Chapter 49: The Fourth Stick, Zhang Han (Third Update)
The sudden appearance of the changing ball is tantamount to a wake-up call to the players of the Seido High School baseball team.
Although that ball looks very similar to a knuckle ball. But those who are familiar with Cheng Gong Ming can actually clearly see that it is not Cheng Gong Ming's finger fork ball.
Narimiya's knuckle is faster, and the drop is not so large.
And the distance between the swing of the baton and the baseball is almost ten centimeters.
This difference is equivalent to the magnitude of the change in the flight of the baseball.
"Curveball?"
In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the friends looked at each other one by one.
Narumiya's sudden display of the change ball was something they hadn't expected before.
If Narumiya also mastered the ordinary straight ball, the finger fork ball and the curved ball.
That means that as long as his ball is thrown at a low angle, the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team may be difficult to touch.
In the last game, Uehara took out the decisive ball, which was a low-angle three-in-a-row.
At that time, except for Tetsuya Yuki and Zhang Han in the Qingdao High School baseball team, the other players were basically helpless in the face of this kind of ball. The hits they were able to take, the few that were pitiful.
You must know that the ball speed of Uehara is about 130 kilometers.
This ball speed can be said to be within the range of all the players on the Seido High School baseball team, and anyone can touch it.
But even so, they were being played around by that kind of ball at that time, and there was no way at all.
Now their opponent has been replaced by Cheng Gong Ming, if Cheng Gong Ming also mastered the low-angle three.
The players of the Seido High School baseball team can't even imagine what the situation will become.
You must know that the maximum ball speed of Nari Gongming is close to 150 kilometers, and the average ball speed is also about 145 kilometers.
A standard high-speed ball pitcher, the ball speed alone can make more than ninety percent of the country's hitters helpless.
If you say such a Cheng Gong Ming, he also mastered the low-angle triple link.
I'm afraid that Lian Cheng and Zhang Han will have a hard time hitting his ball, right?
Although the players of the Seido High School baseball team have full confidence in the strength of their captain, they still do not feel optimistic about the current situation.
Superintendent Kataoka was also a little hesitant.
At this time, if they choose to be down-to-earth, there is actually a high probability of scoring a point.
But the current hitter is Yuuki, one of the two faces of the Seido High School baseball team.
When you get to a critical situation in the game and you have to score points, that's all he does.
Now that the game has just begun, if he just uses a short shot, then the impact on the entire striking lineup of the Qingdao High School baseball team may be very big.
Superintendent Kataoka finally gave up on this tempting calculation.
Even if he doesn't want this point, he can't let the momentum of the whole team be affected.
Not to mention a head-to-head matchup, it doesn't have to be them who lose.
Kataoka, who had a plan in his heart, quieted down again.
And the showdown on the field is still in full swing.
Yuki looked at the baseball that had just flown over, and there was not much surprise in his eyes, even if his swing was just 10 centimeters away from the baseball.
But you still don't see any superfluous expression on his face.
Harada took a deep breath and focused all his attention on Yuuki.
The ball that Narumi Cheng just threw was perfect.
Harada originally thought that they could rely on that ball to completely disrupt Yuuki's swinging rhythm and then solve this monster in one fell swoop.
As long as the Yuki is solved, the situation they face will be much easier immediately.
But it is clear that they miscalculated.
Yuuki's position didn't change at all, and even the way he held the stick, he couldn't see any change.
It's as if he didn't hit the ball just now, but deliberately let it go.
Even though he succeeded in forcing his swing to fail, the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team successfully got the first out.
But the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School still have no way to really put their minds at ease.
Their opponent has not changed, and they still have to show an all-out attitude and entangle with this monster-level opponent in front of them.
"There shouldn't have been that kind of extravagant hope."
Harada smiled bitterly and gave up his unrealistic ideas and instead devoted himself to solving Yuuki head-on.
"That's right!"
Nari Miyaya is very happy with the change in his seniors.
Playing against the Qingdao High School baseball team, especially against Yuki and Zhang Han, there is never any shortcut to climb.
It can only be hard-hitting.
Only by letting go of those unrealistic ideas can they play against their opponents wholeheartedly.
And rely on the absolute strength to win the duel.
As for the head-to-head results, Cheng Gongming has an answer in his heart.
"It's because we're stronger!"
The white baseball whistled out, aiming at a low angle again.
"Buzz!"
This time, Yuki didn't let go, and he also waved the bat in his hand.
But this time, he still couldn't touch the ball. Baseball shows no signs of falling, it's just an ordinary straight ball.
Yuuki was aiming for two balls below the straight ball.
Needless to say, he once again missed the swing of the bat.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
The number of balls is two good, and there are zero bad.
Tetsuya Yuuki, was chased.
In the stands, the supporters of Inagi Industry, who were originally suppressed by the cheerleaders of Seido High School, seemed to have come back to life after hardships at this time.
Their eyes were full of vivid looks.
"Inajo! Daocheng !! ”
"That's it, Prince, let's deal with the beater!"
The state of these fans looks close to madness.
Narumiya was unaffected, even if he had chased the opponent with two good balls, his attacks did not stop.
"Whoosh!"
Three balls in a row, all aimed at low angles.
When Uehara did this before, the friends of the Seido High School baseball team had enough headaches.
Now Narumiya is doing this continuously with a ball speed of nearly 140 kilometers.
Compared to the difficulty of Uehara at that time, it was two levels higher.
The Qingdao High School baseball team no longer felt a headache, but a deep despair.
"Ping!"
Tetsuya Yuuki finally caught the ball when he swung his bat for the third time.
But he barely touched it, and the ball flew high and landed directly above the second baseman.
The second baseman of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team raised his glove and effortlessly picked up the baseball in his own glove.
And at the first moment of receiving the ball, he made a passing action.
Let the warehouse on third base not find any chance to steal the base at all.
Two outs, three bases.
Kuramochi, relying on his extraordinary speed, worked hard to create scoring opportunities, and most of them were consumed in this way.
Why most, and not all?
That's of course because of the offense of the Seido High School baseball team, which is not over yet.
"Fourth stick, Zhang Han."
The fourth member of the Qingdao High School baseball team to stand in the strike zone was Zhang Han.
Originally, the order of the starters of the Seido High School baseball team had already been arranged, but this morning, Superintendent Kataoka temporarily changed his mind.
He asked Tetsuya Yuki to switch positions with Zhang Han.
Don't look at the adjustment of just the third and fourth basesticks, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team at that time were also very surprised.
Why make adjustments to the already very mature strike lineup?
Could it be that in the heart of Superintendent Kataoka, the current Zhang Han is more reliable than Tetsuya Yuuki?
This is true for the players of the Seongdo High School baseball team, especially the third-year players.
Emotionally, it's hard to accept.
But in addition to being emotionally unacceptable, I really have to talk about the record. Whether it is the number of home runs won or the batting rate, Zhang Han is undoubtedly higher.
Adjusting him to the team's fourth baseman seems to be a matter of course.
Captain Tetsuya Yuuki, his fists clenched at that time.
The clay man also has three points of fire, not to mention that he is a third-year captain. He's just taciturn, but not good-tempered.
Superintendent Kataoka didn't explain much, and after giving the order, he let the players get on the bus.
"Changing generals on the spot is a taboo for soldiers."
Ochiai touched the mustache on his chin, very confused. He was not polite, and directly raised his doubts.
Superintendent Kataoka nodded, agreeing with the same.
"Today's match means a lot to the players. But because there is so much meaning, they have a feeling of abandoning everything. This is especially evident in the third-year contestants. It's not good, I think they should be given more stimulation. ”
Rakuichi didn't understand Kataoka's words at first, but he understood after a little pondering.
Then he glanced at Kataoka with jealousy, wondering in his heart, could this guy be a demon?
It's too bad.
Do you need this for your own disciples?
