Volume 2: Dormant Rebirth Chapter 022: Second Swing
"These freshmen are doing a great job!"
"Especially the catcher and the guy who hit the home run earlier. Even if they go to the first team, they should be able to perform well."
Outside the stadium, alumni who came to Qingdao High School baseball team to watch the team practice were talking about it.
The development of today's welcome match exceeded many people's expectations.
In fact, they had vaguely heard rumors before that many of this year's freshmen had shown good potential during the test.
But potential is potential after all, and there is still a long way to go before it can be transformed into real strength.
It takes time to bridge this distance.
Therefore, most alumni were not optimistic about the freshmen before the orientation session began.
It is already amazing for a contestant to perform well, to compete with senior students and even to be ahead in points.
That's simply impossible!
The most important thing in life is to be realistic and take one step at a time with your feet on the ground.
As a result, as soon as today 's welcome game started, everyone was shocked.
So amazing!
The performance of the freshmen is truly amazing!
Not only did they take the lead, but they also maintained it to some extent.
At the end of the two games, they were still leading the senior team 2:0.
Such a performance impressed not only the alumni who came to watch the fun, but also the coaching staff and players of the team.
Everyone was very shocked!
These freshmen are so capable, more capable than they imagined.
The seniors who originally just wanted to show off their strength and beat the newcomers had to change their mindset at this time and treat these juniors in front of them as competitors of the same level as them.
In the freshman team's rest area.
Because the team performed well and took the lead.
The team's atmosphere also became good, the guys were all smiling and discussing their performance and play.
It can be seen that they are very satisfied with their previous performances, and they are secretly competing with each other to keep up the good work in the next games.
Although the freshman team performed well, not every player performed well.
If they want to be promoted, they must not only consider the interests of the team, but also their own performance. If their own performance is not outstanding, how can they be valued by Kataoka and the coaching staff of the Qingdao High School baseball team?
all in all.
The freshman team seems to be thriving on the surface, but in fact, there are many crises hidden in secret.
However, this crisis was concealed by their lead .
Once the team is in trouble.
Then their next path is bound to be very tortuous.
There are a few sensible people among the freshmen, and Zhang Han is one of them.
Looking at the optimistic and positive friends around him, his worries grew.
He usually practices with the seniors from the Second Army and is well aware of the strengths of these scholars.
According to Zhang Han's judgment, the current situation was caused mainly by the seniors in the old student team. They did not expect that the freshmen would be so capable?
In particular, they did not expect that Zhang Han's attack and Yuki's ball coordination would cause them so much trouble.
To put it bluntly, I was just caught off guard.
Once they react, they will surely launch a violent counterattack. By that time, the freshmen team will probably find it difficult to withstand it.
Considering the freshman team, a two-point lead is still too little. They really want to stand on the same starting line with the senior team and play a fair game.
We must get more points!
Although the score cannot guarantee victory for the freshman team, it can give them a relatively fair platform.
Let them rely on their strength and fight their opponents with real swords and guns.
This was the thought in Zhang Han's mind when he stood in the batter's box for the second time.
He wants to score!
He held the bat firmly in his hands. This time, unlike before, he did not hold the bat completely long, but shortened the hitting distance.
Miyauchi, who was in the catcher position, was keenly aware of this.
"snort!"
His two noses, like a burping bull, angrily spewed out two clouds of gas.
This little brother is so cunning!
Miyauchi and Hidezawa had already designed a set of ball matching strategies to target his long hits.
The two were very confident that they could solve this troublesome younger brother's problem.
Now he has changed to a normal swing and no longer pursues full-strength long hits like before.
There was no way to implement the strategy they had originally formulated.
Hidezawa on the pitcher's mound is, after all, the ace of the Seidou High School baseball team.
Seeing the expression on Gongnei's face, he actually guessed that their original plan would not work.
Xiu Ze shook his head at first, then nodded with a firm look.
It doesn’t matter, just face off!
Zhang Han’s previous attack was indeed outstanding.
But there is also an element of coincidence and luck.
He didn't believe it. He couldn't even deal with a little kid who had just entered high school.
As long as he can fully demonstrate his pitching, he doesn't believe that he can't suppress Zhang Han?
The pitcher's desire for a head-on confrontation is highly inflated.
In this situation, Gong Nei could only go with the flow.
"I also believe that with your strength, you can definitely deal with him."
bring it on!
The pitcher and catcher were all determined and on the same page.
Xiu Ze raised his legs high and used all his strength to throw the ball.
After being hit with a home run before, it was impossible for him to treat Zhang Han as an ordinary junior.
It is even more impossible to show mercy.
He put all his strength into this goal.
"call out!"
The baseball instantly passed through numerous obstacles and came in front of Zhang Han.
Zhang Han watched the ball fly past him without any reaction.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!!"
At the referee's seat, Director Kataoka, wearing sunglasses, nodded secretly.
Although it was a little late, the team had already lost two points.
But Xiuze finally recovered his original pitching form.
As long as he can pitch with the power he deserves, he will be one of the best pitchers in the entire Tokyo area.
"call out!"
Immediately following the first ball, Senior Xiu Ze threw out his second ball without any pause.
The position of this ball is much different than the first one.
The position of the first ball was very tricky. Although this ball did not fall completely in the center of the strike zone, it was only three or four balls away from the center, so it was generally a good ball in the middle.
Facing a good ball right in the middle, and it was the most common straight ball.
Zhang Han would never allow himself to let go.
He took a decisive step forward and swung the bat in his hand at the flying ball.
“Ping!”
The bat hit the baseball, making a crisp sound, and then the baseball bounced off the bat and landed behind Coach Kataoka.
"Out of bounds~"
