Chapter 284: Saint Daphne feels like he’s seeing a ghost

Chapter 284: Saint Daphne feels like he’s seeing a ghost (two-in-one)

"Wow!!"

"This child is really amazing!"

"158?"

“I can’t believe it!!”

……

The fans in the stands cheered and exclaimed one after another.

Even Sawamura's parents and grandfather are no exception.

They are not senior fans, but even so, they can see how amazing Furiya's pitching is?
"Being in the same team with such a monster, it's a shame that that brat still got a chance to play."

Sawamura's grandfather said with emotion.

There was a bit of pride in his words.

Although grandpa doesn't know much about baseball, there is a truth that he still understands.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Their precious grandson can stay on the same team as such a powerful player and stand on the field one after another.

Even if his grandson's performance is not as good as others.

That fully proves that his grandson is no longer an ordinary young player.

It's about being able to take the stage at Koshien Stadium and show off his baseball genius in front of fans across the country.

"Xiao Rong, he has been competing with such monsters..."

The childhood sweetheart Wakana also caused huge waves in her heart.

They are definitely not alone.

Many fans at the scene were deeply shocked by Fang Gu's pitching.

Such a fast pitch is extremely rare.

A pitcher who continuously uses this kind of ball will be as dominant as a devil on the court.

They were all dazzled, completely immersed in Fanggu's pitching.

In the dugout area of St. Dov, the players were no longer talking.

They are afraid that their supervisor will get angry.

But contrary to their expectations, Guanyue's performance was mediocre.

He didn't get mad at everyone because they couldn't touch the ball.

"Just keep our own pace and don't be led by the other party."

He just warned everyone.

"Yes!"

The game came to the first half of the fourth inning, and Qingdao High School attacked.

The first one to step into the strike zone was their team's fourth bat, Yuki.

The fans in the stands cheered Yuuki's name crazily.

For these die-hard supporters of Qingdao, they don't have to believe in others, but they will definitely believe in Yuki.

And it’s unconditional trust!
"Fight it out!"

"It's up to you, Captain!!"

The partners in the Qingdao rest area also had expectations in their eyes.

Like those fans, they also eagerly hope to see someone who can change the current situation of the war.

And who has the greatest hope?
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team will definitely elect the captain of their team without hesitation.

When Yuki stood in the strike zone, he felt like a battle-experienced samurai.

He raised the bat in his hand like a samurai's sword.

When the baseball wasn't coming, he didn't move.

Once the baseball comes flying, he immediately explodes into a thunderous swing.

Saint-Dolf's main catcher raised his head and glanced at Yuuki, frowning subconsciously.

"What an annoying waiting position!"

Although they look down on Qingdao, they think Qingdao is just a local indigenous school that has not been baptized by the world at all.

But they also had to admit it.

There are two players in Qingdao, and they are different.

First of all, the first one is, of course, Qingdao’s ace, Fenggu.

It's hard to say anything else. Even when they were in North America, they had never seen that terrifying ball speed.

The other one is the fourth player of their team.

This guy's swing is too high.

What if it was not Alex who was pitching now, but Jack, the black pitcher from before.

Maybe Saint-Dolf's main catcher simply gave him a signal and walked him out.

But now, it's Alex who's pitching.

"The ace of our team is not that easy to mess with. Come on!!"

The catcher opened his glove and secretly called out the signal.

"No need to bother, my pitching is not something that everyone can hit."

Alex on the mound, head held high.

When he struck before, he was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent it.

Now that the two sides were facing each other head-on, even though it was in another way, he wanted to take revenge.

Lift your legs high and put them down!
As his body's center of gravity shifted, Alex put all his strength on the two fingers that were throwing the ball.

The white baseball seemed to be under tremendous pressure.

"boom!"

The moment the baseball flew out, there was a series of gasps.

So strong!

Not to mention neutral fans, even many die-hard supporters of Qingdao were a little stunned after seeing this goal.

This ball, although the overall ball speed is a bit slower.

But the momentum of the baseball flying out was no weaker than Fukiya's pitch.

But just when everyone was stunned.

Yuuki, who was standing on the strike zone, suddenly moved.

He took one step forward, and the bat in his hand was like thunder.

"boom!!"

Saint-Dolf's main catcher felt a black shadow suddenly appear in front of him.

Before he could see clearly what the black shadow was?
He heard the sound of the bat hitting the baseball.

"Ping!"

Faced with such a terrifying opponent, Yuuki, the captain of the Seido High School baseball team, did not wait.
The moment the baseball flew in front of his eyes, he hit it out without mercy.

The baseball that was hit was extremely fast.

The players in the Saint-Dolf dugout, including their team's supervisor Guan Yue, all stood up in disbelief.

They had considered many kinds of surprises before.

But there was one thing they had never considered.

That was their team's ace, who was easily defeated by their opponents.

This was never within their scope of consideration, not from the beginning to the end.

They watched helplessly as the baseball flew all the way to the back of the field.

If the ball hits the ground and bounces, the consequences will be disastrous.

Even Guan Yue, who had been relatively calm before, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat at this time.

At this critical moment, a figure like a black whirlwind quickly ran to the landing point of the baseball.

The moment the baseball was about to hit the ground, he flew up and firmly caught the ball in his glove.

"Snapped!"

"Out!!"

When the dust settled on the result, many teammates from the Qingdao High School baseball team couldn't help but hold their foreheads.

To be honest, this is undoubtedly a scene they are extremely unwilling to see.

But this scene happened right in front of them.

"St. Daphne is not the only one who is powerful. The other players are also the main players of wealthy families or even stronger."

Fujio, a senior reporter from Baseball Kingdom magazine, gave a very pertinent evaluation.

If the opponent is not Qingdao.

Saint Daphne, who has just entered Koshien, will definitely become the famous super dark horse in Koshien this year.

It is precisely because of the comparison with Qingdao that the fans subconsciously ignore the strength of their team.

But it's one thing for fans to subconsciously ignore it.

Their strength itself is another matter.

Even if they didn't leave a strong impression on everyone present before, their strength is genuine. Now, it just proves their strength.

"Our opponent doesn't look so easy to defeat!"

In Qingdao's rest area, Director Kataoka said in a deep voice.

The game is still going on, and Qingdao's fifth bat has already reached the strike zone.

"The fifth bat, No. 1, pitcher, Furitani-san!"

Fang Gu's name appeared on the radio.

The fans who were still feeling sorry for Yuki in the stands immediately changed their attitudes after hearing this name.

They started shouting wildly.

"Fight it out!"

"It's up to you, monster boy!!"

In the rest area of Saint Daphne, Guan Yue, who just felt relieved, couldn't help but feel excited again.

I have to say that these guys on the Seido High School baseball team are really tough to deal with.

No wonder Jack lost a full three points in the first round of the match between the two sides.

Even if they have overcome one difficulty, they now have to face the next one.

"If we want to completely suppress this team, we must also deal with this man!"

Superintendent St. Daphne, though said nothing.

But his eyes, including his expression, conveyed his intentions to the pitcher.

Alex on the pitcher's mound naturally understood the meaning of his own supervision.

But his heart was shaken just now.

Although the ball just now was blocked by Black Jack, it is a fact that the baseball was sent flying.

If Jack hadn't reacted quickly enough, the ball just now could have turned into a long hit to second base.

"This monster! Can he even hit a ball more than 150 kilometers away?"

Alex had to take another look at Yuuki.

At the same time, he had to re-examine Jiang Gu.

To talk about the monsters in the Seido High School baseball team, Yuuki must be one, and Fukiya is at least two.

Whether it's when he's pitching or when he's in the strike zone hitting.

He gives people the impression that he is crushing everything...

"call!!"

Alex took a deep breath on the mound and let it out hard.

He carefully stared at the drop in the strike zone and blatantly gave his team's main catcher a signal.

"Do you really want to do this?"

St. Daph's main catcher had a look of astonishment in his eyes.

It was obvious that he was somewhat hesitant about his ace decision.

According to what they had discussed before, the code Alex just typed was the code to go all out.

In other words, from this moment on, they no longer have any reservations.

This is also why Saint-Dolf's main catcher felt hesitant.

According to what they had originally discussed, Alex's trick could only be used at the last moment.

"These opponents in front of us cannot be defeated by retaining our strength."

Alex on the mound was extremely determined.

Especially the duel he just had with Yuuki gave the ace of St. Daphne a clear understanding.

Although in most games, he can easily crush his opponents with his terrifying ball speed of more than 150 kilometers.

But the opponent in front of him was obviously not among the majority.

They are an extremely rare breed.

It's a type that you have to go all out to deal with.

"All right!"

Saint-Dolf's main catcher raised his head and glanced at Akatsuki Fanggu.

Although it is different from Yuki's state.

But the sense of threat emanating from this man is actually no worse than Yuuki.

We just finished the game and have already hit the ball.

They no longer dare to underestimate the offensive power of Qingdao players.

And there is another difference between Fang Gu and Yuuki, that is, this boy's explosive power is stronger.

If it were replaced, he would hit the ball.

The baseball is likely to fly directly into the outfield stands, giving them no chance to connect with the ball.

"bring it on!"

Thinking of this, the main catcher squatted down and opened his gloves.

After Alex nodded slightly, he threw the ball with all his strength.

"boom!!"

The moment the white baseball was thrown, a huge cracking sound erupted.

Fang Gu watched helplessly as the ball flew past his eyes.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

Saint-Dolf's main catcher, who was squatting in the catcher's position, was shocked when he saw Jiang Gu's action.

When Alex proposed it before, the main catcher of Saint-Dolf was still hesitant.

Have they really reached that point?
However, seeing Furitani's performance of observing the ball, the main catcher of St. Daphne instantly confirmed this.

That's right!

He was absolutely unmistakable.

The monster first grader of the Seido High School baseball team is already planning to hit the ball.

He faced the 150-kilometer pitch without any fear at all.

And he showed the feeling that he could handle this kind of ball easily.

"bring it on!"

Thinking of this, Saint-Dolf's main catcher gave a secret signal.

"boom!!"

Explosive pitching, again.

Jiang Gu, who was standing on the strike zone, had a blank look in his eyes.

His mind was blank, not thinking about anything.

When you see a baseball coming, just take action.
