Volume 2: Dormant Rebirth Chapter 017: A Shock
At the beginning of the welcome match, Coach Kataoka unexpectedly gathered the strongest freshmen together.
Four of them have already been training with the Second Army, and there are also several special recruits who have received scholarships .
As the brains of the current team, Yu Xing and Zhang Han gathered together. Several friends who were about to play also gathered together.
"It seems that our supervisor is very dissatisfied with the third-year seniors, or simply put, with the first army."
Zhang Han believes that Aso’s judgment should be accurate.
It provides such a good platform for freshmen to display their talents, while at the same time bringing all senior students into one team.
The match between the two teams could not be said to be completely fair, but it was as fair as possible within the scope of the conditions.
Unlike the previous selection and promotion system, the judging criteria for the Qingdao High School should be based on strength.
It doesn't matter if you are in first, second or third grade.
Only if you perform well in the competition will Coach Kataoka consider promoting you to the first team.
After the new team is formed, the first thing to do is to assign positions and batting orders on the field.
After spending some time together, what strengths do each of you possess?
Everyone knows it.
In this case, the position is not difficult to adjust.
Zhang Han, as the person with the highest batting score before, was naturally assigned to the fourth batter.
Although some of the newcomers were not convinced, this was the best arrangement. Otherwise, who knows how long the argument would last.
At least everyone can accept Zhang Han taking this position.
Zhang Han himself expressed a different opinion.
“If we play against the seniors and follow the routine, I don’t think we have much hope.”
"So what do you think?"
Miyuki asked.
"If you have no objection, I would like to recommend myself to be the first runner. Then let the stronger ones take the second and third positions. I am afraid that our physical strength and skills are not much better than those of our seniors. If we want to win at this time, we can only win by surprise. First, get the leading points, and then think about how to maintain the advantage."
When saying this, Zhang Han's eyes flashed with wisdom and determination.
Although several of the newcomers were not very satisfied with the four-member team.
They hated Zhang Han's suggestions, so naturally they would not be too interested.
But they couldn't find any excuse to refuse Zhang Han's proposal.
Especially the goal he proposed, this guy actually wanted to defeat the seniors?
Although the freshmen think that the possibility is not high.
But this proposal is so tempting that it would be fine if no one brought it up, but if someone brought it up, they would certainly think about it.
If they can beat the senior team consisting of first-team substitutes and second-team main players in the welcome match.
That will definitely make you famous.
Coach Kataoka and the coaching staff can no longer turn a blind eye to these people.
Just thinking about that scene makes people excited.
If there is any possibility, even just a slight chance, they would never want to let it go.
Everyone agreed to Zhang Han's proposal, and Zhang Han himself also made concessions.
He gave the opportunity to be a pitcher to Kawakami, and he himself played as a second baseman.
This is the only position that is still missing among them.
In the top of the first inning, the rookie team attacked.
The first one to step into the batter's zone was Zhang Han.
Seeing Zhang Han walk into the batter's box, there was a lot of noise in the rest area of the veteran team.
Everyone was talking about it, and it was obvious that this result was beyond their expectations.
When Zhang Han was in junior high school, he was well-known for his outstanding batting skills.
Many people have heard of the name of a senior student of the Qingdao High School baseball team. Although such fame is largely due to his status as an international student.
But if Zhang Han did not have enough strength, he would not be able to become famous even if he was an international student.
In addition, he scored the highest score in batting during the team joining test.
Practice with the Second Army.
In the beginning, due to physical strength and intensity, various mistakes occurred.
By the end, his physical strength had caught up and his performance was getting better and better.
Nowadays, he can basically catch any baseball as long as it is within his defensive range.
He grew so fast that he became very famous in the Second Army.
Originally, the old students had always thought that with such a killer skill like Zhang Han, the freshman team would definitely keep him as the fourth batter.
Unexpectedly, he was the first to step into the batter's box.
This is indeed a very severe test for Senior Xiu Ze.
Senior Xiu Ze has countless advantages when pitching.
On the other hand, there are also several weaknesses.
One of the weaknesses is the unstable start.
The referee, Supervisor Kataoka, had a slight gleam in his eyes.
He didn't know who came up with this idea.
The person who could come up with this idea usually observes very carefully and has a high ability to collect intelligence.
And he is also very thoughtful.
People like this who are good at observation and thinking are often particularly reassuring on the court.
Moreover, as long as the player's physical fitness is not too bad, his strength will generally not be too bad.
"call……"
Zhang Han, standing in the batter's box , did not have as many thoughts as he did in the dugout.
Now he had only one thought in mind, which was to hit the flying baseball away.
He let out a long breath, his eyes fixed on Xiu Ze on the pitcher's mound.
Zhang Han has seen Xiu Ze’s pitching, and this senior has fully unleashed his strength.
The ball is so powerful!
Even for a strong hitter, it is difficult to hit his ball far enough.
If you want to hit the ball, the short-hit method of holding the bat simply won't work.
You have to swing the bat with all your strength!
coming!
Before Zhang Han could think too much, the white ball came whizzing towards him.
Senior Xiu Ze was very decisive in throwing the ball, even if it was a test ball, he threw it as if it was the winning ball.
Zhang Han, who was well prepared, guessed the approximate location of the baseball based on Xiu Ze's body inertia almost the moment he saw Xiu Ze move.
Well done!
He was well prepared and was waiting for the moment the ball flew over.
He held the bat tightly with both hands and swung it with all his strength.
“Buzz…”
The moment the bat was swung, Zhang Han heard a clear sound of the bat breaking through the air.
how come?
Zhang Han is not known for his strength, at least when he was in Songfang, he was not known for his strength.
Now, why suddenly?
“Ping!”
Before Zhang Han had time to think, the baseball bat hit the white ball hard, sweeping the ball away.
Everyone in the stadium focused their eyes on the small ball, and watched it fly nearly a hundred meters and land on the protective net outside the court.
