Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 185 A perfect mess! (-in-)

In the first half of the fourth inning, the Yakushima High School baseball team attacks!

"boom!!"

Before the actual duel between the two sides began, Hongleishi, who was standing on the strike zone, suddenly swung the bat without any warning.

The bat seemed to possess great power in this man's hands.

Even if he waved just once, it would bring great shock to the scene.

The other fans in the stands didn't have time to react.

The supporters of the Seido High School baseball team couldn't help but frown.

"What do you mean Mr. Kataoka?"

Of course they understand that the team wants to make substitutions.

Whether it's for their team's ace or the other pitchers on their team, this is a very good choice.

Ace can rest.

This way, the next time he takes the field, he can still maintain his peak pitching level.

It will not consume too much physical energy and avoid some risks of injury.

Put yourself in the shoes of other pitchers.

Being able to have actual combat experience will be of great benefit to them in the future.

Put yourself in the shoes of the entire team.

Such a replacement will undoubtedly make the Qingdao High School baseball team stronger!

It’s not that the fans in the stands don’t understand all this.

What they couldn't figure out was why Director Kataoka had to choose such a time?

There is no doubt that this is not a good time.

This is a huge risk for their team.

"Sawamura is only a first grader after all!"

"You can't say that, isn't our team's ace a first-year player?"

Someone spoke up for Sawamura.

Although he said this, the fans in the stands were also uneasy.

After all, not all first-year players can be as reliable as their ace when standing on the field.

At the very least, they don't have that kind of confidence in Sawamura.

In this way, the problem becomes very serious.

Whether spoken or not.

At this time, the supporters of the Seido High School baseball team undoubtedly lifted their hearts.

They are full of worries and uncertainties about the next game.

It was in this situation that Sawamura stepped onto the mound.

He could clearly feel how much pressure there was around him!

Coupled with Hongleishi's swing just now, it was almost like a show of force.

"Is this what it feels like to be an ace?"

The pharmacist, who was almost cornered, went completely crazy.

All the players on the Yakushi High School baseball team have the urge to knock the ball away.

As the representative of their team's hitters, Thunder City is the strongest.

His whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Compared to the ordinary fans in the stands, the main catcher of the Seido High School baseball team obviously understands his supervisor's motivations better?

As the champion of the Kanto Conference.

He is also the strongest candidate for the championship in this summer competition.

The thoughts of their team supervisor cannot only stay on this one game.

Then there are the semi-finals and finals.

On the premise of ensuring the team's victory, their supervisor must of course make complete preparations.

Not only to protect Fanggu Xiao, but also to train other players.

Thinking of this, Miyuki raised his head and looked at Sawamura.

"Maybe you haven't noticed it yet, but this is a very important test!"

At this point in time, Sawamura is put on the field.

This is of course important, but it is also a test.

If Sawamura can pass this test, he will even surpass Tanba and Kawakami and become the team's second main force.

This is very incredible.

Especially for the supervision of their team, this is even more unbelievable.

It felt like Sawamura didn't do anything.

But before he knew it, he had gained the attention of the supervisor.

Maybe it's Tanba-senpai's injury, or maybe it's because Kawakami isn't strong enough...

In short, no matter what the reason is, this fact has been formed.

What do you do in this situation?

Miyuki knelt down and opened his gloves.

Sawamura Eijun regained his posture and directly threw the baseball in his hand.

"boom!"

The baseball flies out very quickly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Miyuki.

When Miyuki saw this ball, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

This is not to say that Sawamura did not perform well.

The real situation is just the opposite. The quality of this ball is higher than before.

It's just that the direction of the baseball pitch is different from the ball Miyuki wants.

"Snapped!"

Hong Leishi, who has always been aggressive in swinging the bat, uncharacteristically did not take any action.

He seemed helpless as the baseball flashed by in front of him.

Miyuki, who received the ball, didn't show any surprise because of Sawamura's high pitching level.

On the contrary, he was very angry.

So much so that when he passed the ball back, it was faster than Sawamura's throw.

"Whoosh!"

This shocked Honglei City, who was standing on the strike zone.

He didn't expect it.

The Qingdao catcher's pass was actually faster than their pitcher's throw.

"Snapped!"

Sawamura, who received the ball, instantly realized his mistake.

Although he didn't say anything at the time.

But everyone can see his apology.

From then on, he only followed Kazuya Miyuki's instructions to pitch the ball.

In the dugout of the Seido High School baseball team.

When the friends saw this scene, they laughed happily.

From their point of view, they believe that Sawamura Eijun is not unjust at all.

"Miyuki's attitude towards the two first-year pitchers is completely different."

"There's nothing I can do about it. Who made Fang Gu's pitching so impeccable?"

Hearing everyone's ridicule, Chris, who was recording the game, slowly shook his head.

"It's not impeccable!"

When Chris said this, everyone looked at him strangely.

If it wasn't impeccable, why would that happen?

"It should be said that Fukitani-san knows what he wants? Does he know what he can do?"

"Although his pitching looks strong and incredibly strong. He doesn't have to think about anything and can crush others simply by relying on the speed of the ball."

"But in fact, Furitani-san has never done that."

After hearing what Chris said, Minister Ohta also believed deeply.

"Every shot he makes is well thought out."

"And his thoughtfulness was also recognized by Miyuki."

"Sawamura can't do it! When he encounters a strong opponent or a special situation, he is easily fooled. As a partner, Miyuki must ensure that he stays calm."

After hearing Chris' words, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Jiang Guxiao. Is the Akatsuki Furuya mentioned by Chris and Minister Ohta really the same person as the Akatsuki Furuya they know?

They suddenly became suspicious of this.

The play continued on the pitch, although there were initial problems.

However, under the guidance of Miyuki Kazuya, Sawamura Eijun quickly returned to his original rhythm.

But even so.

When he threw the third ball, he was still blown away by Thunder City.

"boom!"

"Ping!"

The baseball was like a cannonball, hitting the third base sideline directly.

Masuko didn't say anything. When he saw the baseball coming, his body acted one step ahead of his mind.

He jumped right down!

However, the baseball hit the ground first and bounced out.

Seeing this scene, the guys from the Qingdao High School baseball team felt their hearts beating faster.

"very scary!!"

Not to mention the fans in the stands.

They were directly and deeply shocked by this scene.

Even though they had thought about it a lot before.

The scene in front of them still made them feel very unreal.

"It's terrible, it's terrible!"

"How can it be so strong?"

They couldn't figure it out and could only blink.

The duel continued, and all the pressure seemed to be on Sawamura.

The fans in the stands, including the friends in the Qingdao rest area, couldn't help but worry about their companion.

There won't be any problems, right?

Just when everyone was thinking this, the white baseball was passed to Sawamura's hands.

The boy who had just been blasted out unexpectedly shot another ball without any hesitation.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing the baseball flying, Todoroki City was excited.

Although his brain is not very bright, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Hongleishi's vision.

During the duel between these two people, he had already roughly seen the characteristics of the opponent in front of him.

As a relief pitcher for the Seido High School baseball team, what makes first-year Sawamura Eijun stand out?

Mainly because he has two qualities.

The first is his weird pitching posture. Because his body covers his pitching arm, there is no way to see his release point from the batter's perspective.

In this way, from the batter's perspective, it will feel like he is pitching faster than the actual ball speed.

The second is his quirk ball.

Because of the softness of his arms, the ball thrown by Sawamura Eijun always has some unknown change.

This is undoubtedly very troublesome.

But this has actually happened.

Combining these two characteristics together, this pitcher named Sawamura Eijun is in some ways no easier to deal with than their ace.

“Baseball is so much fun!”

As long as you stand on the court, you can face off against a variety of opponents.

"Fly out!"

Honglei City was extremely excited.

So much so that the bat in his hand carried thunderous power.

"boom!!"

Seeing the momentum with which he swung the bat, many die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team trembled in their hearts.

There is no way, this opponent is really oppressive.

So that they will have an illusion unconsciously.

The baseball will be blown away!

He will be beaten out without mercy! !

This feeling is extremely clear, as if it will become reality in the next second.

However, their worries did not materialize in the end.

Hong Leishi's impressive swing didn't even touch the ball in the end?

Not to mention everyone else, Honglei City, who was fighting, was dumbfounded.

In order to hit the kind of irregular change ball, which is the so-called quirk ball.

He deliberately waited until the last moment of the baseball to swing.

But contrary to his expectation, the opponent did not use a quirk ball, but a pure straight ball.

The baseball didn't change at all as it flew over, and its speed was extremely fast.

So much so that Hongleishi's calculated swing ended up missing a step.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

"strike out!!!"

Sawamura Eijun just came on as a substitute, and just like Akatsuki Furuya before him, he successfully eliminated Todoroki City.

The fans in the stands who were originally very worried about him were completely relieved this time.

awesome!

I have to admit that the players on their team are really great.

Sawamura Eijun's performance can definitely be called amazing!

A stunning mess.

In the seating area of ​​the Seido High School baseball team, no one expected it.

Their feedback was even greater than when Fang Guxiao solved the other party!

This is also something that can't be helped.

When Akatsuki Fukutani defeated Thunder City, everyone was just amazed at the power of Akatsuki Fangtani's pitching.

for the final result.

In fact, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are fully mentally prepared.

So far, there is no problem that cannot be solved by their trump card.

The resolution of Honglei City only verified this point again.

There's not much to say about this in itself.

What really made them feel incredible was Sawamura Eijun.

Because they didn't expect it before, this time they will be even more surprised.

Owada Akiko, a beautiful reporter from Baseball Kingdom magazine, was obviously somewhat unexpected by the feedback from players and supporters of the Aomichi High School baseball team.

"Is the reaction too much?"

It is actually not surprising at all that this beautiful reporter would have such thoughts.

After all, the Seido High School baseball team is the champion of the Kanto Conference.

No matter from any aspect, it is natural that their players perform better.

After hearing his partner's words, Fujio shook his head helplessly.

"You still haven't understood the essence of this matter?"

"What essence?"

"Eijun Sawamura is not the ace of the Aomichi High School baseball team, but the substitute pitcher of their team. Can a team's substitute pitcher have such dominance on the court? Do you know what this means?"

"what?"

“That means a strong pitching staff!”

"The previous Seido High School baseball team has always had good strength and competitiveness. But every time when it comes to a critical moment, when they play against other teams, they always have to make a mistake. It is because of this , they have no way to break into Koshien!"

"At that time, it was not only the Seido High School baseball team who was summarizing it themselves, but many people were helping them sum it up, and the final conclusion was that they were lacking in pitching."

"In recent years, Qingdao has not been able to find a suitable pitcher."

"Perhaps they have accumulated too much bad luck, so this year they suddenly got lucky! They found a great pitcher!"

"You mean?"

"That's right, these are the two first-year players. Just Akatsuki Furuya has transformed them, and now adding Sawamura Eijun will make them even more powerful."

"This year's Aomichi High School baseball team is perfect! They will definitely set off a tornado in Nishi Tokyo and even Koshien!"
