Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Opportunity

"Is it OK?"

Another stone stirred up a thousand waves. Although the players of the second team of Seido High School Baseball Team are not as good as those of the first team, they are all capable.

As a nationally famous baseball giant, Seido High School Baseball Team selects the best prospects when recruiting students. As for those who can be promoted to the first team, they are all baseball talents selected from hundreds or even thousands of applicants.

With this ratio, the players who can be promoted to the second team will naturally not be bad. They not only have strength but also vision. Even if they have not stood in the batter's box and have not experienced it personally, they can feel how difficult the pitcher named James Walker is.

At the same time, they have naturally rehearsed in their hearts. If they go on the field themselves, facing the pitcher named James, what are their chances of winning? The answer is undoubtedly not optimistic.

It is for this reason that a group of players from Seido High School Baseball Team have solemn expressions. So much so that the air pressure in their entire rest area is frighteningly low.

The ace of the second team is a senior in the third grade. Although his pitching was very strong, his teammates on the Seido High School baseball team could still feel that he was not up to the task. Even though he got two outs in a row, he still couldn't give his teammates any sense of security. Everyone could understand that as long as time went on, they would definitely lose points.

In this situation, a first-year kid was so arrogant that he said that James's pitching was just good...

"A kid at the bottom of the second team, who gave you the courage to talk nonsense here?"

"If you really play, I'm afraid you can't even hit the bat!"

"John..."

John Howe himself didn't expect that his simple words would cause such a big commotion. The second- and third-year seniors in front of him were like someone stepped on their tails, and their eyes were red.

"Okay, isn't it embarrassing enough?"

A cold voice sounded, and the second- and third-year seniors reluctantly sat back down.

"I also know that James's pitching is not that easy to deal with. But what were you doing just now? Just because your junior said something, it was like being poked in the vitals? Did he step on your sore spot?"

Facing Rachel Thompson's aggressiveness, the second and third grade seniors tilted their heads to one side and murmured, "It's as if he can hit the ball when he goes on the field?"

This is what the second and third grade seniors present felt the most annoyed. If John really has that kind of strength, they actually wouldn't say anything, but would send the most sincere blessings. But the question is, does John have that kind of strength?

He doesn't have that kind of strength, but he's still talking nonsense here, who is he slapping in the face?

"No matter whether you can hit it or not, if you don't even have the courage to go on the field to hit, how can you play? If you don't have the courage, just quit the team. We don't have such cowards in our Seido High School baseball team."

At this time, Rachel Thompson exuded the aura of a strict teacher, which stunned John. He never thought that the vice-chairman of his own team would have such a side.

Rachel Thompson was also in deep thought. Judging from the situation today, their second-team players will not only lose but will also lose miserably.

The big win over the city's third high school can give James confidence. On their side, it's the exact opposite.

"To break the current situation, we need a surprise player to break James's confidence."

Thinking of surprise players, Rachel Thompson's mind popped up several names. Seido, which is famous for its strong bats, has never lacked good hitters! But the problem is that those guys are all in the first team now, and she can't transfer them back.

She can only pick from the second-team team. The players in the second-team team are not bad. But it's hard to find one who can hit James's pitch and undermine James's confidence.

Rachel Thompson turned her attention to John. Can he do it? Asking herself, Rachel Thompson is not sure. But at this time, she has no other way to think about it. John, who was also unsure and did not take James seriously, was obviously more reliable than the others.

With a decision in mind, the next step was to wait for the opportunity. This opportunity lasted until the top of the fourth inning. The score on the field had become 2:0. No matter how hard the ace of the second team of Seido High School baseball team gritted his teeth and persisted, facing the batting line of the city's third high school baseball team, he was still taken advantage of.

The players wanted revenge and wanted to catch up. But James's pitching did not reveal any flaws. When the top of the fourth inning began, James got an out cleanly. One out, no one on base. Just when James wanted to continue to deal with Seido's second batter, his hand slipped.

The ball flying out of his hand suddenly became weak. This sudden change not only scared the players of the city's third high school baseball team, but also the second batter of Seido High School baseball team. But his rich game experience allowed him to catch this flaw in an instant, and he swung the bat without hesitation.

"Ping!"

The white baseball was hit and flew into the field. Two players from the City University High School baseball team quickly chased after the ball. The white baseball went straight through the two of them and bounced into the outfield.

"It went through!"

"Hit!"

"Successful on base!!!"

The second batter of the Seido High School baseball team quickly ran to first base. One out and a runner on first base.

Faced with such a situation, James raised a finger disapprovingly.

"It was my problem just now, don't mind it. One out!"

His calm performance made Rachel Thompson a little upset. They were from the same team, but their personalities were very different. If their team's Tamba could have such a mentality, their position as pitcher would not be questioned so much.

"Don't take it to heart, this kind of accident is inevitable, the key is to play well in the next game. Go, boys!!"

The coach of the City University High School Sophomore Army is a passionate middle-aged man. It was at this time that Rachel Thompson, who felt that the time had come, suddenly made the decision to change players.

"The Seido High School baseball team has changed players!"

The second batter who had just scored a hit and made great contributions to the team was directly replaced. The one running on the bases in his place was the first-year rookie Kevin.

"They have no information about you at all. Even if they know you are fast and are on guard, they won't go too far."

"Hehe, don't worry. I will definitely teach them a lesson."

At such a critical moment, he took on a big responsibility. Kevin was not only not restrained, but also looked very motivated.
