Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 209: Growth, shining brightly after experiencing setbacks!

"Seido High School Baseball Team, please make a substitution!"

The game reached the fourth inning, and the score on the field was still 1:1.

As a pitcher, Dambo's performance was not very good. His straight ball was targeted by Xianquan's batter.

When he was replaced, Danbo's face was full of fatigue.

Everyone wanted to comfort him, but they didn't know where to start.

It was his first game back and he dropped one point. Considering that the opponent is not very strong, this performance is really unsatisfactory.

What can everyone say?

They couldn't say anything.

Director Kataoka also discovered this and asked patiently: "How do you feel?"

When he heard the supervisor's question, Danbo didn't know how to answer it?

He really put in the effort during the game.

His fighting spirit has never been extinguished.

However, the baseball he threw was not exactly what he wanted.

Some are pretty good, some are not.

"I never expected that you would be able to throw a perfect ball just after you returned to the court. As far as today is concerned, your performance is already up to standard. You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. If you feel guilty, just think about it. Think of how to correct your straight shots!"

Tamba's problems cannot be solved overnight.

However, even so, Director Kataoka did not want him to give up.

As long as he can persevere and regain his form. That Danba is still the pitcher in their team, second only to Akatsuki Fukitani.

He is still one of the most important players in the Seido High School baseball team.

"Yes!"

Tanba's heart was racing.

For him, although he made some mistakes during the pitching process.

This made him very disappointed in himself.

But compared to his own disappointment in himself, he was more afraid that the supervisor would be unwilling to give him a chance or trust him again because of this.

This way he can get back on his feet.

Without a stage to perform, it means nothing.

But now it seems that his worries were unfounded.

Although he is no longer the ace of the Seido High School baseball team, Director Kataoka is still willing to give him a chance to continue to show his strength on the field.

On the other side, Sawamura is seen taking the field.

In the stands, the eyes of those Akagi friends who came specifically to cheer him on were shining.

"Xiao Rong, he's on the stage!"

"The current situation at Qingdao High School is not very good. If he is sent to play at this time, does it mean that..."

These former friends of Sawamura had some kind of expectation in their hearts.

But they themselves are not sure.

There is no way, this is Qingdao after all, it is the top wealthy family in the country.

Previously, this team won the championship of the Kanto Conference.

They saw the heroic appearance of this team on TV.

Such a team was beyond their wildest dreams. They never thought that they could have anything to do with such a team?

Even if Sawamura is their idol, he pursues their dreams on their behalf.

They didn't dare to think that Sawamura could be used in such a important way in the Qingdao High School baseball team.

"You guys, have some faith in him."

Wakana couldn't help but shake her head when she saw how cautious her friends were.

Not only were they in awe of Qingdao, but they also felt different about Sawamura.

The little friend who fought side by side with them before has now grown into a main player for the top giants in the country.

Still under such a scene, he was sent to pitch under their supervision.

The huge sense of gap made them feel that their former friend was starting to get further and further away from them.

However, just when the friends were thinking this, they saw Sawamura, who was about to win, supporting them in a victory gesture.

This is a small gesture that seems insignificant to others.

However, it was such a small gesture that brought tears to Sawamura's former friends' eyes when they saw it.

Then, they may also feel it is too embarrassing to do so.

They immediately put on smiling faces.

"Come on!"

"You are the idol of all of us!"

“Hope for our village!!!”

I saw Sawamura’s friends cheering him on in unison before he actually took the field!

Kuramochi was thoughtful.

He couldn't even remember how long it had been since that incident?

He used to have such a group of friends around him.

But then he joined the Seido High School baseball team, and he completely lost contact with everyone.

"This brat has such a good relationship with his friends, so enviable!!"

Just when Kuramochi was sighing like this, he also received a kick on the butt.

"You better move, the game has already started, don't you know? Idiot!"

"Senior Minato! I'm so embarrassed..."

"Then please be more reliable!!"

In the Qingdao High School baseball team, it has become a commonplace for seniors to teach their juniors.

Until now, their inheritance has never been interrupted.

The game restarted and Sawamura came on to pitch.

At this time, the game has reached the second half of the fourth inning, and the Xianquan High School baseball team is on offense.

Sawamura Eijun, who just came on the field, showed an unexpected pitching state.

His pitching posture is very stretched, and the ball he throws is also very hard.

The ball speed is basically above 130 kilometers.

To others, this may not be a big deal.

But for those friends before Sawamura Eijun, their hearts were extremely shocked and excited.

They had never seen Sawamura pitching with such force.

It seems to crush all opponents.

The feeling of the baseball drilling into the glove is as if the two have made an appointment.

Don't give your opponent a chance at all!

The ball speed on the electronic scoreboard reached an astonishing 130 kilometers.

You must know that their team's current ace has a ball speed of less than 120.

They can clearly see the huge improvement of Sawamura Eijun.

To say that he has been transformed is an understatement.

Under such circumstances, they couldn't even think of any other way to express their excitement except cheering.

"He's grown so much!"

"It's completely different than when we played together."

However, just when the players of the Akagi Junior High School baseball team thought so, they were very surprised to find out.

A very familiar scene appeared on the court.

"Bad ball!"

"Bad ball!?"

"Bad ball!!"

"Bad ball, walk on base!!!"

This result is as shocking as you want. The fans in the stands were all stunned.

On the contrary, Sawamura Eijun's former friends couldn't help but hold their foreheads.

"Why is it still the same!"

The biggest problem they encountered before was that their captain's ball kept floating around.

As a result, the more exciting the game, the more bad shots he made.

Unexpectedly, he has now entered the Qingdao High School baseball team and has become the main force of the team.

This problem of his has not changed yet.

Of course, it was precisely because they discovered this small flaw in Sawamura that the original worries in their hearts immediately disappeared without a trace.

No matter what identity Sawamura is now?

Every time they met, the other person turned around and waved, and the feeling was exactly the same as before.

Even in his pitching now, friends can see the shadow of his previous pitching.

For them, that's enough.

This is still the friend they were familiar with back then, this is still their former captain.

"We are all here, but you are a little more reliable! I didn't reply to the text message, so I thought you had been busy training."

Wakana pouted her mouth and muttered in dissatisfaction.

Sawamura's childhood sweetheart was only slightly dissatisfied.

The guys on the Seido High School baseball team feel completely different.

Although Sawamura Eijun still played in an important scene today.

But the friends on the Qingdao High School baseball team were far less confident about him than they were in his previous games.

After all, in the last game, Sawamura Eijun's pitch was mercilessly beaten out.

Even got a home run!

If it was just like that, that's all. The key is that he collapsed in the subsequent games.

Whether it’s Director Kataoka or the other friends on the Seido High School baseball team.

They sent Eijun Sawamura to play at this time, with high expectations in their hearts.

They sincerely hope that this little guy can bring different surprises to everyone on the field.

Even if there is no way to bring surprises, at least he must find his previous pitching state and restore his previous appearance.

Only in that way can he become a true main player of the Seido High School baseball team.

But now he seems to have encountered problems as soon as he comes on the court.

What does this make the other guys on the Seido High School baseball team think?

"It's okay, don't be nervous!"

Miyukiichi also gave a secret signal.

Although he said that, he made a mistake as soon as he came on the field.

Coupled with the psychological shadow that was buried in him in the last game.

How could Sawamura Eijun not think more!

If he makes a mistake at this time, what will the supervisors think and what will the players think?

Can he live up to the expectations of supervision?

Can he stand up to his teammates?

Under this heavy pressure, the young man was obviously a little bit crushed.

Although in the subsequent games, he tried his best to make good shots.

But the baseballs thrown from his hands were never exactly what he wanted.

The baseball is either thrown out or simply has no way of getting into the strike zone.

The die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team in the stands were stunned when they saw this scene.

When Koichiro Tanba pitched on the mound, the team's die-hard supporters were already impatient.

Considering that he is the ace of the third grade, he is also a very important strength of the Seido High School baseball team at this stage.

The most important thing is that his return has special meaning for the Seido High School baseball team.

Plus it was his first game.

Those die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team reluctantly endured it.

But it’s different now that Sawamura is on the court!

You little guy, what qualifications do you have to make mistakes on the field?

Isn't this fatal?

If it doesn't work, just let him go.

A wave of opposition from the fans in the stands has begun to brew.

Until Sawamura lost the first point.

The score on the court became 1:2.

Director Kataoka's patience seems to have reached its extreme.

Speak matter-of-factly.

Because their team now has a Dinghaishen needle, Director Kataoka's temper is much gentler than before.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those words to Tanba.

He was even less likely to give Sawamura a chance until Sawamura lost points on the court.

But that’s it!

This iron-faced supervisor is ready to stop it.

The fans in the stands were also ready to shout out.

However, at this moment, Sawamura Eijun, who had just lost a point, raised his arm.

"Don't take it to heart, it's normal to lose points on the court."

"First of all, we must stabilize our mentality and get the first out number first..."

When the friends of the Seido High School baseball team heard what Sawamura Eijun said, they looked at him as if they were looking at something dirty.

I hate it so much!

The truth of these two sentences is correct. This is also the policy that the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have been implementing.

But the problem is, anyone can say these two sentences, but it’s not your turn, right?

Is it really appropriate for you to stand up and say this?

Have you ever considered the feelings of your peers around you?

Have you ever considered the fragile little hearts of your companions around you?

In the dugout of the Seido High School baseball team, Director Kataoka stopped his movements.

The fans in the stands also subconsciously closed their mouths.

Chris, who was recording the game, raised the corner of his mouth.

"He was indeed in a hurry due to sudden changes."

The players on the Xianquan High School baseball team are by no means freeloaders.

As long as they are given a chance, their combined attack power will be quite terrifying.

It was because of the opponent's series of attacks that Sawamura lost one point.

As a first-year player, this is indeed normal.

But this is by no means the reason for Chris's relief.

What really makes Chris, a master, feel gratified.

After experiencing that incident, Sawamura did not mess up on the court like he did in the last game.

The real situation is exactly the opposite.

He quickly calmed down after losing points. Not only that, the little guy even had the mind to care for his teammates.

Compared to the previous Sawamura, the current Sawamura is much more mature!

Are they completely different from before?

Just one game can make a first-year player grow so much.

No matter which way you look at it, they have made a lot of money.

"Only by experiencing setbacks and overcoming them can we shine on the court."

In the stands on the side of the Seido High School baseball team, a second-year player of the Seido High School baseball team felt something.

Although their score was overtaken by the opponent.

But after seeing Sawamura Eijun's performance, he firmly believed that the strength of the Seido High School baseball team had just begun.

This man's name is Watanabe.

When friends around Watanabe heard these words, they couldn't help but tease him.

"What about Fukitani-san?"

Only through setbacks can one shine?

How to calculate falling valley?
