Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 366 Colorful Change Ball Pitcher! (Two in One)

The entire Koshien stands were silent at first.

It took quite a while.

Thunderous applause broke out.

Then I heard the fans in the stands starting to shout "Come on!" at the top of their lungs!

They called out the names of Furuya and Aoyama.

Just like a loyal believer in the world.

What are fans?

Regardless of whether you knew about it before or not, you can basically get a pretty good idea of ​​it by looking at the current state of the Koshien stands.

“So handsome!!”

"As expected of you, Demon King!!"

"It's just a small troll, and you still think you can really turn the world upside down?"

Put yourself in those fans' shoes.

They seemed to be 100% sure that the champion Qingdao High School baseball team was so powerful that it could not be violated.

Even if their opponent is a super dark horse that doesn't seem easy to deal with.

The final result of the game will not change.

"We will definitely win!"

“We will definitely be the champions!!!”

The commentator of today's game had a premonition in his mind before he started commenting on the game.

The performance of the players of Seidou High School baseball team may be very crazy.

He must restrain himself.

Although he himself is also a die-hard supporter of Seidou High School baseball team.

But as a professional game commentator, he must be impartial.

He must not help either side.

He must be objective and fair!

This is the professional quality that he should possess as a professional commentator.

He really thought well.

However, when I actually got to the stadium, I witnessed the performance of the Qingdao players with my own eyes.

Especially the first-year monster ace, nicknamed the Demon King.

The commentator felt his heart surging.

If he didn't say something, he felt like he might explode.

"Maybe I shouldn't say it so directly..."

The first sentence the commentator said gave people the feeling that he was laying the groundwork.

If nothing unexpected happens, then what he says next is the key point.

It was only because this point was so shocking that he said it in a moderate way.

Just like everyone thought.

As soon as the narrator began to speak, his position was clear.

"This is the most amazing game, the most touching scene, the best fans I have ever seen..."

On the surface, that sounds fine.

But now is the time for the Qingdao High School baseball team to show its power.

Especially Jiang Guxiao.

He has now become the focus of the spotlight.

Who was the commentator talking to when he said this?
it goes without saying.

Everyone knows it.

It's just that they didn't say it out loud.

At this time, even the balance of victory has begun to tilt towards Qingdao.

How sensitive are the guys on the Seidou High School baseball team?

They have gone through so many hard battles and have a very clear grasp of the current situation.

Although the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team have not given up yet.

They are probably still waiting for the opportunity to turn the tables.

However, even so, the situation on the field has changed now.

Their team has an overwhelming advantage.

Although they are not leading now, almost everyone thinks that they are sure to win the game.

This is the general trend!
It is estimated that even their opponents have begun to waver in their hearts at this moment.

"Seize this opportunity and do it in one go!!"

How rich is the competition experience of the friends on the Seidou High School baseball team?

They understood very well how rare this scene was.

Once they miss it, they may not be sure when they will find such an opportunity again.

"Take advantage of his illness to kill him!"

The game entered the bottom of the fourth inning and the Seidou High School baseball team was on the attack.

The first person to step into the batter's box was the first batter of the Seidou High School baseball team.

The Troll Otomaki High School baseball team, like their Qingdao friends, changed their team's pitcher.

Everyone was shocked.

The actions of the Troll Datongjuan High School baseball team have fully explained what they want to do.

"What an interesting opponent!!"

Kuramochi's wild eyes were fixed firmly on the new pitcher.

The pitcher's name was Ishii.

He is a changeup pitcher.

Kuramochi was like a beast hunting its prey. He kept reminding himself to restrain the urge to pounce and bite.

"Don't worry, the opponent is very slow. Just wait patiently and the opportunity will come!"

When the Seidou High School baseball team was investigating the information of the Troll Otojuku High School baseball team, they paid special attention to the opposing players.

Especially the pitchers who often play.

Kuroda, Ishii...

All of them were included in their previous investigations.

To be honest, Kuroda, the ace of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team, is quite capable.

It can be said that the players from the Seidou High School baseball team did not gain any advantage in the match against him.

The other party's level is so high?
Although he is not the strongest one that the members of the Seidou High School baseball team have ever encountered.

But it is definitely among the top few.

From this point, it can be seen that the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team have made it all the way to where they are today, and it is definitely not luck that has helped them get to where they are today.

They have the real stuff!
It's not just Kuroda, the same goes for the opponent they are facing now.

The guy in front of him also exudes a very dangerous aura.

It felt like he was going to pounce on you at the next moment.

"call!!"

This doesn't feel right!

Kuramochi clutched the bat tightly in his hand.

When they were observing the opponent's information before, they clearly felt that the pitcher named Ishii was not the aggressive type.

He mainly uses changeup balls!
But now, Kuramochi felt a strange feeling.

He felt that the guy standing in front of him was also a beast.

Like, someone who can throw a fastball?

"How can this be?"

Even if a person could disguise his pitching style, he wouldn't be able to do it to that extent?
You know, this is the stage of Koshien.

Even their teammates on the Seidou High School baseball team have to give their all in order to survive.

"Stop lying, I don't believe in evil."

Just when Kuramochi was determined in his mind, the man on the pitcher's mound suddenly moved.

Unlike Kuroda, the precise scalpel.

When Ishii pitches, it feels like he is dancing.

The members of the Seidou High School baseball team had actually discovered this problem with their opponents before the match.

But at that time, no one took this issue too seriously.

They even thought at one point that it might just be their own illusion.

Now it seems that they were wrong.

This guy is not like!

He gave people the feeling that he was dancing.

With a graceful figure, the baseball is thrown out as the arm swings.

"Whoosh!" A white baseball flew out.

Every cell in Kuramochi's body relaxed.

It turned out that his feeling of being stared at by a wild beast was just an illusion.

The opponent's ball was not fast.

It's not even just slow, it's actually very slow.

The white baseball swayed and came in front of Kuramochi.

Kuramochi even had a vague feeling.

As long as he wants, as long as he swings the bat in his hand.

He should be able to hit this ball away!
But considering the opponent's record in Koshien.

Considering that the opponent is the second pitcher to come on the field for the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team.

Kuramochi stopped his impulse.

"Don't be in a hurry, observe the ball first!"

He decided to wait patiently until the second ball.

Then Kuramochi saw that the ball suddenly fell before entering the strike zone.

Although the baseball does not fly very fast, it falls very fast.

The feeling of falling instantly!
When Kuramochi saw this scene, he felt the hairs on his body stand up.

What if he had just taken action?
There is a high probability that he will not be able to touch the ball, and even if he barely touches it, it will just be a ground ball.

"It's a fork ball with such a big drop?"

Kuramochi stared at the pitcher's mound in disbelief.

At the same time, he seemed to recall lightning and thunder in his mind.

The opponent this time is so terrifying!

It's so scary that it makes people shudder, so scary that people don't know how to deal with it?

In the dugout of the Seido High School baseball team.

Even friends are far away from that position.

They still saw the gap in baseball with their naked eyes.

"how come?"

The friends on the Qingdao High School baseball team were also shocked.

This doesn't mean that they are helpless against this pitcher named Ishii?

As the top offensive team in the country, it can even be said to be the strongest offensive team in the country.

The players of Seidou High School baseball team are very confident in their own strength.

According to normal logic, no matter what kind of difficulties we encounter, no matter how tough the opponent is, our friends will not back down.

In other words, no matter who their opponent is, they are confident that they can defeat him.

But here's the thing.

The opponents of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team are a little different.

It’s not that the opponent is so strong, but mainly because these guys stayed on the court for too short a time.

They pitched just three innings total.

This means that the players of Seidou High School baseball team must hit the ball within these three innings.

Once their opponents have some skills, time will pass.

They also missed the opportunity to attack.

The guys on the Seidou High School baseball team used this tactic very well against others.

They had a great time playing.

Now it is a cycle of cause and effect...

"How to do?"

"We have to find a way anyway. Otherwise, today's game is bound to become very troublesome."

Despite the current situation, the fans in the stands are still cheering for Qingdao crazily.

It feels like they still firmly hold the initiative in the game.

But the friends of Qingdao High School baseball team have a clear idea in their hearts.

Although on the surface, their situation is not bad.

It can even be said that they firmly hold the initiative.

But the real situation is obviously not that optimistic.

It is true that they have the advantage, but their opponents have not completely collapsed either.

As long as they can continue this pitching strategy, they can keep dragging the game on.

The game will definitely change.

To give the simplest example, it is impossible for their team's ace, Furutani, to always pitch at super-light speed.

You don’t even have to wait for the extra round.

This will change.

The guys on the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team have obviously realized this clearly.

And they have already begun preparations and are about to take action.

"We can't delay this any longer!"

Kuramochi in the batter's box is deeply aware of how heavy the burden on his shoulders is?
He also knew very well what he should do at this moment.
"Hit it out. Hit the ball out no matter what!"

His eyes were fixed firmly on his opponent.

He will definitely ignore it when the opponent throws the ball next time.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball came flying very fast.

It can be seen that this pitcher named Ishii has an excellent pitching rhythm.

Even though his pitching speed is average.

But because he pitches in good rhythm, it gives the impression that he is also throwing a few points faster.

The players in the rest area of ​​the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team were all watching eagerly.

They were also very nervous inside.

Although the players on their team have all done targeted training.

However, this kind of round-robin battle still has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Especially during the handover.

Once there is a problem with the handover, their team will be in trouble.

Judging from the current situation, Ishii-san has done a good job in the handover.

Coach Nitta put his hands on his waist, and he was not calm inside.

Although several pitchers on their team were trained by him personally.

Overall, the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team had good luck.

They encountered a lot of good seedlings.

The combination of good talent and the training methods of professional teams has led to their current achievements.

It is no exaggeration to say that Director Nitta is very proud.

He was proud of his disciples.

Especially Ishii.

This contestant comes from a dancing family and originally wanted to be a dancer.

Later, due to an injury, he was destined to never be able to show his style on stage for the rest of his life.

He came to the baseball club.

At that time, everyone thought that Ishii would not be able to survive in the highly competitive baseball club.

The boy looks too delicate and doesn't look strong.

In a sport like baseball, strength is a very important factor.

He is not outstanding in this area and is destined to have little chance to stand out.

However, no one expected it.

It is such a little guy who looks harmless but excels on the pitcher's mound.

I don’t know if it’s because his body is so soft or because he has good control over his body.

In short, he can handle all the changing balls with ease.

This is almost unheard of among pitchers.

But he did it, and he did it outstandingly.

So far, he has mastered more than ten kinds of changeups.

Although his overall pitching level is still not among the best in the country.

But if it is limited to three games.

Then he is even more terrifying than any other pitcher in the country!
Including Akatsuki Fōgaya.

"Let's meet our team's colorful changeup pitcher..."
