Chapter 41: Produced by Zhang Han, the disappearing straight ball

"Zhang Han!"

After hearing Dong Qingguo's words, everyone's eyes on the field were on Zhang Han.

"It's hard for Mr. Dong to go back to school, and he hasn't experienced the new dishes in our cafeteria, right? Would you like to have a meal and rest first, and then I'll ...... again?"

Minister Ota emerged from the crowd and spoke.

At this time, when he said such things, of course, he represented more than his personal opinion.

The coaches of the Seido High School baseball team, including Superintendent Kataoka, did not agree to this matchup.

Originally, they didn't care.

But after watching the blows of the Eastern Qing Kingdom, they had to admit that in the past few months, the Eastern Qing Kingdom has become a little unrecognizable.

Truth be told, it's actually pretty easy to explain.

On the surface, the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team have only been able to see Dongqingguo for about half a year.

To be precise, he hasn't seen each other much since he participated in the draft.

But in fact, everyone has not seen Dong Qingguo show his strength on the court for nearly a year.

If he hadn't been idle......

This doesn't need to be if, after watching the blow of Dong Qingguo just now, the people of the Qingdao High School baseball team can basically be sure.

Dongqingguo is definitely not idle.

Even during the time he left the team, he must have been actively improving his strength.

Now he has not only overcome his previous weaknesses, but his comprehensive striking strength has also been greatly improved.

If Zhang Han duels against him, he may not be able to take advantage.

Now that the summer tournament is about to begin, everyone on the Seongdo High School baseball team is reluctant to make a difference.

In this case, this duel looks meaningless.

At least for the Seido High School baseball team, there is no benefit.

Dong Qingguo's eyes widened, and he wanted to say something dissatisfied.

If it had been a year ago, he would have said it without hesitation.

But now, he has been in the professional team for half a year, and he has experienced Koshien and the draft......

It's no longer the junior boy in high school who doesn't care about it.

He quickly figured out Minister Ota's intentions, and also understood that this should be the meaning of all the supervisors and coaches.

"Okay......"

A little unwilling, but Dongqingguo did not mean to cause trouble to his alma mater.

Seeing that this matter is about to be suppressed.

Zhang Han, who had been pushed in front of him, suddenly spoke.

"It won't take much time, so let the senior play my ball."

"Zhang Han!"

Minister Ota listened to Zhang Han's words and immediately became nervous.

In the case that the Eastern Qing Kingdom has given up, Zhang Han said such things at this time, which is tantamount to provocation.

It is possible that Dongqingguo will see the face of Kataoka supervising them and mix up this matter.

But that's just for once.

If Zhang Han took the initiative to speak, Dongqingguo would not back down.

As Ota expected, after listening to Zhang Han's words, the entire Eastern Qing Kingdom went berserk.

"You want to hit once?"

"If the seniors don't mind, I'm happy to accompany you."

Zhang Han didn't run away, staring at Dong Qingguo's eyes and said.

"You two first-year imps, as annoying as ever. Come on! ”

Zhang Han is now a second-year senior.

However, in Dong Qingguo's heart, they are still first-year players. Who let Dongqingguo and the others when they were there, Zhang Han and them were first-year players.

Once this kind of thing has formed a stereotype, it is difficult to change it.

Dong Qingguo subconsciously shouted out the first grade.

This also means that Zhang Han now represents not only himself, but also those second-year players of the same age as him.

After the battle was decided, Ota dragged Zhang Han aside in dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Han rarely saw such an angry expression on Minister Ota's face, and he felt quite fresh.

"I didn't do anything, I just responded to the battle."

"Don't forget that you are the ace pitcher of the team now, you represent not only yourself, but also the momentum of the whole team, if you lose here, then ......"

Minister Ota had asked Superintendent Kataoka about this matter before. He may not understand it very well, but Superintendent Kataoka's opinion is definitely not wrong.

At this time, it is definitely a very dangerous thing to let Zhang Han confront Dongqingguo.

Zhang Han did not change his mind because of Minister Ota's words.

Instead, he patted Minister Ota's arm and stretched out his finger in the direction of Superintendent Kataoka.

Minister Ota followed Zhang Han's direction and happened to see Kataoka shaking his head at him.

Don't stop!

Minister Ota had a question mark in his head, didn't the previous Kataoka supervisor and the coaches of the coaching staff all think that Zhang Han should not be allowed to fight Dong Qingguo?

"The situation has changed, Minister."

Zhang Han nodded and gestured to the players around him.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on him.

"Since Senior Dong said those words, we have no way out. If I hadn't fought him here, everyone on the scene would have known that I ran away because I was afraid of losing. ”

That kind of result is the Qingdao High School baseball team, and there is no way to accept it anyway.

In contrast, Zhang Han had the courage to face off against Dongqingguo, even if he was hit a home run, everyone's momentum would not sink to the bottom.

After all, the opponent standing in front of them has long ceased to be a high school student.

It's a striker who has already entered the profession and has made a name for himself in the professional arena.

In the face of such an opponent, there is nothing to be ashamed of losing......

Not to mention, Zhang Han won't necessarily lose.

"Okay!"

Minister Ota nodded.

But speaking of which, these players on the Qingdao High School baseball team are all powerful enough.

Not only are they excellent individually, but their ability to read the situation is also first-class.

Yu Xing, Chris, plus Zhang Han.

Aside from Supervisor Kataoka and Coach Ochiai, even the coaches on the coaching staff may not be able to match them in this regard.

Minister Ota is even more not.

Even though these have become his work now, his research in this area is far less profound than that of the players who are interested in it.

"Which one do you choose, Chris or Miyuki?"

Minister Ota asked.

Senior Chris and Yuyuki Kazuya all looked at Zhang Han eagerly.

The growth of the Eastern Qing Kingdom successfully aroused the interest of these two. They desperately hope to be able to have a good fight with this senior who has evolved into a monster on the court.

"Miyuki!"

Zhang Han was not polite, and directly chose Yuxing.

It's not that Senior Chris is bad, it's just that in this situation, Zhang Han needs the power of Yuxing even more.

"Does anyone have a speedometer?"

Someone in the crowd asked.

As long as Zhang Han pitches on the court, the people of Qingdao will habitually go to get speed measurement equipment.

They are more looking forward to Zhang Han's pitching performance on the court than Zhang Han himself.

"Someone has already gone to get it."

It was determined that Zhang Han was going to have a showdown with Dongqingguo, and there were already people who couldn't help but get the equipment.

I don't know how fast they can see the ball this time?

When playing with the pharmacist high school baseball team in the practice game, Zhang Han's pitching was quite speechless.

It looks like it's scary.

But when I measured it with the equipment that tested the ball speed, it didn't feel that fast.

Privately, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team discussed for a long time, but they didn't figure out what was going on?

I just vaguely listened to Superintendent Kataoka discussing with others.,What kind of living pitching.。

How can pitching still have life?

I don't know if it's because of their ears, or if Kataoka is pretending to be sophisticated.

Regarding Zhang Han's ball speed, it has become a mystery within the Qingdao High School baseball team.

"I don't know which one is showing today?"

There are friends who are talking in private.

"Either way, I'm looking forward to it."

"Senior Dong's swing is very scary. I don't know who of these two monsters can be better? ”

The friends talked a lot, just like discussing the fight of the gods, and they were very interested.

The other side.

Yu Xing came to Zhang Han's side.

He was still wearing the catcher equipment he had just had, and asked Zhang Han seriously.

"Do you have any plans to pitch?"

Zhang Han deliberately asked him to be his partner, and Yu Xing thought that he must have thought of a strategy in advance.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Han shook his head a few times.

"There's no strategy, it's head-to-head. All my pitches are aimed at the good ball band in the center. ”

Crazy?

Miyuki's eyes widened in surprise.

Soon, though, he thought of something and calmed down again.

"You want to?"

Zhang Han had a smile on his face.

Obviously, Miyuki was not wrong.

"Wouldn't it be too risky, if it was a year ago, the probability of success would be very high. The current Dong senior's strength is also very scary. Your ball speed, he should be able to keep up. ”

"It's because he can keep up that he can't let him honestly stand there and observe."

When Zhang Han watched the duel between Dongqingguo and Sawamura, he obviously already had such plans and ideas.

"Then give it a try."

Miyuki felt his heart lift.

In the past, when he partnered with Zhang Han, no matter what the final result was, he was very relieved.

Zhang Han can bring this inexplicable feeling to people.

But now, he is not at all at ease.

Zhang Han, who has always been steady, chose such a risky duel, and he didn't know what the final result would be?

"I'm tired of waiting."

Dong Qingguo looked at the two people who stayed together and let out a bad smile, and his heart was inexplicably uneasy.

These two little bunnies, what the hell must they have in mind?

Because I can't guess what these two guys are thinking, Dongqingguo can't feel at ease anyway.

In the end, he could only take the initiative to interrupt the discussion between the two.

And his approach made the Qingdao friends who were watching the duel very surprised.

That is, it was only a minute or two, and the senior of Dongqing took the initiative to call the two to discuss countermeasures.

This would never have happened before.

Now, it's happening......

Higashi, who entered the professional baseball stadium, seems to be much more stingy than before. Even such small details are taken care of.

But it was precisely because of his performance that it also sounded the alarm for the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

The meaning of calculating also means that it is extremely important.

If Dongqingguo was sure of victory, it seemed unnecessary for him to do so.

"Right away."

Zhang Han and Yu Xing exchanged glances, and the two of them each came to the position where they should be.

"Need a warm-up ball?"

The Eastern Qing Kingdom is very generous.

Letting Zhang Han throw a warm-up ball can allow him to move his arms earlier.

Of course, Dongqingguo can also take the opportunity to observe Zhang Han's pitching, what kind of road is it?

It's not all-out pitching though.

But seeing the subtleties, through this detail, you should also be able to see some of Zhang Han's pitching strength and style.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Han did not have the slightest kindness to lead the Eastern Qing Kingdom.

"No need, I've just warmed up."

Dong Qingguo suddenly had a feeling of being dumb and eating Coptis chinensis.

He had a very bad premonition, and in the duel between him and Zhang Han, the other party had always firmly grasped the initiative.

In this case, he is very likely to lose.

But as a former senior, Dong Qingguo can't show too much. Let him take the initiative to make any requests, he has no way to make a mouth.

"It's officially started, and the winner is determined by one game."

With the order of the interim referee Jun Isashiki.

Zhang Han threw his first ball.

The white ball, like a dazzling white light, instantly crossed a space of more than ten meters and came to the front of the beater.

Originally, Dong Qingguo wanted to observe a ball first.

Last year, Zhang Han showed unparalleled pitching talent. At that time, Dongqingguo could still stay in the team and practice alone.

He knows Zhang Han's pitching very well, so he wants to observe a ball first and get to the bottom of it.

But the baseball that flew over was aimed at the good ball belt in the center.

The ball is still straight.

If he chooses to let go of such a ball, then he will not be able to forgive himself in his life.

"You kid, you asked for it!"

Dong Qingguo raised the bat in his hand high, aimed at the flying white baseball, and hit it hard.

The speed of baseball is fast, and the speed of Dongqingguo is not slow.

Although it is not just right, as long as the bat touches the baseball, there is still a high probability of hitting the field.

Today, there is no one in charge of garrisoning.

In other words, once the baseball is scored in the field, no matter how unreasonable it is, the duel is won by Dongqingguo.

Pregnant!

Although it was a bit rushed, baseball was also frighteningly fast.

But Dongqingguo still has a feeling of stability.

Seeing that the bat was about to touch the baseball, Dong Qingguo was empty.

The bat went straight through the white baseball without any obstruction, as if it were all air.

What about balls?

Dong Qingguo looked confused.

Then he heard the sound of a baseball burrowing into a glove.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"
