Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 176 Qingdao, destroy your opponent! (-in-)

In the second half of the inning, the Seido High School baseball team went on offense.

"Hee-hop!!"

Kuramochi Yoichi looked confident when he stepped into the strike zone.

It feels as if he has already hit the ball.

In the dugout of the Yakushi High School baseball team.

A group of players looked at each other.

"When I watched their game videos before, was this person very strong?"

"He doesn't seem to have much performance..."

"Then why is he so confident?"

Kuramochi's confident expression makes people feel overflowing.

"Who knows? Maybe this guy is born with confidence!"

"He is just a little faster. As long as we can grasp his weaknesses and prevent him from hitting the ball, it will be easy to deal with him."

Sanada, who was sitting in the dugout, had not yet played, let alone served as their team's main pitcher.

But the players on the Yakushima High School baseball team were convinced by his judgment.

"Then there's nothing to worry about!"

"Go all out to deal with him, senior!!"

The dugout of the Yakushima High School baseball team erupted in support.

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Todoroki Raizo swallowed the words of cold water on his lips.

It is very important to remind these young guys.

But compared to their current rare momentum, that kind of reminder might be counterproductive.

In this case, he still kept his mouth shut and waited peacefully.

on the field.

The starting pitcher of the Yakushima High School baseball team is a third-year player. His body looks very strong, and he seems to be quite untouchable.

But his teammates on the Seido High School baseball team seemed extremely relieved when they saw him playing.

Sanada, who was feared by his friends, did not play directly.

This also verified in disguise a previous guess made by Qingdao partners.

The first person to propose this speculation was their team's current record keeper, mixed-race player Chris.

He believed that the reason why Sanada Junpei did not play directly was not because they looked down on the city's senior high school students, but because the Yakushima High School baseball team had to do so.

"why?"

Faced with questions from his own minister, Chris made two guesses.

"Either he was injured before and has not fully recovered yet. Or his physical strength is not enough to sustain the nine-inning game!"

Now it seems that Chris' analysis is almost prophetic.

The partners of the Seido High School baseball team also formulated corresponding countermeasures for this situation.

The starting pitcher of the Yakushima High School baseball team, no matter how ostentatious he was, Kuramochi didn't take it seriously.

At this time, the leading hitter of the Seido High School baseball team had obviously made up his mind.

"Throw it over! As long as you throw the ball over, I will make you regret it!"

Just when Kuramochi secretly made up his mind, a white baseball suddenly flew out.

It was obvious that the starting pitcher of the Yakushima High School baseball team was not a stable person.

On the contrary, he is somewhat impatient.

The referee just signaled that he had to throw the ball out as soon as possible.

"Good come!"

Seeing the baseball flying over, Kuramochi's eyes sparkled.

He did not use a bunt, but used all his strength to hit the flying baseball directly.

"Ping!"

The intelligence previously investigated by the Yakushima High School baseball team was not wrong.

Compared to his speed, Kuramochi's striking strength can only be considered average.

But this generally has a prerequisite.

This refers to the time when their opponents are the top giants in the country.

The starting pitcher of the Yakushima High School baseball team obviously has no way to reach this level.

Kuramochi's striking strength was suddenly highlighted by this opportunity.

"Ping!"

The white baseball was knocked out and bounced on the ground.

The outfielders of the Yakushima High School baseball team were not slow to respond.

When they saw the baseball bounce on the ground, they rushed over and picked it up immediately.

"Pretty!"

Players on the Pharmacy High School baseball team, and supporters of their team.

When I see my fielder performing, I can't help but applaud my fielder.

As for the wonderful performance of their fielders, not necessarily one or two out of ten times, it is definitely a super level performance.

However, even so, when they faced Kuramochi, they were still defeated.

Wait for the fielder to turn his head and try to pass the ball.

He was very surprised to find that Kuramochi, who was still running wildly, was less than 5 meters away from the first base bag?

By the time he got into position and tried to pass the ball, it was already too late.

"Snapped!"

"Safety!"

No one out, first base man.

"Hip, nice hit!!"

Kuramochi, who was standing on first base, raised his arms excitedly.

Mishima, who was at first base, turned purple.

"You have the nerve to call it a hit, but it's obviously a stolen base?"

Kuramochi, who had just run wildly, felt like a flying cheetah to him.

Too scary!

Almost in the blink of an eye, he appeared directly in front of him?

Baseball hadn’t even arrived yet!

Every time he thought of the scene just now, Mishima felt a chill on his back.

They have already played against the city's junior high baseball team before.

And in the end they won the game.

The third director and many people on the Yakushi High School baseball team firmly believe that they have understood what the top wealthy teams in the country are all about?

Competing against such an opponent again, even if everyone is still anxious, they feel a little more confident and confident than before.

After all, there are some things that they have seen before!

But now, Mishima suddenly had his confidence shaken.

Although they had already played against one of the top teams in the country before, that didn't seem to explain anything.

Even among wealthy teams, there are differences in themselves.

Their styles are different, and the characteristics of their players are even different.

"Is this the intimidating power of the top giants in the country? It will not be the same against any giant..."

Thinking of this, Mishima suddenly grinned widely.

"I made a mistake before, and I have to make up for it no matter what. This opportunity is so rare!"

The stronger the opponent is, the more the gap between him and those ordinary people will be highlighted.

Mishima suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with having a stronger opponent?

"Is this guy sick?"

Got himself on base! No matter how it happened, it couldn't be a good thing for the Medicine High School baseball team.

It may even put great pressure on their team.

Under such unfavorable circumstances, the first baseman of the Yakushima High School baseball team actually broke into a big grin?

Like a fool.

Kuramochi moved subconsciously, wanting to stay away from this idiot.

However, as soon as he took action, the starting pitcher of the Yakushima High School baseball team passed the ball over without stopping.

Kuramochi, who had just moved, quickly fell down.

"Safety!"

He had to admit that although the starting pitcher of the Yakashi High School baseball team had average pitching ability.     But the training was very thorough.

His ability to contain runners is not even inferior to that of pitchers from top teams.

Just when this thought came to Kuramochi's mind, the pitcher took action again.

He regained his posture and threw the baseball in his hand.

The man on the strike zone had a smile on his face. When he saw the baseball flying, he also smiled and waved the bat in his hand.

"Ping!"

After being hit, the white baseball drew an arc in the sky and finally fell to the outfield.

Kuramochi was so fast that he passed second base first and ran directly to third base.

Ryosuke Kominato, who was in the batter's box, ran up to first base without stopping after hitting the ball.

"Safety!"

"Safety!!"

The situation became one with no outs and players on first and third base.

In the stands, the fans who came specially to support the Yakashi High School baseball team were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

To be honest, this was far from what they had expected.

"how so!"

"Haven't they already beaten one of the top clubs in the country? Why are they still so passive against the Seido High School baseball team?"

"There is a difference between the top giants in the country and the top giants in the country. Before, they defeated only one of the three giants in Nishitokkyo, but now they are competing against them, but they are the champions of the Kanto Conference! Even among the top giants in the country, they can become Kanto The conference champion team is also second to none!”

Soon, someone analyzed the reason.

Is the Yakushima High School baseball team really as weak as everyone thinks?

The answer is of course no.

Why is this happening on the court today?

There is no one reason.

That is their opponent, too strong!

"No chance?"

Supporters of the Yakushima High School baseball team looked at each other with despair in their eyes.

On the other hand, the supporters of the Seido High School baseball team were all elated.

There is nothing more satisfying than admiring your opponent's misfortune and despair.

"Who do you think your opponent is?"

"We are Qing Dao! King Qing Dao!!!"

However, these die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team seemed to be a little too happy.

Just when they thought they were about to score.

Jun Isashiki, who performed extremely well in the last game, was caught and killed by his opponent.

He had already chosen the angle and planned the timing of his swing.

Until the baseball flew over, he swung the bat and hit the ball.

All of this was normal. Isajiki threw away the bat and was ready to run forward.

His ball landed just to the left of the third baseman's head.

The baseball is nearly three meters above the ground.

And it flies extremely fast!

According to Senior Mustache’s previous experience, it was certain that this ball would be hit.

And if the baseball lands behind third base, even if it flies a short distance, it's enough to turn into a long hit!

By then, not only Kuramochi will be able to come back, but even the smiling Kominato Ryosuke might be able to come back with him.

It was a solid, well-timed hit.

However, such a scene did not appear. Just when the baseball was about to fly out, a figure that looked like a flying fish suddenly came out.

He is not tall, but his jumping ability is too strong.

This ball was actually blocked by him.

"Snapped!"

"Jie Jie, Jie Jie Jie!!!"

Before, when people heard Honglei City's strange laughter, they either felt disgusted or secretly laughed at it.

But by this time.

Whether they are supporters of the Seido High School baseball team or their players, they almost all have psychological shadows.

Terrible, terrible!

It was a creepy feeling, one that the players and supporters of the Seido High School baseball team, once experienced, never wanted to experience again.

"Where did this monster come from?"

They really can't understand this, and their heads are full of question marks.

With one out, there are players on first and third base.

The Seido High School baseball team's originally smooth offensive attack was cut off in the middle.

The players and supporters of the Yakushima High School baseball team were all extremely excited.

They are saved!

Not only were they saved, the momentum of their entire team seemed to have risen to a higher level.

This feeling, even for them, is incredible.

"Keep working hard and finish them off in one go!"

"Two outs left!!"

Just because of this one kill, people firmly remembered the name of Honglei City.

Although his terrifying swing has not yet achieved any results.

But his performance at third base is enough to be remembered.

In the dugout of the Qingdao High School baseball team, everyone's expressions were not good.

"A good pot of soup was ruined like this?"

Looking around, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were somewhat unconvinced.

"It's not that simple! Although the impact of this accident is great, if we want to truly interrupt our offensive, this alone is not enough."

Chris spoke, and Miyukiichi nodded in agreement.

With the two of them as guarantees, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team suddenly became quiet.

They don’t have to believe other people’s inferences.

But the judgments of these two people are based on intuition or something else.

The friends of the Seido High School baseball team believed that their judgment would not be wrong.

"The fourth bat, No. 3, first baseman, Yuuki-san!"

Just as the friends were gradually regaining their confidence, the captain of their team stepped into the strike zone.

The pharmacist's starting pitcher, who had just scored one out, seemed full of momentum.

He regained his posture and threw the baseball in his hand.

"Qingdao, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

He wanted to use practical actions to convey a message to the players of his team in the field and the supporters of his team in the stands.

This game, there are more to fight!

However, at this moment, the baseball came to the batter.

With an expressionless expression on his face, Yuki held the bat tightly with both hands and hit the flying baseball unceremoniously.

"boom!"

During the swing of the bat, the sound of breaking through the air made the catcher who was squatting in the catcher's position dumbfounded.

"How come it's so fast?"

"Ping!"

Then he watched helplessly as the baseball was knocked out.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.

It wasn't until the baseball bounced off the ground that the players on the Yakushima High School baseball team reacted.

But by the time they reacted, it was already too late.

Kuramochi, return to home base!

Even Ryosuke Kominato, who plays first base, has successfully run back to home plate.

"One out, man on second base!"

The score on the field became 2:0.
