Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 304 The highlight performance of the little angel! (-in-)

Unconsciously, the game has reached the first half of the fourth inning.

Fukuda High School offense.

The score between the two sides is 1:0, with Qingdao only leading the opponent by one point.

In this case, the players from Futian High School were certainly not willing to give in.

If the score gap between the two sides is very large, their fighting spirit may not be high.

Now, there is only one point difference between the two sides.

Players from Futian High School dream of tying the lead.

When the game came to the fourth inning, the batter started coming in from their second at-bat.

This is an extremely rare offensive opportunity for Futian High School and even for any team.

Their players were gearing up one by one before going on to fight.

At the same time, Qingdao also encountered difficulties.

According to their team's original idea, in addition to not allowing Furuya to pitch in today's game. The other pitchers have their own tasks.

They prepared to use a wheel game from the beginning, with one pitcher pitching three innings.

This was originally decided.

But now, their former ace Danbo is performing outstandingly.

Danbo gives people the feeling that even if he continues to pitch a few more innings, there will be no problem at all.

Once they choose to substitute at this time, the pitcher they replace will be Sawamura, who made a mistake in the last game.

That is inevitable, and you have to take risks.

But not replacing them disrupted their previous arrangements.

Everyone in the rest area, before the fourth round was about to start, all focused on their own supervisor.

Director Kataoka looked around, feeling very complicated.

The thing that bothered him the most was that there was no backbone pitcher on the team.

This has also become a key reason why the Seido High School baseball team has failed to reach Koshien for several consecutive years.

But now, the Green Road Supervisor was surprised to find that there were so many good pitchers, and it was just as confusing.

Let’s not talk about their ace, Jiang Gu.

Even the three pitchers currently serving as substitutes have their own characteristics.

Former ace Danbo seems to have regained his original intention as a pitcher.

He pitches strong!
There is no exaggeration, it is simply seeking truth from facts.

At this time, Tanba's attitude is very exciting.

Supervisor Kataoka was inevitably entangled for a while.

But in the end, Director Kataoka stuck to his previous idea.

"Sawamura!"

Hearing this name, many friends subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps they didn't even realize it themselves, but they had unknowingly developed a little trust in their little disciple.

They believed that the young man named Sawamura would definitely live up to everyone as long as he got on the pitcher's mound.

"Don't feel any pressure, the seniors behind you are extremely reliable!!"

As the main catcher, Miyuki came to Sawamura's side immediately.

He smiled and stretched out his hand, patted Sawamura's shoulder and said.

"Don't smile so brightly that you make me suspect that you have bad intentions."

Sawamura looked disgusted.

The friends in the rest area all laughed out loud after hearing these words.

It seemed that their first-year student was not as nervous as they thought.

"Just looking at your pitching mentality, you might actually have a chance to compete for the ace position."

"Of course, only in the state of mind!!"

With an extremely relaxed attitude, the friends began to take the field and stand in their positions.

"The Aomichi High School baseball team changes players. Tanba leaves the game and Sawamura-san comes on."

Seeing this result, the supervisors and players of Futian High School were furious.

The Aomichi High School baseball team didn't replace their ace, which didn't surprise Fukuda High School's superintendents and players.

Judging from the situation, Qingdao undoubtedly has the advantage.

In this case, there is absolutely no reason for them to send their ace.

But even if you don't send an ace, at least let that third-year pitcher who performs well continue to pitch on the field, right?
What does it mean that you suddenly became a freshman?
Not to mention, this first-year rookie named Sawamura was knocked off the field while pitching in the last game.

"I'm furious!"

"Do you use us as a training tool?"

"Sooner or later they will regret it..."

"It won't be long before I let those guys from Qingdao know that Futian's uncle is not to be trifled with."

In the rest area of ​​Futian High School, the players all stared at Sawamura with unkind eyes.

People in the Qingdao rest area couldn't help but feel nervous when they saw this scene.

"Ozawamura, nothing will go wrong!"

The gloom of the last game must have left a shadow on Sawamura.

Who is it on the stage of Jiaziyuan?

As long as you are eliminated, there is no way back.

Therefore, they are not allowed to make mistakes.

"He will eventually have to overcome this hurdle by himself."

As Sawamura's master, Chris is of course very worried about his disciples.

But he also understands that at this time, the more he has to rely on the players themselves to tide over the difficulties.

Sawamura has already made one mistake.

So this time is the best test for him.

If Sawamura can cross the past, he will have completed the transformation of the carp across the dragon gate.

No matter what he goes through in the future, as long as Sawamura strives for his best, he will be Seido's rotation pitcher.

This is extremely important for a young player who is in the growing stage.

But if he couldn't cross it, he made two consecutive mistakes.

At least until the end of Koshien this time, Sawamura may not have much chance.

This is cruel!

But there is no way, the Koshien competition is too important for Qingdao!
Director Kataoka can give Sawamura a second chance, which is already a very special treatment.

There was no chance of a third chance for Sawamura.

"You must take good care of it..."

Chris looked at Sawamura on the court and silently blessed him in his heart.

Chris can think things through, but Sawamura obviously can't think that much.

He was able to get a chance to play, and he played in such a critical situation.

Ozawamura's heart has been greatly impacted.

He didn't want to think about the rest.

There is only one goal left for him.

"I can never let everyone down or let down the supervision!!"

Sawamura no longer thinks about himself.

When he stands on the pitcher's mound, he just wants to keep up with everyone and complete the tasks assigned to him by the supervisor and the team.

"Keep a calm mind and don't get too excited! Use pitching to vent all your inner emotions."

Raise your legs high, then step forward, push your gloves out like a wall, and wave your arms like a whip...

During the entire pitching process, Sawamura had completely forgotten himself.

Seeing this scene, Miyuki felt the veins on his forehead beating constantly.

"Is this guy crazy?"

He never thought that Sawamura would be so careless during the pitching process?
This guy is so self-centered.

In this way, once Sawamura is caught by his opponent in the rhythm of pitching.

The consequences are unimaginable!
Just when Mi Xingxin mentioned it, the second-best hitter at Futian High School in the batter's box was dumbfounded.

From his point of view, Sawamura didn't release the ball at all during the entire pitching process.

So when he saw the ball, the white baseball came to him in a flash of lightning.

So fast! Just a thought came to his mind, and the white baseball flashed past.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

The huge electronic scoreboard displayed the speed of the ball.

134 kilometers! !
The eyes of the players in the Futian High School dugout almost popped out of their heads.

"Why didn't you just call out?"

"That guy's pitching is obviously not strong at all."

They couldn't figure it out anyway, why didn't their team's second player take a shot at the ball just now?
The speed of this ball is obviously so slow, and the position of the ball is not good.

How could the hitter miss this pie-in-the-sky opportunity?

They don't understand.

"What do you know? Looking at it from the strike zone, the speed of the ball is at least 140 kilometers or more!"

In the strike zone, Futian High School's second-best hitter secretly gritted his teeth.

As smart as he is, he has already figured out the reason.

But it's one thing to figure out why, to actually get in the strike zone and deal with pitches like this that don't see a release point.

It's something else!

His heart was like fifteen buckets fetching water, and he was in a state of confusion.

And the entanglement and anxiety in his heart was destined to be shared by no one.

Then he saw Sawamura taking action again on the pitcher's mound.

"With soft arms, the speed of the baseball ball appears to be faster than the actual ball speed. In this way, you can only wait for the ball to enter your hand before taking action!"

Futian High School is the top club in the country, and the main players on their team all have two skills.

Taking this second shot as an example, he only watched Sawamura's shot, combined with the intelligence they had seen before.

He had already guessed, how did Sawamura throw this kind of ball with no visible release point?

Not only that, he also quickly thought of a solution.

Although can it be successful? He couldn't guarantee it.

But he felt that his method was definitely worth a try.

When Sawamura pitched the second pitch, Fukuda's batter immediately took action.

He picked the right moment and waited for the baseball to come into his hand before taking action.

"Ping!"

After the baseball was hit, it flew down the first base sideline.

"The outside world!"

A strike, a foul ball.

The batter was chased.

However, the second player Fukuda who was being chased was not discouraged at all.

The corners of his mouth were raised, revealing his slightly yellowed back molars.

"Hit!!"

For the second-best hitter at Fukuda High School, he was just unskilled.

Just let him touch the ball.

Then the next time the two sides face off, he will have the confidence to blast the ball into the field.

Thinking of this, the second-best hitter at Futian High School raised his bat higher.

"bring it on!"

He couldn't wait to see the baseball flying out.

Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, was very keenly aware of this.

He glanced up at his partner again.

Then Miyuki silently adjusted his angle of catching the ball.

"Whoosh!"

Sawamura showed no mercy, and the baseball in his hand flew out with a roar.

The batter who saw this ball was filled with joy.

"That's it!"

After one ball of testing, Fukuda's second batter has locked in Sawamura's true pitching speed.

Seeing this ball, he immediately took action.

The bat in his hand was swung, causing a sound of breaking through the air.

Seeing his hearty swing, the players and supporters of Futian High School had strong expectations in their eyes.

Finally, get the ball out?
However, in their expectant eyes, the white baseball suddenly dropped.

Bats and baseballs passed each other without touching each other.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

"strike out!!"

Seeing this scene, the players and supporters of Futian High School were all dumbfounded.

At the same time, big question marks appeared above their heads.

"why?"

In the strike zone, the second hitter from Futian High School also felt incredible.

"Change ball?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the baseball suddenly drop and bypass the bat.

This is a standard change ball.

But before that, when they were collecting and sorting out Qingdao information. But I had no idea that this first-year freshman named Sawamura could actually change the ball?
"Could it be that this brat also hides his own strength?"

The second-best hitter at Futian High School suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

Then he felt a cold sweat break out on his back...

How scary is that monster ace of the Seido High School baseball team?

Nothing more needs to be said at all.

Now, even another first-year kid on their team has shown such terrifying strength?

No wonder the opponent replaced Danbo so easily?

The players at Futian High School once believed that Qingdao was arrogant and digging his own grave.

Now it seems that they are the ones who are self-righteous.

Qing Dao has a lot of confidence.

"That guy might change the ball!"

When the second-best hitter at Futian High School shared the news with his teammates.

They kind of fell into a puddle.

All batters take the field and subconsciously guard against change balls.

Their obvious fear could not escape Yu Xing's eyes.

Miyuki discovered this and asked Sawamura to throw four-seam straight balls.

Then people saw that the white baseballs were being beaten away.

Although the ball was hit, Fukuda's third and fourth batters all made mistakes due to distraction and changing the ball.

So in the end, all the baseballs they hit were easily caught by Qingdao's partners in their own gloves.

"Snapped!"

"Out!!"

"Snapped!!"

"Out!!!"

"Three out, offense and defense exchange."

In the middle of the relay, we have to deal with the opponent's core two, three and four sticks.

Qingdao's partners and supporters were all sweating for the young man when Sawamura first came on the field.

Now, they can finally put their hearts back in their stomachs.

That little guy named Sawamura is so awesome.

“So handsome!!”
