Diamond No Ace: The Strongest Hitter Has Arrived
Chapter 672 - 672: Zhang Han's Gift
In the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team's dugout, all the players' eyes were wide, staring in disbelief at the match on the field.
Although they generally had more confidence in their own players.
However, if the opponent was Zhang Han, the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team players understood that their chances of getting a hit were probably not very high.
So, initially, the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team players didn't have much expectation for their Seventh Batter to get a hit.
But the perfectly centered pitch that appeared at the end instantly ignited the passion in the hearts of all the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team players.
When luck comes, you can't stop it.
With Zhang Han's incredibly fast pitch speed and off-target Fastballs, their chances of hitting them out were indeed not very high.
But if it was a perfectly centered Fastball, their Seventh Batter had previously made contact with the ball during practice with the team.
Although that was when the pitching machine was pitching.
But that was a genuine 155 km/h pitch speed.
However, upon seeing the perfectly centered Fastball appear, the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team players still got excited; what if a blind cat stumbled upon a dead mouse?
They currently had a runner on Second Base.
This meant that as long as a hit occurred, they would be able to score the leading second run.
There was another very important reason why the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team players were so excited.
That was because even if the batter couldn't hit the ball out, or if the ball was hit out and then stopped by a Seido High School Baseball Team player.
For their Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team, there were only benefits and no drawbacks.
After all, they originally didn't have too many expectations for a hit.
At this point, just making contact with the ball was enough to give the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team players and supporters a certain degree of encouragement.
Without exaggeration, the current situation was like a pie falling from the sky for the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team's teammates.
They excitedly raised their hands, one by one, and began to cheer.
Because in their view, they could accept the worst outcome.
As long as it wasn't the worst outcome, all other outcomes were better.
But as things progressed, the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team players realized.
They were still too naive.
This world truly has worse outcomes.
As mentioned before, their Seventh Batter was also very skilled.
This was not only an evaluation given by outsiders but also acknowledged by the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team's own players.
But just now, this third-year senior, when hitting Zhang Han's pitch, swung his bat so late?
Zhang Han's baseball had already flown over home plate, and his bat was only halfway through its swing.
How could he hit it like that?
In the stands, Zhang Han's personal fans, as well as the Seido High School Baseball Team's supporters.
All stood up excitedly, cheering and celebrating.
"The score on the field is 4:3, with the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team currently leading by one run. To be honest, among the many games I've commentated, today's game is definitely the most spectacular."
The commentator was from Tokyo, and he liked to exaggerate when hosting programs.
"First, the Seido High School Baseball Team's rookie pitcher got three strikeouts, and Narumiya Mei retaliated in kind. Later, after the rookie left, Tanba came on, and Tanba also had a similar start, just without getting as many strikeouts. Now Tanba has also been outmaneuvered by the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team players. But it doesn't matter, Seido High School Baseball still has their true Ace, Zhang Han.
After Zhang Han came on, facing the core sluggers of the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team, he also started with three strikeouts.
People's attention might be focused on the players' scoring, so they don't see other things so clearly."
"But in fact, besides the exciting hitting showdowns, today's pitcher's duel was also full of highlights. Earlier, Narumiya Mei successively eliminated two Seido High School Baseball Team pitchers and, along with his teammates, secured a scoring lead. In this situation, it was not impossible for the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team to win the game outright in one fell swoop."
Although this hitting did not create too large a score difference, it was a fatal blow to the opponent's morale.
Before Zhang Han came on, even though the Seido High School Baseball Team was only one run behind the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team.
Their situation, however, was very dangerous.
To put it bluntly, it was not impossible for Seido to collapse all at once.
Just then, Zhang Han came on to pitch.
He not only successfully got three strikeouts, helping the Seido High School Baseball Team successfully overcome the crisis.
At the last moment, he even used a perfectly centered Fastball to take out one of their sluggers.
This was a blatant display of force, as if he was provoking the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team's batters with his actions.
Their scoring ends here.
This was Zhang Han, the true Ace of the Seido High School Baseball Team, standing on the pitcher's mound, giving his return gift to the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team.
It was also a super luxurious gift package he gave to all the Seido High School Baseball Team's supporters.
Whether the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team appreciated it? That couldn't be seen at this moment.
But the Seido High School Baseball Team's supporters, as well as Zhang Han's fans, had clearly realized the preciousness of this gift.
They were very satisfied with this gift.
They excitedly raised their hands and swayed in the stands.
Seido High School's orchestra also began to pick up their instruments and play their cheering song.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Seido High School Baseball Team was hitting.
By this point in the game, not only was time running out for the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team, but time was also running out for the Seido High School Baseball Team to tie the score, or even take the lead.
Don't look at how the Seido High School Baseball Team had scored three runs earlier.
And for a long time, they had suppressed the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team.
They held the initiative on the field.
But in fact, throughout the previous five innings, the Seido High School Baseball Team had only managed to get four effective base runners.
The reason they were able to score a full three runs was not because Seido got many hits, but simply because their ability to convert to runs was too strong.
Currently, Seido's batters were only on their third round.
The first to step into the batter's box was their team's Second Batter.
Second Baseman, Kominato Ryosuke.
