Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

"Seven-bat left fielder Kurosawa-kun!"

No one was out, and there were people on first and second base. Just now, the ace had walked six batters, and now there were seven more batters with home run ability. Baoming was almost desperate for pitching and catching.

At this time, Coach Itamoto in the dugout made an unexpected move to signal the catcher to call timeout again and requested the decision to replace players on the field.

"Homei High School changes players, left fielder Yamada-san comes off, pitcher Isa-san switches to left field, and pitcher Ito-san comes on!"

"Eh?! Baoming changed pitchers so soon?!"

"Yeah, but I didn't let Ace go up. I guess I wanted him to calm down, right?!"

"But there's still no one out now. Is the pitcher Baoming just came up okay?!"

"Yes, not everyone can solve this kind of situation!"

"But Qingdao's line-playing is too good, isn't it?!"

"That is to say, these are six at-bats, and all of them are on base! It's really amazing!"

"As expected of the one from West Tokyo, we must not underestimate him!"

"That's right!"

Kurosawa stood on the batter's box with a smile on his face, his whole aura bursting with energy, his eyes fixed on the pitcher, his eyes getting sharper and sharper.

I kept complaining in my heart that I was really unhappy! You obviously want to hit that butterfly ball! Damn it! It's really exciting to replace a new pitcher at this time! But it doesn’t matter. If it explodes, you can only replace it, right? ! Anyway, the ace is still on the field!

"Whoops!" Oh? He actually threw a changeup on the first pitch? ! Interesting! But I can see it clearly!

"Bang!" After a nice crisp sound, the ball was completely bitten into the core and drew a perfect parabola in the air that hit the scoreboard.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Hit it out, hit it out again!"

"Another three-run home run, isn't Seido's line too strong?!"

"Do all seven bats have the ability to make home runs?!"

"How good their line play is!"

Kurosawa slowly ran back to the home base, and his 140-degree fork ball was far worse than Naru and Fukiya's ball path. He couldn't deal with me at this level!

"Minamino is playing too well, isn't he?! That pitcher just now threw a forkball, right?! You hit it out the first time you saw him?!" Miyuki said in surprise.

"Ugh!"

After Kurosawa gave the two a victory high-five, he returned to the rest area. After listening to Miyuki's doubts, he explained: "His ball path is not sharp enough. I hit it when I saw it! The ball speed is far different from Bi Naru's and Furiya's." Just 140 is not very fast!”

What he said directly offended everyone! Even though he sounds handsome, he feels very reliable! But it’s really hateful! 140 is considered slow, but I really hate these naturally talented people the most! The same sentence came to everyone's mind.

The classmates in the rest area gnashed their teeth. The third-year seniors took advantage of him. They decided to give him some love from the seniors in the worst year!

"Hahaha, you are really powerful, aren't you?!" Chunsang stretched his evil hands to Kurosawa's hair.

"Ah! It's really reliable!" Liang Sang said with a smile. If you didn't look at the sinister expression on his face, his expression would be completely exposed!

Miyuki was smiling very happily next to her. Nanye must have been punished by the seniors for speaking too frankly! (?w?)hiahia

But it’s really awesome! The first time I saw it, I could swing the bat without hesitation. If I were to say it, I might just stand still! I am indeed still far behind! Miyuki thought silently.

Kuramochi next to him also had the same idea, which was really frustrating! There is a guy in the same grade who can hit hard! How abominable! If I can't get on base, my footwork is useless. Sure enough, it’s still far behind!

"Hey Jianggu, have you finished the attack?!" Kurosawa asked, are you going to end so soon? ! It’s actually changing the topic! Thank you for your hard work, Daigu!

"Yeah, it ended so soon? Didn't I pay attention just now? What's going on!"

Kurosawa took the opportunity to escape and came to Miyuki's side to watch Hakushu's attack on the field. He heard the person next to him joking: "You were actually very unhappy when you attacked just now!"

"Eh?! You can see that I'm unhappy?! Then do you know why?" Kurosawa was very surprised as to how Miyuki knew about it and asked curiously.

"You want to hit the opponent's ace's butterfly ball! Yesterday, I saw that you really wanted to hit it!" Miyuki said, you can't see through me every time, wouldn't I be very embarrassed? !

"Eh?! Kazuya, are you observing me?!" Kurosawa asked curiously, how strange! Why are you so interested in me all of a sudden? !

"Uh-huh! Catchers should understand pitchers, right?" Miyuki retorted.

"Eh?! That seems right!" Kurosawa remembered that Miyuki knew him very well in his previous life. He knew what I was going to do with just one look, and he always cooperated with me very well!

However, the thoughts in Kurosawa's mind were quickly disrupted. At the end of the round, it was time to switch to Aido's defense! Miyuki next to me also looked happy, but actually she didn’t see through it! It was just a guess. I didn’t expect that I guessed it right! If I keep asking further, I will be exposed directly. Fortunately!

Although he was hit with a home run on the field, his subsequent pitching was frightened after he solved the problem. He knew that his pitching was useful and he pitched with determination.

On the field, Hakushu hit a tying ball and was caught by Homei's third baseman. Later, Kuramochi failed to hit the fork ball well and was caught by the pitcher.

"End of the first game, exchange offense and defense!"

"It's finally over! It took so long! I almost thought this pitcher was going to explode! But they lost 7 points in the first inning. Can Baoming and the others still catch up? It won't really happen in five innings. Is the game over?!”

"I think it's very possible! They couldn't even touch the ball in the last game!"

Once Jiang Gu enters the state, he becomes invincible! Just like now, I started the second game and scored 3 kills without anyone touching the ball. The ball speed is still rising slightly, which shows that I am already in good shape.

In the second half of the second inning, Demon batter Ryosang was the first to enter the game. He saw that there was no one on the base. So he chose to start the strategy of killing the pitcher's pitches, hitting every ball mercilessly into a foul ball. After about ten pitches, he was satisfied with the pitcher's four foul balls and was walked to first base.

This time, Mitsuba Junsang selected a low ball in the inside corner and hit it hard. The ball passed through the infield again.

For situations where there were people on first and second base, the team was very reliable and used a strong right field flat hit to send Liang Sang back to home plate.

Qingdao scored another point, but unfortunately the opponent's pitcher was able to handle it better than expected! Surprisingly, Masuko-senpai didn't play well, but he has never been very good at changing balls! Not surprising either!

"Six-stick catcher Miyuki-san!"

It's six bats again in the batting line, one out, and there are people on second and third base, the best time to score. If the pitcher doesn't blow himself up, no one is more reliable than him!

Miyuki looked at the pitcher in front of him and wondered what pitch he would pitch at this time! After being beaten out so many times, you must really want to regain your self-confidence! Then bet on your fork ball!

"Phew!" Miyuki swung the bat without hesitation!

"Bang!" The metal bat hit the core of the ball accurately, drew a parabola in the sky and landed in the left field stands.

Miyuki watched the ball fly out and ran the base calmly. Hey, he was so lucky. He hit it perfectly!

"Miyuki played well!" Team Zhe praised, high-fiving Miyuki.

"Haha, you've taken all the sweetness out of me!" Chun Sang said fiercely.

Baoming's pitchers are not weak, otherwise they would not have been able to reach Koshien continuously, but it can only be said that there is still a gap in strength! Not to mention that it is much worse than Cheng Gongming from the same district, but it is also much worse than the opponent Jiang Gu! After all, Jiang Gu's ball control is fast and his ball control is not as good as Mingchuan's Yang Shunchen. It can only be said to be a pity!

Coach Sakamoto is also very helpless at this time! But there is nothing we can do, 11 points! There is no way to make up for this obvious gap in strength, and the next bat has already hit a home run, so it cannot happen again.

I can only hope that I don’t lose too badly! So he decisively called timeout again and signaled the replacement pitcher to put the ace on the mound.

"Seven-bat left fielder Kurosawa!"

Kurosawa raised his eyebrows and looked at the pitcher on the mound seriously. Unexpectedly, he actually replaced the ace! It’s only the second game! I don’t know how your recovery is going? !

I hope it won’t be too easy to fight! After all, the butterfly ball is more interesting because of its erratic path! Even I don’t necessarily play well! After all, it is quite a challenge to see and analyze it instantly at hand! So interesting!

"call out!"

"boom!"

"Foul ball!"

It’s so hard to fight! He has fully recovered! Shouldn't it be said that he is the ace of the team that has made it to Koshien? ! Sure enough, it’s not that explosive! Butterfly ball is really hard to hit! So fun!

"Out of bounds!" Oh, yeah, it's a little slow!

"Out of bounds!" is so funny! This golf course is much more interesting than mine!

"Out of bounds!" It's really hard to hit!

...

After fighting for more than ten pitches, Kurosawa was finally forced to walk to first base. Kurosawa was extremely unhappy and did not play out happily in the end! But forget it, I finally saw such an interesting golf course! Although it’s not that mature yet!

After that, the ace did not let Qingdao add another score, quickly dealt with the batter, and held on to the game desperately. After that, the opponent's Homye Ace gradually stabilized, reflecting the resilience of Koshien's pitchers.

Of course it has no impact on the outcome of the game! In the end Qingdao won the game. Baoming's ace pitcher endured Qingdao's violent hitting until the last three innings, and then Qingdao's hitting came into full bloom again. The ball was hit one after another, and finally opened up a 20-point gap in the score. Gradually it calmed down.

It is indeed Koshien! For those of us competing on the court, every move we make can make the stands boil, and these cheers also make our emotions become higher and higher! This cycle goes on and on, the adrenaline hormones surge and I am completely excited!

No matter who the opponent is! We all have only one goal and that is to stand at the top of the country! Everyone in Qingdao once again determined this goal.

It is worth mentioning that Kurosawa did not blast out the butterfly ball that he had been longing for in the end! Only one hit was allowed in each round. This is probably one of the few loopholes he has to attack! Maybe it’s because I’m not lucky enough today hahaha!

But today’s Daigu is the most worthy of praise! The condition is really great! Although he only pitched four games, he kept a clean sheet against his opponents! It’s really extra reliable when it’s reliable! But creatures like pitchers will self-destruct from time to time to speed up evolution!

The little angel off the court looked at the happy Jiang Gu and was very unhappy and said: "Most of your shots are bad shots! You have to control the ball! You still have to control the ball!"

Anyway, whatever Jiang Gu didn’t want to hear, it was just because Meng covered his ears and thought he was deaf!

It is worth mentioning that Tanba-senpai seemed to be more confident in this game, and his pitching condition gradually improved, allowing only one run in three games.

In the end, the supervisor left two rounds for Sawamura to close down, which was really surprising! But it's normal to think about it. After all, Kawakami is still behind him, and the score difference is so big that he can't let more first-year players try.

Sawamura himself often surprises us. He made a huge fall on the pitcher's mound in his first appearance. He blushed like an apple. It seems that children still know how to be embarrassed!

But this is really not something that ordinary people can do. How excited must you be! If this really keeps up, if you don't have an accident every time you play, I will wonder if you are stupid!

Although he suffered a big loss, he still produced excellent pitching results. He used his special posture and strong inside corner shots to firmly hold the score without losing any points.

hum~

With the sound of an air defense siren, the game officially came to an end. Qingdao ended the game early in five games in the first game and won the first victory in Hajia with excellent results to advance to the next round.

"salute!"

"Thanks for the advice!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Sawamura didn't change his embarrassing behavior at all! The crazy boasting mode started again, and he was dragged away directly by Kuramochi behind him!

After the game, everyone in Qingdao stood on the Koshien field and enjoyed the treatment that only the winner of each game can get, singing the school song!

As the radio sang:

Shining hope is the fresh grass blowing in the wind,

Walk this journey side by side with friends!

Don't hesitate, go ahead!

Ah! Qingdao!

Ah! Qingdao!

Of course, among them are those who fish in troubled waters! For example, our Kurosawa and Daigu are both working hard on lip syncing!

Of course, Jiang Gu may be the only one who is panicking! Kurosawa himself is very calm, with no flaws at all except that he can't hear his voice at all!
