In Superintendent Kataoka's office.

Several giants of the team gathered at the window. From the window of Kataoka's office, they can overlook the entire stadium.

The duel between Zhang Han and Sawamura caused a lot of repercussions within the team.

Before they duel, the melon-eating crowd had already sat in a row, waiting to see the excitement.

When Chris entered the field, he could see the schadenfreude in the eyes of these guys.

They seem to be eager to see the scene of Sawamura being educated.

Recently, except for occasionally guiding Sawamura, Kribbs has spent most of his energy competing for positions with Miyuki.

He really didn't know, why the players were like this?

"Sawamura, is his popularity so bad?"

In fact, Chris thought about it, Sawamura's popularity is indeed average, but it is not as bad as he thought. It's just that this guy, whether it's when he usually practices or when he gets along with his teammates, is too high-profile.

In addition, he is extremely talented, and he has gradually secured the position of the main pitcher of the second army.

Friends want to see, such a Sawamura, if he is educated, what kind of expression will appear on his face?

They are looking forward to, one might even say, impatient.

"Thank you all for cheering, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

When Sawamura came, he looked at his companions who were cheering him on, opened his hands excitedly, and kept waving in thanks.

Although these seniors usually speak harshly, they still attach great importance to him at critical times.

Even if he faced off with Senior Zhang Han, these people were firmly standing behind him.

Chris's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard his partner's words.

Sawamura's eyes are fine, right?

His eyes saw that these guys were here to support him?

The schadenfreude of these guys has been written on their faces with impunity, okay?

However, contrary to Chris's expectations, the people around him did not refute Sawamura's words. On the contrary, their eyes are bright and scary.

"It's up to you, the next ace of Qingdao."

"Let's solve the cold mulberry in one go, don't wait until the next session, I will support you now!"

The teammates of the Second Army were too righteous.

Maeyuan subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and he looked at his teammates around him incredulously.

He wondered if there was something wrong with his head or eyes.

Otherwise, how could these guys, who were gloating just now, suddenly turn the spearhead and become supporters of Sawamura.

As players from the Second Army, it stands to reason that they are on Sawamura's side, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with them.

But the opponent is Zhang Han, is it really good for them to do this?

And I don't know why, the front garden always feels that these guys around me seem to be particularly abnormal.

Obviously, they all said words of support for Sawamura, but how did they feel so insincere?

Looking at the lively Kurachi, I have the most thorough understanding of the thoughts of these second-army players.

"What a bunch of undisciplined guys!"

These guys are talking the opposite, and I don't know if Sawamura will be able to withstand such a huge drop after the results of the game come out?

"But then again, this guy's character is quite worrying! It's only been a long time since he entered the Second Army, and he has already provoked the anger of the heavens. ”

If it weren't for the players of the Second Army, who had some thoughts about Sawamura, they would never have done such a thing.

It's a shame!

For the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, even if it is a player of the second army, it is too low.

Knowing this, these players from the second army still did it.

This shows that they do have an opinion about Sawamura.

Just when the surrounding friends were frantically shouting to cheer for Sawamura, a figure changed into the equipment for the strike and dragged the bat to the strike area.

Those guys who were originally noisy, the moment they saw that figure appear, it was as if they were gagged by something.

All dumb.

In the whole stadium, there is no longer a single murmur.

Zhang Han.

After he stood on the strike zone, Sawamura, who had been like the center of the world before, suddenly dimmed the light around him.

Since Zhang Han came on the field, people's attention has naturally changed.

Zhang Han ignored these guys, not even Sawamura.

He just bowed lightly to Chris, who was squatting on the ground.

"Senior, please advise!"

"Our junior brother, the pitching is still very unstable now, do you want to let us go first?"

Hearing Chris's words, the stunned look on Zhang Han's face was clearly visible.

If it was Yu Xing who was waiting to catch the ball now, Zhang Han would not be surprised at all when he said such a thing.

Miyuki's character is like this, so it's not surprising that he would do such a thing.

But Chris is different.

Although Zhang Han did not have a lot of contact with this senior. But he thinks he still knows something about Chris.

Compared to Miyuki, Chris is much more serious.

Zhang Han had never thought that Senior Chris would say something like that before?

However, this also reminded Zhang Han that the relationship between them is no longer a simple senior and a junior.

It's the opponent!

He needs to face not only Sawamura, but also Chris, and those who are now standing on the pitch.

It's just that the second-army players who are in charge of the garrison don't seem to have a very high fighting spirit now.

"I really don't understand, what is the point of us standing here? When a live target? ”

One of the third-grade seniors kicked the ground under his feet unhappily.

"Anyway, we and Sawamura are both players in the second army. Sawamura represents not only first-year newcomers, but also the level of our second army. ”

It was okay when I didn't say this, but after I said it, the players in charge of guarding on the field basically felt very awkward.

Zhang Han and Sawamura face off, what kind of convulsions do their brains have to be, so they choose to stand behind Sawamura?

When Chris noticed this, he hesitated to call a timeout.

This duel is really strange enough, Zhang Han used the strength of one person to fight against their entire team.

Zhang Han, who was single-handed, was completely fearless and looked as if he had won the battle.

On the contrary, it was the nine people in their team, except for Sawamura, everyone was not too relieved.

As it stands, they are not confident that they will emerge victorious in the next duel.

Something had to be done!

Just as Chris was thinking this, Sawamura, who had already stood on the pitcher's mound, suddenly took a deep breath and propped up his stomach.

Is this little guy feeling nervous now?

Seeing this scene, Chris's worries kept rising.

If Sawamura, who is not even afraid of the sky and the earth, begins to be timid, then it is estimated that it will be difficult for the rest of the Second Army to show their strength.

"I will continue to let Senior Zhang Han hit the ball out, and the guards behind me, please leave it to everyone!"

At the beginning, the players of the second army looked at Sawamura, which was actually not very pleasing to the eye. Even if they cooperate with the garrison, they have no intention of showing 100% of their strength and going all out.

There are several players who are thinking in their hearts that they can cope with it.

This is Sawamura's exercise, they just cooperate, just complete their duties, don't think too much.

But when Sawamura stood on the pitcher's mound and shouted those words.

The whole atmosphere on the pitch has completely changed.

No matter how unhappy they were with Sawamura before, when Sawamura trusted them 100% and handed over his own body to them.

These players from the Second Army were still moved.

At the same time, their feelings for Sawamura now have also changed very much.

It used to be Sawamura practice, and they assisted.

The current situation has taken place in a 180-degree reversal.

Now it is not only Sawamura's own practice, nor is it a personal contest between Sawamura and Zhang Han.

Now the situation on the field has become, and it is up to them to challenge the biggest monster in the Seido High School baseball team and even in the country.

"Let him call!"

Maezono was the first to give solidarity.

Immediately afterwards, other friends also shouted their voices one after another.

In Superintendent Kataoka's office.

Ochiai looked at the scene in front of him in surprise: "I didn't expect Sawamura players to have such a strong appeal when they were on the court?" ”

He was surprised.

Although Ochiai didn't say anything before, that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about the challenges Sawamura has to face.

Sawamura's opponent is also not only Zhang Han, but also himself, as well as these friends who cooperate with him.

How can he overcome his fear of Zhang Han? How do you coordinate the state of your teammates?

These are all tests for Sawamura.

As far as the current results are concerned, Sawamura's performance has exceeded the imagination of these people.

Although I don't know yet, what is the final result of the duel between him and Zhang Han?

But there is one thing they are able to see.

That's Sawamura's progress.

Although that little guy, not long after joining the team, he has made a lot of trouble, which is particularly eye-catching.

But the supervisors of the Qingdao High School baseball team and the coaches of the coaching staff have a very sober judgment of this guy's strength.

As far as Sawamura at that time is concerned, he just showed strong enough talent, and there is still a long way to go before he can show his strength.

But the current Sawamura is no longer what it used to be.

In him, it is not only talent that is displayed, but also some other, eye-catching things.

"I didn't choose him to join the team because of his quirks. His companions are just a bunch of baseball novices. Sawamura can take such a group of teammates and entangle with the opponent to the end. Especially the last shot he threw showed me what a true ace should look like. ”

Takashima said with a smile.

Several other giants may be surprised, but they did not expect Sawamura to have such strong leadership.

But for Takashima Rei, she already knew about this matter, so she was a little surprised.

"It's time to start!"

Ota is not as meticulous as the other giants, and he pays more attention to the progress of the game.

Sawamura, encouraged by the crowd and teammates, looked confident.

Ota is very suspicious that this guy's natural personality may be like this.

Even without the encouragement of his teammates and those who eat melons, his fighting spirit at this time is probably not a lot at all.

Chris in the catcher position.

When I saw Sawamura start to prepare to pitch, I took a deep look at him.

Just before the game, Chris had discussed with Sawamura alone, what kind of guy is his opponent?

Looking at today's high school baseball world, purely in terms of hitting comprehensively, there is no more terrifying monster than Zhang Han.

If you want to deal with such a guy, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on Sawamura's original talent.

There has to be enough wonderful matching for them to have hope of solving this monster in front of them.

"So possession of the ball is the key!"

Chris didn't hesitate, but if they wanted to solve Zhang Han, they had to start from these aspects.

As soon as Chris started, he put his gloves in the inner corner.

This scene shocked many people who watched the game.

Miyuki's eyes lit up a lot all of a sudden.

"That little guy, when did you learn to take inside corners?"

Originally, Sawamura fought with Zhang Han, but there was no hope at all.

But if he gets his hands on the inside corner, he might be able to find a chance to get there.

It's not just Miyuki who thinks this way.

Thinking of Sawamura's quirky ball characteristics, if he can really use corner kicks proficiently, then maybe ......

"Whoosh!"

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura threw the baseball in his hand with all his might.

In order to be able to take the lead in the first place, he really even used the strength to breastfeed.

After seeing his pitching, Chris was initially a little worried.

After all, Sawamura has just learned to use inside corners so far, and he has not had much chance to practice it......

Facing Zhang Han this time, in order to be able to be surprised, Chris still directly typed the code of the inner corner.

The boy named Sawamura did not live up to Chris at all, and the angle he threw was very tricky.

In the course of Chris's coaching of Sawamura, an inside corner of this level can definitely be ranked in the top three.

Faced off against Zhang Han, the first goal was so tricky.

As long as you can take a good number of balls, then the next ......

Just when Chris's brain began to rehearse, what action should they take?

In front of him, suddenly there was an extra bat.

"Buzz!"

The low swing of the stick seemed to completely empty the air in the entire strike zone.

Chris's brain was like a dead machine, and he looked at Zhang Han incredulously.

How could he possibly touch such a ball?

"Ping..."

In everyone's incredible gaze, Zhang Han directly hit Sawamura's ball with a stick.

The white baseball drew a huge arc in the sky and then fell outside the wall.

"Home run!"

Zhang Han blasted the baseball off the field casually.

Because it was practice, he didn't have to run around the court, but Zhang Han also proved himself with practical actions.

"I'm so sorry boy, this world is so cruel!"
