Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 202 Shock from Kataoka

Seeing the supervisor walking onto the pitcher's mound, the friends of the Seido High School baseball team were stunned.

They didn't expect that today's showdown would be so exciting?

"The supervisor will vote in person, is that okay?"

The first-year freshman couldn't help but ask such questions.

"You don't know this. Even though our supervisor is like that, his level is professional!"

Unlike the first-year students, the second- and third-year seniors have all seen them supervising pitching more than once.

"Then how to fight?"

"Suddenly I felt a little sympathy for those guys in the First Army..."

"You're so embarrassed, you still sympathize with me! If you have the ability to join the army, it's not too late for you to sympathize with me!"

The expressions on the faces of the boys on the Qingdao High School baseball team were more or less solemn.

For them, this test is undoubtedly very big.

Especially those players who are not particularly confident in themselves, let them stand on the field and face off against their own supervisors.

In their hearts, they were still somewhat uneasy.

They don't know how they will perform.

"Are you scared?"

Director Kataoka stood on the tall pitcher's mound, looking at his disciples.

The main player of the Qingdao High School baseball team immediately puffed up his chest.

Something else they can admit.

But fear and fear will never be recognized by them.

In an involutionary environment like the Seido High School baseball team, each of them is able to stand out.

In addition to their powerful talents, they have also developed an extremely strong heart.

Some people even couldn't hold it any longer and began to eagerly try.

"I'm the first!"

Seeing the figure who took the initiative to stand up, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were not surprised at all.

He is the captain of the Aomichi High School baseball team, Tetsuya Yuki!

The current captain of the Seido High School baseball team, if we simply talk about his talent as a captain, he is not particularly qualified.

Whether it's leading the team or helping to inspire the players.

He is just average.

Yuki himself also knows this.

So when the team selected him as captain, he had seriously sought out the supervisor and specifically discussed this topic.

He firmly believes that given his personality, he is not qualified for the position of captain.

But the supervisor told him that making him the captain of the team was not based on his ability to manage the team.

"We are the top club in the country, and the school has equipped our team with all the facilities. Even all kinds of support are perfect. The training of the players is the responsibility of supervision and coaches. As for psychological guidance, They are all led by the seniors in their respective dormitories. The reason why we chose you to be the captain is because of your strength!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know anything! As long as you can use your strength to lead everyone forward, that's all."

He, the captain, is more like a spiritual idol than a captain.

The pressure of these words is undoubtedly very great.

If it were anyone else, he might even collapse under the pressure.

But Yuuki didn't.

Ever since he became the captain of the Qingdao High School baseball team, he has been practicing what the supervisor told him.

Use strong strength to lead the juniors and lead the team forward.

Just like now, facing the terrifying supervision, he didn't flinch at all.

Instead, he put on a posture of trying to hit the ball away no matter what.

The momentum surging from him even changed the players' minds to a great extent.

"Perhaps the real pity is not the players of Yijun, but our supervisors!"

It’s not surprising that such thoughts would pop up in their minds.

After all, the Seido High School baseball team's lineup is very famous across the country.

"Come on, I can't wait too!"

The mustachioed senior followed closely behind.

"Ugh, ugh!!"

Masuko-senpai, who has never been very fond of talking, was also gearing up at this time.

“How many pitches should I ask the supervisor to throw?”

Kominato Ryosuke, with a smile on his face, is also planning something that will make everyone sweat.

"Is this guy the devil crawling out of hell?"

"That's the supervisor of our team. Does he also want to fight in that way?"

Yuki, who was the first to play, stood motionless in the batter's box.

When the supervisor pitched the ball, he hit the bat out without hesitation.

"boom!"

As the bat swung, a small whirlwind blew up in the strike zone.

The Qingdao friends who watched this scene were all stunned.

As expected of their captain, he is ruthless.

Even if the opponent is supervised by them, he will go all out.

"Ping!"

After the baseball was hit, it flew directly to the outfield.

"Well done!"

"As expected of the captain!!!"

Several first-year players on the Seido High School baseball team couldn't help but cheer for the captain.

But soon, they stopped laughing.

Director Kataoka cast a cold look, and everyone seemed to have their throats stuck in their throats instantly, unable to speak a word.

"High fly in the outfield, caught and killed!"

After hearing the supervisor's words, the first-year students who had been warned couldn't help but curl their lips.

There is no one on guard now. It would be a bit shameful to supervise...

But the other players on the Qingdao High School baseball team, especially the players from the First Army, didn't show any sign.

Heart to heart.

That ball just now, if it had been during a real game, would have probably flown out.

Then it will be a long fight!

But if it were a player from their Aomichi High School baseball team who went to the outfield to field, the situation might be completely different.

To put it bluntly, they are sure of this.

They can catch that ball.

Whether it's Mr. Mustache or Akatsuki Fukitani, including Hakushu and Itai.

There is a high probability that you can get it.

Their next opponent is the powerful Xianquan High School.

Although their understanding of the Xianquan High School players is not particularly detailed.

But from the opponent's performance in recent years, as well as the news they heard in their ears, plus their analysis by watching game videos.

The opposing outfielders are not much worse than them in terms of fielding ability.

It can even be said that the other party already has the comprehensive strength of a quasi-rich family.

On that shot just now, Director Kataoka’s judgment couldn’t be considered bad.

He will indeed be killed!

Immediately after Mustache-senpai came on stage, Captain Yuuki wanted to continue fighting...

"Each person plays one seat, and you take turns playing!"

Supervisor Kataoka decisively issued the order.

He doesn't want the players to bear too much at once, and they must learn to think after the duel is over.

When the mustachioed senior hit, he could only barely hit the infield rebound.

Needless to say, the result of such a ball.

He was out naturally!

After that, there is Masuko-senpai.

However, the fate of this senior was not much better.

Although Sawamura Eijun kept encouraging him. He still missed two swings and ended up with an infield fly.

"Out!"

In just a short time, several third-year seniors on the Qingdao High School baseball team had been wiped out.

This made the onlookers dumbfounded.

"what's up?"

"Isn't the supervisor a bit too strong?"

You must know that their team's line play is very powerful even in the Kanto Conference.

Why are you so vulnerable in front of their supervision?

"You know, this is not the pitch that the supervisor is best at! He is just imitating Maki's curveball!"

Thinking of this, the little friends all felt as if there was something stuck in their throats.

They all have difficulty breathing.

Is such a high-drop curveball so scary?

You must know that their supervisors are just imitating.

What would be the result if Maki played in person?

Just thinking about this makes people feel uneasy.

According to their supervisor's previous arrangement, Fang Guxiao will not be allowed to play in tomorrow's game at all.

In this case, wouldn't it be equivalent to gathering together all the disadvantages to them?

Just when the friends were feeling anxious, they suddenly heard the comfort from Chris and Miyuki.

"Don't worry too much. The one named Maki won't be able to compare with our supervisor."

"why?"

Of course, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team couldn't agree with what he said simply.

"Because he is not the supervisor of Qingdao, his understanding of our team is certainly not as good as our supervision."

Supervised pitching is certainly powerful!

But he has defeated so many third-year players in a row, obviously not relying solely on his high-drop curveball.

What Supervisor Kataoka really relies on is his understanding of his disciples.

The position where he just threw the ball is the position that players are least good at.

The placement of the pitch is the worst position, and the pitch itself is a curveball with a high drop.

Combining the two, it is not surprising that the third-year seniors of the Seido High School baseball team are unlucky one after another.

It's like a teacher hitting a student in a martial arts field.

Unless the students are far more powerful than the teacher, it will be difficult to compare.

With the revelation of Chris and Miyuki.

Everyone also understands that the pitching they oversee is not as good as they thought?

However, even so, the pressure they displayed on the pitcher's mound was too strong.

There are so many third-year seniors, so many of them are invincible in their eyes.

When faced with their supervision again, there was no resistance whatsoever.

Would it be possible to replace them on the field?

Everyone couldn't help but have self-doubt.

When Ryosuke Kominato left the stage, the scene actually turned cold.

"Who's coming next?"

Different from the enthusiasm just now, no one took the initiative to stand up this time.

"Do you need me to name you before you have the courage to step forward?"

Director Kataoka said.

After hearing this, Fang Guxiao didn't care that there were still second and third grade seniors who were not playing.

He stood up immediately.

"Let me do it!"

Seeing Akatsuki Fukitani standing up, many second- and third-year players were upset.

They only hesitated for a few tenths of a second.

This opportunity to shine was snatched away by Jiang Guxiao.

The previous third-grade seniors can simply be counted as one generation.

And what will come next is a new generation.

Akatsuki Fukutani did not compete with his predecessors, but he eventually became the leader of the new generation.

Even further ahead than Mikoichi.

"I'll mix in the straight shots!"

Director Kataoka nodded with satisfaction.

The supervisor of the Qingdao High School baseball team was very satisfied with Akatsuki Fukitani's initiative to stand up.

He couldn't help it and directly increased the difficulty.

Fang Gu didn't say anything. After he stood in the strike zone, he raised the bat in his hand high.

According to Jiang Gu's original thoughts, he was actually not willing to take advantage of talent.

Taking hitting as an example, he had always carefully analyzed the opponent's intelligence and even guessed the opponent's pitches.

Then choose one and wait for the baseball to hit it.

The entire attack routine is similar to Miyukiichi.

When he was in junior high school, he also used this attack method and achieved good results.

But as he entered high school, things seemed to change.

The opponent's strength is getting stronger and stronger.

After hitting according to the previous method, Jiang Gu found that his hit success rate was gradually decreasing.

What should I do?

As a player who is not willing to just be a pitcher, of course he has to take action.

From that moment on, he began to think of new ways to hit.

After many tests.

Fang Guxiao was very surprised to find that his best attack strategy was completely different from what he originally thought.

Not the same thing at all.

"Empty your mind, focus on the baseball, and feel it with your body! When the baseball comes, don't think about anything and swing the bat!"

This is all of Jiang Guxiao's attack routines.

There are no routines, it’s all about instinct!

"The posture is good, then you should try it!"

On the pitcher's mound, Kataoka threw the baseball in his hand with all his strength.

"Whoosh!"

The speed of baseball is extremely fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Jiang Guxiao.

"so fast!"

The friends of the Seido High School baseball team were filled with emotion.

The ball speed is probably over 140.

However, just as they were amazed, another scene that made them unbelievable appeared.

Fang Guxiao didn't even observe.

Facing the first ball thrown by the supervisor, he took action decisively.

"Don't see with your eyes, feel with your body! Now!!!"

Seeing the baseball flying over, Akatsuki Furuya took a step forward.

Then the bat in his hand whizzed out.

His swing this time was more natural than ever before.

It seemed like everything fell into place.

The bat accurately hit the baseball, and the white baseball flew away fiercely.

"Ping!"

The friends of the Seido High School baseball team were shocked when they saw the baseball flying out.

The impact of this blow was even more shocking than Captain Yuki's.

Even Director Kataoka subconsciously widened his pupils.

"This kid actually shot the first ball?"
