Volume 2: Dormant Rebirth Chapter 026 Backbone
“The atmosphere has changed!”
An alumnus who was watching the game muttered thoughtfully.
Although the situation on the field did not change much, the senior team was unable to catch up with the score or even surpass the score in a short time.
But the old schoolmate could clearly feel that the positions of the two teams had undergone a drastic change.
Although the senior team had the upper hand before, their players' individual strength and team organizational ability were both better than those of the freshman team.
But the freshman team was not ambiguous either. Under the strong leadership of Kazuya Miyuki and Zhang Han, they fought on equal terms with the senior team.
The overall momentum was actually not completely at a disadvantage.
They even relied on Zhang Han's strong personal striking ability to take the lead over the senior team in the score.
This may be difficult for many people to accept. But in fact, in the game just now, the freshman team had the advantage.
Even if they don't have the momentum, they still have the advantage in the overall situation.
In the subsequent games, if there are no major changes, it is not impossible for the freshman team to win the game in one go.
Although the overall strength of the senior team is stronger, not even a little bit, but in a competition, it is never the case that whoever is stronger will definitely win the final victory.
Otherwise, people wouldn't have to play the game. Both sides would just bring out their famous players, compare their statistics, and the weaker side would just automatically admit defeat.
Although their overall strength is not as good as that of the senior team, judging from the situation just now, the freshman team has a certain probability of winning the game.
But this atmosphere was completely ended with the appearance of one person.
This person is Chris, a sophomore mixed-race catcher.
He perfectly combines all the advantages of Eastern and Western people, and is so handsome that you are speechless.
Not only that, his skills are as good as his looks. Since he came on the court, the second and third grade players seemed to have found their backbone.
They believed that under Chris's leadership, these arrogant younger brothers would soon be defeated by them.
There is no reason, no logic.
They just have this feeling and they believe in it firmly.
Zhang Han once heard coach Ono say that a true core player does not matter what position he plays.
As long as he steps on the court, he will bring huge changes to his team.
The originally loose team will immediately form a new team around him.
This is the core of the team!
Such players all have very strong personal charm. They don't even need to do anything, just a gesture can change the atmosphere on the field.
In the past, Zhang Han always thought that Xiao Ye was bragging.
Coming from a wealthy team, he has a deep impression of the gap between wealthy teams and ordinary teams.
In his impression, Matsukata has never been defeated by an ordinary team.
Even for Miyuki, the little league he was in wasn't that famous.
But that was only relative. Compared to the big little leagues, they were indeed weak. But compared to the average teams, they were much stronger than them.
Just one player, just one core player.
I just want to lead a team to defeat a strong enemy.
Such plots are likely to happen frequently in the world of the second dimension.
Under normal circumstances, unless the weaker party is extremely lucky, it is difficult for them to win.
After all, baseball is not a sport that can be played by one person.
This was Zhang Han’s previous opinion, and he attached great importance to this law.
But now I have met Chris, even though the encounter was brief.
Zhang Han could still feel the changes that a core player brought to the team.
He and Chris had played against each other in middle school. At that time, Chris was the captain of the Kamemaru Little League team.
Although Zhang Han had to admit Chris's talent, he was sure that Chris at that time was not able to change a team by himself like he is now.
And now, he has it.
Since he came on the court, the atmosphere of the senior team has indeed changed a lot.
This was quickly reflected in the score.
"screw you!"
The second-year senior named Jun Isajiki is the guy with a mustache who doesn't look like a good person.
He actually hit a ball that deviated from the strike zone and sent it flying.
Yuki, who was the catcher, obviously had not expected such a situation. His delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Although Senior with the mustache looks scary at ordinary times, he is not very good during the percussion practice.
Originally, Miyuki thought that his threat level was not high.
Who would have thought that once the real competition came, this guy would be like taking stimulants.
Able to unleash 120% or even 150% of one's own strength.
“Ping…”
The baseball was hit out, and Yukichi tried his best to find someone to fill the hole.
But how can it be too late ?
Previously, the cooperation of the freshman team was mainly completed by the four people who were promoted to the second team.
Coach Kataoka and the coaching staff had a keen eye and actually discovered the potential in these four people.
After two or three weeks of practice, they now have the strength of second-tier players.
But there were only four of them, and the other newcomers, LL, obviously had not reached that level. It was fine if they just followed the flow of the game, but once they faced the challenge alone, their flaws were quickly exposed.
Isajiki Jun relied on a not-so-outstanding hit to reach second base in one breath.
The subsequent offense seemed to be a natural process, with hit and run, forcing points.
The players from the senior team successfully recovered the first point in the fourth inning.
The score became 3:1.
That’s not all, the freshmen also made mistakes in defense.
The runner could have been blocked, but the attempt failed and the first baseman missed the ball.
The runner not only broke through to first base, but even went past first base and reached second base.
The situation became one out and a runner on second base.
Chris, who had just come on as a substitute, stood in the batter's box under such circumstances.
The players of the senior team obviously recognized Chris's strength.
When they saw Chris stepping into the batter's box, their noise doubled.
Kazuya Miyuki's blood was boiling.
Ever since he joined the Seidou High School baseball team, he has been looking forward to this scene all the time, to compete fairly with Chris in a game.
No matter what the final result is, he enjoys the process.
Come on, throw your best shot over here.
Yukichi's condition has reached 120% of the usual level.
But at this time, problems arose with his partner.
…
