Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 336 The th Strikeout!! (Two in One)

The game between Seidou High School baseball team and Nishibon has entered the final moments of the decisive battle.

In the top of the ninth inning, the Xibang High School baseball team attacked.

The score on the field is 2:0, with Qingdao leading.

But the situation they face is not as optimistic as the scores show.

With two outs, there was a man on second base.

At such a critical moment, it was the turn of Nishikuni's fourth batter, Sano, to bat.

How strong is this man?
Everyone knows it.

Although he had fought with Jyoutani several times before, he was not able to gain any advantage.

But there are still many people at the scene who feel that as long as this man is on the court, the situation on the court will definitely change.

After all, he was the fourth batter of the national youth team and a prestigious top high school student in the country.

"The opponent's pitching power is no longer comparable to that at the beginning of the game. We have a chance, and we will definitely have a chance."

The players and supporters of the Xibang High School baseball team were more excited than ever before.

This is not a fuss on their part.

The main thing is that in today's game, Xibang played really poorly.

They were firmly suppressed by Qingdao's first-year ace.

To the point that they saw no hope of winning or even scoring.

On the contrary, in the top of the ninth inning, with two outs...

The players and supporters of the Xibang High School baseball team finally found an opportunity to vent.

Their hearts are as clear as a mirror.

Although their current situation still does not look particularly optimistic.

But this is their best chance.

There is no better opportunity than now!
"Fight with all your might and show no mercy!!!"

With the support and blessings of everyone, Sano, standing in the batter's box, looked like he was possessed by the devil.

His entire body is very tall.

Especially his eyes, which gave people the feeling that they were emitting scarlet light.

"Hehe, come on! No matter where you throw the baseball, I will definitely hit it out!!!"

Miyuki, who was squatting at the catcher's position, felt his heart beating like a drum.

He stared at the opponent in front of him, his eyes filled with caution.

Although the ball just now was scored by Fūya, it was because he did not notice the sweat on his palms that the opponent took advantage of the opportunity.

Then hit the ball and get a hit.

But why didn't Furuya even notice this?
The answer is simple, isn’t it?
That is of course because his physical energy consumption has reached an unprecedented level.

"My physical strength has declined. I'm afraid that if I use a simple straight ball to defeat my opponent..."

Yukichi was a little embarrassed.

Based on his understanding of pitchers, they would never choose to retreat at this time.

Their team's Furuya is a top pitcher...

I think he would not choose to retreat.

When Miyuki looked up, he also saw the serious expression on his partner's face.

"We must face off head-on! We must defeat our opponent cleanly and efficiently..."

No secret codes or lip syncing are required.

The moment he saw the other person, Miyuki already understood what his partner was planning.
“It’s really embarrassing.”

Is it according to the pitcher's wishes or according to his ideas...

The two had a disagreement.

But Miyuki did not act arbitrarily and force his partner to act according to his own ideas.

"Follow your ideas and use all your strength."

finally.

Yuki chose to compromise.

At this moment, Furutani on the pitcher's mound was extremely imposing.

The baseball in his hands seemed to have infinite magic.

"boom!!"

A huge roar sounded.

The players of Xibang High School baseball team have all felt numb.

"Hey!"

They really wanted to ask, can the first-year ace of Qingdao High School baseball team really be considered a mortal?

How could his pitching power be so terrifying?

Everyone was puzzled.

The white baseball has appeared in front of the batter.

In the batter's box, Sano didn't move.

He watched the baseball flash by.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

The baseball strayed out of the strike zone.

The number of balls became one good and one bad.

Everyone on the Xibang High School baseball team breathed a sigh of relief in surprise.

"It's incredible!"

"How could he see so clearly?"

Everyone expressed that they found it difficult to understand.

In fact, they really don't understand.

Why can their fourth batsman be so calm?
Heart to heart.

If they were standing in the batter's box and faced with such a terrifying ball, they would definitely not be able to help but shoot.

This amazement lasted only a brief moment.

quickly!

Players of the Xibang High School baseball team and their team's supporters.

There was an expression of surprise on their faces.

What does this mean?
After marveling at Furutani's pitching speed, they discovered a fact.

"That boy can no longer control the ball accurately."

He was extremely exhausted and probably didn't want to waste even a single ball.

But he just made bad shots.

"He couldn't maintain his stamina and couldn't shoot the ball in the corners. All he could do at this time was to shoot some balls in the middle."

Xibang's supervisor touched his trough nose and said with a smile.

Even though he had already expected it.

But when the result was actually presented to him.

He still wasn't sure.

He was thinking about the scene that was about to happen.

Will it really happen?

Now it seems that the result he has been expecting in his heart is not far away from them.

"It's up to you! Just do it in one go and defeat the enemy completely!"

The coach of the Xibang High School baseball team stared at his own batter with a fiery look.

Although there are other pitchers in Seidou's rest area.

But the supervisors of Xibang High School and the supporters of their team all understood it.

The threat those people posed to them was almost negligible...

It’s not that they are not strong.

However, compared to the terrifying dominance of Akira Fōgani, the other pitchers of Seidou are obviously not as good as them.

So next, their team has two goals to accomplish.

The first thing is to get points as quickly as possible.

If we can achieve this goal, we can also get Seidou's current pitcher off the field.

That would be even more perfect!
Sano in the batter's box seemed to have turned into a demon.

He held the bat high with both hands and stared at his opponent with his bright eyes.

If the situation changes slightly, he will attack with all his strength.

"bring it on!"

"As soon as the baseball comes..."

On the pitcher's mound, Furutani felt unprecedented pressure.

In this opponent, he seemed to see the high wall of his career.

"As expected of Koshien, as expected of the best high school student in the country."

When Furuya is full of energy.

Even though Sano was ranked number one in the country, he didn't feel too much pressure.

But when his physical strength began to deteriorate.

The sense of oppression brought by the man in front of him suddenly increased many times.

It's not even entirely down to physical strength.

There was a vague feeling in Furuya...

Facing an opponent of Sano's level, the closer it got to the end of the game, the stronger the fighting power they could unleash and the sense of oppression they brought. This strong sense of oppression even made his breathing less smooth.

As the national champion, as the main player of the national youth team...

The fighting power that players of their level unleashed at the last moment was so terrifying.

"call!!"

Fūya Akira took a deep breath.

He knew in his heart that he could not retreat no matter what.

Even if he had to grit his teeth, he had to continue throwing the baseball.

Raise your arms high and swing with all your might.

At the same time, he took a step forward, increasing the impact of his body.

"boom!"

The white baseball reappeared and came in front of Sano in the blink of an eye.

Sano held the bat tightly with both hands and hit the flying baseball without any hesitation.

"boom!"

The sound of his bat breaking through the air drowned out the sound of the baseball breaking through the air.

Then people saw the white baseball being knocked out.

"Ping!"

Yuki, the first baseman, jumped up after seeing the ball.

He wanted to stop the ball.

However, the height of the baseball was beyond his jumping ability.

He could only watch the baseball fly past him.

"Snapped!"

The baseball landed behind the first baseman.

The die-hard supporters of the Seidou High School baseball team felt like their hearts were about to jump out.

Fortunately, this ball went off the sideline.

"The outside world!"

The ball count is two good and one bad.

The batter was chased.

However, the teammates on the Seidou High School baseball team couldn't laugh at all when faced with such a situation.

They felt cold sweat on their foreheads.

The opponent's terrifying degree far exceeded their imagination.

"A head-on confrontation, the core players of both teams are refusing to give in to each other!"

The commentator of the game enjoys watching the fun.

In an impassioned and generous explanation.

The emotions of the supporters of both teams were close to madness.

They also refused to give in to each other.

In the batter's box, Sano's eyes were frighteningly bright.

"That's it! That's it!!!"

"Come on, Monster Boy! Throw the faster ball over here..."

After these two goals.

Sano, who was standing in the batter's box, already understood what Fūya was thinking.

Of course, they, as equally talented super-geniuses, would not back down.

So if nothing unexpected happens, the two will fight until the last moment.

Just thinking about this scene makes one's heart beat faster.

As the top-ranked high school student in the country, Sano gradually felt lonely on the road of high school baseball.

This doesn't mean that he has never encountered an opponent stronger than him?

Judging from his experience, there are naturally people who are stronger than him.

But most of them are professional players who have been famous for many years.

Among his peers.

Sano hasn't faced such a challenge for a long time.

I feel like every pore in my body is beating with excitement.

"Come on! I'm already excited..."

His eyes, like those of a devil, were fixed firmly on Jyoutani.

Give people the feeling.

Just like whenever Fūya attacks, he will be ruthless and go all out.

Sano firmly believed that he would not make any mistakes in this final ball confrontation.

Would he be able to mercilessly blast that white baseball directly out of the field?

It seemed as if all the cells in his body had begun to cheer.

Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, keenly noticed something.

He turned his head to look at his opponent and frowned subconsciously.

"That's not quite right..."

It was at this time that Furuya on the pitcher's mound moved without any warning.

It was fine when he wasn't moving.

Once he moves, he is like thunder.

The pitching action is so fast that it's scary.

But no one noticed that when Fūya threw the baseball, his posture of holding the ball was a little strange.

He didn't use his middle or index finger to pass the ball, but his ring finger.

"Whoosh!"

A baseball flew over.

The moment he saw the baseball, Sano, who was ready to go, started moving.

His swing of the bat was just as fast as lightning.

"Good! Right now!!!"

Aim at the flying baseball and hit it with all your strength.

At this moment, Sano was extremely confident that he could hit the ball away.

The players and supporters of Xibang High School baseball team all had fiery eyes.

For them, it was a relief to see their ace perform so strongly.

It's hard to describe that feeling in words.

In short, it feels great!
"Fight it out!"

“We must fight back!!!”

They had such expectations in their hearts.

But soon, these expectant eyes turned into fear.

The players of the Xibang High School baseball team opened their eyes wide in surprise, as if they had seen a ghost.

"How can this be?"

They seem to find it difficult to understand or even accept.

But this scene actually happened.

Sano had already swung the bat completely, and the baseball that was supposed to be hit away by him disappeared.

At this moment, Sano's pupils also widened.

He thought of a terrible possibility! !
as predicted.

The white baseball arrived late, and only after the bat was swung did the baseball get into Miyuki's glove.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

"strike out!!!"

Three people are out, the game is over!
"In the Koshien quarter-finals, Seidou High School baseball team played against Seiho High School baseball team. In the end, it was Seidou who won the game!!!"

"we won!!!"

“2:0!!!!”

The rest area and stands of the Seidou High School baseball team turned into a sea of ​​joy.

The teammates of Seidou High School baseball team were all excited.

They were excited about the scene before them. They were very, very excited.

The opponent is last year's national champion and their team's biggest competitor.

In the end, when the dust settled, their team was still stronger.

This scene is exciting enough just to think about it.

Not to mention, the friends are now witnessing it with their own eyes.

Only Sano seemed to be petrified at this moment.

He looked up in disbelief, at the young man on the pitcher's mound, who was standing with his back straight and breathing heavily.

"Why is it a changeup?"

"How could it be a changeup?"

They had clearly agreed to use their strongest straight balls to compete?
"How could he betray me?"
