When Zhang Han said, I would never let the ball go through my bat.

This showdown cannot be avoided.

Even Kataoka was forced by Zhang Han to have no choice, so he could only agree.

"If you go through, you lose!"

Kataoka said sternly to Zhang Han.

"Yes!"

Zhang Han did not avoid this question, but responded with a very resolute attitude.

As long as the ball passes through his bat, whether the catcher catches it or not? It's all his loss.

Kataoka seemed to be angry on the surface, but in fact, in his heart, he didn't resent Zhang Han doing this.

Long ago, he felt that Zhang Han lacked the domineering spirit of strong throwing and strong sticks.

Although it has a very terrifying striking power, it has a very strong ball speed. But Zhang Han's whole performance is that low-key type, and he doesn't look domineering at all.

Let's take an analogy.

When it comes to the results and statistics of the strike, Zhang Han is now at the top of the entire Tokyo area.

But when he stood in the strike zone, he didn't have the momentum of the same level of fighters, Thunder City, Omae, and Yuuki.

It's the same with pitching.

Zhang Han's ball speed, looking at the whole country, is absolutely second to none among all high school students now.

But the domineering and control he showed on the pitcher's mound was far inferior to Narumi Narumi in Inagi. It's not even as good as the little guy named Gu Xiao in front of him.

Maybe it's the relationship between the growth environment, or Zhang Han's natural character.

The impression he gives people is that kind of warm as jade.

Of course, jade is beautiful, and in most places, it is worth a fortune. But when it comes to sports competition, it is really difficult to make a big difference with the character of not fighting or grabbing.

The current Zhang Han, although he is giving Kataoka a problem, finally has the edges and corners of a strong stick and a strong throw.

Kataoka was not an overseer who liked to get used to his disciples, but this time, he decided to get used to Zhang Han.

We must not let the edges and corners that Zhang Han has grown with great difficulty be smoothed out again.

"Lower-grain-san?"

Kataoka symbolically consulted Akatsuki Ichikutani's opinion.

In fact, whether he agrees or disagrees, this showdown is imperative.

Akira is also sluggish enough, and he doesn't even feel this sense of oppression at all.

When he heard that Zhang Han was going to hit his ball, his eyes seemed to be able to spew out flames of fighting spirit.

He was very interested, one might even say impatient.

Both players agreed, and Kataoka naturally had no opinion. So this showdown began.

"Overseer, there's no catcher right now, or you ...... to the side"

Minister Ota kindly explained.

If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case Ichihan misses his hand, wouldn't Superintendent Kataoka wait for the ball to hit him.

Just now, I almost didn't scare Ota to death. Such a thriller, Ota doesn't want to do it again anyway.

But Kataoka's attitude is also very paranoid.

"No, I'm just standing here."

He wanted to see with his own eyes again if the boy's pitching was the same as he thought.

Chris and Miyuki volunteered to get on the court to catch the ball almost at the same time.

But Kataoka didn't agree.

"Since he said he didn't need a catcher, he was responsible for his words. Wouldn't the duel be unfair if there were catchers? ”

Kataoka is also open-minded enough to go out.

He has to test the courage of both fighters at the same time.

In the absence of a catcher and a supervision, does the boy named Xiaogu dare to throw his strongest ball?

This is also testing Zhang Han, and if he misses, the supervisor is likely to be injured......

In this case, will he still be able to play to his previous strength?

Of course, the test is a test, and Kataoka still wears all the protective equipment that should be worn.

After all, there is only one life, and he is not allowed to go on endlessly.

But even if he has already put on protective equipment, the danger factor is very high when he faces the pitch directly.

Takashima was very opposed, and even bluntly said that the overseer was too messy.

"Don't you believe me, Li?"

Until Zhang Han spoke.

Rei Takashima had to stop.

She glanced at Zhang Han, and stopped talking a little.

Zhang Han looked back dignifiedly, without the slightest intention of retreating.

The showdown with Gu Xiao is imperative.

Whether it is as a beater, or on behalf of the old students, even if it is for Zhang Han himself.

This time, he had to fight!

You must know that his right-handed pitch is likely to be completely abolished from now on. Even if it is death, Zhang Han must die to understand.

Under Zhang Han's direct gaze, Takashima Li didn't say anything in the end, just sighed in annoyance.

And so the showdown began!

With such a terrifying scene of the showdown, the old alumni who watched the game were stupid.

They have repeatedly promised that they will not shoot videos, take photos, or say anything about today's showdown.

If it's not guaranteed, they'll be blasted straight out of the game.

Fortunately, they are all alumni and are still trustworthy.

All the players stopped training and gathered around the scene of the duel.

It was a very bizarre matchup, with all positions in place, even the referee, the line referee, and even the baserun instructor.

Only the catcher's position was empty.

Kataoka was about three or four meters away from the location of the blow.

He stood in the pitching line, staring intently at the matchup.

Before the duel began, the onlookers felt that their blood was boiling.

This kind of tension and excitement is similar to watching a boxing match, punching to the flesh, and even possibly paying the price of injury.

"It's too messy!"

"It's not that dangerous, after all, the protective equipment is complete. In baseball games, there are many cases where catchers miss catches. This time, at most, the beater can't hit it, even if the catcher misses it. ”

There are also old alumni who try to help the round.

But when you see it on the pitch in person, it's a different feeling.

If the pitcher's ball speed is slow, Kataoka can also dodge when the baseball is thrown.

But the pitch of the drop valley just now was close to 150 kilometers!

When the ball is so fast, even if you want to dodge, your body may not have time to react.

If this is smashed on the body, it probably hurts......

They also really admired Kataoka's courage, and they dared to do this now when they had just received a goal?

It's a body and a will of steel.

"Let's go!"

Kataoka, as the referee, issued an order.

As he spoke, he squatted his body slightly, narrowing his body a little smaller, completely within the enveloping range of Zhang Han's bat.

Rather than dodging around, Kataoka clearly believes in Zhang Han's batting prowess.

At the same time, Akira Tsukiya, who received the order, had eyes like demons, emitting a miserable white light.

This guy didn't even spare his hand at all, and he was facing Kataoka and threw a ball with all his might.

"Boom!"
