Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 333: The Despairing Falling Valley! (Two in One)

The batter of the Xibang High School baseball team had a face as red as an eggplant.

As a main player of the national overlord, he had never been so embarrassed on the court.

It was like a loud slap in the face.

In the dugout of the Seabon High School baseball team.

Including the supervisor, they were all silent.

According to their original plan, the game has been going on for now and will be over soon.

On the pitcher's mound, Furutani's pitch count was approaching 100.

He must be very tired!

How could he possibly afford that kind of pitching method with his body not yet fully grown?

The people on the Xibang High School baseball team couldn't figure it out.

But this scene actually happened right in front of them.

Regardless of whether they can figure it out?
These are all facts, facts that are difficult to refute.

The players of the Xibang High School baseball team are not really speechless.

They had a lot of things in their hearts, but they just couldn't say them out loud.

Once they said it, all the morale of their team would be gone.

Just thinking about it, it was a scene that they didn't want to face no matter what.

The current situation is not optimistic.

But as long as they don't speak up, the game may continue.

The batter in the strike zone stood up again.

His little face was flushed and his eyes were blazing with fire as he stared at Jyoutani.

Having lost so much face, the anger in his heart was about to burst out.

"How incompetent!"

Miyuki, squatting in the catcher's position, shook his head in dissatisfaction.

It was obviously the batter's own fault. When he saw Fūtani's pitch, he subconsciously chose to escape.

What does it have to do with Furuya?
But he obviously didn't think so. He forgave himself and blamed all the mistakes on Fūya.

"Come on, young man, unleash all the hidden power in your body! Let our opponents see how incompetent they are."

As a partner.

Of course, Kazuya Miyuki knew that Akira Fōtani was almost reaching his limit.

But what can they do?

It's already the eighth round, and it's time to change strategy and conserve energy.

It's totally unrealistic.

It’s better to just be tough to the end.

Let those guys get to know what a real monster is.

Even if something happens...

There are three pitchers in their rest area, waiting eagerly.

After seeing Miyuki's signal, Furutani, who was about to burst out with all his strength, felt that the power in his body became even more abundant.

He himself felt strange.

It was obvious that in today's game, he did not deliberately conserve his energy while pitching.

He shot very happily and crazily.

According to normal logic, his physical strength should have been consumed to 80% or 90%.

But now, Jōtani didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue at all.

His eyes were as big as bells, and even his ears were sharper than before.

Every part of the body is like a longbow with a fully drawn bowstring.

"Then come on!"

Get ready and attack with all your strength.

"boom!"

The moment the baseball was thrown, there was a huge sound of breaking through the air.

The batter of the Xibang High School baseball team watched the baseball getting closer.

He clenched his teeth tightly and pressed the tip of his tongue against the upper jaw.

This time, whether it is to learn from previous lessons or for the overall dignity of their team.

He was determined not to back down.

Not only that, he has to take action when the baseball gets close.

The hitter thought well.

But he waited until the white baseball approached him.

The batter then realized how naive his previous thoughts were.

The baseball came too fast and with too much momentum.

Like a silver stream of light, it instantly appeared in front of him.

Not only that, but he also had the sound of baseball screaming in his ears.

The terrifying sound of breaking through the air was like that of some unknown monster.

Facing this kind of baseball.

The batter had already exhausted all his willpower just to keep his head clear and grit his teeth and not back down.

He couldn't resist at all.

In the end, he could only watch the white baseball pass through his eyes.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

The batter was chased.

A number was clearly displayed on the huge electronic scoreboard.

158 kilometers.

This is undoubtedly good news for the players of Xibang High School baseball team.

Although Furutani's pitching looks as strong as ever.

But in fact, the opponent's pitching speed has slowed down.

Numbers don't lie.

The numbers displayed on the huge electronic scoreboard clearly illustrate this point.

However, in the face of such good things, the players and supporters of Xibang High School baseball team were not happy at all.

"It's almost over, and his ball speed can still be maintained above 155 kilometers?"

How can they be happy about this?

Although the ball speed has decreased, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Even with Fūtani's current pitching speed, they are far beyond their reach.

"How to do?"

A huge question mark appeared in front of everyone in Xibang.

Although they already had a premonition before.

But that premonition was not as strong as this premonition now.

They felt numbness in their hands and feet, weakness in their limbs, and even sweat in their palms.

What does this mean?
This shows that in their subconscious, they still believe that they are doomed and powerless to reverse the situation.

"Is there really no other solution?"

Everyone on the Xibang High School baseball team thought so in their hearts.

The supporters of their team were passionate and enthusiastic, shouting non-stop.

For them, they are obviously unwilling to accept such an outcome.

They were the national champions last year and are the favorites to defend their title this year.

However, the players of the Xibang High School baseball team have already suffered a severe blow in their hearts.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!!"

"nice shot!!!"

"strike out!!"

"strike out!!!"

"Three out, offense and defense exchange."

The three batters of the Xibang High School baseball team failed to achieve any results in the end.

They were eliminated one after another.

At the end of the first half of the eighth inning, the score was still 2:0.

In the rest area of ​​the Qingdao High School baseball team, the eyes of a group of kids were shining brightly.

With these three outs, they took it.

The opportunities left for the Xibang High School baseball team are very slim.

"They are finished! This time they are completely finished!!"

The guys were not kidding.

They were only three eliminations away from defeating this powerful opponent.

There were indeed problems with Akira Jōgō's pitching speed.

He is no longer as strong as he was at the beginning of the game.

But the teammates on the Qingdao High School baseball team could still see that... their ace was in good overall condition, in good spirits, and his physical strength had not been drained.

There are only three outs left, which shouldn't be a problem for him.

"One foot has already stepped into the threshold of the top four!"

This is undoubtedly the best evaluation of them.

This is also the most common thought in their minds.

"We can't let it end like this. We need to find a way to get a few more points."

In the bottom of the eighth inning, the Seido High School baseball team went on offense.

The first batter to step into the batter's box was their team's seventh batter, Kazuya Miyuki, who was wearing glasses.

As the main catcher of the Seidou High School baseball team.

He has done a smooth job as catcher and made great contributions.

But as a hitter for the team.

Judging from their game today against the Xibang High School baseball team, Miyuki's performance can only be described as unsatisfactory.

Obviously, Yuki couldn't accept such a result.

From his point of view, their opponents were not far from collapse.

It shouldn't be difficult to get rid of the other party.

As for himself, as an important hitter of Seidou High School baseball team, he should also perform well.

In the last game, whether it was his sophomore companion or his first-year junior.

They have all contributed their own strength.

Especially his third-year seniors, their performance on the court was even more dazzling.

He can't be bad!
He held the bat high in his hand and locked his eyes firmly on his opponent.

Even now, there are no runners on base.

Miyuki also showed an extremely focused attitude.

He wants to hit the ball!
As soon as the baseball gets close, he will hit it mercilessly.

"bring it on!"

The young man's eyes seemed to be able to spit out flames.

His determination to hit the ball was extremely strong.

The teammates in the Qingdao rest area were looking at the court with determined eyes.

Their hearts were obviously greatly shocked.

"This guy has been getting more and more jumpy lately!"

"Even when there were no runners on base, his hit rate was getting higher and higher."

"Although the competition in our team is unprecedentedly fierce. But to be honest, he is likely to become the next..."

Although the third-year seniors haven't left yet.

But this does not mean that the teammates of Seidou High School baseball team will not discuss this issue in private.

Who will be the next leader?

If we talk about it from the perspective of strength, this may not be a problem.

But from the perspective of qualifications.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next leader should be a sophomore player.

That Kazuya Miyuki is really eye-catching.

"As long as he can hit this ball! When the supervisor asked for my opinion, I recommended him without hesitation."

The senior with a small mustache said this in a decisive tone.

He had made up his mind.

However, it was at this time that Fujii Matsu threw the ball.

Seeing the baseball flying towards him, Yuki in the batter's box did not choose to wait.

He followed suit and hit the bat in his hand out.

"Well done!"

He had predicted the location of this ball long ago.

"Ping!"

The moment the bat hit the baseball, a trace of surprise flashed across Kazuya Miyuki's face.

He felt his hands sink and he almost couldn't hold the bat.

This made the young man extremely surprised.

"Still so heavy?"

This was not the first time the two sides had fought each other, and Miyuki had already witnessed Fujii Matsu's strength.

He originally thought that since the opponent's pitching had persisted for so long, the power must have declined.

But it was beyond his expectation.

The ace of the Xibang High School baseball team seems to be a monster just like the ace of their team.

The opponent's strength is extremely outstanding.

Even now, his strength has not weakened much.

The white baseball flew high into the sky and flew forward for a full seventy meters before it began to fall.

The outfielder of the Xibang High School baseball team seemed to be well prepared and was waiting below where the baseball landed.

Seeing the baseball falling, he decisively raised his glove and caught the ball steadily.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

In the dugout of the Seido High School baseball team.

The more expectations the group of friends had, the more disappointed they are now.

"cut!!"

"It's just a little bit short..."

"Don't flatter yourself. Is it just a little bit off? It's at least ten meters off!"

"At least twenty meters!!"

What everyone was discussing was the distance between the baseball and the fence.

According to them, this goal was really a pity.

But it’s not such a pity.

After all, baseball is still that far away from the fence, right?
Chris muttered to himself, pen in hand.

"He determined the baseball's penetration point in advance and hit the ball accurately. Fujii's power did not decrease. If a different pitcher was used, the result might be completely different."

If the person in charge of pitching was not Fujii, who had excellent strength, but someone else.

Then the result of this ball is likely to be a home run!!!

Chris was very keenly aware of how fast the seventh batter of their team was improving.

Yukichi is no longer comparable to before.

The game continues and the 8th batter comes on.

Coach Kataoka started to replace the substitute...

Although they are now leading by two points, coach Kataoka is obviously not satisfied.

The opponent is Xibang.

Even if they have a significant advantage, it does not mean that their opponents are unable to turn the tables.

Once their opponents find an opportunity, the consequences will be very troublesome.

They must find a way to score actively.

If they can expand the score, they will be able to nip all dangers in the bud.

Even if the score was not expanded in the end.

Their aggressive offensive posture will also affect their opponents to a great extent.

"We must not give our opponents any breathing space."

Director Kataoka’s approach is certainly correct.

Unfortunately, their opponents are no pushovers.

They were the national champion last year and were the most powerful team.

It is extremely difficult for two substitutes to shake each other.

"Out!"

"Out!!"

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

At the end of the eighth game, the score between the two sides was still 2:0.

This situation is not good for both teams.

The Seidou High School baseball team did not completely crush their opponents.

same……

The Xibang High School baseball team also had to play their final innings with a huge burden on their shoulders.

9th inning, top half.

The Westbourne High School baseball team is on offense.

The coach of their team, who had a ruddy nose, had a hoarse voice.

"Although the process was somewhat tortuous, we have finally arrived at this moment. Everyone understands that our final chance to attack is coming!"
