Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 279 Shocked, Return from the Valley! ! (-in-)

The game came to the second half of the second inning, and Saint-Dolf attacked.

St. Daphne's momentum was astonishing.

After their new pitcher came on the field, the feeling of the entire team completely changed.

Although they performed well before, anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that they have actually been suppressed and beaten by Qingdao.

And from beginning to end, their counterattacks were ineffective.

After Alex came on the court, the Saint-Dolf players seemed to be transformed.

During their duel with Qingdao, they showed extremely strong determination.

The fourth bat, standing on the strike zone, stared at Sawamura eagerly.

The bulging muscles all over his body seemed to hide terrifying power.

It feels like there is no way baseball can escape his bat.

Miyuki, who noticed this, immediately gave Sawamura a secret signal: "Don't worry about your opponent, use your strength."

At this time, the most important thing for Sawamura is not his long performance.

That kind of thing is something that can only happen.

Unless faced with a desperate situation, players must exclude this possibility when thinking about the game.

In this case, the most important thing for Sawamura at the moment is to steadily utilize his own strengths and strengths.

Defeat your opponent cleanly!
Miyuki knew this very well, so he gave Sawamura the code very simply.

The purpose is to tell the little guy, what should he do at this time?
Sawamura's understanding is still very high.

In other words, his thoughts are very pure.

The fearful thought in his heart just flashed past.

He quickly returned to normal and began to focus on his opponent.

"Go all out to shoot the ball well and act according to the guidance of your seniors!"

Although Sawamura said he was dissatisfied with Miyuki a thousand or ten thousand times.

But in his heart, he actually understood very well how powerful this Qingdao main catcher was.

He is a very reliable partner!
This is completely different from when Sawamura was in Nagano Prefecture.

He only needs to follow the guidance of his partner to exert his super strength and defeat powerful enemies in one go.

Lift your legs, take steps...

As the body's center of gravity shifted, the baseball in Sawamura's hand also whizzed out.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball flashed by.

Standing in the batter's box, No. 4 St. Daphne's eyes widened in surprise.

Although he had heard a lot of rumors about Sawamura before he stepped onto the strike zone.

In his mind, just like Ming Jing, this Qingdao substitute pitcher was by no means an ordinary little Karami.

If you don't show the determination to fight against the ace, I'm afraid there is no way to defeat this guy.

With this belief in mind, Saint-Dolf's fourth batter stepped into the batter's box.

According to his original idea, his duel with Sawamura should be the kind of confrontation where powerful forces collide.

But actually standing in the strike zone and actually facing Sawamura's pitches, the feeling was instantly different.

From a spectator's perspective, Sawamura's pitching is not sharp.

But when you look at it from the strike zone, the white baseball is much faster.

And in this process, the batter has no way of seeing the release point.

So much so that when they judge the timing of swinging the bat, they are unable to make accurate judgments.

If only that was it.

The biggest headache for Saint-Dolf's fourth bat is this little guy named Sawamura. At the end of the pitch, the baseball will make irregular changes.

This made him unable to aim for a while?
"Weird little guy!!"

Saint-Dolf's fourth bat raised his head and looked at Sawamura seriously.

On the first ball, he did not take a shot, but chose to let it go.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Qingdao players and supporters felt like they had been given a shot in the arm when they saw this scene.

Although the tactics of both sides are different, there are some things that cannot be changed.

For example, the arrangement of their batting order.

The player at Saint-Dolf's fourth spot may not be their team's strongest hitter.

But as the core slugger, he is definitely the top hitter on the Saint-Dolf team.

Even one of the best.

The impression that St. Daphne has left on everyone so far is that it is unfathomable.

How much of a threat will Qingdao be to Qingdao, who is one of the best players in this team?
You can think of it with your toenails.

It is precisely because everyone thought of this that everyone felt inexplicably nervous when they watched the duel between the two.

But now it seems that they are worrying too much.

The boy named Sawamura may not be as good as their ace, but he is definitely an outstanding player.

Applause and cheers from the fans followed one after another.

In the stands, Ozawamura's grandfather and parents also looked at each other.

They do know that their own village, Ozawa, is doing well now.

Not only did he get into Seido's team, he also became a member of the team, and even participated in the Koshien competition with the team.

But before, most of the time they had only watched the heroic performances of their children and grandchildren in front of the TV.

They had rarely seen Sawamura's on-site charm.

The last time I saw him was during the Nishi-Tokyo regional finals.

Although the scene in that game was also shocking.

But that kind of shock is nothing compared to now.

This is the stage of Koshien.

Moreover, Sawamura Eijun's performance on the court is much better than before.

"When did Xiaorong become so powerful?"

Sawamura's mother has stars in her eyes.

The girl sitting next to Sawamura's mother also had an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes.

The boy who led them forward in the past has now truly grown into a big star on the baseball field.

As a childhood sweetheart, Wakana has mixed feelings in her heart.

However, just when they were proud of their former youth, the situation on the court suddenly changed.

After just observing the ball, the fourth batter of St. Daphne tightened his grip on the bat in his hand and made a gesture of preparing to hit.

Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, frowned when he saw this scene.

"Are you bluffing? Or have you really discovered something?"

Because there is too little information collected, even a strong person like Miyuki cannot see through the other party's character and predict the other party's next plan.

"Come on, let's shoot our own shots first!"

Unable to see through the other party's intentions for a while, Miyuki decided to play it safe.

They get one out first and then talk about it.

Seeing Miyuki's code, Sawamura didn't hesitate.

"Whoosh!"

The white baseball roared out.

Looking at the baseball flying towards him, Miyuki opened his gloves and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

The pitching speed and angle are not bad.

Of course, if you have strict requirements. The ball thrown by Sawamura cannot be regarded as completely flawless.

Minor flaws and shortcomings still exist.

However, considering the strength and level of Sawamura's pitching, he can still throw such a ball cleanly in this situation.

In Miyuki's opinion, this is already a very rare thing.

As long as the ball is of this level, it is not easy for their opponents to hit the ball.

Just when this thought came into Miyuki's mind, their opponent moved without warning.

There were no signs before. Saintoff's fourth pitch suddenly took a step forward, and he released the ball before it entered the strike zone.

"boom!"

The bat swings like a hurricane passing through.

"Ping!"

Before the white baseball had time to change, it was directly carried away by the largest metal bat.

When Qingdao's friends saw the ball flying out, they immediately predicted the landing point and chased it in advance.

The fans in the stands had closed their eyes in pessimism.

They may not be professional in baseball, but as die-hard fans, they can still judge some basic things.

For example, right now, a white baseball flies by. In their minds, just like Ming Jing, the players cannot stop the ball from hitting its target.

This is true.

Even though the mustachioed senior ran very fast, by the time he stopped the ball, Saint-Dolf's first pitch was already almost at first base.

The mustachioed senior could only pass the ball with all his strength to prevent the opponent from reaching second base.

"Snapped…"

"Safety!"

No one out, second base occupied.

The situation suddenly became tense.

The Qingdao players and supporters all pursed their lips and said nothing.

They could feel that a huge haze had enveloped them.

These guys from St. Daphne are just as difficult as they thought.

Sawamura's performance is definitely not bad.

As members of the same team, if they were asked to evaluate Sawamura, they even thought that Sawamura performed very well.

But even so.

Facing these monsters from St. Daphne, Sawamura was still at a disadvantage.

This is the second game of the game, right?
The fans in the stands could not help but start whispering.

A die-hard supporter of Qingdao, don't look at the way he acted like a crazy fan before.

As long as it is Qingdao's decision, they all support it 100%.

But the situation now is obviously different.

No matter how much they like Sawamura, looking at Sawamura's appearance, it seems like they can't fight against him.

Saint-Dolf's fourth shot was not simply about hitting the ball. He used his personal experience to set an example for everyone.

What should they do to deal with Sawamura's weird ball so that it can fly away?

Once the Saint-Dolf players really get used to this.

So you can imagine how they will perform in the next game?
If Saint-Dolf's players are not strong enough, that's not a cause for concern.

As long as Sawamura is in good condition, even if the opponent finds a way to crack his pitch, they may not be able to hit his ball.

Sawamura's courage and momentum in pitching have always been very strong in the minds of his friends.

But the problem now is that the strength shown by the Saint-Dolf players is definitely strong.

In this case, if they want to face off against each other, they will have to be at their best.

"careful!"

"How about replacing someone else..."

Some people reminded Sawamura to be careful, and some people had already thought of replacing him.

Miyuki, who was squatting at the catcher's position, ignored the opinions of the fans in the stands.

Although the current situation is somewhat unfavorable, they are still three points ahead of their opponents.

Sawamura's condition is not bad either.

"Maybe it's a coincidence!"

Just when Miyuki thought so and comforted Sawamura.

Saint-Dolf's fifth pitcher came on the pitch, a black pitcher named Jack.

It seems that this player is not only good at pitching, he is also very good at it.

Even in the strike zone, he's a pretty solid bat.

Black Jack held the bat high and stared at Sawamura without blinking.

His intention to take revenge was extremely obvious.

Miyuki called the signal, and Sawamura threw the ball decisively.

They can't give up their pitching rhythm and style just because of the fourth hit by Saint-Dolf.

"Whoosh!"

White baseball, whizzing out.

"You idiots, the same tricks won't work on us."

Black Jack took a step forward.

The bat in his hand also started to move.

"Ping!"

Next thing people saw, the bat hit the white baseball firmly.

The white baseball soared into the sky and landed at the back of the field again.

Fang Gu ran over with all his strength.

Because the distance was too far, even if he moved his legs like crazy, he could only watch the baseball land and bounce in front of his eyes.

"That's too late!"

Qingdao’s friends were filled with sorrow.

They know too well what it means when a baseball hits the ground at the end of the field.

"Follow me!!"

The mustachioed senior shouted loudly.

Although they were too late at this time to block the baseball at the first opportunity.

But they still can't give up!
Feng Gu, who was chasing the ball, was also a smart person who knew everything.

He quickly realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly continued to speed up.

However, no matter how hard he works, it still takes time for him to pick up the ball.

Not to mention, he also has to pass the ball.

No matter how fast Fanggu passes the ball, it still takes time for the baseball to fly over a distance of nearly a hundred meters.

Saint-Dolf's fourth pitch had already reached second base, and third base turned back to home plate.

"Safety!"

Saint-Dolf successfully scored a point.

Not only that, but their runner rushed to second base.

The situation on the field changed to no one out and someone on second base.

The score on the field also became 3:1.

The friends in the Qingdao rest area were all dumbfounded after seeing this scene.

The speed at which the opponent scored was beyond their imagination.

Is there something wrong with Sawamura?

Ask yourself, Qingdao’s friends really don’t think so.

They are very aware of Sawamura's current strength, and he still has many flaws.

Against ordinary opponents, it doesn't stand out.

Facing the proud students of Saint-Dolf, these international students from North America and all over the world.

Sawamura's problems suddenly broke out.

No matter how good the young man's mentality is, he is unable to change anything in the current situation.

"hateful!"

"How to do?"

Just when the friends were in a tangle, Kataoka, who was standing at the front of the team, suddenly raised his hand.

"Aomichi asked for a change of pitcher. Sawamura-san came off the field and Sakai-san came on. Akatsuki Fukitani-san, who was originally in the outfield, became the pitcher."
