Chapter 21: The Legendary Zhang Han (1st Update)
In the bottom half of the fifth inning, the Yakushi High School baseball team attacked.
The score on the field was 5:2, and the Seido High School baseball team trailed the opponent by a full three. Sawamura, who is in charge of pitching, has a very big problem with the state of the whole person.
He was out of breath and stood on the pitcher's mound, staring at the opponent in front of him.
In the pharmacist high school baseball team, the unknown ninth baseman.
Sawamura had faced this player once before, and at that time, Sawamura successfully deflected the opponent off the ball almost effortlessly.
He was able to get out of the tournament without a hitch.
Now that he has met this beater for the second time, Sawamura feels powerless.
"Don't worry, let him call, we'll stop it."
"It's the same as the last game, one ball at a time."
On the court, the Qingdao players in charge of guarding cheered for Sawamura Eijun loudly.
Sawamura knew in his heart that these seniors were sincere, and his previous performance had won the recognition of his seniors.
If it was possible, he really didn't want to end up so embarrassed, he still wanted to continue, and he wanted to continue to show his presence in front of the seniors.
But I'm afraid not......
He's so tired!
Sawamura had never felt like this before, and after only four or five innings, his whole body felt like he was about to fall apart.
The tiredness that had accumulated over the past week or so suddenly came to him, and he now felt strained to even lift his arm.
Turning his head, he looked at the seniors standing behind him, one by one, they were still alive, and there was no sense of fatigue in them.
This intense practice game, hit here, is already halfway through.
Even if you don't take into account the hellish more than a week of squeezing, the physical strength consumed by the players in this competition alone is an astronomical amount.
Even if they are not like themselves, they can't even move when they are tired.
At the very least, it should be a little tired, right?
But no, not at all.
Qingdao High School baseball against those second- and third-year players, one by one, are still alive, and their eyes are full of bright light.
They are hungry to play and they are very unhappy with the result on the pitch now.
Five to two, three points behind......
This is something that the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team can't accept anyway.
In the rest of the game, they must win it back.
Sawamura, who had already exhausted his physical strength, bit his lower lip tightly after hearing the encouragement of his seniors.
He couldn't just give up.
finally got to this point, and finally joined the first army of the Qingdao High School baseball team, and finally practiced with Yu Xing and Zhang Han......
He doesn't want to end up like this!
"Whoosh!"
With all the strength left in his body, Sawamura Eijun gritted his teeth and threw the baseball in his hand.
Although the speed of baseball is not fast, it still retains a few points of its previous style.
The ninth baseman of the Yakushi High School baseball team was also very nervous when he saw this ball.
Unlike the first first year of Seido to play, this guy named Eijun Sawamura is surprisingly difficult to deal with.
The players of the pharmacist high school baseball team also used all their skills, and as a result, they only scored two points from this guy in five games.
Such an opponent cannot be careless.
Fortunately, his physical strength doesn't seem to be good, and the continuous high-intensity duels have made him sweat.
After his physical exhaustion, his pitching level has also decreased to a great extent.
It's like now, he doesn't look that much of a threat with this ball.
Seeing the flying baseball, the hitter stepped out and swung the bat in his hand with all his might.
"Ping!"
The baseball that was hit flew over the shortstop's head.
Kuramochi jumped up with all his might, but still couldn't touch the baseball, and finally could only watch as the baseball flew over his head and landed in the field.
The ninth baseman of the Yakushi High School baseball team also took this opportunity to run to first base smoothly.
"Security"
No one is out, there are people on first base...
In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, almost all the friends felt that their hearts were being pinched.
Now, it's troublesome.
The Yakushi High School baseball team deliberately adjusted the lineup of its own team in order to deal with Qingdao.
Their first batter was Thunder City, known as the monster newcomer.
This guy had previously scored two home runs in the course of a duel with two first-year rookie pitchers on the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Helped the pharmacist high school baseball team and built a leading foundation.
If it were possible, the Qingdao High School baseball team was really reluctant to play against this guy when there were people on the baseball.
It's too dangerous!
It's not good to get two points in the account.
The score gap between the two sides was widened to five points.
Although the offensive strength of the Seido High School baseball team can be called the first in the country. But the pharmacist high school baseball team is not a dry meal.
Sanada, the ace of their team, is very good at pitching.
So far, the Qingdao High School baseball team has only scored a mere two points in the hands of this guy. These two points also include a home run by Zhang Han.
Even the players of the Seido High School baseball team have a lot of trust in the offensive strength of their own team.
They believe that in the second half of the game, the team will still be able to score, and not one or two points.
But if the score gap between the two sides widens to more than five points, then even if the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team work hard, the probability of being able to reverse in the end is probably not large.
After all, the opponent is not bad.
The players were hesitant and entangled.
On the other side, the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team seemed to usher in the climax of the game.
Don't look at the fact that since the beginning of the game, they have firmly grasped the initiative of the game, and now they are three points ahead of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
But in the Yakushi High School baseball team, no one has a solid heart.
It was easy for them to understand the intentions of the Seido High School baseball team, and the other party was using them as a whetstone.
In this case, of course, they tried everything they could to break through the defense of the Qingdao High School baseball team as soon as possible, and let them know that the whetstone was not so easy to find.
It's easy to sharpen your own knife if you don't do it.
However, the game has been going on until now, although they have used their best skills, the scores of both sides, but they have not really pulled away.
Qingdao, the first-year newcomer, was like a huge roadblock, standing in front of them.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and finally made them wait......
They have already seen the dawn of victory.
Regardless of what the Seido High School baseball team had been playing before? Today's victory, they took it first.
Sawamura, who used his last bit of strength, originally thought that he could solve the beater.
Even if this is the last one, he will die.
Unexpectedly, he was hit by a hit.
The children are very unwilling and struggle to do something.
As a result, he had just taken a step forward when he stumbled and almost fell.
"I'm afraid, that's the end of it."
In the rest area of the Yakushi High School baseball team, Bang Lei Zang was a little unwilling.
They have already designed everything, and they are about to win two points.
If you can score two points cleanly here, then the Yakushi High School baseball team can basically be regarded as a safe victory.
Even if the opponent is the Seido High School baseball team, even if the opponent is the No. 1 team in the country.
With only four innings left in the game, he also didn't believe that the Seido High School baseball team would be able to catch up with a five-point gap.
I didn't expect it to be one step short.
Next, it depends on how the Qingdao High School baseball team is arranged?
If they can continue to develop new talents, Boom Lei Zang doesn't mind letting the team maintain this rhythm and win this game smoothly.
This was originally the reason why he led his disciples to play practice games on the Qingdao High School baseball team.
But it is clear that this wish of his is difficult to achieve.
With two talented first-year pitchers, the Qingdao High School baseball team is already very lucky.
With a pitcher of this potential, the Seido High School baseball team can't have a third one anyway.
If so, in two years, which team will be able to compete with the Qingdao High School baseball team?
The king of the three top pitchers is the end of the delivery.
In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team.
Minister Ota was the first to jump up, "Hurry up and ......"
He called the school doctor and went to check on Sawamura's condition.
There is nothing wrong with that.
He was just so tired that he was dragged back to the rest area and lay down.
He looked extremely embarrassed, and he was down when it was Thunder City's turn to strike.
It feels like it's a little bit not too strong.
Watching this scene, he pinched the mustache on his chin and set his eyes on Sawamura's body more than once.
Just finished such a workout, the Qingdao players, the physical reserves have long been depleted to the limit.
In this case, in the game against the Yakushi High School baseball team, he actually threw nearly 5 innings.
This guy's physical strength has long exceeded the level that a first-year player should have.
I'm afraid that even compared with some second-year players, it is not necessarily much behind.
And that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this little guy only lost two points.
You must know that the offensive strength of the Yakushi High School baseball team is also very scary. Under the leadership of the three first-year players in Thunder City, the pharmacist high school baseball team, which was originally good at hitting strength, is equivalent to raising two whole steps.
Today's level of their strength is definitely far beyond people's imagination.
It's such a group of guys, who were forcibly stopped by Sawamura.
Maybe it's not obvious yet, but in the near future, this little guy who doesn't seem like a big deal will definitely be a blockbuster.
Another thing that can be seen clearly is the opponent of the Seido High School baseball team in today's game, the superintendent of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
Thunder Zang frowned and looked at the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team.
"It's a rising star again."
Although Sawamura's talent is different from that of Akira Tsukitani, it can even be said that they are two opposite extremes.
But his future achievements may not be inferior to that young man named Gu Xiao.
"Overseer, I ......"
Sawamura, who was lying on a chair, was told by the doctor to have a good rest.
Sawamura was unwilling to face Kataoka, and tears hung down. Despite the exhaustion of his body, it was difficult for him to even move.
But he was still unwilling, and he still wanted to continue to stand on the court, stand on the pitcher's mound, and fight side by side with his friends.
"Well done! Let's rest well, and leave the rest of the game to them. ”
Kataoka said.
Sawamura's request was unspoken.
He really wanted to keep pitching, but he knew in his heart that his body had long since allowed it.
Only then did he stop talking.
Superintendent Kataoka apparently saw through this.
The game continues.
Sawamura is off the field, and the previous practice goals of the Seido High School baseball team have been completed.
One of the most important reasons why Superintendent Kataoka accepted the invitation was that he hoped that by playing against the Yakushi High School baseball team, he could take a good look at the current limits of Akira Shibuyani and Sawamura.
The performance of Xiaogu is very average.
Although there are various objective reasons for this, such as the pharmacist high school baseball team does not play cards according to common sense.
Xiaogu had just come on the field, and before he was familiar with the court, he ran into Thunder City first.
But in the end, he was hit a home run, and in the first inning, he lost three points.
In this assessment, Gu Xiao will definitely fail.
On the contrary, it was Sawamura, and his performance on the pitcher's mound was very unexpected.
Even his own friends in the Qingdao High School baseball team didn't expect that guy to be so capable on the court.
Although he fell to the ground in the end due to physical exhaustion, the impression that Sawamura left on Kataoka Supervisor was very good.
"The goal of the game has changed, so let's go all out and win this game."
Superintendent Kataoka held a meeting with all the players and re-established their new goals for today's match.
"Whew!!"
For the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, they have been looking forward to this moment for too long.
They have long been impatient.
"Hakushu, you're here as the new outfielder. Throw the ball to Zhang Han. ”
Seido High School baseball team substitution.
Seeing Zhang Han standing on the pitcher's mound, he began to do warm-up movements.
In the rest area of the Yakushi High School baseball team, everyone's eyes were on the handsome guy on the pitcher's mound.
That person is so dazzling.
When Zhang Han was in the field before, they really never realized that the outfielders of the Qingdao High School baseball team could naturally become the focus of the entire court.
It's too mysterious.
"That person is the legendary Zhang Han!"
Some players not only sighed.
"Are you living in a dream? Didn't that guy just hit a home run before? ”
The legendary Zhang Han.
Although the players of the pharmacist high school baseball team are not the first time they have dealt with Zhang Han.
As far as today's game is concerned, they have just been hit by Zhang Han before.
For such a player, even if they don't communicate a lot, it should be remembered vividly.
But this is not the case.
Their impression of Zhang Han was also very deep before, but that kind of profundity was only in terms of blows.
Sanada's prestige on the Yakushi High School baseball team is very high, and all the players on the Yakushi High School baseball team admire his pitching very much.
Even Thunder City, which they regarded as a monster, was a little inferior in the process of fighting him.
He was able to solve three or four of the ten official encounters.
But this is Sanada, in the process of fighting Zhang Han, he was cleanly knocked out of the home run. It's impossible for the players on the Yakushi High School baseball team not to be shocked.
But this kind of shock is still completely different from the shock after Zhang Han stood on the pitcher's hill.
At that time, Zhang Han was just as powerful as a monster.
Although he is strong, the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team are not to be outdone.
They firmly believe that Thunder City will not lose to Zhang Han.
With the support of this belief, the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team did not show weakness when they fought hard against the players of the Seido High School baseball team.
It's just that all of this, as Zhang Han stood on the pitcher's hill, everything changed.
Zhang Han, who was standing on the strike zone, looked like a monster.
But Zhang Han, who is standing on the pitcher's hill, looks different, he is like a real protagonist.
It was as if the moment he stood on the pitcher's mound, the outcome of the game was already sealed, and the script for the game had already been written.
This feeling is deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone at the scene.
It was also in this situation that someone said the words "the legendary Zhang Han" in the rest area of the pharmacist high school baseball team.
The legendary Zhang Han, the creator of miracles, is synonymous with invincibility.
In the spring tournament, although the difference in scores between the two teams was not that big, it was in the course of the game between the Yakushi High School baseball team and the Seido High School baseball team. The players of the Yakushi High School baseball team never got much of a chance.
They were crushed by the Seido High School baseball team, and they barely had any power to fight back.
A large part of the reason for this is because of Zhang Han's existence.
It was also from that time that the Yakushi High School baseball team thought about revenge.
After two months of salary, they believe that their current strength is definitely not inferior to the Qingdao High School baseball team.
Especially the strength of the core players.
No one is out, there is someone on first base.
Zhang Han vs Thunder City.
Shortly after the start of the second half of the fifth inning, Sawamura went down due to physical exhaustion.
This also created one of the biggest climaxes of this game.
The strongest players of the two teams finally met together.
They will use the most direct way to start a wonderful duel.
Thunder City clutched the bat in his hand tightly, and greedily looked at Zhang Han, who was about to throw the ball on the other side.
"Whoosh, it's flying!"
Thinking of their previous duel, the small flame in Thunder City's heart has never been extinguished.
He can't wait to play Sawamura, and he wants to see how far the fastest ball speed in the country has evolved?
