Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 378 Fated Rival! (Two in One)

"boom!!"

The terrifying pitch blew up the whole stadium.

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team, as well as their team's supporters in the stands, were completely stunned.

They looked up in disbelief at the huge electronic scoreboard.

They seemed to no longer be curious about whether the batters of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team could hit the ball.
The reason is also very simple.

The speed of the ball was clearly displayed on the huge electronic scoreboard.

"160km!!"

Compared to the explosive 168 kilometers, the speed of the ball has dropped a lot.

But the players and supporters of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team were not happy at all.

The players on their team still had no way to deal with the speed of the ball.

This isn’t them devaluing themselves.

Even if you invite professional players, it would be rare to find those who can hit this kind of ball.

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team, training under the supervision of their family.

The strength is indeed not bad.

They obviously don't have the background and resources of a wealthy team, but the players trained by their team can hold their own even when facing off against players from wealthy teams.

This kind of performance is already very scary.

However, even so, it is a bit difficult for them to face pitching over 150km.

Not to mention, they are now facing a 160km ball.

Even if they use all their strength to breastfeed.

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team had no way to hit the ball at this speed.

They could only watch helplessly...

"Damn it, is there no way at all?"

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team were extremely unwilling to give in.

But they might as well not admit it.

At least until now, they are facing the first-year monster of the Seidou High School baseball team.

There is nothing that can be done.

Even if they racked their brains, even if they used all their strength...

That doesn't work either.

"nice shot!"

Just when everyone was feeling desperate, the white baseball came whizzing towards them again.

The batter gritted his teeth and struck out.

When he swung the bat, he was still half a beat slow.

"strike out!!"

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

The score on the field remained at 1:0.

To be honest, the score gap is really small.

Especially in baseball games, breaking this score barrier is not easy, but it is not far from it.

However, facing the first-year ace of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the members of the Troll Dai Tengjuan High School baseball team were completely speechless.

They have no way out.

Even the commentators of the game have begun to make pessimistic predictions.

"The Seidou High School baseball team is only six outs away from winning the game."

This statement shows that there is something wrong with the person.

The game isn't over yet, what makes the commentator think so?
The one who will win the game in the end must be Seidou, right?

Couldn't it be some other team?

But the commentator said just that, and everyone at the scene, even the players and supporters of Troll Da Tengjuan, did not think there was anything wrong with what the commentator said.

They knew full well that this was true.

In today's match, the team that will win in the end must be Qingdao.

This is true even in the rest area of ​​the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team.

Everyone knows the truth, but they just don't want to make it public.

At this point, the entire atmosphere of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team had actually quietly changed.

Their players began to wonder, is there any point in continuing the competition?
It’s not that their fighting spirit is not strong enough, nor that they can’t persevere to the end.

The main reason is that at this time, the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team could not see any hope of winning at all.

They don’t even know, so what reason do they have to persist?
Of course, there are also those who are unwilling.

For example, the player with a pair of dead fish eyes sitting in the corner of their rest area.

His eyes are not big and he looks listless.

But he gave people the feeling of an unwilling beast.

He still has the urge to play.

He still wants to play...

Even other people can't see any possibility of winning.

He doesn't want to give up either.

Not only did he not want to give up, he even wanted to turn things around.

How smart is the coach of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team?

He was very keenly aware of this.

But what can be clearly felt is the young man's strong fighting spirit.

"Are you getting impatient already?"

The Troll Datongjuan High School baseball team has trained many players.

Especially good pitchers.

At this stage, they actually have a lot of options and it is not necessary to let this young man play.

But when the coach of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team saw the boy's eyes.

He made a prompt decision.

"Hongo, are you ready?"

"Yes!"

The boy named Hongo said this while gritting his teeth.

The teenagers were obviously not satisfied with the arrangements under their supervision.

If he could be allowed to play earlier, the situation their team is facing would definitely not be like it is now.

"I want to play! I want to play!!!"

He has expressed this meaning clearly in his own way.

Of course it was their team's supervisor, but he kept pretending not to see it.

The anger in the boy's heart was about to burn.

"Very good, then go on stage. Vent out all your anger towards me."

Upon hearing the supervisor's words, Hongo Masamune, who had already prepared himself, stood up immediately.

Working with him was a catcher named Lian Si.

The Troll Otojuan High School baseball team has changed.

This is what almost everyone guessed.

The best pitcher of the Troll Da Tengjuan High School baseball team should be their team's number one player, Kuroda.

But Kuroda is so strange that almost no one thinks he is the troll's trump card.

Or it could be said that no one thought that the troll vine had a real trump card.

The reason why their team can make it to the present day, just like the Seidou High School baseball team, is because they have been able to overcome all obstacles and advance all the way to the present day.

The most fundamental reason is that their team implemented a rotation system.

Many professional media reporters have also specifically mentioned this point when analyzing the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team.

It is because their team used the tactics and methods of professional teams.

They can completely crush those giants even though their players are not much stronger than those of other giants.

Get a ticket to the Koshien finals.

How useful is this method?
Even a strong team like Qingdao High School baseball team could be tricked by the opponent if they were not careful.

The strength is so powerful and terrifying.

It was because the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team were used to using this tactic that the fans had guessed in advance that they would make substitutions.

Not to mention the players of Seidou High School baseball team. These teammates of Seidou High School baseball team knew about the other party's actions very early.

What they didn't expect was that the pitchers that the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team substituted in were not the pitchers that had played before.

Nor is he their number one ace, Kuroda.

Instead, it was a young man whom they had never heard of before and who looked a little listless.

The young man took the mound and gave off a very average impression.

Yuki, the fourth batter of the Seidou High School baseball team, was the first to reach the batter's box.

He raised the bat high in his hand.

Then people saw Hongo on the pitcher's mound throwing the ball decisively.

"Whoosh!"

When seeing Hongo pitching the ball, many teammates of Seidou High School baseball team were stunned for a moment.

They could clearly feel that the speed of this ball was not slow.

It's just because they have seen too many super fast pitches before.

So much so that they feel that the pitching from their hometown is a bit ordinary.

The baseball whizzed towards us.

Yuki was standing in the batter's box, motionless.

After seeing this ball, he narrowed his eyes.

Not only that, he swung the bat straight out.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a huge roar, as everyone stared in disbelief.

The bat hit the baseball hard.

"Ping!"

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team were stunned when they saw the baseball being hit.

They know very well what kind of character this little friend of theirs is.

Even his attack failed?
The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team couldn't even imagine what was happening before their eyes.

By the time they come to their senses and want to make amends.

It's too late...

The white baseball has hit the ground and bounced.

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team didn't react at all.

The first batter of the Seidou High School baseball team had already rushed to first base.

"Safety!"

No one out, first base occupied.

"He called out again?"

"This batting success rate is simply appalling."

For the members of the Qingdao High School baseball team, everything that happened before their eyes deeply shocked them.

They also didn't expect that Yuki would perform so well today.

A player of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team, who was replaced every three innings.

There was no chance for the teammates on the Qingdao High School baseball team to understand their strength.

Under such circumstances, the Seidou High School baseball team played very passively.

Although they are ahead of their opponents with their strong strength.

But the teammates on the Seidou High School baseball team were actually not happy at all.

So far, the only one who has actually hit the ball is Tetsuya Yuuki.

The friends on the Qingdao High School baseball team were all numb.

Obviously, their previous performance was outstanding, but now, they have completely failed.

None of them hit the ball.

In the past, did the die-hard supporters of Seidou High School baseball team have such a debate?
They argued about which of the two highly-anticipated hitters on the Seidou High School baseball team was better.

One is their team's fourth batter Yuki.

The other is Akira Fōtani who keeps hitting super home runs.

Judging from the data, the performance of the two is similar.

Even because he often hits home runs, Akira Fōgaya attracts more attention.

But up to now, no one dares to speak up.

It is said that Akatsuki Fōgaya's strength is above that of Yuki.

Facts speak louder than words.

Facing a strong opponent, it is obvious that their fourth-place player Yuki is stronger.

Just like now, facing this unknown pitcher, the fourth batter of Seidou High School baseball team once again attacked strongly.

He managed to get the hit.

This means that in today's game, they will face the powerful Troll Otojuan High School baseball team.

Yuki from Seidou High School baseball team has already got two hits.

"There is hope. Let's do it in one go!!"

No one out, first base occupied.

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team obviously did not expect this result.

They knew very well what level of monster their junior named Hongo was.

Originally, the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team thought that as long as this monster from their team was on the field, they could sweep everything.

Even if the Seidou High School baseball team is stronger, they will not be able to defeat the opponent in one go.

It can also give the other person a scare.

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team are still confident about this.

But now, their confidence is not that strong.

Although the two pitchers performed so well before, the players of the Troll High School baseball team were still not so confident about those two.

Who would have thought that they performed without any problems.

Instead, the hometown, which they thought was least likely to have problems, had problems from the very beginning.

Not only that, his problem is very serious.

Because the second person to come on stage was the one with the mustache, Jun Isashiki.

He also hit the ball cleanly and neatly.

"Ping!"

Hongo of the Troll Otomaki High School baseball team has a very fast pitching speed.

The huge electronic scoreboard clearly displayed the speed of the two balls.

A 147 and a 148.

Except for the monster Fūtani, this is already the top pitching speed in the country.

But even so, the batter of Seidou High School baseball team still hit the ball easily?
The strength they displayed was simply horrifying.

Of course, for the friends on the Seidou High School baseball team, they didn’t actually do anything.

Even this kid named Hongo has a very fast pitching speed.

The guys on the Qingdao High School baseball team also adapted well...

After all, compared to the ace of their team, the pitcher of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team is just a small fry.

No one out, one and two bases occupied.

This is a situation that no one expected.

Even the friends on the Qingdao High School baseball team had never dared to think so well before.

Their opponents have been outstanding.

So much so that the friends on the Seidou High School baseball team all thought that the opposing team's last pitcher must be extraordinary.

I didn't expect it to be so easy for them and they already had runners on first and second base.

This means that they have a very high probability of helping the team get another point.

The guys on the Seidou High School baseball team are not greedy, they just want one point.

As long as they can get one point, they will be satisfied.
