Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 164 Cruel, so cruel! ([-]-in-[-])

The main catcher of the Mingchuan High School baseball team felt his heart beating loudly.

That rhythm is unprecedentedly powerful!
Although the score difference on the field is not big, so far, they are only one point behind their opponents.

Judging purely from the scores, it is not impossible for the players of the Mingchuan High School baseball team to find an opportunity to make a comeback.

On the baseball field, it is not uncommon to score a few points at once if you have a good chance!
But that's just in theory.

Mingchuan's players think so, but they are actually deceiving themselves.

The catcher of the Mingchuan High School baseball team knows this better than anyone else.

However, even so, at that moment, the catcher of the Mingchuan High School baseball team was still moved.

He saw ambition in his partner's eyes.

The opponent is the top powerhouse in the country, the Seido High School baseball team.

Not long ago, this team had just become the champions of the Kanto Conference.

They are so popular that almost no team can compete with them.

They are strong.

The more he plays against them, the main catcher of Mingchuan, the more he feels like this.

To be honest, if it were just from his own perspective, he would have just given up on the game.

This is definitely not him, he is cowardly and incompetent!

But the opponent in front of them is already stronger than they can understand...

Playing against such a team, no matter what they do on the court, they have no chance of winning in the end.

The players of the Mingchuan High School baseball team are not fools.

Naturally, they will not give up hope of winning the game easily...

This is the final judgment they made after calm thinking.

It was precisely because of their calm judgment that the players of the Mingchuan High School baseball team set themselves a relatively easy-to-achieve goal.

That is to score a hit first and score a run...

As for what happens next, it won't be too late to wait until they achieve this small goal before considering it.

The small goal of the richest man is [-] million.

But that is actually a number that many people cannot reach even after working hard all their lives.

From this perspective, when ordinary people set goals, they can also start by saving 100 yuan.

Then one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million...

Only when the first goal is achieved, the following goals will be more likely to be achieved.

in contrast.

If you can't even achieve the first goal, then the rest of the so-called goals are just castles in the air.

As a human being, you must face reality and see reality clearly...

The players of the Mingchuan High School baseball team obviously understand this theory better than anyone else.

But they also know that this is a goal set when they have lost hope of winning the game.

What if they have a chance to win the game?
Would the players on the Mingchuan High School baseball team still do this?
The answer is of course no.

Just like Yang Shunchen now, doesn't he know that the strength of the opponent in front of them is unimaginable?
But so what?
He is still determined to compete with this powerful opponent on the field.

"The only thing we can do is provide full support!"

"Go ahead and do it boldly. As long as we deal with this guy, we can see hope of winning."

"If you are still willing to believe in us, then we will be your strong backing..."

At this time, the entire feeling of the Mingchuan High School baseball team is completely different.

They are united and seem determined to take down the opponent in front of them.

In the rest area of ​​Qingdao.

A bunch of friends are scratching their heads.

As the champions of the Kanto Conference, what kind of opponents have the friends of the Seido High School Baseball Team not seen during their previous participation in the Kanto Conference?

They thought that with their mentality, no matter what kind of opponent they faced, they wouldn't be surprised?

On the contrary, maybe they can still make their opponents feel deep despair on the field.

Until I met the current Mingchuan High School baseball team.

To be honest, apart from their ace, this team doesn't have any very strong players.

Although Mingchuan's overall strength is good, it is not enough to cause headaches for the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

At most, the game progress will be slower.

But this is not intolerable to the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

The opponents they faced were both strong and weak.

Although the Mingchuan High School baseball team is not well-known, judging from their performance on the field.

The overall strength of this team is not weak.

Play the game slower and more steadily...

They can control the rhythm more perfectly.

In the eyes of the friends of the Seido High School baseball team, these are not too big of a problem.

At most, the players and fans can't stand it emotionally.

But now it seems that their opponents obviously do not intend to follow the script they wrote.

The opponent's fighting spirit is very high!

Even when facing Yuuki, everyone wanted to kill the captain of the Seido High School baseball team.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to their supervisor.

Their supervisor is so awesome!
Just before, Supervisor Kataoka issued an order for the players to face off against the opponent's ace.

We must defeat this guy named Yang Shunchen in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, the other party also did exactly the same thing as them.

"Then there's nothing more to say, just go all out!"

"team leader!!"

The friends of the Seido High School baseball team suddenly became energetic.

Their voices are so high-pitched that they make you feel like you wish you could play in person.

The players of the Mingchuan High School baseball team naturally had an illusion.

They feel as if they have fallen into a trap.

"Could it be that this is playing into the opponent's hands?"

The main catcher of the Mingchuan High School baseball team frowned and thought.

Looking at their ace on the mound, there seems to be no doubt about that.

This must be exactly what the Aomichi High School baseball team wants.

At the end of three games, the Qingdao High School baseball team only scored one point.

Their players probably couldn't bear it anymore.

"Only under such circumstances can we really attack the opponent's arrogance by solving the opponent's problem! Only then will the overall strength of their team be weakened and affected. Only then can we have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

As a precision machine, Yang Shunchen didn't know that it might be dangerous if he did this.

But he did it anyway.

In Yang Shunchen's view, their team is undoubtedly in a weak position in this game.

If you want to defeat the weak with the strong, how can it be possible without taking risks?

"Then let me meet you for a moment, the three powerful figures of Nishi Tokyo!"

Faced with Yuki standing in the strike zone, Yang Shunchen did not flinch at all.

He took a stance and threw the baseball in his hand.

"boom!"

His pitching speed is not slow, but Yuki's swing is extremely fast.

During the swing of the bat, the white baseball was blown away by the huge waves like a boat floating on the sea.

"Ping!"

Everyone stared at the baseball as it flew out.

Until the baseball hits the ground and bounces.

"The outside world!!"

A foul ball.

Although the power of Yuki's blow is breathtaking.

Seeing the ball flying out, everyone still frowned subconsciously.Something is wrong!

If the opponent is someone else, that's fine. Qingdao players and supporters won't be too worried.

But the current opponent is the guy named Yang Shunchen. Everyone has seen his ball control.

"It seems that the other party has already written the script!"

"Then it depends on whether director Yang Shunchen is more capable, or Yuki's attack is better?"

The two sides reached a stalemate.

The players on the Qingdao High School baseball team naturally fully support their captain.

But the next showdown was not very optimistic.

Yuki quickly hit the second foul ball.

The ball count was two good and one bad, and the batter was chased.

Faced with this bad situation, although the supporters of the Seido High School baseball team and the players of their team are eager to hope that Yuki can turn the tide.

But they also know in their hearts that this thing is simple to think of, but not so easy if they really want to do it.

If Yang Shunchen was so easy to solve.

With the abilities shown by the rest of the Mingchuan High School baseball team, there is no way they could reach this point.

It's even more impossible to get entangled with the Qingdao High School baseball team to such an extent.

Just when the friends couldn't help but worry about Yuki, the final ball showdown between the two began.

Yang Shunchen was full of confidence, and all his pitches were based on the script in his mind.

So his last ball must be the fourth bat of the Seido High School baseball team.

"Whoosh!"

The white baseball flew out, and it was the corner of the strike zone again.

Facing the flying baseball, Yuki held the bat tightly with both hands, found the right moment, and took action decisively.

"boom!"

The bat cut through the air, and the huge roar made the main catcher of the Mingchuan High School baseball team lose his mind for an instant.

"how come?"

He felt that the captain of the Seido High School baseball team was swinging the bat faster.

Yuuki's previous swing was still amazing.

Now, it’s even better!

What the hell is this monster?

"Ping!"

The baseball was swept away, drew a beautiful arc in the sky, fell to the outfield, and bounced out.

Until the baseball hit the ground, the fielders of the Mingchuan High School baseball team on the field were as if they were petrified.

They took no action.

It wasn't until the baseball hit the ground and bounced that these guys seemed to come to life again.

"Safety!"

But at this time, it was too late.

Yuuki rushed to second base in one breath.

No one out, man on second base.

In the stands, the die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team all had smiles on their faces.

Don't you think their worries are groundless?

Just now, many fans couldn't help but sweat for Tetsuya Yuki.

From their perspective, they actually thought that the captain of the Seido High School baseball team had encountered difficulties?

It's just a joke!

The excitement of the friends has not dissipated yet, the second batter of the Qingdao High School baseball team came on the field.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!!"

Masuko was on the field. The supporters of the Seido High School baseball team in the stands, as well as the crowd, didn't think Masuko could hit the ball.

Compared to the other players on the Seido High School baseball team, Masuko looks too bulky!

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone who can deal with Yang Shunchen.

However, this player that everyone was not optimistic about did not wait for a moment when faced with Yang Shunchen's pitching.

Masuko swept the ball away cleanly.

"Ping!"

And he even scanned it!
The white baseball soared into the sky, drew an arc in front of everyone, and fell to the outfield.

"A hit streak?"

Such an exciting scene even made the members of the Qingdao High School baseball team dumbfounded.

Not to mention those guys in the stands who thought Masuko must not be good!
At this moment, they were dumbfounded.

"We actually fought, how is that possible?"

Everyone said it was difficult to understand.

Of course, there are people who understand and see through the reason at a glance.

For example, take Fujio Fujio, a senior reporter at Baseball Kingdom magazine.

"Although the ace of the Mingchuan High School baseball team is not as mature as a high school student. But the blow just now shattered his previous understanding."

"Ok?"

Owada Akiko, who was overly concerned about Mr. Glasses, obviously didn't understand what their senior meant.

"It's very simple. Student Yang hasn't recovered from the previous blow. A new duel has begun!"

"In other words, the Qingdao High School baseball team was completely out of control and gave Yang a punch!"

"That's true. But it's really remarkable that the Aomichi High School baseball team was able to seize this fleeting opportunity."

Fujio nodded in praise.

The opportunity just now was fleeting.

Once Masuko missed the first ball, he probably wouldn't have the chance to hit classmate Yang's pitch so smoothly.

It seems like a fluke.

However, Masuko seized this slightest opportunity.

Not only did he seize the opportunity, he also hit the ball out with all his strength.

It can be seen from this small detail how hard the Qingdao High School baseball team trains.

"Although the Mingchuan High School baseball team has played pretty well so far! But the gap between the two sides has almost become highlighted..."

For the players of the Mingchuan High School baseball team, no matter how good they perform on the field, some things cannot be changed.

For example, the gap in strength between the two sides.

Following the outfield hit just now, Tetsuya Yuki ran directly back to home plate.

The score on the field also became 2:0.

The score of 2:0 is already very heavy for the players of the Mingchuan High School baseball team.

But Qingdao's attack has not stopped yet.

Kazuya Miyuki stepped into the batter's box next, with no one out and someone on second base.

Got a nice timely hit straight away.

Although the baseball hit was not far away, the placement was very clever.

So much so that when Masuko returned to home plate, the baseball was not even returned.

"Three in a row!"

"Too brutal!"

"To be honest, the ace of the Mingchuan High School baseball team is definitely not bad!"

"The way he handles the ball, even if you look around the country, not many pitchers can do it."

"It's just a pity that he happened to meet Qingdao!"

A clean triple hit directly helped the Seido High School baseball team score two points.

The score on the field also became 3:0.

Even until this time, Qingdao's attack did not stop.

"Seventh bat, pitcher, No. [-], Akatsuki Fukitani-san!"
