Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

Ming looked at Tanba who was finished and sighed: "You can really hold on! I thought he would be beaten worse!"

Yasang said matter-of-factly: "Why do you need to say that?! We are not the only ones who have worked hard and grown during this period!"

Then he warned: "I will ask you to throw more change-up balls in the next game. In the second half of the game, let them leave a deeper impression on this ball."

"I didn't expect you to have a fierce look on your face, but you are still thinking about it!" Ming teased Yasang cutely.

"Stop blabbering!" Yasang felt the veins on his forehead popping for a moment.

"We have to defeat all their efforts. If we don't have such a firm will, we won't be able to stand on that stage!" Yasang said seriously.

"Hmph, just knock down everyone who blocks the way!" Ming Ba said angrily.

At the beginning of the first half of the sixth game, Inami attacked first, and the score was tied 2-2. Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable.

The first hitter was Sansan, a three-bat hitter, who was struck out by Ming. Although the second hitter, the four-bat Zhetai, hit out, he was defeated by the perfect fielding of the Scud Carl Ross.

Kurosawa wasn't surprised when he saw three or four consecutive outs on the field, but something else made him even more confused. At the beginning of the inning, Ming threw change-ups continuously.

Did Inami's shooting and catching team suddenly change their ball-matching strategy at this time? Obviously, he only threw four change-ups in the previous five innings, but now he has thrown them three times in this inning alone.

"Five-base third baseman Masuko-san!"

Kurosawa looked at the change-up ball that Masuko hit as a fly ball. Although it was caught by the opponent's defense, he also learned the truth! So that’s it, it turns out you can’t fully control your weapons! Well, it’s just for us to take it out now to enhance our impression of that change-up ball, so that your pitching will be more intimidating and your ball distribution will be more flexible!

However, Kurosawa did not tell his guess right away, because he had to go on defense again with three outs! Of course, even if we say it, everyone may not be able to get on base and hit, but it is a good idea to let Ming use his full strength early!

Yasang on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't expect that the last ball had an accident, which scared me to death, but this way they can remember this change-up ball.

He never thought that his strategy would be completely seen through by a man with terrible eyesight on the opposite side. So could this incident be the cause of Inomi's defeat?

In the bottom half of the sixth inning, Tanba-senpai was hit by a one-run hit by No. 4 Yasan, and Naru No. 5 sent Yasan to second base with a hit.

The bat came again to Yamaoka, who almost hit a home run against Tamba in the previous inning. Although the pitch was sharp, he still failed to adjust his ball control and walked four balls.

Now with one out on the field, there are people on first and second base, and it is the turn of the seven batters on the opposite side. This time, the hit ball from the opposite side was a flat hit that flew to second base and was directly caught by Liang Sang.

The eight-hitter swung the first pitch thrown by Dumbo and hit the ball directly, and the ball quickly passed between second and third base.

The people on the base started to run, but they didn't expect that the other person was already prepared. He predicted the position in advance and started running over. After catching the ball, he passed it directly to the home base, pinning the person who still wanted to run in place. .

This person was Kurosawa. After Kurosawa saw the path of the ball, he ran straight away. Although the bases were loaded, he almost didn't lose any runs!

Kurosawa made a two-out gesture toward the pitcher's mound, with one out counted. Come on, Tanba-senpai!

Two perfect defenses prevented Inami from scoring twice. Coupled with the draw on the field, Qingdao's momentum seemed to be picking up.

I didn't expect Inami to be so powerful in even the nine-stick attack, and the fight with Seido was really evenly matched! Unfortunately, Aomichi's defense was not weak. Although the ball was about to pass through the infield, the shortstop suddenly appeared and caught it with his bare hands.

After receiving the ball, Kuramochi ran directly to first base and scored the last out of the inning. Now Aomichi's momentum was directly on par with Inami.

After six rounds, the situation on the field was still tied at 2-2, and the momentum of both sides was not reduced by half. Ming's pitching was still strong, and Tanba's pitching was dangerous but still tenacious.

After Kurosawa returned to the rest area, he organized his thoughts and prepared to tell Miyuki and everyone what he had just observed. Although I don’t know if it is useful, at least it allows everyone to swing the bat without any scruples, although this is probably useless to Miyuki!

"Ichiya, I think you can give up on the idea that the opponent will turn around and change the speed when you hit the ball later. Don't be too affected by the ball. It may be easier to hit the ball."

"Eh?! Why?" Miyuki asked in confusion, Nanye discovered something again!

"Kurosawa, did you find something?" Chris suddenly remembered that he had forgotten that Kurosawa's dynamic vision was very abnormal. He had just made some guesses. It seemed that he should have seen something from Narimiya. . I really want to know if his thoughts are the same as mine, and I wonder if I can explain the reason to myself!

"Hey! That change-up ball still has a fatal flaw. Narimiya and the others probably won't throw it more. As for throwing it so many times in the last game, it was probably just to deepen our impression." Kurosawa slowly explained. , "As for the shortcomings, I think if the change-up ball is thrown too much, Narimiya's overall ball control will easily go up, just like the one hit by Masuko-senpai!"

"So we just need to see the ball and swing directly. Don't worry about the changeup. If he throws too many pitches, he will destroy himself. That's what I think. You have to decide how to hit it." Kurosawa He suggested while looking at everyone who was thinking.

"Well, that's right. I watched Daomi's past game videos and found that they never used more than 10 speed balls in each game." Chris also revealed his findings, "Although I didn't originally I know why they did it, but since Kurosawa saw it, it seems that it was for this reason.”

After listening to Kurosawa's explanation and Chris's intelligence, everyone in Qingdao also believed in their judgment. Kataoka directly announced: "Now that we are aware of this, there will be no breakthrough if we continue to attack in the same way as before. ! Let’s just give up the changeup ball and ignore it. Don’t hesitate, just see the right moment and swing with all your strength!”

In the first half of the seventh inning, although Miyuki ignored the changeup ball and swung the bat directly, Nai Heming still had too many types of pitches that it was impossible to guess what the ball was, and he was struck out directly.

Kurosawa looked ahead at Miyuki who was struck out by Naru again and thought helplessly! There is really nothing I can do against you! After all, your attack now really depends on fate!

For a guy like Ming who has a lot of ball skills, if no one gets on base, your brain is really useless! There is really no way to deal with it!

But if it doesn’t matter, I will hit it out. After all, I have seen it so many times at close range. As long as he does not evolve in this game, give me a little more time and I will hit your ball out. Just wait! Don't cry! Kurosawa thought silently.

Kurosawa hit another double in the face of Naru's fork ball at the seventh bat. This was his hit in three games. The first hit was a slider, the second hit was a changeup, and this time he hit it directly. A fork ball.

Ming, who was on the base bag, felt that he was really going to be pissed off by him, so he hit out again. When did his ball become so hittable? He was hit out several times, even with his newly learned change-up ball. It was really depressing to be let go.

Naru felt like his whole body was on fire, but Harada at home plate confirmed one thing after several hits, and that was the fact that Kurosawa could really see it.

If this kid had been stronger or had better hitting skills, Ming's ball would probably have been directly hit as a home run. However, the two quickly cheered up and used their defense to eliminate the eight-stick Danbo with one ball.

"Nine-bat right fielder Hakushu-kun!"

Hakushu may not have a strong sense of presence, but his strength is definitely not weak. He is a very well-rounded person, known as the silent killer. This time, after knowing that Ming wouldn't throw many change-up balls, he immediately let go.

"call out!"

"Bang!" Hakushu hit the first straight ball that came towards him without hesitation. The ball passed through the third baseman and flew to the outfield. Hakushu and Kurosawa began to run quickly.

Hakushu's success also made Seido more confident in hitting the line. It seems that the changeup ball is really a cover. However, Harada on Inami's side also found out through several trials that the Seido team gave up the idea of ​​​​just giving up the changeup ball and swinging with all their strength. .

"Okay~" This successful hit obviously made Baizhou himself very happy. For a moment, he couldn't help himself from roaring out and making a bow and arrow gesture.

Everyone in Qingdao was also shocked. After all, Baiju Senbei is a very calm person who can even hit a home run! But this also reflects from the side how intimidating Ming is on the pitcher's mound! (≧?≦)

A perfect scoring opportunity formed for Qingdao on the court, but it was also very dangerous! There are people on first and third base, but it's two outs. It depends on whether the next bat is an out or a bases advance.

Kuramochi, who was preparing on the sidelines, was extremely nervous. If he couldn't seize this opportunity, he probably wouldn't have another chance like this again. He had to fight it out!

Kataoka saw that Kuramochi was in a bad mood and called him aside. Harada on the court also called a timeout to comfort his ace who was now in a dangerous situation.

Inami and others in the infield walked to the pitcher's mound. Naru looked at the worried people who came forward and shouted unhappily: "You don't have to come!"

Harada moved closer to Heming and looked at each other: "I might lose a point!"

"I know! You're too close, your face is so big and scary!" Ming Aojiao said.

"What does it mean to have a big face?!" Yasang said unhappily.

"You are really shameless!" Ming said that what I said was all the truth, hum! The two stared at each other with childish expressions of unwillingness to admit defeat.

"The coach said that in this case, you will lose one point!" The caller said, "I am very worried about you being like this. I am embarrassed to interrupt you, but I don't dare to disobey the coach's orders!"

"I know!" Harada immediately returned to normal and said, "With two outs, Kuramochi's hits are usually from close range in the infield, but it is not ruled out that they will be long hits, so the infield is 50% forward, and the outfield is not forward. Be careful. Don’t force it! If you can get out the number of games, the game will be over!”

"Yes, the coach said so too. Now there is no need to bear too much burden in a draw. We will fight back if we lose points, but we cannot let them score easily!"

"Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮" Are you sure I will lose points? I feel so bad for looking down on me!

"Do you have any opinions?" Bai He said helplessly, looking at the expression on his ace's face.

"No! Huh! I just think it's all just as per the script! Let me say it first, the batter is under a lot of pressure!" Ming turned around and said arrogantly, "I think the opponent is also very anxious to win this point! That’s 60% for us!”

Then he pretended to be surprised by accident and whispered: "Oh! If it's just me pitching, then it will be 80% beneficial to our side!"

Inami and others felt that they were choked speechless for a moment by the narcissism of their ace, and a row of black lines were neatly drawn on their foreheads.

Ming was still speaking confidently with his hands on his hips: "Look, there is no crisis at all! Okay, let's dismiss! It's so hot, let's end this game quickly!" He waved his little hand impatiently, asking them to leave quickly. Pitcher's mound.

Everyone looked at his confident expression of not taking the opponent seriously, which really showed the dominance of the ace pitcher to the fullest! But isn't this just Ming Cai's unique and cute style? This is what makes him look like him! (≧?≦)

Because this kind of behavior also gives everyone a sense of security all the time, as if as long as he stands on the pitcher's mound, we have neither lost nor will we lose!

"Ming, it's best to be tricky with the first ball. Let's take the opportunity to observe the opponent's movements!" Harada warned.

"You're really annoying!" Harada interrupted Naru who was still complaining, "Let me say something, Naru!"

"This is my responsibility!" Harada said with a slight smile. Sure enough, it was Ya-san who had to subdue Ming! "In short, it would be great if we can directly deal with the first one. Otherwise, we have to stop the offensive at the second one."

"One-hit shortstop Kuramochi-kun!"

The game started again, and Kuramochi chose to stand on the right bench this time, staring closely at Naru in front, not daring to relax for a moment, praying in his heart that he would succeed this time!

Although Ming said it casually, he knew the current situation very well. He couldn't let the opponent score a point, absolutely not, he had to strike him out!

Ming, who was full of firepower, was really not just talking about it. Ming also responded to this situation with full energy. Unfortunately, the final tie situation did not change.

Kuramochi was struck out, leaving two bases on the base, and the situation on the field suddenly tended to shift to Inomi's side.
