Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

After two days, everyone gradually became familiar with this place. Everyone in Qingdao found a seat here as their daily gathering place. When they were bored, they ate, read TV and newspapers, and chatted leisurely!

Of course, the purpose of gathering here today is to hold a meeting. Everyone is sitting together chatting and waiting for the arrival of Coach Kataoka.

After Kuramochi arrived, he went straight to Miyuki's side and said, "The coach asked us to gather this time. Could it be that the target for the next game has come out?!"

"It should be so! After calculating the time, the result is almost there! And without a game, I always feel that sleeping is a bit of a waste! As a result, I don't even get much sleep!" Miyuki sighed and flipped through the newspaper helplessly. After all, don't look at it like this. In fact, I He is a passionate young man. It is really boring not to have a baseball game and not be able to train, and he can't cheer up!

Kuramochi rarely connected with Miyuki's brainwaves and echoed: "I understand! Some people have also gone back to Tokyo. Sleeping is a waste!"

"That's it!" Miyuki agreed with his face.

“There are also shows that you can’t see in Tokyo!”

"This is it!"

"Hahaha, you're laughing so hard! Are you two baseball idiots?!" Kurosawa, who was listening to the conversation between the two, couldn't help laughing, "You're so uncomfortable! This can't be done! Kazuya, Yoichi want to Get used to it! Whether it’s Spring League or next year’s Xia League, we still have two chances to reach Koshien!”

"Ha! You won't understand us!"

"You have no right to say this!"

The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. Miyuki complained to Kuramochi: "This guy is really adapted to this kind of life, because he was like this in Qingdao. When he first came here, he played games with his mobile phone. , I slept very well last night and got up very late this morning!”

"Yes, so it's impossible for him to know our troubles! This kind of person is really hateful!" Kuramochi agreed.

"You've actually started thinking about the next trip to Koshien. You're too ahead of yourself! You're not paying attention at all!"

"That's it!"

Kurosawa experienced the mixed doubles from the evil friend group for the first time in a long time. He found it very interesting for a while and suddenly became interested in chatting!

However, Kataoka showed up with Ohta and Takashima, and everyone immediately fell silent and began to listen to the speech.

"In the next game, the starting pitcher Kawakami, the reliever Sawamura, the catcher Miyauchi, the left fielder Itai you come, the second baseman Haruichi you come, the remaining pitchers also warm up and prepare to be on call at all times." Kataoka As soon as the coach finished speaking, it stirred up waves with one stone!

"Yes!" Kawakami didn't expect that he would start the game, and he was a little excited!

"I will definitely live up to the BOSS's wishes and ensure that I complete the mission!" Sawamura is always so positive!

"Boom!" Damn it! I want to play! Fang Gu opened his eyes and stared at Kataoka to express his thoughts, but was ignored!

"Brother!" Xiaochun secretly looked at Liangsang worriedly.

Ryousuke felt his brother's gaze and smiled knowingly, and said softly: "Come on! Haruichi!"

Xiaochun blushed and said: "Yeah!" Brother, I will work hard, you should watch carefully!

The second grade trio on the other side is not so warm! Kuramochi laughed and said: "Ah hahaha, you two are so miserable! Did you just fall out of the starting lineup?! Your positions have all been taken away by seniors!"

"You seem to be very happy, Yoichi!" Kurosawa said with a smile. Although he knew in his heart that as time went by, Tokai-senpai would be less able to play, so the supervisor made such an arrangement, he still felt very depressed! "Didn't you just say that you couldn't sleep well? I happen to be free from competitions, and I discovered that there are raw materials nearby here a few days ago! Do you need me to help you with your sleep? You agreed to drink Jianggu a few days ago. !”

"Hey! No need! I think I'm quite adaptable here, that's right!" I don't need your help, are you a devil? ! Kuramochi was sweating for a while.

"Yes! I highly recommend Yoichi!" Miyuki said with a sly smile. The combination just now collapsed instantly. It was indeed a group of evil friends!

"The later the games in Koshien are, the shorter the intervals are. A total of six games will be played in four weeks, and in the end it will definitely be two games a week, so we must rotate and ensure the players' condition at all times!"

Fortunately, the supervisor spoke up at this time, interrupting the two men's persecution of Kuramochi in time, and Kuramochi turned his grateful eyes to the coach.

It seemed like an explanation and it sounded very reasonable, but a few smart people immediately understood the purpose of the coach. First, it was a rare opportunity to train on the Koshien stage for the next second tour!

The second is to confuse the opponent and make the opponent confused. The later the intelligence is grasped, the more advantageous it is. The third is to give the third-year substitutes a chance to play in Koshien and be seen by more people.

Should I say that I am worthy of being a teacher? ! We are really thinking about the future of our students! It’s really hard for such a coach Kataoka not to be loved by his students!

But it also shows that this time the coach and our goals are the same, aiming for the championship!

With the new lineup arrangement, it naturally needs to be adjusted, so the afternoon rest time has been cancelled! Everyone went to the practice area to try out the new defensive lineup.

To be honest, it may not be able to deal with those veteran and powerful teams, but Qingdao's strength is still terrifying! It's just that without Miyuki and Kurosawa, the attack might be a little weaker. Of course, the ball matching strategy might also change a bit!

On August 12, the second round of Qingdao's battle began. The opponent is Kitagawa School, a representative team from Aichi Prefecture from the Shikoku region.

On this day, Koshien was packed with people. After the first game at Qingdao, everyone was attracted by Fang Gu’s fast ball and offensive line play. They were very much looking forward to the collision between the two powerful teams today. What will happen? What a stunning spark.

"Hoo ho! Is this a collision between famous families? Then let me see Qingdao's performance! After all, if you ask me to teach them techniques, then it means there are loopholes that need me to make up for!" A figure stood in the Koshien stands. The slightly fat and slightly short man squinted his eyes, touched the mustache on his chin, looked at Qingdao on the field with an incomprehensible expression and murmured.

Although I was invited as a technical director, if I didn’t contribute, my high salary would be in jeopardy! That's not possible, I still have to raise a daughter!

Beichuan Academy is a regular school in Koshien. It can be said that it is a team that often comes to Koshien but always gets stuck in the quarterfinals. This year, it also made a comeback with the goal of reaching the quarterfinals and entered Koshien again.

However, judging from the game video, the strength is still average! The defense is still quite strong, but the line is a bit weak, but the opponent's ace has some strength, and they didn't let the opponent score points on the field, but after all, that school is just a grassroots, and there is not much strength.

hum~

"Line up and salute!"

"Please advise!"

After the game started, Qingdao took the field first.

Miyuki and Kurosawa were sitting on the stools. They were so bored. It’s been a long time since they felt like substitutes! The same thought flashed through their minds.

After Miyuki adjusted his mentality, he looked at Sawamura who was working hard over there and said jokingly: "That boy Sawamura is really energetic!"

Sawamura was outside cheering Kawakami hard: "Kawakami, come on, Mr. Kawakami!"

"Hahaha, yes! But he's going to compete later, too! If you're bored, go catch him and practice shooting!" Kurosawa could see Miyuki's awkwardness at a glance, and Kazuya really couldn't rest for a moment. ah!

"Ah, why didn't I think of that! Let's go!" Miyuki walked up to Sawamura with a wicked smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ah! Hey! Why are you here, Miyuki? Why are you here to cheer for Mr. Kawagami?!"

"I'm a senior, right!" Miyuki complained helplessly, "Let's go, why don't you warm up! You'll be playing soon!"

"Hey! You are so proactive today. Is there any conspiracy?!"

"Oh, someone doesn't want to vote?! Then forget it! I'll leave first and go back!"

"Eh?! Don't leave, go warm up, go now!! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
