The original intention of the diamond ace

At night, everyone in Qingdao.

"The result is out. Our opponent in the next game is Haoyong. Kawakami, you start this game!"

"Yes!"

"Oda, you are also ready, if the situation changes, I will send you to the plate to throw."

"Yes!"

"Others should also be prepared. In our previous practice match with them, they will not compete with us with all their strength. Tomorrow will be a hard fight."

"It can be said that after entering the quarter-finals, there will be no more easy duels. This is the case with Jumo Da Fujimaki, and it is the same with Haoyong. Everyone must be fully prepared to face every game after that."

"I hope you haven't forgotten the regret of losing in the spring. This time our goal is to be the top!"

"Yes!!!"

…………

Back to a few days ago.

After we beat Japan's Shono, we played our next opponent a few days later, which was Terumi.

Furutani was the starter in this game, Kawakami was the relay, and Yuuki still started the left field due to his unexpected performance in the previous game, which made Aso grumble secretly.

The pitchers on both sides were in good shape at the beginning of the game. After three innings, both sides failed to score.Although the opponent's strength is very strong, in the face of Qingdou who is holding on to the No. [-] in Japan, he still cannot recover the situation that is gradually leaning to the other side. In the end, Fuguya lost one run, pitched eight innings and went off the mound. After Kawakami played Continued the previous situation, suppressed the thugs, and lost no points.

The batting line also broke out in an all-round way. The rising hit rate of the top hitters, the stable batting rate of the clearing hitters, the low hitters continued to hit the line well, and the opposing pitchers faced their offense. Stretched, not daring to relax.It is worth mentioning that Yuuki's unexpected performance was not accidental, and his blow made it possible for Qingdou to win.Two hits and a home run in five dozen seats, this is his answer sheet.

In the end, we steadily won Terumi and entered the quarterfinals. Our opponent in the next game is Naga.

The sweat and unwillingness of so many days before made the current Qingdao. On the stage of Jiashien, facing the strong schools in the country, Qingdao's slow but firm steps squeezed the possibility of other schools to advance.

Back to the present, so young——Qingdao

Kawakami's state is still so stable, and the hitters have been well suppressed in front.

Yuuki still started in the outfield this game, but faced Yoonaga's shot, he couldn't cope well. Finally, in the fifth game, he was replaced by Supervisor Kataoka.

This game was indeed consistent with what Director Kataoka said, and we were in a stalemate with Hao Yong's players.

Except for the one point at the beginning, both sides failed to score again in the sixth game, but everyone in Qingdao did not have a very dignified atmosphere, not only the advantage of that one point, but more importantly, Kawakami's state was very good no matter how you looked at it , This sense of peace of mind really cannot be brought by people in other positions.

In the seventh inning, Kawakami's state began to be unstable. In order to deal with the hitters, his pitch count reached a critical point. In addition, the temperature in Koshien in summer was really unbearable, and Kawakami's face also turned pale. , the hitter begins to hit his ball.

"Oda! You go to prepare now, and you will play next time."

"Yes!"

In the eighth inning, I started hitting the plate.The game remains on a dangerous balance until...  

"Pong!"

As Miyuki swung the bat high, everyone seemed to be hit by his blow. The ball flew high into the sky and hit the scoreboard hard.

"All, a home run!! Seido's four bats hit a home run that hit the scoreboard!"

"The score came to 2:0! As long as Qingdao defends the ninth inning, the game will end directly! Haoyong has come to a situation where he can only fight with all his strength."

Miyuki evoked his signature smile, "Ah~ so cool~"

In the next inning, I threw the ball calmly, three ups and three downs, and ended up steadily, ending the game.

The familiar whistle sounded, and I looked at the crying person opposite.

What I can think of is only the next game: we are now in the semi-finals, and if we win the next game, we will enter the final!

As long as we win the final, we are number one!

What would it be like to be at the top of the top 4000 colleges and universities in the country...!

I couldn't help but want to laugh.

The next game is also an acquaintance, Bai Long.

Jiang Gu's state gradually improved with the progress of Jiashien. At the beginning of the game, he did not appear to have an obviously unstable start.Everyone looked at the team that entered the state day by day, and they all had a little more confidence and desire for that goal.

The batting performance was also very stable, but Bailong's defense was difficult to break through. Every hit was confiscated, and most of the hits turned into residual bases. This game was fast but very long.

The game was going on slowly, the glare of the sun was pouring down, Furutani was sweating non-stop, he licked his lips and looked at Miyuki.

Miyuki squatted on the home plate, frowning, "I'm still not used to summer games, but you can't end here either!" '

He looked at Fugu, "In the last game against Haoyong, the supervisor deliberately let Kawakami start in order to ensure that he can retain the greatest combat power to face today and tomorrow's game. If you end now, then the supervisor's arrangement will be fine." It doesn't make sense anymore. '

"However..." He hooked the corner of his mouth and quickly made a signal, "Even if you are asked to go down, you will not go down!"Pitcher is such an interesting creature~'

Jiang Gu on the mound nodded, and threw the ball expressionlessly......

In the eighth game, although Jiang Gu survived another crisis and still failed to allow his opponent to score, everyone could see that his physical strength was reaching its limit.

Now the score is 1:0, coming to the top half of the ninth inning.

In this round, Supervisor Kataoka replaced Kawakami.

Kawakami was hit with a single hit as soon as he entered the field, but he quickly stabilized, but the Hakuryu player who hit the base completely ignored the threat of Miyuki from the home plate, as if entering no one's land, and soon Hit third base.

At this time, everyone in the audience knew what they would do next, and so did Qing Dao.Bailong's fans couldn't restrain themselves and began to cheer, and the atmosphere on Qingdao's side suddenly became tense.

Without waiting for the supervisor and Miyuki's command, the infielders all took a few steps forward, tensely preparing.

Sure enough, the next bat was a stub, and the ball rolled toward first base.

Everyone knows, even Bailong's people know that we will guard against their move, but they still confidently chose to force points. What is powerless is that we really failed to stop their attack. The first half of the nine innings returned to the original point.

But this small wave still failed to stop the progress of everyone in Qingdao.

……… “safe!”

"Successfully survived! Qingdao's cooperation of five or six sticks brought the game to an end!"

"Qingdao successfully entered the final!"

We were not happy for a long time, so we packed our luggage and went to the auditorium to watch the next game. The winner of this game will be our opponent tomorrow.

We finished our lunch quickly, and there were already two teams of players on the field below.

In the second semi-final, Kiryu, Osaka—Jumo Fujimaki!
