Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 301 The level of Koshien! (-in-)

Qingdao's supporters were very excited.

From their perspective, they obviously believed that it would be easy for Qingdao to win this game.

Fenggu, who was ranked third, blasted the ball out of the court!
Comparing oneself with others, the ace of Futian High School is still scared to death?
Even if he has 100% strength, at times like this, it would be good to be able to perform at 80% or 90%.

And his 80 or 90% performance might not be enough to face Yuki.

It's not that they look down on their opponents, it's mainly that they have too much confidence in the man in the strike zone.

"The captain is here!"

"Wouldn't your opponent be beaten to a pulp this time?"

"That man's strength is even greater than Jianggu..."

Not only the fans in the stands, but also the people in the Qingdao rest area were extremely excited.

Just thinking about this scene makes them feel pitiful...

They know that Qingdao is not easy to mess with.

Everyone else in the Qingdao rest area also nodded in unison.

"In the Koshien arena, you will meet real monsters!"

But they never imagined that things would become so difficult?

"Oh, the supervision strategy is so successful!"

At the same time, the supervisors and players of Futian High School were nervously standing at the front of the rest area.

The strength displayed by their opponents completely exceeded their imagination.

Not to mention his teammates on the team, even Minister Ohta couldn't understand.

Minister Ota grinned widely, almost showing his back molars.

But the supervisors and players of Futian High School still wanted to ask at this moment.

Everyone also reserved their opinions.

What he is best at is strength!
Although the speed of his pitching is not the best.

Unfortunately, Supervisor Kataoka's authority in the team is unmatched by anyone.

He witnessed such a monster with his own eyes. When he was in excellent pitching condition, his pitching was knocked out of the stadium by his strength.

Although everyone doesn’t understand, how did Furitani-san do this?
On the pitch, results mean everything.

But his throwing power has always been nicknamed by his teammates as a shot putter!

He blasted the ball away and he gave the whole team a boost.

Now it seems that their supervisor is far-sighted.

Not to mention, sending his ball flying off the court?
Now, at this very moment.

My friends, some people have expressed their feelings.

"That monster first grader, and this guy on the strike zone, are they really high school students?"

It was a terrifying throw comparable to a shot put.

Now they just need to follow their own supervision and appreciate each other's embarrassment.

Standing on the pitcher's mound, Watanabe felt his arms shaking slightly.

It's not as if his pitches haven't been hit before.

With such a mature lineup, what reason is there to make changes?
This is a Koshien level competition.

"The pitcher at Futian High School is really unlucky..."

Before today's game, Director Kataoka proposed to change the players' positions.

He had just been hit by a home run, and now he was about to face off against Yuki again.

But no one has ever been able to score a home run from him!

When the players hit the field, they all know their positions and responsibilities very well. And so far, they have done very well in their respective positions.

Before this game, they had already had a premonition that they would encounter difficulties in their confrontation with Qingdao.

Plus, Falling Valley itself has always been outstanding.

The sense of oppression displayed by the opponent has completely exceeded the limit of their imagination.

No one dared to object to the suggestions he made.

Their previous lineup has become very mature.

Even if their opponents in the third round are not very strong. Such an approach still requires taking risks.

Obviously from their standpoint, they also felt that the pitcher from Futian High School was somewhat pitiful.

This question is very layman-like and has been asked by many people before.

This is a huge surprise for their team.

Before Watanabe came, his grandfather warned him solemnly.

His grandfather had participated in Koshien competitions in his early years.

Although his results are average, he has also seen the world in Koshien.

However, even so, Watanabe Mayu never took his grandfather's words to heart.

He always believed in the power of his pitching.

Unexpectedly, he actually saw the monster his grandfather talked about on the field of Koshien.

Watanabe looked up and looked at Yuuki who was taking a deep breath on the strike zone and preparing to hit him out.

"I'm afraid there's more than one!"

Watanabe's intuition told him that the man in front of him was no less terrifying than the monster named Fang Gu.

Watanabe could sense the worry in his partner and those in their dugout.

Watanabe could also feel that his body was so tense that every cell was trembling.

"This is the stage of Koshien, this is the excitement of Koshien."

After giving up a home run, Watanabe grinned.

This young man actually showed a scary smile.

"Hey, the competition is really fun!"

Seeing the almost crazy performance of their ace, the supervisors and players of Futian High School all showed surprise in their eyes.

Although the current situation of the game is very unfavorable to them.

But they feel that their ace is in surprisingly good condition.

As long as they thought of this, they suddenly felt that their whole bodies were full of strength.

"Well done!"

"I know you are not a coward, challenge me boldly."

Under the unfavorable situation, the supervisors and players of Futian High School did not back down or give in.

Especially the ace of their team, who seemed to have used all his strength the moment he threw the ball.

"boom!"

The white baseball, spinning extremely fast, instantly reached the top of home plate.

Yuuki, who was standing on the strike zone, did not choose to take action immediately. He stood aside and watched the baseball pass in front of his eyes.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

The main catcher of Futian High School didn't look happy at all after catching the ball.

He looked up at Yuki and frowned unconsciously.

"The way this guy waits to hit the ball is so annoying!!"

With Yuki's position, it seemed like he could take action at any time.

On that ball just now, Yuki clearly did nothing, and even Fukuda's main catcher felt like he was going to hit the ball.

"This guy is watching your shot. You can't use the same ball a second time."

Futian's main catcher undoubtedly has two brushes.

He quickly thought of what method he should use to deal with Qingdao's fourth stick.

The boy on the pitcher's mound didn't waste any time and followed his partner's advice.

Before the real showdown between the two sides, the players from Futian High School, especially their ace Watanabe, might still have a little bit of arrogance in their hearts.

Even if their opponents are the top clubs in the country, they don't think they are inferior.

But it's different now.

In the previous duel, they had already learned a lesson, and it was a big lesson.

After being taught a lesson, they naturally learned well.

They knew very clearly that their opponents were far stronger than them.

This means that they have to go all out every moment.

Only in this case can they have a chance to reverse the situation.

Then the second ball, the third ball. There is a big difference in the position and type of pitching.

Yuki took the shot and hit an outfield fly ball.

"Ping!"

The moment they saw the baseball fly out, the die-hard Seido supporters in the stands were ready to cheer.

Unexpectedly, when the baseball fell, the outfielder from Futian High School was waiting directly underneath the baseball.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

At the end of the first game, the score between the two sides was 1:0.

The Seido High School baseball team leads its opponents by one point.

In this way, the game came to the first half of the second game, and Futian High School attacked.

Their hitters are the core fourth, fifth, and sixth bats of their team.

The friends of Qingdao, when they went on the field to defend, every one of them showed great readiness.

The friends know very well that their opponents will never be willing to fall behind.

The opponent will definitely try every means to score points.

This is true.

The fourth bat of Fukuda High School put his body on the strike zone from the beginning.

And made a gesture of bunt.

The fans in the stands were in an uproar when they saw this scene.

"Are Fukuda's players crazy? Now that no one is on base, what bunt are they using?"

"Isn't this clear and clear?"

It's hard for most fans to understand.

The senior reporter from Baseball Kingdom Magazine couldn't help but praise it.

"clever!!"

Hearing Fujio's words, Owada Akiko looked over immediately with big eyes.

"This player from Fukuda doesn't really use bunts. He just uses this method to block Tamba's high-drop curveball! The range of the change ball is very large. If he insists on throwing it, it is very likely that Hit the attacker."

"what?"

Owada Akiko covered her mouth in surprise.

Naturally, the speed of Danbo's pitching cannot be compared with that of their team's ace.

But that is also in the 135-kilometer or even 140-kilometer range.

Aren’t you afraid of Futian High School’s four-legged team?

"He's obviously not afraid! Even if it's a hit, he's going to get on base."

On the court, Danbo had no choice but to throw a straight ball.

But he didn't admit defeat, he forced the straight ball into the inside corner.

He wanted to use this method to force the attacker away.

However, the fourth bat of Futian High School showed no concern for the ball that almost hit his body.

He was stunned and didn't move a step.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

The ball was less than five centimeters from the batter's body.

Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, subconsciously took a deep breath.

"Is this the level of Koshien?"

The gap between this and the opponents they had encountered before was simply too great.

Although there are times when those opponents are not afraid.

But that usually comes at the decisive stage of the game.

Like now, the two sides are still in a tug of war, and Qingdao is only one point ahead of its opponent.

According to normal logic, the opponent shouldn't act so crazy?

But their opponents showed such a posture.

Not to mention the entire game, even if it is just one goal, the opponent is not willing to let it go.

They put on a fight-to-die attitude!

They showed that they were unwilling to admit defeat no matter what.

“Keep hitting the straight ball!!”

The two sides are already deadlocked here, and whoever shows cowardice first will be at a disadvantage in the subsequent duel.

Of course Qingdao couldn't admit this kind of thing.

Danbo obeyed the order and stuffed another inside-angle straight ball.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Tanba's tough performance, Qingdao's own friends couldn't help scratching their scalps.

They didn't expect that their former ace would be so competitive?

In the strike zone, the fourth batman of Futian High School saw this scene, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Took the bait!"

He took half a step back and gave up his position in the inner corner.

At the same time, his bat went out.

"Ping!"

The bat hit the baseball just right. Although his posture was a little awkward, he managed to hit the ball.

The fourth player of Futian High School had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Success!!"

His day and night research was not in vain.

He had long known that Qingdao's pitchers all had a common problem.

This may be a common problem among all wealthy pitchers.

In a head-on confrontation, they would not give in.

That's why he designed this scene.

Now it seems that he has succeeded.

It's just Futian's fourth shot, and he hasn't had time to grin out loud.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure that looked like a cheetah, flying towards him.

The ball he just hit flew forward for more than 20 meters and was caught by someone's glove.

"Snapped!"

"Out!!"

Fukuda's fourth shot was actually caught?
Everyone in the rest area of ​​Futian High School was stunned.

"Isn't this reaction speed too fast?"

"Not only are the pitchers difficult, their entire team's fielding strength is among the best in the country."

The fans in the stands were amazed.

The boy who caught the ball raised his lips.

"I was with our ace before, but because I couldn't catch the ball, my movements were rusty."

To others, the defensive movements were as fast as a cheetah's.

The young man was not satisfied.

In his mind, he should be faster.

"No more Versailles, the opponent's fifth baton came on."

Different from Qingdao and most teams.

The strongest hitter at Futian High School is actually not the fourth or third hitter on their team.

But the fifth baton of their team.

"The fifth bat, pitcher, No. 1, Mayu Watanabe."

As the team's ace, Watanabe doesn't just know how to pitch.

The power of his strikes, including his striking results, are unmatched.
