Chapter 26: The Backbone (Part 1)

"The atmosphere has changed!"

An alumnus watching the competition muttered thoughtfully.

Although the situation on the field has not changed much, the old team has not been able to catch up with the score in a short period of time, or even overtake the score.

But that old alumnus can clearly feel that the positions of the two teams have changed dramatically.

Although the strength of the old team was superior, the individual strength of their players and the organizational ability of the team were above the new team.

But the freshman team is not ambiguous. Under the strong leadership of Yuyuki Kazuya and Zhang Han, they are on a par with the old students.

The whole momentum, in fact, is not completely at a disadvantage.

even relied on Zhang Han's strong individual striking strength to lead the old team in the score.

This can be very difficult for many people to accept. But in fact, in the course of the game just now, the freshman team was dominant.

Even if they don't have momentum, they still have the advantage in the overall situation.

In the following games, if there are no major changes, it is not impossible for the freshmen team to win this game in one go.

Although the overall strength of the veteran team is stronger, it is not even a star. But in the competition, it is never the case that whoever is strong will be able to win in the end.

Otherwise, people wouldn't have to play. The two sides drag out the famous players and make a data comparison, and the weaker side will automatically admit defeat.

Although the comprehensive strength is not as good as that of the old team, judging from the situation just now, the new team has a certain probability of winning the game.

But this atmosphere, with the arrival of a person, was completely ended.

This man is Chris, a second-year half-breed catcher.

His whole person perfectly combines all the advantages of Orientals and Westerners, and he is so handsome that people have nothing to say.

Not only that, but his ball skills are not inferior to his looks. Since he came on the field, the second- and third-year players seem to have found their backbone all of a sudden.

They believe that under Chris's leadership, these arrogant junior brothers in front of them will soon be taken down by them.

For no reason, for no reason.

That's how they feel, and they believe in it.

Zhang Han had heard Supervisor Ono say before that the real core player, no matter what position he plays.

As long as he is on the pitch, he will bring a huge change to his own team.

The originally loose team will immediately form a new team around him.

That's the heart of the team!

Such players have a very strong personal charm. They don't even have to do anything, every move can change the atmosphere on the field.

In the past, Zhang Han always thought it was Ono bragging.

Born in a giant team, he has an unforgettable impression of the gap between the giant team and the ordinary team.

In his mind, Matsukata had never been beaten by an ordinary team.

Even if Yu Xing, the young stick he is in, his reputation is not so prominent.

But that's also relatively speaking, compared to the giants, they are indeed weak. But compared to ordinary teams, they are more than one step stronger than each other.

Only one player, only one core player.

I just want to lead a team to defeat a strong enemy.

Such a plot can only happen often in a two-dimensional world.

Under normal circumstances, unless the weaker side is lucky, it will be difficult for them to win.

At the end of the day, baseball isn't a game that can be played by one person.

This is Zhang Han's previous opinion, and he attaches great importance to this law.

But now I met Chris, even though the two sides had only been in a short fight.

Zhang Han can still feel that a core player has changed to the team.

Originally, he and Chris had also played against him when he was in middle school, and Chris was the captain of Kamemaru at that time.

Although Zhang Han had to admit Chris's talent, he was sure that Chris at that time was not as able to change a team on his own as he is now.

And now, he has.

Since he came on the field, the atmosphere of the veteran team has indeed changed a lot.

This was quickly reflected in the score.

"you!"

The second-year senior named Jun Izaki is the guy with a mustache who doesn't look like a good person.

stunned to hit a ball that deviated from the good ball belt and flew it out.

Miyuki, who was in the position of the catcher, obviously didn't expect such a situation. The delicate brows furrowed tightly.

Although the mustachioed senior usually looks quite scary, when he is practicing blows, he is not very outstanding.

Originally, Miyuki thought that his threat level was not high.

Who would have thought that when it came to the real competition, this guy would be like a doping.

Able to burst 120%, or even 150% of its own strength.

"Ping..."

The baseball is knocked out, and Miyuki is desperately looking for someone to fill the hole.

But where is the time?

The cooperation of the previous freshman team was mainly completed by the four people who were promoted to the second army.

Kataoka's supervisors and coaching staff, with their eyes like torches, really discovered the potential of the four people.

After two or three weeks of practice, they now have the strength of no less than the second-army players.

But there are only 4 of them, and the other newcomers, LL obviously can't reach that level. It's just a matter of playing the game smoothly, and once they face the challenge alone, their flaws are quickly revealed.

Izaki Jun relied on a not-so-outstanding hit to run to second base in one go.

After that, the offense seemed to come naturally, playing and running, forcing points to score.

The players of the veteran team, in the fourth game, successfully recovered the first point.

The score became 3:1.

And that's not all, the freshmen made mistakes in the guard.

The runner could have been blocked, but the block failed, and the first baseman missed.

The runner not only broke through the first base, but even crossed the first base and ran to the second base.

The situation became one out, and there was someone on second base.

Chris, who has just been brought on the field, is in this situation, standing in the strike zone.

The players of the veteran team obviously recognize Chris's strength very much.

Seeing Chris standing in the strike zone, their noisy voices doubled.

Miyuki's blood was boiling.

Ever since he started on the Qingdao High School baseball team, he has been looking forward to this scene all the time, competing fairly with Chris in a game.

Regardless of the end result? He enjoyed the process.

Come on, throw your most proud pitch.

Miyuki's status has reached 120% of its usual level.

But his partner, at this time, there was a problem.
