Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 555 Showdown

"Hey!" The bench cheered loudly, with Minister Ohta taking the lead in shouting.

"Well done!! Fang Gu!!"

"That'll be fine!!!

Make your opponent surrender from the bottom of his heart. Isn't the pressure of the ball your greatest weapon? ! ! !

Say it!

You have everything I don’t have! You bastard! "Sawamura shouted when the defending players ran to the bench one after another.

Jiang Gu decisively ignored the second half of his sentence and only listened to what he wanted to hear.

"If you want to get mad, don't praise him!" Miyuki couldn't help but complain after hearing Sawamura's words.

“There are already a lot of goals, but the fighting spirit has not weakened at all, or it has become stronger!

It’s really awesome! Fall to the valley! "Qianyuan looked at Jiang Gu's back and said to himself.

"It's amazing! I relied on my momentum to get through it!" As Xiaochun, who had personally scored a double play, he naturally knew that the batter had been suppressed by the power of the ball, and it was a matter of course that he got a double play instead.

The opponent's runner really dared to run, although he scored a lot of points as a result, which also led to this double play.

“My physical strength should have reached its limit long ago!

Judging from the results, Sawamura's words had an effect!

How unyielding are you?

What a good pair of opponents! "Kuramochi-senpai laughed in his heart.

“I gave up eight runs in eight innings!

He hit a three-run home run in the first inning, so it’s not surprising that he was replaced anytime!

With the power of self-correction, has he finally developed the consciousness of being an ace?

Looking forward to your next boarding! Fall to the valley! "Miyuki also commented on Furiya's pitching today.

“I lost eight points!

To be honest, I am really unwilling! "Jiang Gu was jogging, but he had a low opinion of himself.

"This is a loss of points caused by a misjudgment. Don't take it to heart. You did a great job in stopping their offensive!" Coach Kataoka consoled him when he saw Furiya coming off the court and running in front of him.

"So, the ninth game..."

"This is impossible!" Coach Kataoka interrupted decisively.

"Finish the vote..."

"impossible!"

"...!" After Jiang Gu was silent for a second, he used his aura to express himself again and carried out a silent resistance.

“But if it’s your turn, you still have to go out and hit!

Don't relax! "After explaining to Feng Gu, he turned to look at Hakushu and Koharu who entered the strike zone and preparation zone at the beginning of the second half of the game.

"Hakushu! Minato!

The opponent's momentum should be at its peak, so it's best to forget that he's suffering from continuous shot fatigue.

Treat him as he is in his prime, no, treat him as one hundred and twenty percent!

In order not to continue to fuel his arrogance, we must not simply be eliminated!

And you can’t escape, you must actively attack! ! ! "

"Hi!!!"

"Immortal way!"

"Ok?"

"You like this opponent and the situation, right?

The other party will also compete with you because of this atmosphere!

The rest is up to you!

As our four-bat hitter, respond to him! "Coach Kataoka said with a smile at the end.

Although Coach Kataoka's smile was directed at Sendō, it also made the other players feel extremely at ease.

"I understand!

He is worth defeating now!

Thanks to him, my condition has already come to an end!

…I can’t wait! "Xiandao, who couldn't wait to put on his armor early, glanced at Mei Gong, and then started a simple warm-up.

"Hold on to this game! Let's make a big comeback!!" Mei Gong shouted loudly.

"Oh!!!"

By this time, Ukumori's players had begun to enter the court.

"Ukumori!!!"

“I’ll see how you reverse it in the next game!!!”

"The game is not over yet!!"

"Ukumori!!"

"Shout out! Mei Gong!!!"

The voices of the audience, who had just been silenced by the double play, echoed through the entire venue during the intermission.

"It will be A Xian in the ninth game, right?

As long as he can keep his original pitch and throw it to the corners...,

But, this atmosphere..." Thinking of this, Miyuki looked at Kawakami in the bullpen with some concern, and then looked at Sawamura who was doing Maeda Ken's gymnastics at the exit of the bench.

Seeing Kawakami's expression, he also understood that now was no longer the time to compete in terms of skills, but rather in terms of psychological strength.

"Miyuki!" At this time, Coach Kataoka spoke.

"Hi!"

“Don’t run away from the center line in the next game, suppress them well!

When the stadium becomes this atmosphere, the referee should also be regarded as the enemy.

If we fall behind in the number of goals due to caution, it will only make the opponent think that we are evading and become even more aggressive!

To reach the enemy who is desperate to attack, you must rely on the same strong fighting spirit!

Only an equally strong fighting spirit can stop them. "Coach Kataoka's words coincide with Miyuki's words.

"That is to say!" Miyuki thought to himself.

"The last round! Let Sawamura play!!!"

"Hi!" Miyuki replied with a smile.

This sentence happened to be heard by Kawakami who returned to the bench. He clenched his fists calmly.

Minister Ohta's face turned green when he heard this. Apart from his courage, Sawamura is sometimes more unstable than Furitani...

But Coach Kataoka's order is absolute. Regardless of whether he agrees with it or not, he can only acquiesce to this ending.

"Humph!

Sawamura! Get out of here, don't block the road here!

Go warm up quickly. "Kanamaru Mama snorted happily, immediately changed her face and walked out of the bench to curse Sawamura.

"Ah?" Sawamura turned around blankly.

"You're about to appear! The supervisor wants you to board for the last round!" Kanemaru said with a smile.

"Really?! Kanemaru!" Sawamura immediately became surprised.

"Ah! You are about to appear!"

“Thank you!!!

I will definitely live up to BOSS’s expectations! ! !

absolute! ! !

BOSS’s expectations! ! ! "After receiving Kanemaru's approval, he bowed ninety degrees in the direction of Coach Kataoka, and then shouted at the top of his lungs.

For a moment, the audience's voices supporting Ukumori were drowned out.

"...!

ah! Come on!

And don’t call me BOSS again! "Coach Kataoka said quietly after being silent for a while.

"YES! BOSS!!!"

"It's all said..."

"YES! BOSS!!!"

Seeing Sawamura interrupting him, he knew that whatever he said now would be the same, so he chose to remain silent.

"Pfft!" Kuramochi kicked Sawamura on the butt.

"well?!!!

Why? "Sawamura looked over in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"It's so noisy! Go to the bullpen and warm up immediately!" Kuramochi continued with a chokehold.

“Hi!…I…I understand!

Please...let me go!

Gonna... be strangled to death! "Sawamura struggled and said intermittently with honorifics.

……

“In the second half of the eighth inning, Seido High School’s attack,

Two sticks! Right fielder, Hakushu-kun! "

"Ukumori!!"

"Meigong!!"

"Suppress them well!!!"

After the game started, the sudden burst of shouts from the audience completely overwhelmed the cheers of the substitutes on the Qingdao opening stage, and they completely turned into villains.

“The loud support that resounded throughout the entire stadium...I can already feel it...a big explosion of adrenaline!!

I feel in better shape than ever!

It seemed that all the fatigue I felt was gone for a moment, and my body became extremely light.

As long as you hold on to this round, there will be a big reversal in the next round! ! ! "Mei Gong also felt his extremely excited mental state.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

“This straight shot is faster than the previous ones!!

And the ball path is extremely tricky.

Sure enough, as the supervisor said, he should be treated as one hundred and twenty percent of his peak level. "Senior Baishu thought to himself after watching this tricky low ball.

"puff!"

"..."

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

"Yo Xi!! I'm chasing him!!"

"Suppress him!!! Mei-chan!!"

“This ball path can still enter the strike zone!

Now all the suspicious shots have to be taken! "Senior Hakushu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the exaggerated vertical changes of this slow curveball.

"It's over after this ball!!"

"puff!"

"..."

"Again? We have to take action!!" Senior Baizhou saw that he didn't dare to judge whether the ball was good or bad, so he could only take action.

"Ping!"

"Yo Xi! Third baseman!" Umenomiya shouted to the defense behind him when he saw Hakushu-senpai barely hitting a ground ball.

"Pah! Pah!" Although the ball was a little wide, the third baseman still didn't let the ball roll behind him.

"We have to catch up!" Senior Hakushu, who was running the base, gritted his teeth and secretly said.

"Snapped!"

"..."

"Safety!"

After a brief silence, the referee gave the verdict.

"Yo Xi!" Baizhou extended his fist slightly and celebrated secretly.

"Sorry! Mei-chan!!"

“Don’t worry, it just happened to be in a bad place!!

That runner ran pretty fast! ! ! Mei Gong said with a smile.

"Three bats! Second baseman, Minato-kun!"

“Next, it’s time to hit the center line!

Having a runner on first base, which turns out not to be a bad thing, seals your run.

It seems that fate wants me to end things with you! "Meigong chuckled and whispered, but his eyes were fixed on Xiandao.

"The straight ball is faster, the ball path is sharper, and even the accuracy of the change ball is so accurate?" Koharu and Umenomiya looked at each other and thought to themselves.

After being beaten by Senior Baishu, Xiaochun's expression became extremely solemn.

“Mei-chan!!

Suppress him! "

"Come on!!"

"Ukumori!!!"

"Meigong!!"

"Use your momentum to defeat him!!!"

The spectators on the court once again collectively put pressure on Qingdao, and they simply couldn't be too conscientious.

He was completely contributing to the defeat of the famous family! !

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

"The first goal is a straight shot from the outside corner!!!"

"Nice ball plum-chan!!"

“No one can hit this golf course!!!”

"Are you just wiping the edge of the strike zone?" Xiaochun's eyes widened, and the sea of ​​water could hardly cover them.

He didn't know if this was a coincidence or if the other party had really reached this level.

At this time, Mei Gong will not give him more time to think!

"puff!"

“…”     “Slow curveball!!

However, with this ball path now, it is difficult to judge whether it is a good ball or a bad ball! "Xiao Chun thought to himself as he looked at the ball that was well above the edge of the strike zone.

Sure enough, the ball began to drop significantly.

"Ping!"

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Ah! Second baseman fly ball!!"

Seeing that he was directly caught, Xiaochun took a deep breath at home plate, adjusted his mood, and walked off.

"One out!!" Mei Gong shouted loudly.

"One out! Mei-chan!!"

"One out!!"

"Sorry! Immortal Lord!

Didn't even advance the bases! "Koharu, who was walking towards the bench, said softly when he passed by Sendao.

"do not mind!

Leave it to me next! "Xian Dao, who was rare in his concentration, didn't want to say more and walked up with a simple sentence.

"Xian Daojun is in really good shape now!

I didn’t lose my mind and focused on the game! "Xiaochun turned around and looked at Xiandao's back, thinking to himself.

"Four sticks!! Backbone, Xiandaojun!"

"Xian Daojun!!"

"Fight it out!!!"

With the appearance of Immortal Dao, a group of temporary defectors also appeared among the originally one-sided support.

Although they hope that Ukumori can stage a shocking reversal and want to see the king lose, it still does not affect their support for Sendao personally.

"Amazing!!

The moment Xiandao appeared on the stage, the atmosphere of the stadium changed! ! "

"As expected of an immortal!!"

On the Qingdao bench, Kanemaru and several other first years sighed one after another.

“Great look!

It looks like it will be a good showdown! Xiandao looked at Mei Gong's eyes full of fighting spirit and whispered.

"With one out and first base occupied, it's Sendō-kun's turn as the batter!

The game has finally reached the final critical moment!

In order to attack in the ninth game, Ukumori must control the loss in this game! "Owada Akiko said nervously.

"Ah!" Minefushio was no longer in the mood to say anything more at this time, and all his attention was focused on the duel between the two.

"In order for Sawamura to shoot more easily, we must score at least one point!

Immortal way!

It doesn’t matter in any form, just type it out! "Miyuki stared at the back in the strike zone and secretly said.

"Sa! Come on!" Xiandao, who was ready, said in a low voice. He only had Mei Gong in his eyes.

“This man is the spiritual pillar of this team!!

If you suppress him here, Qingdao will definitely be shaken! !

Only then can our momentum truly reach its peak.

Now I... can do it! ! "Mei Gong's eyes flashed.

"puff!"

"call out!"

Xiandao narrowed his eyes when he saw the incoming ball, and finally remained indifferent.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

The ball entered the catcher's glove less than ten centimeters from Sendō's body. It can be said to be a very dangerous ball.

“It’s too dangerous!!

Do you want to hit someone? ! ! "Sawamura shouted.

"Baga! It's not that close!" Kanemaru said to Sawamura.

"Hmph!" Umenomiya, who received the catcher's pass, showed a provocative smile to Sendao.

Xiandao looked at him expressionlessly and had a thought in his mind.

"It's very close! This ball!

This guy suddenly became extremely confident in his ball control!

Looks like you have to be careful and don't watch him off! "With this thought, Xiandao was ready again.

The range of the ball changes in Mei Gong is very large. From the perspective of Xiandao, the ball path is from outside to inside, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad balls.

And Xiandao's ball selection ability does not dare to let go of the changing ball easily. Even Xian Dao himself felt that it was a bit biased.

"Ignore those messy things! If you think you can hit him...just take action!!" When Mei Gong raised his leg, Xiandao made a decision in his heart.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"It works!! Mei-chan!"

"Suppress him!!"

"The timing is right! Immortal Way!!"

"Come on!!"

"Fight it out!! Immortal Dao!"

“The ball just now would have been a bad ball if I had watched it!!

One ball is bad and one is good!

Does Mei Gong have the upper hand in this duel? "Owada Akiko said after exhaling the breath she had been holding.

"You can't say that!

It’s not unusual for Sendō-kun to take action against a bad ball!

Whether he is shooting for a bad ball, or if he is being chased, he can only choose to shoot a bad ball that is difficult to hit or is inherently tricky.

As long as Xiandaojun is not definitely eliminated, we cannot take it lightly.

He is such a man!

If you relax even a little bit, all your efforts will be in vain. "Minefu Shifu replied.

"puff!"

"..."

"Ping!"

"The outside world!!"

"Another shot at a bad ball! This ball missed a lot!

My heart feels so uncomfortable! "Owada Akiko spoke again.

“The amplitude of this slow curveball is too exaggerated!

This state is interesting! ! ! Xiandao glanced at Mei Gong, who was in high fighting spirit, and chuckled in his heart, with a smile on his face.

“What a powerful heart!

You can still laugh at this time! "Mei Gong saw that smile and whispered.

"Chasing him!!"

"OK!!"

"Suppress him!!"

"Immortal way!!"

"please!!"

Amid the roars of supporters from both sides, Maynomiya threw the fourth ball.

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"It worked!" Mei Gong perked up when he saw that Xiandao's foul ball was flying behind him.

He could tell that Xiandao didn't intentionally hit the foul ball, which meant that the timing was no longer as accurate as before.

Xiandao closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths!

"It's a showdown here!" Xiandao and Mei Gong opened their eyes and said in their hearts at the same time.

"puff!"

"Here... I will decide against you!!

Use this guy...a powerful curveball! ! "

“Forget all the previous pitches!!

Take the ball when it comes! ! "Xian Dao's eyes flashed.

"call out!"

"Outer corner!"

"Pfft!" Xiandao stepped instinctively.

"I didn't take any action! I won!!"

"Boom! Ping!!!"

“At that moment, I really thought I had won!

But..., I was too naive! "Meigong opened her eyes wide.

"Boom!!"

"This guy...can't use common sense to judge."

At this moment, Mei Gong lost her voice.

“Go in...go in!!

Center field scoreboard...straight to the point! ! ! "

"Oh!!!"

"what!!!"

"Yo Xi!!! Yo..." Minister Ota also shouted excitedly and just wanted to continue to grab Sawamura's lines.

"Yo Xi! Yo Xi Yo Xi!!!

well! Yoxi yoxi! ! ! "Sawamura immediately took the initiative.

"Ukumori's continuous fierce attacks, chasing five points in a row, pushed the point difference to four points again in an instant!!!"

"Immortal way!!"

"You guy!!! You guy!!!"

"what!!!"

All the spectators on the court who were looking forward to Ukumori's reversal were temporarily speechless.

It's not that they think Ukumori is doomed, it's just that this basin of cold water is too exciting for them.

"It's so comfortable!!" Xiandao, a base runner, said happily as he listened to the temporary silence of the stadium.

This way of shutting up the audience is extremely comfortable for Xiandao.

However, when he spoke, he was right between the two bases and his voice was not loud. Others just thought he was enjoying the sunshine and victory.

“Nice home run! You bastard!!!

The supervisor asked you to fight him, but you didn't expect to fight him right away! ! "After returning to home base, Kuramochi jumped onto Sendō's back excitedly.

Others gathered around, shouting in celebration.

Soon after the celebration ended, Sendō looked towards the field and looked at Umemiya on the pitcher's mound.

"Humph!

What you mean is that if I can catch up, I will chase you and show you...what? "Mei Gong saw Xiandao's eyes and chuckled.

It didn't look like I was shocked at all, but rather I felt like I had accepted the challenge.

"Sure enough, this person is very interesting!" Xiandao saw Mei Gong's performance and thought highly of him.

Regardless of why Mei Gong fought, the fact that he can show this expression now is very worthy of recognition.

"Don't think too much. The opponent's eyes are not dead yet, so he won't make any good shots at you because of it!" Sendao reminded in a low voice when passing by Miyuki.

"I can tell by his expression that he is really a good pitcher!" Miyuki nodded and agreed.

"But Sawamura's condition is hard to say yet. I want to find a chance to score another point!!" Miyuki said and walked to the court.

Sendō can also understand Miyuki's worries. Although Sawamura can shoot inside and outside corners, he can sometimes be a ghost when controlling the ball.

If something goes wrong, Ukumori really can't say there is no chance.

Because if Kawakami is allowed to play in a crisis, his condition will be even more difficult to reassure people.

"But that guy Eijun..." Sendao glanced at Sawamura and chuckled.

"Five sticks! Catcher, Miyuki-kun!!"

“Mei-chan!

Let’s solve it one by one! ! "

"Do not worry!!"

"Ukumori!!"

"Meigong!!!"

By this time, the audience had recovered from Sendō's blow. Seeing that Ukumori was still full of fighting spirit and full of momentum, they couldn't help but cheer high again.

The stadium has once again restored its previous atmosphere. In the eyes of everyone, they still admire Ukumori's spirit, which is in line with the fearless spirit of young people.

The special game has reached a truly intense stage. Whether Mei Gong can suppress Qingdao's follow-up attack will largely determine whether there is a chance in the ninth game.

Especially at this time, Qingdao's follow-up hitters are not easy to deal with. They may suddenly hit one out at any time.

"We still have to compete with the batter!" Owada Akiko exclaimed.

"what!

Xiandaojun's attack didn't seem to shake their momentum.

But if the subsequent hitters still cannot be suppressed, the momentum that finally broke out may really be suppressed.

Maezono-kun in the back performed very well today!

And now it’s just one out! "Mine Fujio explained.

　I paid two thousand more today, so I still have a shortfall of three thousand.

　　Please vote for me and go to sleep
