Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

The situation on the field suddenly became two out, with someone on second base. In the match between the two teams, the first one to win was Ukumori High School.

"Well done, Aga!"

"beautiful!"

Ukumori's side did not seem to be affected by the home run being blocked at all, and the atmosphere in the bench area was still happy and harmonious.

They are simply celebrating the fact that their team can win the first victory against Qingdao.

"Tch, what a pity." Mei Gong was a little unwilling, a beautiful three-point home run actually flew away like this.

"Change your mood first, the other party is Qingdao after all!" Nan Peng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said with emotion.

Although Nan Peng is not as famous as Prince Narimiya in Tokyo, his talent, especially his understanding of baseball, has been recognized by countless professionals in Tokyo.

Kurosawa appeared out of nowhere and had never been heard of before. However, as soon as he joined Qingdao, he directly entered the first army and quickly became famous throughout the country. He was also one of the important contributors to Qingdao's victory in the summer Koshien championship.

He actually wanted to compete with him, but unfortunately he could no longer compete with him on the court. Nan Peng looked at his legs that could not move with some loneliness.

But he quickly cheered up again. He believed that his friends would be able to fulfill this wish on his behalf. He looked at the joyful rest area on his side.

In the Qingdao bench area, Ochiai tugged his mustache severely, and he was indeed ahead! For the strong, the dark horse is the most annoying existence.

They are the ones you least expect. You don't know their bottom line or their trump cards. It's completely an information gap.

Just like the pharmacists of other teams at that time, they were completely caught off guard, and just like those who were teased before because they had no idea that Qingdao had Kurosawa's trump card.

"Did Shirotani just now be affected by the batter's momentum, so that his ball was too high?! His whole body weight was not pressed on the ball. He had already promised to use a quick finger ball to solve the batter. This ball was completely missed by him. Yeah!" Even though he was thinking this way, Ji Ochiai still analyzed it calmly.

Although the current momentum on the field did not fall to Ukumori's side because of Kurosawa's miraculous defensive performance just now. But if Fang Gu’s pitching continues to be like this, then that’s not necessarily the case!

But I think the captain will never let this happen again! Ochiai stopped talking and only looked at Miyuki who was standing in front of home plate.

Kataoka on the side just crossed his arms from beginning to end without saying a word, making people wonder what he was thinking right now.

But Ochiai guessed that he had absolute trust in the players, believing that they could adjust themselves and win the game without saying anything.

Sure enough, after a while, there was new movement on the court. Miyuki turned around and said hello to the referee, signaling: "Timeout!"

Then Miyuki led the infielders and ran towards the pitcher's mound.

Although everyone is still confused and confused, they can't believe that Fanggu's ball was almost hit a home run by an unknown person, and it was the longest hit.

However, everyone knows that the most vulnerable and unbelievable people now are not these people, but one of the parties involved, the pitcher Feng Gu.

You can imagine the blow he received. They didn't dare to say any more words of blame. Everyone chose to encourage and comfort him: "Jiang Gu, there is no one on the base now. Adjust quickly!"

Except for one person, that is Miyuki. Miyuki walked over menacingly, and everyone could see the terrifying power emanating from him at this time.

"Didn't I tell you many times to be careful again and again?!" Miyuki looked at Fang Gu beside him with cold eyes.

You were saved by Nan Ye just now! If it hadn't been for the off-field catch just now, it would have been impossible to lose just one point this time.

I don’t know if he is injured. I will take good care of him later. As a pitcher, he has no sense of protection. Is that action what the team's ace pitcher should do? Miyuki just felt like he was about to be blown away.

He tried to calm down. The most important thing now was the game. He must not lose this game. And this guy Jiang Gu, he really needs a lesson!

"And you put two runners on base for me, and you still throw this kind of pitch?! Do you really want to face off with Furitani?! If you don't listen to me anymore, get off the mound right away! ヽ( `Д′)?”

Several other people were also frightened by Miyuki, who was rarely angry, and did not dare to say anything at all. I can't believe that he would actually say such words at this time. Isn't he afraid that Jiang Gu will have an emotional breakdown? !

Everyone only dared to curse in their hearts! He was bombarded just now and was still in a very confused mood. What are you talking about?

Miyuki seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and said bluntly: "He can't understand the situation. Standing on the pitcher's mound represents the entire team. I think you should be very clear about what you are carrying and what you represent." !”

Dare Jiang Gu say that he couldn't understand? ! Don't dare to do it at all! How scary! The little animal's intuition told him that as long as he didn't listen to Senior Miyuki now, he would definitely let himself go directly.

The game restarted, and the situation on the field was that there was a man on third base and two outs. Qingdao was one out away, and the batter had five at-bats.

Miyuki signaled to Furutani that the runner was still on third base and that he could not be careless in any way. Furutani nodded obediently to express his understanding.

"out!"

After being threatened by Miyuki, Furitani immediately returned to normal and used his pitching force to suppress the fifth bat Kota, ending the first half of the first inning.

Three outs, the sides change sides.

The number of outs that seemed difficult to get just now was now achieved with just one ball. This game ended like this. Everyone was a little in disbelief. What did Miyuki just say? Was it so effective? !

"Okay! Three out, switch sides!"

"After losing points, I still managed to hold on."

"The game has just begun! The ball is in good condition today!" Obviously everyone has become accustomed to Fanggu's unstable start and thought it was just because he was out of form again.

On the way back to the rest area, everyone was thinking curiously, while a few people who had just heard Miyuki's training were a little stunned. It was really amazing!

Among them, Qianyuan suffered the greatest impact from the ground. He knew very well that the valley could easily become unstable, and he was originally worried about what would happen to him after being bombarded.

Then I thought of myself again. To be honest, I saw Fang Gu's straight ball being carried to the scoreboard. To be honest, I was also in a mess. If Kurosawa hadn't come to the rescue, I really didn't know what to do, but he...

But just relying on Miyuki's words, did he deliberately use harsh words to provoke him and stabilize Feng Gu's mood? ! Qianzono thought secretly.

But this is only part of the reason. The other part of the reason is that Miyuki does have the confidence to say so now.

Rather than letting a pitcher who doesn't listen to his own pitches and is affected by his own emotions stand on the mound and pitch, it's better to change to another pitcher!

After all, there is no shortage of pitchers in Qingdao now! The pitchers on the team are basically at the same level as Fang Gu, and each has his or her own merits.

Every pitcher cherishes his time on the court because he doesn't know how long he can pitch after he comes on the court and when he will be able to pitch next time. If your performance is not good, then go down and replace another one, and it will work just as well.

But Miyuki also knows that what Coach Kataoka wants to see more is the individual growth of the pitchers. After all, the coach has always regarded himself as their teacher first and then their coach.

He would not choose to let them end so easily. He would give them the opportunity to make mistakes and correct themselves every time. What's more, they have only lost one point now, and the purpose of the coaching staff is still to train troops.

Otherwise, it will be the turn of the conspicuous guy in the bullpen to pitch.

"It's not bad that I didn't get beaten any more, but I've finished warming up." Sawamura shouted, waving his arms.

Miyuki walked directly to Kurosawa, touched his hand and said, "Are you okay? Are you not injured? Do you know what you were doing just now?! How dare you climb the wall?! ”

Everyone listened to Miyuki's voice that suddenly became louder, and looked around when they heard the sound, yes! There is another one here. Everyone only thinks of Kurosawa's miraculous movements and forgets that he is a pitcher himself.

"Yeah, Kurosawa, are you okay?"

"How dare you do such a dangerous move!"

"Although he is very handsome, you should not do such a dangerous move next time."

"Don't forget that you are our ace now. It's just three points. Don't you believe that we guys can fight back?!!"

The crowd's words of concern kept coming, but Kurosawa never had a chance to speak. He is now unable to even utter a rebuttal.

Inside the Aomichi bench area, Kataoka folded his arms. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, it did not prevent Kurosawa from feeling the biting cold of the twelfth lunar month of winter.

"Are you not going to pitch anymore? I'm going to ask you to play left field, right?" Kataoka asked. She obviously wanted him to play left field, right? ! How did he get faster than Tojo in center field? !

"I'm sorry, coaches and everyone, for making you worry. I will pay attention next time." Kurosawa chose to apologize directly, and did not say that he had already predicted the path of the ball and acted with confidence.

There is no use explaining this now. Everyone is just worried about themselves. This doesn't mean you won't worry just because you are sure.

Then Kataoka did not favor one against another, and everyone could see his sharp eyes, and said: "The opponent is obviously well prepared and will not easily give us a chance to attack."

"Then we must not let go of every scoring opportunity. We must create scoring opportunities ourselves. We must show our Qingdao fighting style and counterattack. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Kurosawa watched Coach Kataoka finish his training, and quickly grabbed Miyuki, whose face was still ugly, holding his hand and begging for mercy: "I know I was wrong, Kazuya, don't be angry!"

Miyuki didn't want to talk to him at all at this time, so he just waved his hand and left. Do you think I can’t understand what you said to the coach just now?

Those kind of words that are misleading, don't you mean thank you for your concern, I'm very sorry for making you worry, but I will still dare you next time? ! ??? -? ? -? ??

Here in the Qingdao rest area, Kurosawa is still chasing Miyuki to beg for forgiveness, but no matter how much he promises, Miyuki doesn't pay much attention to him.

Miyuki said that there are three reasons for this kind of thing. I must leave a deep impression on him and teach him a lesson.

It’s really unforgivable that I let myself worry so much this time! And I also have to think carefully about why I care so much about this matter. My emotions seem to be affected a little too much by him!

In short, Miyuki's mind is very confused right now. No matter what the reason is, he doesn't really want to talk to Kurosawa! And now the focus is still on the game. In this game, Miyuki wants to win no matter what.

On the other side of the audience, everyone was discussing Kurosawa's magical off-field home run just now. There were endless words of praise, but some of them were discussing the scores between the two sides.

"It was Qingdao who lost points first." The fans said with some emotion. Qingdao's pitchers are already extraordinary, and there are not many situations where they fall behind at the beginning.

"We should be able to catch up soon. After all, Qingdao's attack power is not something that anyone can stop."

"I said, did you just record a video? Did any of you record such a wonderful scene?"

Not everyone is lucky enough to record such a wonderful scene. Many fans and fans regret that they did not capture this wonderful performance just now.

But also recording this scene were the intelligence agents from several other teams who came to observe Qingdao's combat power. Presumably after this game, Kurosawa's defensive level will make them more vigilant.

"I have it!" A fan holding a videotape excitedly raised his hands and showed off to everyone.

what? What? You actually photographed it? ! I’m so envious and jealous! (/TДT)/

The surrounding fans went crazy instantly and gathered around to look at the image that had just been taken. Everyone thought that the three points were a foregone conclusion, but most people didn't see clearly how Kurosawa did it.

Therefore, the wonderful scene was not photographed. When everyone noticed him, he had already raised his glove and successfully confiscated the out-of-field home run.

Now everyone can clearly see in the video that Kurosawa took action almost as soon as the baseball was hit. He first ran quickly towards the center field.

After arriving at the predicted location, he stepped on the wall, then jumped up using his strength, and immediately grabbed the iron pole with both hands.

Then he leaped over the railing. He put the ball firmly into his glove, seemingly very calmly, without any mistakes.

But it can also be guessed that time was very tight at that time. If he was just a little bit later, these three points would only be in Ukumori's bag.

Kurosawa's leap took only a few seconds. Everyone looked at the video as if he could fly. In short, it was very amazing.

The crowd in the audience burst into cheers again, and Kurosawa gained more fans. Everyone is looking forward to the next game even more.
