The original intention of the diamond ace

The next day, the playground.

I didn't expect the supervisor to let me go first.

Although it is not a famous school, I thought that such an important game would not be entrusted to a 'rookie' like me.

After all, neither the coaching staff, the players, nor even the fans who support Qingdao know me very well.In case of losing, the supervisor will be fully responsible.

As I thought about it, I walked towards the bullpen.

Miyuki who was beside him followed up, "Don't be so confused ~ everyone has seen your Xia Xun's hard work, and you have completed the competitions entrusted to you very well. In fact, everyone still has confidence in you, supervisor I also think that you can face that kind of scene, so I will give it to you."

this man!

"Yuyuki, you guessed too accurately, it's a bit disgusting."

"Disgusting......... This is too much..." Miyuki had a black line.

"Anyway, you can do—" he turned and smiled.

"Don't you just have to work hard to meet our expectations!"

"Yeah - let's go, let's see if we can improve our curve ball control today!" I walked quickly into the bullpen.

Miyuki watched from behind, "Although this guy Oda always looks listless and easy to bully, he somehow gives people a sense of trust that he can trust him in any situation." '

***

A few days later, Hachioji Gymnasium.

Seidou and his party walked into the hall with serious expressions, carrying ball bags on their backs.

"Oh! Is that someone from Qingdao?!"

"It's so imposing, it's worthy of being one of the four famous families."

"Although the Fakan Academy is not bad, but the momentum alone is not as good as it!"

"The competition is not like this. I think the chances of Faken Gakuen's victory are not small. Haven't the results been getting better and better in the past few years? This year, they entered the top 16 again. The last game was also a big victory."

"But they can't be considered a famous family. It's a pity that the pharmacist is going to become a famous family."

…………

In the field at this time.

"Welcome everyone to watch today's game, the weather is hot, remember to drink more water!"

"The first game starts at 10 o'clock sharp. The two sides are Seidou and Hokken Gakuen. Audience watching the game, please pay attention to the time."

"Oh, Qing Dao is here!" A figure appeared on the bench, and there was a lot of discussion in the stands.

Today's starting roster was displayed on the electronic screen, '...Nine-stick pitcher Oda Kazu. '

On the third base side, there is a law school.

"Hahaha—that's great! Seidou underestimated us!" Yoshioka sat on the ground in front of the bench area.

"If this is the case, don't use such a happy tone." The passing team members said angrily.

"But! They are so strong. If we try our best, it will be very difficult for us to win. We can take advantage of this situation! Right, Senior Yitang!" Yoshioka turned his head excitedly to look at the people behind.

"Qingdao didn't underestimate us, didn't he play in the last two rounds last time? Although he is a first-year student, his mentality and completion are quite high." The fourth stick, Yi Tangxiu, lowered his head and packed up the things he needed to play.

"Oh! Then..."

"Yoshioka, shut up!" The person next to him couldn't bear it anymore, rushed up and pinched his mouth.

Yoshioka was forced to pout his chicken mouth and looked at him aggrievedly.

"Hahahaha, well done!! Katsuta!" Everyone around laughed.

…………

Back in the stands, the audience was also talking about Qingdao's start.

"Isn't Akatsuki Furugu starting today?! Kazuo Oda, who is it? How bold is Seido to let a substitute come on in this kind of game!"

"With such a small opinion, Qingdao won't lose in the end! It's so funny!"

"That Oda, I remember it was quite good. He has a ball change that I can see in the outfield."

"Outfield? Hahahaha, you are exaggerating too much. You can hardly see home plate in the outfield."

…………

The bench area of ​​Qingdao.

"Oda! Don't be nervous when you play, if the situation is not good, take a deep breath!!" Eijun-senpai turned into a cat's eye again.

"Senior, no matter how you look at it, you are nervous..." I said with a half-smile.

"Well, no matter what, you can rest assured to vote, I will always be ready to play in the bullpen."

"Oh~ it's really reliable." I replied lightly, and after turning around, I curled my lips.

snort!I will not end so soon!

Before the game, the bullpen.

"Oda, you're in good shape today! Let's try that new pitching method for the game!" Miyuki caught the ball, stood up and passed it to me.

"Okay. But that kind of throwing is quite exhausting." I caught the ball.

"Don't think about the future, remember to focus on dealing with the batter in front of you when you play." Miyuki told me seriously.

"Well, I know."

Speaking of which, the opponent's physique is slightly taller than I imagined, and it is indeed a school that thoroughly learned the style of play from the United States.

It's a pity, I snickered a bit, I was the first to send it.I'm actually better at this style of play than traditional Japanese baseball, after all, I've been playing in the major leagues for almost six years.

"Attention to the audience who watched the first match of Seidou vs. Kengakuen, the match is about to start, please get seated as soon as possible."

"Good morning everyone, today's game will be explained by me, Sato."

"Today's matchup is very interesting, Qingdao, as we all know, whether it is tactics, style of play or personnel arrangement, they all belong to the traditional Japanese style of play. Not only the school spirit is free, but also their baseball is learned. The training method in the United States, even the supervision has lived in the United States for a long time."

"This game can be said to be a confrontation between the cutting-edge players advocating the reform of Japanese baseball and the traditional famous schools!"

…………

"Okay! The game is about to start."

"First is the offense of Hokken Gakuen. Their first bat is first-year shortstop Akihide Yoshioka. He didn't play many games in the previous games, but his hit rate is quite high."

Yoshioka held the bat and hopped up to the prep area.

As I tried to throw, I glanced curiously at the figure happily wiping the bat.

Unexpectedly, Fa Jian's blow turned out to be such a thin and small man. Speaking of which, he didn't see anything on the video. Are his striking skills good?

"Seodo's starting pitcher is first-year rookie Oda Kazu."

"You can be a starter in freshman year, especially when the team already has a lot of good pitchers. It seems that this Oda player is quite expected from the bench."

"The game begins!" The whistle sounded.

"First goal!"

"Pong!"

Yoshioka dropped his bat and hit the bases quickly.

"Oh! The first ball was hit with a stick! It is indeed a wild animal!"

"Oh!! Good job Yoshioka! It would be better if you talk less!"

"Damn it! It's obviously a guy who keeps talking about frustration!"

"Exactly! Can't you share some of your kid's luck with me!"

…………

"Fa Jian's first pitch hit a hit! Now that there is someone on the first base, Fa Jian has a good opportunity to run first. But I don't know why his bench area is booed, this is also Fa Jian Academy Is it one of its characteristics?"

Yoshioka, who was stepping on the first base, was grinning and shaking his hands, "Wow, it hurts!" He naturally talked to Maezono, "Your freshman is so good! His power overwhelms me Almost missed the bat!!"

The former garden senior stared at the mound, ready to catch the ball, and then tagged out this inexplicable kid.

On the mound, I looked at that skinny kid in surprise. Did he just guess the match? !That swing without hesitation, this shot is not something an unsure person can hit.

and…………

How good is his striking technique! !

Not to mention learning American style of play, the one just now is almost like a layman!

Such a person can also be sent to the field......

The hitters after that won't be so unexpected, right? The fishing swing that was promised......

The next two bats were the same as in the data. I was relieved and let him out easily.

"Oh! What a sloth!!" Sawamura-senpai's voice was heard almost in the audience

Senior... You are an undercover agent sent by the other side...

During this period, the firewood stick quietly moved away from the base bag.

Hehe, even though I'm a right-hander, you know, that tricky guy at home plate has never forgotten you.

I turned around quickly, and as soon as I threw the ball, I saw him standing back on the base bag.

Standing on the bases, he said, "Wow! It's so dangerous!" He looked at the front yard who turned to try to tackle him, "How long has your pitcher practiced this pinch? Much faster than our pitchers! You are How did you practice?..."

A few veins popped out on Qianyuan's forehead, "Why isn't this game over yet!"This person is so annoying! '

At this moment, I opened my eyes wide and looked at Yoshioka brightly.

This is!

He predicted that I was going to take a pick up ball!

Isn't it interesting!This kid!

I lowered my head slightly, smiled almost inaudibly and said:

"That's right!"

"It's a rare start, it's still interesting to have fun!"

When I got excited, my pitch became sharper, and I directly struck out the next hitter with three balls.

Here comes four sticks!
