Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

On the seventh day of the camp, Aomichi High School played against Osaka Kiryu in a practice match. The starting pitchers Fukiya and Kurosawa also played as left fielders.

Before the game started, the coaches of the two teams came into the field to say hello and exchange player lists to prepare for the start of the game.

"Coach Matsumoto, I'm sorry to trouble you all to make this trip today! The summer games are coming soon, let's have a good game!" Coach Kataoka said respectfully.

Coach Matsumoto looked at the list of participants and said with a smile: "It's a good game, but the starter you sent is a first-year player! I think you want to make adjustments before the summer game! No wonder you want to try various things. , but they sent a first-year rookie to try to deal with us Kiryu. He must be a pitcher with endless potential! There is still a secret weapon that he doesn’t want his opponents in the same district to know about, and it was exposed during the game! Hahaha!"

"No matter what, we will enjoy the summer games!" Coach Matsumoto looked at the understanding coach Kataoka and thought he was still too young and lacked coaching experience! The two returned to the rest area.

"salute!"

"Please give me more advice!" The contestants from both sides bowed and began to take their positions after speaking.

In the first inning of Seido's defense, Furitani pitched as the starter on the pitcher's mound, which was still brand new. He thought about what coach Kataoka said yesterday: "It doesn't matter if you were beaten today, Furitani. Training must be very tiring, so there is no need to pursue it blindly." Results!” But obviously he didn’t take it to heart hahahaha! All he cares about is that he hasn't played a game in two weeks and must throw the ball hard to prevent others from hitting the ball, but obviously poor Gu Jiang was taught a hard lesson.

"Start!" the referee signaled.

"call out"

"Bang" the ball flew directly out...

After a while, Kiryu's side got three points.

The training camp here in Jianggu was exhausted. The harder I tried, the faster the ball became, and I couldn't control the ball well.

The ball either flew out directly, or the big bad ball was hit by no one. At this time, Shiang Gu was very unhappy but obviously didn't realize the problem.

Of course, Kurosawa, who is in the left field, is very unhappy now. He wants to end the game quickly and teach his disobedient junior a lesson, but he always gives back what he taught him as soon as the game comes. There is nothing more distressing than this!

In the Qingdao dugout, Manager Ohta felt extremely anxious. He reported to the supervisor and was directly told that he had to pitch five innings before he could leave the game.

After hearing this, Miyauchi remembered the question of Coach Kataoka in the meeting last night.

"How will you help those two first-year players with the ball in tomorrow's game?"

"I plan to use the power of the falling speed ball to suppress the opponent's line!" This was his answer.

And I still remember Miyuki's answer: "I don't plan to help Furiya match the ball. He should be very tired tomorrow. I think he will be beaten badly! That guy can have some ideas in his mind about how to match the ball. No. Now that his power is declining, I think we should let him understand the importance of controlling the ball!" I was shocked at the time, how cruel it is!

Later I heard Coach Kataoka saying: "Tomorrow's game, Miyuki, go and catch it! Your opponent is Osaka Kiryu. This game should be very tiring, so please bear with me!" I was very unwilling, but now I was watching the field. In the scene above, I realized that this is the difference between Miyuki and me!

"call out"

The ball flew cleanly with a "bang" sound. Kurosawa looked at the ball flying towards him and quickly chased after him. He looked at the ball as if it was about to fly out, but he fought hard to support Gu Jiang and jumped directly onto it. Wall raised his hand as high as possible into the air, held the ball in his hand, and landed a home run!

"It's okay Kurosawa! Don't do such dangerous things! Do you remember that you are a pitcher?" Isashiki stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Wow! That pitcher was saved by the fielding!"

"But who is that player! Why do I feel so unimpressed!"

Coach Matsumoto was envious of those skilled moves, and had no choice but to instruct the players to try not to hit the ball to the left field.

"Fang Gu!" Kurosawa didn't say anything this time and just wiped his neck with a smile.

Fukiya, who was on the pitcher's mound, trembled all over. Kurosawa-senpai was so angry that I pitched so badly!ヽ(`Д′)?

However, being anxious couldn't solve the problem. The ball was hit again and flew towards the pitcher's mound. However, Fangtani failed to catch the ball and flew past him. However, a figure rushed over quickly, caught the ball and turned around to pass it. To Kuramochi, who was running towards him, Kuramochi directly passed the ball to third base for a double play. The two of them really deserved to be called Aido's iron-walled two-player room! This tacit understanding is so cool! ?(?′3｀?)?

"Block...blocked!"

"A center field hit can actually be a double play?!"

"How could he catch that ball!" The audience exclaimed, but they couldn't compare to Sawamura's loud voice.

"Fly...fly! It turns out you are not just a fighting video game nerd! Kuramochi-senpai!" You are really brave! Aren't you afraid of being beaten? Hahahaha!

"Good job, Ryousuke-senpai!"

"That second-tier pair is invincible!"

The first game is finally over. I lost three points. I feel sorry for you, Bone-chan! But you still have to accept the sanctions hahahaha!

After finishing the game, Kuramochi complained to Ryosang: "My body is so heavy!"

Ryousuke smiled and patted his abdomen vigorously and said, "Everyone is good!"

When Fukitani came down panting, he heard Miyuki's laughter from beside him. He turned around and saw Miyuki smiling and saying, "The defense saved your two lives! I think your situation today is good if your score loss is within ten points." !”

"I won't lose another point!" Jianggu Huodao.

"Haha, I think you'd better talk to Nanye! He's here!" Miyuki mocked.

"Ah! I heard such a confident speech as soon as I came back. Fukitani-san is really admirable!" Kurosawa said with a smile.

Fukitani froze on the spot, turned around mechanically, looked at Kurosawa and murmured: "Kurosawa-senpai..."

"Huh? Why does Fang Gu already feel that he can take us away without our guards?! Then senior, I am really happy!" Kurosawa continued with a smile.

"But I will be angry if you give my teachings back to me right after the competition! Then please enjoy my version 8.0 and version 9.0 energy tea after the game, what do you think?"

"Ah?! Σ(?д?;) No problem Kurosawa-senpai, I will enjoy it!" Fukoutani was already in a state of shock.

"Puff puff puff puff puff!" Miyuki was watching the show happily.

"Why are you laughing during the game? Help him with the ball, just like Senior Chris!" Sawamura picked up Miyuki and started playing, but apparently he forgot one thing.

"Sawamura-san, you'd better let go of Miyuki-san! Huh?!" Kurosawa smiled and put his arm on Sawamura's shoulder, pressing down heavily.

Sawamura froze and quickly let go of Miyuki and said awkwardly: "Hahaha, Kurosawa-senpai was so handsome when he confiscated a home run today!"

"Uh-huh! Really? That's good. I rushed over without thinking at the time!" Kurosawa pulled Miyuki back to the rest area.

"You are too spoiled to Sawamura! Kazuya?" Kurosawa approached Miyuki and said in his ear.

"Hahahaha no! I just don't think it's necessary! Besides, he's a pitcher! It wouldn't be good to affect the game!" Miyuki explained.

"Really?! But Kazuya doesn't intend to help Feng Gu?" Kurosawa changed the subject.

"Hehe! You have seen it. I am not going to match the ball for him. Let him realize the importance of ball control! Although you taught him to practice the four-square grid, he completely lost control after the game was tired! There is no ball power and speed. If you can't control the ball well, you have nothing!" Miyuki complained lightly.

"Ah, that's right! It's not okay to forget everything I taught you!" Kurosawa said helplessly.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Minami! This time, that kid must understand the importance of controlling the ball!" Miyuki said with a sly smile.

"Then Kazuya, I'll leave it to you, Fang Gu! I can only narrow the gap between us in terms of strikes!" Kurosawa said with a faint smile.

"Ah! That Minamino one is Osaka Kiryu! You are so confident in playing the opponent's trump card!" Miyuki pointed at the court and joked. On the court, Kuramochi-kun has been eliminated with Aomichi's one stick!

"Hmph! Kiryu was the ace pitcher who experienced the Koshien championship, but he wasn't him at the time! There's nothing I can't do. Although I may not be able to hit well the first time, I can still hit well the second time!" Kurosawa Confidence said.

In the second game of the game, even though Kiryu Ace Kanagi's ball was very good, he still hit more than a dozen foul balls, forcing the opponent to walk himself into the bases.

At bat, Isashiki-kun swung the bat with all his strength and pushed the ball out. The ball passed through, sending Ryo-san to second base, and he was out.

Captain Yuuki would not let us down. He hit the ball hard and hit the left field wall quickly. Ryo-san went straight back to home plate. The blow is not on the same level at all, hahahaha, this should be a super high school level blow!

Five-stick Masuko-kun faced Tate-kun's change ball and hit a high fly ball, which was easily caught and the game ended.

In the second game, Xianggu still went his own way and was directly scored 4 points by the opponent. He was completely beaten!

The first player to come on the field in the second inning was Rokuta Miyuki, but everyone knew that there was no one on base╮(ˉ▽ˉ)╭

Seven-stick Baizhou hit a ground ball but was caught and killed! Eight-stick Kurosawa comes on stage. Obviously to others, although he is a second-year player, he is still a rookie!

Kurosawa watched Tate-kun's first pitch hit him straight away. The "bang" was so hard. He didn't expect Tate-senpai's ball to be so powerful!

The ball was an infield hit, and Kurosawa reached first base. However, Jiubi Furitani was a blind hitter, and the ball flew high and was caught! End of this game...

At the beginning of the fourth game, Fukitani was scored by the opponent as soon as he came on the field. We can see that the score between Aomichi and Kiryu is now 2:11 on the scoreboard.
