Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 310: On the verge of collapse (two-in-one)

"How can we play this broken game?"

The supervisor of the Futian High School baseball team was almost crazy with jealousy.

He watched helplessly as the pitcher named Sawamura's pitching condition got better and better.

As Sawamura continues to deal with hitters, it is only a matter of time before his state awakens.

Now it looks like that time has arrived.

When the last batter of the Futian High School baseball team came on the field, he swung the bat in his hand with all his strength.

As a result, this time, his bat didn't even touch the ball hair.

"Snapped!"

The bat and the baseball passed by each other, and the baseball flew directly into Miyuki's glove.

"nice shot!"

"strike out!!"

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

The friends in the Qingdao rest area were all very excited.

"Did you see it? Your opponents were dumbfounded!"

"So handsome! You are a genius!!"

Everyone was full of praise.

Ozawa was a little flattered, but it could be seen that the little guy did not reject such praise.

"Is this genius really that good?"

He calls himself a genius! !
"Stop being such a bastard. As a pitcher for our team, isn't this what you should do?"

Kuramochi, the senior in dormitory No. 5, directly trapped the junior in his dormitory under his arm.

Even though his junior performed very well, he would never allow his junior to be carefree.

"You haven't scored a single hit so far?"

Sawamura is a tough talker.

Just because of his words, Kuramochi tightened his grip.

"Shut your mouth, no one will treat you as a mute."

Although it was noisy, the atmosphere in the team dugout was very good.

In the previous two games, the Qingdao High School baseball team successfully won.

But during the game, the friends inevitably suffered some blows.

At that time, the friends' judgment of their own strength was biased.

Although their ambitions are very strong.

But they are not sure whether their strength can help them get what they want?
Until playing a game with the Futian High School baseball team.

It is already the third round of Koshien. The team that can reach this point cannot be weak...

Not to mention, Futian High School is a well-known national powerhouse.

The guys on the Seido High School baseball team may not have a way to judge their own strength.

But they still have a very clear view of the strength of the Futian High School baseball team.

During the competition with the opponent, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team could clearly feel that if they wanted to crush the opponent, it would be easy...

It is precisely because of this that they have a basic judgment on their own strength.

It seems that their previous thoughts were not their own wishful thinking.

They really have such strength! !

Especially since their ace has yet to take the mound.

This makes the friends even more convinced that their own strength has reached a certain level!
In this way, the game came to the bottom of the fifth inning, and the Aomido High School baseball team attacked.

The ace of the Fukuda High School baseball team seems to have reached the end of his strength.

This pitcher named Watanabe is actually very powerful...

His previous performance was even more remarkable.

However, until now, the situation of their own team is not optimistic.

The young man still inevitably showed signs of fatigue.

"This guy can't hold on anymore, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue him!"

Seeing the other party's state, Sawamura's eyes shone brightly.

He seems to have seen the opportunity to completely defeat his opponent.

"Who's on now?"

"Isn't it just you? Idiot!"

The friends were not very angry when they saw Sawamura's silly look.

They seem to be used to it.

When Sawamura heard his name being called, he stood upright on the strike zone.

"Just keep your eyes open and take a good look at this genius' performance!"

Sawamura raised the bat in his hand.

Seeing his posture of preparing to strike, the friends laughed bitterly.

Sawamura now has some striking strength, but if he wants to strike accurately, he must aim in advance.

Like he is now, raising the bat high from the beginning...

Based on the past experiences of his friends, Sawamura is bound to be embarrassed next.

"I bet you this guy can't touch the ball."

In the rest area, some friends couldn't help but started to complain.

"The other person is also a junior in your dormitory after all. Can you have some confidence in your junior?"

After hearing Kuramochi's complaints, the friends immediately started to respond.

"You can definitely take him into custody..."

Kuramochi suggested.

However, his proposal was not recognized by everyone.

"That's not okay, he is not a junior in our dormitory."

Just as everyone was muttering, Fang Gu, who was sitting on the rest chair, suddenly opened his eyes.

Although the friends around him are not very optimistic about Sawamura's performance.

Falling Valley is different.

He had a vague feeling that Sawamura still had a little hope.

"Just use your own performance to prove yourself."

Sawamura, who was in the strike zone, saw the baseball coming and immediately took action decisively.

"Buzz!"

The speed of his swing is still very fast.

Kuramochi watched eagerly and muttered in a low voice: "It's untouchable..."

However, before he could finish his words, the bat had already hit the baseball firmly.

"Ping!"

Hearing this voice, the friends widened their eyes unconsciously.

Qingdao's friends couldn't believe it themselves. Sawamura actually touched the ball?

Then everyone saw that the baseball that was touched flew high into the air.

"Hit!"

Sawamura, who was in the strike zone, was extremely excited.

He threw the bat in his hand and ran forward.

However, as soon as he took a few steps forward, the baseball fell vertically.

Watanabe, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, effortlessly caught the ball in his glove.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

Seeing this result, Sawamura was very unwilling.

The ball just now was so heavy that both of his palms were red.

Unexpectedly, the baseball didn’t fly very far?
"Damn it!"

The young man was extremely unwilling.

One out and no one on base.

The one who hit the field at this time became the first batsman of the Seido High School baseball team.

"First bat, shortstop, Kuramochi Yoichi-san!"

Kuramochi, who was complaining about his junior classmate just now, is now standing in the strike zone.

This is already the third time Kuramochi has stood in the strike zone. The young man is under great psychological pressure.

Even though Sawamura was in the strike zone, he didn't do much.

The pressure of holding positions has not diminished at all.

Now it is his third round on the batting box. As the first batsman of the Seido High School baseball team, he should have performed well long ago.

But like Sawamura said.

Until now, he has been taking Watanabe's pitches and there is nothing he can do.

This invisibly caused Qingdao to lose face.

When Kuramochi thought of this, he immediately raised the bat in his hand high.

As the starter of the Qingdao High School baseball team, he would never allow himself to continue to embarrass the team.

"Now that you have invested, no matter how talented you are, you should be tired, right?"

Kuramochi's eyes were firmly fixed on Watanabe.

When Watanabe pitched the ball, Kuramochi started to exert force from his waist and swung his bat with all his strength.

"Fly out!"

Maybe he is too persistent, or maybe he is too obsessed. In short, the white baseball seemed to be pulled by something.

"Ping!"

The bat hit the baseball accurately.

The huge repulsive force spread along Kuramochi's tiger's mouth to his palms, and then to his arms and body.

Good weight!

Kuramochi felt as if he had been hit by a stone.

His hand could barely hold the bat.

However, the young man gritted his teeth and persisted.

"No matter what, fly out for me!!"

He gritted his back teeth and pushed the ball out.

"Ping!"

Seeing the baseball fly out, the players from Futian High School quickly followed.

But they never expected that the baseball could be pushed so far?
When they realized this and retreated, they were inevitably half a beat too late.

If it were a normal duel, such a slight mistake might not have serious consequences.

The shortstop of the Fukuda High School baseball team thought so from the beginning.

He retreated very quickly and picked up the ball after it bounced off the ground.

"Leave it to me, I won't let those guys continue to be so arrogant..."

As he spoke, the baseball in his hand was immediately passed out.

However, the moment he passed the ball, he saw an incredible figure.

"Why is he there?"

The shortstop of Futian High School was stunned.

He stared at the figure in disbelief, a series of question marks and exclamation marks appearing above his head.

Others also noticed it.

"That guy was so fast, he flew out in the blink of an eye!"

Kuramochi, wearing the Aido team uniform, was as fast as a cheetah.

He sprinted to first base with incredible speed. At this time, less than half of the baseballs were passed.

"Snapped!"

"Safety!!"

One out and one on first base.

Players from the Aomichi High School baseball team began to take the field.

Watanabe, who had always performed very well, was on the verge of collapse after persisting until this point.

In the stands, many die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team had knowing smiles on their faces.

"Let me just say that guy, he can't hold on anymore, right?"

From Qingdao's point of view, they had been looking forward to this scene for a long time.

Now, this scene is coming as expected.

They were extremely excited.

"Our Seido High School baseball team will not be tripped up by someone casually."

Even after going crazy, Watanabe's strength is still remarkable.

But in the eyes of die-hard supporters like Qingdao, they obviously don't see enough.

It is only a matter of time before we defeat them.

"Let us wait and see, when will this time point appear?"

"It has already appeared, hasn't it?"

A die-hard supporter of the Qingdao High School baseball team, he has a calm sense of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

They seemed to have seen the scene where their opponent collapsed.

In the dugout of the Futian High School baseball team, their team supervisor scratched his scalp in pain.

As the team supervisor, he was supposed to stabilize the morale of the military.

But at this time, the game ended like this.

If the players don't work hard, that's it. As a team supervisor, he can rebuke loudly and help the players correct themselves.

In fact, all the players on their team performed well.

Especially their team's ace, not only showed his previous level, but even performed beyond his level in the game.

However, even under such circumstances, the game still showed the current result.

"The gap in strength between the two sides is so obvious?"

In the stands, some reporters have already noticed the problem.

Although the score between the two sides is now 3:0, the score difference is not particularly large.

Aomichi's three runs, two of which were Furitani's home runs.

Excluding this factor, the gap between them is even smaller...

But this is only a difference in scores.

It does not represent the true level of the two teams.

The ace of the Futian High School baseball team is about to collapse, and there is no one in the dugout who can replace Watanabe.

Under such circumstances, Futian High School could not survive for long.

And if nothing else happens, they will definitely lose miserably in this game...

Also a nationally powerful team, the Seido High School baseball team was not doing well before, failing to reach Koshien for several consecutive years.

Now, there is such a gap between their two teams?

"Taken together, the performance of the Futian High School baseball team is not that bad, and can even be considered excellent. The main reason is that their opponents are too strong!!"

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

From his perspective, the current Qingdao High School baseball team is simply perfect beyond imagination.

The game is still going on, and Kuramochi, who has already reached first base, cannot of course stay there quietly.

He's always looking for opportunities to steal bases.

At this time, the batter became the second bat of the Seido High School baseball team.

Ryosuke Kominato.

In the dugout of the Qingdao High School baseball team, there was no news of substitutions.

This made the fans in the stands very dissatisfied.

Especially some fans who were originally neutral, they just became Qingdao fans not long ago.

At this time, their opinions are also the largest.

"What's going on with Qingdao's supervision? Even the second-best hitter, no matter how powerful his hitting skills are, is a solid fact that he lacks strength. At this time, shouldn't he be replaced?"

"That's it if it's a grassroots team. There's no one available in the dugout. You are the top giants in the country, and you are the king of Qingdao!"

"Can you be braver?"

From the standpoint of the fans, their statement is not strictly wrong.

They are indeed qualified to raise such questions.

But Director Kataoka, including his friends in the Qingdao rest area, were very calm.

They still believe in the hitter on the field, even if he is less than 160 centimeters tall.
