Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 330: For Victory! (Two in One)

The players of the Xibang High School baseball team and their team's supporters were all stunned.

Jyoutani, who is that?
Although both sides are in the process of competing, they should not let others' ambitions destroy their own prestige.

But the players and supporters of Xibang High School still understand in their hearts how special this freshman who is competing against them is.

In the previous three games of the Qingdao High School baseball team, this monster rookie hit a total of five home runs.

Among the players in this year's Koshien, he is far ahead.

The media called him a super monster at both ends of the field.

Although the Xibang High School baseball team has always maintained its self-esteem as the national hegemon, they are unwilling to admit...

But that's the truth.

Whether they want to admit it or not.

The first-year player who plays third bat for the Seidou High School baseball team is one of the most powerful batters in the Koshien arena today.

Will such a terrifyingly strong bat continue his previous legend when facing a situation with runners on first and third base?

The fans in the stands were very excited.

The players and supporters of the Xibang High School baseball team were also watching nervously.

They have even imagined the spectacular scene of Mars hitting the Earth...

To be honest.

Even at this time, if Akira Fōgami hit the ball out of the court cleanly?

None of them would be so shocked.

But Akihiro Jōgō did not do that.

He went beyond everyone’s expectations and adopted the short-hitting approach.

You know, Fūya is actually not good at short hitting.

But he still did it resolutely.

Rather than risking everything, he chose a more certain way to score.

"Isn't this a short hit? This is a forced point...!"

The coaches and players of the Xibang High School baseball team are not fools either.

They soon figured out why Jōtani did this.

After realizing this, their infielders immediately took action.

The infielder ran forward desperately.

The Xibang player wanted to catch the ball and throw directly to home base regardless of the runner.

anyway……

There was no way they would let these guys from Seidou High School baseball team score this point.

"Ping!"

Fūtani's short hitting is very amateurish.

The ball, which was supposed to stop and roll away, bounced back in an arc after being hit by his bat.

The outfielder of the Xibang High School baseball team rushed too far forward, and he had never expected such a situation to happen...

Wait until they see the baseball bounce out.

It was too late for them to turn back, and they could only watch the baseball pass over their heads.

"damn it……"

"You are such a wimp!..."

"Do you dare to fight any worse?"

It's not just the players on the Xibang High School baseball team.

Even the friends in Qingdao's rest area felt like their hearts were about to jump out.

"How dare you when the bunt is so bad?"

The other friends were all complaining, but Sawamura, who was standing in front of the group, looked as if nothing had happened.

"That's it, unexpectedly!"

He is the player with the best short hitting ability in the Seidou High School baseball team.

His praise made the other players on the Seidou High School baseball team doubt their own judgment for a moment.

Is it because their vision is too poor?
So much so that they completely failed to see the mystery behind this short hit?
Otherwise, why would Sawamura, the master of short hitting, make such a comment?

No matter what everyone thinks?
This goal was quite clever in terms of its effect.

Kuramochi on third base was running at full speed, unstoppable.

By the time the players of Xibang High School baseball team successfully filled in, he had already successfully run to home base.

"Safety!"

The Seido High School baseball team successfully scored its first point.

The score on the court became 1:0.

In the stands, the die-hard supporters of the Seidou High School baseball team were going crazy.

They were so excited that they almost jumped up.

"Perfect!…"

"Success!!"

"We are the ones who scored the first point!"

Although before this, the offense of Seidou High School baseball team encountered great challenges.

They were unable to get any hits or points.

So from the situation point of view, they were completely suppressed by their opponents.

But the situation now is different.

In the end, it was their team that scored the first point.

What moved the members of the Seidou High School baseball team the most was that the biggest contributor to the first point was not their team's strong third and fourth batters.

But the first and second batters of their team.

This fully demonstrates that every main player of their team has a very stable position on the court.

"You guys are awesome!"

"As expected of Seidou, this is Seidou's offensive style."

"There is an old saying that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. Today, I finally understand it."

Overall, what was the most surprising thing about the Qingdao High School baseball team's attack this time?
There was no doubt that it was Fūtani's short hit.

He is the most terrifying batting force in the Qingdao High School baseball team.

His short hit was beyond the opponent's expectations.

In the end, it helped the Qingdao High School baseball team get this point.

Even though he was out!
But his goal had been achieved.

Not only that, Furutani also sent the team's second batter to second base.

Now there is one out and a runner on second base.

In the dugout of the Seabon High School baseball team.

The faces of this group of people were like ice chips, as cold as they could be.

The score broke the duck egg and now it becomes 1:0.

The scene they had worked so hard to create now looked like a joke.

"How could this be?"

"You clearly have a trump card, but you haven't played it yet?"

The players on the Xibang High School baseball team found it hard to accept.

Their team's ace, Matsu Fujii, had played some of his cards before.

But the ultimate trick he prepared to win the championship has not been used yet...

According to the original idea of ​​the Xibang High School baseball team, as long as they take out this trump card, all problems will be solved.

but now.

They haven't played their trump card yet, they're just about to use it...

Their opponents pushed them to the brink of a cliff.

"How to do?"

Not only the contestants were dumbfounded.

Even the supervisor with the trough nose had his brows furrowed into pimples.

He stared at his opponent in disbelief, his brain working furiously.

However, even though his CPU was about to burn out, he couldn't think of a way to break the current situation?

All this happened so suddenly!
Especially Fūya's short attack, which completely disrupted their previous arrangements.

"In short, don't get discouraged!"

The coach of the Xibang High School baseball team thought for a while and his eyes became firm again.

He understood in his heart.

Once they choose to retreat at this time, everything they have will be over.

The more serious the situation is, the more they must grit their teeth and persevere to the end and never give up.

"Get the last two outs first, and think about the offense later!"

I can’t think of any solution for now.

The supervisor of the Xibang High School baseball team chose the most pragmatic approach.

That is to deal with the current situation first. As long as they deal with the current situation, they will have a chance to turn the tide later.

Otherwise, they might not even have the chance to fight back.

The coach with the trough nose obviously has great confidence in the abilities of his players.

After he gave the order, he didn't even look at the court.

He closed his eyes and began to think about what to do next.
Matsu Fujii was under tremendous pressure on the pitcher's mound.

But their team's supervision gave him unprecedented trust.

His teammates encouraged him over and over again.

This ignited a sense of pride in the heart of this powerful pitcher.

Although he is the ace of the Xibang High School baseball team, he has always played the role of a conventional ace.

But this does not mean that he does not have greater ambitions.

How can a person who can become the main pitcher of a giant team be content with being ordinary?

"Maybe today is my chance to make a name for myself."

The fourth batter of the Seidou High School baseball team came on the field.

He was a hitter who posed an endless threat just by standing in the batter's box.

The way he waited to strike was enough to make his opponent feel sick.

But now, the ace of the Westbourne High School baseball team feels he has a chance.

"Whoosh!"

White baseball, whizzing out.

Yuki, who was in the batter's box, didn't hesitate and hit the ball out.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the bat hit the baseball.

"Ping!"

The hit baseball flew out of bounds.

The friends in the Qingdao rest area frowned after seeing this scene.

They had always thought that the players of the Xibang High School baseball team were just bluffing.

How could they still have a trump card?
However, at this moment, the other party slapped all of them in the face with reality.

The previous sacrifice of Furuya became more meaningful than ever before.

"You actually have a hidden card?"

"After all, they were the national champions last year. If they want to maintain their performance this year, they must be prepared."

"It looks like a variation of the straight ball?"

“A two-seam ball, or maybe a zero-seam ball.”

The teammates on the Seidou High School baseball team already have a deep understanding of Fujii Matsu.

They know very well what kind of ball the opponent will use to achieve such an effect.

Give them a little time and they will adapt.

But the problem is, they don't have that much time...

The game was already in the bottom of the seventh inning, and there was not much time left for the opponent, and there was not much time left for them either.

"It's really fatal that it broke out at this time."

The teammates of the Qingdao High School baseball team all looked extremely unhappy when they discussed this issue.

Minister Ota was even more muttering.

"Luckily, Fūya-san used a short attack just now, otherwise?"

With a ball like this, it is very likely that Furuya will make a mistake in hitting the ball, or even be killed by a double team.

"Now, I'm in trouble..."

According to the members of the Seidou High School baseball team, they had previous experience playing against their opponents.

It was extremely difficult for them to get a hit from Xibang.

Now it is even more difficult.

Even at this time, the person standing in the batter's box was the fourth batter of their team.

The first time the players faced a ball like Fujii Matsu, they were all very nervous.

Different from their anxiety.

The players of Xibang High School baseball team are in high spirits.

Following their trump card, they took out their best shot.

They are ready to risk everything.

Even though their current opponent is Yuuki, the fourth batter of the Seidou High School baseball team.

They are just as motivated!
"A good ball..."

"make persistent efforts!"

"That guy isn't that big of a deal. Didn't we already deal with him before?"

Amidst the cheers.

On the pitcher's mound, Fujii Matsu gathered all his strength and threw the baseball in his hand.

He knew very well that his hidden zero-seam pitching could not suppress Qingdao all the time.

Seidou's hitters are really excellent.

As long as they are given a little time, they will be able to adapt and even deal with this kind of ball.

"But if it's just the first round, no one can hit the ball like me."

Fujii Matsu thought to himself.

With this belief, he is full of confidence in his pitching.

He was very sure that even if the opponent touched the ball, it would definitely fall to his teammates.

On the strike zone.

Yuuki's eyes suddenly widened.

He was originally as still as a mountain, but when he saw the baseball approaching, he started to move.

Still as a mountain, swift as thunder.

From preparing to hit, to swinging...

All this happened as suddenly as a flash flood.

The main catcher of the Xibang High School baseball team clearly saw the bat being swung, but was too late to react.

There were only two simple words left in his mind.

So fast! !
As fast as lightning.

"boom!!"

With a loud bang, the bat hit the baseball hard.

"Ping!"

The baseball was hit and flew out, turning into a stream of light.

The fielder of the Xibang High School baseball team watched the baseball fall to the ground in front of him.

He wanted to take action.

But the speed of this ball was too fast.

Even if he has already formed muscle nerve reflexes, he can perform actions directly without the brain's reaction.

His body didn't have time to react...

Even though the baseball was only two meters away from him, he could only watch it fall to the ground.

"Snapped!"

The baseball bounced off the ground and the players of the Xibang High School baseball team did not react.

In the stands.

Those die-hard supporters of the Seidou High School baseball team had never dared to imagine such a beautiful scene before.

"So handsome!"

"The speed of this ball is as fast as lightning!!"

"I went through it..."

"no response!!"

The players of the Xibang High School baseball team did not react, but the players of the Qingdao High School baseball team were different.

As the baseball hits the ground it bounces.

With a smile on his face, Ryosuke Kominato ran to third base like lightning.

Although he is not tall, his running speed is not slow at all.

The main catcher of Xibang High School's baseball team had also come to his senses by this time.

His eyes almost popped out of his head.

The ball just now was so fast that he didn't have time to react.

By the time he reacted, the little guy from the Qingdao High School baseball team had already run past third base.

The opponent is charging towards home base.

"pass it to me…!"
