Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 298 The third one, Mr. Fangtani! (-in-)

"sense of security?"

The beautiful reporter’s eyes widened.

"Yes, it's a sense of security."

Fujio confirmed firmly.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to understand, but as a senior reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, Fujio understands the psychology of players very well.

It is precisely because of this that the baseball reports he wrote can be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Only then can readers put it down.

"As long as their team's ace is present, the players of the Seido High School baseball team don't have to worry about losing points. They only need to think about how to attack? And this is something that other players can't do no matter what. Arrived. Including Danba..."

After her senior explained it, Owada Akiko understood it instantly.

"nice shot!"

The pitching method of Seido High School's ace consumes too much physical energy and puts a huge burden on the players themselves.

"With such a high-drop curveball, if you don't get used to it, it will be difficult to hit it."

He knew in his heart that the opportunity left for them to deal with a certain batter alone would be fleeting.

Unexpectedly, when they actually met on the field, they were completely led by their opponents.

If you think about it carefully, from the perspective of the Qingdao partners, they might really feel this way.

The supervisor of their team also looked extremely ugly.

He thought well, but the baseball fell from the height so fast that his bat never touched the ball.

They really have that kind of strength.

"That kind of high-drop curveball, combined with his own height advantage, is a killer. And the opponent will definitely use a wheel battle, which means the pitcher doesn't have to worry about physical strength at all."

On the other hand, they also feel that the current scene reflects their strength to a great extent.

Just as the batter was thinking this, a high-pitched curveball roared in.

The third batter of the Fukuda High School baseball team had a frown on his face before he came on the field to bat.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are indeed very excited.

In this way, can their team's substitute pitchers perform well on the field?

Even the opponent's substitute pitcher has some extraordinary abilities.

After the first three rod tests, they now understand this.

In response to this, they also made corresponding preparations before the game.

"You must hit the ball!!"

"It's really like this!"

In Futian's rest area, a group of players looked at each other in confusion.

They can still crush their opponents on the field without giving them any chance to breathe.

If they can't get the ball out, the game will completely fall into the opponent's rhythm.

Fukuda's third hitter gritted his teeth and knocked the bat out.

But it’s no use recognizing it.

In this case, they are very likely to replace other pitchers. This is also one of the strategies commonly used by the Seido High School baseball team.

So what?

Even if they don't plan to let their team's ace go, they still have two other substitutes that can be replaced.

Even if their team's ace doesn't play, even if they rely on third-year pitchers to pitch.

Thinking of this, the third batter of the Fukuda High School baseball team tightened his grip on the bat.

Seido's relief pitcher won't stay on the mound for long at all.

To be honest, they had expected such a scene before today's game.

"Snapped!"

In this case, they must seize every opportunity to attack.

On one hand they were happy for Tamba.

Even their performance can enhance the players' confidence to a great extent.

While recognizing this, Futian's supervisor and players all felt the same as Ming Jing.

The consequences could be disastrous!

After all, is this a standard surprise for those players?
Comparing one's feelings with one's own, who can not be happy if they are happy?

They did not just rely on one person to get to where they are now.

I can't blame them for being so excited.

And according to Qingdao's past situation, when they want to let their ace rest, they always use wheel battles.

"This also means that if there is no way to hit that kind of ball in the first meeting, there is almost nothing we can do with this pitcher."

After realizing this, Futian's supervisor and players felt like they were playing drums.

They understand that there is not much time and opportunity left for them.

"Damn it! If you have the ability, just..."

Fukuda's third batter gritted his teeth and stared at Tanba.

Tanba on the pitcher's mound did not give in at all.

He opened his stance and took action directly.

"Whoosh!"

The batter standing in the strike zone swung the bat without hesitation when he saw the ball.

This is a straight shot!

He couldn't let it go no matter what.

"Ping!"

I have to admit that Fukuda's third batter is still very capable.

After seeing the straight ball, he took action decisively.

However, no matter how decisive he is, he only moves after seeing the ball.

This also means that his movements are slightly delayed.

But even so, he still hit the ball.

The white baseball that was hit flew into the sky.

The players in the rest area of ​​Futian High School were all excited.

The moment they saw the ball fly out, they felt huge expectations in their hearts.

Their hitter finally touched the ball.

Although they may not be able to score in the end, as long as they can score hits, as long as they can break through Qingdao's defense.

All this is worth it.

However, just when everyone was thinking this, they saw the baseball being blown away, flying forward for more than 20 meters, and then landed vertically.

So fast?
A group of people looked dumbfounded.

When they watched the ball fly out before, they thought it would definitely fly to the back of the court.

Even the rear area! !
Unexpectedly, a goal that was so impressive only flew more than 20 meters in the end?

"how come?"

The ball fell from this position, and it fell from a high place.

Of course, it is impossible to let go of the Qingdao players.

Kominato Ryosuke quickly ran forward and caught the ball steadily.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Three out, exchange offense and defense!!"

At the end of the first half of the inning, the players from the Futian High School baseball team came up with a three-up-three-down.

The fans in the stands were all excited.

Before coming to watch this game, they didn't have much confidence in their minds.

But after watching this game, the situation is completely different.

They were surprised to find that the level of these two teams was extremely high?

Especially Futian.

Although they are not as powerful as Qingdao, judging from their performance on the court, they are also very capable.

It is definitely a blessing for them to see these two teams competing today.

In the rest area of ​​Qingdao.

The partners are very satisfied with Danbo's performance on the pitcher's mound.

From their point of view, their former ace is playing tricks on the opponent. And Danba himself is much more reliable than he gave everyone before.

Director Kataoka nodded at Tanba.

The young man seemed to have come out of the previous haze and smiled at his supervisor.

"Very good! Our rhythm today is to play steadily and gain the advantage step by step."

After several previous games.

The friends at Qingdao High School have obviously grown up significantly.

At the same time, their team's supervisors and coaches are not idle either.

They encountered strong enemies from Koshien and competed against these national-level opponents. They learned one thing.

That's the game in Koshien. Don't be anxious no matter what.

Their initial thoughts and actions were undoubtedly wrong.

Because they felt that their opponent was not particularly strong at the time, they wanted to end the game early.

This way, their players can retain a lot of energy.

Theoretically, there is no problem with this choice.

But they overlooked one point before, which is also a very important point.

Although their opponents are strong or weak.

But without exception, these opponents were all recruited from across the country.

They went through brutal elimination and screening before finally reaching this point.

The strength they possess and the fighting spirit they possess cannot be matched by ordinary teams.

Especially in the later stages of the game.

The more eager they are to get results, the more likely they are to have accidents.

"You must keep calm!"

Director Kataoka and the other coaches at Seido quickly figured this out.

And after thinking about this, they also realized that if it was just a simple comparison of physical strength and endurance.

Except for the team's ace Jianggu, the rest of them are not weak at all.

These main players of their team have all gone through layers of selection and special training in hell.

They have strong confidence in their main players.

If compared to physical strength and endurance, they are not afraid of any opponent.

What else is there to say?

As long as they can freely use the strategy of rotating pitchers, the problem of pitching strength will be solved.

"Play steadily, step by step!!"

When Director Kataoka explained this tactic, his whole demeanor gave people a different feeling.

The friends of the Seido High School baseball team were unknowingly affected by each other.

They also started to become more stable.

The game came to the second half of the game, and Qingdao attacked.

The first person Aomichi stepped into the strike zone was Kuramochi, their team's top player, and this was also the position he hit most often.

The ace of Futian High School is a chubby figure.

From a purely physical perspective, he looks a bit like Kiyomizu Masuko.

When the friends saw this, they all looked at each other.

They originally thought that they were unlucky enough in the past.

St. Dov's ace, even their team's first substitute, had not appeared in previous games.

Saint-Dolf showed unprecedented dark horse strength.

In the minds of Qingdao friends, this is almost a ceiling-level performance.

They never expected that the ace of Futian High School would also be replaced?

"These little guys have spent several years of their youth on Koshien. They are really..."

Minister Ohta expressed his feelings.

Although his baseball knowledge cannot be compared with Kataoka and Rei Takashima.

But it is not something that ordinary people can compare with.

He knows a lot about baseball, especially high school baseball.

"This ace is a second-year player on their team. His name is Watanabe Mayu. He is a powerful pitcher. Although he has no appearance record in Koshien, he performed very well in the regional competition."

Chris's ability to organize information is outstanding.

From this point of view, this little fat guy Mayu Watanabe did not appear suddenly.

It is very possible that he was originally the ace of Futian High School.

It was just deliberately hidden.

"These guys!!"

After he said these words, the expression on Minister Ohta's face became even more speechless.

Is the opponent too cunning?
He actually put the real ace in the second grade as a substitute.

Unlike their Seido High School baseball team, everything is fair and aboveboard.

They let a first-year player serve as the team's ace. They didn't hide anything at all, but directly announced it to the world.

Just when Ohta was thinking this, the duel on the court had already begun.

"boom!!"

The ball thrown by Watanabe doesn't look like anything special.

The speed is not particularly fast, and the angle is not tricky.

Seeing this goal, Kuramochi's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Have it!"

Although the opponent's pitching level is not low, Kuramochi is no longer the little Karami he used to be.

He saw this ball very clearly.

When he swung the bat, he was also confident.

He seemed very confident that he would be able to hit the ball.

"Ping!"

Wait until the bat in his hand actually touches the baseball.

Kuramochi's face instantly turned white.

He felt the bat in his hand as if he had hit a shot put.

"Good weight!!"

The feeling on his hand made his tiger's mouth feel as if it was cracked.

Even if such a ball is hit, the result will not be much better.

The baseball flew forward, only ten meters.

He was directly intercepted by a player from Futian High School.

"Snapped!"

"Out!!"

A very simple out count.

Immediately after the second bat, Kominato Ryosuke came on the stage.

Although this prestigious second batman has first-class hitting skills.

But this kind of power competition is not suitable for him at all.

He could only watch the ball flying past his eyes.

When he came to his senses and wanted to fight out.

It's too late.

"Snapped!"

"Out!!"

With two outs and no one on base.

At this moment, the third batter of the Aomichi High School baseball team officially stepped into the batter's box.

"Third bat, No. 1, outfielder, Fukitani-san!!"

For today’s game, Director Kataoka specially made some fine-tuning.

The most obvious adjustment among them is to place the already powerful Jianggu in the third battalion?
