Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 337
"The ones on the back... eh... how should I put it, the seniors on the back, such as Kuramochi-senpai, Maenon-senpai..." Finally, Eijun boarded the mound that he had fought for , just raised his arm and shouted, suddenly got stuck.

Everyone behind was silent, and Xiaochun was about to take a breath to respond, but the guy in front started talking nonsense.

"... Xiaochun, who has suddenly become very sharp recently, I don't know where I have offended you, but I'm sorry... Hey, and Miyuki-senpai who is squatting in front of you, although you have a dark belly, most of the time you are still an idiot. Good catcher..."

The benches on both sides fell silent because of this long series of speeches, huge question marks condensed on the faces of everyone in Qingdao.

'Who is going to stop him! '

'No, it's so shameful, didn't you see that the voices of the audience are all quiet?I don't want to be stared at by the audience. '

'Eh?Senior Kuramochi, why did you cover your face with gloves, shouldn't you kick him at this time? '

Kuramochi lost his sight and temporarily lost contact with everyone in the field.

So in the silence, the guy on the mound became more and more verbose, "... I did see Jiang Gu's performance just now, and to be honest, I can't guarantee that I can deliver a better performance than him, But I'll do my best to-"

The audience fell silent for two seconds in tacit agreement, and some of them could clearly hear what the pitcher was shouting, after all, that guy was almost exhausted.

"What is that pitcher doing?"

"The speech on the mound? It's so funny!"

"Listen, that pitcher is so nervous he can't stop talking."

"Who is so, what's his name?"

After the silence, there was an explosion of laughter and discussion.

Amidst the noise, Miyuki stood up silently, and threw a ball towards the chatterer.

The pitcher, who was still struggling with his words, suddenly appeared a white ball in front of his eyes. He didn't expect the catcher's movement, but such a long period of training had trained him to have extraordinary reflexes. The ball was put in the glove, and at the same time, the mouth stopped.

'Ah, stop. '

'finally. .Is Miyuki angry? '

Miyuki saw that the pitcher caught the ball well, and then squatted back silently. This set of movements was extraordinarily intimidating, and Eijun's long string of words immediately stuck in his stomach.

The pitcher read the message from the strength of the ball, 'Didn't you win this inning for yourself, so why are you so nervous. '

Settling down, Eijun finally set his sights behind the home plate.

In the seventh round, Qingzhengshe's side played the lower line.

'Even if you are playing in the lower position, you must pay attention to the speed and change of the ball. This is your special skill. 'It is also the key to him being able to gain a foothold in this team.

Eijun nodded, recalling the first time Takano taught him the carterball.

"Why did my ball become so early, so that the hitter can pick it up directly." At first he couldn't comprehend the true meaning.

"Practice, your quirk ball is your greatest weapon. Change the grip of the suture, move a suture to the side, and then pay attention to the process of your fingers exerting force, and slowly improve it." Gao Zhiye At that time, the Carter Ball had already taken shape.

At that time, Chris was still there, and he would come back occasionally to see his progress, "Stop acting like a baby, it's useless. As a pitcher, your pitch is your weapon. Whether the weapon is sharpened or not, you will see it as soon as you get on the field. , It’s useless to struggle until then.”

Yes, he knew very well that when he was on the mound, it was like being on an oven. Only real gold is not afraid of fire.

'I know, I've always known! 'Then focus on the body and breathing, pouring all the power into the final touch.

Dust kicked up from the mound, and a white light flashed in front of the batter.

Compared with the falling valley in front of Qingdao, the speed of this ball is almost as bad as grandma's house, but after the hitter swung confidently, the ball suddenly disappeared.

"Pa——" Behind him was the sound of a baseball plunging into the glove, and the batter turned his head to see where the ball hit the base.

"Strike!" the referee ruled.

The catcher's smile pierced into the batter's eyes through the mask, "It's a good shot."

"Huh?" At the entrance to the bench seat of the Qingzheng Society, the supervisor asked, "What's going on?"

That pitcher didn't play many innings in Koshien, and most of them were relievers. His characteristic was that he could use a soft ball to make batters hit badly. For the time being, no one has thought about deciphering the secret of this pitcher.

'Damn it, that posture hides the shot point, and the ball suddenly disappeared! 'Only a hitter on the strike zone can tell how it all happened.

"Ball three, the hitter is out!"

The questioning eyes on the next bat aroused the batter's desire to talk, "That team, what's going on, the pitchers are all monsters."

An ace who is good at pitching, a No. [-] pitcher with a high speedball, plus a left-handed pitcher with a strange posture, and a side pitcher who closes the door. These different types of pitchers, if you put any of them in other teams, they can send big players. However, in Qingdao, they can only find their performance opportunities in the follow-up cast.

"Three outs, switch offense and defense!"

Another soft grounder, quickly double-killed and got two outs, even faster than the previous Jianggu.

"Nice! Sawamura!"

"You were so nervous when you first came on stage, I thought you were going to screw it up!"

"Good shot!"

Eijun just grinned like this, and was surrounded by praises. When he came to the entrance, his grinning mouth drooped with a word from the supervisor, "Very good, and Kawakami will finish later."

"Ah!?" At this time, Eijun remembered that the time he was able to stand on the mound was only one inning, but he only threw less than ten pitches, and the third hitter even took the first pitch. Made a double play.

"I haven't fully understood that pitcher Qiuwuwuwu—" The person who was about to quarrel again was dragged into the bench by everyone covering his mouth in an instant.

Half an hour later, the air defense siren sounded again over Jiashiyuan. The children whose bodies were half covered with mud, none of them were crying. They lined up on one side of their benches and faced the support with smiles. other people.

"First of all, please Mr. XXX present the award to the quasi-winner of the 2008 X Spring Koshien, who is from the Kiyoshosha in the Osaka area..."

A row of young men stood in a row, there were pennants, trophies, and medals hanging around everyone's necks. After the award ceremony at Kiyoshosha was over, it was Seidou's side, and Miyuki took the pennant on behalf of Seidou , Takano was pushed to the front by Kuramochi and Maezono to take the trophy, and the rest got a medal each.

Fortunately, that guy Rongchun was immersed in emotion, and he didn't make any rude moves to the chairman amidst everyone's panic.

'Won. '

'we won. '

'Really won. '

Singing Qingdao's school song, the real feeling of victory fell on everyone. They really won, and won this heavy trophy in the hands of a bunch of seemingly invincible opponents.
