Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 237 Touching the ball!

The ninth batter of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team felt a turmoil in his heart.

When he was in the dugout, he had already heard from his teammates on the team how extraordinary this boy named Sawamura was at pitching?

But the ninth pitcher of Daocheng Industrial has always firmly believed that this pitcher is just a little strange.

What if it was a competition of hard power!

Sawamura is definitely far behind, even a thousand miles away is not an exaggeration.

After all, the ninth batman of Daocheng Industrial once stood by and carefully observed Sawamura's pitching.

His judgment is not without basis.

But when he actually stood on the strike zone, his thoughts immediately changed drastically.

For the first time, he truly realized how extraordinary this young man named Sawamura Eijun was.

"If you really look at it from the strike zone, the ball speed is so much faster?"

This catches the hitter off guard.

Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, obviously didn't miss this detail.

"it is good!"

For them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"The shadow has been created in the opponent's mind, keep it going, keep attacking his inside corner."

The ball speed suddenly increased, attacking the inside corner again.

Just the combination of these two things is enough to make the hitters of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team drink a pot.

Not to mention, Sawamura also has a Quirk Ball as a weapon.

Sometimes, even Miyuki Kazuya, the team's main catcher, has to admit it.

For their team, this is the end of all hardships!

In the past few years, they had not encountered a reliable pitcher.

But just this year, their luck suddenly ushered in a big explosion.

They met two such extremely talented pitchers at once.

Although Sawamura Eijun's performance on the court cannot be compared with Furitani.

But that's just because he's so immature.

In addition, Jiang Gu Xiao's performance on the court was like cheating, leaving everyone behind.

If the ace of their team is removed.

I can only comment on Eijun Sawamura.

It has to be said that this first grade kid is growing at a really scary rate.

You must know that Sawamura has just joined the Seido High School baseball team, although he has two years of playing experience before.

But for the guys on the Qingdao High School baseball team, his playing experience is not much different than none.

When he came, he was basically a blank slate.

Now, in just three months, he is able to throw sharp pitches against the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.

At least until now, this first-year kid's performance is still remarkable.

Even when facing the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, he was not at a disadvantage.

"Keep it up like this!"

Under the guidance of Miyuki Kazuya, Sawamura Eijun's pitching was extremely sharp.

"Whoosh!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, the baseball is in front of the batter.

The ninth batter of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team had his previous thoughts reappearing in his mind.

So fast! !

Obviously Sawamura Eijun's pitching speed is only average.

But because you can't see the release point of his pitch, if you really stand in the strike zone, the ball speed is at least 10 kilometers faster.

In this way, his pitch is basically equivalent to a true fastball.

Coupled with the pitch difference, it becomes more difficult for the batter to hit the ball.

"Obviously he's just a first-year relief pitcher, how can he be so strong?"

The ninth batsman of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team was obviously extremely unconvinced.

Even though he was gritting his teeth, he swung the bat in his hand with all his strength.

"Fly out here!!!"

Seeing his impressive performance, many players and supporters of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team were greatly touched.

Although they can't play in person.

But they also seem to want to transfer their power to the hitters.

"Fight it out!!!"

"Ping!"

Perhaps it was everyone's mental strength that played a role, and the bat actually touched the baseball.

The fans in the stands cheered.

The batter on the strike zone also showed joy in his eyes.

"It's done!!"

He was also betting, and now it looks like he won the bet.

Finally he actually touched the ball.

With his terrifying striking power, even if he didn't hit the center of the ball, it was still enough to take the ball away.

In this way, he still has a high probability of getting a hit.

Just when the ninth batter of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team was feeling hopeful.

"Hip-hop!!"

A vigorous figure had already jumped out and knocked the ball out of his hand, but it was not caught in his glove.

"Snapped!"

"Out!!"

Kuramochi looked at the baseball in his hand with a smile.

Although his attitude towards his classmates in the same dormitory has never been very good.

But he also had to admit that the junior boy in the same dormitory as him did have two skills on the court.

The other party was completely fooled by him.

In fact, the ninth batter of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team didn't understand it until the end of the game.

Why did the ball that was supposed to fly out suddenly turn a corner?

It wasn't until he returned to the rest area that he heard his teammates' comments.

"It's a weird ball! That little guy's pitching has unknown changes hidden in it."

Hearing this answer, the face of the ninth batter of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team turned pale.

"how is this possible?"

What if Sawamura Eijun also had a unique skill like Quirk Ball?

Then his threat to the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team has risen to the point where it is impossible to attach.

The ninth batsman of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team was unwilling to admit this in any case.

"That's the truth! Not only does the opponent have a Quirk Ball, but they also use their own Quirk Ball extremely well."

In the past, Eijun Sawamura could only barely throw the ball into the strike zone.

As for after this, how to distinguish in the strike zone?

There was no way he could do it.

But now, the first-year relief pitcher on the Seido High School baseball team keeps throwing the ball into the inside corner.

"If there are one or two goals, it may be a coincidence that so many consecutive balls are aimed at the inside corner..."

The players on the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team knew that this could not be a coincidence.

It seems, except for the monster ace named Akatsuki Furuya. The first-year pitcher on the Seido High School baseball team has also awakened.

“Things get more troublesome!!”

The game has entered the sixth game, and Fang Guxiao went to rest early.

This means that the Seido High School baseball team is ready for his return.

There is still not much time left for the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.

If they still can't score points in this round.

Then it will be very difficult for them to find scoring opportunities.

"We can't sit still and wait for death, everything depends on you!"

The first bat of the bat was reincarnated, and little black man Carl Ross stepped onto the strike zone.

The one point that the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team has scored now is the result of little black man Carl Ross. His original position in the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team was very special. Coupled with his previous achievements, he is now even more highly regarded in the team.

So much so that by this time, many players and supporters of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team subconsciously thought.

The little black man will take care of the trouble!

If it's him, it must be fine.

When Karl Ross himself stood in the strike zone, he could clearly feel the expectations of his teammates for him.

"Don't you look at me like this and make me feel so stressed?"

The little black man complained in his heart.

Of course he understands the friends of their team, including their team's supporters.

What are you looking forward to at this time?

This is actually the same for him himself.

Who doesn't want to hit the ball?

Go all out and be clean...

But the question is, is this first-year guy on the Seido High School baseball team really that easy to deal with?

Although Sawamura is not as good as Furuya, that doesn't mean he isn't difficult to deal with?

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

Carl Rose didn't choose to bunt.

Facing Sawamura's pitching, he bravely chose to go head-on.

"There's no point in bunting, I'm going to hit the ball out!!"

"Ping!!"

After the white baseball was hit, it flew high under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes at the scene.

This made some reporters in the stands excited.

"Are you going to fly out?"

Although Carl Ross is the first batsman of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.

Although the little black man is best known not for his hitting prowess, but for his speed.

But this does not mean that his striking power is not terrifying!

Those who are familiar with the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team and the little black man Carl Ross must know this.

This man's striking power is equally terrifying!

He is one of the top hitters in Tokyo and even the country.

It was like now that Sawamura's pitch was hit hard by him.

The baseball drew a huge arc in the sky and fell toward the outfield.

"You must not make a mistake!!"

Sawamura turned his head and glanced in the direction where the baseball fell.

Especially one look at the man preparing to catch the ball.

The substitute ace of the Seido High School baseball team suddenly felt his heart go cold.

How could it be him?

Like any other senior on the Seido High School baseball team, Sawamura would be very relieved.

He has almost blind trust in the team's second- and third-year seniors.

But this ball happened to land on top of Jiang Guxiao's head.

Although this guy is an outfielder, his performance is remarkable.

But I don't know why, Sawamura Eijun just doesn't trust him.

I always feel that if the baseball falls to him, something bad might happen at some point...

However, just when this thought came to Sawamura's mind.

The white baseball has been firmly caught by Fang Gu in his glove.

"Snapped!"

"Out!!"

With two outs and no one on base.

Eijun Sawamura got two outs.

Players from the Aomichi High School baseball team in the dugout, and those supporters of their team in the stands.

At this time, everyone was extremely excited.

This scene is so spectacular!

They didn't even know what kind of expression they should use to greet the arrival of this scene.

"So handsome!"

"Your performance is not inferior to that of the ace at all!"

The fans in the stands said anything.

But Sawamura Eijun was only impressed by these two sentences.

He smiled and waved to the stands.

"You big idiot, the game isn't over yet."

"Now is not the time to celebrate!!!"

As a senior in the same dormitory, Kuramochi felt that his fists were particularly itchy.

He couldn't help it anymore and wanted to give some love education to his fellow students in the same dormitory.

Just as everyone was talking about it, the second batter of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team came on the field.

The fans were just watching.

But the players of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team are different.

They have felt the huge crisis, and they seem to see the fate of failure waving towards them.

Players on the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team can tolerate other things.

But failure is something they cannot tolerate no matter what.

“Action must be taken!!”

As the team's second batter, Shirakawa stepped into the batter's box and immediately assumed a bunt posture.

Not only that, but he pressed his body tightly against the edge of the strike zone.

Seeing this scene, Miyuki looked up in surprise.

He never expected that the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team would respond so quickly?

According to his original idea, he only needed to fool around with an out number.

They will be easy to deal with in the next round.

But the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team obviously has no intention of following their script, and they have already taken action.

And this guy named Shirakawa could see through Sawamura's weaknesses almost at a glance.

So far, Sawamura has indeed been able to shoot some good quality inside corners.

This made his entire pitching level suddenly improve a lot.

But at the same time, they also have to face some problems.

First of all, the first thing is that Sawamura Eijun's ball control is not as good as everyone imagined.

In other words, except for inside corners, it is actually difficult for him to accurately shoot other positions.

Once the opponent blocks the inside corner kick.

Sawamura will become very passive.

Unless he can throw a high-quality inside corner ball while being blocked again.

Shirakawa's current approach of pressing all his body on the edge of the strike zone is actually a double-edged sword.

On the surface, it seems that he did block Sawamura's inside corner kick.

But if Sawamura is in this situation, he can still take an inside corner kick.

The ones who are embarrassed are them.

With his body so close to the strike zone, he has no way of shooting inside corners.

Miyuki Kazuya hesitated again and again.

He finally decided to give it a try.

After all, escaping is not an option. At this time, they only need an inside corner kick to completely break the opponent's blockade.

"Come on! Don't worry, just throw the ball with all your strength."

Seeing Miyuki's signal, Sawamura opened his stance and shot the ball decisively.

"Whoosh!"

The white baseball roared out.

The position of this ball is slightly off.

The ball that was supposed to enter the strike zone hit Shirakawa directly.
