Chapter 38: Zhang Han and Tojo
No one was out, there was someone at first base!
The Laosheng team launched a crazy attack and Tojo was caught off guard.
Tojo, in his conscience, thinks that he has invested well.
Because I stayed with Zhang Han every day, Tojo was actually very clear that his strength was probably much worse than his seniors.
Although he is the title of national runner-up pitcher, Tojo does not have much demand for his appearance this time.
No matter how many innings does Kaoka let him make? As long as he keeps the points lost within two points per inning, it should be enough to receive attention from the supervisor and coaching staff.
Originally, Tojo set a goal for himself to be one point per game.
But now the opponent has been replaced by seniors like Zhang Han and Chris, one point per game. Tojo thinks that he is too overestimating himself.
Instead of forcing yourself to do things you can't do, it's better to shoot every goal down-to-earth.
As long as you shoot the ball well, the results should be gratifying.
Because I stayed in the same dormitory with Zhang Han, Tojo could better understand the huge gap in strength between himself and his seniors.
In other words, before playing in today's game, Tojo was mentally prepared, but the difficulties he faced were still much more difficult than he thought.
The third-year senior who just started the field was not very eye-catching among the players of the Second Army.
Tojo doesn't even know the senior's name.
But the senior gave him a completely different experience when he really stood on the court.
Accurate vision and solid strike strength.
It seems that no matter what ball it is, as long as the ball is pitched into the good belt, the senior can play it solidly.
Even Tojo never experienced this kind of pressure when he participated in the national competition before.
This is the strength of the second army players of the Seido High School baseball team!
You know, the senior who was just now had a very long distance away from the army.
Although he got the chance to play, everyone knew in their hearts that there were only two or three people who could advance to the first army with the real strength.
The other players are all running with them.
The third-year senior who just played on the court was one of the runners.
But even he showed a solid baseball foundation.
What kind of strength will they burst out when those players who have the hope of advancing to the first army come on the field?
There are also seniors, seniors in the palace, seniors Chris...
What terrifying strength will these seniors who have been in the first army have erupted?
And Hansang!
Whenever I think of Zhang Han, Tojo's heart will be pounding.
The relationship between the two people has already begun since Tojo became the pitcher of Matsukabayashi.
In terms of attack, Senior Zhang Han was even better.
But when it comes to pitching, Tojo never thinks his strength is inferior to Senior Zhang Han.
Overall, the two fought to the point.
Tojo originally chose to join the Seidou High School baseball team. On the one hand, the school offered sufficient conditions, and on the other hand, he also hoped to continue moving forward along Zhang Han's path.
He hopes that the team is equal, not only in Matsubashi, but also in Seidou High School baseball team.
One day, I can also compare myself with senior Zhang Han in Seiduo High School.
Then, I should have reached a very high peak at that time, right?
I glanced at the third-year senior who was in first base. As expected, the senior was eager to try to prepare for the stolen base.
He is very far from the base bag.
The fighting spirit of third-year seniors is not comparable to those of them, who have just joined the team.
They are already in the third grade and have no way out. If they cannot go further now, their high school baseball career can basically come to an end here.
In this case, the seniors in the third grade naturally performed very hard.
After understanding the ideas of the third-year seniors, it is no wonder that Tojo's performance towards the seniors.
He let out a long breath and prepared to pitch.
Just as he pitched, the first base runner moved directly.
"Stack the base directly?"
The friends in the freshman's rest area were all very surprised.
On the baseball field, stealing a base is not that easy to succeed.
All successful thieves are based on the runner's confidence and precise analysis.
But now the competition has just begun, and the seniors probably don’t know much about Tojo’s strength.
Where did they get their confidence? In this case, they dare to rob the base rashly.
You should know that a calculation error may give out an outgoing number in vain.
"It's really good!"
In the rest area of the old student.
Chris' face was filled with an admiration.
"Even if everyone has the strength of the freshmen who just gathered together, they only have one week to train together. The time is too short and they cannot form perfect cooperation at all, and there is no possibility of too much tacit understanding among the players."
The third-year thief who stole the escort caught this point, so he started to act without any hesitation.
When I saw the runner stealing the base directly, I was shocked.
Tojo, who originally planned to use the change ball, changed the straight ball directly.
If Tojo uses a change ball, he is not a good catcher to cooperate with him, and it is very likely that he will miss the match. There will be a mistake at this time, and the result will be self-evident.
And this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is time.
The third-year senior was placed in the first position and his speed was much faster than that of ordinary players.
Although it is not as good as Kurashita, it runs faster and faster.
Tojo Hideaki had a premonition that they didn't even have a chance to pass the second base with the use of the change ball.
So he made a quick decision to change it to a straight ball.
But it is precisely because of this change that the freshmen are trapped in a great passive manner.
The second hitter of Lao Sheng’s team is a strong hitter in the second grade, named Yamaguchi.
When he saw the baseball flying over, he had a hideous smile on his face.
"I'm waiting for you!"
This is a straight ball.
Starting from the third-year senior, the baseball flying in was destined to be a straight ball.
So Yamaguchi doesn't need to think about anything at all, just shoot directly at the straight ball.
"Table!"
Unlike the first stick, Yamaguchi swung the baton directly, and he beat the baseball very accurately.
Yamaguchi, who hit the ball, threw the ball bat, and ran to first base desperately.
The baseball rebounded, and the third-year senior who was originally at first base directly crossed the second base and ran to the third base.
The situation becomes that no one is out, and there are people at one and three bases.
Tojo, who has great ambitions, suffered a brutal blow from the beginning.
The second army players who came on the field were carefully selected and stayed in the team.
Each of them has outstanding strength.
More importantly, their cooperation can be regarded as seamless compared to the freshmen.
After playing together for more than a year, they are obviously not comparable to those of freshmen, a team that has just been running-in for a week.
