Chapter 20: Rainbow! (2nd Update)

When Uehara threw the fifth variation ball, the players of the Seido High School baseball team couldn't keep their composure anymore no matter what.

This is also the first time they have seen such pitchers. There are so many mature variations to master, and almost every ball has the same pitching action.

"That doesn't make sense!"

Coach Ochiai pinched the mustache on his chin in the rest area, and he was about to pull the mustache off.

He couldn't figure it out.

It is every pitcher's dream to pitch the ball in the same position, and it is also the ideal pitching state for the ball.

But it's almost impossible to do that.

Straight ball is a variation of the ball, such as an ordinary straight ball, whether it is a two-stitch or a four-stitch ball.

Another example is a speed ball or a fork ball.

Both of these types are basically straight ball change balls, and by throwing straight balls, you can basically change the change of baseball by changing the way you hold the ball.

But the rest of the ball is different.

If you use the straight ball throwing method, it is difficult to throw a standard curveball or a slider, such a large variation of the ball.

Even the most powerful pitcher, when throwing this kind of ball, he just tries not to make the range of action too large, and then confuses the real with the fake.

This trump card of Hengxue is different from everyone's routine, all his pitching postures are straight ball throwing, but he can throw standard sliders and inside floating balls?

This is completely inconsistent with the structure of the human body, huh?

"How did he do it?"

Ochiai couldn't figure it out, let alone anyone else.

Only Yuuki, who was ready to go on the field and wait for the blow, had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

On the court, the expression on Zhang Han's face remained unchanged, as if he had deliberately let go of the ball just now.

He calmly watched his opponent and waited for Uehara to shoot a second shot.

A wordless pressure was pressed on Hengxue's casting partner.

The catcher, who was squatting on the ground and preparing to catch the ball, glanced at Zhang Han thoughtfully.

It's not easy!

It's really a super newcomer to Koshien, and this kind of pressure that seems to be like substance, and the pressure that makes people feel that it is difficult to breathe, is the first time he has felt it.

Even when he played against the senior of the city university before, he had never felt like this when facing a hitter of Ohmae and Hoshida's level.

"The meaning of solving this beater is different, let's go all out!"

It was this kind of advanced terrorist pressure that strengthened the determination of Hengxue's partner to solve Zhang Han.

They have a hunch that as long as they can solve Zhang Han here in a dignified manner, then their future games will be much easier.

On the contrary, the other players of the Qingdao High School baseball team may be afraid to fully display their strength in the future.

Uehara, who received the code, can be said to be in the middle of the picture, and he has been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

Uehara, who had planned for a long time, threw his second ball with all his might.

It was almost exactly the same position, Zhang Han deliberately paid attention to it, and even the movement of waving his arms was exactly the same.

Finger fork ball?

Zhang Han clutched his bat and prepared to shoot.

On the eve of his impromptu shot, Zhang Han suddenly had an ominous premonition, he stopped swinging his bat, and watched the baseball begin to fall before it entered the good ball belt.

And it's not a straight fall, it's an angled fall.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

Zhang Han was chased by two good balls.

But this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that the players in the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, who thought they already knew their opponents well, ended up with a backhand slap on the opponent's backhand.

The opponent voted the sixth variation.

Curveball!

In the rest area, even Chris can't maintain his image.

"Rainbow Ball Pitcher!"

"What is a rainbowball pitcher?"

Kuramochi asked inexplicably.

"I've only seen on TV before, pitchers with more than seven variations of the ball, called rainbowball pitchers. It's just that this kind of pitcher is difficult to grow, but because it is difficult to grow, once it grows, the strength can often reach a very high level. ”

Jinguji was on the side, and his eyes lit up.

He chose to join the Qingdao High School baseball team because he wanted to challenge this kind of super strong pitcher.

Now it seems that he chose to join the Qingdao High School baseball team really made the right choice. With such a high-ranking high school that is improving, he can indeed meet all kinds of top pitchers.

Just like now, even the legendary rainbow ball pitcher, he has seen it.

The only thing he regrets now is that he can't play and experience it for himself.

"I must be the right choice!"

Joining the first army is only a small goal, and only like Senior Zhang Han has become an indispensable main force of the team in the first grade.

to be able to represent the team earlier and play against the best pitchers from all walks of life across the country.

Naruto Narumiya, Shunhei Sanada, Manaka, Aoki, plus Uehara in front of him......

"High school baseball, it's so challenging!"

Zhang Han, who was chased by two good balls, to say that his mood did not fluctuate at all, it must be a lie.

Now the guy who is fighting against him, this guy named Uehara.

In the past, when I faced off against Kuramochi and Ryosuke Kominato, there were repeated balls, or straight balls were thrown.

But in the process of dueling with himself, there was not a single ball that he had thrown before, and all of them were balls that he had never thrown before.

It's a bit of a cow!

Even Zhang Han had never seen such an opponent before, and he was completely an unknown opponent.

How do you play against such an opponent?

You don't even know what the ball looks like? How can you get his ball out?

Just when Zhang Han was in distress, Uehara threw the third ball. Compared to the first two goals, this goal is a little lower.

Zhang Han stared at the ball intently, judging whether it was a curved ball or a finger fork ball?

This ball path ......

Gradually, Zhang Han seemed to see the trajectory of the baseball clearly.

Finger Fork Ball!

Zhang Han's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this guy is finally exhausted, if he comes up with a new change ball, this round of blows, Zhang Han may have no choice but to disarm and surrender.

But now that he throws the knuckle ball, it's no wonder that Zhang Han is ruthless.

saw the flying baseball, and at the moment when the baseball fell, Zhang Han made a decisive move.

"Ping!"

When the baseball was knocked out, almost all the eyes of the audience were chasing the small white ball.

No one noticed how stunned Zhang Han was after hitting the ball out.

He actually missed!

No, to be precise, he was tricked.

It wasn't a finger ball at all, it was a quick finger fork.

The name seems to be about the same, but the word fast has been added. But when it comes to baseball, it's a completely different concept.

The speed of the fast finger fork is a little faster, and the relative drop is smaller.

Zhang Han aimed at the fork ball to hit, and inevitably hit the ball high. Fortunately, he swung the bat with great power, even if he hit high, he also took the ball out fiercely.

So much so that there were many people at the scene who thought that baseball would always fly out of the field.

Even the more confident players raised their hearts and watched the baseball fly to the back of the field.
