second Army.
Originally, the old students always thought that with a killer weapon like Zhang Han, the freshman team would definitely keep him in the fourth base.
Unexpectedly, he was the first to stand in the strike zone.
This is really a very severe test for Senior Xiuze.
Hidesawa senior, when pitching, has countless advantages.
On the other hand, there are several weaknesses.
One of the weaknesses is a shaky start.
Superintendent Kataoka, who served as the referee, had a slight flash in his eyes.
He didn't know, who came up with the idea?
People who can think of this idea are usually very careful and have a high ability to gather information.
And it's also very good at thinking.
People like this who are observant and think are often particularly reassuring on the pitch.
And as long as the physical fitness of this player is not too bad, then the strength will generally not be bad.
"Hoo ......"
Zhang Han, who was standing on the strike zone, did not have so many thoughts as in the rest area.
Now he has only one idea, and that is to hit the baseball that flies over.
He let out a long breath, his eyes locked on Hidesawa on the pitcher's mound.
Zhang Han has seen Xiuze's pitching, this senior, once he completely explodes his strength.
The ball is terrifying!
Even a strong hitter will have a hard time hitting his ball far enough.
If you want to hit the ball out by yourself, the short-hitting method of holding the baton will not work at all.
You have to swing the stick with all your might!
Here it comes!
Without waiting for Zhang Han to have too many thoughts, the white ball roared in.
Senior Hidesawa pitches very decisively, even if it is a test ball, it is the same as a decisive ball.
Zhang Han, who had been prepared for a long time, guessed the approximate position of the baseball according to the inertia of his body almost the moment he saw Xiuze's action.
Well done!
He was prepared, waiting for the moment when the ball flew over.
Gripping the bat tightly with both hands, he used all his strength to swing the bat in his hand.
"Hum..."
The moment the bat waved, Zhang Han's ears heard a clear sound of breaking the air.
How so?
Zhang Han is not known for his strength, at least when he was in Songfang, he was not known for his strength.
Now, how suddenly?
"Ping!"
Zhang Han didn't have time to think about it, and the bat hit the white ball hard, sweeping the ball out fiercely.
The eyes of everyone in the audience were focused on the small ball, and then they watched the small ball fly a distance of nearly 100 meters and land on the protective net on the periphery of the court.
