Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 283 exploded the audience! (-in-)

In the second round of Koshien, the Aomichi High School baseball team played against St. Daphne in the second half of the third inning.

St. Daphne attacks.

"boom!"

The white baseball is like an unknown little monster, passing through the strike zone.

Alex, who was standing on the strike zone, was holding back his energy and wanted to hit the flying baseball away.

But when he actually saw the goal, he was stunned.

He didn't have time to react as the baseball flew past his eyes.

"How could it happen, so quickly?"

Although Alex is also a fastball pitcher himself.

But it doesn't matter if he pitches to others. When it's his turn to hit, the feeling is completely different.

“158 kilometers!!”

The numbers displayed on the huge electronic scoreboard became a huge burden on Alex.

No matter how hard he tried to get rid of her, he couldn't get rid of her.

The beautiful reporter Akiko Owada who was sitting in the stands asked in amazement.

"I admit that Furiya's ball speed is very fast, but it's not as magical as the seniors said, right?"

From Owada Akiko's point of view, she believed that this was Fukiya's normal performance.

His ball speed isn't much faster?

Fujio, wearing a peaked cap on his head, shook his head with certainty.

"You don't understand!"

what?
Owada Akiko looked at her senior in confusion.

Could it be that there is something else that a senior novice like her didn't see?

“降谷同学之前也能将自己的球速飙升到158，乃至159。但那都是偶尔才有的操作，大部分时候他的球速也就维持在150~156之间。甚至偶尔还会出现140多公里的投球。”

This is Shitaya’s true average ball speed.

"So what?"

Owada Akiko obviously still didn't understand the hidden meaning of her senior.

"But now, the slowest ball speeds of these balls are all above 155 kilometers. Most of them are even , . Do you know what this means?"

"what?"

Owada Akiko vaguely noticed something.

But she didn't waste her brain cells and asked the question directly.

Fujio pressed the tongue depressor on his head and replied in a low voice.

"Although the fastest ball speed has only increased by one kilometer, his true ball speed, that is, his average pitching speed, has almost risen by a level. From 150 to 155!!"

Fujio's tone was calm.

But the content of his words was like a bolt from the blue.

A truly powerful fastball pitcher cannot guarantee that the speed of all his pitches will be maintained at a peak level.

A high school student in Jiang Gu actually did it?

And he did it without any burden, as if it were a matter of course.

"Is it so amazing?"

No matter how slow Owada Akiko's reaction was, she had already understood what her senior said.

Shenggu, who was originally able to maintain the previous ball speed, is already nearly invincible on the court.

Now, has his ball speed reached a higher level?

So, isn't he really invincible?

Even if his opponent is a star player from North America, it doesn't make any difference.

Just when Akiko Owada had this idea in her mind, Akatsuki Furiya threw the third ball cleanly.

"boom!"

The pitch exploded.

All the fans in the audience looked at Feng Gu unconsciously.

It feels like watching a superstar in the professional arena.

“So handsome!!”

Alex, standing on the strike zone, certainly couldn't feel this way.

When he saw the white baseball flying towards him, his eyes were blank.

how come?
How can it be? ?
After all, he is also the proud son of North America, and his talent is not just pitching.

His attacks are also very specific.

This is why he was so confident before that he stood on the strike zone and wanted to hit Fukitani's pitch.

But now.

The moment he saw the baseball pitched with his own eyes.

This proud man who came all the way from North America fell into deep confusion.

Baseball is so fast!
Even if he is already prepared and wants to take action before the baseball enters the strike zone.

But when the baseball really flew over, he still couldn't react in time.

That kind of terrifying speed has far exceeded the level of high school students.

Alex gritted his teeth and knocked out the bat in his hand.

Of course he couldn't touch anything.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"strike out!"

All this seems natural.

The Qingdao players and supporters in the stands were all so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

Although it is not the first time for many people to watch it.

But every time they watch Fang Gu show his prowess on the court, their feelings will still be different.

It seems like right now, the eyes of many people looking at the stadium are full of enthusiasm.

"As expected of you!"

"big boss!!!"

"You are invincible!!!"

The cheers from those in the stands became more and more explicit.

Of course it was impossible for Jiang Gu to hear everything clearly.

But he had good ears, and even if he couldn't hear everything clearly, he could vaguely hear part of it.

Just what he heard made Jiang Gu want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

"You guys..."

Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, was very aware of the problems his partner was currently facing.

But Qingdao's main catcher didn't pay attention to this at all.

No matter what the fans say, in his eyes, it is irrelevant.

The key is to look at Jiangu himself.

Based on Miyuki's understanding of his partner, his ace is just a first-year player.

But their ace's concentration on the game is even worse than that of the third-year seniors.

Not to mention, their ace has been attracting everyone's attention since he entered high school.

He has already met not only professional scouts and supervisors, but even people from the major leagues.

It's just some compliments from the fans, even if these compliments are a bit disgusting.

But so what?

For Fangtani himself, this is a genuine little scene.

He must be able to handle it very easily.

"Come on, next is the opponent's first shot. You probably don't need any strategy, just aim at the center of the strike zone."

Miyuki Kazuya was already keenly aware of it at this time.

Fang Guxiao didn't intend to throw it so fast, he didn't intend to excessively consume his own physical strength.

But their ace, happened to be in a very wonderful state.

To put it bluntly, he went crazy on the field.

Miyuki didn't know the reason.

But he knew how to cooperate with his partner in this state?
If they cooperate well, or simply put, if he can guide well...

Then maybe their ace can really take it to the next level.

Saint-Dolf's leading hitter didn't know this was the case.

After he stood in the strike zone, he still recalled the words of their supervisor in his mind.

"If you go head-to-head with a monster of that level, it's not that I look down on you. I'm afraid you won't win. In this case, let's do the next best thing and wear down the opponent's physical strength first. Find a way to get him to shoot more. As long as Alex can ensure not to lose points, the balance of the game will favor us sooner or later.”

Being told this by his own supervisor, the Saint-Dolf player certainly felt uncomfortable.

They were even a little bit unconvinced. But think about it carefully, is there really a problem with what their supervisor said?
Maybe not.

Although the two sides did not fight for a long time.

But the sense of oppression brought by Qingdao's first-year ace was real.

In a head-on confrontation with him, does your side really have a chance of winning?
I'm afraid not.

On the other hand, what their supervisor said was not pleasant to hear.

But what he said is not the truth?
You must know that the ace of their team is Alex from North America.

The races on both sides are different.

Alex's pitching endurance is unmatched by ordinary people.

Yet even so, let Alex pitch for long periods of time, even consecutive pitches. He's not immune to problems.

The ace of the Seido High School baseball team made a lot of pitches in their opening game of the first round.

Now he was replaced so early?

The Saint-Dolf players firmly believe that as long as they can seize this opportunity, it is entirely possible for them to defeat the opponent.

"The opportunity is here!"

With this obsession in mind, the hitter also appears confident when standing in the strike zone.

"Very good, your fighting spirit is very strong!"

Seeing the opponent's performance, Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, had a cunning look in his eyes.

"bring it on!"

I saw Miyuki opening his gloves and getting ready to catch the ball.

Jiang Guxiao's mind instantly became clear.

He didn't know what was going on, but seeing Miyuki's open gloves was like seeing a suction black hole.

He couldn't wait and wanted to pass the white baseball into the opponent's glove.

Do it when you think of it.

Fang Guxiao raised one foot high, and then dropped it heavily. As his body's center of gravity shifted, the baseball in his hand whizzed out.

"boom!!"

The moment the white baseball flew out, it was like a cannonball exploding.

Tens of thousands of fans in the Koshien stands were stunned.

Including Qingdao's die-hard supporters, they had doubts in their hearts when they saw this goal.

Is this really a ball thrown by a high school student?

You know, they know Jiang Guxiao's identity very well.

However, even so, their eyes were still full of doubts and disbelief.

Before anyone could figure it out, the white baseball was whizzing by.

People only saw that the batter on the strike zone was like a fool, watching the baseball fly past his eyes.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Before he could figure it out, the second ball came.

"boom!"

The moment the white baseball was thrown, Saint-Dolf's first batter felt like his head was going to explode.

"So fast!"

Even if he is fully mentally prepared, even if he has already seen a ball.

By the time they met for the second time, Saint-Dolf's No. 2 hitter still had the urge to run away.

too fast!
It was as if baseball was swallowing him whole.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

The batter was chased.

Such disregard by the opponent will undoubtedly arouse the anger of the players.

But that's not the most annoying thing.

The most difficult thing for St. Daphne to accept as the first batter was the position of Fangtani's pitch.

The opponent didn't take him seriously at all, and the two consecutive pitches were in the center of the strike zone.

"This disgusting bastard!!"

What's the difference between this and playing games?
Saint-Dolf's first batter looked up at Feng Gu fiercely.

Even though he knew that he had no way of hitting the ball.

He also wants to give it his all!
As long as the white baseball flies in front of him, he will strike without mercy.

"boom!!"

The white baseball appears again.

And the location of this pitch is still in the middle of the strike zone.

The fans in the stands obviously had no way of paying attention to this.

But that doesn't stop them from enjoying it.

Standing on the batter's box, St. Daphne's No. 1 bat watched the baseball approaching, with a stubborn light shining in his eyes.

"Courageous!"

He grasped the bat tightly with both hands, waited until the baseball approached, and then shot with all his strength.

"Don't underestimate me!!!"

The young man shouted slogans loudly, but the bat he swung didn't even touch a hair.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"strike out!!"

St. Daphne's first batter was out just like that.

It feels a bit sloppy.

But when he swung the bat for the last time, his swing missed.

"hateful!"

When Saint-Dolf's leadoff hitter returned to the dugout, his face was still angry.

"How about it?"

Seeing the hitter's return, the Saint-Dolf players swarmed over.

Although Alex and No. 1 have finished fighting.

But Saint-Dolf's attack was not over.

The hitters who are about to take the field are in urgent need of information.

Facing an opponent of Jianggu's level, if they don't arrange things in advance, they won't be able to defeat them at all.

“There’s no gimmicks, the pitch is right in the middle of the strike zone.”

Saint-Dolf's first batter clearly understood Miyuki and Furiya's intentions.

But by the time he understood, it was a little too late.

He's gone.

On the surface, the ace partners of the Seido High School baseball team seemed to be deliberately irritating them.

But in fact, the real intentions of these two guys are more sinister.

The other party's real intention was to undermine Saint Daphne's confidence.

Of course, the pitching of Seido ace Furitani couldn't last long.

With such a terrifying ball speed, it would be hell if he could keep throwing it.

Because of this, the two came up with this plan.

The opponents couldn't hit it anyway, so they simply threw all the pitches in the middle of the strike zone.

After the St. Daphne players stepped into the batter's box, when they found that they couldn't even hit the ball in the middle of the strike zone?
What despair will they fall into?

Once this impression is deeply ingrained, even in the later games, Furitani's pitching slows down.

Or simply switch to another pitcher.

It would be difficult for St. Daphne to do anything.

"Don't be so self-righteous!"

Just when Saint-Dolf's first batter muttered in dissatisfaction.

There are new changes on the court.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!!"

"nice shot!!!"

"strike out!!"

"Three out, offense and defense exchange."
