Chapter 581 - Three Points

"Did anyone have a speed gun just now?"

"There were plenty of speed guns, but no one expected it~"

"What was the speed of that ball just now?"

Zhang Han's throw came too suddenly. By the time people reacted and pulled out their speed guns, the throw was already over.

As a result, they didn't even see what the ball's speed was.

"That was scary!"

Sawamura himself was startled.

Kominato Haruichi, who was beside him, also felt it was incredible.

"What kind of fate do you have? Ace Tanba, second-year Zhang Han, and same-year Furuya Satoru. No matter which one, they all look like natural pitchers. Your talent is good, but to become an Ace in this baseball team…"

"I will definitely become the Ace!"

Sawamura's shock was only momentary. He quickly recovered and said with a determined expression.

Betraying his hometown friends and leaving his family, wasn't he just trying to walk the path of an Ace?

If he couldn't prove himself at this school, then what was the meaning of him coming here?

At this time, Sawamura didn't have much sense of belonging to the Seido High School Baseball Team. He was more focused on getting an opportunity to quickly prove his worth.

Beyond that, he hadn't considered anything else.

On the field, the Shonan Gakuen players were also startled by Zhang Han's throw.

They had been very interested in Zhang Han before, but now it was more than just interest; they looked at Zhang Han as if he were a monster.

As star players of the same age, they had all achieved success during their junior high school days.

They had either directly interacted with Zhang Han or heard his name.

They were relatively familiar with him.

It could even be said that some of them had witnessed Zhang Han's entire growth process.

But without any warning, Zhang Han seemed to have suddenly become a different person.

"Clap clap…"

In the Shonan Gakuen dugout, the coach clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

"That was a fast throw…"

As the coach of Shonan Gakuen, he shamelessly praised Zhang Han.

"It's First Base and Third Base occupied now, let's continue the game."

But his next sentence immediately hit the core of the problem.

No matter how good Zhang Han's performance was, the initiative was still on their side.

Although they couldn't score, hadn't they already created a great opportunity with First Base and Third Base occupied?

Not to mention, the next batters up were the chubby Akiyama and Kurokawa, known as the Samurai hitter.

They were the two strongest hitters in Shonan Gakuen in terms of power and skill.

With that one sentence, the effect Zhang Han had painstakingly created vanished.

"This guy is really troublesome!"

Zhang Han had seen many troublesome players. This was only the third time he had seen a troublesome coach.

The first coach Zhang Han found troublesome was Kunitomo of Inashiro Industrial.

Although the Seido High School Baseball Team won that game last summer, the process was not smooth. Lady Luck had sided with Seido; if she hadn't, it was very likely that Inashiro Industrial would have advanced to Koshien last year.

Ranked second was Coach Todoroki Raizo of Yakushi, whom he had just seen in the Spring Tournament.

On the surface, he seemed to have no tricks, but in reality, he had many, and they were very dirty.

He eliminated Inashiro Industrial as a dark horse.

If Inashiro hadn't been ranked ahead and met Yakushi first, if Seido had encountered Yakushi first, they might have also capsized in a ditch.

To become a super dark horse, the Yakushi players' strength was indeed formidable. But the most formidable was their coach.

If the tactics weren't dirty, how could they have won against Kunitomo?

Zhang Han had not heard of the coach of Shonan Gakuen during his junior high school days. It was only before this game, when the baseball team was collecting information, that he learned of such an amazing person.

He was known as the Demon Commander!

He often led his baseball team to win against stronger opponents, reaching Koshien several times, and even making it to the Koshien finals.

Although he didn't win the championship, he created many miracles.

He could motivate his players with just one sentence.

Just this point alone showed his extraordinary ability.

Facing a situation with First Base and Third Base occupied, Tanba was clearly not in form, throwing several consecutive pitches outside the strike zone.

Miyuki was anxious, but facing Shonan's core hitters, he didn't dare to let Tanba throw pitches that were too easy to hit.

Easy-to-control pitches were bound to be easy to hit.

After all, Tanba didn't have the speed of Zhang Han or Furuya Satoru. Although his Fastball wasn't slow, its quality was clearly much lower compared to his curveball.

But if he didn't throw Fastballs to the slightly off-center position, how could he help Tanba adjust his form?

"Ball!"

"Four balls, walk to First Base."

Ultimately, the chubby Akiyama was walked to First Base.

First Base and Third Base occupied turned into bases loaded.

At the beginning of the game, the Seido High School Baseball Team encountered a major crisis with bases loaded.

In the dugout.

Coach Kataoka's expression changed from clear to cloudy.

It was fine at first, even when Tanba's pitches were continuously hit, almost giving up runs.

Coach Kataoka didn't get angry.

The opponent was clearly well-prepared, targeting Seido's weak points.

Without sufficient psychological preparation and counter-measures, accidentally letting the opponent get on base, or even giving up two runs.

This was all understandable.

But after that, being too concerned about the runners on base and unable to confront the pitcher.

Coach Kataoka could not accept this.

How did his form change so drastically in just two weeks?

Unfortunately, he encountered Kurokawa.

He was the strongest hitter of Zhang Han's generation during junior high school, a super monster who hit five Homeruns in the entire National Tournament.

That was in junior high, not Koshien.

Matsukata Little League, as the runner-up, was completely overshadowed by the opponent.

"Ping!"

Tanba's Fastball, having regained its form, was thrown very tricky.

But it was still hit by Kurokawa.

The white ball flew over the First Base player's head and into the deep outfield.

The runners on Third Base, Second Base, and First Base all ran back to home plate on this super long hit.

Three runs!
