Chapter 7: The Noble Son of the Stadium (2nd Update)
"Boy of the Truth!"
Seeing Kuramochi running all the way to second base, Supervisor Tahara's face completely changed.
He stared at his trump card, his eyes full of encouragement.
He believes that his trump card will be able to survive.
Manaka also felt the gaze of his own superintendent, and he kept holding his breath in his heart. I missed the goal just now......
Ever since he came back to Koshien, no matter what game he played, he would have the time of pitching on the Koshien court in his mind at first.
It's such a feeling, it's so fascinating!
Manaka encouraged himself over and over again, and he must go.
It was precisely because of this distraction that his pitching was out of control.
No!
It can't go on like this.
Shaking his head, Manaka threw aside those precious memory fragments in his mind for the time being.
Basking in past glory does not provide any help to his pitching, but may limit his pitching.
His current enemy is the Seido High School baseball team.
Only by setting this mentality correctly can he give full play to his strength.
"Whoosh!"
Manaka, who started pitching again, and he who just threw the first shot, have already been judged as two.
The ball is fast and the ball is controlled accurately.
Even Ryosuke Kominato, who has excellent striking skills, is a little at a loss in the face of this kind of ball.
He could only try to calm down and feel the changes in baseball.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Manaka, who fully played his pitching characteristics, chased Ryosuke Kominato after only two balls.
Then he threw his third ball.
Facing the beaters of the Seido High School baseball team, Manaka's fighting spirit is very high.
He didn't think about it and used his own tiebreaker directly. The baseball was shot straight to a low angle!
Seeing this ball flying towards Ryosuke Kominato, his heart was extremely shocked.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of this game, he took out the means of victory.
Straight or Slippery?
This kind of low-angle ball cannot be hit by a parallel swing, and it must be played with a downward fishing style.
That is, the bat is at an angle that is vertical.
Since it is an angle, it can only aim at one point. If you aim for a straight ball and you end up hitting a slippery ball, it's a deadly situation.
The same is true for aiming for a slider to hit a straight ball.
This is one of the three giants of West Tokyo, and the city's third-highest ace pitcher is really the decisive goal.
In the spring tournament, this kind of ball took out many strong sticks in the country and became famous.
If it weren't for the bad luck of the third high school of the city university, he met the champion candidate in the eight-in-four competition.
In the state of Zhenzhong at that time, they may not be able to go further. If the three high schools of the city university at that time went further, it would be the top four. There is even a certain probability of reaching the finals and meeting with Daocheng Industry.
Manaka's pitching is nationally recognized.
In the face of this opponent, even Ryosuke Kominato, he was scratching his head.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and choose one of them.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong one.
As a result, bats and baseballs staggered, and neither was able to touch the other.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
"Strikeout!!"
After Kuramochi hit base, the probability of Seido High School's baseball team scoring was greatly improved. In contrast, the three high schools of the city are in crisis.
In this case, the ace of the city's three high schools stood up, and the strong strikeout knocked out the second stick of the Qingdao Road, Kominato Ryosuke.
One is out, and there is someone on second base.
At the beginning of the fight, the two sides went back and forth, and it was a reluctant draw.
"Qingdao!!"
"Zhang Han !!"
"Hanmulberry !!!"
Before Zhang Han could stand in the strike zone, a huge cheer broke out in the stands.
So much so that the contestants in the third high school of the city university were confused.
What happened?
Soon, they knew.
Because the man who was in the spotlight, after the second stick was dealt with, stood in the strike zone.
Zhang Han!
Zhang Han was originally the core player of the Seido High School baseball team, and when he entered Koshien last summer, he was already on a par with Dongqingguo and Yuuki.
In addition to this, he also broke two Koshien records and was known as a super newcomer......
No matter which of Zhang Han's achievements is taken out, no one dares to underestimate Zhang Han's existence.
Not to mention, in the last two games, Zhang Han has been even more like a hanger, almost never missed a hit, and even won four home runs.
Playing against such a person is not careless by the players who are the third highest in the city.
Xingtian, who was at third base, had his ears filled with the voice of shouting Zhang Han. When I was in middle school, because everyone was young, Zhang Han was just cute in the eyes of many people.
It didn't make much of a splash in the team.
But now the situation is clearly different. Zhang Han, who is more than fifteen years old, has completely taken off the immaturity of a child and grown into a noble son.
Although with the conditions of his family, it is difficult to be called a noble son. But when people see Zhang Han's first impression, they can't help but think so.
Listening to the screams of these girls in his ears, Xingtian couldn't stand it.
Han Sang, as the coach said, began to burst into light!
As early as two years ago, Ono Binzhi predicted that Zhang Han would definitely cause a huge sensation in the future!
At that time, Xingtian and they didn't believe it very much, although Hansang's strength was indeed good, but it was not to the extent of crushing them.
How can it make a splash?
Now it seems that Ono Binzhi was still prescient. After experiencing the baptism of the Qingdao High School baseball team, Senior Zhang Han has indeed been reborn.
Now he is really enough to cause a sensation!
Xingtian is worried about his trump card, in the face of such a Zhang Han, how will he fight and how to solve it?
If you let Manaka know that his junior is so worried about him, he will definitely be very moved.
But at the same time, he will tell his junior, you think too much!
Facing Zhang Han, remembering the home run hit by Zhang Han in the last matchup, Zhenzhong's heart burned with fighting spirit.
All in all, they really haven't fought each other in a long time.
Almost ten months!
Today's Zhenzhong has made significant progress compared to ten months ago.
He was now desperate to retrieve what he had lost from Zhang Han.
"Whoosh!"
The first ball flew almost against the ground.
So low!
Seeing the baseball flying in, Zhang Han grabbed the bat in his hand and looked for an opportunity.
But throughout, he didn't feel any chances from that ball. He couldn't even tell whether the opponent was throwing a straight ball or a slippery ball.
Compared to Machu ten months ago, the pitching of Manaka is really different now.
Even Zhang Han couldn't shoot the first ball, so he could only watch the baseball fly in front of his eyes.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!!"
