Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 369: A Little Attack Is Already the Limit (Two in One)

"A one hundred kilometer difference in ball speed!!!"

Akira Fōtani only threw a changeup, and the fans in the stands were like a pot of boiling water.

This made Ozawamura in the Qingdao rest area feel very uncomfortable.

"Is there any need to make such a fuss? It's just a lazy changeup. I can throw it, too."

Hearing his words, many friends couldn't help but shake their heads.

"You don't understand anything at all!"

The teammates on the Seidou High School baseball team also admitted that Sawamura has made a lot of progress recently.

If they didn't have an even more terrifying player named Furuya in their team...

Sawamura even has the opportunity to compete for the position of the team's ace.

Even though he had no real baseball experience before, it didn't matter at all.

The boy's baseball talent is so strong and unreasonable.

"What don't I understand?"

Sawamura said unconvinced.

"Think carefully, what is the difference between these two balls?"

"Is the speed difference of the ball particularly large?"

Sawamura felt that his friends were simply insulting his intelligence.

What's so interesting about this question?

"That's right. The speed difference between these two balls is very large. But this is obviously not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you have to put yourself in the role of a hitter. If you were a hitter, how would you deal with it?"

what?
Sawamura felt as if his brain suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He immediately understood what his companions meant.

"You mean?"

When his friends heard that Sawamura had the answer himself, they were very excited.

They stared at the boy eagerly, hoping to get the answer they wanted from him.

"The other party will choose to play slowly..."

After hearing Sawamura's answer, the group of friends really didn't know what to say.

Chris, who was holding a pen and recording the game, laughed out loud.

"You're right. They will most likely choose to hit the slow ball. But the question is, can they hit it? And when the batter aims at the fast ball or the slow ball, the stance and preparation are different..."

“Can you tell that?”

Sawamura looked puzzled.

Anyway, he couldn't see this kind of thing, so Sawamura was very skeptical whether other people could see it.
"We don't know whether others can see it or not. But the catcher on our team can definitely do it."

on the field.

Miyuki, who was standing at the catcher's position, was full of righteousness at this moment.

He was directing his teammates to stay in their positions.

"He..."

When Sawamura saw that figure, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

If it were about other people, Sawamura really couldn't guarantee it.

But that person is Miyuki.

Even Sawamura felt that the bespectacled catcher of their team could definitely do it.

Because Akatsuki Fōgaya is too strong.

It is known that almost everyone's attention is focused on Qingdao, the monster ace.

In this way, those people pay less attention to others.

That's what Yukichi is like.

It feels like he has become a background board for Furuya.

But is this really the case?

You have to know that this main catcher of their team had his own report in the baseball kingdom before.

He is so strong and talented.

It's something that others can hardly match.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Fūdani can show his strength on the court so freely.

Miyuki Ichi is the one who silently supports him behind his back.

If it weren't for Miyuki, this first-year monster ace wouldn't have shot so recklessly.

It won't be expressed so vividly.

Miyuki is the man standing behind Fūya, the real commander of the Qingdao team.

"The pitching rhythm was so fierce before that I was worried for them both."

"Now it seems that we were the ones who were worrying too much."

When the members of the Seidou High School baseball team got together, they all had happy expressions on their faces.

They were really shocked by this young man from their own team who performed so outstandingly on the field.

As long as he is there!
Or as long as they are there.

No matter how tough their opponents are on the court.

They can still win the game.

"Qingdao! Qingdao!!!"

Whether it's the die-hard supporters in the stands or the players in the dugout.

They all began to shout Qingdao's name in unison.

It felt like they were very confident that they would win the game in the end.

And believe it firmly.

In the rest area of ​​the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team.

Supervisor Nitta's brows were wrinkled into a lump.

He was in a state of confusion.

They were really surprised by the qualities displayed by the Seidou High School baseball team.

"how could be?"

"This young man is so decisive?"

The coach of the Troll Otojukami High School baseball team, he is very good at training players.

He knows the contestants' personalities like the back of his hand, and they're not too far off.

Just like his own disciples, he knew exactly what everyone was thinking...

Young players have their own advantages.

Once the game gets into shape, or their personal emotions fluctuate.

The performances of these children are often unexpectedly brilliant.

But at the same time, these children also have weaknesses that are difficult to erase.

And this weakness is very obvious.

The first point is also the most important one.

That is, these children tend to get carried away when they encounter difficulties.

This is a characteristic of young people and also their obvious weakness.

Take this freshman ace of the Seidou High School baseball team for example.

Although in the previous innings, Fūya's performance was very eye-catching, the baseball thrown from his hand was extremely fast.

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team were all stunned at the time.

Almost collapsed.

But in the view of Supervisor Nitta, this is not entirely a bad thing.

In some ways, this is even a good thing for them.

This freshman ace of the Seidou High School baseball team is already so powerful that it's almost a foul.

It’s not that Supervisor Nitta looks down on his own disciples.

Even if you gathered all the strongest hitters in high school together, during the heyday of Furuya's pitching, they would go head-to-head with this kid.

None of them can take advantage.

Even top professional players cannot hit a superluminal ball at a speed of over 165 kilometers.

Not to mention them...

It is naturally impossible for the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team to encounter such a ball.

It's a done deal.

But as long as the ace of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the famous Demon King, can maintain that state to pitch.

Then the balance of the game will inevitably tilt. Although this pitcher, who is respected as the devil, is invincible when he is full of energy.

But he is just a freshman in high school after all.

There is a limit to his physical strength.

The Seidou High School baseball team paid close attention to this issue at the beginning of the game.

They seemed to be particularly afraid that the ace of the Qingdao High School baseball team would have physical problems.

That’s the troll’s chance.

And from the perspective of Supervisor Nitta, he obviously believes that the opportunity is still very great.

He believed that the other party could not remain invincible forever.

He also firmly believed that as long as his disciples could seize the slightest chance during the game.

The situation will be reversed immediately.

The disciples under him will definitely prove it with practical actions.

How strong they are!
How powerful they are.

By then, if they get the points, they will be able to completely determine the outcome of the game.

It was a good plan.

But Supervisor Nitta was surprised to find that their plan didn't seem to work.

When I was young, I was on the high school baseball team, the boy who was full of energy and enthusiasm on the pitcher's mound.

It seemed that the problems they would encounter were predicted in advance.

So he came up with a solution straight away.

His speed and decisive actions are amazing.

Even Supervisor Nitta began to have doubts in his mind.

Is this really the trump card that the first-year student came up with on his own?
The answer is obvious.

Yes.

There was no unusual reaction in the rest area of ​​the Seidou High School baseball team.

But their players were encouraged.

Through these clues, it is not difficult to find that these people in the Qingdao rest area should not have known about it before.

But now, it doesn't stop them from getting excited.

"Who are you?"

Coach Nitta looked at the young man on the pitcher's mound, his mind full of questions.

But the boy himself obviously had no intention of answering him.

While directing his teammates' positions, Akira Fōgaya made decisive shots.

"Whoosh!"

When the batter of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team saw him throw the ball, he gritted his teeth and hit the ball out.

He bet it was a changeup.

Otherwise, the freshman ace of the Qingdao High School baseball team wouldn't have to go through so much effort.

His pitching speed was so terrifying that others had no time to react.

Fortunately, he made the right bet.

But it’s useless even if you bet right, because the difference in ball speed is so huge that the ball will not be played well if there is even the slightest deviation.

Even though the batter of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team was concentrating fully, deviations were inevitable.

And there was nothing he could do.

The bat had already been hit, and he saw it hit the ball with his own eyes.

"Ping!"

The batter of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team showed no joy on his face after he hit the ball again.

Some are just fear.

He knew very well the consequence of this shot.

The white baseball flew high.

In the rest area of ​​the Qingdao High School baseball team, a group of friends shouted in unison.

"Shortstop!"

The place where the ball landed was exactly the shortstop's defensive position.

Kuramochi looked at the ball falling from the sky and couldn't help but complain.

"This is too unchallenging, you bastard!"

Although he said so, the smile on the young man's face was not deceptive.

He is very excited.

"Snapped!"

The young man took a few steps forward and caught the ball into his glove effortlessly.

"Out!"

In the rest area of ​​the Troll Otojumaki High School baseball team, these athletes from Hokkaido had gloomy faces and water was dripping from them.

“Is this guy actually a fastball pitcher?”

It is no wonder that the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team would have such questions in their minds.

The current situation made it impossible for them not to think too much.

The first-year fastball pitcher of the Seidou High School baseball team is a well-known figure.

Everyone even thinks that he is the undisputed number one pitcher.

Such a terrifying guy threw the ball so fast that the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team could only lament.

Lament for their bad luck.

But now, the pitcher who was supposed to be the most powerful player in the world is using a slow changeup.

Isn't this bullying?
"This guy's physical strength must be unable to sustain it!"

In the rest area of ​​the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team, someone made malicious guesses.

To be honest, apart from this reason, they really can't think of any other reasons that could have led to the current situation?
"Are you guys too self-righteous? Can a player who has exhausted all his energy really use such a standard slow ball?"

Supervisor Nitta was angry at him for not fighting back.

If you want to throw the ball so accurately, you can't do it without physical strength.

When a person is exhausted, it doesn't mean that the pitching speed will be slow.

The most obvious feature is probably that the pitching lacks that power.

It gives people a feeling of being weak and listless.

This is a sign of physical exhaustion!

The first-year ace of the Seidou High School baseball team obviously does not fall into this situation.

The most important reason why his pitching is so slow is probably that he is consciously controlling his physical strength.

"The game has already started, and that first-year kid is still trying to control his physical strength. Don't you feel it? What does the other party want to do?"

Hear about the issues they oversee.

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team felt like they had entered a cold storage.

Cold from head to toe.

"What do you mean?"

“Maybe the kid didn’t think that way before, but I can guarantee that’s what he’s thinking now.”

"Vote until the end of the game!!"

When the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team heard these words, they felt their hearts sink.

He's going to pitch until the end of the game.

what does this mean?
Everybody knows it.

This meant that if they couldn't defeat the monster in front of them, they wouldn't stand a chance at all.

"It's been a while since we've been able to get any points. It looks like this first-year monster ace is getting impatient."

Nitta, the coach of the Troll Otomaki High School baseball team, suddenly spoke to everyone.

The troll players, who had already fallen into despair, immediately widened their eyes when they heard their supervisor say this.

Could it be that?
"This is also our chance. If we can't score, then we have to defend first..."

Just as he said this, Fūya easily got two more outs.

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

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