Chapter Twenty-Seven: Someone Else's Child...
The two people who grabbed the speed test quickly attracted people's attention.
"What's going on?"
Coach Ochiai took the lead and asked.
He is very concerned about Zhang Han's ball speed.
He has been suggesting to Superintendent Kataoka before, no matter how many games Zhang Han can throw on the court? As long as he can stand on the pitcher's mound and pitch the ball, then he should be a well-deserved ace pitcher on the Qingdao High School baseball team.
In a team, the individual strength of the ace pitcher is likely to affect the momentum of the entire team.
In this regard, no matter how much Tamba has and how hard he has worked during this period, he should not be the next trump card of the Seido High School baseball team.
It's just that Superintendent Kataoka has been hesitating.
And this practice game is likely to be directly related to the ownership of the team's ace back number.
Zhang Han's pitching, any problems that arise, are not a small problem.
The player who was asked looked overwhelmed. He subconsciously wanted to hide the speed gun behind him.
Superintendent Kataoka grimaced and glanced at him coldly.
The player suddenly felt that his body was no longer obedient, and he was shaking like chaff.
He hurriedly sent the speed gun in his hand.
Although doing so, it is very likely that I am sorry for Zhang Han. But it's better than being overseen by one's own family and then going through hellish personal training.
He was still very attentive and chose to sell his teammates.
After Ochiai picked up the speedometer, he stared at the number on it and frowned slightly.
At this time, everyone's attention was already on him. Apparently everyone is also very curious, what happened?
Then, Ochiai shook his head in admiration and handed the tachymeter to Kataoka.
Minister Ota and Rei Takashima also turned their heads over, trying to see the numbers on it clearly.
"How so?"
After seeing the numbers clearly, Minister Ota looked puzzled.
Judging from his feeling just now, even if Zhang Han didn't throw his highest ball speed, the ball speed of that ball should be at least about 155 kilometers.
How can it be so slow?
Then he heard Takashima's voice of admiration.
"I didn't expect this guy Zhang Han to evolve to this extent so quickly!"
Ochiai nodded his head.
"It's a bit of a surprise, but he's not physically fit now, and he can still perform like this on the pitch, and it's natural that he's improved."
Superintendent Kataoka's face had a distinct smile.
Of course, if you are not very familiar with him, I am afraid it will be difficult to detect.
Minister Ota listened to what these three people said to me, and the whole person was stunned.
Don't think he's not a baseball professional and he's a liar? He still knows the basics.
At the current ball speed, I can't say it's not fast. But is it too ordinary to put Zhang Han, the holder of the first ball speed in the country at this stage?
These three guys, why do they look like Zhang Han has done something amazing?
Did anyone kindly explain to him what was going on?
Minister Ota, I really don't understand. What kind of medicine are they selling in their gourds?
At this time, Zhang Han successfully won a strikeout.
He struck out the fifth on the Pharmacist High School baseball team.
It was a third-year hitter, and his strength was just as extraordinary.
The Qingdao contestants who watched the game clapped their hands excitedly.
It looks like they're about to win the game.
On the other side, in the rest area of the Yakushi High School baseball team, it seems that it has suffered a critical attack.
All their players had gloomy faces and didn't say a word.
It feels like a lifeless ......
The players of the Yakushi High School baseball team may not have noticed it at first, but now, they may not know where they are, and the state of the Seido High School baseball team players is problematic.
In this state of the Qingdao players, they did not take down their opponents, but let the Qingdao overtake the score.
This is too big a blow to the pharmacist high school baseball team!
You must know that they used to win the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, which dominated the country, as a super dark horse.
Now in the face of a physically exhausted Qingdao, there is no way at all.
This makes them in the summer tournament, how can they trample the three giants of West Tokyo under their feet?
How did they stand out in the summer Koshien qualifiers?
This sense of despair made the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team unable to adapt for a while.
But now, they have no way to change all this.
All the way to their sixth bat, which hit the ball beautifully.
"Ping!"
When they saw the sixth batter hit the ball, the pharmacist's player jumped up excitedly.
It's finally time to wait!
Zhang Han, who had a lot of physical exertion, began to make throwing mistakes.
Perhaps, this is their chance to turn the game around.
However, the ball that flew out did not rebound from the ground as they expected and flew to the outfield.
Instead, a figure who suddenly fell down was forcibly stopped. The figure who stopped the baseball fell directly to the ground.
"Run!"
In the rest area of the pharmacist, Mishima shouted anxiously.
Now they all hate that they can't replace the beaters and go up to the base.
For them, any attacking opportunity must not be missed.
Even if it's just a hit, there is a high probability that it will change the current dull situation on the court.
For this, the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team can put in a lot of effort.
The batter gritted his teeth and ran to first base.
The second baseman who received the ball in Qingdao, at this time, fell to the ground hard, and even if he could get up and pass the ball, it would take time......
As the second-ranked Scud on the Yakushi High School baseball team and the sixth baseman of the Yakushi High School, he thinks he has a chance to run to first base.
But as soon as he started a few steps, he saw an incredible scene.
The man who fell did not stand up at all, but directly held up the ball with his gloves and threw it to another Qingdao teammate who came forward to help.
"Hip hop!"
Kuramo arrived and put the ball down with his hands and passed it to first base.
"Smack!"
On first base, when Tetsuya Yuuki received the ball, the runners of the Yakushi High School baseball team ran less than halfway.
That's why they didn't have anyone on base before.
If someone on the Yakushi High School baseball team had been on base before, Qingdao would have been able to easily win a double kill.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
Zhang Han waved to Ryosuke Kominato and Kuramochi with a grateful face.
His hand slipped just now, and he didn't even notice the sweat on his fingers because he was so tired.
I almost lost a hit.
Thanks to the protection of these two seniors, otherwise, Qingdao's good state is likely to be affected.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome, it's our responsibility."
Being able to help Zhang Han made Cangzhi very happy.
Ryosuke Kominato ran straight over.
When he ran to Zhang Han's side, he said a word with a smile.
"Don't be so reluctant, we can hold on."
Zhang Han's heart was shocked.
There is a very important reason why he chose to solve the beaters strongly, that is, considering the current physical strength of the seniors, they are basically on the verge of collapse.
He wants to help seniors share the pressure.
But he overlooked one point, although this class of third-year seniors is called the year of poor harvest.
But each of them climbed to their current position through their own efforts.
In the last session, Qingdao set the first line name in the country.
Although the seniors of this year's class did not go further on this basis, they also inherited this name perfectly.
They are outstanding!
They also have their own dignity and pride.
"Then the guards behind you, please leave it to everyone."
When Zhang Han returned to the rest area, he solemnly said to all the third-grade seniors.
"Don't be too reluctant, there's a reliable senior standing behind you."
Jun Izaki was the first to make a statement.
Tetsuya Yuuki nodded heavily.
"Mmmm
Senior Masuko also expressed his attitude in his own way.
It's just that his language, except for Kuramochi and Sawamura, who share a bedroom with him, is estimated that no one can understand it.
It's a pity that Zhang Han is one of them who can't understand.
However, he still felt the feedback given to him by his seniors.
It was also at this moment that Zhang Han really felt that they were a whole.
Seeing that because of Zhang Han's words, the atmosphere of the entire team has changed dramatically, and the supervisors and coaches nodded silently after looking at each other.
Ochiai quietly hid the speed gun aside.
At this time, it is better not to appear things that may affect the emotions of the players.
The number on the speedometer gun is 149!
This ball speed, put in high school, is definitely a super fast ball.
But for Zhang Han, the speed of the straight ball did not exceed 150, which is basically a shame.
Who made him the fastest ball speed holder in the country?
Takashima looked at Zhang Han appreciatively.
This child is the most typical child of someone else's family.
Every time I re-observe from a different angle, I can see the difference between Zhang Han.
It's as if this time, he's progressed to the point where he can give the hitter the illusion of ball speed.
Even those of them who watched Zhang Han's pitching felt that Zhang Han threw his fastest ball.
Not to mention, the beaters who stand on the strike zone.
And the reason why people feel this way, in fact, to put it bluntly, is because Zhang Han's pitching action is smooth.
For the same set of movements, some people are obviously fast, but there are small flaws in the middle, giving people the feeling that the speed will be much worse.
Zhang Han's situation is completely opposite.
His set of pitching movements is like flowing water, without any slowness.
Because it is so smooth, people subconsciously think that the ball is thrown quickly.
But this is just a delusion......
For example, Usain Bolt, the 100-meter champion, stumbled a few times during the run.
How will you feel?
You feel that his speed must have been affected.
But the speed of people can still run into ten seconds, at most ten seconds and five.
The other person had no flaws in the whole process from the start to the whole run, and the sprint stage was even better.
Gives the feeling, will it be soon?
But in reality, he may have run ten seconds and eight or even eleven seconds.
That's the difference.
It's the same with pitching, the smoother and more natural the movement, the faster it feels.
Especially for fast ball pitchers, because of the pursuit of explosiveness, the pitcher's preparatory actions often feel that the time is particularly long.
This is the reason why Zhang Han's baseball is obviously five or six kilometers behind, but it feels similar to his peak ball speed.
This kind of thing is very simple, but it is not so easy to do. Especially for a fast ball pitcher like Zhang Han, it is even more difficult to do it......
This is also the reason why the giants of the Qingdao High School baseball team feel admired.
Zhang Han's performance is really outstanding!
So good that these supervisors and coaches can only applaud and admire.
Taking Zhang Han's pitching as an opportunity, the next game was fast-paced and scary.
Sanada successfully held the seventh game.
Zhang Han was not willing to be lonely, and successively struck three hitters of the baseball team of Pharmacist High School.
In today's practice game, don't look at Zhang Han only threw three rounds, but he has already scored a full seven strikeouts.
In the process of returning to the rest area, Ryosuke Kominato came to Zhang Han's side again and asked with a smile.
"You didn't listen to what I said before? You know, if you don't listen to your seniors, you'll suffer......"
is obviously kind, worried about Zhang Han's physical strength.
But Ryosuke Kominato's words made people feel a deep chill.
Zhang Han felt innocent.
He really didn't force it, and twice tried to seduce the other party with a fishing ball to swing the stick.
The other party was also obedient and swung his stick with all his might......
All of this went smoothly.
But he couldn't hit the ball, who can blame?
Therefore, Zhang Han also had to throw a few more balls.
In the rest area of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
Now, the players of the Seido High School baseball team and the students of their school around the stadium have gone completely crazy.
Especially those little girls, they kept shouting Zhang Han's name, as if they had won the game.
Boom Thunder's face was ugly.
He was the only one in Pharmacist High School who noticed that Zhang Han's ball speed might be problematic.
Because, it doesn't make sense!
A man who can throw at speeds close to 160 kilometers has strict standards for his personal physicality and the posture he throws at.
It is possible to do it only if all the strength of the body is concentrated and exploded.
Even a pitcher in the major leagues can't stay up all the time.
But so far, Zhang Han has thrown more than 20 balls in succession?
Originally, before the game, their physical strength was not very good, but now with such a big consumption, even if Zhang Han does not collapse directly, at least he should show fatigue.
How does it seem that he is completely unaffected and can still continue to pitch vigorously?
"We have to change our strategy!"
Just when Thunder Zang was thinking so, the Qingdao High School baseball team gave them another slap in the first half of the eighth inning.
After the cooperation of playing and running, they finally scored another point by forcing the score.
The lead was extended to three points in one fell swoop.
8:5!
Thinking of Zhang Han's outstanding performance on the court, the baseball team of Pharmacist High School desperately found that they seemed to have no chance.
In the second half of the eighth inning, the Yakushi High School baseball team attacked.
The first to stand in the strike zone was Thunder City.
When Zhang Han faced this guy, he was rarely serious.
He started to use straight balls that drifted up and down, ready to seduce the guy to swing the bat.
The stupid boy is also really honest, when he saw the flying baseball, he didn't hesitate and waved the bat in his hand directly.
"Boom!"
When he saw him swinging his stick, a big stone fell to the ground in Zhang Han's heart.
It's done!
Using such an upward floating ball to seduce the thunder city strike, it should evolve into a high fly.
As long as the guy who can solve this trouble, the remaining players of the pharmacist high school baseball team, in Zhang Han's opinion, are all younger brothers.
Before it was his turn to strike in the fifth round, he should be able to finish the match very smoothly.
However, what happened next greatly exceeded Zhang Han's expectations.
"Ping!"
The white baseball was slammed out.
Baseball flew very high as Zhang Han expected.
In other words, his float is very successful. Instead of being able to hit the center of the baseball, Boom City hit the bottom of the baseball.
"Outfielder!"
Zhang Han opened his gloves and beckoned the backbone behind him to help with the garrison.
"Leave it to me!"
Jun Izaki had already retreated to the back of the stadium early, waiting for the baseball to fall.
However......
Just as Izashaki Jun watched the baseball about to fall, the baseball did not fall, but continued to fly out and hit the net.
"Ben, home run?"
The sudden blow caught the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team off guard.
Minister Ota rubbed his hands.
Coach Ochiai also had a wry smile on his face.
"The smooth movement can really mislead the eyes of the beaters and the people around them. But the real ball speed is the real ball speed, and the power of the ball speed of more than 140 kilometers is still quite big compared with the power of the ball speed of nearly 160 kilometers. ”
Ordinary hitters may not even be able to touch the ball.
But a real master still has a chance to hit the ball directly.
The Yakushi High School baseball team, a first-year player, is undoubtedly such a master.
"I just hope that this goal will not affect the morale of the team now."
Rei Takashima was very calm about the question, she said.
The future is clearly more important than the results that are already happening.
Coach Ochiai shook his head and didn't say anything.
How can it not affect?
Originally, the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team had undergone a week of intensive training, and yesterday several players on guard practiced until more than 8 o'clock in the evening.
When the contestants took a shower, finished eating, and went back to bed, I was afraid it was past 11 o'clock.
I got up early in the morning and ran for a walk.
Their physical strength, which was originally in an overdraft state, is now completely supported by the breath in their hearts.
Once this breath encounters obstacles, it will instantly become the last straw that crushes the camel.
The Pharmacist High School baseball team is another team with a very ferocious offensive style, how could they let go of such an opportunity?
