It's a Homerun.
They watched as the baseball slammed into the electronic scoreboard, even cracking the screen.
How shocking was such a scene to the fans in attendance?
Setting aside the impact Zhang Han's Homerun had on this deadlocked game, the Homerun itself was enough to make every fan in the stadium feel their adrenaline surge.
At this moment, their eyes were red.
Many people stood up to cheer for Zhang Han, as if they couldn't express their respect for the players on the field any other way.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!!!"
Rhythmic, or perhaps chaotic, applause echoed continuously from the stands.
The most delightful sight, of course, was the young girls standing at the very front of the stands.
Although everything seemed natural to them, they couldn't help but get excited, waving the colorful ribbons in their hands and shouting Zhang Han's name.
In the stands, among the Seido second team, Maezono exclaimed with a smile.
As players of the same grade, perhaps no one felt it more deeply than Maezono and his teammates.
"By the way, how many Homeruns is this already?"
No matter when, as long as Zhang Han hit a Homerun, this topic was unavoidable.
As a top national star player, everyone was well aware of Zhang Han's various statistics.
Plus, there were many of Zhang Han's fans present.
Some of these fans admired his looks, while others admired his skill in playing baseball. Regardless of the reason, they knew the number of Homeruns Zhang Han had hit like the back of their hand.
"Thirty-seven! His 37th Homerun in official games."
"How many official games has the Seido High School Baseball Team played in total over the past year or so?"
On the field, some clear-headed people widened their eyes in disbelief and asked.
"No need to count, Zhang Han averages a Homerun in every game, and often more than one."
People hadn't really tallied how many official games Zhang Han had participated in. But at most, it was just over twenty games combined.
Zhang Han averaged 1.3, or even 1.4 Homeruns per game.
Such Homerun efficiency was absolutely astonishing.
Amidst the praise from the fans in the stands, Zhang Han returned to the Seido High School Baseball Team's dugout.
His teammates immediately surrounded him, some offering him water, others giving him a thumbs-up.
Although the score difference between them and the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team was not large, the players of the Seido High School Baseball Team felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them.
There was no other way. During the game against the Inashiro Industrial High School Baseball Team, or more accurately, during their confrontation with Narumiya Mei, the players of the Seido High School Baseball Team acutely realized how difficult it was to score even a single run.
They had tried everything, and so far, apart from Zhang Han's timely hit at the beginning, the Seido High School Baseball Team hadn't even found a scoring opportunity.
Forget about scoring opportunities, they hadn't even managed to get a single hit.
This wasn't the most despairing part; what truly made them feel despair was Narumiya Mei's three consecutive pitches.
So far, he only pitched with full strength when facing Yuuki and Zhang Han.
When playing against other players from the Seido High School Baseball Team, he didn't even use those pitches.
In other words, so far, Narumiya Mei's pitches, for the most part, were held back. This is assuming Narumiya Mei had no other hidden abilities.
Even so, the players of the Seido High School Baseball Team could clearly feel that Narumiya Mei was not using his full strength.
At least when facing Seido's other players, besides Yuuki and Zhang Han, he wasn't using his full strength.
But even Narumiya Mei, who wasn't using his full strength, still made them feel deep despair.
Facing such a cruel reality, it was impossible for the players of the Seido High School Baseball Team not to be affected.
They felt a heavy pressure, like a great mountain.
At this moment, Zhang Han's two-run Homerun not only completely turned the tide of the game, it also gave all the teammates of the Seido High School Baseball Team a sense of reassurance.
Zhang Han, with his actions, showed all his teammates in the Seido High School Baseball Team that while Narumiya Mei's strength was extraordinary, he was not unbeatable.
They could still hit the ball and score.
Most importantly, Zhang Han, with his actions, told all the players of the Seido High School Baseball Team, and the fans in the stands who supported the Seido High School Baseball Team, that his first time hitting Narumiya Mei's pitch squarely was not a coincidence, but a display of his skill.
If it had been Zhang Han's first time hitting the ball, even if Zhang Han had sworn by it, his own teammates in the Seido High School Baseball Team would have secretly doubted it.
Narumiya Mei's sudden display of pitches had really put the Seido High School Baseball Team's players through the wringer.
Coupled with the psychological shadow Uehara had left them with before, that pitching style was inherently very difficult to deal with; even Zhang Han had suffered losses when facing Uehara.
Now, they had witnessed an evolved version of that pitch.
The ball speed had increased by two levels, and the change-up seemed sharper than Uehara's.
Zhang Han, in his first confrontation with him, hit the ball squarely on the very first pitch.
If you said it wasn't a coincidence, would people believe it?
But now, he had hit the ball again, and it was a clean two-run Homerun.
Even if you said it was a coincidence, people wouldn't believe it anymore.
After all, once might indeed be a coincidence, but twice in a row, isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?
"How did you see that pitch?"
After Zhang Han finished drinking water, Coach Ochiai approached him, stroking the little beard on his chin, and asked.
