Chapter 38: Zhang Han and Tojo (1st Update)
No one is out, there is someone on first base!
The old team launched a frantic attack, and Tojo was caught off guard.
In good conscience, Tojo thinks he voted well.
Because he stays with Zhang Han every day, Tojo actually knows very well in his heart that his strength is probably much worse than that of his seniors.
Despite being the national runner-up pitcher, Tojo didn't have much to ask for himself to play this time.
No matter how many rounds Superintendent Kataoka asks him to vote for? As long as he keeps the points conceded to within two points per game, he should be enough to get the attention of the supervision and coaching staff.
Originally, Tojo set himself a goal of one point per game.
But now the opponent has been replaced by Zhang Han and Chris, seniors like Chris, with one point per game. Tojo thought that was overestimating himself.
Instead of forcing yourself to do what you can't do, it's better to keep your feet on the ground and shoot every ball.
As long as you throw the ball well, the results should be gratifying.
Because he stayed in the same dormitory with Zhang Han, Tojo could better understand the huge strength gap between himself and his seniors.
In other words, before today's game, Tojo was mentally prepared, but the difficulties he faced were still much more difficult than he imagined.
The third-year seniors who have just come on the field are not very eye-catching among the players in the second army.
Tojo didn't even know the name of this senior.
But when he really stood on the court and faced off, that senior gave him a completely different experience.
Precise vision, solid striking strength.
Doesn't seem to matter what ball? As long as the pitch enters the good ball belt, that senior can play solidly.
This kind of pressure was something that Tojo had never experienced even when he participated in national competitions before.
This is the strength of the second team players of the Seido High School baseball team!
You must know that the senior just now is far away from the army.
Although he got the opportunity to play, everyone knew in their hearts that there were only two or three people who really had the strength of the second army and could be promoted to the first army.
The other runners are all accompaniments.
The third-year senior, who had just started playing, was one of the chaperones.
But even he has shown a solid baseball foundation.
When those players who have hopes of making it to the first team play, what kind of strength will they burst out?
There are also Masuko seniors, Miyaki seniors, and Chris seniors......
What kind of terrifying strength will these seniors who stayed in the army before burst out?
And Han-san!
As long as he thought of Zhang Han, Tojo's heart was pounding.
The relationship between the two has already begun since Tojo became the pitcher of Matsukata Less.
In terms of attack, Senior Zhang Han is even better.
But in terms of pitching, Tojo never thought that his strength was under Zhang Han's senior.
Overall, the two fought equally.
Tojo chose to join the Qingdao High School baseball team, on the one hand, because the conditions offered by the school were generous enough, and on the other hand, he also hoped to continue to move forward along Zhang Han's path.
He hopes that the team will be equal, not only in Matsukata Less, but also in the Seido High School baseball team.
One day, when he is in Qingdao High School, he can also be compared with Senior Zhang Han.
At that time, you should have reached a very high peak, right?
glanced at the third-grade senior who was on first base, and as expected, that senior was eager to try and prepare to steal the base.
He's very far away from the baseball.
The fighting spirit of the third-year seniors is not comparable to those of them who have just joined the team.
Now in their third year, they have no way out, and if they can't go any further, their high school baseball career can basically come to an end here.
In this case, those third-grade seniors naturally behaved very hard.
Knowing the thoughts of the third-year seniors, it is not surprising that Tojo behaved towards the seniors.
He let out a long breath and prepared to pitch.
Just as he pitched, the runner on first base moved directly.
"Directly stealing the base?"
The friends in the freshman rest area were all very surprised.
On baseball fields, stealing bases is not so easy to succeed.
All successful base thefts are based on runners' self-confidence and accurate analysis.
But now that the competition has just begun, the seniors probably don't know much about Tojo's strength.
Where do they get their self-confidence? In this case, dare to steal the base.
You know, a miscalculation is likely to give away an outs for nothing.
"That's good!"
Old students in the rest area.
Chris had an appreciative smile on his face.
"The freshmen who have just been assembled, even if everyone's strength is good, the time they train together is a week. The time is too short, and there is no perfect cooperation at all, and there is not much tacit understanding between the players. ”
The third-year who stole the base, he grasped this point, so he didn't hesitate and started to act directly.
When I saw Tojo, who was directly stolen by the runners, I was shocked.
Tojo, who was originally going to use the change ball, directly changed to a straight ball.
If Tojo uses the change ball, he is not a very good catcher to work with, and it is very likely that he will miss the catch. At this time, there was a mistake, and the result was self-evident.
And that's not all.
The most important thing is time.
The third-year senior was placed in the first position, and his speed was much faster than that of ordinary players.
Although it is not as good as holding a position, it is also running faster and faster step by step.
Hideaki Tojo had a hunch that with the change ball, they didn't even have a chance to pass to second base.
So he immediately changed it to a straight ball.
But it is precisely because of this change that the new students have fallen into great passivity.
The second batter of the veteran team is a strong batter in the second grade, and his name is Yamaguchi.
When he saw the baseball flying, he had a hideous smile on his face.
"I'm waiting for you!"
It's a straight ball.
Starting from the third-grade seniors, the flying baseball is already doomed, and it can only be a straight ball.
So Yamaguchi doesn't need to think about anything at all, just shoot straight balls.
"Ping!"
Unlike the first one, Yamaguchi swung the bat, and he hit the baseball very accurately.
Yamaguchi, who hit the ball out, spread the bat and ran to first base desperately.
The baseball rebounded on the ground, and the third-graders, who were originally on first base, directly crossed second base and ran to third base.
The situation became that no one was out, and there were people on first and third base.
Tojo, who had great ambitions, suffered a brutal blow from the beginning.
The second-army players who played on the field were carefully selected before staying in the team.
Each of them is outstanding in strength.
What's more, their cooperation is seamless compared to the freshmen.
After playing together for more than a year, they are obviously not comparable to a team like freshmen who have just run in for a week.
