Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 290 is hot! (-in-)

In the first half of the ninth inning, the Seido High School baseball team attacks!

The score on the court was still 3:1, and neither side scored any more points.

The Saint-Dolf players were about to collapse after being beaten.

In the ninth game, they suddenly discovered to their surprise that the gap between them and their opponents was not as big as they imagined.

"It's just a two-point gap, there's still a chance!"

"The opponent's ace's pitching speed has slowed down, and we must have a chance."

In this atmosphere, St. Dov appeared ambitious.

The friends in the Qingdao rest area also had gloomy expressions.

According to normal logic, they should have an overwhelming advantage.

But the real situation is not like this.

In addition to scoring at the beginning of the game, their scoring also came to an abrupt end.

Alex from St. Daphne, although his performance was not as strong as Akatsuki Furuya.

But he really suppressed all the batters in Qingdao.

"First bat, No. 6, shortstop, Kuramochi-san!"

The sound of the radio was as crisp as ever.

Many die-hard supporters of Qingdao feel numb in their scalps.

"We haven't gotten a single decent hit since that pitcher named Alex came on the scene."

"The ball speed has remained so fast and it hasn't dropped at all yet."

"Although our team has its downfall, I still have to say that this guy is extraordinary!"

On the baseball field, everything else is fake.

Strength comes first.

Alex, Saint-Dolf's ace pitcher, was not very likeable when he first came on the field.

But now, he has used his actual actions to prove his strength to everyone.

He is really strong.

Kuramochi, who was standing in the strike zone, undoubtedly had a strong say in this matter.

He held the bat high in his hand.

White baseballs whizzed past his eyes.

"boom!"

Before Kuramochi came on the field to attack, the friends on their team were still calculating that the opponent was probably at the end of their game.

"It's impossible for him to keep investing like that, absolutely impossible."

Kuramochi also held this belief and stood on the strike zone.

According to his idea, he must hit the ball with all his strength.

But seeing the baseball flying, Kuramochi's heart was inevitably shaken greatly.

Facing such a monster, he didn't have any confidence at all.

The white baseball roared towards him, and he either gave up or took a swing.

In the end result, there is no difference.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"strike out!!"

One out and no one on base.

As the game progresses, people seem to have seen the result of this game.

The score is 3:1.

This could very well be the final score of this game.

The friends of Qingdao are of course filled with unwillingness.

"Depend on!!"

Although they still have the advantage, although they are likely to be the winner of this game.

But Qingdao's friends were not happy at all.

Although they were ahead, the friends knew better.

The point gap between the two sides has not changed since Alex came on the court.

The opponent did not score.

They also didn't take advantage of Alex at all.

"If this guy comes on directly at the beginning of the game, then maybe..."

There were even fans in the stands who began to raise such questions.

Strictly speaking, their doubts are not a problem.

Although Qingdao can also directly send their team's ace to appear at the beginning of the game.

But even that is the case.

The current score between the two sides is very likely to be 0:0.

This idea made the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team unable to accept it from the bottom of their hearts.

This also means that if the game ends like this.

Then they are equivalent to a tie with the other party.

"How is this possible? You have to hit the ball!"

The second baton comes on.

Kominato Ryosuke gritted his teeth and struggled with the opponent for six full balls.

Eventually he had to get the ball down the field.

"Snapped!"

The Saint-Dolf player was like a cat that smelled something fishy, ​​and immediately pounced on it.

After they picked up the ball, they quickly passed it to first base.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

With two outs and no one on base.

The game is coming to an end, with only two points difference between the two sides.

This obviously deeply stimulated the Saint-Dolf players.

No matter what, they want to give it a last try.

Even the Saint-Dolf players knew in their hearts that their chances of success were slim.

But so what?
If there is no hope at all, then they give up.

The score difference between the two sides is now only a small two points.

The performance of their team's ace Alex is still so outstanding?

What reason do they have for not fighting with all their strength until the last moment?
"There must be a chance!"

"Two out, two out!"

"Just one out to go."

The Saint-Dolf players and supporters were undoubtedly very excited.

On the one hand, the performance of their team's ace on the court is amazing!

On the other hand, Seido's three batters each accounted for their 123 at bats.

Now the one standing in the strike zone is the third bat.

Although the performance of these three players in the strike zone is also very strong.

But comparisons between people should be punished, and comparisons between goods should be thrown away.

If you put them together with the other two players, everyone's thoughts will be different.

For example, let's take the opponent's fourth bat, Yuki, and another example, their fifth bat, Akatsuki Furuya.

Although in the previous duel, their team's ace had solved these two difficult opponents.

But the resolution process was not smooth at all.

Yuki almost hit the ball out, and Fukiya's blow left people with lingering fears.

Don't look at their team's ace Alex, who has not had any problems until now.

But if you meet those two guys again, that may not be the case.

Now in the ninth inning, they don't have to face off against those two guys.

This is undoubtedly a destiny.

"God bless!!"

For the Saint-Dolf players, as long as they can successfully survive this round.

As long as they can get the last number of outs.

Will they have a chance to compete with Qingdao again?
"Except for those two monsters, there is nothing special about the others. Defeat him in one go!!"

"Get the last out!!"

This is the thought of most people in the rest area of ​​Saint-Dolf.

This naturally includes the ace on the mound.

Alex raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

From an onlooker's perspective, many people thought Alex was taking it easy.

In fact, the pressure he endured was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Until now, he has not lost any points.

Alex himself was silently relieved.

"call!!!"

He first took a long breath and tried to calm himself down. "God bless, just two or three more goals..."

Alex's physical strength has already exceeded his own limits.

Akatsuki Fukitani has been able to hold on until now largely because he changed his pitching method in the 7th inning.

Otherwise, he would never have persisted until now with his violent pitching.

The person standing in the batter's box at this time was the third bat of the Seido High School baseball team.

The mustachioed senior, Isashiki Jun.

Those die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team in the stands probably felt that they had little hope.

As for their cheering sounds, they are not as loud as before.

They have already acquiesced to this result.

A draw is a draw...

So what?

Anyway, in the end, they advanced.

Even if Saint-Dolf really arranged it like this from the beginning, dragging the game to an overtime.

The die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team also firmly believe that they will be the ones to win the game in the end.

rather than their opponents.

"Look down on me! Everyone looks down on me..."

Isashiki Jun whispered softly.

The pure senior who likes to be in the limelight is obviously extremely uncomfortable with the atmosphere and attitude around him.

Fans in the stands, including their mates in their own dugouts.

They probably thought he had no hope and left.

If it were just like this, although Senior Mustache would feel unhappy inside, he wouldn't do anything outrageous.

But the current situation is somewhat different.

The veteran of the Seido High School baseball team looked at his opponent who didn't take him seriously at all.

There was fire burning in his eyes.

"Are you so sure that you can reverse it?"

"Are you so sure that you guys will be able to deal with me?"

I think back to when they joined the Qingdao High School baseball team together.

Their players this year are highly questionable.

Almost everyone believed that they had no hope of leading the team forward.

By the time they become third graders, Qingdao will have no hope at all.

This is a bad harvest year.

Headed by Yuuki, plus the other players from their third grade.

No one was convinced.

Whether it's the seniors questioning them or the fans questioning them.

They never gave up.

They gritted their teeth and persisted until now.

The sweat and tears they shed will definitely not be less than that of their predecessors, or even more.

It was in this year that they broke all doubts and successfully led the team to Koshien.

"I have never felt so confident in all these years."

Among their third-year players, there are several talented players.

For example, Yuki, and another example is the devil beater Ryosuke Kominato.

In comparison, the reputation of Pure Senior is not too high.

Even his low popularity is largely due to his overly mature appearance.

No matter it was before or now.

Many teams that had just played against the Seido High School baseball team couldn't help but raise such questions.

"Is the one with the mustache also a high school student?"

Isashiki Jun kept all of this in mind.

He clutched the bat with both hands, veins popping up in his arms.

Although until just now, St. Daphne's ace Alex had behaved like the invincible God of War.

But in fact, this man's pitching is much worse than when he started.

Otherwise, Kominato Ryosuke wouldn't be able to tangle with so many balls.

"But it seems that the people in St. Daphne haven't noticed it yet."

The mustachioed senior narrowed his eyes.

In his mind, like Ming Jing, he didn't have many opportunities.

Don’t look at the current Saint-Dolf players and their team’s supervisors and you haven’t noticed yet.

But once they notice, they will quickly change the situation on the court.

By that time, it will not be easy for them to find such opportunities.

"bring it on!!"

Alex on the pitcher's mound stretched out his stance to throw the ball.

"boom!"

He didn't try his best on the first goal.

Although it was now nearing the end of the game, Alex had reached a certain limit.

Even if he doesn't pitch much, he doesn't want to waste it.

He is very sure that his pitching has a strong influence on Qingdao players.

This third bat doesn't look like he's swinging the bat aggressively.

But now it's two outs. Once he is out, Qingdao's offense will be completely over.

How much pressure is placed on the hitter in this situation?
it goes without saying.

In this case, the probability of the batter swinging the bat on the first pitch is extremely slim.

On the surface, Saint-Dolf's pitchers were taking a risk.

In fact, he has firmly taken control of the game.

He took action confidently.

The moment he saw the baseball flying towards him, the mustachioed senior opened his eyes angrily.

"I've been waiting for a long time!"

Even if he is the last one out, this senior is not timid.

He went for it with all his might.

The bat roared out and hit the baseball directly.

"Ping!"

Seeing the baseball flying out, the hearts of all the Saint-Dolf players went cold.

The ball didn't fly very far.

But it landed right behind the first baseman.

This position is a big gap for defense.

There was simply no way for the Saint-Dolf players to rush over immediately.

They could only watch helplessly as the baseball hit the ground and bounced.

"Safety!!"

The mustachioed senior not only hit the ball, but also successfully ran to second base.

With two outs, there was a man on second base.

It was Yuki's turn to hit.

Saint-Dolf's supervisor and players have not come back to their senses until this moment.

For them, this blow was too heavy.

Yuuki, who was standing on the strike zone, obviously also discovered this.

He raised the bat in his hand, his eyes sharp.

"boom!"

The moment the baseball came flying towards him, he took action directly.

"boom!!"

The baseball flew in quickly, and Yuuki hit the bat out even faster.

It's like lightning.

The bat hit the baseball firmly.

Then people saw the white baseball flying directly into the sky.

"give it to me!!"

Jack, the black player from St. Daphne, ran like a cheetah toward the landing point of the baseball.

Although baseball is fast, Jack is confident in his speed.

He firmly believed that he could catch the baseball whenever it dropped.

But the ball kept flying, and kept flying.

Until he crossed the railing of the outfield bleachers and landed on the outfield bleachers.

"Snapped!"

"Fly, fly out!!"
