Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 7 Newcomer Test!

"Newbie test!"

Sawamura, who had suffered a setback in his baseball career before, his eyes lit up when he heard that there was going to be a rookie test.

Obviously, in his opinion, this is an opportunity given to him by God.

As long as he can show enough outstanding potential during the newcomer test.

Then he should be able to re-enter the supervisor's eyes.

"You keep running without taking the test!"

Director Kataoka said coldly.

The boy's sweet dream was put to rest before it even started.

Of course the hot-blooded Sawamura was not convinced, and he immediately started arguing with Supervisor Kataoka.

The other players who were supposed to be tested also forgot about their tasks and focused all their attention on Sawamura.

I have to say that this guy's protagonist aura is still very strong.

Let’s put football skills aside for now.

His ability to attract attention anytime and anywhere is not something that ordinary people can possess.

In the end, the two made a bet, and Director Kataoka asked Eijo Sawamura to throw a ball as long as he could throw the ball 90 meters away.

Then he allowed Sawamura to participate in the test.

Of course, in the process, Kataoka also showed off a wave of his own pitching.

Although he is now the supervisor of the Aomichi High School baseball team and no longer a first-line baseball player, Kataoka's ability is still amazing.

After seeing his pitch.

A group of new players are obviously much more honest.

On the court, everyone worships the strong.

This is the same for most people.

They followed Minister Ohta and were tested, and the first was the baserunning test.

On the surface, the baserunning may not seem like a big deal.

In a real baseball game, it is very difficult to score points solely by relying on base running.

But that doesn't mean baserunning isn't important.

Teams like the Seido High School baseball team crush most opponents when they face them.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult for ordinary teams to pose a threat to wealthy teams.

Not just Qingdao, but other wealthy teams as well.

In this way, there are only a few teams that can really pose a threat to Qingdao.

When playing against those opponents, because they are both from wealthy families, their performances are often evenly matched.

At this time, the way to break the deadlock in the game is often fielding and base running.

Who makes fewer mistakes, or who can find the moment that changes the game.

Whoever can win.

Therefore, for a team like the Seido High School baseball team, the defensive ability and base running ability of the players are extremely important.

Players are taking the field one after another. At this time, have the players received professional training?It can be said to be clear at a glance.

Players from youth baseball backgrounds tend to perform better.

The most powerful ones here are Kanemaru, Tojo and Takatsu.

If we say that among the newcomers, those who perform more outstandingly are the youth baseball players.

Then the three of them are the best among youth baseball players.

They are the absolute core players in their respective teams.

It goes without saying that they are all well-deserved star players.

Especially Tojo and Kanemaru.

Their team, Matsukata Youth League, had won the top four in the country before.

And they are the absolute core and main force in the Matsukata Youth League.Players like this are highly anticipated no matter which wealthy club they join.

1
Not to mention that they joined Qingdao, a wealthy family that seemed to be in decline.

During the test, Minister Ohta and the team's coach had high expectations for the three of them.

Whenever the three of them were tested, their focused expressions were different.

In these tedious tests, Fang Guxiao can only be regarded as outstanding, but not dazzling.

His speed to first base ranked fourth among all rookies.

There is actually not much difference between his data and fifth place.

Strictly speaking, the two are even on the same level.

It's just that in this test, Jiang Guxiao performed slightly better.

Compared to the top three, Tojo and the others have a clear advantage.

In other tests, the situation was similar.

Even though Akatsuki Fukitani was in Hokkaido, he and his friends won the second place in Hokkaido.

He is also the best player in Hokkaido.

But he was participating in a middle school league.

But Tojo and the others were playing youth baseball.

Although the main players in the game are middle school students, the difficulty level is completely different.

As a result, although Akatsuki Fangiya performed well in the newcomer test, she did not stand out.

On the contrary, Kanemaru and Tojo performed extremely well in various tests.

It can be seen that it is definitely not a fluke that they can reach the national semi-finals of the youth baseball team.

Of course, this is not to say that Fang Guxiao is not outstanding.

It's just that his excellence is not as conspicuous as it was in Hokkaido.

His overall baserunning score is fourth. If we only look at first base to second base, Akatsuki Fukitani can even be third.

He was able to surpass Kanemaru, but was still beaten by Takatsu and Tojo.

Especially Tojo Hideaki, the young man's comprehensive ability in all aspects is simply outrageous.

In all his tests, he never fell out of the top two.

In tests other than baserunning, Akatsuki Fukutani was basically ranked 2nd to 4th.

Although he doesn't go through systematic and professional training like those players in the Youth Baseball League, Jiang Guxiao's physical fitness is really outrageous.

Even without professional training, his abilities in all aspects are outstanding.

This brings us to the crucial pitching session.

Pitching for newcomers is very simple, it just depends on who can throw the ball far.

Originally, this test should be very high.

Even if you are not a pitcher, passing the ball is something that every baseball player must practice.

The speed and accuracy of passing can also determine the outcome of the game.

The contestants whose names were called came forward to take the test one by one. The newcomers who were attracting much attention at this time naturally fell behind.

Not only Minister Ohta is very curious, but also the other coaches are full of expectations for these newcomers.

Unlike others, most of the other coaches were staring at Tojo or Takatsu at this time.

They performed outstandingly in previous tests, and their previous results, including their reputation, were also relatively famous.

At this time, the coaches of the Qingdao High School baseball team naturally hope to see them perform outstandingly on the court.

Of course they have to look forward to it.

But Minister Ohta was different. Minister Ohta did not set his sights on Tojo and others, but directly on Akatsuki Furiya.

"Is there anything special about this player?"
