Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 361 Scalpel Pitch

Chapter 361 Scalpel Pitch (Two in One)

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

After just one short confrontation, the entire Koshien stadium seemed to have completely become Seidou's home court.

The fans in the stands were extremely excited.

Even the players on their team had big smiles on their faces.

They are not unaware of the crisis hidden in the team.

This is inevitable.

With Furuya's pitching style, he has persisted in Koshien for so long.

There is no problem with physical strength.

Not to mention that other people don't believe it, even Qingdao's most die-hard supporters don't believe it.

But what about him?

As long as their ace can still demonstrate his strength normally on the pitcher's mound.

Their team has an overwhelming advantage.

No matter how the opponent struggles and resists, this advantage will not disappear, but will only grow bigger.

Wait until the end of the game.

Their team's ace may indeed have physical problems.

There is no getting around it.

But so what?
This kind of situation has happened before, and their trump card held up.

Their team also held on.

This happened only at the very end of the game.

Judging from the situation today, can their opponents really hold on until then?

The players and supporters of Seidou High School baseball team obviously didn't believe it.

With the strength of their team, they would have defeated their opponents long before that situation occurred.

"Fight with all your strength and don't give your opponent any chance to breathe."

"Kill them!!!"

The cheers on the field make people's blood boil.

In the second half of the inning, the Seido High School baseball team went on offense.

The first one to step into the batter's box was still their team's speedster.

"First bat, No. 6, shortstop, Kuramochi-san."

The fans in the stands immediately burst into loud noises.

"Come on! Scud-kun!"

"Don't worry, just run forward from the start."

"As long as you can get on base, we win!!"

The teammates in the Qingdao rest area found it incredible to hear the fans cheering like that.

If they were to talk about their team's ace, Furuya, having such a fan base, they could still understand it.

They even feel that the number of fans has decreased.

But the problem is that the person who is now on the field is not Fūtani, but Kuramochi, who is not very famous.

"Is he so famous now?"

The mustache senior asked with a jealous look on his face.

"His previous performance was pretty good, plus he has his own unique characteristics. It's only natural that he has some fame."

Chris explained with a smile.

He actually only said half of what he said.

Kuramochi was indeed somewhat famous, but the audience's huge reaction was not entirely due to his fame.

Also because of this competition.

This is the venue for the Koshien finals, and this alone is enough to explain many problems.

The fans are enthusiastic and their support for the players is unprecedented.

Just saying these words will not help their team at all, but will instead affect the players' confidence.

As smart as Chris is, he certainly wouldn't say these words out loud.

The companions in the rest area all stared with wide eyes, looking forward to Kuramochi's performance.

Based on their understanding of their top player, Kuramochi must be very excited at this time.

He is the kind of person who likes to be in the spotlight.

How could he not be excited in a situation like this?
Once you get excited, the adrenaline rushes.

No one can guess how he will perform on the court.
"Come on, give it your all!!"

Kuramochi's eyes seemed to be shining in the batter's box.

He locked onto his opponent, looking ready to strike at any moment.

The cheers from his teammates, including the fans in the stands, all turned into his strength.

"Come on, it's time for the genius Kuramochi to show his talent."

His eyes were fixed on his opponent.

The ace of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team is a boy with short silver hair and dark skin.

There was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

It gives people the feeling that they are assessing the opponent's strength.

"Why don't you make a move? Are you scared?"

Kuramochi felt the blood in his body rushing continuously.

His determination to hit the ball was stronger than ever.

"Come on!!!!"

His eyes were filled with the desire of a wild animal.

At this critical moment, Kuroda on the pitcher's mound suddenly moved.

Take a step forward and swing your arms!
"so slow!"

When he saw the opponent's pitching speed, Kuramochi realized that he couldn't pitch faster.

Compared to their team's ace, the ace of the troll vine in front of them is like an old ox pulling a broken cart.

The speed of the ball is at most 130 to 140 kilometers.

The members of the Seidou High School baseball team were originally quite strong. After entering Koshien, they faced various strong opponents and they grew to varying degrees.

To be frank, Kuramochi is not as good as their ace.

But his strength is no longer what it used to be.

He was sure to hit the ball away from wherever it landed, with a distance of 130 to 40 kilometers.

Come!
"Whoosh!"

Just as Kuramochi was thinking this, a white baseball whizzed towards him.

The speed of the ball was just as Kuramochi had expected, just over 130 kilometers.

It’s not slow, but it’s definitely not fast either.

Although the pitching position was tricky, Kuramochi obviously did not intend to let it go.

"Don't even think about going there!!"

He held the bat tightly with both hands and struck out decisively the moment the baseball approached.

"Buzz!"

The sound of the bat breaking through the air scared the catcher of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team.

This guy's swing is extraordinary.

It’s not that Kuramochi’s swing is really so strong that it makes people’s scalps numb?

He was just the main catcher of the Troll Otojukumaki High School baseball team. He had never imagined that Kuramochi could swing the bat so fast?
It feels like he can hit the ball away at any time.

Such pressure!
Originally it was only for the fourth and third batters of the team.

However, Kuramochi is not a particularly good hitter in the Seidou High School baseball team.

When the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team was investigating Seidou's information, they even felt that the starting batter of the Seidou High School baseball team did not have strong hitting ability.

The only thing that makes people afraid of him is his speed after he gets on base.

But now it seems that their previous thinking was obviously wrong.

As the current top seed in the country, Seidou has a very good chance of winning the championship.

Even the unremarkable players in their team have very formidable strength.

Just when the main catcher of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team was secretly shocked.

The bat hit the baseball firmly.

"Ping!"

Then people saw the white baseball flying toward the back of the field.

"Hit!"

The fans in the stands, including Kuramochi himself, were somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, the first batter of their team shot directly without even waiting for a ball.

When the fans saw this scene, although they did not say anything, they were already extremely nervous inside.

Okay ah?

They asked themselves over and over again.

Judging from the final result, it is of course good.

The baseball was hit and flew out! They also began to recognize the strength of their first batter from the bottom of their hearts.

He doesn't just run.

The sense of oppression he exerts on the court is real.

He can force his opponent and also use his strength to knock the ball away.

"Go through it?"

The fans were watching the ball, and they were looking forward to the scene of the ball flying out.

However, everyone is destined to be disappointed.

Although Kuramochi played beautifully, he unfortunately lacked a bit of luck.

As a result, the ball did not follow the route they had imagined.

Instead, it flew directly onto the head of the outfielder of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team.

The Troll Otojumaki High School baseball team was a dark horse that made it to the Koshien finals.

If they can't stop the ball that's sent to their heads, they'll be finished.

The outfielder jumped and caught the ball steadily.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

In the rest area of the Seidou High School baseball team, the players looked regretful.

"What a pity, I had a bit of bad luck!"

If the ball just now landed successfully.

Kuramochi had to at least get to second base, and possibly even third base.

If that were the case, it would be a sure thing for them to successfully take the first point.

Unfortunately, this is destined to be just everyone's imagination.

The baseball was caught and the great opportunity was gone.

"do not mind!"

“We still have a chance…”

The contestants comforted Kuramochi who had returned, and cheered for Ryosuke Kominato who was about to take the stage.

Although they wasted a good offensive opportunity.

But through the confrontation just now, everyone can more or less see that their opponents are not as strong as they imagined.

Especially the opponent's number one trump card.

The pitching speed is just over 130 kilometers per hour!
Even Kuramochi could easily hit the ball away.

Although he failed to get a hit in the end.

But the process of the confrontation between the two sides gave the players great confidence.

No matter how the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team performed in previous games?

Just based on the strength he is showing now.

It was not difficult for his teammates on the Seidou High School baseball team to hit his pitch away.

They have the opportunity and the ability to do this.

Even the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team changes pitchers at an astonishing speed!
The teammates on the Seidou High School baseball team are also confident that they can get a hit before the opposing team changes pitchers.

Even get points.

"It's a rare opportunity, so make the most of it."

"Once you find the right opportunity, strike decisively!!"

Although the friends were unable to play, they all cheered for the batters on their own field in their own ways.

The warehouse that just closed the market is not as optimistic as other partners.

Although he almost got a hit when he hit just now.

But Kuramochi always felt that something was wrong.

He struck so smoothly!
It looked like he did it in one go and hit the ball easily.

"Could it be?"

Thinking of a possibility, Kuramochi's pupils dilated instantly.

He looked at the strike zone in surprise.

"Senior Ryosuke, you must be careful!!"

Ryosuke Kominato in the batter's box also felt that the opponent's pitch was nothing big.

As long as he shoots, there is a high probability that he can hit the ball.

But he felt very strange?
What surprised him was not the opponent's ace's pitch.

It’s the attitude of the other team’s ace and the attitude of the players on their team.

Although they had just dealt with Kuramochi before.

But from an outsider's perspective, the solution process was not smooth.

It can even be said to be full of danger.

Faced with such a situation, shouldn't the opponent be feeling a lingering fear?
But the problem is that the other party didn't.

Not only did he not show any lingering fear, he even looked very calm.

Not only the opposing pitcher, but even the players on their own team performed very poorly.

It feels like it was designed in advance.

“Is this really a trap?”

Ryosuke Kominato was half-believing and half-doubting.

He decided to verify it himself.

When the baseball came, he shot immediately.

"Buzz!"

Even if you are not tall.

Ryosuke Kominato swung the bat and hit it with great force.

The main catcher of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team looked gloomy after seeing this scene.

So strong! ! !

Although he shouldn't praise his opponent like that?

But because of his position, he can see the performance of every player on the Qingdao High School baseball team clearly.

It is precisely for this reason.

He knew very well what everything that was happening before his eyes meant.
Every main player of the Qingdao High School baseball team is very good at batting.

Not to mention their core third and fourth bats.

No wonder they were the No. 1 seed, defeating last year’s national champion.

Think of this.

The main catcher of the troll Otojuan High School baseball team suddenly grinned.

If the opponent is strong enough, that would be great!

If the opponent is not strong enough, they will not be able to help but worry about Kuroda.

The ace of their team now has a magical feature.

But the stronger you are, the stronger you become.

The stronger the hitter he faces, the better his performance tends to be.

On the contrary, if the batter you encounter is of average strength.

The characteristics of Kuroda's pitching could not be brought into play.

Thinking of this, the main catcher of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team looked at his own rest area with a sense of loss.
