"It's over?"

The player holding the speedometer is not a first-year newcomer who has just joined the Seido High School baseball team.

He is a second-year player.

When he first joined the team last year, he had witnessed Senior Dong killing all sides on the court.

Although he also believes that Zhang Han should win this matchup.

After all, with a speed of light with a speed of nearly 160 kilometers, Senior Dong doesn't look at much even in the professional arena, right?

But after all, it was the Eastern Qing Kingdom.

Why did the duel where the volcano hit the earth end so quickly?

"You didn't see it, the cold mulberry just now was super fierce!"

Hansang?

Watanabe's heart rippled slightly.

The person who spoke, like him, was a second-year player on the Seido High School baseball team.

The opponent's strength is much better than him, and he is now a player in the second army.

If he is lucky, after the current batch of third-year seniors graduate, he should have a chance to enter the first army.

Among the players in their same grade, this guy is not the best group, but he is also a good mix.

But even him, when addressing Zhang Han, he still subconsciously used honorifics.

"Really, it's different."

Watanabe touched the center of his palm, the fine cocoon.

There are still two chances, and I don't know if there is hope for them before next summer?

"Don't worry, Senior Dong doesn't look like someone who will give up."

Didn't even touch the ball.

With a personality like Senior Dong, how could he accept such a result?

He's going to make a fuss.

"Wow, this time doesn't count, do it again."

Dongqingguo shouted and announced.

The Qingdao friends who were relatively unfamiliar to Dongqingguo before, finally put their hearts back into their stomachs this time.

That's right.

The one they saw before wasn't the Dong senior they knew.

"Otherwise, forget it, right?"

Minister Ota is quite satisfied with the outcome of this duel.

If the two continue to face each other, there may be some accidents.

"Then, do it again."

Unlike Ota Akito, who wants to favor Zhang Han, Kataoka also attaches great importance to the Eastern Qing Kingdom.

The result of such a duel, of course, is no problem for Zhang Han.

Even if there is any accident after that, with this strikeout, it will not affect Zhang Han's pitching state too much.

Kataoka has much more confidence in Zhang Han than the two newcomers, and even in the previous ace Tanba.

Zhang Han was originally a pitcher.

When I pitched with my right hand, I was hit out many times, and even hit a home run.

If the psychological quality is not good, in the face of such a predicament, Zhang Han does not know how many times he has collapsed.

But he never seemed to be in such a situation.

Once or twice can be a coincidence, and for a while it can be emotional......

For several years in a row, Zhang Han was able to quickly stabilize the situation after encountering a crisis.

That can only illustrate one thing.

He has a strong positive heart.

If in the process of the duel with the Eastern Qing Kingdom, he is in a state of being completely suppressed, and he has no power to fight back.

That is still a little bit of a possibility, and it will affect his future pitching state.

But now, he's got a strikeout.

With Zhang Han's good attitude, no matter what the result is in the future, he should be able to face it with a positive attitude.

Instead, it is the Eastern Qing Kingdom.

In high school, I had never had such regrets.

After becoming a professional footballer, he was also taught by those senior pitchers.

But as long as everyone is in a circle, there is always a chance to meet. I've been taught a lesson, and I'll just find a way to get it back in the future.

But Zhang Han is different.

Although he also has a high probability of becoming a professional player in the future.

But with Zhang Han's talent, coupled with his unlimited potential commercial value. He may not make his debut in the island country in the future, and may even participate directly in the draft of the major leagues.

In other words, in the future, Zhang Han and Dongqingguo are likely not to mix in the same circle.

Then this defeat is very likely to form a shadow.

If you interrupt it at this point, it is very likely to cause harm to the Eastern Qing Kingdom.

Kataoka decided to let them continue the showdown.

Zhang Han can shoot more than 20 balls in total, and his current body has no way to withstand this kind of high-speed straight ball too much. There are at most two duels left between you, is that okay? ”

"No problem!"

Originally, according to the character of Dongqingguo, he should have been clamoring.

"You don't need twice, you need once."

But Dongqingguo did not say so.

It seems that the previous fight still left a very serious psychological shadow in his heart.

His vigilance against Zhang Han has reached the highest level.

In this case, it is not possible to prevent him from dying.

"Then go ahead, I'll be the referee."

Originally, there was no referee in the duel between them. Now it's becoming more and more formal.

The crowd of onlookers eating melons has become more and more.

"It's going to start again, this time you have to get the speedometer, a lot of people want to know."

The player next to Watanabe said expectantly.

Watanabe nodded his head.

"Don't worry."

No one is more curious than him, what kind of speed can Zhang Han's ball speed reach?

This can be seen from the fact that he was the first to run to get a speed gun.

Although his own talent could not support his baseball dream, he entered the second team, or even the first team, earlier.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have dreams.

Watanabe sometimes wonders if he has the same talent as Zhang Han, can he also play like this?

Can you also wear the uniform of the main team of the Qingdao High School baseball team and compete with strong schools across the country?

Unconsciously, he has regarded Zhang Han as his ideal self.

He was looking forward to every bit of Zhang Han's progress, as if he had accomplished the same thing himself.

Fans who appreciate Zhang Han are also fans of Zhang Han.

In fact, the ratio of male and female students is about the same, and it can basically reach the level of one to one.

It's just that most of the boys are like Watanabe, who silently hide this appreciation and liking in their hearts and don't express it.

They all regard Zhang Han as their ideal self.

Occasionally, when playing or practicing, they will even subconsciously imitate Zhang Han's movements.

Watanabe held the speed gun in his hand tightly, waiting to see Zhang Han shoot the first shot.

"Maybe we can break the previous ball speed record of Hansang."

The little friend next to him guessed excitedly.

But Watanabe, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"That's not necessarily ......"

If it was him, he would definitely use that trick in the practice game.

On the pitcher's mound, Zhang Han raised his leg high.

No matter what time he throws, he tries his best to do it, so that his movements are exactly the same.

Exactly the same natural, exactly the same smooth, exactly the same stride, exactly the same ball......

The most important difference is actually the moment the baseball is shot.

All the changes in Zhang Han's pitching are at the last moment.

This time, he placed two fingers lightly on the baseball.

After a series of wonderful pitching actions, he did not press his own strength, but gently sent the ball out with his fingers.

"Whew!"

The white ball, like a dazzling white light, appeared in an instant.

The position is exactly the same as the previous three balls, all in the center.

The green tendons on Dong Qingguo's forehead have already jumped out.

Although he knew, Zhang Han also had different variations in throwing such a ball.

But in the face of himself, Zhang Han, that stinky boy, was relieved and bold to attack with straight balls one after another.

Dongqingguo wants to be patient.

But the boiling blood made him unbearable no matter what.

He had to make a move, if he didn't make a move at this time, Dong Qingguo felt that the blood rushing in his body would have to be spit out.

Now is the time!

Even if it is Zhang Han's light speed ball, it is exactly the same position, after watching four balls in a row, Dong Qingguo has long been used to it.

He couldn't wait until the baseball was fully in his hand and then swing the bat in his hand.

He knew it wouldn't be in time.

If he really wanted to hit Zhang Han's straight ball, he could only do it earlier.

Before the baseball has time to reach his hands, he must swing the bat in his hand in advance.

In advance!

Now is the time!

Dong Qingguo played by his own intuition.

He didn't calculate, he just felt that it was almost there, and decisively swung the bat in his hand.

"Boom!"

A huge roar swept in front of Miyuki's eyes.

So much so that Miyuki felt that his breathing had become difficult.

What a terrifying speed, in this short moment, the air in the strike zone seemed to be evacuated.

However, the bat swept by, but no noise was heard.

The bat didn't touch anything.

Disappeared again?

Dong Qingguo subconsciously thought so.

But soon, with the peripheral vision of his eyes, he saw the traces of the white ball.

How can it be?

His swing is over, how can baseball not be over?

How could the speed of this ball be so slow?

"Smack!"

"Good Ball !!"

The question in the heart of Dong Qingguo is destined to be unexplained.

But the sweat on his forehead unconsciously seeped out.

Just before, Dong Qingguo thought that he had figured out all of Zhang Han's pitching rules.

He generally knew why he had never been able to touch Zhang Han's pitch.

I don't know how Zhang Han did it, when he throws a straight ball, he can make the baseball float and sink to a certain extent.

This is also the reason why Dong Qingguo, who aims at a straight ball, has never been able to touch the ball.

During the second round of strikes, Dong Qingguo, who realized this, was also mentally prepared and planned.

It's obviously not a good idea to hit Zhang Han's pitch hard.

He had to have a plan in advance......

Dong Qingguo also knows that the success rate of such a plan is linked to luck.

That said, he doesn't necessarily really be able to hit the ball.

But this is already the best thing he can think of at the moment.

However, just when Dong Qingguo made up his mind to take the risk of hitting the ball too.

A huge accident knocked him out again.

He never thought that Zhang Han's pitching, in addition to the parallel changes up and down, also had the spatial changes in depth.

Zhang Han can, free to control the ball speed!

Originally, in the eyes of Dongqingguo, Zhang Han, who was about the same height as him and was two laps thinner than him.

All of a sudden, the body became taller.

So much so that he, a former senior, had to look up.

"What's the ball speed?"

Although the friends also didn't expect Zhang Han to use such a ball.

However, they are still curious, what is the speed of the ball that looks fast but is actually too slow?

"141 km!"

Watanabe's face showed a smile.

Exactly what he thought.

He'd done something like this before.

Yu Xing and Zhang Han's matching, he didn't dare to say that he could guess 100%, but he could also guess eight or nine.

If your physical fitness is a little better......

Every time I think about this, Watanabe can't help but have such a thought in his heart.

"I don't know what will happen next, I'm already ......"

Watanabe heard the voice of his little friend's expectation, but shook his head.

"Then what else will be in the future, the victory or defeat will be revealed at this moment."

Watanabe's voice was so small that the little friend standing beside him didn't hear what he was saying at all.

"What did you just say?"

Watanabe's face once again showed a nonchalant expression.

"Nothing, I said it was really exciting."

"Needless to say?"

Every step is designed.

Even the East seniors, who have entered the professional team, were stunned.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

"Smack..."

"Good Ball !!"

"Strikeout!!

Around the field of the Seido High School baseball team.

Those melon-eating people who watched the duel between Dongqingguo and Zhang Han were scary with bright eyes.

It wasn't that they hadn't thought that Zhang Han would win the victory.

Originally.

When Senior Dongqing was in the team, he had no way to completely suppress Zhang Han.

When the friends mention the two of them, they will only say that they are equal, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

In the past year, Senior Dong has not stopped exercising and improving.

But he has always been at the level of ordinary monsters, even if the speed of progress is only the level of ordinary monsters.

Zhang Han, it's different.

When he first joined the team, he was a little better than his friends around him.

At that time, he was with Yuxing, and the two of them also had their own strengths.

But by the time of last year's summer competition, Zhang Han had already left behind his friends who had made progress with him.

He broke two Koshien rookie records and became a super rookie in the annals of history.

Yu Xing's performance can only be regarded as remarkable, and the two were no longer at the same level at that time.

The following autumn tournament, this year's spring contest, and especially the Kanto tournament that has just ended.

In these competitions, Zhang Han has proved himself again and again with his strength, and he is no longer an ordinary player.

He's a monster through and through, and at the level of a super monster.

In this case, it is really not easy for the senior of Dongqing Kingdom to win Zhang Han.

These things, my friends have thought of them before.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhang Han was even more terrifying than they imagined.

In the duel with Dong Qingguo, this guy didn't even let Senior Dong touch the ball.

Six consecutive throws, with the terrifying swing speed and striking strength of Dong Qingguo, he was not even able to touch the ball once.

This is too mysterious, isn't it?

"One hundred and fifty-four?"

"One hundred and fifty-one?"

in the corner.

Seeing the ball speed display that Watanabe took out, the friends all had stunned expressions.

Of course, the ball speed is very fast, but the gap is a bit big from Zhang Han's peak ball speed before.

They couldn't figure out how a pitch that seemed so powerful could make Dong Qingguo's swing miss six times in a row.

How can it be so slow?

This is too far from what they think.

Watanabe wasn't surprised at all.

It can even be said that everything that happened was almost exactly what he thought.

"By changing the number of spins of the baseball, it can float up or down. Such a magic-like pitch will of course confuse the hitter, but correspondingly, if you don't fully burst out your own power, how can you throw the highest ball speed? ”

However, when you think about it, it seems even more scary......

Without throwing the ball with all his might, he still soared to 154 kilometers.

If Zhang Han used all his strength to pitch the ball, what kind of terrifying level would his ball speed reach?

Watanabe, simply can't imagine.

"Come again!"

Dong Qingguo's eyes were red.

Just like an angry bull, a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on Zhang Han.

In the referee's position, Kataoka raised his head thoughtfully and glanced at Zhang Han.

Zhang Han, who received the hint, subconsciously frowned, and he instinctively wanted to resist.

But when he saw Dong Qingguo, whose eyes were red in the strike zone.

Thinking of the two of them, the bits and pieces of the team before.

Among the players in the group of Dong Qingguo, the ones who have the most contact with Zhang Han are the former captain Tanaka and the fourth baseman Dong Qingguo.

These two seniors take great care of him.

In the beginning, he was a newcomer, able to integrate into the team so quickly, and sat firmly in the position of the main shortstop.

They are indebted.

Zhang Han nodded slightly.

Then he decisively threw the baseball in his hand.

This goal was faster than any previous one.

The baseball flew with a lot of sound of breaking through the air.

This?

Watanabe subconsciously pressed the button in his hand.

He had a hunch that the goal would be fast.

But how can you throw such a ball?

In the center, the most standard straight ball.

Here it comes!

Dong Qingguo's body, in the third year of high school and the most recent year, has already been tempered to the extent of perfection.

Sometimes it doesn't even have to go through his brain, his body reacts naturally.

Even if in vain.

Dong Qingguo also used all his strength, and swung the bat in his hand against the straight ball that flew in.

This time, he bumped into it.

"Ping!"

The white baseball that was hit flew high and eventually fell to the rear of the court.

Outfield, long hit!

After three rounds of confrontation, Dong Qingguo finally knocked Zhang Han's straight ball out in the last round.
