Chapter 664 - 664: Safe

"Bang!"

"Out!!!"

Just as the baseball was about to fly out of the field, it was forcefully intercepted, denying the opponent a Homerun, and without pausing, the ball was thrown back precisely to Kuramochi, who was running towards Second Base.

Even in the highlight reels of Major League Baseball, such a scene is extremely rare.

The fans in the stands, witnessing this moment with their own eyes, could barely contain their excitement, which threatened to burst forth.

"Han…"

This sound echoed in the stands for a long time.

In the Seido High School Baseball Team dugout.

The players who had completed their defense and returned to the dugout also had excitement on their faces.

Although they were temporarily leading in today's game, the pressure that Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team exerted on the Seido High School Baseball Team players was immense.

Especially their Ace, Narumiya Mei, who, so far, had only been hit out twice in a row, and both times by Zhang Han.

One timely hit, one Homerun.

The other players, including Yuuki, the captain, did not gain much advantage.

As for Kuramochi, who also got on base, it was entirely due to the opponent's underestimation.

If Narumiya Mei had gone all out from the beginning, even the Seido High School Baseball Team's own teammates would find it hard to imagine him hitting the ball out.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Seido High School Baseball Team can maintain its lead now is twofold.

On one hand, it's thanks to Zhang Han's hitting, and on the other hand, it's due to luck.

Although their own team's pitcher, Tanba, also performed very well in today's game, the Seido High School Baseball Team players still felt uneasy, especially given the flaws shown in the previous inning.

During the game against Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team, they could constantly feel a huge crisis approaching.

Just like a moment ago, a tiny mistake almost led to a run, allowing Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team to tie the score.

Precisely because they are in the same district and know each other well, the Seido High School Baseball Team players could feel even more clearly the terrifying aspect of the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team.

Given even a tiny chance, they might be able to achieve an ultimate comeback.

To avoid this, the Seido High School Baseball Team players are naturally trying their best to compensate.

However, how effective their efforts will be remains an unknown.

The key was, could Tanba, who had been in such good form earlier, get back to it, or was it back to the same old problems?

For the Seido High School Baseball Team's teammates, they barely dared to hope that such a thing would happen to them.

Until Zhang Han denied Carlos a Homerun and executed a perfect double play.

The Seido High School Baseball Team's teammates suddenly saw hope of winning the game.

In today's game, they were not only in good form and performed excellently, but even luck, which had not been on Seido High School Baseball Team's side, finally seemed fair this time, beginning to favor Seido High School Baseball Team.

This three-out play had too great an impact on both teams.

The entire course of the game, if not completely changed, was significantly shaken.

The Inashiro players, who had been very active, also seemed to have suffered a huge blow at this moment, remaining silent after returning to their dugout.

The Seido High School Baseball Team players could almost see their dejection.

In contrast, the morale of the Seido High School Baseball Team surged.

"Thank you."

When Tanba returned to the dugout, he sincerely thanked Zhang Han.

The out just now was actually fine.

The key was denying the Homerun, which preserved his rhythm.

For this alone, Tanba should thank Zhang Han.

"We are teammates on the same team, Senpai."

Almost everyone was watching Zhang Han's reaction, and Zhang Han smiled, answering with a serious expression.

The competition for the pitcher position is one thing, but once they are on the field, they are teammates fighting side by side.

When Zhang Han said this, almost all the Seido High School Baseball Team players smiled.

Coach Ochiai stroked the beard on his chin, looking at Zhang Han with an appreciative expression.

Generally, talented players inevitably have the flaw of being arrogant.

Geniuses are lonely.

This statement might be biased, but it aligns with most facts.

The best students in a class usually have few good friends.

The top performers in a company often have many fair-weather friends but no true friends. Whether he leaves or a colleague leaves, very few maintain contact.

Even handsome men and beautiful women…

It is difficult to escape this law.

Zhang Han basically excelled in all these aspects.

Not to mention his excellent baseball skills, it is said that his academic performance is also among the best in his class.

Among the players on the baseball team, he could even rank in the top three.

His appearance could even grace magazines.

As an amateur with almost no filming experience, being able to appear in magazines as a model was entirely due to his looks and demeanor.

In almost every aspect that could be compared, Zhang Han had reached the pinnacle.

Yet, he never made people feel annoyed.

Whether it was Zhang Han's opponents or his teammates who spent time with him, everyone was willing to be close to him.

Tanba's heart was very complex.

He had the ambition to compete for the Ace position, the thoughts of a senior, and also a timid side…

Even among his fellow third-year players, it was difficult for him to give his true affection.

Zhang Han, as a junior one year younger than him, and also a main competitor for the Ace position.

Their relationship, even if not openly hostile, should not be good.

But in fact, Zhang Han could basically be considered one of Tanba's top five friends on the team.

"Excellent in all aspects, he's truly everyone's ideal child!"

Not only his teammates, but also the Coach, the club manager, the coaching staff members, and even the team managers.

All had a very good impression of Zhang Han.

If Zhang Han were a social expert, who could use an emotional intelligence far superior to others to interact with people and make everyone feel comfortable, Ochiai might not find it strange.

In reality, it's not like that.

Although Zhang Han's emotional intelligence is not low, it is not far superior to his peers.

The reason he could attract so many people was entirely due to his inherent charm.

His own personality, his way of dealing with things, his attitude towards games, his attitude towards training…

He earned the unanimous admiration and recognition of everyone in the Seido High School Baseball Team, including everyone he interacted with.

"This young man truly makes it impossible to feel jealous."
