Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

"It's so miserable, Nanye. With all the first graders on the field, it seems like you really have no chance today!" Miyuki gloated.

"Isn't that great, Kazuya! It's better than you having no experience at all! You may be sent out again next time!" Kurosawa retorted with a smile, suddenly feeling itchy in his hands!

So I directly grabbed Miyuki's cheek with my hand and started to rub it. It was a bit easy to touch! Completely ignoring Miyuki's constant struggle and the accusation from his eyes.

"Kazuya, it's a bit cute! (≧?≦)" Kurosawa said with a smile.

After hearing this, Miyuki suddenly stopped moving, and Kurosawa let go of him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"

"No, I just got ready and went to talk to Sawamura about something!" Miyuki changed the subject with nonsense, and then left to find Sawamura. On the way, he patted his face and felt that his face was a little hot. I don't know why. What's wrong? It must be because Nanye was rubbing too hard just now and was rubbed red.

Kurosawa was left with a confused look on his face. What happened to Kazuya? Why did he want to find Sawamura? Shouldn't he have prepared a strike first? ! Forget it, there must be something else going on!

Liang Sang on the court looked at the opposing pitcher with a smile. No matter how good your condition is, you will still suffer if you keep throwing the same pitch! As he thought about it, he hit the ball mercilessly, and he quickly ran to first base.

Even though Jun Sang, who had hit three bats, felt that he had found the right time to hit the ball, he still failed to hit the ball well. He hit a flat ball to left field and was caught out. He could only return to the dugout with tears in his heart to tell Azhe. come on.

The four-base team, however, hit the ball out without any surprise. The ball passed through the infield, and a great situation suddenly formed on the field, with one out and people on second and third base.

Although it was a bit risky to face off against the five-bat Masuko, compared to the matchup against the six-bat Miyuki with the bases loaded, Xianquan chose to show his fighting spirit and fight him directly to win or lose.

The players on the Qingdao base looked at each other and decided to hit and run. Even though Masuko only hit a ground ball to second base, Ryosang rushed toward home plate without hesitation.

Liang Sang watched the opponent's catcher actually block the base, but he did not give up. His thin body contained huge energy. Full of momentum, he rushed over and chose to fight with him!

At the critical moment, the ball in the opponent's catcher's hand fell out of his glove. Aomichi scored one point. Tetsuo also took the opportunity to go to third base and hit Kazuya Miyuki.

Although Qingdao scored a point, Liang Sang's foot was injured because of this action. I don't know whether he is happy or sad! Qingdao's luck is really that bad! ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

Kurosawa looked worried amidst the cheers. Was Ryosuke-senpai's collision just now really okay? ! If it is true as he thinks, then Qingdao will be too unlucky! The probability of injury is too high!

Kurosawa watched Ryo-san walk to the bench to rest as if nothing had happened after finishing. He couldn't help but sit down next to him and said, "Senior Ryo-suke, your leg was injured in the collision just now!"

Ryousuke was also surprised, he didn't expect to be discovered, but he quickly said as if nothing happened: "If you think abrasions count!"

However, Kurosawa looked at him with an expression that was basically positive. However, it was clear from his expression that he did not want to end up, so he said helplessly: "Senior, if there is an accident during the next round of defense, I will tell the supervisor. I still leave this matter to the supervisor." It’s up to the supervisor to decide, seniors don’t want everyone to be unable to go to Koshien due to their own reasons!”

"Hmph! If you think I can't defend and am dragging down the team, you can always go and talk to the supervisor!" Ryousuke said with a smile, muttering to himself that this junior is indeed as unlovable as Miyuki, and Kuramochi is cuter.

"Then I'll just assume that there's nothing wrong with the senior's legs for the time being! I hope the senior isn't trying to be tough." Kurosawa said lightly. Although I understand the mood of the third-year seniors, I will never allow accidents to happen this time. This time I must be with Yi Yi. Also go to Koshien.

"Yeah! Of course I know this!" Ryosuke gave Kurosawa a knife without mercy, no big deal!

Kurosawa looked at Ryo-san and thought, Hey! As expected, I was resented, and I was in trouble! But I don’t regret it!

As expected, Miyuki was walked again on the field, but it also made the pitcher even more impressive. He struck out seven-bat Itai mercilessly, and the inning was over with one out.

Coach Kataoka called a timeout and chose to replace Koharu here to hit. In the next inning, Sawamura was going to pitch.

Supervisor Ukai looked at the batter who was being chased by two strikes and was very surprised that the substitute assigned by Coach Kataoka was Kominato instead of Kurosawa.

I just thought that in this conference, he had only two hits in two dozen games, and his hitting rate was 100%. Although there is very little information, his striking talent is still quite high! But this kid can't hit a long hit. A hitter like this just needs to suppress him with a straight ball. Use your strength to knock him out!

Haruichi Kominato is very optimistic about Kataoka, a first-year player, because his batting average is 100%, just like Kurosawa's.

Although he appears to be too petite and unable to fight for a long time, in fact this is just a confusing illusion. If anyone really thinks so, they will suffer a big loss! Just like the supervisor opposite, this idea! ╮(ˉ▽ˉ)╭

However, there are pitchers from Senquan High School who are too proud, thinking that the opponent is only a first-year player and is too young, so he ignores the coach's order and throws his own winning curve ball to decide the winner with the batter.

"call out!"

"boom!"

After Xiaochun saw the path of the ball, he used the power of his waist rotation to take the ball out. The wooden bat accurately hit the core of the ball, and the white ball turned into a beam of light and flew towards the left field.

Sensen's left fielder did not expect Koharu to be able to hit a long hit, so he did not catch the ball because he was relatively shallow. The ball bounced off the ground and flew out. Tetsuidai and Miyuki ran past home plate.

Xiaochun quickly ran to second base, made a signature move on the base bag, raised his right hand with a red face! (/w＼)

Koharu's substitute play was very successful, helping Seido reverse the score in one breath. Now Seido is 3 points ahead of Sensen, and Sawamura can relax and throw without any pressure.

Standing on the pitcher's mound, Sawamura thought that he must not embarrass himself in front of his friends, so he threw four bad balls and walked the opponent's batter.

"Four bad balls!"

"what!"

The panicked Sawamura and his friends who were stunned on the sidelines were left behind, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a time. ╮(ˉ▽ˉ)╭

"This is terrible, the first batter must not be walked to get on base!" Sawamura quickly forced himself to calm down and said: "No matter what, I have to calm down!" and began to take a deep breath to relax.

"Do it before you go on stage!" came the accurate complaint from his brother Kuramochi.

Miyuki looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound speechlessly, thinking that you can't pitch without making a fool of yourself!

Kurosawa looked at the scene on the court and found it very interesting. He decisively took out his mobile phone and silently took pictures. This interesting dark history must be well preserved. After all, these two great pitchers will not have such scenes in the future. ! ?(????)

"call out!"

The batter assumed a short stance, but changed to a long stance when striking.

"Bang!" The ball was hit and run. Although the ball was not hit well, it still passed directly past the second baseman who wanted to make up for it. It can be seen that this time Liang Sang's movement was obviously slow for a moment and he missed it. The timing directly put the batter on first and third base.

Kurosawa looked at this scene and scratched his hair in distress. It seemed that the impact of the leg injury was much more serious than the abrasion in Liangsang's mouth! So let the seniors finish the game, or should we talk to the coach directly now? Such a troublesome thing!

Kurosawa thought about taking a look and then decisively took pictures of Sawamura's series of shameful actions on the field. The game started again, and the batter hit the ball towards second base again. Liang Sang still failed to intercept the ball this time, and the batter ran back to home base.

So I made up my mind and went to coach Kataoka. It would be better to get treatment early. If this continues, the injury may get worse. The senior should not want to miss the game with Inomi! Kurosawa thought silently.

"Coach, I think I need to report something to you. Senior Ryousuke probably injured his leg when he collided with catcher Sensen at home plate just now." Kurosawa said bluntly.

The rest area suddenly became quiet, and Xiaochun was confused. Is his brother injured? ! Everyone looked here and couldn't believe that such sudden bad news had happened to them again.

"According to your judgment, how bad is the injury?!" Kataoka did not doubt Kurosawa's vision but wanted to know whether he could be allowed to leave the game after the game. After all, it is the coach who knows the players best. Now let him leave immediately. I probably won’t be willing to do that.

"I think it's not serious now. It's just the body's instinctive protection that makes Ryosuke-senpai's movements slow down by half a beat. But it's only for this round at most. If we finish the game at the end, it may be more injuries!"

"Well, contact the hospital directly. We will send him to the hospital after this round. Xiaoharu, you go with your brother later, and Kusunoki, go warm up and get ready to play!" Kataoka immediately decisively issued a solution, his eyes scanning a worried face. Xiaochun said.

"Yes!"

After Kurosawa saw that things were developing as he wanted, he immediately ran away. You might be killed by Ryousuke-senpai's eyes when you come back, so hurry up and hide in a corner!

On the field, Sawamura has passed the dangerous period and improved again. Although he was hit by two home run-like foul balls, he also won a number of strikes.

The last ball was thrown to the opposing pitcher, and he threw the best ball after his evolution. He formed a diagonal throw and caught the opponent off guard, and solved the opponent forcefully. Fortunately, Miyuki caught the ball because the ball was curved, otherwise it would have been doomed!

He successfully defended the inning and got off the pitcher's mound with everyone cheering. As soon as I returned to the rest area, I heard Coach Kataoka say: "Minato-chan, go to the hospital!"

"Eh?! What's wrong, brother!"

"what?!"

"It's that home plate collision, damn it!" Everyone was stunned, and the smile on Liangsang's face disappeared. He quickly looked around and saw no one, but he guessed it, which was pretty good!

"Yes!" Liang Sang quickly gathered his emotions and found Nanmu immediately, smiling and saying: "Then I'll bother you, come on!"

Miyuki looked at Kurosawa, who had never appeared, and guessed the whole story. He quietly walked to the corner and found the person.

"You're hiding here! You told the coach, right?" Miyuki said with a smile. Kurosawa pulled him down, covered his mouth, and whispered in his ear: "Be gentle, Liang-san is gone!" "

"Let's go, you are too careful! Senior A Liang won't really do anything to you!" Yu Xing said speechlessly, taking his hand down and holding it in hers.

"Hmph, I'm just afraid of seeing the look in his eyes, okay? Drive someone out of the field who wants to die standing on the field rather than off the field. Even if you know it's for his own good, he won't be happy. Yeah! ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ" Kurosawa thought it would be better not to get in front of that person now!

"Okay, don't worry! This is for us to go to Koshien together! I know, and I think the senior also knows it very well, so relax!" Miyuki comforted her gently, "But if you encounter senior A Liang these days, Please be mentally prepared for the persecution, hahahaha!" As expected of you, Miyuki, you can't be gentle for three seconds, absolutely!

"Haha, you forgot that you and I have always been together! Do you think Ryosuke-senpai will be involved?" Kurosawa looked at the stunned Miyuki with a smile and touched his face to comfort him: "It's okay, Ah-Liang-senpai." He’s a good person!”

Come on, hurt each other! How could I be the only one injured! Just be sure to bring another Kuramochi with you when the time comes. The two looked at each other and confirmed that the other party had the same idea as themselves.

In the seventh inning, Sawamura held on to the score steadily, and Qingdao's line blossomed and scored three points in one inning, allowing Xianquan's ace pitcher to retire.

Sawamura handed over the baton to Kawakami at the beginning of the eighth inning, and both sides maintained the score. In the first half of the ninth inning, Senquan scored another point.

In the second half of the ninth inning, Kawakami also lost a point. This must be the courage of the third grade opponent! However, this time Kawakami was not overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum and firmly maintained the situation. In the end, Seido won the semi-final with a 5-point lead and won the ticket to the final.

"The game is over! Salute!"

"Thanks for the advice!"

So far, Aomichi's current arrangements are all expected. Whether it is to rest Furitani and Sawamura or to let the ace adjust his condition, as long as Ryosuke recovers before the next showdown with Inomi, everyone can put together the best lineup. Fight against Inashi.
