Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 205 The highly anticipated Jiang Guxiao!

When Kataoka finished speaking, he found that all the players were staring at him.

Kataoka nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone did not worry about gains and losses, or have any bad emotions because of the temporary adjustment.

"In today's game, Fukitani-san will still play!"

According to Supervisor Photooka's original plan, he was prepared to let Akatsuki Furuya rest completely.

Hearing what he said, the other three pitchers on the team all raised their heads.

Akatsuki Fanggu comes on stage!

Does that mean that they may be substituted at any time in subsequent official games?

Obviously, they are overthinking.

Although Director Kataoka has decided to let Akatsuki Furuya return.

But just because he's back, doesn't mean he's going to pitch.

The supervisors and coaches of the Seido High School baseball team have never stopped wanting to let Akatsuki Furuya rest.

As the team's ace, Xiao Fanggu's performance has always been outstanding and has never disappointed the supervisor and coach.

Naturally, the supervisors and coaches also adhered to the principle of using good steel on the blade when arranging for him.

Quarterfinals, semifinals to finals.

The entire time interval was too short. In the previous quarter-finals, Fang Guxiao had already made a great effort.

What can be expected in the future is that his contribution will definitely be indispensable when it comes to the finals.

The supervisors and coaches considered this situation and decided to give him a rest in the semifinals.

On the one hand, it can create opportunities for other pitchers, and on the other hand, they also hope to use this to let Feng Guxiao be in better shape to face the finals.

In this case, unless there are major changes during their semi-finals.

Otherwise, they will never change their previous decisions.

"I'm not talking about the pitching, I'm talking about the batting order..."

After hearing what Director Kataoka said, all the friends fell silent.

Several third-year seniors had unexpected expressions on their faces.

Fang Guxiao's attack yesterday was really brilliant!

Until everyone got up this morning, everyone was talking about it.

Plus, how early he got up this morning.

Many third-year seniors on the Seido High School baseball team naturally felt that his batting position might be adjusted.

The top four players on the team are so poised!

No matter how they looked at it, they obviously didn't think that Fang Gu Xiao would take their place.

This is not just confidence in their own striking capabilities.

There are also striking style reasons.

So far, the first four bats of the Seido High School baseball team can almost be said to be the most stable.

If Jiang Guxiao's striking position needs to be adjusted.

Those should be the two bats ahead of him.

Miyuki is ranked sixth, and Masuko is ranked seventh.

Normally, the styles and striking abilities of these two players are absolutely not bad.

It is really hard for them to imagine that these two hitting positions will change.

But Fang Guxiao's performance was so strong.

Everyone seemed very confused for a moment.

Masuko's cheeks were already bulging, but Miyuki Kazuya had a relatively relaxed expression on his face.

He doesn't pay much attention to bat times.

As long as supervision doesn't replace him at catcher, he's fine with that.

Director Kataoka obviously noticed the expressions of the two men.

They didn't say anything, but gave instructions.

"Today's first baton position will be given to Akatsuki Furuya! The order of attack for the others remains unchanged, and will be postponed one after another."

After hearing their supervisor's instructions, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team all widened their eyes in disbelief.

It turned out to be the first one?

Even after yesterday's game, their supervisor has high expectations for Fang Guxiao's striking ability.

The supervisor won’t be so messy, right?

It's easy to say about other positions. If the first batsman changes, wouldn't their entire offensive style also change?

"Supervision..."

Some people couldn't help it anymore and wanted to raise questions.

But Director Kataoka ignored the other party at all, and he set his sights on Akatsuki Furiya.

"Remember the feeling of your blow yesterday?"

Hearing the supervisor's question, even Fang Guxiao herself found it incredible.

But he still nodded obediently.

"Remember!"

The scene of his duel with Director Kataoka is still fresh in his memory to this day.

"Don't forget that feeling, use it in official games! If you can achieve something in today's game, I will consider moving you to the core hitting position."

The core hitting positions are the 3rd, 4th, and 5th bats.

Originally, these three attack positions were all firmly controlled by the third-year seniors.

They are the most reliable people!

But in other words, they are also the most difficult targets to conquer.

Even for Fang Guxiao, no one thought that he would have the chance to unseat one of the three seniors.

But now, their supervisor has made a promise.

Although this promise is suspected of painting a bigger picture.

But for players like them, even if they know it's a big deal, they still can't help but be tempted.

This is the boy's desire for honor!

Several third-year players all stood there proudly.

Faced with Supervisor Kataoka's proposal, they all showed extremely terrifying fighting spirit.

It seems that no matter what Jiang Guxiao chooses?

They would never give up the position they had finally obtained with great difficulty.

"Yes!"

Although several third-year seniors don't seem to be easy to mess with.

But he can become the core hitter of the team and compete head-on with them.

Xiao Fanggu is still very interested.

"The same goes for you guys. If someone's performance is not good enough, he will be replaced in the lower position in the next finals."

After hearing the words of their supervision, the momentum of several third-year seniors seemed to be even more terrifying.

In just a few words, he successfully ignited the fighting spirit of Xiao Fanggu and several third-year players.

Supervisor Kataoka's operation really stunned many people at the scene.

Miyukiichi couldn't help it anymore and directly extended his thumb.

As the team's main catcher, he is also the commander of on-field games.

Miyukiichi not only looks at the game from his own perspective, but sometimes he also looks at a game from a supervisor's perspective.

Judging from the current performance of supervision, from Kazuya Miyuki's perspective, their supervision is basically perfect.

"It's amazing, I really don't understand, how did he do this?"

The young man was amazed.

You clearly know that the supervisor is just giving the players blood.

But they played beautifully!

Players who have been beaten to death are full of fighting spirit and seem to be able to defeat all opponents.

"Let's go, it's time for us to set off!"

Under the leadership of captain Yuki, everyone on the team got on the bus. Even on the bus, Kuramochi was full of resentment.

Although overall, his hitting position has not changed much.

The supervisor just arranged Fang Guxiao in front of him.

But even such a small change has already made Kuramochi feel very uncomfortable.

You know, he has always been the team's number one player, and he has already developed a habit for such a long time.

Now that he is suddenly adjusted to the second team, how will he adapt?

"My position as the number one player will be gone just like that, right?"

"You don't have to worry about that. The supervisor just wants to make a temporary attempt. If Akatsuki Fanggu can pass the assessment, his subsequent attack position will be in the core area."

Kominato Ryosuke said with a smile.

Kuramochi heard such comfort, but felt that he was not happy at all.

The number one player he valued so much was ultimately not replaced, not because he was stronger and his style was more suitable.

Is it just because the other party is too strong and won't compete with him?

How happy this made him.

It's okay if there is no comparison. With such a comparison, wouldn't everyone see his incompetence even more?

Hearing Kuramochi's complaint, the group of friends all laughed unkindly.

The bus went all the way and arrived at the Jingu Stadium.

When the friends saw that there was almost no one at the entrance of the stadium, doubts suddenly appeared in their eyes.

"There don't seem to be many spectators for today's game?"

When they played before, every time the bus arrived, they would always see a lot of fans and reporters.

"This is also something that can't be helped."

Minister Ohta was not surprised by this situation.

"When we played before, most of them were on Saturdays and Sundays. Not after the quarter-finals, that day was a working day! However, even on that day, there were still a lot of fans."

"They have already taken a day off or worked a day off. They are destined to not be able to watch today's game."

On weekdays, most people are working and students are in school.

There are only a few people.

Plus the game they played against the Medicine High School baseball team.

There are even fewer spectators who can come and cheer them on today.

Of course, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team understand this very well.

But understanding is understanding. When they realize that no one will cheer them on today, they still feel a little disappointed in their hearts.

"It must be very quiet on the court today!"

The Jingu Stadium is particularly luxurious and has a lot of seats.

This is the unique treatment for the top four in Tokyo.

If they were playing in a stadium like this before, there would be so many fans who loved them.

The boys of the Seido High School baseball team were very excited just thinking about it.

But it’s different now!

Today they have so few fans and so many seats in the stadium.

Just thinking about it makes you realize how empty it is.

"Don't be discouraged, as long as we reach the finals it will be fine!"

Fang Guxiao said with a smile.

Although Chris and Miyukiichi have said it many times before.

But from Fang Guxiao's own standpoint, he didn't feel this way at all.

As a first-year player, he doesn't see himself becoming more of a team leader.

But today, at this moment.

When he said those words of course, and after he said those words, the expressions on the friends' faces also changed.

Only then did Fanggu Xiao truly feel that those two people were telling the truth.

Unconsciously, he became more and more like one of the leaders of this team.

This wasn't something he did intentionally.

But he learned it naturally after becoming the ace of the team.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team got off the bus. There were already a dozen reporters waiting there, and they set up their guns and cannons.

A pre-game interview is to be conducted with the directors and players of the Seido High School baseball team.

Although there are fewer fans, there are still many reporters.

Even looking at their enthusiasm for the interview, they were much more enthusiastic than at the beginning.

It was at this time that the Xianquan High School bus arrived.

An extremely tall player saw Akatsuki Fukitani immediately after getting off the bus.

His eyes narrowed instantly.

This person is Maki, and he is also the first person noticed by the friends of the Seido High School baseball team when they were investigating their opponent's information.

"That player from the Xianquan High School baseball team seems to have been staring at us."

Of course, it was impossible for the friends of the Seido High School baseball team not to notice that the other party was paying so much attention to him.

When they became aware of it, they immediately spread the news.

The friends whispered.

For some reason, the tall player on the Xianquan High School baseball team stared at them with hostile eyes.

"Today's game is a bit unusual, please be careful!"

After the reporter finished the interview, everyone went to the locker room to change clothes.

After changing clothes, open the door and enter the stadium.

Before entering the stadium, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were fully mentally prepared.

The entire Jingu Stadium may be empty...

To the surprise of the friends, the moment they actually stepped onto the court, huge cheers erupted from the stands.

"Qingdao!!"

"Fang Guxiao!"

"Furitani-san, I came here specially to see you."

The sound was so loud that the boys on the Seido High School baseball team couldn't help but notice.

They looked around quickly and saw a scene that shocked them beyond measure.

Today is a working day.

People who work normally are definitely at work at this time, not to mention those who go to school.

However, even under such circumstances, the scene was not as empty as they imagined.

A total of two to three thousand spectators came, scattered in every corner of the auditorium.

Even if it is a working day, they still come to cheer.

"How much do these guys look forward to the performance of the Seido High School baseball team?"

The beautiful reporter from the baseball kingdom looked at the surrounding audience with a surprised look on her face.

She didn't expect that on a day like competition day, there would be so many people specially coming to the scene?

"Rather than looking forward to Seido, I am looking forward to Furitani-san. His performance in the last game undoubtedly left a very deep impression on everyone. So much so that by this time, everyone has never forgotten him!"

“The ball speed of over 155 kilometers is so intoxicating!!”

"The summer Koshien Nishi Tokyo qualifiers, the first semi-final match, the Aomichi High School baseball team's match against Sensen has officially begun!"
