Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 345: The Boy Destined to Go Down in History (Two in One)

"Snapped!"

The moment the white baseball flew into Miyuki's glove.

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

Especially the players from Qingxue High School, their eyes were almost popping out.

"how is this possible?"

They are very familiar with the baseball field.

How far was the place where Furuya was standing just now from home base?
They can also roughly judge it.

"Definitely, definitely more than eighty meters!"

“How could he possibly penetrate the ball in that position?”

"And it's so accurate!..."

Lost in millimeters, a thousand miles.

The longer the distance of the pass, the more serious this problem becomes.

In an 80-meter super long pass, even a small mistake in the middle will result in an error of 7 or 8 meters.

At least five or six meters.

But just now, this pass.

There is no such thing as bias.

Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, didn't move at all.

He just squatted there and caught the ball steadily?
All of this seemed to be planned in advance.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that the players of Qingxue High School baseball team were beaten to death.

"Like a precision-guided missile!"

These are the words of the narrator.

But everyone present highly recognized this evaluation.

From their perspective, they also felt that the shot was frighteningly accurate.

"It's incredible!"

"Even though he wasn't on the pitcher's mound, he shocked everyone at the scene with his performance."

The commentator's words were transmitted to millions of viewers through television.

The Koshien competitions were originally broadcast live in their entirety.

Not to mention the semi-finals of Koshien.

I wonder how many baseball fans are sitting in front of their TVs watching this game right now.

Fūya's popularity was already high.

He has become synonymous with the monster rookie of Koshien.

In the history of Koshien, has there never been such a terrifying first-year rookie?

Originally, many fans had predicted that Fūya would not take the pitcher's mound in today's game.

This is just like the third round game of Seidou High School baseball team.

But they obviously didn't expect that even under such circumstances, Fūya still shocked everyone!

He is no longer the brightest star.

In the entire night sky, he is the bright moon.

In the rest area of ​​the Qingxue High School baseball team, a group of players were also dumbfounded.

Being able to keep going all the way and reach the semi-finals of Koshien.

They are undoubtedly geniuses among geniuses.

But their talents, compared to their opponents, seem to be far behind.

"hateful!!"

"We absolutely cannot let this go..."

Everyone on the Seigaku High School baseball team stared at their runner intently.

Although the catcher of Qingdao caught the baseball one step ahead.

But their teammates had already arrived by then.

A lightning-fast showdown.

Their teammates may not necessarily lose either.

This is trust, almost blind trust.

Even in this situation, the players of Qingxue High School baseball team still firmly believe that their teammates will make a difference.

In fact, the runner from Qingxue did take action.

He did not give up scoring just because the baseball arrived early.

Instead, he ran faster.

When he was two or three meters away from home base, he even fell down.

"Snapped!"

Kazuya Miyuki's glove hit the player's shoulder.

Although the runner from Qingxue successfully reached first base and touched the base with his hand.

But he was still out.

He was a step slow!
"Out!"

As the commentator finished his words, the players of the Qingxue High School baseball team finally felt relieved.

One out and one on first base.

Although they failed to stop the batter from reaching base, they successfully got the first out.

This is also crucial for the current Seidou High School baseball team.

Especially for pitchers.

After taking a deep breath, Danbo regained his composure.

He continued to deliver steadily in the following pitching process.

Two outs were quickly taken.

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

Just like that, the game came to the top of the third inning, and the Seidou High School baseball team was on the attack.

Although the batters on the field were lower-ranked, everyone's fighting spirit was still very high.

"come on!"

"Hit the ball out."

For them, the team's successful defense gave the players enough confidence.

The coach of the Qingxue High School baseball team had a look of deep regret in his eyes.

The bottom of the second inning was undoubtedly a very good offensive opportunity for them.

This third-year starting pitcher of the Seidou High School baseball team is not unbeatable.

Moreover, his own mentality still has some minor flaws.

If the Qingxue High School baseball team had scored points from him in one go during the offensive process just now.

Then maybe they can completely defeat this guy.

In this way, they can not only score a few more points, but also completely disrupt the rhythm of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

But it doesn’t work now!

Their strongest attack point has passed, and the opponent will only pitch in the third inning.

The next pitcher to come on the field, if nothing unexpected happens, should be their other first-year pitcher.

In addition to their extremely reliable ace, the Seidou High School baseball team also has another system.

That's their pitching rotation.

Now their pitching wheels have officially started to move.

"The situation is not good!"

The coach of the Qingxue High School baseball team turned his attention back to the game.

He knew it very well.

What is the most important thing for them at this time?
"Play steadily and never let the opponent score any points!"

On the pitcher's mound, the pitcher named Tezuka had a sharp look in his eyes, and a murderous aura was looming.

The baseball thrown from his hands also became different.

How sharp are the guys in the Qingdao rest area?
As soon as this matter showed signs of happening, they noticed it.

"Something seems wrong!"

"How to say?"

“That guy’s pitching seems to have changed.”

"how is this possible?"

At the beginning, the friends in the Qingdao baseball team found it hard to believe this.

They may not know their opponents very well, but they have enough confidence in themselves.

It is almost an impossible task for their opponents to retain their strength during the game.

You know, they defeated last year's national champion.

It would be fine if the other party didn't have that intention.

If the other party really has such intention, then they won’t even know how they died?

Therefore, a group of friends firmly believed that the other party must have already put in all their efforts.

It is impossible for them to still hold back. In the few games that the Qingdao High School baseball team played in Koshien, some of the opponents they defeated had suffered losses in this regard.

In this situation, how could anyone continue to jump into the fire pit?

None of this makes sense.

However, just when the friends were half-believing and half-doubting, reality slapped them hard in the face.

There seemed to be some mystery about the ball thrown by the pitcher named Tezuka.

Even if the batters hit the ball, baseball will not act according to their wishes.

The opponent can always easily block the ball and knock the batter out.

The 8th and th batons.

In the end, even Kuramochi, the first inning player, was eliminated inexplicably.

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

The pace of the game was frighteningly fast. Although the game had just started, it had already reached the bottom of the third inning.

The Seigaku High School baseball team is on offense.

Before the players went on the field to defend, a group of friends gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures.

No matter how decisive and confident the answers given by my friends before were.

At this point, they themselves have to admit it.

There is indeed something mysterious about the opponent's pitching.

Ask Hakushu, ask Tamba.

No one got the answer they wanted.

Although the striking power of these two guys is not bad, otherwise they would not be able to serve as Qingdao's main force.

But they just couldn't see the mystery.

On the contrary, Kuramochi, who seemed cynical, was in a dilemma.

He noticed something unusual.

"Tell me what you saw?"

The friends on the Seidou High School baseball team are very clear about Kuramochi's character.

His sudden silence made everyone realize that this guy must have seen something.

"I'm not sure!"

Kuramochi himself had some concerns.

He saw half of it, and guessed the other half.

Kuramochi is not afraid to tell everyone.

He was mainly afraid that what he observed and judged were not accurate.

This was a careless act, and led all my friends astray.

How to play the next game?
"Speak boldly! Anyway, your friends won't really take your words as the golden rule."

What Yukichi said was true.

Although the members of the Seidou High School baseball team trust their teammates, they also have their own judgments about the game.

Of course, they would not completely believe Kuramochi just because of a few words he said.

"I feel like there's something wrong with the spin on that ball."

Three people were out in a row, and the pitching didn't seem to be anything special.

The other members of the Qingdao High School baseball team had already made some guesses in their minds.

What Kuramochi said only proved their inner guess once again.

"It's probably a bit like a knuckle ball, where the baseball has almost no spin. So the trajectory of the baseball is different from what we normally expect."

Every member of the Qingdao High School baseball team has gone through rigorous batting training.

This has almost become their instinct.

It is very likely that the opponent is taking advantage of their instinct and doing the opposite.

"Reduce the spin of the baseball. The angle of the baseball should be lower. After all, the centrifugal force is not that strong!"

"Next, raise the bat a little bit, no, lower it a little bit."

"Maybe I can hit the ball out!"

The friends on the Qingdao High School baseball team are all smart people who can understand things quickly.

After realizing this, they no longer worried about it, but instead prepared for defense wholeheartedly.

Tamba Koichiro is in extremely good shape.

After experiencing the danger in the second round, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

The baseball thrown from his hand was extremely sharp.

The lower batters of Qingxue High School were helpless in the face of such pitching.

Despite their best efforts, they ultimately failed to get a hit.

Not to mention scoring.

"Three out, exchange offense and defense!"

With the third out, Danbo successfully completed his task.

The third-year ace of Qingdao let out a long roar to the sky and shouted wildly the moment he completed his mission.

"what!!!"

Although he had not yet fulfilled the agreement he made with his former companions.

He did not become the ace of Qingdao High School and could only serve as a substitute.

But he has already stood on the stage of Koshien.

And this is not the preliminary stage of Koshien, but the semi-finals of Koshien.

The level here is so high that it is almost comparable to that of a professional.

It was in such a game that he pitched three consecutive innings.

Not a single point lost!

"Manaka! I wonder if this can be considered as fulfilling my promise to you?"

Manaka is the ace of the Ichidaiji school and a childhood friend of Tamba.

After Shinaka lost the game, he went to look for Tamba on purpose.

"Koichiro, don't lose!"

It was at that time that Tamba Koichiro made a solemn promise to his childhood friend.

He will never lose!

A more accurate statement would be that their team will definitely not lose.

This is true.

He performed extremely well.

And so the game came to the fourth inning, the top half.

The score on the court is still 0:0.

No one is out and no one is on base.

The first person to step into the batter's box representing Seidou was their team's second batter, Ryosuke Kominato.

During the last round of the match, the opponent successfully tricked Ryosuke Kominato, which helped their team to recover from the disadvantage.

Now the two sides face off again.

The players of Qingxue High School baseball team were determined to win.

It felt like they defeated their opponent easily.

"I really was underestimated."

Ryosuke Kominato was smiling.

Although he was defeated cleanly in the last confrontation between the two.

But this did not discourage Ryosuke Kominato at all.

When Tezuka pitched the ball, he swung the bat cleanly.

"Ping!"

After the baseball was hit, it flew into the gap between the defenders.

The players of Qingxue High School baseball team tried their best to stop the ball.

But by the time they ran over, the baseball had already bounced off the ground.

"Wear it, wear it!!"

The white baseball flew past and Ryosuke Kominato successfully reached base.

"No one out, man on first base."

This was already enough to frustrate the players of Seigaku.

But what happened next made them even more stunned and at a loss.

"Third batter, number 3, outfielder, Furuya-san!"

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

At this moment, an explosion occurred in the stands, leaving everyone stunned.

Fujio, a senior reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, even expressed such sentiments.

"Furuya-san is destined to go down in baseball history."
