Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 326 Goodbye 163 kilometers of light speed ball! (-in-)

Koshien, quarterfinals.

The Seido High School baseball team played against the Nishibon High School baseball team and the match was in full swing.

The game went into the first half of the sixth inning, and the score between the two sides was still 0:0.

Fujio, a senior reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine who was sitting in the press box and watching the game, suddenly spoke.

"It's about to begin!"

These sudden words startled the beautiful partner next to him.

"Senior, what's going to start?"

At the same time, in the dugout of the Xibang High School baseball team.

There was a sparkle in the small eyes of the wine trough nose supervisor.

"The opponent's pitch count is already approaching 70. Even an average pitcher will have a period of physical decline by this time. With Furitani-san's pitching style, his decline may be even earlier. Be prepared. …”

Upon hearing the orders from their supervisors, the players on the Sibang High School baseball team felt as if they had taken the little blue pill.

"Hit when you see it right!"

"This time, we must respond with all our strength."

……

Although Fanggu's performance was very strong, they still managed to score two hits with their excellent strength.

This also means that as far as the offense in the sixth inning is concerned, it will be their turn to hit the first and second bats.

Before that, the Xibang High School baseball team had already placed their core strong bats in the top three positions.

to be honest……

This is the core player of their team, competing against Fang Gu for the third time.

That's why.

Only the loser-nosed supervisor of the Sibang High School baseball team thought that their chance to score an offense had arrived again.

The players on the Xibang High School baseball team obviously want to believe this.

They attach great importance to this scoring opportunity.

Even if the ninth stick was solved, they didn't care.

"strike out!!"

One out and no one on base.

It was the first bat of the Seibang High School baseball team to hit.

This hitter has now stepped into the strike zone for the third time.

No matter how amazing Fanggu's pitching is...

He has already seen it twice and is fully mentally prepared.

Now he is standing on the strike zone, slightly lowering his body's center of gravity, and the grip of the bat in his hand is also very particular...

Mi Xing glanced at the other party and already had a pretty good guess in his mind.

"Should we start?"

In the previous few games, the players of the Nippon High School baseball team had been trying their best to consume Fang Gu's pitches.

Facts have proved that their title of national hegemon is not for nothing.

By hitting the ball out of bounds and letting the bad ball pass, they really struggled with ten or twenty more balls.

In a six-game game, the number of balls in each game is certainly not that many.

But combining these games together, Furigu's total pitches still exceeded 65.

Now it’s almost seventy goals!
This is a physical watershed for any high school player.

Even Jianggu is no exception.

Not to mention, for today's game, Fangtani's pitching was so fierce.

His energy loss was definitely much faster than usual.

Heart to heart.

If he were the opponent's supervisor, he would never miss this opportunity to score.

"What should we do?"

Miyuki Kazuya had already conceived several plans in his mind.

But he did not act arbitrarily.

Through this period of partnership, he already understood.

Although their current first-year ace is still very young, it does not mean that their ace does not have his own ideas.

Furutani is a pitcher with a mind of his own.

And he knows himself better than anyone else.

In this case, he would have to pay attention to Jianggu's own wishes.

The drop valley on the pitcher's mound is even more noticeable.

Although he couldn't see as many details of his opponent as Miyuki could.

But his intuition is extremely sharp.

The players on the Xibang High School baseball team had just changed, and he noticed it.

The opponent seems to have any plans?
Jianggu's eyes were emotionless.

Like a god of death, he stared coldly at the hitter in the strike zone.

The batter looked at Fang Gu and did not avoid it.

The batter's fighting spirit was very strong, and his determination to knock Furutani's pitch away was also extremely strong.

"Have you finally made up your mind to face off?"

Facing this blatant provocation from his opponent, Jiangu's attitude could only be expressed in one word.

"Dry!"

After getting his feedback, Miyukiichi also felt excited.

Although Miyuki knew in his heart that this was not their best choice.

At this time, their most ideal choice should be to take advantage of the opponent's mentality of actively preparing for war and try to trick the opponent severely.

This is the best way.

But what young man is not passionate?
Just like today's scene, which young man doesn't want to deal with his opponent cleanly?

That's what Fang Gu thought.

Many of their teammates on the court, including in the dugout, thought the same way.

Even Miyuki himself had the same idea in his heart.

In the last game, the team chose to rest Feng Gu.

This obviously stimulated their ace to some extent.

So far in the game, Jiang Gu has not flinched.

"Since you made that choice, then it's done. Let the opponent take a good look at the style of our Qingdao ace?"

Miyukiichi didn't say anything.

He just crouched down and positioned his gloves.

Miyuki Kazuya's open gloves seemed to possess some kind of magical power...

The glove seemed to become an all-consuming black hole, guiding the boy on the mound.

"Throw the ball over here!"

Down Valley on the pitcher's mound clearly felt the power of this guidance.

The fighting spirit in his body also burst out.

Lift your legs, step with your hips!
The body rotates like a windmill with the crotch as the center.

The two fingers were tightly clasped on the seams of the baseball. As the body's center of gravity shifted, the arm completed the final acceleration.

When releasing the ball, do not use excess strength on your fingers.

This set of actions are firmly engraved in Jiang Gu's mind.

Even before entering high school, Fang Gu followed this method to demand himself.

And he also asked his supervisor at the time to standardize his own pitching movements.

Because in Hokkaido, his supervision itself is not professional.

Furigu's pitching action is still flawed.

In addition, Fangtani was unable to pitch with all his strength at that time.

That flaw has never been corrected.

When Fangtani was in junior high school, the reason why he failed to lead their team at that time was to enter the national competition.

To a large extent, it is because of this.

Later, he entered high school and joined the Seido High School baseball team, one of the top clubs in the country.

Under the professional guidance of Supervisor Kataoka and the team coaches, Furitani's pitching movements were corrected.

From that moment on, he repeated the action hundreds of times every day.

By this time, he had practiced it more than ten thousand times.

Coupled with the accumulation before Jiang Gu, this entire set of pitching movements has become his muscle memory.

Now even Jiang Gu's physical strength has been lost a lot.

The entire pitching action is performed as if it were flowing smoothly. Everything falls into place.

From a bystander's perspective, Fanggu's pitching action is faster than ordinary people.

It doesn't feel particularly unusual.

But when the baseball in his hand flew out.

The feeling is completely different.

"boom!"

The sound of the baseball cutting through the air was deafening.

From the batter's perspective, he could see the white baseball approaching him like lightning.

"How could it be so fast?"

As soon as this idea came up, it was pushed aside by the hitter in the strike zone.

He felt ridiculous for his cowardice.

How could he be so cowardly?
The opponent throws the ball fast, don't they already know this?
The batter gritted his teeth and watched the baseball flash past in front of him.

He already had a plan in mind.

He is in no hurry to take action!
Although their supervisor has relaxed the restrictions on them, allowing them to swing the bat freely.

But Jiang Gu's physical strength has obviously not been exhausted yet.

Their previous strategy cannot be abandoned.

In addition, they also have to choose a ball that they can deal with before taking action.

"His ball speed must be slow!"

"As long as you wait with peace of mind, the opportunity to strike will definitely appear."

Watching the baseball fly by, this thought flashed through the batter's mind.

"Boom!"

The baseball hit the glove and made a loud noise.

The fans in the stands were silent.

Standing on the batter's box, Sibang's first bat was wondering whether the speed of the ball had slowed down?

He looked up at the huge electronic scoreboard.

If the ball speed has really slowed down, he will not limit himself to the last ball...

He planned to take the next shot.

Then the hitter saw a number clearly displayed on the huge electronic scoreboard.

“163 kilometers!!!”

There was silence in the stands at first, and then it was like going crazy.

"Oh my God!!"

"How could it be so fast?"

The fans screamed one after another.

Obviously, the speed of pitching has completely exceeded their previous imagination.

They never dreamed that Fang Gu could increase the speed of the ball to this point?

"This is not the beginning of the game anymore."

"Now, the two sides have been entangled for six whole innings. Fang Gu's pitch count has also approached 70..."

"It stands to reason that by this time, the pitcher's first physical peak will have long passed."

"He can still do it?"

In the reporter's seat.

Fujio, a senior reporter from Baseball Kingdom, took a deep breath subconsciously.

He had previously made an assertion that the offense of the West Bond High School baseball team was about to begin.

He is still very knowledgeable about last year's overlord.

At that time, Fujio already had a premonition that there might be a fight between dragons and tigers about to take place.

But he never dreamed that what finally appeared in front of him would be such a result?
It’s incredible…

All of this is incredible.

"senior?"

Seeing Fujifu's chaos, the assistant reporter next to him was very puzzled.

"I remember Furutani-san, didn't you throw the ball at this speed before?"

No matter how you look at it now, this is the second time he has voted.

Is it necessary to make such a fuss?

"You don't understand, this is different!"

Fujio said in a low tone.

"He made that shot before, and the game had just started, and Fangtani was also very good! But now, Fangtani is equivalent to running a long-distance race for three thousand meters, and then competing with others for 100 meters. Do you think, even if it's a win? Walter, can he still maintain his 100-meter speed?”

After Fujio's explanation, Owada Akiko finally understood why the people on the Nishibon High School baseball team were so desperate?

At the beginning of the sixth game, Xibang's fighting spirit was obviously very high.

It feels like it's easy to score points.

but now.

The entire Sibon High School baseball team's dugout felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Everyone was silent.

Even if their team’s hitters haven’t been dealt with yet.

Even if they still have a chance to attack.

They all seem to have given up...

"boom!"

The sound of explosion spread throughout the entire place.

Before anyone else could react, Fang Gu threw his second ball.

The speed of this ball looks faster.

On the strike zone.

The hitters on the Sibang High School baseball team are completely immersed in despair.

He originally thought about following the original instructions of their supervisor.

When you find the right moment, take action decisively.

It's a good idea, but it's not realistic to actually do it.

How did he know at that time that Shiang Gu's ball speed could reach 163 kilometers?

It's not that he looks down on himself.

But a ball with this speed, looking at all high school students in the world.

No one can touch it at all.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would have been a common occurrence for the ace of the Seido High School baseball team to throw such a ball.

If they simply listen to what others say, they will definitely think that person is talking nonsense.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!!"

"strike out!"

"strike out!!"

"Three out, exchange offense and defense!!"

With three outs, all the dreams of the West Bond High School baseball team became illusions.

The second scoring opportunity they had predicted turned into a joke.

The players returned to the rest area, all depressed.

The wine trough nose supervisor also received a huge shock in his heart.

He looked at his depressed disciples with an expression of regret on his face.

"Everyone……"

Just when he was about to speak, a hearty voice sounded.

"What a monster! If this brat can maintain such a ball speed until the end of the game, then we will admit it! As long as he can't maintain it, we will definitely score. From an offensive point of view, we have already won Got two hits! But they got nothing."

When the game reached the sixth inning, the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team had not yet achieved any results.

Don't talk about scoring.

They didn't even have a hit...

The person who said this was none other than Sano.

Even in the face of difficulties, the fourth player of the National Youth Team can lead everyone to actively respond.
