Chapter 20: The Genius Catcher, Kazuya Miyuki (Part I)
At the beginning of the orientation competition, the new students created a very huge surprise for the old students.
Starting with Zhang Han's home run, they scored a full two points, and the score on the field became 2:0, and the freshmen team took the lead.
In the Qingdao High School Baseball Club, this is the only time in the history of the previous orientation games.
Those second- and third-grade seniors have fierce eyes one by one, and they can't wait to devour the freshmen players alive.
Especially Zhang Han.
Not only Xiuze seniors, but in the second and third grades, many powerful seniors have set their sights on Zhang Han.
Although there was only one confrontation between them, this time the impression was too deep.
Those seniors probably won't be able to forget the shock that Zhang Han brought to them.
At the same time, the seniors are secretly gritting their teeth and swearing that they will never admit defeat!
This has nothing to do with seniors or anything, they already regard Zhang Han as a competitor at the same level.
They advanced to the first army, the best whetstone.
Looking at the faces of Superintendent Kataoka and Minister Ota, you can see how big the shock Zhang Han brought to them.
As long as Zhang Han can maintain such a level in the following competitions. Then his promotion to the first army is basically a certainty.
Only by winning the record from Zhang Han can the old students prove it to the Kataoka supervisor and the coaching staff.
They really have the strength to enter the first army!
"The seniors look at you like a wild beast staring at its prey. You kid beware! ”
Although Kuramoto's tone was tinged with schadenfreude, Zhang Han could feel kindness from his words.
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll take notice."
As the saying goes, the gun shoots the first bird.
As long as you are in the freshman team and have an excellent performance, sooner or later you will be targeted by the seniors of the veteran team.
In the next game, there are bound to be more difficulties.
Even in private, it is possible to be troubled by seniors.
Zhang Han knows this very well, he even experienced it a few times when he was a young stick in Songfang.
But even though he knew the harm very well, he still did it without hesitation.
Not to be envied is mediocrity!
If others are not jealous of you at all, it probably only means that your own talents are very limited.
It's not worth being jealous of others at all.
As a player, if you want to excel in the team, you have to play well.
As for the troubles after the beginning, then save it for later.
At this stage, his task is to come out first!
As a pitcher, Kawakami does not have such a good attitude as Zhang Han, and he is very nervous at this time.
Although the old team lost two points first, their momentum did not weaken in the slightest. On the contrary, every senior looks like he is eyeing each other.
That kind of dignified momentum is really terrifying!
Kawakami thinks that he is not a genius like Zhang Han, can he really withstand such heavy pressure?
Can you?
When this question appeared in Kawakami's mind, he was not sure in his heart at all.
"Don't be nervous, when you pitched before, didn't you be able to throw the ball into the corner? And he also has a very tricky change ball. If I'm not mistaken, it's a stretch ball, right? ”
When Kawakami heard this, his heart felt like he had eaten honey.
When most people see their own change ball, they will think that it is a curved ball.
It was the first time he had heard someone call out the name of Shenkaqiu without telling him.
Turning his head, he saw a handsome face.
Miyuki Kazuya!
He was the most eye-catching of all the freshmen before.
The reason why it is said is before, not now. Mainly because at the beginning of today's game, Zhang Han's performance refreshed everyone's cognition.
The start is a home run!
And what was played was the ball of ace senior Xiuze.
Such an amazing performance naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
Today, he has become a talented player whose evaluation is not inferior to that of Kazuya Miyuki. Even everyone's evaluation of him is even higher.
Most of the newcomers have heard of the name of Miyuki. What is his strength? It is inevitable that there will be a question mark in everyone's heart.
But Zhang Han is different!
He really shows his strength, and his strength is not trivial, so that people can't think about it.
"A side pitcher like you and such good ball handling. With these two things alone, even if it is a senior, I am afraid it will be difficult to play well. Coupled with the flexible change ball, believe me, we can definitely fight with the seniors. ”
Miyuki said with confidence.
Kawakami was moved by him, and his blood boiled.
Although he didn't know, would he be able to respond to Miyuki's expectations?
But since Miyuki is willing to believe him, he still hopes that he can respond to Miyuki through his pitching.
At the beginning of the game, the players of the freshman team stood up according to the positions they had agreed before.
Zhang Han made a cameo appearance as second baseman.
He had never guarded this position before.
But it doesn't matter, the defense of the infielders has something in common.
So his pressure is not very great.
The crux of the matter is the pitcher. I just don't know if the pitcher can restrain the attacks of the old students?
To put it bluntly, the pitcher's performance will directly determine the next direction of the game.
If only I could pitch on the court!
Although Zhang Han didn't dare to guarantee that he would definitely be able to block the line of the old team.
But he was sure that he would keep the points conceded within a certain range.
"Whoosh!"
While Zhang Han was thinking nonsense, Kawakami had already thrown the ball.
The pace is so fast!
Not to mention the opponent, many players in the freshman team are all confused.
They don't understand, why is that?
Not even a teammate of a team does not know, let alone an opponent.
Originally, the third-year seniors who were the first to hit the court were holding back their strength and were ready to shoot on the first ball.
But seeing the first ball thrown by Kawakami made the senior dumbfounded.
He'd only heard of this kind of pitching from the side of his body before, and it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.
The speed of the baseball ball is not fast, but with such a huge corner, there is no way for him to shoot.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!!"
Two good balls in a row, it's exactly the same situation.
Huge corners, straight to the diagonal!
Even the players of the Seido High School baseball team trained thoroughly enough.
This is the first time he's seen this happen!
"Ping..."
When it came to the third ball, the senior was forced to swing the bat.
Swing the stick in a hurry, and the result needs no more to say.
"Ping!"
"Smack!"
"Out!"
The baseball that was bounced out just landed directly above Zhang Han.
Zhang Han raised his gloves and confiscated the ball effortlessly.
