Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 317 The devil in the eyes of other teams, Jiang Guxiao! (-in-)

"I really didn't expect that I would meet Qingdao so soon?"

In the spacious hotel lobby, a middle-aged man with a wine nose muttered with emotion.

As far as this competition is concerned, no team will not pay attention to Qingdao.

As the top giants in Return of the King, there is no doubt about their strength. Coupled with the fact that they have not appeared for so many years, their team must be holding back their energy from top to bottom.

The Nippon High School baseball team, as the dominant team in Koshien last year, is one of the most famous teams in the country.

They somewhat understand the mentality and state of Qingdao's entire team.

Because of this, they actually know very well that this opponent is not easy to mess with...

Not to mention, the monster that suddenly emerged is in the first grade.

As you can imagine, the risks are high when playing against such a team.

"Sooner or later there will be such a moment, so don't worry about it, supervisor. As long as I'm here, no one can steal victory from us."

One of Xibang's main players said majesticly.

He wasn't kidding.

Everyone could tell from the serious expression on his face that he thought so from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't underestimate the enemy too much. Our opponents are still very strong. Even if you are the main force of the National Youth Team, you must keep a clear mind. The level of Koshien is not lower than the games you play."

The supervisor of the Sibang High School baseball team scolded with a smile.

Although he was scolding, his tone was not harsh.

Obviously, in this supervisor's mind, he doesn't see anything wrong with his own players having such thoughts.

A national hegemon must act like a national hegemon...

Although the Seido High School baseball team is also the top club in the country, its reputation is not much worse than theirs.

But before that, the Seido High School baseball team had not been able to reach Koshien for several years in a row?
To them, the current Qingdao High School baseball team is just a dark horse with a huge reputation.

"Supervisor, you don't have to be so serious. He's just a first-year kid who suddenly appeared and has been playing smoothly until now. High school baseball is not as simple as he thought."

When the Nippon High School baseball team was discussing Qingdao, there was one person whose name could not be avoided no matter what.

This person is Akatsuki Furuya, the first-year super monster ace of the Seido High School baseball team.

before this……

Players on the Sibang High School baseball team have seriously discussed the characteristics of Falling Valley.

To say that there is really no fluctuation in their hearts would be a lie.

After all, Fang Guxiao's ball speed exceeded 160 kilometers.

Even in the professional arena, a ball with this speed can be used as a killer ball.

Not to mention, on this high school field.

With a ball of this speed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that if a god blocks it, it will kill a god, or if a Buddha blocks it, it will destroy the Buddha.

The Nippon High School baseball team has a wide range of connections, which is one of the reasons why they have been able to compete in Koshien for a long time.

Like the Seido High School baseball team, they found a temporary training location and received a professional pitching machine.

They had simulated it on the spot. How terrifying would a 160-kilometer ball be?
It is for this reason that the Xibang High School baseball team has a clearer understanding of Fang Guxiao.

They clearly know how strong this player is?

They clearly understand how difficult it is to hit that kind of ball?

After returning to the hotel, the morale of the players was not high, and this was also the reason.

Although it is said that as long as they do not lose points, they will not lose the game.

But if there is no way to score points, they also have no way to win...

Do they really have a chance to score points against that monster?
Although the players on the Sibang High School baseball team didn't talk about it that much.

But privately, they have thought about it many times in their minds.

And the results are pessimistic.

Until this voice appeared, the eyes of everyone on the Xibang High School baseball team unconsciously focused on him.

He was a super burly young man with a face full of strength and confidence.

Even when faced with a monster that can throw a 160-kilometer super fast ball, he is not afraid.

If it had been anyone else, the players on the Sibang High School baseball team might have thought that the other party was boasting.

Even if they were the dominant players last year.

It is also very difficult for their hitters to hit that kind of ball.

However, the person who said this is the fourth player of their team and the fourth player of the National Youth Team.

As far as their peers are concerned, the opponent is the strongest hitter.

This person's name is Sano.

During the previous practice of playing a 160-kilometer ball, even though other partners on their team had suffered.

But Sano successfully hit the ball to the outfield.

At this time, he said something like this.

The morale of the friends inevitably skyrocketed.

"As expected of you, Sano-senpai!"

"As long as our seniors are here, no matter who is standing on the mound or where he comes from, we will never lose."

The morale of the players is very high.

The supervisor with a wine trough nose unconsciously showed a smile on his face.

He was extremely satisfied with his disciples.

After his hard training, these disciples under him have become outstanding players in their own right.

Even when facing powerful enemies, they are not afraid or timid...

But just because they were like this, the supervisor of the Xibon High School baseball team, who was a loser, was very keenly aware of it.

These players in their family are still not confident in their hearts.

They shouted so loudly!
It feels like they can't do it otherwise.

What is the reason that caused them to behave like this?
The obvious answer is the pressure placed on them by their opponents.

The first-year ace of the Qingdao High School baseball team, even though the two sides haven't really played against each other yet, the players of the Nippon High School baseball team only had a sideways understanding of each other's strength.

Great fear arose in their hearts!
You know, they are not ordinary cats and dogs.

They were last year's champions and the dominant team in Koshien last year.

Among the current main players of their team, several are champion members, as well as members of the National Youth Team.

However, even so, the players on their team still felt fearful.

"I can't believe that this guy is just a freshman. Mr. Kataoka of Qingdao really found a treasure."

As the supervisor of a wealthy team, Jiugong Nose Supervisor is very clear about the significance of Xiao Guxiao to a team.

Mr. Kataoka of Aomichi High School's baseball team would probably laugh out loud when he dreams back at midnight.

"No wonder, some people call him the Demon King!"

Previously, the wine trough supervisor only heard about it. He also felt that giving a first-year high school student the nickname "Devil King".

It's just a joke.

It is not an exaggeration to even say that he is praised.

Generally, only those in the third grade, or at least the second grade, can bear this ultimate nickname.

The first-grade brat probably hasn't fully adapted to the rhythm of high school baseball yet, so he got a nickname like this.

Simply asking for trouble!
But after seeing the video of Fang Gu's game, the supervisor's thoughts have changed drastically.

A terrifying ball speed of 160 kilometers, coupled with extremely stable output.

If we talk about Jiang Guxiao, there is no way he can deserve this title.

Others are even less likely.

This is genius!
This is even a super genius that comes only once in ten or even decades.

As for Jianggu's talent, the director of the wine tank recognized it.

He also had expectations in his heart about how crazy the entire Qingdao High School baseball team was.

But this does not mean that they will admit defeat in the next battle.

High school baseball is not that easy.

It doesn't mean that if a team's ace is strong, they will definitely win the game.

"Very good, you are worthy of being a contestant of Xibon!"

The wine trough nose supervisor first smiled and praised everyone's fighting spirit.

Then he spoke again: "But the game is not that simple, we still have to take it seriously. Especially when dealing with the opponent's ace, we must bear in mind that there are not many opportunities to score from him. There are only about three times in total... …”

When the players of the Sibang High School baseball team heard what their supervisor said, they felt uncomfortable.

Is it possible that they don’t even have confidence in the supervision of their team!
So how can we continue this game?
But after listening to their supervisor's words, the players' faces unconsciously showed smiles.

As expected of the supervisor of their family, he is indeed a ruthless person.

It looked very scary, with almost no weaknesses.

In his eyes, it was still full of loopholes.

Everyone stretched their necks and narrowed their eyes.

"I have watched more than a dozen videos of the opponent's games, and I have to admit that the young man has improved very quickly. However, even so, this monster boy is not impeccable. First of all, the first point, which is also our first chance to score, is in the first The first attack of the round! Fanggu just came on, and it seemed like he could enter the state easily. In fact, this is not the case.”

When the wine trough nose supervisor said this, he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

As the superintendent of the Seabon High School baseball team, as a championship coach.

His insight is unmatched by ordinary people.

It was precisely because of his powerful insight that he was able to discover Jiang Gu's weaknesses.

Weaknesses that others cannot detect anyway.

I saw him slapping it hard with his hand, and the falling valley on the screen was a series of tremors.

"With his ball speed, he can indeed get into the zone quickly. But his initial ball control is all concentrated in the center of the strike zone. Maybe he didn't even notice it himself. This should be a habit of his."

From Fang Gu's point of view, his terrifying pitching just appeared.

That would naturally kill everyone in one instant.

At the beginning, he didn't have to worry too much about controlling the ball.

In Qingdao's previous games, this was how Fang Gu killed everyone.

But in the eyes of the supervisor, this is an out-and-out weakness.

And this weakness is very big!

His eyes were as wide as copper bells and filled with light.

"As long as we can seize this opportunity, we will be able to take the lead at the beginning of the game. Before, the Seido High School baseball team could firmly control the rhythm of the game as long as they sent their team's ace on the field. This kind of life has been too long Players will inevitably become dependent, and if their ace loses points from the beginning, the consequences..."

The wine trough supervisor smiled and shook his head.

The players on the Seabon High School baseball team understood immediately.

I have to admit, ginger is still spicy.

After their supervision and analysis, it was really possible for them to score at the beginning of the game.

An average team was replaced, and average hitters were replaced.

Of course there is no way to do this.

But their team is different. The core of their team's strong bats can almost hit fastballs of more than 150 kilometers.

Even a ball that is 155 kilometers away is not something they cannot touch.

With only a 160-kilometer ball, there was nothing they could do.

But in Jianggu, not every ball can soar to 160 kilometers.

In this way, their chances of scoring will naturally be greater.

"As for the second chance to score, it will probably appear in the sixth or seventh inning, when our players step into the batter's box for the third time. Once Akatsuki Furi's pitches exceed 70 pitches, the level will be improved. "

This is also not an opportunity for players from other teams.

Because even if the power and speed of Furiya's pitches were reduced, they would still be unable to hit them.

But the players on the Seabon High School baseball team are different.

As long as there is a problem with Jianggu's state, even just a little bit.

They will have the opportunity to seize it and score.

"The last chance to score is in the ninth inning. The players on the Qingdao High School baseball team are all inexperienced. They don't know the tension of the ninth inning. As long as the game drags on to the ninth inning, we will win. The chances will be greatly improved.”

The words of Supervisor Liquor Nose were like a shot in the arm for the players of the Xibang High School team.

After witnessing the terrifying ball speed of 160 kilometers, their originally low morale was suddenly boosted.

Players from the two teams are preparing individually.

For the two teams, the next game is almost equivalent to the final battle in Koshien.

I don’t know what the organizers are thinking?

They actually tolerated it, so that the two teams collided in advance.

The next day, the weather was sunny and cloudless...

The arena in Koshien was densely packed with fans.

Not only the players of the two teams are aware of it, but apparently even the fans are aware that this may be an early decisive battle.

As soon as they think of this, they can't wait to see the scene of the duel between the two sides.

The tickets sold very well today.

Even the family members of the Qingdao players can only buy the outermost seats against the wall.

"Koshien's 4th round, Game 1, the Seido High School baseball team's game against the Nishiho High School baseball team has officially begun!"
