Chapter 52: Two Balls on the Straight Ball (Second Update)
"What's going on?"
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
Zhang Han returned to the rest area to change his equipment, and couldn't help but ask his companions beside him.
His eyes were on home plate and he didn't notice the change behind him.
"Shirakawa's pass was intercepted by Narumiya. The guy didn't take care of first base at all and went straight to home plate. Just like a child, it's aimed at you! ”
Miyuki looked very closely, as he waited for the location of the strike zone.
Zhang Han nodded.
He wondered why Cheng Gongming stuck out his tongue at him when he was just finished.
That's what happened.
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Zhang Han was able to make up the picture at that time.
When Shirakawa catches the ball and falls, his position is basically the same as that of the pitcher.
At this time he passed the ball to first base, just past the pitcher's mound.
Narumiya probably saw his actions, and then made a temporary decision, stopped the ball with a glove, and then passed home plate.
Not only Nari Miya, but every player on the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School is not idle.
Their ability to adapt to changes is definitely not below the Qingdao High School baseball team.
"I miscalculated!"
When Zhang Han returned to the rest area, he took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Superintendent Kataoka nodded.
"No one has the ability to predict the future, and it is not wrong that you have just actively attacked."
The characteristic of Qingdao High School is that it is actively aiming for the next base. This increases their chances of scoring, but inevitably takes some risks.
The bitter fruit that Zhang Han was solved was the price that the Qingdao High School baseball team had to pay when they decided to actively attack the next base pack as their style.
"Change your mood and go on the field. Our real challenge has just begun. ”
Superintendent Kataoka did not reprimand Zhang Han, but comforted him in a calm tone.
Several third-year players, led by Vice Captain Jun Izagiki, felt awkward as if they had eaten grass.
Today, Zhang Han served as the team's fourth baseman, and they already had ideas in their hearts. Fortunately, Zhang Han's strength was good enough to perfectly complete the task of the fourth baseball and help the Qingdao High School baseball team score one point first.
Even if they feel uncomfortable, there is no way to say anything.
The strength of the people is there, what else can you say?
After all, the consistent purpose of the Qingdao High School baseball team is to be on who is on the job, not on seniority.
But now, Zhang Han has made a mistake in judgment, why can't he say two words?
If they were replaced, would Superintendent Kataoka be just as pleasant?
Thinking of the mistakes he usually made and the attitude of the superintendent towards his people, Izaki Jun felt that they were raised by his stepmother.
The difference is too great!
Jun Izagiki, who was holding back the fire in his heart, and the other third-year players, after changing their equipment, went onto the court with a roar.
Not to mention that Superintendent Kataoka has already made a conclusion about Zhang Han's actions. Even if there is no Kataoka overseer, in their conscience, they themselves don't think that there is anything wrong with Zhang Han's actions.
In this case, they naturally had no way to vent their anger on Zhang Han, so they could only vent their anger on the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.
It seems that Xiaogu has also been infected in some way, and his fighting spirit is terrifying.
This made Miyuki smile bitterly.
Under the deliberate transfer of Superintendent Kataoka, the competition between them, the second-year players and the third-grade seniors, is about to be put on the table.
Whether they want to or not, there is no way to back down.
You say that they are pushed to the forefront, and they are used as targets to stimulate third-grade seniors, and that's it.
You're a first-year player, what's going on?
Although he complained so much in his heart, Yuyuichi's own fighting spirit was obviously mobilized.
He was very motivated, got to the catcher's position, and was ready to catch the ball.
On the other side of the field, the rest area of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School.
Before going on to strike, Narumiya deliberately walked in front of Harada.
"The three wastes in front have been striked, and Senior Harada, as the captain of our team, won't he be the same as them?"
He spoke in a loud voice, even if he knew he was joking, Carl Ross Baihe's face was the same as a monkey's ass.
To be as red as it is and how red it is.
If it weren't allowed by law, and the occasion was not right now, they would probably have to PK with Cheng Gong Ming.
Harada is also under a lot of pressure.
The pitcher in the first year of the Qingdao High School baseball team was much stronger than they thought.
No matter how hard the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team are, they have no way to deny it.
It's not so easy to get this first-year pitch out.
Even so, Harada did not relent.
"I'm not going to give you a chance to laugh at me like that."
Harada's head is on the strike zone with a black line.
Although he said bold words, Harada was still startled when Akira Shibuyani threw the baseball in his hand.
"Boom!"
The pitch itself came to him with a loud roar, in the blink of an eye.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the baseball, Harada clenched the bat in his hand with both hands, ready to swing the bat.
He noticed that the baseball was floating as it approached.
It's exactly the same as what the previous Guoyou Superintendent said.
What a troublesome guy!
In the face of such a pressured pitch, the hitter can't help but want to wave the bat in his hand to resist.
No wonder Yoshida and Shirakawa, in the face of such an obvious bad ball, couldn't help but shoot.
Harada also had a certain amount of psychological preparation, coupled with excellent psychological quality, so he could barely restrain his desire to swing the stick.
But even he couldn't help but want to make a move for a moment just now.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!!"
When Tsuki scored three strikeouts in a row, the supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team were already excited.
Many people who eat melons, although they feel that this young man's performance is not as handsome as Zhang Han's smile just now.
But it's not bad.
His terrifying ball speed surpassed the perfect performance of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School.
All of them made the supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team and the melon-eating crowd on the scene extremely excited.
There were even hundreds of people who shouted his name when Gu Xiao pitched.
In their words, compared to the current ace of the Seido High School baseball team, Koichiro Tanba.
Akira is the man who is more qualified to become the ace of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
In the midst of this enthusiastic cheering, Xiaogu threw his second ball.
Watching the baseball fly, Harada, who had just seen Akira Shibuyani pitching, didn't continue to wait.
He saw the right moment, aimed at the flying baseball, and swung the bat in his hand fiercely.
Above the straight ball, two balls.
"Ping!"
The bat hit the baseball solidly, and the baseball that was knocked out drew a huge arc in the sky.
Fall into the outfield.
The speed at which the baseball was played was too fast, and even though Zhang Han and Izaoshiki Jun desperately rushed to the landing point of the baseball, they were still a step slower.
The baseball penetrated the two men's blocks and bounced off the ground.
"Safety!"
Masako Harada ran straight to second base.
No one is out, there are people on second base.
In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team.
Coach Ochiai touched the mustache on his chin and shook his head.
"Is this the end of it?"
Think about it, the perfect performance of Gu Xiao in the first game. It seems a bit of a pity to replace him like this.
But judging from Harada's blow just now, you want to say that the other party is a blind cat who touched a dead mouse and happened to hit the ball out.
It doesn't seem right!
After all, that kind of straight ball, isn't it possible to hit it by chance?
The expression on Superintendent Kataoka's face was calm, as if all this was expected by him.
He didn't get angry because of the loss of this hit.
On the contrary, his reaction was flat.
Instead, it was Miyuki in the position of the catcher, frowning his brows.
Because of the distance, Coach Ochiai and Superintendent Kataoka are just guesses.
Miyuki can see it clearly.
Just now, Senior Harada has seen the play, and it is obvious that the players of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team have gained insight into the secret of Akira Shibuyani.
"It's so fast! But don't underestimate our juniors, don't you know what's going on, you will definitely be able to hit this kind of ball? ”
