Volume 3: Hot Summer Chapter 23 Advancement to the Top 16
"Third batter, shortstop, Zhang Han."
This success can be said to be within the expectations of many people.
After all, Zhang Han was already the sixth batter of Qingdao.
Now that a substitute has come on the court, his strength is definitely not as good as his.
It's natural for him to play in the core lineup.
But when Qingdao really arranged it this way, the players of those teams who came to scout Qingdao's games still found it difficult to accept.
A freshman actually plays as a core player in a prestigious high school.
And it was in an official competition.
Why does this feeling feel so weird?
The pitcher and catcher duo of the Third High School did not look down on Zhang Han just because he was a freshman.
On the contrary, the two of them were extremely cautious during their confrontation with Zhang Han.
Although Zhang Han had no fame at all before.
But Zhang Han’s performance in the last round against Musashi High School was simply too dazzling.
Any team that plays against the Seidou High School baseball team will no longer be able to ignore him.
The same is true for the pitchers and catchers at No. 3 High School.
As a result, all they shot were corner balls, not giving Zhang Han any chance to perform at all.
“That’s absolutely amazing!”
In this case, Zhang Han himself had no way out.
Even if he could predict where the baseball would land, that was all he could predict.
Since the ball didn't even enter the strike zone, he couldn't take any action even if he wanted to.
This is not the most speechless thing for Zhang Han!
What made Zhang Han most speechless was that these two guys would rather send him off than confront him head-on.
Who do they think will be next?
"Ha ha!"
While waiting to be attacked, Dong Qingguo felt as if he had just eaten grass.
A batter was walked to base before me?
Isn’t it amazing?
"Bad ball!"
"Walk to first base!!"
No one out, bases loaded.
As Zhang Han was admitted, in the rest area and stands of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
There are a large number of people who can no longer bear to watch it.
They had the same questions as Zhang Han.
Are these guys on the Third High School baseball team crazy?
They had the audacity to load the bases before Dong Qingguo even entered the batter's box.
In fact, not only the people from Seidou, but also the pitcher-catcher duo of Third High School are equally stupid.
The two people stood in their respective positions, staring at each other.
Why did it go wrong?
They racked their brains but couldn't figure out what was going on.
According to their original expectations, Zhang Han was a newcomer and would definitely be eager to perform.
When he is chased, he will definitely swing the bat.
As a talented player, they can't just stand there and get struck out. They can't afford to lose that guy.
Unexpectedly, the opponent was much calmer than they thought, and was completely indifferent to the balls outside the strike zone.
How could they know that Zhang Han had the same idea as them? The most important reason why Zhang Han was so calm was that he was very sure that the pitcher-catcher duo of the Third High School baseball team would not dare to walk him.
Unless they are crazy!
The result is predictable.
"Haha! Haha!! Hehehe!!!"
In the strike zone, Dong Qingguo had already begun to make inhuman humming sounds.
As a candidate for the strongest hitter in all of Tokyo.
He was actually ignored !
Given Dong Qingguo's bad temper, it would be strange if he didn't get angry.
The pitching and catching duo of the Third High School baseball team are now in a difficult situation.
No matter what they think in their hearts, they can only go ahead at this time.
“Whoosh!”
Throw the white ball out here.
In the strike zone, the Dongqing Kingdom was like a prehistoric monster that had just awakened.
The moment he opened his eyes, all the players of the Third High School baseball team shuddered in their hearts.
That kind of fear and awe was as if one had encountered the legendary natural enemy.
"boom!"
As the bat swung, it felt like a small tornado was blowing through the entire strike zone.
At this moment, the air within two or three square meters around Dongqing Kingdom seemed to have been sucked out.
Not only the catcher, but even the referee felt a little breathless.
“Ping!”
The bat hit the white ball, and the white ball flew into the sky like a rocket with full power.
"Fly, fly out..."
"Bases loaded, home run!!!"
"Qingdao High School 4:0, leading the opponent!!"
At this moment, the stands went crazy.
Although many people have had such a premonition before.
But when this scene really happens, the shock and emotion still make people excited.
"Qingdao! Qingdao!!!"
"Dongqing Kingdom! Dongqing Kingdom!!!"
From this moment on, the rest of the game was completely dominated by the rhythm of the Seidou High School baseball team.
The friends on the Third High School baseball team were like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
To say that they were able to reach the third round of West Tokyo, their strength is still very good.
Even if they are not as good as Qingdao, the gap is huge, but they will not collapse completely.
But there was no way, their team's style was just restrained by the Seidou High School baseball team.
In addition, there are many substitute players, and when they finally get a chance to play, they don’t know what it means to show mercy.
In a word, the Seidou High School baseball team went completely crazy.
Dong Qingguo alone hit three home runs and drove in seven RBIs.
He broke his personal home run record to 42, finally living up to the efforts of coach Kataoka.
In the first inning, the Seidou High School baseball team started with a bases loaded home run.
A total of seven points.
After that, even Minister Ohta couldn't stand it anymore and advised everyone to be kind and just focus on winning.
According to his thinking, since they were leading by 7 points in the first inning, why couldn't they score three points in the remaining 4 innings?
5 valid games are already a foregone conclusion.
In this case, there is no need to beat the man when he is down.
In that case, even if you win, it won't be a glorious thing.
If it is the main force, then you will listen to this.
But the players who played were basically substitutes. They finally got the chance to play. Would they listen to such nonsense?
In the end, Zhang Han showed mercy and only got one hit and two RBIs.
Others don’t even know what showing mercy means?
This includes Dong Qingguo, who hit three home runs and drove in seven runs.
It's so bullying!
Second game, 5 points!
The third game, 3 points!
The fourth game, 6 points!
Seidou was attacking from behind, and with such a big lead, they had no chance to attack in the fifth game.
The final score was 21:1.
The substitutes of Seidou High School baseball team defeated their opponents in the third round in a crushing manner.
Among them, relief pitcher Danbo pitched five innings, gave up four hits and one run.
Although the performance is not excellent, it has barely reached a satisfactory level.
It did not bring shame to the Seidou High School baseball team.
"21:1, Seidou High School baseball team won the final victory. Successfully advanced to the top 16 in West Tokyo!"
