Chapter 6: My Bat Is Hungry and Thirsty...

Zhang Han felt discriminated against.

Playing against the past two seniors of the Qingdao High School baseball team, not only the other friends are looking forward to it, but he is also looking forward to it.

As soon as he got the news, he had already done all the warm-up and was ready to play.

As a result, Takashima Rei actually told him directly that he had no chance.

"It's too bullying!"

Zhang Han retreated helplessly, looking at the excited friends around him, standing in the strike zone one by one, his eyes were almost red.

"I didn't expect you to be so positive?"

Yu Xing looked at Zhang Han curiously.

"As for me, aren't you the same?"

Yu Xing basically came with Zhang Han, and the warm-up speed was faster than Zhang Han.

"I'm different."

Miyuki smiled on his face, "I don't mean that much to the team. You're different, as the core hitter in our team, can you be a little more conscious? ”

"What realization?"

Zhang Han really didn't understand.

"Knowing the ace of the giant team, why don't you play against your own team's strong stick when you practice pitching?"

Zhang Han immediately understood.

Contradictory self!

If it's against another team, it doesn't matter if it's the team's pitcher or the hitter. When there is a difficulty, that is, there is a difficulty.

As the core and main players of the Seido High School baseball team, if they don't even realize this, they won't play.

But in their own team, the team's ace and core hitter rarely face each other head-to-head.

During the practice, whether the ace's pitch is continuously hit or the hitter is continuously solved, it may affect the player's mentality.

Once there is a problem with the mentality of the players, it is easy to have problems in the next official competitions.

"I'm not a porcelain doll!"

Zhang Han pouted unconvinced.

Even if he is really hit, Zhang Han thinks that the impact on himself will not be great.

His heart, although not as big as Sawamura, is not so thick-skinned. But after the general test and training, Zhang Han didn't think that he could defeat himself.

"Xiao Li is not afraid that you will be defeated!"

The possibility of Zhang Han being defeated probably never appeared in Takashima's mind.

What she is really worried about is Xiuze.

Although Hidesawa did not make it to the professional team, he went to college and joined the varsity team in college.

Now he is the main player of their school, an important rotation ace.

Takashima relied on the old friendship, and it was already good to ask someone to help.

It's impossible to deliberately make trouble for others.

Zhang Han's striking strength has been verified by many top pitchers in the country.

Once he is in full swing, what kind of combat power will he burst out? For the Qingdao High School baseball team's own friends, it is an unknown.

If this happens, he accidentally knocks his senior Xiuze into collapse, which affects Xiuze's current pitching state.

After people go back, how will they explain to his current coach?

You can't say that you went back to the Qingdao High School baseball team to help, but you were beaten and collapsed by your own junior, right?

It's too embarrassing......

The key is such a reason, Xiuze's current supervisor listens to it, and it is estimated that he can laugh off his big teeth.

In order to avoid this embarrassing situation, Zhang Han still chose to watch from the wall.

Xiuze himself had no desire to fight Zhang Han.

He had already set his eyes on the rest of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

"Who's the first to come up?"

Xiuze looked at the eager juniors, and also felt that his fighting spirit was high.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

After entering the university, they changed from the original junior high school seniors to the first year of college.

The days of being a junior are always a little harder.

Now that he is back on the Seongdo High School baseball team, he suddenly has regained his original feeling and is an ace in the Seongdo High School baseball team.

And his current status is a senior.

Xiuze, who has been a junior for half a year, still misses this feeling very much. To see who is not pleasing to the eye, you don't need to hide it, just say it.

"I'll do it!"

Jun Izaki was the first to stand up.

As the vice captain of the current Qingdao High School baseball team, as long as the team encounters difficulties, he is very willing to be the first to rush out and shelter the students behind him.

From the perspective of seniors alone, Jun Izaki is undoubtedly a very qualified senior and vice-captain.

The problem is that his eyes are a little fierce, and he is a little ruthless when he speaks.

He works well with the captain Tetsuya Yuuki, although his style is different from that of the former captain of the Seido High School baseball team.

But the two of them are guiding the team forward in a different way.

It's like now, facing the former ace who returned from college, he is the first in the team to stand up.

"You kid is so positive at all times. Come on......"

Faced with Izaki's challenge, Hidesawa nodded briskly.

"Senior, I won't show mercy to you just because you're a senior."

Standing on the strike zone, Jun Izawaki suddenly changed his momentum.

When he first spoke, he was a hot-tempered junior. But when it comes to the real fight, the momentum that erupts from this man's body is very amazing.

Although he has no experience of competing in Koshien, Jun Izawaki, who won the Kanto Convention championship with the team, is no longer the naughty junior that Hidesawa knew before.

Seeing Izaoshiki's pure performance, the melon-eating crowd who hid on the sidelines to watch the game were very excited.

"What's the point of simple exercises, that's what it's all about."

I finally met the ace of the Qingdao High School baseball team, and it would be a pity if the two sides didn't collide with a volcano and hit the earth.

For the friends, it feels very good now, making them enthusiastic one by one, looking forward to the next showdown.

On the other side, Tanaka, the former captain of the Seido High School baseball team, has also changed into the equipment for batting.

He asked with a smile as he looked at the new pitcher lineup of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

"Which of you comes first?"

Tanba, Kawakami, he knew both.

Tanba was originally their main player in the third grade.

Although Kawakami was a little younger and was not promoted to the First Army at that time, he already had a reputation in the Second Army.

Especially after the end of the competition, Dong Qingguo took special care of this junior, so that Tanaka and their current contestants are also very familiar with Kawakami.

In addition to Tanba, Tanaka is also very curious about Kawakami, and I don't know what happened to the pitcher who was favored by Higashi at the beginning?

As for the two first-year rookie pitchers, of course, he had never seen them before, but he had also heard rumors about these two people, especially about Akira Tsukiya.

The young man is not very old, but his fame is very loud.

Wait a minute, why does that person sneak in look so familiar?

"Are you going to pitch too?"

Tanaka looked at Zhang Han, who had just mixed in, suspiciously.

Zhang Han felt that he had been discriminated against again, which made him very dissatisfied.

He turned and pointed to the back number behind him.

The number was unusually conspicuous, with only one number, and it was the smallest of the singular numbers.

Number 1!

Speaking of which, Zhang Han is the real trump card of the Qingdao High School baseball team. Although so far, the Qingdao High School baseball team has never played him as an ace.

But even if he has never played, he is still an upright No. 1 player, recognized as the ace of the team.

It's okay to be ignored on the batter's side, but it's ignored on the pitcher's side.

Then Zhang Han really wants to ask, what is going on?

"You can't bully people like that!"

Zhang Han put on a very aggrieved look.

But his pitiful appearance was not able to win the sympathy of Takashima Rei.

"Forget it, Zhang Han!"

Zhang Han stared pitifully at Takashima Rei.

Let Takashima Rei have no choice but to finish the following words.

But she didn't compromise either.

"It's not like I'm acting arbitrarily, Tanaka-kun, are you going to fight Xiao Han?"

Zhang Han's expression made Takashima Rei unable to drive him off the pitcher mound without any guilt.

So she kicked the ball directly to Tanaka.

Tanaka hesitated.

Compared with the other players in the current team, the most familiar person in the field is, of course, Zhang Han.

Last year, when Zhang Han just started practicing pitching, they, as seniors, also played Zhang Han as a practice object.

is standing in the strike zone and facing off against Zhang Han in a serious way.

At the beginning, it was okay, although Zhang Han's ball speed was fast, the trajectory was simple, and it was easy to hit.

But later, as Zhang Han's pitching became more and more pure, the baseball thrown became faster and faster......

It seems that except for the Eastern Qing Kingdom, it is difficult for others to encounter.

Among the others, including the previous captain Kakuei Tanaka.

I don't know when it started, and it was difficult for Tanaka to even touch Zhang Han's pitching.

After entering the university, Kakuei Tanaka felt that his strength had improved.

But this increase is not very large......

This also means that compared with last autumn, he has not made any step-by-step progress.

On the other hand, Zhang Han has created miracles again and again in the competition. Especially in the final of the Kanto Conference, he threw a baseball, but it successfully caused a huge sensation.

In this case, does he really want to fight Zhang Han?

After he entered the university, the little strength that he had finally improved would be beaten back to his original form because of this duel?

Quite possibly.

Kakuei Tanaka is not a talented player like Dong Kiyokuni and Hidezawa.

The talent he possesses, in the Qingdao High School baseball team, if not at the bottom, is also in the middle of the bottom.

Being able to be the captain of the team and even one of the troika of the Seido High School baseball team last year.

Kakuei Tanaka relies more on his own sweat and hard work.

And he is an extremely calm person at heart, he knows very clearly what he wants and what he should want......

And what can you do yourself?

If something beyond your ability is beneficial or harmless, then you might as well challenge it.

If there is a risk that you cannot afford to take, this has to be carefully considered.

"Forget it, my old arms and legs can't stand the toss."

Captain Kakuei Tanaka refused.

Zhang Han had an expression of disbelief.

His personal relationship with the former captain is generally good. Although it is not as good as Dongqingguo, it is definitely much stronger than other seniors.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the former captain firmly stood on the side of Takashima Rei.

Zhang Han suddenly had a feeling of betrayal.

"Senior, don't you love me anymore?"

There was such a meaning in his eyes, and it was very clear.

Kakuei Tanaka, with a hint of guilt.

However, he did not change his mind just because he saw Zhang Han's eyes.

Rei Takashima spread her hands.

That means telling Zhang Han that it wasn't her who stopped it, but Tanaka's own unwillingness.

It has nothing to do with her.

"Just let me come first, senior!"

Koichiro Tanba rushed out first.

Kakuei Tanaka was slightly stunned.

In his original impression, Danba, who was one year younger than him, was the ace of the Qingdao High School baseball team for a while.

But the impression left on everyone is really not good.

Tamba's weaknesses in character were so obvious that they affected the game several times. If it weren't for him, the Seido High School baseball team might not have lost to Inagi in the fall competition.

Including Kakuei Tanaka, the players of their current year basically don't like Tanba.

If it weren't for being extremely disappointed in him, Dongqingguo would not have cultivated Kawagami, who was two years younger than them.

But if there are other people in this edition that Tambo can use, it will be difficult for him to become the ace of the team last autumn.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year, the young man who was submissive in front of them in the past has completely changed.

The current Koichiro Tanba looks very sunny, and when he speaks, his spirit is bright.

Fight against yourself head-on, and dare to take the initiative to stand up and take on the responsibility of a third-year pitcher.

"I'm going to be very bold about it."

Tanaka nodded imperceptibly.

As the former captain of the Qingdao High School baseball team, he is still very willing to see this kind of change in his younger brother.

"Then let me try to see if your current strength is as powerful as your mouth."

The duel between the two sides began in full swing.

Zhang Han, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, was thrown aside by everyone.

He stood with Dong Qingguo and watched the duel on the field.

"Don't underestimate our two junior brothers, their strength is very tricky."

Zhang Han took the initiative to take on the work of commentary, and introduced to Dongqingguo, who he had not seen before, and Sawamura Rongjun, who had fought against Dongqingguo twice.

"This silly boy has become a decent boy now."

Although I didn't watch Sawamura's game on the court, I could see it somewhat by looking at his basic actions of pitching.

This little guy has really become different.

The concentration of his pitching and the smoothness of the whole movement have changed visibly from the last time Dong Qingguo met.

You must know that it has only been about a month since the last time the two met.

To be able to make such tremendous progress in such a short period of time, it is no wonder that the Eastern Qing Congress was surprised!

"This guy didn't have any baseball foundation before, and he only learned baseball when he came to our team. It's normal to progress faster. ”

Of course, Zhang Han also knew that Sawamura Rongjun's progress was fast.

It's just that in his opinion, there is nothing to make a fuss about.

Whether it is Sawamura or Shibuya Xiao, although they have some foundations before, these foundations are basically explored by themselves.

Standing at the height of Zhang Han, it is difficult to admit that they have such a foundation, how much effect can they have?

Of course, as long as you exercise, you will definitely grow and improve. The most notable ones are physical strength and pitching.

The reason why these two little guys, who have just joined the team not long ago, were able to keep up with the progress of the Qingdao High School baseball team so quickly and became a blockbuster.

It has a lot to do with the fact that they worked hard to squeeze their limits in the middle of the country.

Other than that, that's it.

In other words, these two guys really learned baseball after they entered the Qingdao High School baseball team.

As beginners, they are definitely progressing fast.

After all, it will never come, and this span can be said to be subversive.

Coupled with their previous foundation, it is reasonable to have the current level under the accumulation.

It's like Zhang Han himself.

When I first joined Matsukata and first learned baseball, the speed of progress was also very scary.

In the summer of the first grade, Zhang Han was already able to represent Matsukata Young League in official competitions.

In just half a year, he can serve as the main force of the giants, and this speed of progress is even more terrifying than the current Sawamura Rongchun and Tsukitani Xiao combined.

It's just that after that, Zhang Han's strength entered a period of slow growth, although there was progress, but it was not so obvious.

It wasn't until he entered the Qingdao High School baseball team that the foundation accumulated in three years exploded.

Although Zhang Han was on the Qingdao High School baseball team, after receiving professional training, he showed the strength that shocked the whole country now.

But his foundation was laid in Matsukata Shaoba.

Sawamura and Akira Shibuyani waited until they entered the Seido High School baseball team to really hone their strength.

Zhang Han's method of using himself as a reference is definitely wrong. He was wrong about this standard reference from the beginning.

So he didn't know at all how scary the progress shown by the teenagers named Akira Tsukitani and Eijun Sawamura was?

Dong Qingguo glanced at Zhang Han thoughtfully, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Several third-year players on the Qingdao High School baseball team who came on the court to hit the ball performed very well, and basically hit the ball out.

Although the position of someone is not very good, you can know at a glance that they may be killed, or blocked.

But there are some of them, who are in good positions and look very good at getting hits.

In this way, it is very interesting.

Seeing the seniors hitting the ball out continuously, especially considering that the one who is facing them now is the ace pitcher of the Seongdo High School baseball team last year.

Hidezawa who once threw a ball on Koshien Field.

Qingdao friends, I am still very excited.

In their eyes, Senior Xiuze's pitching, even if it is not as good as Cheng Gongming, should not be much worse......

In this way, when they play against the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team in a few days, the seniors will definitely be able to hit the ball.

There's nothing to be afraid of......

Since they had won Inagi Industrial at the Kanto Conference, they would definitely win this time.

The duel was so exciting, Dong Qingguo, who had been watching the game, suddenly felt itchy in his hands.

"You're too embarrassed like this, let me teach these guys who don't know the height of the sky a good lesson......"

He finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to play directly.
