Volume 1 Chasing the Baseball Dream Chapter 020 Special Verification Method
"Before you join the team, we must first understand what your characteristics are. During the remaining period, we will focus on honing them. This way, you will have a relatively good start after entering high school."
Zhang Han felt his eyes were sore and uncomfortable.
He bowed solemnly to Ono Binzhi.
To be honest, he grew up in an environment where he was not used to the etiquette of Tokyo.
In his hometown, such etiquette is very solemn, second only to kneeling.
But this time, he really meant it.
The man in front of him had helped him so much, and Zhang Han couldn't find a way to repay him.
“That’s not necessary.”
Ono Binzhi also looked very emotional, and he waved at Zhang Han.
"As long as you don't bring disgrace to our Songfang name in the future, I will be satisfied."
Zhang Han said nothing. He was not used to shouting slogans, but he nodded very firmly.
He will definitely do what Ono Binzhi asked him to do, and he will do it well.
"Whether you choose City University or Qingdao, the paths you will take in the future are actually similar. The road to a wealthy family is full of thorns. Every step up is full of hardships. The most terrifying thing is that while you are working hard, your competitors will also work hard, and may even work harder than you. There are also those guys who are blessed by God and have monster strength without much effort. Once you enter a wealthy family, these are the challenges you need to face."
"We don't have much time left. In order to have a good start in high school, we must act now."
"yes!"
Matsukata Little League head coach Ono Binzhi's coaching record is only average. After taking over the national Little League team Matsukata , he has not won a national championship.
The best result was the previous runner-up.
In other teams, this is considered an explanation for the past, and it may even be a great honor.
But in Matsukata Little League, it is really just average.
With Matsukata's background and strength, it has only entered the national competition four times in more than ten years, and has never won the championship.
Such results are not even considered excellent, let alone acceptable.
If it weren’t for the fact that Ono Binzhi had just led the team to the national finals and almost won the championship.
This gave the team's management hope.
Maybe he has been fired by now.
In this environment, Ono Binzhi is still willing to waste a lot of time on Zhang Han and help him.
This favor is really huge, and it’s not just ordinary huge.
"You were a junior at City University. You took those tests? Especially the ones after the game. Did they let you pitch?"
As the team's substitute pitcher, what Ono Binzhi can think of is, of course, Zhang Han's pitching.
"No! They never let me pitch or do any special tests."
Before, the city junior ignored Zhang Han, but later he took the initiative to call him.
Needless to say, during the selection process, the junior students from the city university must have discovered some special qualities in Zhang Han.
"The last thing you did was a strike test?"
Ono Binzhi asked.
Zhang Han nodded: "It's a strike test. My test score should be the best!"
This was not surprising to Ono Binzhi. Besides pitching, Zhang Han was best at hitting.
After all, there are not many players with such a high batting average.
"I think you have the potential to hit? That shouldn't be the case. Although you have good ball selection, your swing is still immature. Especially when facing a breaking ball, your performance is not good at all."
Zhang Han has a high batting average in the Songkata Little League and has always been a very important force in the team.
But his highest hitting rate is for straight balls, and he can basically hit the target every time.
But once he switches to a changing ball, his hitting success rate will drop sharply.
This feature has both advantages and disadvantages.
It is also for this reason that although Ono Binzhi promoted Zhang Han to be the main force of the team, he did not find a position for him other than pitcher.
He is not yet a core hitter, at least compared with Hoshida and Miyakawa, there is still a gap.
"I just did a batting test. At first, it was a human test, and later I also tested the machine. My machine pitching was actually average, but when it came to the pitcher's pitching, it was quite smooth."
Zhang Han himself also had many guesses in his mind.
But he still couldn't figure out what City University and Qingdao saw in him.
If they were attracted by his ability as a pitcher, then Zhang Han was easier to understand. He had good ball control and decent speed.
Although there were no changing balls, just these two points, combined with the cooperation of Matsukata's teammates.
It was enough for him to fight his opponent.
Ono Binzhi, who has been a coach for many years, has never been able to discover the true characteristics of Zhang Han, even though his ability is far behind that of the supervisors of the high school giants.
But once someone gives a hint, he can still get a lot of information by using the reverse method.
In general, there are only a few features in terms of attack.
Swing speed, vision, intelligence analysis, swing technique, direction prediction...
Although Zhang Han’s other abilities are not weak, they are not strong enough to withstand the combined efforts of the two giants.
The only thing left seems to be his prediction of position.
He doesn't have top-notch dynamic vision, but he can always hit the ball.
Because Zhang Han grew up in front of Ono Binzhi, as the saying goes, those who are involved are often the most confused, he didn't think about these things.
Now looking back, this guy's attack seemed quite strange.
Not only does his hit success rate exceed that of Hoshida and Miyakawa, but he also rarely fails to predict the direction.
Could it be this guy?
"Come with me to the kendo gym."
In order to verify his guess, Ono Binzhi took Zhang Han directly to the kendo hall of their middle school.
"Teacher, not every mainlander knows Kung Fu. I haven't learned it, not even ordinary boxing and kicking, let alone swordsmanship."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you are asked to come, just come."
Zhang Han followed Ono Binzhi with a sullen face to the kendo hall.
I swear to God, when he was young, he practiced some military boxing with his grandfather.
According to my grandfather, those sets of boxing techniques still have some practical power.
But Zhang Han has never used these to bully anyone.
Not to mention, he hasn't touched it for 4 years since he left his hometown.
As the saying goes, keep your fists ready and your songs on your lips.
After not practicing for such a long time, what little he had practiced has become almost useless.
Even if he fights against an ordinary person who is stronger than him, he probably won't be able to gain any advantage.
Not to mention, I would specifically compete with people who practice these things.
Isn't that just making yourself uncomfortable?
