Volume 2: Dormant Rebirth Chapter 020: Genius Catcher, Kazuya Miyuki (Part 1)
As soon as the welcome match started, the freshmen gave the old students a huge surprise.
Starting with Zhang Han's home run, they scored a full two points, and the score on the field became 2:0, with the freshman team taking the lead.
This is the only time in the history of the Seidou High School baseball club's welcome games.
Those sophomores and juniors had murderous looks in their eyes, and they wished they could eat the freshmen alive.
Especially Zhang Han.
Not only Senior Xiu Ze, but many capable seniors in the second and third grades have set their sights on Zhang Han.
Although they had only fought each other once, the impression it left on people was too deep.
Those seniors probably will never forget the shock that Zhang Han brought to them, even in their dreams.
At the same time, the seniors secretly swore that they would never give up!
This has nothing to do with seniors or juniors. They have already regarded Zhang Han as a competitor of the same level.
They advance to the first rank, the best grindstone.
Just looking at the expressions of Supervisor Kataoka and Minister Ota, you can tell how much shock Zhang Han has brought to them.
As long as Zhang Han can maintain this level in the following competitions, it is basically a foregone conclusion that he will be promoted to the first team.
Only by defeating Zhang Han can the senior students prove themselves to Coach Kataoka and the coaching staff.
They really have the ability to join the first army!
"The way the seniors look at you is like a wild animal staring at its prey. You better be careful!"
Although Kuramochi's tone was full of gloating, Zhang Han could feel kindness from his words.
"Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it."
As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.
As long as you perform well in the freshman team, you will sooner or later be targeted by seniors in the veteran team.
In the next games, we are bound to encounter more difficulties.
Even in private, you may be bullied by seniors.
Zhang Han is very clear about this. He had even experienced it several times when he was in the Matsukata Little League.
But even though he was very clear about the harm of this, he still did it without hesitation.
If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person!
If others are not jealous of you at all, it probably only proves that your own talents are very limited.
It's not worth others' jealousy at all.
As a player, if you want to stand out in the team, outstanding performance is a must.
As for the troubles after you succeed, you can think about them after you succeed.
At this stage, his task is to be the first to take the lead!
As a pitcher, Kawakami does not have as good a mentality as Zhang Han. At this moment, he is extremely nervous.
Although the senior team lost two points first, their momentum was not weakened at all. On the contrary, every senior looked eager to win.
That kind of solemn aura is really terrifying!
Kawakami thinks that he is not a genius like Zhang Han. Faced with such heavy pressure, can he really withstand it?
Can?
When this question came to Kawakami's mind, he was not sure at all.
"Don't be nervous. When you pitched before, weren't you able to throw the ball to the corner? And you also had a very tricky changeup. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a sinker, right?"
When Kawakami heard this, he felt as if he had eaten honey.
Most people will think their breaking ball is a curveball when they see it.
It was the first time he heard someone accurately call out the name of the sinker without being told.
Turning back, he saw a handsome face.
Kazuya Miyuki!
He is the most watched one among all the freshmen.
The reason why I said "before" instead of "now" is mainly because at the beginning of today's game, Zhang Han's performance refreshed everyone's cognition.
The opening is a home run!
And the ball hit was from ace senior Xiu Ze.
Such a stunning performance naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
Today, he has become a talented player who is as highly regarded as Kazuya Miyuki. In fact, everyone 's evaluation of him is even higher.
Most of the newcomers had heard of Miyuki's name. How strong was he? Everyone had a question mark in their mind.
But Zhang Han is different!
He truly demonstrated his strength, and his strength was so extraordinary that it was impossible not to look at him with suspicion.
"You're a side-shooter like me, and you have such good ball control. Just these two things alone would probably be hard for even the seniors to play well. Add in your flexible changeup, and believe me, we can definitely give the seniors a fight."
Miyuki said this with full confidence.
Kawakami was moved by him and his blood boiled.
Although he didn't know whether he could meet Yuki's expectations?
But since Miyuki is willing to believe in him, he still hopes to respond to Miyuki through his own pitching.
When the game started, the players of the freshman team stood in the positions they had agreed upon before.
Zhang Han guest-starred as second baseman.
He had never guarded this position before.
But it doesn’t matter, the defense of infielders has many similarities.
So the pressure on him is not that great.
The key to the problem is still the pitcher. I wonder if the pitcher can control the offense of the old students?
To put it bluntly, the pitcher's performance will directly determine the direction of the game.
If only I could go out there and pitch!
Although Zhang Han couldn't guarantee that he could block the batting line of the veteran team.
But he is sure that he can keep the points lost within a certain range.
“Whoosh!”
While Zhang Han was daydreaming, Kawakami had already thrown the ball.
The pace is so fast!
Not to mention the opponents, many players in the freshman team were all confused.
They couldn't understand why this happened.
I don’t even know my teammates, let alone my opponents.
The third-year senior who was originally going to bat first was holding his strength, ready to take the first shot.
But when the senior saw the first ball thrown by Kawakami, he was dumbfounded.
He had only heard of this kind of pitch that went around the side of the body before, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
The speed of the baseball was not fast, but the huge corner made it impossible for him to shoot.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!!"
Two consecutive good balls, both with exactly the same situation.
Huge corner, straight into the diagonal!
Even the players of Seidou High School baseball team have trained thoroughly enough.
This was the first time he had seen such a situation!
“Ping…”
When it came to the third pitch, the senior had no choice but to swing the bat.
It was a hasty
“Ping!”
"Snapped!"
“Out!”
The baseball bounced back and landed right above Zhang Han.
Zhang Han raised his gloves and easily caught the ball.
