"Solve him with full power!"
Two outs, no runners on base.
There was no better opportunity to directly confront Zhang Han than now.
Even knowing that a direct confrontation might carry risks, Mikura resolutely gave the order to Aoki.
There was no other way; the temptation to resolve Zhang Han at this moment was simply too great.
The current score on the field was 6:3, with Shonan Gakuen trailing by a full three runs.
Their previous offense had been ineffective, and there was no telling when they would be able to catch up.
At this moment, the team desperately needed a morale boost.
As long as Zhang Han was dealt with directly, the morale issue could be resolved.
Even a fool could see now that the main offensive players for the Seido High School Baseball Team were Yuuki and Zhang Han.
Taking out either of them would undoubtedly deal a very heavy blow to the other players of the Seido High School Baseball Team.
And this was precisely what they needed.
Mikura's eyes were almost red.
For him, the upcoming confrontation was very likely the pitch that would decide the direction of this game.
"Swish!"
The white ball whistled past.
This time, Zhang Han observed it coolly, still not swinging.
"Pop!"
"Strike!!"
Zhang Han was now in a two-strike count.
As Zhang Han was pushed, the expressions on the faces of the Seido High School Baseball teammates began to grow serious.
Zhang Han's hitting ability, in their team, should be ranked first, or at least tied for first.
But when it came to his eye for selecting pitches, he was truly unrivaled, even among the entire Tokyo area.
Yuuki occasionally made mistakes in pitch selection, but Zhang Han almost never did.
Were the opponent's identical vertical sliders and Fastballs so indistinguishable that even Zhang Han couldn't tell the difference?
If that were truly the case, the teammates would have to re-evaluate the current game situation.
But the people from Shonan Gakuen didn't feel relaxed either.
Zhang Han being pushed was not because of their pitcher, but by his own choice.
He intentionally let the second pitch go by, his purpose being to observe that pitch.
How much confidence must that take?
If he didn't have enough confidence that he could definitely hit the ball on the third pitch, how could he do something like that?
Akiyama stared at Zhang Han with his chubby eyes, his mind constantly recalling Zhang Han's data.
Zhang Han's eye for pitch selection was renowned.
Trying to deal with him using bad pitches was simply impossible. Throwing a bad pitch would only weaken their own momentum.
They could only go head-to-head.
Fastball or slider?
The answer was obvious.
"He only saw one pitch, I don't believe he can hit it on the second pitch?"
When Akiyama was giving the signal, it was as if he was putting all his strength into it. He wanted to communicate with his teammates in this way.
They had no retreat; they could only go all the way now.
This was exactly what Aoki wanted.
Aoki had also been following Zhang Han, watching him rise to the top of the Seido High School Baseball Team step by step.
Countless times before falling asleep in bed, he had wondered what it would be like if he were Zhang Han?
Now, fate had finally given him the chance. He could face Zhang Han head-on. As long as he won this time, he would fulfill the dream in his heart.
"Swish!"
During the subsequent pitch, Aoki pressed his entire weight onto the two fingers used for the throw.
The thrown baseball, spinning at high speed, arrived in front of Zhang Han in a blink of an eye.
Not a bad pitch!
Upon seeing the angle of the pitch, Zhang Han instantly made a judgment.
He could clearly see the general landing point of the baseball. The main thing now was to see if this pitch would change?
Zhang Han's judgment was: it would!
His previous Homerun, whether to Aoki on the pitcher's mound or Akiyama in the catcher position, must have left a very deep impression.
At this moment, using a Fastball unexpectedly to get a strike was already quite good for Aoki and Akiyama.
These two guys didn't have the courage of Miyuki; they would absolutely not dare to use a Fastball at this moment.
Although he already had a judgment in his mind, Zhang Han's eyes never left the flying baseball.
Until he vaguely saw the baseball's spin.
This also corroborated Zhang Han's previous judgment.
Now!
The baseball suddenly dropped rapidly before approaching the strike zone.
Seeing this, the girls in the stands who had been watching Zhang Han, involuntarily raised their hands holding binoculars, letting out screams.
They were somewhat unable to watch.
Just then.
A louder scream suddenly erupted in their ears.
"Wow…"
"Beautiful!!!"
The white ball was hit solidly.
It drew an arc in the sky and heavily struck the electronic scoreboard.
The fat commentator responsible for commentating on this game, his voice trembled with excitement.
"Again, it flew out again!"
"The Seido High School Baseball Team scores another run. Zhang Han's personal Homerun count has been updated to thirty-four. This game has just started two innings, and Zhang Han has already hit two Homeruns. It looks like he not only wants to become the Rookie King of Koshien, but he even wants to challenge our Kanto Tournament record. I just checked, the highest Homerun record in the Kanto Tournament is six, and now Zhang Han is only five Homeruns away from breaking this record."
Only five Homeruns left!
If this were said about someone else, it would definitely not be considered praise; perhaps it would be taken as sarcasm.
Only six in total, and still five short of breaking it, what kind of talk is that?
But when the fat commentator said it at this moment, all the fans present actually felt it was natural.
After all, this game had just begun today.
Zhang Han had already hit two Homeruns…
How many more could he hit by the time the game ended?
And looking at the current situation, the Seido High School Baseball Team should be confident of victory in today's game.
How many more Homeruns could Zhang Han hit in their subsequent games?
For others, this might be bragging, but when applied to Zhang Han, almost everyone present had a sense of course.
