Volume 2: Dormant Rebirth Chapter 010 Poverty Limits My Imagination
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Han and his team have been in the team for more than two weeks.
During these two weeks, they had a very busy life, sweating a lot during practice every day.
Compared to other friends who could only do basic exercises and couldn't even touch the ball, Zhang Han and his four friends were relatively lucky, at least they could still touch the ball.
But in this process, they were inevitably crushed by the seniors from the second army.
This crushing mainly comes from two aspects, one is physical strength and the other is appetite.
I don't know what kind of training these seniors have gone through in the past one or two years. They are so strong that they are almost inhuman.
Even Zhang Han, who was training in a wealthy little league, found it difficult to keep up with their training intensity for a while.
Another thing is appetite!
What is even more distressing is that there is a line of large words written openly on the door of the baseball club’s exclusive cafeteria.
You must eat more than three bowls of rice!
Zhang Han was quite speechless about this. Not everyone is a glutton, and not everyone has such a big appetite.
It was mandatory to eat more than three bowls, and second-year senior Jun Isajiki was asked to supervise.
Jun Isashiki is the second-team outfielder with a mustache. He looks fierce and ferocious, like a bad boy.
The freshmen were already nervous when facing their seniors, and they felt even more uncomfortable when facing Isajiki Jun.
I couldn't eat in the first place, and now I can't even swallow it.
Miyuki is rather cunning and often pours his food to a contestant named Maezono.
Maezono is also a newcomer, and he has a strong presence among the newcomers. This is not because his ball skills are so commendable, but mainly because he can eat a lot. He is the only newcomer who can eat four bowls.
Another point is that this person is quite passionate and plays a strong leading role among the freshmen.
Zhang Han also felt that three bowls of rice were a bit too much. He had always felt that his digestive system was pretty good.
Now, I dare not make such a guarantee.
I really can’t eat it!
This uncomfortable feeling lasted for nearly two weeks before his stomach gradually adapted to the huge amount of food.
The more you eat, the more calories you get. In order to keep his body in shape, Zhang Han practices swinging the bat for an extra hour every day.
In order to consume the excess calories.
Otherwise, he was afraid that not only would his height grow to over 1.8 meters, but his weight would also exceed 100 kilograms.
On the other hand , the Qingdao High School baseball team was on top and winning victory after victory.
This was told to him by Gao Junming, Zhang Han's senior roommate.
Gao Jun is a substitute member of the first team, with the number 15.
The team successfully made it to the quarterfinals, and next they will face one of the top teams in West Tokyo, City University No. 3 High School.
The team attaches great importance to this game.
Not only was the First Army very actively prepared, but even the slogans of their Second and Third Army cheerleaders had been specially rehearsed.
"Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"
Mr. Kuramochi, this is a little hard to understand.
In previous competitions, the school would organize players from the second and third divisions to watch, but it was basically voluntary, not mandatory, and there would be no special training.
Why are we so positive in today's game?
"Qingdao, Shida. Just think of it as Real Madrid and Barcelona. The clash between them is a fight between mortal enemies."
They live in the same region and are both wealthy families.
It would be strange if these two teams had a good relationship.
They are sworn enemies every year, competing for the only spot in Koshien every year.
Compared to the up-and-coming Daocheng, the feud between Qingdao High School and City University can even be traced back to several decades ago .
Not only their players are competitors, but also their fans, the seniors and alumni who have graduated from the school.
Including their families and supporters.
They just don't like each other.
Normally, they may be good colleagues, close classmates, or even close lovers.
Once the two teams meet, the fact that they don't fight each other to a bloody loss is already a credit to Tokyo's relatively sound legal system.
That's a bit of an exaggeration, but that's basically it.
Today's match between Qingdao and City University was filled with this kind of tension.
Zhang Han and his team rarely sit together with the freshmen of the same class. They basically stay in the second team. After more than two weeks of running-in, the second team players have basically accepted their existence.
This recognition, of course, is earned through their strength.
"Senior Kominato, why didn't you join the First Army?"
As for other people, Kuramochi could understand.
But after practicing with Ryosuke Kominato every day, he truly feels that Ryosuke Kominato's ability is stronger than many of his seniors in the first team.
Although Director Kataoka is a bit cruel, he still has a good eye. He should not be blind to it, right?
This question was met with a cold look from Ryosuke Kominato.
He asked Kuramochi with a smile .
"Do you have any comments?"
It can be seen that although he didn't say it, he was also very unhappy in his heart.
When Zhang Han saw the two people getting together, he immediately hid far away.
These two guys are too troublesome, he can't afford to offend either of them.
The school specially found three buses to take the players and cheerleaders to the Hachioji Stadium where the game was held.
It's free!
As expected of a private aristocratic school, it has an aura of nouveau riche everywhere.
Zhang Han often felt that Qingdao was really rich.
Originally, Zhang Han thought that these buses were rented temporarily. Later, when he heard from senior Guizi from the team, he realized that poverty had severely limited his imagination.
The entire school has more than a dozen buses, and there are three buses exclusively for the baseball club.
The rest will be used by other clubs or school activities .
When Zhang Han heard the news, his mouth was so wide open that he could swallow an egg.
"What about normal times?"
"It's in the school parking lot."
Zhang Han felt deeply that he did not understand the world of the wealthy at all.
When they arrived at Hachioji Stadium, the bus from City University No. 3 High School also arrived.
Zhang Han has a very special feeling about today's opponent.
"Are you feeling a little regretful that you almost became the opposing player?"
At some point, Takashima Rei came behind Zhang Han and whispered in his ear.
The wafting fragrance blew the hair around Zhang Han's ears.
He turned his head and looked at Takashima Rei seriously: "I will make them regret it!"
After saying that, he nodded at Takashima Rei, took a few quick steps, and caught up with the little friend in front.
"Tokyo Baseball Spring Tournament, quarter-finals, game 2. The match between West Tokyo Seidou High School and City University No. 3 High School has officially begun!"
