Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 157 Jiang Guxiao’s strength! ([-]-in-[-])

It was the first half of the second inning of the game between the Seido High School Baseball Team and the Aikawa High School Baseball Team.

The score on the court was 0:0.

Qingdao, who was supposed to have an overwhelming advantage in the competition, was not in a good atmosphere at the moment.

In the seating area of ​​the Seido High School baseball team, everyone could clearly feel how low the air pressure was.
This is not to say how difficult their opponents are?
Mingchuan, who was playing against the Seido High School baseball team today, was indeed a bit surprising.

The players of the Seido High School baseball team recognize this.

But if we say, with the strength shown by the opponent now, how big a threat can it pose to the Seido High School baseball team?
That's obviously not possible.

The players of the Seido High School baseball team have strong self-confidence and can rely on their own strong strength to defeat the opponent cleanly.

as if just now...

Even though it was their first time playing against Mingchuan's Yang Shunchen, the Qingdao High School baseball team almost scored a point.

The most difficult thing for the friends of the Seido High School baseball team to accept is this so-called close call.

Luck is really a mysterious thing in baseball.

In a game, especially a battle between a strong team and a strong team, there are not many real opportunities to score.

The outcome of their confrontation?
To a large extent, it depends on whether their team can create such opportunities?
And in the game, seize such opportunities and score points in one fell swoop.

Is the Qingdao High School baseball team stronger than Mingchuan?

This is not something a member of the Seido High School baseball team should brag about.

but facts.

A fact that anyone can see at a glance.

But even so, the players of the Seido High School baseball team had to admit that their opponents were equally good.

Especially the guy named Yang Shunchen.

In this game, the opponent's ace pitcher will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Seido High School baseball team.

This is also a certainty.

In this case, the Seido High School baseball team can actually create more scoring opportunities than Mingchuan, but I'm afraid they won't be able to create too many more opportunities...

For the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, this is exactly what worries them the most at this time.

If Lady Luck had always been on Mingchuan's side, they would have been unable to seize three or five opportunities in a row.

Then maybe the outcome of today's game might be followed by an accident.

You know, this is a question that the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have never considered before.

When they truly realized this, they naturally couldn't accept it for a while.

Not only the players, but even the team's supervisors and ministers are not immune to this.

Showdowns between high school players are sometimes so baffling.

It doesn't mean that if a team is strong, they will definitely be able to win the game.

"We must find a way to reverse the situation."

"It feels like Lady Luck has been bribed by the other party..."

In the dugout of the Qingdao High School baseball team, a group of friends murmured.

do not know why?
When these guys were muttering, they naturally focused on Feng Guxiao.

Turn around the momentum on the court?

To do this, it's best to score points quickly.

The problem is, the strongest hitter on their Aomichi High School baseball team has just finished hitting.

The next batter who comes on the court may not be able to create scoring opportunities so quickly when faced with Yang Shun-chen, who is accurately controlling the ball.

If you can't score, you can only rely on defense.

Since the opponent's ace pitcher can give the boys of the Seido High School baseball team a showdown.

Of course they can also fight tooth for tooth, eye for eye.

Just when everyone was looking at Jiang Guxiao, a bright smile appeared on Jiang Guxiao's face.

The person who had always been expressionless suddenly grinned, giving people a feeling not of comfort, but of terror?
"Did we go too far! No matter how reliable this guy is, he is still just a first-year freshman."

Kuramochi Yoichi said with a worried look.

It is impossible for first-year newcomers to have too strong mental endurance.

Once their current ace pitcher really breaks down due to too much pressure.

The Seido High School baseball team has a lot of fun.

"No way! Since he can run here from Hokkaido, he must be determined enough."

The smiling look on Ryosuke Kominato's face was no longer visible at some point.

Although he expressed doubts, the second-stringer of the Qingdao High School baseball team obviously had the same worries as his junior.

What if something happens to their current ace?
The second and third grade seniors on the Seido High School baseball team simply cannot afford the consequences.

Seeing that his junior brother seemed to have something really wrong, Yuuki, the captain of the team, was ready to step forward to comfort him.

In fact, Jiang Guxiao doesn't have to bear so much pressure.

Although he was already the ace pitcher of the Seido High School baseball team at this time, everyone on the Seido High School baseball team never thought that Akatsuki Fukitani could hold the opponent scoreless on the field.

Not just the ace of their team.

Looking at the country, none of the aces of the country's top wealthy families can guarantee that they can do this.

As long as he can control losing points as much as possible, that will be enough for the Seido High School baseball team.

As for turning the score around.

They, the third-year seniors of the Seido High School baseball team, can do it themselves.

But before the captain of the Seido High School baseball team could say anything, they heard Akatsuki Fukitani, who was smiling, speaking in a ferocious tone.

"Don't worry, I'm very strong too!"

When they heard these words, the expressions of all the players on the Qingdao High School baseball team changed unconsciously.

Although they had encouraged Akatsuki Fukutani so much before, to be honest, no one on the Qingdao High School baseball team really believed that Akatsuki Fukutani could solve the problem on his own.

They just push their juniors to get better and better on the field...

They just help the team and cultivate a suitable successor for the future of the Seido High School baseball team.

But now, looking at Akatsuki Fanggu showing strong confidence.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team suddenly came up with an idea in their minds.

Maybe they can really try to trust their little brother.

Or maybe their junior brother can really bring them a bigger surprise.

"Then it's up to you, Ace!"

The words of admonishment that he originally wanted to say came to his lips, but they were swallowed back by the captain.

Then he affirmed Fang Guxiao's promise in a firm tone.

"Please, Ace!"

"If you can't do it, just give up your position to others! Others can't wait..."

"That's right, Tamba!!"

Danbo, who had been squatting aside without saying a word, was actually called upon by a contestant of the same grade?
He originally thought that after the trump card was given to Fang Guxiao, everyone might have forgotten about him?
Unexpectedly, he didn't expect it anyway.

Everyone not only remembers him, but also has high expectations for his future.

He was obviously injured...

His heart was moved, but Danba's eyes became extremely hot.

"that's right!!!"

Seeing Koichiro Tanba's statement, the atmosphere of the Aomichi High School baseball team became more enthusiastic.The fourth bat of the Mingchuan High School baseball team is named Shiratori. He is a tall and burly player.

Overpowering Yang Shunchen, he served as the team's fourth player.

The White Bird's performance in the strike zone is unquestionable.

His hitting ability ranks among the top two in the entire Mingchuan High School baseball team.

As soon as he came on the field, the players in the dugout of the Mingchuan High School baseball team reacted enthusiastically.

"White Bird, look for it, fight it out!!"

"You are the best player on our team!!!"

After hearing the blessings from his little friend, Shiratiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Everyone said it was so easy...

It felt like they could hit the ball casually and completely take the lead.

But is it really like that?
When he was in the rest area before, Shiratiao didn't feel too deeply.

But actually standing in the batter's box, facing off against the ace pitcher of the Seido High School baseball team and their entire fielding.

That feeling is completely different.

Shiratori of the Mingchuan High School baseball team felt as if he was stuck in a quagmire.

He could clearly feel the strength of the entire defensive system of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Especially Akatsuki Fukitani, who is the core of the defense. When that man stands on the pitcher's mound, he feels particularly tall.

It seems that if he throws the ball at random, he can crush him to the point where there is no scum left.

Thinking of the white birds here, they all have plans to escape.

But as the team's fourth player, where can he retreat?
Once he escapes at this time.

Don't even call him escaping, even if he looked afraid.

Their entire team will take a heavy blow.

At that time, no matter how favored the goddess of luck is, there is no possibility for them to fight back.

"I can't escape, I have to face it bravely!"

Shiratiao bit the tip of his tongue, and a huge pain instantly spread from the tip of his tongue throughout his body.

It also made his mind regain its calmness.

It wasn't until this moment that Shiratiao knew what he should do?
No matter how slim the hope is, he must adopt an aggressive stance.

Only when they perform actively and the goddess of luck patronizes them can they create miracles on this field.

Once they all choose to give up resistance.

No matter how lucky they are, they can't score points.

"I won't..."

Just when the fourth batter of the Mingchuan High School baseball team made up his mind.

White baseballs whizzed by.

"boom!"

First there was a crack of thunder, followed by a flash of white lightning.

The white bird watched helplessly as the white baseball flew past his eyes.

He wants to move!

But the speed of the white ball was so fast that his swing of the bat seemed to be in slow motion.

The two are not in the same speed dimension at all.

The baseball flashed by before he could swing the bat.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

The players in the dugout of the Mingchuan High School baseball team were cheering for their ace and the blessing of the goddess of luck just now.

At this time, there was no sound in an instant.

Akatsuki Fanggu was like a big devil, dragging these guys from the world to hell.

Even if they were not unlucky, even if they succeeded in taking down the first four hitters of the Seido High School baseball team.

But so what?

Facing an almost irresistible opponent, the players of the Mingchuan High School baseball team fell into deep confusion.

Ask yourself, they really have no way to be sure. Can they really take advantage of the opponent in front of them?
The answer is probably not yes.

But negative.

Their team's top two strong players were as immature as elementary school students when facing Fang Guxiao.

Although he swung the bat at every pitch, his bat was far from baseball.

The last ball was not touched.

"nice shot!"

"strike out!!"

One out, no one on base.

The die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team in the stands were worried when they first saw the Seido High School baseball team falling into a passive position.

Now it seems that these die-hard supporters are really unfounded.

The Qingdao High School baseball team has an ace like Akatsuki Furuya. It will not be easy to clean up the Mingchuan High School baseball team.

"You're dumbfounded, you're still far behind!"

"With your skills, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of the Qingdao High School baseball team?"

"Go eat x!!!"

The die-hard supporters in the stands immediately found their backbone.

At this time, the fifth batter of the Mingchuan High School baseball team was already in the batter's box.

The fifth player's name is Yang Shunchen, who was also the former ace of the Mingchuan High School baseball team.

It only took Akatsuki Furuya three balls to neutralize their momentum of getting lucky.

Not only that, the die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team in the stands also seemed to be even more excited!
Each one of them had eyes shining brightly.

It felt as if the Seido High School baseball team had already won this game.

Yang Shunchen stood on the strike zone and looked at Jiang Guxiao seriously.

Although the first-year pitcher of the Seido High School baseball team is very strong, he can definitely be called a monster.

But in Yang Shunchen's view, the more players like this seem to have outstanding personalities, the more likely they are to have problems.

As long as they find an opportunity, they may work together to completely eliminate each other.

But now it seems that their previous ideas were still too naive.

When a pitcher's certain qualities can really reach their peak, then he is a real monster on the court.

"We have to deal with this monster, we have to get points from him!"

Yang Shunchen, who originally wanted to drag down Gu Xiao's physical strength, came to a conclusion while observing Gu Xiao.

They must work together to completely solve this problem.

Otherwise, the longer it takes, the worse it will be for them.
