Chapter 85 Eight Schools Federation 4
Zhang Wei's reaction speed is not slow. As soon as she sees the ball flying to the outfield, she runs towards the estimated landing point.
As long as she catches the ball before it hits the ground, she will have completed a catch and the offensive player will be eliminated.
After Zhang Wei completed his first kill and successfully assisted in a touch kill, Duwek began to readjust his strategy.
It's only the third game now, and they still have three more games to eliminate one more person to win, so Tifield still has a relatively high chance of winning.
Zhang Wei was also very tired, because the four of them who were running around in the perimeter were originally divided into different areas, but the speed and reaction of the other teammates were not as fast as her. In fact, she was responsible for half of the middle and back area, and the other three were responsible for the other half.
The baseball field is fan-shaped. The farther the offensive team hits the ball, the greater the range Zhang Wei needs to run. Fortunately, the ball was not hit to the back position before, so Zhang Wei was able to run in time.
As a result, what you fear will come to you. The opponent obviously discovered this problem. In the next few innings, the batsmen on the offensive side had a tacit understanding and used all their strength to hit the ball as far as possible.
One girl, who looked at least 1.7 meters tall, even hit a home run. Zhang Wei could only watch helplessly as the baseball flew over her head and landed outside the field...
There were three people on base at the time, allowing the opponent to score three points.
In this way, the situation gradually reversed. By the seventh game, Zhang Wei and her teammates still failed to eliminate the opponent's third player, and Du Weike won.
Cheers finally rang out from the audience. Duwek's teammates ran and hugged each other. The entire stadium was filled with a celebratory atmosphere, except for Zhang Wei and the other ten people.
"Well done! Vera!" After the game, Beth had a look of relief on her face and ran over to hug Zhang Wei.
"Although we are still far behind, we have the best fielder on our team!"
"It's true, Vera!"
"Everyone is good. Although there are physical differences, it's good enough that we can play on par with each other!" Coach Marcus also offered words of comfort.
Then the other team members came over and hugged each other to comfort each other. The atmosphere was pretty good and there was a hint of warmth in the cold wind.
When they were packing their things and getting ready to go back to school, Duwek's coach came over and said that there was a locker room for them so they could change their clothes before leaving.
The equipment that baseball players wear when they take the field is relatively bulky, especially the sliding pants. The protective gear covers the entire inner and outer thighs and buttocks, which is not very comfortable to wear on a regular basis.
When they came here, they were afraid that there would be no changing room here, so they changed their equipment and came here. They felt very uncomfortable along the way, but they were also glad that they had prepared in advance.
At this time, they were told that there was a locker room for them to change clothes before going back. Everyone was a little hesitant and then looked at Coach Marcus.
Duvik's coach seemed to have something to say to him, and Coach Marcus thought about it and agreed.
Zhang Wei and the others were led to a very old locker room. It looked clean but a bit shabby. Many of the cabinets inside didn't even have doors. Judging from what was inside, it should be the women's locker room of Duwek's baseball team.
While other team members were still hesitating and observing, Zhang Wei closed the door and quickly changed her clothes. She was sweating and exposed to the wind, feeling very uncomfortable. Fortunately, she habitually brought a full set of clothes and shoes.
Although they were all girls, the smell in the narrow locker room was not very pleasant after exercise. Zhang Wei changed first and came out early. When she turned around, she saw Duwek's captain - a tall black girl with curly hair.
Zhang Wei wondered if she was here to eavesdrop. They didn't seem to be saying anything bad.
Zhang Wei didn't say anything, just looked at her, and she also stared at Zhang Wei up and down.
The weather was still very cold. Zhang Wei wore a school uniform suit jacket on the outside, with a V-neck sweater and shirt underneath. The girl opposite was only wearing a thin sports long-sleeved shirt and a pair of ripped jeans. It seemed that she had changed her clothes somewhere else a long time ago.
Although Zhang Wei has undergone several years of anti-freeze training, he is still more afraid of cold than others, perhaps because of the physique of Asians. However, he is not so bloated in winter.
"Why didn't you dodge? You didn't look so brave when you came here?" she said with a sarcastic tone.
Zhang Wei knew what she meant, but didn't say anything. He kept a distance of several meters, as he needed to be wary of strangers.
"Yes, it's us who should hide, not you."
"Billy's out of school and out of the club, and she's the most gifted batsman."
"Now she helps out at a repair shop and will never touch a baseball again. Her dream used to be to be a professional baseball player."
It turned out that they were talking about the girl who had been disfigured before. Zhang Wei could imagine the result. Even if the girl who had beaten someone was talented, she would not be able to continue her sports career after what happened.
However, this is the reality of society, and ordinary people cannot control it.
"That's unfortunate, but why are you telling me this?"
What Zhang Wei actually wanted to say was that this matter had nothing to do with her.
"I don't know. Maybe I just want to find someone to tell that the coach won't let us come over." She took two steps back.
Zhang Wei could see that she had no ill intentions, and she probably said those words because she was unwilling to accept her fate.
"You guys played very well," Zhang Wei said at last, not knowing what to say.
"Yes, we are the first in the eight-school joint competition!" Her eyes flashed with pride when she arrived at this point.
Then her mood immediately deteriorated: "Billy was better on our baseball team. She's my sister."
After hearing her words, Zhang Wei finally understood why Duwek's coach didn't let them get close to Tifield's team. He was afraid that what happened before would happen again.
"I don't hate you, really. I just think that God is a little unfair. Billy knew she was wrong, but she left the baseball field forever."
"Baseball may be just a recreational game for you, but it is a part of life for us."
People may only think about things from their own perspective. Zhang Wei feels that for a disfigured girl, appearance is also a very important thing in life, but Zhang Wei does not want to argue with her about this.
"No," Zhang Wei retorted, "We came here today to face you and to prove that baseball is important to us too."
At least for Beth, it is particularly important. All the team members have been waiting for this game for half a year.
"Hey, Vera! Stay away from her!"
Beth and the others changed their clothes and came out of the locker room. When they saw Billy's sister, they immediately pulled Zhang Wei behind them.
"What did she say to you?" Beth asked Zhang Wei, looking at her warily.
