Volume 3: Hot Summer Chapter 026: Three Ups and Three Downs
Hachioji Stadium, the rest area on the Seidou High School side.
"Look, those nasty guys are coming!"
Dong Qingguo said in a cold voice.
Zhang Han looked in the direction he pointed.
Familiar white uniforms, a total of 22 people, including the team's supervisor and assistant coach, all the members of the city's senior high school team, all sitting upright in the front row of the opposite stands.
They looked down at the rest area of the Seidou High School baseball team and were whispering to each other.
Even though there was no grudge between them and the city’s top three high schools before, there was even some connection.
Zhang Han felt very unhappy in his heart.
The feud between the Qingdao High School baseball team and the city's third high school can be traced back hundreds of years.
Their displeasure with each other is revealed in their bones.
Zhang Han, who has already recognized his identity as a player of Qingdao High School baseball team, is no exception.
He had that feeling , he wished he could catch all the contestants from the city's third high school and give them a good beating.
Even Zhang Han, who had never played against the city's third-year high school, felt this way, not to mention the second- and third-year players who had a deeper grudge against the city's third-year high school.
There was fire in their eyes.
They must win this game!
Then, next Saturday, they would go on the field and defeat the city's third high school fairly and avenge their defeat in the spring competition.
"The people from the city's third high school are watching over there , don't embarrass Qingdao! Get on the field!!"
Coach Kataoka didn't say anything about tactics, he just told everyone to go on the field.
He believed that with the encouragement from the top three players in the city, he didn't even need to encourage the players, as the players would be able to give 120% of their strength on their own.
Although it is important to have some hidden cards before a formal battle with a strong enemy, the Qingdao High School baseball team has too many hidden dangers and basically has no hidden cards.
Kataoka is also a good cook who cannot cook without rice.
He didn't expect anything from the tactical level. As long as the players could play to their strengths and show their skills.
He believes that the team will become stronger and stronger.
“Ouch!!!”
The players of Seidou responded in unison.
In the top of the first inning, Qingshan High School attacked first.
All the main players of Qingdao High School went out to play, each standing in their own positions, waiting for the players of Aoyama High School baseball team to launch an offensive.
the other side.
The players from Qingshan High School did not become intimidated by the fact that they were facing a powerful team.
Their players also roared and prepared to go on stage one by one.
The first person to step into the batter's box was Nijo, the shortstop for Aoyama High School.
Based on the information previously collected by the Seidou High School baseball team and his performance in the previous few games.
The players of Qingdao have already concluded that the guy in front of them is one of the core players of Qingshan High School.
Once this guy gets to the base, Qingshan High School's chances of scoring will greatly increase.
"We must not give our opponents a chance to strike first, so we must be very decisive on our first goal, senior!"
Miyuki, who was at the catcher position , had a determined look in his eyes.
On the pitcher's mound, Xiu Ze, wearing the No. 1 jersey, could clearly feel the dominance of his junior.
The first ball he wanted was a good ball close to the inside corner and a corner kick.
This is a very tricky position and one that challenges the pitcher's ability.
When Hidezawa looks at Miyuki, he often has an illusion.
It seemed as if the opponent was not his junior, but a player of the same age, or even a senior.
The requirements are extremely strict and not polite at all.
It is said that pitchers are a group of self-centered guys. In Hidezawa's opinion, Miyuki Kazuya is also a self-centered, hateful bastard.
Arrogant, self-righteous, disrespectful to seniors, and vicious...
There are simply too many shortcomings and annoying things about him to count.
but.
As a partner on the court, this guy is really reliable and scary.
His talent as a catcher is no less than that of the injured Chris.
For the team's victory!
No matter how much I dislike this brat, I have to cooperate with him.
He raised his legs high and took a strong step forward. As his body's center of gravity shifted , the baseball in Xiu Ze's hand shot out like a sniper cannon shell.
"call out!"
When the batter in the batter's box saw the baseball fly out, he felt his calves trembling.
Looking from his position, what was thrown was not a baseball, but a cannonball.
Faced with such heavy artillery, he couldn't even muster the slightest desire to resist.
As a result, he could only watch the baseball fly past him without being able to react.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!!"
On the field, the fielders standing behind Xiu Ze all had excitement on their faces.
Before the tournament, Hidetaka's pitching was still problematic from time to time. Even at the beginning of the tournament , strictly speaking, Hidetaka's condition was not very good.
Unexpectedly, as the competition progressed, the potential of this senior was fully tapped.
The pitching became more and more stable and the momentum became stronger and stronger.
Nowadays, he already looks like an ace pitcher.
Of course, the person who felt the most deeply about this was Miyuki.
When he caught the ball, he felt a huge rotational recoil force coming from his left glove.
The ball remained restless after entering his glove, trying to break free.
This feeling is so good!
Although the baseball was not thrown exactly to the designated location, the power and momentum of the pitch were fully unleashed.
As long as Xiu Ze can display his indomitable momentum when pitching.
Then it will be difficult for the batter to hit the ball.
“Good throw!”
“What a beautiful shot!!”
"Let them call us, we will stop them."
Led by the ace pitcher, the Qingdao High School baseball team has a new momentum.
The flames in their eyes were no longer just hatred and obsession with revenge towards the city's third high school.
At this point, the players even began to enjoy the game a little bit.
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!!"
"strike out!!"
“Ping!”
“Out!!”
"nice shot!"
…
In just a blink of an eye, Hidezawa had eliminated the first two batters of Aoyama High School.
A strikeout and an infield bounce ball.
The batters of Aoyama High School were like lambs to be slaughtered in the face of Hidezawa's powerful pitching, and had no power to resist.
The third batter gritted his teeth and hit the ball.
But the ball didn't even fly 15 meters before Zhang Han rushed up and caught it in his glove.
"Snapped!"
“Out!!!”
As soon as the game started, the Seidou High School baseball team made the players of Aoyama High School go up and down three times, achieving a perfect start.
…
