Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 348: The Invisible Pitch (Two in One)

The players of Qingxue High School baseball team were completely furious.

They obviously couldn't accept the blasphemy against their ace from the fans in the stands.

In the minds of the Qingxue players, their ace is invincible.

He will never fall down easily.

"team leader!!"

Under the gaze of everyone in Aogaku, Tezuka straightened his chest once again.

Although he had a blank expression on his face, his glasses obscured the brilliance in his eyes.

But everyone still felt the surging aura emanating from this man.

The teammates in the Qingdao rest area noticed this at the first time.

"The opponent hasn't given up yet..."

"This is the semi-finals after all. Which of the opponents who have been able to fight with us until now is not cheating?"

"Not only in terms of strength, they are also first-class in other aspects."

The partners of Qingdao have to admit this.

"What? It's like we won't be able to score any points. You know, our team's offensive power is not created by the first-year students!"

Senior Jun Isashiki, who has a mustache, serves as the fifth batter of their team.

I am very dissatisfied with my partners' attitude.

Although Seidou had failed to enter Koshien for several consecutive years and was in its lowest period.

But their current team is completely different.

The friends have overcome many difficulties and finally reached this point.

They beat super dark horses, national giants, and even last year's national champions.

Unknowingly, their team has been transformed.

As a third-year player of the team, he is also the true main force and core of their team.

They now have the confidence to challenge all enemies.

They firmly believe that no matter who the opponent is?

In the end, they will definitely be the ones who win the game.

With this firm belief, the mustache-wearing senior seemed to glow.

The friends from Qingdao were quickly aroused.

From their own perspective, they also felt from the bottom of their hearts that what the third-year senior on their team said made a lot of sense.

The bragging is never just for show.

Their grades are the same.

Now that they have overcome all the difficulties and dangers, how can they be cowardly in the face of the opponent before them?
"Fight it out!"

"We believe in you, Jun-senpai."

A group of contestants were very excited.

It felt like they couldn't wait to get on the court.

To replace the players on the field.

Of course, Senior with a mustache will not give everyone such an opportunity.

Not only does he inspire others, he also thinks so himself.

He wants to hit the ball!
He must prove himself on the field, for himself, for these third-year players, and even for the entire Qingdao team.

They can be even stronger.

No matter who their opponent is?

They are both able to use a devastating approach to completely defeat the opponent.

"Come on! Throw it over to me!!"

The ace of Qingxue on the pitcher's mound acted completely unconcerned in the face of the opponent's crazy provocation.

He is undoubtedly a very qualified cold-faced ace.

No one could tell from his face whether his emotions were fluctuating or not.

Not to mention guessing where he'll throw the ball?

Tezuka suddenly took action.

He raised his leg and took a step forward, and the baseball flew out of his hand.

The whole movement is done in one go.

Senior with a mustache, you are not just here to eat and do nothing.

Seeing the baseball flying towards him, he took action decisively.

"Well done!!"

As he was already very active in swinging the bat, there was no way he would miss this opportunity to hit.

"Buzz!"

With a low swinging sound, the bat hit the baseball.

"Ping!"

Then people saw the baseball flying high.

The players and supporters of Qingdao had a flash of joy in their eyes.

Hit!
Although I don’t know what the final result will be?

But the senior with the mustache was able to touch the ball and hit it beautifully.

This in itself shows that Qingdao has become more and more accustomed to the opponent's trump card.

They have every chance to win the game.

The kind that can crush anything with ease.

However, just when this thought came to everyone's mind, an accident happened without warning.

In the wild area, a player rushed over and caught the ball steadily at the moment when the baseball was about to hit the ground.

"Snapped!"

"Out!!"

Although the contestant fell because he ran too fast.

But the white baseball was always firmly held in his glove.

At this time he was even more direct and raised his gloves.

Yuki on the base was stopped before he could even move.

It’s still the player who caught the ball.

Not only did he stand up quickly, he also aimed at Yuki immediately.

Seeing this result, the players and supporters of Qingxue High School baseball team almost went crazy.

The players of the Qingxue High School baseball team, who had just lost two points, were undoubtedly under tremendous pressure.

The score alone is already very big, and if they don't handle it properly, they may continue to lose points.

In a baseball game, the probability of this happening is frighteningly high.

Now it seems that the worst outcome will not happen.

The players and supporters of Qingxue all turned their attention to the savior.

That contestant is very small and seems to be different from the other contestants.

"little guy!!"

"You are really awesome!!"

"He is indeed the strongest newcomer on our team!!"

Others may not know so much about this smaller player.

But Qingxue High School itself knows this player inside and out.

The player's name is Echizen, and he is a freshman on the Seigaku High School baseball team.

Even though he is a freshman, this player's strength should not be underestimated.

He ranks third in the entire Qingxue strength ranking.

Extremely powerful!

Especially on the playing field, the young man is able to perform all kinds of amazing moves.

Just like now, he made a flying save and completely changed the situation on the court.

It was not until this time that the players and supporters of the Qingxue High School baseball team felt the fairness of God.

Although there are no such strong first-year monsters in their team.

But the first-year players on their team are definitely not bad.

Just like now, didn't their first-year junior save their entire team?
The game continues and the Qingxue High School baseball team continues to get their outs.

Soon, three people were eliminated!

The two sides exchanged offense and defense.

In the rest area of ​​the Seidou High School baseball team.

Baseball captain Ohta obviously finds it hard to accept the current result.

His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about some countermeasures.

After a long pause, he finally spoke.

"What a pity!"

When Qingdao’s friends heard these four words, their faces changed.

Seeing their minister's thoughtful look just now, many friends naively thought that their minister must have thought of some strategy?
Just when everyone was ready to listen attentively, no one expected that their minister would say such a thing?

Does their minister need to analyze this?

Who doesn't know this scene is a pity.

If they can get another point or two, they can extend the score to more than three points.

Although the game has just started at this point, the players can basically guarantee victory.

It's better now.

Just because of that little difference, the Qingxue High School baseball team found a chance to survive.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Qingxue High School baseball team attacked.

The batters took their turn as core hitters.

The batters of Qingxue are rubbing their hands in readiness, and they seem to be unable to wait.

In the rest area of ​​Qingdao.

Director Kataoka, who is usually very decisive, was in a dilemma at this time.

To be honest, Danbo's performance just now was not bad.

First of all, as one of the top four teams in Koshien, the strength of Seigaku High School baseball team should not be underestimated.

Coach Kataoka, watching from the sidelines, could feel the pressure brought by this team.

Danbo inevitably encountered some challenges during his pitching.

Yet he persevered.

From the perspective of Director Kataoka, such performance by Tamba will undoubtedly touch him more easily.

To the point that at this point, Director Kataoka even wondered whether he should give Tamba some more chances?
Let him keep casting!
Although they had already decided on the pitching strategy for the rotation game.

However, it is not impossible to make some temporary adjustments based on this strategy.

For example, now, the starting pitchers are performing extremely well, but can their relief pitchers maintain this level after they take the field?
But it is an unknown number that no one knows.

In this case, is it necessary to replace someone?

Director Kataoka has no way of caring what others think.

After his own inner struggle, Director Kataoka apparently felt that there was no need for them to do so.

Although Danbo's performance so far has made him very satisfied.

He especially admires those players who can overcome difficulties and move forward courageously despite setbacks.

In the confrontation just now, Tamba Koichiro highlighted this point.

But Director Kataoka rejected this temptation.

Even if this temptation is terrifyingly big.

He didn't intend to do so.

"Sawamura!"

After hearing the order from his coach, first-year player Sawamura could no longer wait.

He was the first to stand up and respectfully shouted to Supervisor Kataoka, Boss!

When the other kids on the Seidou High School baseball team heard Sawamura shout this, their eyes widened.

You should know that in their team, Coach Kataoka has objected more than once to the nickname given to him by Sawamura.

Kataoka even taught Sawamura a lesson several times for this matter.

But Sawamura is just like this and he won't change no matter what.

As long as he gets the chance, he will definitely shout out these two words.

The friends on the Qingdao High School baseball team are all the kind of people who like to watch the fun and make trouble.

When they heard Sawamura Eijun's reckless call to their own supervisor again.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked forward to it.

They couldn't wait to see their coach teach Sawamura a lesson.

However, the beautiful picture in their minds was not presented to everyone in the end.

Although Director Kataoka had raised objections more than once before.

But this time he was different.

He did not object as vehemently as before.

He seemed to have accepted Sawamura's address to him.

When the friends from Qingdao High School baseball team saw this scene, their faces were naturally filled with disbelief.

You know, based on their understanding of their own supervisor, their supervisor has always been the kind of person who would rather break than bend.

No matter how much pressure there is, their supervisor can handle it.

However, he is such a strange man.

After being called by Sawamura repeatedly, he seemed to accept the result silently.

When Ozawamura saw that his supervisor did not object to the title, he was stunned for a moment, and then he looked ecstatic.

Obviously, Sawamura Eijun also knows what the coach's performance means.
First of all, when he refers to them as his own supervisor in the future, he can directly use this exclusive title.

Secondly, this is also a recognition of his ability by his family's supervisor.

From this moment on, he, Ozawamura, was no longer the same.

With such emotions, Ozawamura was full of confidence when he stood on the pitcher's mound.

The players of the Seigaku High School baseball team saw their opponents perform like this.

The players of the Qingxue High School baseball team felt confused but also had hope.

They couldn't figure out what was going on with this first-year pitcher on the Seidou High School baseball team.

Why after coming on stage, he acted so stupidly as if he looked down on everyone!

It seems like they don’t take the players of the Qingxue High School baseball team seriously!
The players of the Qingxue High School baseball team naturally have emotions as well.

They are also very unhappy inside!
But while the players of the Qingxue High School baseball team were unhappy, they also clearly realized that if their opponents really performed like this.

That might not be a bad thing for them.

If Sawamura really had only this level and this kind of temperament, then they could have taken advantage of Sawamura's carelessness and given the first-year pitcher of the Seidou High School baseball team a head-on blow.

The other party obviously doesn't know who his opponent is?

This is of vital importance.

The other players of Seidou High School baseball team have already played against the players of Seigaku High School baseball team.

They hope that these guys will be careless, reveal their flaws, and give the Qingxue High School baseball team an opportunity.

That's totally unrealistic!
On the contrary, it was someone like Sawamura Eijun, because he had been watching from the side, maybe he didn't realize the strength of the Seigaku High School baseball team at all?

opportunity!

This is a very rare opportunity!

Not only the players in the dugout of the Qingxue High School baseball team, but even the batters standing in the batter's box had this thought.

He watched Sawamura Eijun get ready to pitch.

He also raised the bat in his hand high.

He thought to himself that as long as the white baseball flew over and was within his hitting range, he didn't want to wait any longer.

As soon as the baseball came, he took action decisively!

It was at this moment that the baseball whizzed out.

The batter of the Qingxue High School baseball team suddenly widened his eyes.

Then he saw the white baseball disappear before his eyes.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"
