Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 191 Director Kataoka’s trust

Chapter 191 Supervisor Kataoka’s Trust (-in-)

"Ping!!"

When the baseball was knocked out, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.

They watched the baseball soar into the sky, but they didn't know where the baseball would land?

Thunder City in the strike zone seemed to be very satisfied after hitting the ball.

He actually stood on the strike zone and laughed.

It wasn't until he was reminded by his father that this naive boy remembered, what should he do at this time?

The boy quickly threw away the bat and ran forward quickly.

"Is this guy an idiot?"

The buddies from the Seido High School baseball team in the stands were asking the same soul torture as Todoroki Raizo.

They had never encountered an opponent with such a reaction before.

The ball was actually knocked out by such a fool?

Just thinking about this makes the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team feel extremely annoyed inside.

"Outfielder!"

Not only Sawamura, but also many friends from the Qingdao High School baseball team were chasing the small white ball.

They are extremely complex inside.

Although they already had a bad premonition in their hearts.

But at this time, the players and supporters of the Seido High School baseball team still sincerely hope that baseball can fall early.

Fang Guxiao, who felt very keenly, had already started to retreat even before Honglei City struck.

Although he did not retreat completely to the back of the court, he was very far back.

From his position, he could reach the edge of the wall in time.

Isashiki Jun, who had a mustache, also shouted a reminder when he saw that the baseball was about to fall.

"This ball is deeper than expected, stay back!!"

As long as the baseball drops early, they have a chance.

The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, as well as the die-hard supporters of their team, have never doubted this.

Their trust in Jiang Guxiao has already reached a level that cannot be increased.

All of them firmly believe that as long as the baseball falls, Akatsuki Furuya can catch it.

And all Qingdao players and supporters don't think there is anything wrong with their ideas.

This is the feeling that their current ace, Gu Xiao, brings to everyone.

Even Sawamura is no exception to this.

When he saw the baseball being knocked out, the young man was visibly panicked.

Director Kataoka gave him so much trust.

Obviously following the tactics they had discussed before, Sawamura should have returned to the rest area by this time.

He should take his spot on the mound.

But Director Kataoka didn't do that.

Even the other friends on the Seido High School baseball team seemed to firmly believe that he would be able to turn the situation around.

However, under such circumstances, he failed to live up to everyone's expectations.

His pitch was knocked away mercilessly.

It's natural for him to feel flustered.

It wasn't until he saw Akatsuki Fukitani that Sawamura felt a little relieved.

Although the two of them can be regarded as each other's competitors to some extent.

But Sawamura Eijun never doubted that Akatsuki Fukitani would cause trouble at this time.

At the same time, he also believed.

As long as the baseball falls, that monster-like guy will definitely be able to stop the ball.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Fugu Akatsuki noticed that the baseball's landing point was further back than his own position.

He quickly turned around and ran behind him.

From the perspective of other players, they can't tell at all whether the ball lands outside the wall or inside the wall?

But Fang Guxiao is different.

He was so close to baseball that he saw it better than anyone else.

The ball's impact point had already exceeded the wall.

If he does nothing else, this is a bona fide home run.

Such a home run will definitely affect the course of today's game to a great extent.

"Can't let it fall!"

Having made up his mind, Jiangu Xiao suddenly accelerated when he was only a few meters away from the wall.

After accelerating, he stepped on the wall, and then the power of climbing upwards turned his body around.

At the same time, his glove was also trying its best to reach for the baseball.

By this time, people had actually discovered that the ball would fall outside the wall.

to be honest.

The ball would land in the outfield stands and become a real home run.

This is a super critical hit! ! !

However, such a super critical hit now creates suspense.

Fang Guxiao's gloves concern the hearts of everyone present.

They stared at the glove like children, and then watched helplessly as the glove was more than ten centimeters away from the baseball.

Jiang Guxiao returned without success.

The white baseball passed over his glove and landed in the stands.

"Snapped!"

The baseball that landed on the stands bounced directly out.

A fan with sharp eyes and quick hands immediately caught the ball.

He raised his hands excitedly.

Contrary to his excitement, the players and supporters of the Seido High School baseball team turned very ugly.

At this point in the game, they were about to win the game.

They even have a high chance of ending the game early.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, they were hit hard by the other party.

The score on the court became 6:1!

The commentator of this game gave people the impression that he was about to have a climax.

Maybe it's because the previous games were too bland.

Although the players from both teams performed very well, they also played to their strengths.

But from the commentator's point of view, the excitement of this game is definitely not enough.

Who wants to watch a one-sided game?

If the two sides change, the dark horse will be on the field to tyrannize the giants.

The emotions of the fans in the stands may be a little higher.

But the situation now is completely different. The wealthy clubs are suppressing the dark polo team.

Who would be willing to watch such a game without any disturbance?

Because of this, the commentators were listless when commentating on the game.

None of them expected that the game would suddenly undergo such a change?

The pharmacist, who was about to be struck into isolation, suddenly exploded.

Their first pitch was a home run bomber.

Because in the previous games, the gap between the two sides was too big. So much so that this point doesn't seem to be that important.

But is this really the case?

of course not.

The most important significance of this point does not lie in that point.

But the momentum of a player on the Yakushi High School baseball team.

When they were beaten by the Seido High School baseball team before, no matter how good the players of the Yakushima High School baseball team were in their psychological adjustment.

They also had to admit a fact.

The morale of their team is not high.

Compared to the previous game, they played against the city's junior high baseball team.

There are serious problems with their entire spirit at this time.

Originally, the super dark horse Yakushi High School baseball team might have had a chance.

But the pharmacist, who was almost defeated, obviously had no way to seize such an opportunity.

But it’s different now!

With the unexpected home run, the mentality of all the players on the Yakushima High School baseball team also changed.

And this change is not a small change.

This change is very big, and can even be described as big and scary.

In the dugout of the Seido High School baseball team.

Everyone couldn't say anything about Jiang Guxiao's performance just now.

That kind of thrilling save has a very slim chance of success.

They can't blame Jiang Guxiao for not working hard enough. In fact, the fact that Fanggu Xiao can make such an action is already very impressive.

As for Sawamura.

There is actually no problem with Sawamura's pitching.

The fans in the stands, because they were too far away, could only see the result.

But the guys on the Seido High School baseball team are different.

Although they didn't see the whole thing, they saw part of it.

And this part is still very critical.

The pitch Sawamura threw didn't even hit the strike zone.

His and Miyuki's plan was to use bad balls to seduce Todoroki Ichi into swinging the bat.

The whole process was very smooth.

The position of the pitch and the final result of the pitch were exactly as they predicted.

Hongleishi really couldn't hold back and shot directly at the ball.

It's just beyond everyone's expectations.

The ball he hit was obviously a bad ball, but he managed to knock the bad ball back into the court.

Not only that, he hit the ball right up there for a home run.

"You actually hit a bad ball into a home run?"

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, even if someone told their friends on the Seido High School baseball team, they wouldn't believe such a thing.

But now, this kind of thing is really happening in front of them.

Not only the players in the dugout were shocked.

Miyukiichi also had a look of astonishment.

The entire duel process was almost exactly the same as what he had rehearsed in his mind.

But he didn't expect that such a ball could fly out?

“Incredible!!”

Looking at the back of Honglei City laughing wildly, Miyuki Kazuya sighed once again.

Feelings are feelings.

Miyuki Kazuya still knew very well what he should do at this time.

This pressure is too much, and Sawamura will definitely not be able to bear it.

So he couldn't let Sawamura bear this pressure.

The main catcher of the Seido High School baseball team took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility.

"It's my ball matching problem, your pitching is fine."

What Miyuki Kazuya said is true.

The other friends from the Qingdao High School baseball team also stood up one after another.

"no problem, no problem!"

"Calm down and take another good shot."

"The power of your pitching has not decreased at all!"

The second- and third-year players of the Seido High School baseball team were very heart-warming in their actions when their teammates on the team were in crisis.

However, Todoroki Raizo in the dugout of the Yakushima High School baseball team didn't think this was of any use!

Or even the opposite.

He believes that such an considerate Qingdao player is not only unable to help Akatsuki Fangtani overcome difficulties.

If not, it might even put more pressure on this little guy.

"If I could shoot better, wouldn't the result be different? The more warm and comforting the seniors are, the more I blame myself. Not every first-year player can be like Xiao Fanggu. Yours Is it a lot of pressure?”

Todoroki Raizo locked eyes firmly on Sawamura, as if he could see through all of this guy's thoughts.

Until now, their team is actually still in a very disadvantageous situation.

But Todoroki Raizo didn't seem too concerned about this situation.

in contrast.

He firmly believed that there must be new changes in the situation.

The score on the court is already 6:1.

Their score difference is five points.

Although there are not many games left.

But the five-point gap is not absolutely impossible for them to recover.

"It's up to you, Qiuye! As long as you can give the opponent a hard blow at this time!"

Akiha, the second hitter on the Yakushima High School baseball team, didn't hesitate at all when hitting.

"Ping!"

He swept the ball away cleanly.

Then the whole person ran to second base in one go.

No one out, second base occupied.

"Haha, it's finally my turn to play!!"

Mishima came up next to the rest, and Mishima pushed out his big belly.

The aura in him exploded to the extreme in just a short moment.

When the baseball came flying, he swung without hesitation.

"Ping!!"

The baseball was blown away.

Although the outfielder of the Seido High School baseball team reacted very quickly.

They eventually took a step too slow.

"Snapped!"

As the baseball bounced off the ground, Akiha ran straight back to home plate.

Mishima also ran to first base.

At this point, the score on the court became 6:2.

The score difference between the two sides is only four points.

There was something wrong with Sawamura's pitching form.

Everyone firmly believes that Director Kataoka is about to order a replacement.

The supervisor did not do that.

He seemed to still have faith in Sawamura's strength.

His intention to train this player was almost for the sake of fame.

Until Yaoshi's fourth bat, the ball flew away.

The baseball bounces.

The situation on the field has also changed, no one is out and there are people on first and third base.

Not only the three first-year monsters, but also the other players on the Yakushima High School baseball team were able to hit Sawamura's ball one after another.

When things got to this point, Director Kataoka couldn't bear it anymore.

He proposed a substitution.

"The Aomichi High School baseball team changes pitchers, Sawamura-san comes off and Kawakami-san comes on!"

Sawamura, who was completely defeated, was in a state of disbelief when he came back.

Director Kataoka frowned.

"As a first-year pitcher, no one expects you to be perfect and not miss a hit during the pitching process! You just need to perfectly show your strength on the field. Especially after the ball is knocked out..."

Until this time, Director Kataoka was teaching earnestly.

How much does he expect from Sawamura Eijun?

This can be seen.

It's just that at this time, Sawamura couldn't listen to it at all.

After losing two points, he was filled with self-blame.

Why is this happening?

The young man couldn't understand this problem and was confused.

Director Kataoka said nothing more.

There are some issues that he has to figure out for himself after all.

When Kawakami takes the field, he will naturally have to pay attention to the changes on the court.

Director Kataoka has not seen the changes on the court for the time being.

But he could clearly see the changes in the fans in the stands.
