Chapter 750 Evil Side

After hearing Zhang Han's suggestion, his teammates all looked at Zhang Han with disappointment.

They never expected that a gentleman like Zhang Han could come up with such an unconventional idea.

But at the same time, the expressions on his teammates' faces also changed.

Before, they were suppressed by Sakurazawa High School's players, so they couldn't relax.

Even though they were leading by a wide margin and seemed to have victory in their grasp, the Seido High School Baseball Team's teammates still couldn't relax.

There was nothing they could do; although today's game was not over yet, their minds were clearly no longer on the opponent.

Ever since they learned the results of the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team and Ichidaisan Third High School Baseball Team's games, their comparison target had already become those two teams.

So they not only had to win today's game but also ensure that their performance was not worse than those two teams.

However, through observing the first two innings, although the teammates were confident they could win today's game, ending it early in five innings, like those two teams, would probably not be that easy...

Whether it was because their opponents were different, or because the Seido High School Baseball Team's teammates performed poorly today, the teammates were somewhat unable to accept the current result.

Just thinking about it made them feel as if they had swallowed something foul, utterly blocked.

It wasn't until they heard Zhang Han's suggestion that the expressions on their faces completely relaxed.

Although they still weren't 100% sure they could solve the current opponent and problem, the teammates were clearly no longer as conflicted and uncomfortable as before.

Before, they couldn't even think of a solution.

Now, even though they don't know if the solution will work, at least there's a solution to use, isn't there?

The Ninth Batter, who had just stepped up, adopted this approach.

Nisso, at the catcher position, saw it and his eyes widened.

He knew very well what the opponent's action meant.

Although their previous opponents had never thought of this method, their professor had made such a deduction during their own practice.

"If the opponent consistently fails to make contact with the ball, they are likely to adopt a half-bunt strategy in the later stages of the game."

The Sakurazawa High School baseball team's teammates had thought of this before the game officially began.

But they didn't expect the Seido High School Baseball Team's players to be so decisive.

And they discovered it so quickly.

Before even one round of the game was over, the Seido High School Baseball Team's lower-order batters had already figured out a solution to the problem.

"As expected of a powerhouse, they certainly have a trick up their sleeve."

However...

"Ping!"

A nearly playful swing actually made contact with the ball.

In the Seido High School Baseball Team's dugout, the surprise in the teammates' eyes could not be hidden.

Sakurazawa's unconventional pitcher was finally suppressed by them.

However, before smiles could even appear on their faces, new changes occurred on the field.

Inamoto, the Shortstop, seemed to know exactly where the baseball would land, running ahead to its landing spot and scooping up the ball.

Then he threw it to first base.

"Snap!"

Tanba, the Seido High School Baseball Team's Ninth Batter, who had just run seven or eight steps, was out just like that.

This left the Seido supporters in the stands feeling very shocked.

"Is Sakurazawa High School's defense that strong?"

In their previous impression, Sakurazawa High School's players performed very ordinarily when defending.

How did they suddenly become so strong?

This is illogical, very, very illogical.

But the teammates couldn't figure out where this matter was illogical.

They just had a feeling that this was too different from what they had imagined.

In the Seido High School Baseball Team's dugout, the originally confident teammates felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them.

They had indeed, to some extent, solved the knuckleball.

They hit the ball out in a playful, childlike manner.

But at the same time, they also suffered the consequences; precisely because of the unconventional hitting stance they used, they couldn't hit the ball very far, nor could they hit it very powerfully.

The final result was what it is now.

Although the baseball was hit, it did not achieve the effect they had previously imagined.

"The idea is correct, but to hit the ball out, an idea alone is far from enough."

Coach Kataoka turned around and looked seriously at all the hitting players.

The teammates understood immediately.

They understood what their Coach meant.

"Yes!"

The strategy of hitting the ball out was not the problem; the key was how to make the hit ball a base hit.

One out, no runners on base.

The score on the field was still 2:0; besides the initial stolen base run, only Zhang Han's Homerun had helped the baseball team score a run.

Next to step into the batter's box was the Seido High School Baseball Team's First Batter, Kuramochi, who had previously used his speed to forcefully snatch a run from Sakurazawa High School.

When this bad boy stepped into the batter's box, not only were the Seido High School Baseball Team's teammates full of anticipation for his performance, but there was also a lot of commotion among Sakurazawa High School's players.

They were not defeated by Zhang Han's Homerun, and at this moment, they naturally did not want to lose due to Kuramochi's speed.

Although it was difficult, they still hoped to successfully get this out.

This out held extremely special significance for them.

"Whoosh!"

After carefully adjusting their formation, Nagao Akira threw the baseball in his hand.

When facing this kind of ball, Kuramochi did not swing the bat behind him, but rather adopted a half-hitting stance from the start.

He only pushed the bat forward when the baseball approached.

He wasn't aiming for power or speed in his hitting, but simply to make contact with the ball.

And Kuramochi's target was first base.

Although the other players of Sakurazawa High School performed very diligently, the only ones who truly posed a threat to the Seido High School Baseball Team were the pitcher, catcher, and Shortstop.

According to the information they had received earlier, these three individuals already had a good foundation.

And after entering high school, they had honed a special skill.

Currently, they indeed possessed some strength.

One couldn't say they were superior to the Seido High School Baseball Team's players, but generally, they could be compared on the same level.

But the others were not as good.

Including their First Baseman.

"Ping!"

The white ball rolled towards first base.

At the same time, Kuramochi stomped his foot hard on the ground, then launched himself forward like an arrow.
