Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

"Notice of player change from Seido, pitcher Kawakami-san comes off the field and is replaced by pitcher Sawamura-san!"

"I'll let them keep hitting the ball, and I'll leave the defense behind to everyone!" Sawamura yelled after taking a deep breath to calm down.

"Ah ha, you kid, relax and shoot!"

"Eijun tell them to hit me, I will catch them!"

The infield defense gave him support one after another. Sawamura was obviously more relaxed this time and did not directly cause trouble like last time!

What a pity! I had no chance to take pictures of famous scenes when I was on field duty! Why don't you go back and ask the manager if they took the photo? This will be a very memorable memory!

After Miyuki came back from the bullpen, he saw Kurosawa looking at Sawamura with a wicked smile on his face and jokingly said: "Are you thinking of another bad idea?"

"No! I was just thinking that the manager didn't know if there was a video of yesterday's game!"

"Eh?! There should be! Then why were you laughing just now!" Yu Xing said unexpectedly, it's nothing!

"Well? I just want to keep Sawamura's appearance card. It's very interesting! That special opening!"

"Hahaha, that's it! It's very interesting! I almost fell down laughing at home plate yesterday! After you save it, give me a copy too! How about saving it for the next class of students to watch?!" Miyuki said with a sinister attitude. smiled.

"Wow! This is a great idea! Why didn't I think of that! It's absolutely no problem!" Kurosawa (?＞?＜)

Kawakami, who was closer to him, kept complaining in his mind, Sawamura, you have worked so hard. These two people really have no self-awareness as seniors! How terrible! Fortunately, they are in the same class! Otherwise it will be over!

Kurosawa and Miyuki watched the game boredly. You and I chatted one by one, "Kazuya, how did you feel when you just warmed up Sawamura? That kid should start practicing outside corner kicks now, right?!"

"Yes, the ball control is not stable, but the inside corner kick is quite good, but Miyauchi-senpai's ball matching is a bit too conservative! In this way, the advantage of that boy Sawamura cannot be used!"

Sawamura's balls were constantly being hit on the field. Although he didn't hit the ball well due to his pitching posture, there were too many foul balls!

"That's right! After Sawamura came up, we can clearly see the tacit understanding between the new two players. It feels like it is completely regarded as a loophole by the opponent! What will we do with the formation of the new team in the future? Let's fight It might be difficult to play in the autumn competition after returning from Hajia!"

Haruichi hesitated because of a bouncing ball and immediately missed the best opportunity to let the ball roll toward the outfield, allowing the ball to run directly to second base.

"After all, this is a team that has entered Koshien! You still need to have this insight! Moreover, Sawamura's pitching requires our defense to be impregnable in order to fully utilize his talents! However, this can also sideline the entire team. The team’s defensive ability is undoubtedly exposed! But it’s better to practice more, after all, the score difference is still very big!”

"That's right. We won't have that much time to adjust after we go back! I hope the autumn competition won't be a first-round elimination, hahaha!"

"Minano, please keep your voice down! If the team that makes it to Hajia is eliminated in the first round of the autumn competition, we will definitely be laughed to death! I can even imagine the supervisor's face!"

"It doesn't matter! The most important thing is this Hagar! Let's go for it in the autumn competition, but don't have too much hope! After all, whether our pitchers will be more tired or better after being trained by Hagar, it all depends on Not allowed!!”

"The victory in the autumn competition should be related to this! After all, the third-year seniors on the line will probably not be of much use without a period of polishing after graduation!" Miyuki thought about how our third-year seniors will be after they graduate. The batting average must be improved! As for the captain, I don’t know who the coach will choose? so annoying! I want to go out and compete, and as expected, being a catcher is the most interesting!

"Kazuya! Bear with me, there's no way you can play today!" Kurosawa complained.

"Hmph, what's wrong with that kid Fang Gu? What did you say to him?! Why does it feel like there's smoke coming out of your head? Hahaha!" Miyuki turned to look at the other pitcher and asked curiously why he was so quiet today, obediently He didn't even look for me. Is this what everyone thinks is going to make them faint? !

"It's okay, this is just a compulsory course for pitchers. There are some things you still have to find answers to on your own! But Sawamura has grown a lot!" Kurosawa said with a smile.

"Yes, the score loss stabilized quickly this time! Ah Xian also finished the five innings very well today! It seems that everyone is still growing!"

"Hey, I don't know who I will compete with in the next game! In fact, I really want to compete with Xibang. I heard that their four sticks are very good!" Kurosawa thought about the last time he read the newspaper, he could compete with A hitter who is on par with the team! I’m really looking forward to it! Sure enough, it’s interesting to fight against the strong!

"There should be no chance that we won't meet each other before the quarter-finals! But if we do, it will be very troublesome! Their line-fighting is just a little worse than ours! Maybe it will turn into a hit battle in the end!" Miyuki thought about them. The center line is as good as what we have.

……

Buzz - the sound of an air defense siren means that the victory or defeat on the field has been decided.

"The game is over, both sides salute!"

"Thanks for the advice!"

Sawamura's defensive mistakes in the last four rounds caused some impact, but he quickly adjusted and stabilized his mood. Although he still lost five points, it was not worth mentioning in terms of the team's scoring situation. matter.

Sawamura himself is very dissatisfied! I will go find my master as soon as I come back! But this is the only way pitchers can grow! He is never satisfied with his pitching skills, constantly strengthening his skills and evolving all the time.

After this time, Qingdao's line play became completely famous. Although Inami's victory in that game already knew the ability of the lane line, but after two rounds of games, everyone truly realized the horror of Qingdao's national level line play. The captain knot Cheng Tetsuya is definitely a professional-level hitter.

“The nation’s number one frontline player was born!”

"Super high school level hitter, Tetsuya Yuuki!"

"This year of leadership was actually called a bad harvest year in the past!"

The day after the game, media reports about Qingdao's line-tying were overwhelming. Almost all the third-year seniors were dug up and turned into inspirational literature!

But it’s troublesome when people become famous! Kurosawa was watching the media outside from the window of the hotel. He felt really bored. It was so boring! I originally wanted to go out for a meal, but now it’s completely ruined! Why!

Fortunately, the coach is reliable! An eviction order was issued directly, no one was allowed to come in for interviews, and the players were not allowed to be interviewed privately.

In the hotel, everyone gathered around and was very excited, especially Kuramochi, who had five hits today and all of them ran back to home plate. After all, he still knew his hits.

"If you weren't running fast, you would probably only have two hits!" Liang Sang said with a smile, but I didn't play! You are quite good at it!

Kuramochi looked at the dark-faced Ryo-san and touched his face, not daring to refute at all! After all, this person is at the top of his list of things he cannot offend!

"Nanye, what are you doing standing there? Don't even think about going out today! If you can't get out, come and sit down and rest!" Miyuki looked at Kurosawa who was staring straight outside, and directly interrupted his little thought, don't Want to go out!

"Come and read the newspaper! The news above is quite interesting. These media are really scary! You must have watched all our games!" Miyuki handed the newspaper to Kurosawa and said helplessly.

"Yeah, it's interesting! But these are normal! After all, there are no accidents in other areas. It's those schools that entered Koshien, which makes our situation here special! I remember I saw it last time He was called a dark horse when he went to a school in Hokkaido!" Kurosawa found from his memory the last time he read a small description in the newspaper. It was because they, like their own team, also adopted the follow-up strategy that they remembered it!

"Eh?! Really! I didn't pay attention! Isn't that the team from Fang Gu's hometown!" Miyuki answered casually.

"You think so!" Kurosawa felt a flash of inspiration in his mind but didn't catch it. It was over there at Fanggu! Then I didn’t care too much because it was time to eat!
