Chapter Seventy-Four: A New Ball of Change (Part 1)
One is out, and there is someone on second base.
It was the turn of the strike, the fourth batter of the Qingdao High School baseball team in this game, Zhang Han.
The current Zhang Han is undoubtedly the most important player in the Qingdao High School baseball team. Not only is he responsible for pitching, but he is also the team's fourth batter.
His performance will not only affect the momentum of the Qingdao High School baseball team, but may even directly affect the result of today's game.
In the stands, the supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team, as well as the young ladies who came to cheer for Zhang Han, burst out with their greatest enthusiasm at this time. They shouted the loudest volume and made the most exaggerated moves, just to cheer for Zhang Han.
In the rest area of the two teams, the sound of cheering is also endless.
It seems as if both teams have already bet on the outcome of the matchup.
But the two sides of the duel were too focused at this time, and they didn't notice these cheering voices at all.
Zhang Han stared at Cheng Gongming in the pitcher mound, and Cheng Gongming was also staring at Zhang Han.
Almost everyone related to Qingdao firmly believes that Zhang Han should be able to hit the ball this time.
He'd hit twice before, once for a well-timed hit, and once for a home run.
This kind of performance makes people subconsciously think that it seems to be very easy for Zhang Han to hit Cheng Gongming's ball.
Only Zhang Han himself is not as sure as people think.
The first duel between the two, Cheng Gongming's low-angle triple balls had already been seen through by Zhang Han.
The second time, Narumu Cheng didn't give up, and tried it again with a low-angle triple ball.
Zhang Han's answer sheet is naturally more perfect, which is also an important reason why he was able to win the home run.
Now that the two sides are fighting for the third time, no matter how unwilling Cheng Gongming was before, he already understands it.
Using a low-angle triple ball to deal with Zhang Han is not too realistic at all.
So this guy will definitely change the routine.
Once Cheng Gongming changes his routine, the three consecutive balls that Zhang Han saw through before will not have much meaning.
The two sides are tantamount to standing on the same starting line again.
Zhang Han is naturally not as sure as before.
Although he was not as sure as before, Zhang Han had no intention of putting the ball over.
As the fourth baseman of the Qingdao High School baseball team, even if it is only temporary, Zhang Han hopes to respond to the expectations of the supervisor and his teammates.
So he raised his bat high and stared at his opponent with unblinking eyes.
As long as the baseball flies over, he will never give up.
In the position of the catcher, Harada Masako subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
After becoming the main catcher of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, he has never been so nervous as he is now.
He has never seen such an excellent throwing duel as Zhang Han and Cheng Gongming.
As a top star player in Tokyo and even in the country, Masako Harada is also arrogant in his heart, and he doesn't take ordinary well-known players too seriously.
Even Yuki and Ohmae, he didn't think those two guys would be able to significantly surpass him?
For so many years, what really made Harada feel that he was about to fall behind were the two guys in front of him.
Cheng Gong Ming and Zhang Han!
The duel between the two of them, Harada himself was very excited to watch.
He couldn't even wait to know the outcome of the duel between the two.
If Harada is an ordinary fan, it is understandable that he has such thoughts. But now he is the catcher of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, and this kind of thinking is too undeserved!
Zhang Han is now not only Cheng Gongming's opponent, but also his enemy, and he must help Ah Ming to eliminate this most threatening enemy.
Harada forcefully swung his gloves to the inner corner.
As a mature player, he quickly made himself aware of the situation in front of him and acted decisively.
Harada's strong guidance also enhanced Narumiya's confidence to a certain extent, and I saw him pull out of the posture and throw the baseball in his hand with all his might.
"Whoosh!"
In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team.
When the friends saw this ball, their brows furrowed in unison.
This guy has changed his routine again?
If you want to say that the audience puts down the dishes, Cheng Gongming is undoubtedly a person who has played to the extreme.
Previously, he had also used a low-angle triple shot against Zhang Han, Yuuki, and two opponents he considered a threat.
When dealing with other people, it is basically a straight ball, occasionally mixed with two change balls.
This kind of practice is used to deal with the Qingdao High School baseball team, which can be called the first line in the country, and it cannot but be said to be very rampant.
But people are so rampant that they are justifiably arrogant.
In fact, the Qingdao High School baseball team has so far, except for Zhang Han and Yuuki, no one has really played Cheng Gongming's ball at all.
Qingdao Road, which is known as the country's first line, except for Zhang Han and Yuuki, the other beaters are just like jokes.
Until now, no one else has been able to tackle a low-angle triple shot.
In fact, as far as the players of the Seido High School baseball team are concerned, I feel about myself.
Even by the end of the game, not many of them had the confidence to hit the ball.
It is more likely that until the end of the game, they will have no choice but to surrender to this kind of ball.
Now when Cheng Gongming was dealing with Zhang Han, he actually adjusted his pitching routine again.
In other words, for them, it is comparable to Mount Everest, a mountain that is difficult to climb in a lifetime.
It's not Narumiya's top pitching method.
He also has other pitching routines of the same level or even higher.
This cognition is an absolute nightmare for Qingdao High School baseball for the vast majority of friends.
But Zhang Han had already expected it.
The triple ball that Uehara just showed before, Narumiya happened to be the same kind of ball that he also honed.
What is the probability of this?
Yes, and very little.
It's more likely that Narumiya learned it temporarily after watching Uehara's pitching.
Of course, being able to master it so quickly is inseparable from Cheng Gong Ming's own extremely amazing talent, and he happens to be able to play a similar ball.
If Zhang Han's guess is true, then it also means that Cheng Gongming has other killer features in addition to the low-angle triple ball he just showed.
That killer feature is what he specially prepared for the Qingdao High School baseball team, and he has prepared a gift for a long time.
As Zhang Han expected, Cheng Gongming showed this killer feature at the beginning of the duel with him.
The baseball went straight into the inside corner, fast and urgent.
Zhang Han saw the flying baseball and waved his bat decisively.
The ball that has gone into the good ball belt and he doesn't want to miss it. And without knowing that Narumiya Naruto is hiding a killer feature, he misses the good ball, and there will only be more troublesome balls waiting for him later.
Zhang Han didn't want to wait until that time to worry.
"Ping!"
The bat hit the baseball, and Zhang Han's face became extremely ugly.
As the baseball approached his eyes, there was a slight change, a change he hadn't noticed before.
The baseball that was hit and landed outside the touchline.
"Out of bounds!"
Zhang Han's eyes were complicated to stare at Cheng Gongming, who was casual on the pitcher's mound.
Before, he thought that he already knew this opponent well.
Now Zhang Han suddenly realized that it was just what he thought. In fact, he never really understood the biggest obstacle to the Qingdao High School baseball team.
in the lounge area.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team looked at each other. They also had a premonition of a crisis, a big, big crisis.
"New Change Ball?"
Kurachi's voice was much sharper than before.
"At this time!"
The other friends are not much better.
Judging from Zhang Han's hitting results, there should be a slight change in baseball in the process of entering the good ball belt.
"Float or ball?"
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team can't be sure, so they can only wait for Zhang Han's blow to end before they discuss.
But no matter which one it is, it is very fatal bad news for the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
