Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 206 The first one, Jiang Guxiao’s stunning opening!

West Tokyo Regional Competition, the first semi-final match.

The game between the Seido High School baseball team and the Sensen High School baseball team has officially begun.

In today's game, the Seido High School baseball team took the lead.

For the fans in the stands, they originally expected to see a very ordinary start.

Everyone is already familiar with the offensive model of the Seido High School baseball team.

Even with their eyes closed, they could name the first few hitters of the Seido High School baseball team.

An old supporter enthusiastically introduced it to his companions.

"The No. 1 hitter on the Seido High School baseball team is a famous Scud. Although his reputation is not particularly famous, his performance in the strike zone is not bad! The most important thing is his speed..."

Just when the old supporter of the Aomichi High School baseball team enthusiastically introduced Kuramochi.

Suddenly there was a huge cheer.

The companion who came with him looked puzzled.

"Is this what you mean by not being famous?"

Could a little-known player on the Seido High School baseball team cause such a big commotion?

The person who was introducing him also turned his head in surprise.

His performance at this time was even more confused than that of his companions.

When did their team become so popular?

And that boy Kuramochi, since when did he have such appeal?

When he turned around, he realized that the person standing in the strike zone was not Kuramochi at all.

But Jiang Guxiao.

The fans in the stands went crazy when they saw this scene.

The old supporter was even more stunned.

"What exactly is going on?"

The two reporters from Baseball Kingdom magazine also looked at each other in surprise.

Even ordinary fans have no way of understanding what is going on with Director Kataoka and the Aomichi High School baseball team at this time.

"Is the temporary lineup change just to give the opponent a chance to show off?"

After hearing what Akiko Owada said, Fujio nodded decisively.

They had seen tactics like this before, that of the Yakashi High School baseball team.

At the beginning, they adjusted Honglei City, which was originally ranked in the fourth battalion, to the first battalion.

I just want to be the first to win!

It's just that Fang Guxiao was too strong, and the opponent's carefully prepared moves failed to succeed in the end.

But what happens now?

If the Aomichi High School baseball team really wanted to do that, they should be ranked number one right now, shouldn't it be Yuki?

How could it be Jiang Guxiao?

This is incredible!

"Based on his hitting style, he is obviously not suitable for the No. 1 position. And for giants like the Seido High School baseball team, their teams are very mature. They should not be reckless. Make such a decision?"

"I don't understand it at all!"

Fujio couldn't understand.

It's not that he doesn't understand the purpose of this tactic, it's that he simply doesn't understand what Director Kataoka is thinking.

At the same time, the Daocheng players who came specially to watch this game were also stunned at this time.

Although the emotions of the surrounding audience were very high.

They still couldn't figure it out, what was the purpose of the Qingdao High School baseball team doing this?

"The first one is Jiang Gu, it's just a joke!"

"are you crazy?"

"Looking at the arrangement of their lineup, the first pitcher they sent out was Dambo!"

"That senior has never played on the court since he was injured, right?"

"Crazy, the Seido High School baseball team is completely crazy!"

As a possible opponent in the finals, after Qingdao High School went crazy, the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team were not happy at all.

They lost to the Seido High School baseball team in the Kanto Conference finals.

From that moment on, everyone on their team vowed to get this face back on the court.

If they finally win, it will be a crazy and abnormal Qingdao.

Let me ask, how can they be happy?

Even bystanders had such a big reaction?

Not to mention, Senquan is currently competing against the Seido High School baseball team.

The supervisor of Xianquan is a fat middle-aged man over fifty years old.

There is too much flesh on his face, and his neck has merged with his body, giving the impression that he has no neck.

He usually likes to talk casually, but his performance in leading the team is getting better and better year by year.

Said without politeness.

Although this coach has some minor flaws, his ability to lead the team is absolutely impeccable.

Now that he saw the arrangement of the Qingdao High School baseball team, his eyes were full of confusion.

"What is this for?"

Akatsuki Furuya, the first-year monster of the Seido High School baseball team, always seems to be invincible.

It seems no matter who the opponent is?

He can crush them all.

But that means he's on the mound against a hitter, and if his opponent is the pitcher, he's the hitter.

That situation is completely different.

Although even under such circumstances, Fang Guxiao's performance was very good.

But it’s limited to excellence.

He was invincible on the mound and didn't take any opponent seriously.

That is obviously unrealistic.

"Do you just trust your first-year ace? Or have you already made up your mind that you won't let him pitch in any case?"

The supervisor of the Sensen High School baseball team does not think Kataoka is crazy.

But he still felt that the supervisor of the Seido High School baseball team was too young.

He trusts his players too much, almost to the point of being crazy.

"I won't be like you and put all my hopes on the performance of the players. Players are human beings after all, and they are still teenagers. Their game state, including their inner thoughts, will have ups and downs. You So sure, can this first grade surprise you? Judging from the results of his previous attacks, he is not very good at dealing with fast changing balls!"

Thinking of the Xianquan Supervisor here, he gave the order to his disciples without any hesitation.

"Kill them, cleanly!"

No matter what kind of wishful thinking the opponent has, as long as they fail to defeat the opponent, they will firmly have the initiative in the game.

Regarding the shortcomings of the Seido High School baseball team's starters, they have made statistics before.

Akatsuki Fanggu is very strong!

Even if you just look at his performance in the strike zone, he is a little monster.

But after analysis, the supervisors and players of the Xianquan High School baseball team thought that if they faced Gu Xiao.

It's not that there's no chance of winning.

The key still depends on how to fight?

"Come on, show us the results of your special training!"

The supervisor of the Xianquan High School baseball team seemed to have made up his mind and gave a secret signal to his disciples.

The players of the Xianquan High School baseball team are also ready.

Especially Maki, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, had his eyes firmly locked on Akatsuki Fukitani.

He is in the second grade and Akatsuki Furuya is in the first grade.

Not only that, the opponent was also wearing the uniform of the Seido High School baseball team, and the number on his back was still No. 1.

"How enviable!"

Few people know that the school that Maki, the ace of the Sensen High School baseball team, wanted to join the most was Aido.

But the admissions office of the Seido High School baseball team never found him.

Akatsuki Fukitani not only went to the school of his dreams, but also became his unreachable trump card.

The ace of the first grade!

Even among the Xianquan High School baseball team, that is very rare.

The Seido High School baseball team, one of the top clubs in the country, actually allowed a first-year player to become an ace?

Not only that, but now he is placed in the first battalion.

How much importance does this attach to him?

Obvious.

Maki felt that his jealousy and envy were almost burning him up.

Their supervisor also sent a code signal at this time, so that he did not have to escape and had a head-on confrontation.

Given the character of their supervisor, it is very difficult to make such a decision.     But he did it anyway.

Apparently, their supervisor believed that even if the two of them faced off head-on, the probability of him defeating the opponent would be very high.

"Let me give it a try, how are you, the ace of Qing Dao?"

Maki made up his mind and took one step forward.

As his body weight shifted, the baseball in his hand also whizzed out.

"Whoosh!"

The white baseball took action, and all the players on the Xianquan High School baseball team opened their eyes in excitement.

They could feel that Maki's goal was extraordinary.

"Snapped!"

The baseball smashed into the catcher's glove.

Akatsuki Fukutani, who was standing on the strike zone, seemed to be shocked by Maki's ball and didn't even make any movement.

The players of the Xianquan High School baseball team were so excited after seeing this scene.

"Have you seen it? There's nothing the players on the Seido High School baseball team can do."

"Maki, your balls are the best!!"

The players on the Xianquan High School baseball team looked extremely excited.

Even their supervisor narrowed his eyes with laughter.

"That's it! Speaking of which, Maki is in really good shape today."

As he said before, players are humans, not machines.

Since they are human beings, their status and performance on the court will fluctuate.

Take their team's ace Maki, for example, his last game was unsatisfactory and he could only score six points.

Otherwise, they would not have only one point advantage.

But today's Maki gave him a completely different feeling. Even if you can't score the highest ten points, you can at least score nine points.

"If he can keep shooting like this, then there might be a chance of a comeback in today's game."

The director of the Xianquan High School baseball team thought optimistically.

Before this game, they had done a lot of deductions.

Although their team didn't have any chance at all, they had to admit that the gap in strength between the two sides was really too big.

That is simply not something that can be made up for easily.

In this case, if they still want to reverse the comeback and create a miracle.

Then it must be. Minimize their own mistakes as much as possible and seize every opportunity.

What exactly does the Seido High School baseball team want to do?

Of course they are unknown.

But that doesn't stop them from seizing the opportunity.

As long as they can seize the opportunity, they can dampen the momentum of the Seido High School baseball team.

"Let's continue in one go!"

With the support of the supervisor, Maki seemed to be cheating.

The baseball flew out of his hand again.

The speed of this ball seems to be faster.

But this time, Fang Guxiao did not remain silent.

He gathered his strength and swung the bat.

"Ping!"

The baseball that was hit flew directly out of bounds.

The friends in the dugout of the Qingdao High School baseball team gasped in unison.

After just two goals, Fugu Xiao was chased by the opponent.

The situation on their side is not optimistic.

I don’t know what their supervisor is thinking?

Does he have to let Jiang Guxiao play now just because of the duel between the two?

Just when everyone felt confused, Director Kataoka suddenly stood up.

He stared at Fang Guxiao seriously and spoke.

"Use your own pace and don't always second guess the opponent's ball!"

These words reached Jiang Guxiao's ears, and Jiang Guxiao was shocked.

In the process of striking just now, he still subconsciously followed his previous striking habit.

He's guessing Maki's pitch!

Originally, Jiang Guxiao didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this.

But when he heard the call from his own supervisor, Jiang Guxiao realized how childish and naive his thoughts were?

He actually forgot the reason why the supervisor specifically ranked him first.

It's not because of his previous stellar performance in the strike zone.

The main reason was the shock he gave the supervisor yesterday.

Thinking of this, Fang Guxiao suddenly smiled bitterly.

He really wanted to tell Director Kataoka that the way he relied on intuition to attack was actually very accidental.

In other words, it doesn't mean that he will succeed if he fights like that.

There is an element of coincidence and luck involved.

But their supervisor probably wouldn't listen to a word of his theories.

Jiang Guxiao could only bite the bullet and go!

Don't think about anything, keep your mind blank...

Rely on the feeling of your body and wait for the baseball to come over.

Their opponents knew nothing about Fang Guxiao's thoughts.

After taking the lead with two good balls, they did not use the winning ball, but prepared to use a bad ball to seduce Akatsuki Furigu to swing.

As long as he swings the bat out, Xianquan will win.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball flew out, clearly out of the strike zone.

However, at this time, people were very surprised to find that Fang Guxiao actually took action?

"That was a bad ball!!"

The friends in the dugout of the Seido High School baseball team were all anxious.

Even from their angle, they could feel it was a bad ball.

How could Jiang Guxiao, who was standing on the strike zone, still be deceived?

It's completely over now!

However, just when the friends were thinking this, Fang Guxiao took a step forward, and the ball that he was unlikely to touch originally was actually touched by him this time.

"Ping!"

Then people saw that the white baseball drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and then fell to the back of the stadium.

The former outfielder for the Xianquan High School baseball team never thought that baseballs would fly to him.

So much so that he was not prepared at all.

By the time he realized something was wrong and started playing baseball in a hurry, it was too late.

"Snapped!"

The baseball bounces.

Players and supporters of the Aomichi High School baseball team let out huge cheers.

"Wow!!!"

"As expected of a monster boy!!"

"He can hit a bad ball into the outfield for a super long hit!!"

“Through it!!!”
