Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 344 Shocked the whole audience, -meter long pass! (Two in one)

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

The players on both sides of the game did not look very friendly.

The Qingxue High School baseball team's original plans all came to nothing.

They had clearly made up their minds not to let Tamba play well no matter what.

As a result, their idea did not succeed at all.

Instead, it was their opponents who seized this opportunity and took advantage of it to rise.

They took three outs with thunderous momentum.

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

The players and supporters of Seidou High School baseball team also looked a little unnatural.

But they are different from their opponents.

The reason why the players from Seidou felt unnatural was mainly because they didn't expect it.

The pitcher of their team actually performed so well?
Before, they were very worried because they saw that their opponent was quite strong.

Now it seems that their worries were unnecessary.

"No matter what, he is our former ace, so his strength is not a problem. If you underestimate him, Qingxue High School will suffer a great loss."

The faces of the supporters stiffened slightly.

They soon made up for it themselves.

After all, Danbo is also a junior on their team.

Seeing Koichiro's performance, it was so outstanding.

Of course everyone is happy.

It's just that at the beginning, they were so shocked that they didn't switch over.

"Keep going!!"

"Let these guys suffer a lot."

According to the friends, they should continue their efforts.

During the first offensive game, although they failed to score any points, they still managed to hit the ball out.

Also got two base hits.

What does this mean?
This fully demonstrates that it is not impossible for them to score points.

The key is timing and luck.

Who knows, their luck might be coming soon.

Just when this thought came to the minds of the partners.

On the pitcher's mound, the man named Tezuka threw a clean and neat pitch.

The fifth batter of Qingdao is a senior with a small mustache who doesn't like to play by the rules.

When he saw the ball, he hit the bat in his hand without mercy.

"Ping!"

The bat hits the baseball.

The players and supporters of Seidou all had excited smiles on their faces.

"Hit!"

From their perspective, as long as they can hit the baseball, the possibilities are endless.

But the expression on the face of the senior with the mustache was a little uneasy.

Through the recoil from his hands, he clearly realized that the baseball was not completely under his control.

The moment he hit the ball, he let go of the bat and ran as fast as he could.

But the senior with the mustache was nervous in his heart.

It turned out that his worries were not unnecessary.

After the white baseball was hit, it flew straight towards the opponent's fielder.

Kikumaru, who was agile, rushed forward first.

The moment the baseball hit the ground and bounced, he caught the ball directly into his glove.

This is not over yet.

After catching the ball in his glove, he rolled forward and stood up.

And in the process, he also passed the ball.

"Snapped!"

The baseball was passed into the first baseman's glove.

"Out!"

One out and no one on base.

The fans in the stands were all deeply attracted by the dazzling movements.

"My goodness!"

“Could this guy be a gymnast?”

"His movements are so flexible, he doesn't look like a clumsy baseball player at all."

Although not every baseball player has that bulky image.

But in the minds of ordinary people, the strong players they perceive are all like that without exception.

It's no wonder that people have such prejudice.

Compared to other players, baseball players are generally strong and relatively clumsy.

There are definitely very few people as flexible as Kikumaru.

"Beauty defense!"

Such a beautiful defensive move can no longer be considered ordinary defense.

This is what is called aesthetic skill.

The morale of Qingxue High School was already at a disadvantage as the game progressed.

Because of this beautiful defense, they were able to pull back a lot of the points.

The two sides are almost back to the same starting point.

"This is too much pressure, don't you know?"

In the stands, the baseball club's vice-captain, Rei Takashima, frowned subconsciously.

Who knows Seidou's players best?

There is no doubt that she is on the list.

The Qingxue High School baseball team is pressing so hard that there is a high possibility that their current pitcher will have problems.

Of course, this is just a possibility.

In fact, before actually encountering Qingxue High School.

The people from Qingdao really didn't expect that this game would be so difficult?

Both sides will fight so hard and refuse to give in to each other.

The game continues and the sixth batter comes on.

Although Zengzi tried very hard, his swing did not hit the ball.

The other party seemed to be targeting me intentionally.

"strike out!"

The opponent quickly got two outs.

As the team's seventh batter, Miyuki also stood in the batter's box at this time.

His face was solemn.

Laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

Although the fans in the stands are cheering loudly, they actually don’t see where the opponent’s strengths lie.
The strength of Qingxue High School is not as simple as people see on the surface.

In addition to their strength, they have another characteristic.

That is, the other party's intelligence work was quite thorough.

Before Qingdao, he did not realize how powerful this opponent was.

But it is no exaggeration to say that he knows Qingdao like the back of his hand.

People are very clear about the characteristics of each player of Qingdao.

In this way, during a head-on confrontation, others can make corresponding countermeasures.

"If they are allowed to continue like this, the consequences will be disastrous."

Yukichi narrowed his eyes.

As the team's main number two, he must perform.

"If you want to plot against us, you must be prepared to be plotted against."

Holding the bat high in his hand, Miyuki made an attitude as if he was determined to hit the ball.

My friends are also looking forward to it.

Although no one was standing on the bases at this time, their team's star catcher was no longer the same as before.

Even with no one on the base, his performance was still remarkable.

Like now.

Everyone was looking forward to Miyuki being able to sweep the ball out directly.

"bring it on!"

"We believe you!!"

As everyone watched expectantly, a ball was thrown from the pitcher's mound.

Miyuki also swung the bat with confidence.

The moment the bat hit the baseball, there was a crisp sound.

"Ping!"

Until this time, people were looking forward to witnessing the miracle with their own eyes.

However, the miracle they were longing for did not seem to happen.

Although the baseball flew out, it didn't fly very far.

Flying directly in front of Tezuka.

The ace of Qingxue caught the ball into his glove with almost no effort.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

At the end of the first half of the second inning, Qingdao had not scored any points.

Not even a hit.

Their performance was not as good as in the first game. On the other hand, their opponents showed high morale.

"very good!"

"That's it, all in one go!"

"Let's get the points..."

The game entered the bottom half of the second inning, and Qingxue High School was on the attack.

Although Tamba is in good shape, Qingdao's teammates and supporters can't help but worry.

Qingxue's behavior is too abnormal.

And next, it will be the turn of their core hitters.

This is even more worrying.

Before Tamba came on stage, Coach Kataoka moved his lips.

But he still couldn't speak in the end.

Now there are only one or two games left before the third-year players leave the team.

Expect them to make rapid progress in such a short period of time.

That's obviously unrealistic.

And judging from Danbo's current situation, he has evolved quite well.

Even if he really has some shortcomings on the court, from the perspective of coach Kataoka, his potential can only reach that level.

Can't go any further.

The game continues and Danbo comes on the court.

It seemed like God was playing a joke on Qingdao. The more they feared something, the more likely God was to arrange it for them.

Danbo, who had just come on the court, soon encountered problems.

The fourth batter of Qingxue High School is a seemingly stupid player.

But once he picked up the bat, it was like he was a different person.

“Come on, come on!!”

When he saw the baseball thrown by Danbo, he was even more unceremonious and just hit the ball away.

"Ping!"

Yukichi saw it clearly.

The swinging bat actually failed to hit the center of the ball.

But the white baseball still flew out.

Moreover, the speed and location of its flight caught people off guard.

"how come?"

They are obviously all strong players with strong power.

The fourth batter of Qingxue High School is like a bug.

With a baseball bat in hand, he instantly transformed into Thunder City.

Even if you don't hit the center of the ball, it's enough to get the ball out.

“Incredible, incredible!!”

Everyone was amazed.

They couldn't imagine it at all.

But this result actually happened.

"Snapped!"

As the baseball hit the ground, the batter ran directly to second base.

No one out, second base occupied.

Until this moment, the Qingdao friends' anxious hearts finally died down.

Danbo still had problems.

Even if this is not a problem with his own condition, but a problem with his strength.

Everyone felt bad.

They had a vague feeling that the course of this game might be bad.

Immediately afterwards, Qingxue's fifth batter came on the field.

The fifth batter of Seigaku High School is their team's ace, Tezuka.

As soon as he stepped into the batter's box, the atmosphere in the Qingxue dugout was different.

Everyone had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen.

"call!!"

Danbo, on the pitcher's mound, took a deep breath.

He knew very well in his heart that the real challenge had begun.

Previously, as Qingdao's trump card, although he had the unique skill of high-drop curveball, he was still criticized.

That's not because of his skills, but more because of his mentality.

After being relieved of the responsibility of being the ace, his mentality changed.

Although Danbo himself was not very willing to accept such a result.

But it cannot be denied that this is true.

Compared to the ace, he is indeed more suitable to be a substitute.

Now his mentality problem has been solved.

But the problem of his strength was exposed again.

In Seidou's previous games, as long as he was in good shape, there would be no problem with his pitching.

but now.

Even if his pitching condition is not bad, he has no way of guaranteeing that there will be no problems.

"I want to become stronger!!"

Danbo constantly pushed himself and squeezed out the potential in his body.

He took a stance and threw the baseball in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

White baseball is as sharp as ever.

Even Qingdao's own teammates couldn't find any fault with this goal when they saw it.

However, this ball was hit mercilessly.

Tezuka's swing looked ordinary.

However, it was this ordinary swing that ruthlessly pushed the baseball out the moment it hit the baseball.

"Ping!"

White baseball, soaring into the sky.

"Oh my god!!"

The fans in the stands were stunned.

The trajectory of the baseball is so beautiful.

And this ball fell directly into the outfield.

The baseball landed more than seventy meters away from home plate.

And the baseball keeps rolling.

“Got it!!”

The runner is in the scoring circle, even if he did not start early.

As long as this ball lands, he has almost 100% chance of returning to home base.

Because of this.

Even though the final result had not yet come out, the players in the Qingxue rest area couldn't help but celebrate.

Even though they saw that Fūya quickly ran to the front of the baseball and picked up the ball.

They didn't take it seriously.

Their runner on second base was almost reaching third base at this time.

If he accelerated at full speed, it would take him no more than 4 seconds to get from third base to home base.

Baseball is so far away that even if there is no deviation at all, it is only a theoretical possibility of blocking.

"Run!"

"We are the one who scores first!"

In the rest area of ​​the Seigaku High School baseball team, some people have already raised their hands and are shaking their bodies.

The runner who crossed third base ran forward as fast as a little train.

Almost everyone at the scene believed that Qingxue was bound to win this point.

With a runner on second base, a long hit from the outfield can be made as long as the baseball hits the ground and bounces.

Scoring is common sense!

of course.

There are also people who don't believe in evil.

For example, Furuya can predict where a baseball will land and rush to the front to block the ball.

He also knew that time was running out, so he didn't stop for a moment.

He didn't even catch the ball with his glove, but picked it up directly with his right hand.

The moment he picked up the ball, he ran forward two steps.

It was during this process that he also completed the passing action.

"boom!"

A white baseball whizzed out from a straight-line distance of 80 meters.

A huge roar exploded the entire place.

Then people saw that the small white ball turned into a dazzling laser.

The baseball flashed by.

The speed of Qingxue's fourth batter was not slow, but the speed of the baseball was obviously faster.

Even though the distance was three times farther, the baseball still arrived early.

"Snapped!"

As he caught the ball into his glove, Miyuki's face seemed to light up.

"Very good!!"
