Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 468 Kick them into hell

After Kawakami came on the court, Chengxiang's line became fragmented.

Although there are not completely no hits, the existence of hits has completely become a matter of luck.

However, what all the viewers never dreamed of was that although Chengxiang's pitcher could not suppress Qingdao's line.

Obviously, such a big score has caused psychological problems for the Qingdao players.

Kuramochi lost his previous stability on the bases, and was more anxious to score.

As a result, because of this performance, he was pinned out by a diversionary ball, and his reaction speed was obviously a beat slower.

In the panic of Maezono, he made a bunt error and the ball flew away.

The first batter, Xi Jianggu, was dissatisfied and waved the stick indiscriminately, resulting in a strikeout.

When he was on guard, I don't know if he was beaten unconscious before, which caused him to lose his concentration. His actions made people feel like he was in a state of confusion.

Seeing that there was a problem with Fukiya, the stable output point of the previous hit, Miyuki also got a little carried away and actively used the wrong direction, causing him to rush forward in a hurry. The second batter hit the tricky path and was eliminated.

If the difference in strength wasn't really too big, with such a messy line-up, we could still slowly chase points by two points in two games.

The audience probably saw a scene where King Qingdao was eliminated by a weak team by a huge score.

However, Qingdao started scoring too late, resulting in one point left in the eighth inning.

Trailing four to five.

Sawamura started playing in the fifth game, and Miyuki, who was a little anxious, didn't dare to use this game to try an outside corner kick.

Coach Kataoka didn't say a word the whole time, as if he wanted to see how chaotic these guys could be.

It can be said that this game turned into a slow pursuit of points by Qingdao, which relied entirely on the efforts of Kawakami and Sawamura.

In the middle of the game, Isashiki-senpai wanted to curse several times, but Team Tetsu stopped him because he noticed the silence of the entire coaching staff headed by Coach Kataoka.

An action that does not give instructions or call a timeout...

After a person goes to the head, it is difficult to wake up before encountering a heavy blow.

With Aomichi slowly chasing points, and with Miyuki Kuramochi on top, there was no sign of awakening at all.

The two most capable leaders in the second grade came forward, and Sendō, who could be called the leader of the team in the first grade, remained silent...

Except for the simple and unpretentious one from Hakushu, the rest of them were all just like the Koshien cheerleaders a month ago, and it was impossible to count on them.

Finally, after Sawamura suppressed Chengxiang's lineout with a no-hitter in the ninth inning, the game came to the attack in the final half of the inning.

In the last half of the game, the first to stand up were the first-year players, Tojo, who was playing in the lower position, and Kanemaru, who was playing on behalf of others.

Two consecutive hits turned the situation into second and third base with no outs.

Kuramochi suddenly hit the ball at this time, trying to take advantage of Chengxiang's defensive weakness to get on base.

But the other party was obviously prepared.

Cheng Xiang, who never thought he would win, was extremely calm. Kuramochi had already shown his super fast feet before.

Although Kuramochi was out, he advanced the bases to second and third base.

At this time, the opponent's pitcher had a problem with the ball and threw a bad ball.

Bases loaded! !

"Supervisor! Substitute!" At this time, a very familiar voice sounded from the Qingdao bench, which had played the entire game.

"Do you think we will lose? Sendō!" Coach Kataoka said indifferently without looking back.

His indifference was obviously not directed at Immortals.

"Do not!

Even if we are useless again, we will not lose to such a team!

But, in this game, we..."

"At this time, do you still want to save some face?" Coach Kataoka glanced sideways at Sendao behind him.

In fact, this sentence is for everyone to hear.

“The so-called king’s face created by our predecessors has long been lost!

So, no matter how you win in the end, it doesn’t matter...

No?

And I don’t know if this substitution will be a fig leaf, or if it will only make us more embarrassed! Xiandao said calmly.

"Humph!

Even if it is covered with a fig leaf in the end, it will still be more embarrassing! "Coach Kataoka snorted.

However, there was a slight silence for a while and then he breathed out.

It's the same expression that he used to indulge Immortal's willfulness.

"Tell me! Who do you want to fight instead?"

"I!"

After hearing Sendō's answer, Coach Kataoka looked at him for two seconds.

"Souga! (So that's it)" Coach Kataoka uttered two sounds.

"Since they are already so embarrassed, let's kick them into hell!" Xiandao smiled slightly.

Coach Kataoka didn't answer and just walked out of the bench.

"Request a pause!

We need to change the fight! "Coach Kataoka's voice sounded in the stadium.

"This is the first time today that I heard Coach Kataoka come out to give instructions!"

"yes!

With the team fighting like this, the supervisor is probably going to be furious! "

“But who will be replaced at this time?

It was Kanemaru before! (When changing gold pills, the player called a timeout)"

"I don't know! No one's doing swing practice out there!"

There was a lot of discussion in the stadium about Coach Kataoka's words.

Not long after, Sendō held the bat in one hand and put the helmet on his head with the other.

"That is!!"

"seriously!"

"Isn't he injured? Is he able to play now?"

"Baga! It's just a muscle strain. If I play, I should be fine!"

They probably want him to recover better and let him play in the official competition in the autumn competition! "

"In other words, can't you stand this indifferent guy?"

The OB on the sidelines was already furious when he saw Sendao walking out of the bench.

Also in trouble were the Qingdao players.

Just like Xiandao said, seeing his figure at this time, they felt as if they were in hell, which was more uncomfortable than any punishment.

"Leave this to me!" Xiandao walked to the home base and said.

"Uh! Oh!" Maezono heard Xiandao's somewhat cold voice and was a little confused. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what he said.

He was used to the fairy who always spoke in a gentle tone no matter what happened.

Sendao said nothing and continued to move forward.

"Hey! Immortal...immortal!

Swing the bat...warm up..." Realizing that Sendō was going directly to the hitting area, Maezono stretched out his hand towards Sendō's back, which was less than two meters in front of him, and said intermittently.

"An opponent of this level!

No need!

You just have to be ready to cheer! "Xiandao stopped when he heard the first word of Maezono. After politely listening to his slow words, he turned his head slightly and said.

"No need...!" Cold sweat suddenly appeared on Maezono's forehead.

Repeating these three words Xiandao said in his mouth, it was like a heavy hammer hitting his chest hard.

Making it hard for him to breathe. Then, he clenched his fists tightly, with incomparable strength, incomparable unwillingness, and incomparable powerlessness.

Because the look in his eyes when he saw Xiandao was extremely lethal, as if it penetrated his heart. (imagined by Maezono)

Sendao was really angry. In his memory, this game was a steady win, but the result was that he was still behind in the ninth game.

Even if it is embarrassing, there must be a limit. This scene obviously exceeded the limit of immortality.

……

"This is...Sendou Akira!"

“What a great pressure!!”

"This is the man who stands at the top of Japan!!!"

Seeing the immortals walking toward them, Chengxiang's players gulped and spit like crazy, and the thoughts in their minds gave them an endless sense of oppression.

"Come up directly..., you mean to deal with us, it's not even a warm-up, right?"

Even if he felt that he was being looked down upon by the immortal, he still couldn't bring up any anger.

Japan's No. 1...is such a wonderful existence.

They all felt that against a weak team like theirs, it was natural that the number one man in Japan would not even need to warm up.

Reputation is something that can make opponents have endless wild thoughts. To put it bluntly, it can make people dizzy!

Although they don’t know what Dihua is!

……

"you!

Are you ready? "Even if he knew that Xiandao was not going to warm up, the referee still had to confirm.

"Hi!

please! ! "

"PLAY!" After hearing the affirmative answer, the referee announced that the game would continue.

“Although left-handed pitchers are overwhelmingly advantageous to left-handed hitters…

But... Oops! !

Is that the end of it?

However, in the end, I was beaten out by this man, and I felt proud from the bottom of my heart! "Cheng Xiang's ace didn't have any fear, but was a little excited.

But it’s not the excitement of the battle, it’s the excitement of the fans.

Just like how basketball players all over the world felt about their dream team competing on the same stage in 92.

Ordinary people are the only people who cannot be jealous of geniuses.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"piu!"

"puff!"

"The outside world!!"

"The ball is so fast! My body can't even react!" the third baseman thought to himself as he looked at the exploding sand behind him.

"Oops! So handsome!

The bad ball from the outside corner was hit so easily!

And that look, is he using this ball as a warm-up and to observe the ball path?

Sure enough..., this man is so handsome! ! "The pitcher has completely entered the form of a fanboy...

"Huh!" Xiandao breathed gently in the strike zone.

Now his existence is like Qingdao's last fig leaf!

The treasures left behind by the previous king’s team!

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Oops!

Ball control error! "I don't know whether it was due to overexcitement or some other reason, but Cheng Xiang's pitcher missed a shot at this time.

"Um?

Entering the strike zone? "Xian Dao thought so, but his hands were not affected by his mind at all.

"Ping!"

"Huh? Are you getting lucky?" The pitcher saw that the parabola was not as high as he thought.

After all, no matter how big the difference in strength is, home runs are rare, and luck is also very important. It's not surprising that he thinks so.

"Bang!" However, the ball still hit the guardrail.

"Oh!!!" people outside the venue exclaimed.

“The bases loaded home run!”

"Sayunara!!"

"I didn't expect that the 30th blast from Xiandaojun's high school calculations would actually be obtained under such circumstances!

Now I don’t know whether I should be happy or not! "

They lost the game, but Chengxiang's players were not sad at all. Instead, they were very happy. Anyway, they had a great time today.

"Bang!" Xiandao let out a faint sound, dropped the bat and started running the bases.

Senior Chris, Coach Kataoka, and Coach Ochiai couldn't help but stare, but no one said anything.

Qingdao won the game, and the players couldn't be happy either!

The game ended after the runners returned to base one after another.

In the end, no one thought Cheng Xiang would win, but everyone had mixed feelings about this game.

"I'm sorry!" When everything was over and he returned to the bench, he passed by Coach Kataoka's fairy road and apologized softly.

This apology caused the other players on the bench to express confusion and other complicated expressions.

"Xian Dao! You can move freely next!

If you are tired, it doesn’t matter if you go back first! "A few seconds later, Coach Kataoka said in a slightly softer voice. (With such anger, even if you want to be gentle, you can't be gentle.)

Sendō put on his protective gear without saying a word, and Coach Kataoka and even Coach Ochiai didn't care about him.

Minister Ohta also felt that Sendao was a little strange, so he just looked at him deeply with a little worry.

……

“Thank you so much for your support today!

Although they were defeated, the players fought hard.

Even masters are not rock solid, and understanding this is a big gain!

alright! Keep your chest up and your head up, and return to our own home! "Cheng Xiang's fat coach with a pockmarked face.

To the cheering group composed of parents and students who came to cheer them on, he delivered a speech full of pride and enthusiasm.

"The atmosphere is so lively! It's obviously the losing team!" An OB from Qingdao sighed as he watched the opponent leave with applause and cheers.

“The air is so heavy here!!”

“Now I don’t even know who has made it to the official trials!”

……

In the stadium, Coach Kataoka just looked at the players in silence. (Xian Dao was asked to move around freely and did not enter the queue)

"Is this...the baseball you want to play?...

A pitcher who doesn't consider the distribution of physical strength at all from the beginning of the first inning and throws the ball with brute force.

Maybe because he was dissatisfied with being substituted, he swung the bat randomly when he entered the game... He didn't concentrate on fielding..." At this point, Coach Kataoka took a look and realized that he was wrong, and he lowered his head and surrendered.

“But after being ahead by five points, I became too impulsive, reckless, and made all kinds of mistakes...

The enthusiasm was in the wrong place, and the tricky path was taken from the first ball...

Are you already carried away with your victory in the summer?

do not forget! ...The glory of summer is not led by you! ! !

What do you practice for every day? Isn’t it just for today?

It's because he doesn't realize the importance of scoring a point steadily that he behaves like this! !

Or just pre-selection?

Because we are in a group without strong schools, as the ‘kings’, it is natural for us to win?

Stop being arrogant! ! !

How can the players go to Koshien if they cannot fully challenge the opponent's team in front of them! ! !

No touching the ball from now on!

Before I said yes, I went for a run! !

……

What's the answer? ! ! "Coach Kataoka looked at the scolded people who were confused.

"Hi!!!"

　Asking for votes...
