Chapter 33: I Can't Bear to Look at It (Part 3)

A new member of the Qingdao Road is on the field!

This is a relief for the players of Qingquan Temple.

These guys who used to call for wind and rain in Koshien are really terrifying. They feel like what they've seen on TV before is just a little bit of what they've shown.

As for the true strength of these players, I am afraid that only those who have fought can really see clearly.

Qingdao, it's terrifying!

With these grassroots players, they don't seem to be creatures in the world.

The players who are on the court now in Qingdao, although they seem to be five big and three thick, are not the type to be messed with at first glance. But compared to the players who have had Koshien experience and performed well in Koshien, they look much cuter.

"Stop it!"

"Take it easy, take it easy~"

The pitcher's mound, West River, also knew that with a five-point gap, it would be difficult for them to turn the tide of the game.

Fortunately, the friends were mentally prepared beforehand, and they would not collapse because they were going to lose the game.

In that case, let's enjoy the fun of playing against the Koshien team, shall we?

Xihe comforted himself.

Because the loss was too bad, because the defeat was too fast. The players of Qingquan Temple, including their trump card Xihe, were not too unwilling.

They can accept the result with peace of mind and enjoy the game.

Seoha has even adjusted his condition and is ready to let the players of the Seido High School Gang team come to see his pitching as well.

As for the fact that he was hit a home run by Zhang Han, he didn't want to think too much about it. If he was immersed in that matter, he would have no way to compete with the opponent in front of him.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball flew over, and the speed was even slower than expected. So much so that it can be easily seen by the hitter, the changes that come with baseball.

Zengzi Tou, who was in the strike zone, stared at the eyes as big as copper bells, and watched as a ball flew over and landed into the trapper's glove.

During the whole process, he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping it.

Long before going on the court, in fact, the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team had carefully studied Xihe's pitching. This player's pitching is very interesting, and in the first three games, the beaters who suppressed it did not have any temper at all.

Comparing hearts to hearts, changing their team's current ace Tanbo to the same position, he may not be able to do it to that extent.

So why can this man, who can only pitch at a speed of 120 kilometers, have such a magical performance?

Even if they don't know the specific reason, they have some guesses in general. This man, named Xihe, must have mastered the ability to make the pitch delicately varied.

This is what makes his opponents repeatedly miss the ball.

This kind of ability is something that the players of the previous Seido High School baseball team are particularly afraid of. Ryosuke Kominato and Jun Izashaki didn't choose to face Nishikawa head-on, in fact, because they didn't know, what was this change?

But Zhang Han, through his own practical actions, conveyed a particularly important message to the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Since you don't know what the change in baseball is, wait until the ball is fully in your hand, wait for that change to come out, and then swing the bat.

As long as you swing the baton fast enough and move decisively enough, the ball will definitely hit it!

As for the teams that played against Qingquan Temple before, why didn't they do that?

The Seongdo players came to the conclusion that there could be two reasons.

One was that I didn't expect it at all, and the other was that I couldn't do it at all.

Xihe's ball speed, no matter how inconspicuous, is 120 kilometers. When this speed, fleeting in front of you, is still very scary.

It's not just any player who can wait for the baseball to be fully in their hands before swinging the bat.

Even the players of the Seido High School baseball team are not able to do it. Not to mention, the other grassroots school beaters.

It's not a coincidence that Qingdao has just played this beater. After entering high school, under the influence of Tetsuya Yuuki, he swung his stick hundreds of times a day.

You say that the ball is 130 or 40 kilometers, and let him wait for the ball to come into hand before swinging the bat, that may be a bit reluctant.

But one hundred and twenty kilometers, apparently, is within his reach.

When the second ball came, Zengzi, who was as strong as a wild boar, swung his bat at the flying baseball.

He waited until the baseball was fully in hand and the subtle changes unfolded before he began to aim.

In this way, it is natural to hit one by one.

"Ping!"

The small white ball that was hit, drawing an arc in the sky, fell into the outfield.

The garrison players of Qingquan Temple are very hardworking. Two outfielders hurried to the landing point of the baseball.

But it was still a step too late, and they could only watch the baseball hit the ground and bounce in front of their eyes.

"Outfield!"

"Fly straight into the field!"

In the rest area of Qingdao, the friends were very excited.

Zhang Han also had a smile on his face.

Zengzi seniors still have a little bit of the momentum of their third-grade seniors in the Eastern Qing Kingdom before.

Swing the stick with all your might, without the slightest hesitation.

Next, the days of Qingquan Temple are probably going to be very difficult.

Eighth bat, outfielder, Itai.

He also waited for the ball to be fully in his hand before swinging the bat, but with a little less luck, the baseball was caught in the outfielder's glove.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

Two outs, two on second base.

This is how new players come on the court, some people are happy and some are worried.

The players of Qingquan Temple have regained a little self-confidence.

But Zhang Han couldn't watch their struggles anymore.

Masuko, Bani......

Maybe it's a very scary monster in an ordinary high school, and it's definitely a four-stick monster. But in the Qingdao High School baseball team, their strength is also ranked in the middle of the bottom. To put it irreverently, these two seniors are probably at the bottom of all the main players in the first army.

Even they can wait for Xihe's ball, and then swing the bat to hit the ball after it is fully thrown.

That proves that Xihe's ball is no longer a threat to the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Maybe their players have a set of guards, and they can even barely keep up with the level of giants.

But so what, when Xihe, who they regarded as their spiritual pillars, was bowled out again and again.

How long will they be able to hold out?

"Ninth batter, outfielder, Aso."

After Zhang Han, Yu Xing, and Kuramochi, the first player to be promoted to the main selection was Aso, who became the team's four stickers when he was in junior high school.

Superintendent Kataoka had great expectations for his blow.

And Aso's first appearance did not disappoint Kataoka. He hit the ball out nicely and scored a hit.

Two outs, one or three bases.
