Chapter 2: Matsukata's Substitute Pitcher

Early the next morning, Zhang Han left home and went directly to the team.

He is the main member of Matsukata Junior League and the first substitute for ace pitchers.

As soon as I entered the team, I just saw the sophomore rookie duo.

Hideaki Tojo and Shinji Kanamaru.

Matsukata's reputation is not limited to Tokyo, but also throughout the country.

Even in professional baseball, there are countless talented players who have come out of Matsukata.

To put it bluntly, those who can come out of this, win the number, and play on behalf of the team are not simple characters.

Such a team, generally speaking, the third-year players of the national middle school hold the main position.

On the one hand, they are older, and their strength is indeed better. On the other hand, the results of the third-year contestants in the third year directly affect their future.

In other words, under the same conditions, the coach and the supervisor will give preference to the third-year players for opportunities and positions.

But even under such harsh conditions, these two people were able to stand out and become the main force of the team.

It is not difficult to see how outstanding the strength of the two of them is.

Tojo, in particular, is one year younger than Zhang Han, but he is still the team's trump card.

Although there are some other reasons for this. But he was able to become an ace, to a large extent, because of his strength, which is really good enough.

Otherwise, Superintendent Ono would never let him be the team's ace pitcher.

"Hansang!"

"Senior Zhang!"

When the two saw Zhang Han, they stepped forward to say hello with smiles on their faces.

Just won the national runner-up, the atmosphere of the team is very good.

But where does Zhang Han still have the heart to greet at this time? He nodded slightly, said hello, and then ran directly to Ono's office.

"Is Senior Zhang Han angry?"

Kanemaru asked with a frown.

This senior, although he is usually a little cold, is very polite.

They took the initiative to say hello, and Zhang Han would still follow the greetings.

I don't know what's wrong today, but I didn't say a word.

"No, we just won the national runner-up. Although it is one step away from the championship, this result is already the best result of our team in recent years. Han-sang has no reason to be angry! ”

Tojo shook his head.

"Sure enough, it's because of that!"

"What?"

"Obviously the strength is above you, and you are a third-grade senior. As a result, the back number of the trump card was stolen by your kid. Although Senior Zhang Han didn't say anything, he must have minded in his heart. ”

Kanemaru guessed.

Tojo couldn't help but roll his eyes: "If the senior minded, he would have minded a long time ago." Now that the competition is over, what else does Hansang have to mind? Besides, who said that my strength is not as good as Hansang? ”

Tojo said, glaring at Kanemaru fiercely.

"You pitchers, you're a bunch of self-centered guys."

Matsukata's supervision room.

"Coach!"

Zhang Han changed his previous cold attitude and greeted him politely.

Ono Binzhi looked up and saw that it was Zhang Han, so he motioned for him to come and sit directly.

Zhang Han was not polite, and sat opposite Ono Binzhi.

"What's the matter?"

Shortly after the end of the national competition, the tasks of the third-year contestants have been completed.

They have just won the national runner-up, and it is the hot time.

As the team's overseer, Ono is also busy to death.

On the one hand, it is necessary to give interviews to the media, and on the other hand, it is necessary to consider the composition of the new team.

Matsukata's main team is basically made up of third-year players. Among the main players, ace pitcher Tojo and third baseman Kanamaru are sophomores.

The others, all of them, were in third grade.

With such a large number of players leaving the team, Matsukata Shaoba's reorganization work gave Ono Binzhi a headache.

It's not even called reorganization, it's just tearing down and rebuilding.

Now, he has received offers from various high schools, and he has to think about the future for these third-year players.

Workload. To add insult to injury.

Matsukata is one of the most famous in the Tokyo area. Even in the whole country, it has a lot of fame.

The players who went out from them, especially those who had the opportunity to play, were originally the objects of competition from major universities.

In addition, Matsukata has just won the national runner-up, and the players in the team have also become hot.

There are countless high schools that have come to poach.

As a proud disciple of Ono Binzhi, although Zhang Han is the team's substitute pitcher, he has a lot of opportunities to play.

In the competition, he also won a good performance.

"Coach, you said before that there are teams that are interested in me, and I want to ask which teams are they? What kind of treatment can they give? ”

"I know that you kid won't be kind enough to come to see me."

"Look at what you said, of course I'm here to see you, by the way, my own questions."

"You little slippery head, wait."

Ono Binzhi turned around to look for something, and Zhang Han looked at his back and fell into deep thought.

Speaking of which, the two were able to get acquainted, which was also a bad fate.

At that time, Zhang Han had just come to Tokyo and was not familiar with the people here.

Just in time for a group of adults to play baseball, Zhang Han was originally a spectator.

Later, one side was short of numbers, and took the initiative to pull Zhang Han to make up the number.

Zhang Han went up!

After the game, Ono Binzhi, as the ace of the winning side, patted Zhang Han's shoulder with a smile on his face.

"The boy's baseball, he can't play it! Exercise more! ”

At that time, Zhang Han was itching at the root of his hate.

Although he is a temporary number, this kind of failure is really uncomfortable.

"I'll beat you next time!"

"It's good to be determined, but with your skills, it's still 100 years before you want to beat me! By the way, how long have you been learning baseball? ”

"A month!"

Because of these three words, Ono Binzhi applied to the boss of Matsukata Shaobato to let Zhang Han learn baseball for free.

That's what he told his boss at the time.

"It's true that this teenager can't bring economic benefits to the team, but he can bring victory to the team. It only takes two years for him to become an indispensable force in the team. ”

Although in the end, Zhang Han did not get the back number of the trump card. But Matsukata Shaobang's achievements in the past two years do have his contribution.

"Found it!"

Ono Binzhi took a thick stack of materials and sat down opposite Zhang Han again.

"There are a lot of teams interested in you, and I have received 31 exemption invitations here. Of these, 27 are from Tokyo, and 4 are from outside Tokyo. ”

"I didn't expect me to be so popular!"

"It's less smelly and beautiful! Hoshida and Miyagawa, received more invitations. There are even the third high school of the city university, Daocheng Industrial and Didong High School. ”

"Isn't Teto from East Tokyo?"

"So what, as long as the strength is enough, the giants are not just picked."
