Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 224 The devil is coming!

"boom!!!"

The white baseball, like some unknown monster, instantly penetrated the strike zone.

The fans in the stands were silent at first.

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of gasping sounds.

"My dear..."

"Oh my god, this is too scary!"

"It felt like the baseball was like a meteorite falling to the ground, and it hit the ground instantly..."

The fans in the stands were all amazed.

Standing in the strike zone, Harada's face looked as ugly as possible.

The players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team are actually mentally prepared for the increase in Fang Guxiao's ball speed.

The other party is in the first grade and has just joined high school not long ago. Now it is a period of rapid progress.

In this case, the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School Baseball Team had already made their judgment before playing the game against the Qingdao High School Baseball Team.

Their opponents can pitch very fast!

Even faster than his previous pitches! !

The players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team are mentally prepared for these.

Especially Harada, who is the fourth player in the team, did a lot of simulation exercises before the duel.

He adjusted his pitching machine to 155 kilometers.

Then he stood in the strike zone and faced off against this fast ball.

In the beginning, the results were, of course, very tragic.

Even one of the top bats in the country, Masako Harada, is powerless against a 155-kilometer fast ball.

But even so, Harada did not give up.

He kept practicing, over and over again.

As one of the three strongest players in Nishi Tokyo, in addition to his strong personal talent, Harada also possesses strong resilience.

He believes that through continuous practice.

Sooner or later, he will be able to hit the ball with this speed.

Now, when Harada faces the pitching machine, the probability of hitting the ball has increased a lot.

It was precisely because of this improvement that he had the confidence to stand in front of Jiang Guxiao and fight against this first-year monster.

At that time, Harada had only one thought in his mind.

That is to hit the ball out of this first-year monster without mercy.

Targeting the Seido High School baseball team, and even targeting Akatsuki Furuya personally.

The Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team has been studied in detail.

Through research, they discovered that the current Seido High School baseball team is very dependent on their ace Futani.

As the team's ace, Feng Gu has never failed to live up to the trust of his teammates.

It is precisely because of this interdependence that the Seido High School baseball team has the current horrific record.

But what a team is most proud of is often also their greatest weakness.

The players and supporters of the Seido High School baseball team have almost blind faith in their team's ace.

This is undoubtedly a very dangerous signal.

This means that if something goes wrong with Akatsuki Furuya, the team's ace, or his performance is not as strong as they imagined.

Players on the Aomichi High School baseball team are bound to get hit hard.

Even the strength of their entire team may be affected.

This is the opportunity for the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.

Harada had this strong belief when he took the field.

He's going to hit the ball away!

He wants to crush Jiang Guxiao! !

From the perspective of Daocheng Industrial, it is not surprising that they would have such thoughts.

After all, just now, the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team had successfully scored a point from Fang Gu.

This has never happened on other occasions.

It is for this reason that the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team have greatly increased their confidence.

It turns out that the first-year monster of the Seido High School baseball team is not as invulnerable as they imagined.

It's not as invincible as they imagined.

As long as this concept is reversed, the confidence of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team players, and even their strength, will be greatly improved.

Like now.

In Harada's mind, he even had the idea of ​​defeating Gu Xiao.

However, just now, the first-year rookie on the Seido High School baseball team made a seemingly effortless shot.

Including Harada, all the players on the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team were dumbfounded.

They were really dumbfounded!

158 kilometers! ! !

They had tried their best to overestimate Jiang Guxiao's strength.

However, in the end, they were very surprised to find that they still underestimated Qingdao, a first-year monster.

"158 kilometers, are you kidding me?"

Harada, who had always been calm, had shock and disbelief in his eyes.

Ball speed is only one aspect.

What really gave him a headache was the aura exuding from Jiang Guxiao.

That kind of momentum that sweeps everything and crushes everything.

It deeply impacted his heart, leaving him unable to remain calm no matter what.

"Damn it! You can't be so cowardly. You are the fourth baton of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team!!!"

Harada warned himself over and over again in his heart.

He can't be so cowardly, he must stand up bravely.

If he, Daocheng's fourth bat, behaves timidly on the court.

Even if their team has scored a point from the opponent, their momentum will inevitably be affected.

Even hit hard.

Whenever he thinks of this, Harada steels himself again and again.

"The difference is only three kilometers, I will definitely be able to fight out! There must be a way!!!"

This was originally what Harada was thinking.

But I don’t know if it’s because I’m too nervous or because of other reasons.

These words came out of his mouth so openly.

Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, looked at Harada in disbelief.

Because they are the biggest competitors and they absolutely know each other.

For the fourth bat of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, he is also the captain of the opponent.

Miyuki studied it very clearly.

In Miyuki's mind, this is a senior who is as reliable as Yuki, the captain of their team.

In fact, the two are also ranked by the outside world as the three strongest players in Nishi Tokyo.

However, for such a powerful player, he was completely confused after just seeing one of Fang Guxiao's goals.

158 km!

Compared with the ball speed that Fang Guxiao had thrown before, it was a full two kilometers faster.

To be honest, this improvement is not as big as imagined.

At least among the friends of the Seido High School baseball team, they generally believe that Furigu can also throw the ball faster!

However, feeling is one thing, reality is another...

For ordinary pitchers, the ball speed wants to increase by a few kilometers, or even 10 kilometers.

None of this is incredible.

Their pitching posture and even pitching habits. As long as I make a few corrections, I might be able to break through this naturally.

But for pitchers of Shiguya’s level, can their ball speed continue to improve?

Even just a kilometer or two higher.

It's all very difficult to judge.

The reason is that it has nothing to do with whether the players work hard or not.

This mainly depends on whether the player has that kind of talent and talent?

If you have, you can do it.

if you do not have.

Or your potential has been exhausted.

Then the fastest ball speed you can achieve in your life is only up to that number.

Feng Guxiao's improvement is not as fast as everyone in Qingdao imagined.

But the most important reason is that everyone is used to the terrifying appearance of Akatsuki Furi's pitching. So much so that they subconsciously feel that ball speed exceeding 155 kilometers is just that.

Once Akatsuki Furuya improves, they can't help but wonder, can the ball speed be even faster?

But the real situation is not as simple as they think.

Just increasing the ball speed to 158 kilometers is already an incredible achievement.

Otherwise, Harada-senpai wouldn’t be like this?

He was completely shocked.

"Very good! Keep it up and use your fastest ball speed to completely destroy the opponent's confidence."

Just now, Miyuki Kazuya planned to let Akatsuki Furuya relax.

This method of continuously throwing fastballs puts too much burden on the pitcher!

This is likely to affect the pitching after Akatsuki Fangtani. This may then affect their entire team.

But at this moment, the thoughts in Miyuki's mind suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

If Harada can be completely defeated here, the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team will definitely suffer a huge blow that they cannot accept.

Let's consider this issue from Kazuya Miyuki's perspective.

Miyuki believes that they have every chance to defeat their opponents in one fell swoop.

Even if their opponent is the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.

After all, the other party is just a group of sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys.

Their age determines that they cannot be as rational as adults.

It is not so unimaginable that they completely collapse when they encounter difficulties that are difficult for them to understand and bear.

"This opportunity is once in a lifetime..."

Miyuki changed his mind and wanted to try it anyway.

See if you can defeat your opponent in one go.

After receiving the signal given by Miyuki Kazuya, the aura exuding from Akatsuki Furuya became stronger.

The players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team were obviously aware of this.

Their faces were so gloomy that they seemed to be dripping with water.

Kunitomo, who was standing at the front of the rest area, shook his neck and made a creaking sound.

After experiencing the finals of the Kanto Conference, they originally thought that they would no longer underestimate Fang Gu.

They have even regarded Jiang Gu as their biggest competitor. It is also the biggest stumbling block on their way forward.

However, when they actually played the game against the Qingdao High School baseball team, the supervisor of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team discovered it.

They still underestimated Jiang Guxiao.

I underestimated this freshman!

"boom!!"

When Akatsuki Furuya threw the second ball, it was either in the stands or in the seating areas of the two teams.

Everyone became more silent.

Harada swung the bat with all his strength, not even touching the ball hair.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

The batter was chased.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Guxiao made another impressive goal.

"boom!!"

It could be seen that Harada, standing in the strike zone, was really anxious.

He gritted his back teeth and swung the bat out.

However, even so, he still failed to touch the ball.

He could only watch helplessly as the white baseball flashed before his eyes.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

"strike out!!"

With two outs, first base was occupied.

The one who stood in the strike zone at this time was Narimiya Narimiya, the Prince of Tokyo.

"Senior, you are too careless!"

Facing Harada who returned to his rest area dejectedly, Narimiya frowned and asked.

This is how the two of them communicate with each other.

On the surface, it feels like Cheng Gongming is not very good at talking.

But Harada could hear his partner's concern.

"It's not careless. It's a ball with that kind of speed, and it's hard for us to hit it. But..."

Harada hesitated to speak.

Although my senior didn't really say it out loud.

But Cheng Gongming, relying on his understanding of his seniors, guessed what his seniors were unable to say.

It's just that this kind of ball dropped by Jianggu may not last long.

Such strong pitching cannot be sustained forever.

In this case, their duel with Fang Gu focused on delaying...

Harada was shocked just now.

But in his mind, he still maintained a basic calmness.

I saw that my captain was still acting calmly.

Cheng Gong was secretly relieved.

At this time, he had the same idea as Fang Guxiao.

My heart is filled with excitement.

"That's what makes it interesting!"

The stronger the opponent, the more valuable it is to defeat it.

"come on!!!"

Although they clearly know that the best thing they can do at this time is to keep delaying.

They have to find ways to let Shiang Gu shoot more balls.

It's one thing to understand it in your heart, but do you really want to do it? It's another story.

From Cheng Gongming's point of view, he obviously didn't intend to do that.

"It's just a mere 158 kilometers of pitching. Do you think I can't hit it?"

Just when Narumiya was thinking this, a white baseball whizzed over.

"boom!!"

A feeling like the earth is falling apart.

The baseball flashed past his eyes, and Narimiya, who was standing on the strike zone, had no time to react.

"how come?"

Just when this thought came to Cheng Gongming's mind.

The second ball flew over.

"boom!!!"

The white baseball exploded and was in front of him in an instant.

Cheng Gongming wanted to take action, but he was too late.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

For two consecutive balls, Narumi wanted to swing the bat and hit the ball out.

However, when he actually wanted to strike, he was very surprised to find that it was difficult for him to even take action...

Baseball is so fast!

He wasn't given any time to react at all.

"boom!"

"nice shot!!"

"strike out!!!!"

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

In Cheng Gongming's eyes, the first-year student who originally competed with him seemed to have transformed into a demon king.

The Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team couldn't hit his ball at all.

It’s hard to even touch it!
