Chapter 25: A home run that belongs to Zhang Han alone! (1st Update)
The first-year substitute who was substituted played Haruichi Kominato and took the lead in scoring a hit.
At the beginning, people were amazed by the performance of this first-year newcomer, but no one expected that things would develop like that.
The first baton of the warehouse holding, with the small Minato spring city double steal base, and it was successful.
"They're targeting Thunder City......"
The players on the Yakushi High School baseball team were a little caught off guard.
But the choice of the Qingdao High School baseball team, in their opinion, was actually expected.
If you change your heart, if you change them, it is very likely that you will also aim at Thunder City to attack.
Don't look at the thunder city, there are often some unexpected performances. But compared to the rest of the Yakushi High School baseball team, he still has too little game experience.
So, once in a while, mistakes that shouldn't be made are made.
It was as if just now, he actually had a chance to stop Kurachi. But because of the distraction at the beginning, coupled with a passing error.
Let the Seido High School baseball team win an extra base.
Of course, the most important thing is the four bad balls selected by Ryo Kominato, the second batter.
The beaters behind Ryosuke Kominato are Zhang Han and Yuuki. To tell the truth, even Sanada doesn't want to face off against these two when the bases are full.
So when he faced off against Ryosuke Kominato, Sanada anxiously wanted to use some corner change balls to solve this difficult opponent.
It was precisely because he had such an idea that he was completely passive in the entire duel.
The more anxious Sanada was to get the good ball, the harder it was to throw the good ball belt.
finally threw it in, and was ruthlessly swept out of bounds by Ryosuke Kominato.
This kind of blow is enough to make anyone feel hopeless.
Sanada was no exception, and by the time he reached the seventh goal against Ryosuke Kominato, his mentality had collapsed.
At that time, if Ryosuke Kominato aimed for the boundary, he would have a chance to score a hit, or even a score.
But Ryosuke Kominato didn't do that.
On the surface, the Seido High School baseball team is in excellent shape right now.
But all the players, including Ryosuke Kominato, have begun to have problems to a greater or lesser extent.
It's not that their fighting spirit and consciousness can't keep up, it's mainly that with their current physical state, no one dares to guarantee what will happen next?
This offensive opportunity is too precious for the Qingdao High School baseball team!
Absolutely not, just let it go......
With this realization, Ryosuke Kominato deliberately let go of the ball he might have hit at the right time, opting for a four-bad shot as the last straw that broke the camel's back.
In the end, he got what he wanted, won the four bads, and was escorted to first base.
Kuramochi and Kominato Haruichi, who were originally on first and second base, were pushed to second and third base in order.
No one is out, full base.
The next hitter on the field was Zhang Han.
Zhang Han stood in the strike zone.
Behind him, Tetsuya Yuuki had already changed into his helmet and gloves, and stood in a position waiting for the blow, staring at him.
Don't look at the current Yakushi High School baseball team, which is three points ahead of the Seido High School baseball team.
But it feels like it's not them who have the initiative on the field, but Seido High School, which is three points behind.
Yakushi High School was cornered by the Seido High School baseball team and had to struggle desperately.
If they choose to resist, maybe they still have a chance to live, and if they don't resist, it won't be long before they can only disarm and surrender.
"It's really worthy of being the strongest line in the country!"
In the rest area of the Yakushi High School baseball team, Superintendent Thunder Zang was moved.
Because Zhang Han and Tetsuya Yuki have extremely strong individual striking strength, people will naturally think of them when they mention the line-up of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
As a result, the players in other positions on the Qingdao High School baseball team were compared to them.
It's like when the moon is in the sky, people's eyes have been attracted by the moon, and there is no way to notice the stars.
But in fact, the reason why the Qingdao High School baseball team is called the strongest line in the country is due to Yuki and Zhang Han.
But if it's just the two of them, even if the two of them are a little stronger in individual strikes, the Qingdao High School baseball team will not be able to become the strongest team in the country.
A line of play not only needs the two of them as the core offensive main force, but also needs reliable support.
It's like right now, the first-year newcomers who have just come on the field, and their first and second basemen.
Before it was Zhang Han's turn and Yuki to go on the field, they had already seized the slightest opportunity and successfully filled all the base bags.
You know, as far as today's game is concerned, Sanada's performance is very scary.
He perfectly showed all his characteristics, which was the best game he threw except for the game against Inagi.
The Qingdao High School baseball team has also been suppressed enough, and has not been able to find any opportunities to close the score gap.
It was just a momentary slip-up......
Because of Zhang Han's strong performance, the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team were a little shocked, and all the players, including Sanada, performed a little slower.
There is really only a little bit left, and the gap between them and their previous perfect state, if it weren't for an old bird like Thunder Hide, it would be enough to be able to distinguish it.
However, it was this gap that could not be hidden from the eyes of the players on the Seido High School baseball team.
They saw it, seized the opportunity, and hit the ball out without a hitch.
Three bases in a row, the whole process, the pharmacist is like a dream.
Most importantly, the difficulties and challenges they face next are not something they can escape.
Zhang Han, Yuuki!
Even though the Yakushi High School baseball team is now playing official games instead of practice games.
There is no way for them to escape the confrontation with these two people.
If they lose the duel, they just lose points, and as long as their momentum is still there, they can always find a chance to fight back.
If they dodge the matchup, the Qingdao High School baseball team will take advantage of the situation to push the runner on third base to home plate.
At that time, the Yakushi High School baseball team will not only lose points, but also lose people......
The last bit of confidence of the players will also be consumed because of the strategy they did not plant.
You can't do that, you can't do it anyway.
The Yakushi High School baseball team, don't look at the current performance is very strong, compared with the three giants in West Tokyo, it doesn't seem to be much worse.
They seem to have become the biggest spoilers in Western Tokyo.
But the more this happens, the more they can't back down.
There is a very important reason why the Yakushi High School baseball team can win the current momentum and reputation, that is, because they are a dark horse team, but they are not afraid at all when facing giants, and they can be tough and tough.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
The most important thing for the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team is the obsession and courage to win.
They have the determination to fight to the death with their opponents, and they have the courage to drag the king off their horses......
Because of this, their players can play 100 percent, or even 120 percent, on the court.
Putting this aside, if you simply let the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team compete with the core and main players of the three giants in Western Tokyo, physical fitness and skills.
Aren't they uncomfortable with themselves?
How could they be the opponents of those gifted, professionally trained monsters from childhood?
So don't look at the fierce performance of the pharmacist high school baseball team, but they also have great problems and flaws.
Having to be tough with your opponent is one of them, and it's a very lethal point.
Now, they're stuck in that cycle.
In the duel between Sanada and Zhang Han, losing points is basically a certainty.
The dream of directly striking Zhang Han, through the first two duels, Bang Lei Zang no longer dared to do it.
He only hoped that Zhang Han would not win the home run and then overtake the score in one fell swoop.
If that's the case, the trouble that the Yakushi High School baseball team will face is really big.
You must know that until now, the Yakushi High School baseball team has been out, and it has not been won yet.
……
on the pitch.
All around, there was the cheering and cheering of the Seido High School baseball team.
Although so far, they have not been able to win the lead, and even the score on the field, they are still three points behind their opponents.
However, the players of the Seido High School baseball team did not feel that they were lagging behind in the slightest when they stood on their feet to cheer.
They were all incredibly sure that the man who stood next in the strike zone would be able to change all that.
Zhang Han looked at his opponent expressionlessly.
The previous duel consumed a lot of Sanada's energy.
Zhang Han could see his confusion and incomprehension from Sanada's face.
To be honest, Sanada's pitching today was not bad, and even after his spirit was hit just now, Sanada's pitching could not be said to be a problem.
It's just that everything happened in a hurry!
After the first two rounds of adaptation, the friends of the Seido High School baseball team have gradually become accustomed to Sanada's pitching.
So even if Sanada didn't hesitate and was able to pitch exactly at his previous pace.
It was also difficult for him to deal with the hitters of the Seido High School baseball team as easily as before.
Not to mention, he had hesitated in a split second.
And this hesitation directly became the last straw that crushed the camel.
Of course, to be able to have such a good effect, Kominato Haruichi, who was the first to hit the ball, definitely contributed a lot.
It's as if Lady Luck is taking pity on this little guy.
You must know that according to the original arrangement of the Seido High School baseball team, although Kominato Haruichi has a good talent, Superintendent Kataoka has also promoted him to the first army and trained with a camp.
But he can really become the main player of the first army, I am afraid that it will have to wait until the third-year player officially graduates.
Compared with the performance of Kominato Haruichi, among the first-year newcomers, the presence of another contestant is obviously more than him.
That person is Jinguji.
Whether it's the achievements of the junior high school days or the performance of joining the Seido High School baseball team.
That guy is a well-deserved first among the first-year freshmen.
If Akira Shibuyani and Eijun Sawamura are not pitchers, but players in other positions.
Even these two guys are difficult to grab Jinguji Temple when they are competing for position.
Some people even nicknamed Jinguji and called him Zhang Han of the new era.
Just by this nickname, you can see how strong his presence is in the team?
This player has been recognized not only by his peers, but also by the coaches of the supervision and coaching staff.
Almost everyone thinks he's the one who should be promoted.
But at the Jingu Conference, he appeared twice and failed to score a hit.
If he is the only candidate, even if his performance is not perfect for a while, as long as he is given enough opportunities, he will usher in the time when he will become a blockbuster.
However, a small Minato Spring Market appeared in the Second Army.
At a time when the vast majority of the players on the Seido High School baseball team had nothing to do with Sanada.
It was this little guy who stepped up, scored a hit in one fell swoop, and helped the Qingdao High School baseball team blow the horn of the counterattack.
As long as you and Senior Yuuki keep up your efforts and get the score.
The credit of this little guy is certain.
In this way, I am afraid that Superintendent Kataoka will be entangled......
Did he choose the Jinguji temple that sweated more, performed more seriously, and achieved better results when practicing?
Or did you choose this Kominato Haruichi who was a little worse in practice but was able to surprise the team at a critical moment?
As long as I think of the scene where Superintendent Kataoka keeps scratching the back of his head, Zhang Han feels particularly interesting.
He couldn't wait for that moment to come.
In order to be able to see that scene as soon as possible, whatever the ball itself says, it must be played.
Fortunately, Superintendent Kataoka didn't know what Zhang Han thought.
If you let him know, his most important player is actually summed up in private, how to embarrass him.
I'm afraid Kataoka will be very hurt.
Here Zhang Han made up his mind, no matter what, he would play the baseball that Sanada threw over.
However, it's not that simple.
Sanada did suffer for a while after the base was full.
The main thing is that he really can't figure it out, why is it inexplicably full?
But this entanglement entangled him for about half a minute.
And then he actually adjusted.
Sanada is a very self-regulating player, and he quickly adjusted his form to focus more on the opponents he was about to face.
Zhang Han!
As early as a year ago, at the end of that summer competition, Zhang Han had already made a name for himself.
Even in the same division, Sanada himself has good pitching ability.
But when he looked at Zhang Han, he still only looked up.
Seeing the magazines and newspapers that reported on Zhang Han, Sanada also thought, I wonder if I have a chance to compete with this player?
At that time, the pharmacist did not have the strength he has now.
Whether or not they can meet the Qingdao High School baseball team depends entirely on their group's luck.
I didn't expect things to change so much in a year's time.
Now they can finally stand together in a dignified and hearty duel.
In the previous two matchups, he dropped a home run and was at a disadvantage overall.
But Sanada did not give up his intention to continue the showdown with Zhang Han.
He had been looking forward to this day for too long.
Until now, the surging blood in his body has not stopped.
He's going to face off, he's going to get rid of his opponent cleanly.
Sanada suddenly had high morale.
Zhang Han, who was standing on the strike zone, was the first to feel it.
He looked at Sanada, who was full of fighting spirit, and knew in his heart that this duel might not end so easily.
However, it shouldn't be difficult......
If Sanada can maintain his previous characteristics, as they did in their second duel, Zhang Han is not 100% sure of hitting the ball.
There is a very important reason why the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team can still hold their heads high, and that is because their strongest hitter, Thunder City, has already won two home runs.
And Zhang Han, who is known as a home run maniac, has only one.
In comparison, it seems that their family's strong stick is even stronger.
Zhang Han has no way to deny this.
Sanada's pitching level is there, and even if you see where he throws, it's hard to hit the ball.
But now, Sanada is in berserk mode.
In this way, Zhang Han does not have to guess what ball he will use.
Zhang Han glued his body tightly to the edge of the good ball belt, looking as if he had completely blocked the inside corner.
The pharmacist catcher, who had already made a code, saw this scene, and his eyes were straight.
Zhang Han, did you peek at their code? How else would he know they were going to take an inside corner?
With his posture like this, it will be difficult for Sanada to change the ball with the inside corner......
Once you use it, it will easily fall on Zhang Han.
The catcher hesitated to change the code.
However, Sanada, who was on the pitcher's mound, shook his head decisively.
"He found it himself, why should we hold back?"
Zhang Han's position does greatly block the pitching space for inside corners.
But in the same way, as long as he can stuff the ball into the corner of the inside corner, Zhang Han will have no way to shoot.
Sanada decided to bet!
The worst outcome is just a touch ball.
Zhang Han is not afraid, what else do they have to be afraid of?
Facing Zhang Han, who was close to the good ball belt in the inner corner, Sanada threw a ball from the inside corner sideline without hesitation.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins...
If you have more courage, the Yakushi High School baseball team will not lose.
The Qingdao friends who watched the game felt that their hearts were about to jump out.
"Danger!"
"Get out of the way!!"
It's just a mess.
It's just a practice game, Zhang Han doesn't need to be so serious.
Even if he can't hit this ball, so what? Even if this game is lost, so what?
These players of the Qingdao High School baseball team can not care about all.
They didn't want Zhang Han to get hurt anyway.
It's only a few days before the start of the summer competition, and if Zhang Han is injured......
The cruel result made the players of the Seido High School baseball team not even dare to think about it.
Just as they stood up anxiously, ready to stop this.
They saw something very incredible.
Zhang Han, who was originally standing close to the ball belt, suddenly smoothed back half a meter.
He staggered his steps, and he had already given up space to pitch. What was originally a difficult time for him to shoot a ball close to his body turned into a good ball in the center.
"Perfect!"
See your own well-designed strategy and implement it perfectly.
Zhang Han's inner sense of accomplishment is bursting.
He clenched the bat tightly in his hands with both hands and hit it hard.
"Ping!"
The straight ball, which was almost in the middle, was just hit into the sky.
The baseball flew more than 100 meters in the sky, smashed heavily on the net, and bounced several times before it fell.
"All, home run !!!"
At this moment, even Qingdao High School's own friends were dumbfounded.
Happiness came so suddenly that they weren't prepared at all.
Four points!
5:2 becomes 6:5.
The Qingdao High School baseball team overtook the score.
