Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

"It flew out! A perfect hit from Kurosawa, a two-run home run! It's a two-run home run! Aomichi scored two runs again, leading the Trolls by three runs!"

"Ahhhh!"

"I knew you were going to have a big one in every game!"

"That's awesome! Kurosawa!"

"It's so cool! I flew out directly!"

"Uh-huh! How are you? Have you been waiting for a long time?" Kurosawa high-fived Miyuki with a smile and walked towards the rest area.

"How could that be? That was a home run! I still want to give you a high five to celebrate, hahaha!" Miyuki joked.

"Aren't you always looking at me on the base bag? How dare I not hit out! It's not just the catcher who wants to respond to the pitcher. It's sometimes the pitcher's instinct to want to respond to the catcher!" Kurosawa stepped forward to accept it! The friendly care of seniors.

Miyuki was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Would the pitcher want to respond to the catcher? So it was the anticipation in my eyes that made him feel it! Well, I still don’t want to think about it! Let's play first. If we change pitches in the next game, Fanggu should be able to pitch easily!

"Miyuki, what are you doing standing there! Come in quickly!" Kuramochi looked at Miyuki who was still standing outside and didn't come in with great confusion. Why didn't this guy just run a base? It’s so hot, and my ears are too red!

Are you still thinking about your record of hitting with no one on base? Damn it, I really want to fight him out! Thinking about my success in not getting on base in two at-bats, I really don’t want to pay attention to this guy Miyuki at all!

Eight-bat Hakushu took advantage of the pitcher's confusion and hit a single again, but the pitcher was soon calmed down by Renji and dealt with the nine-bat new pitcher Fukiya.

"With two outs on the field and someone on first base, a new round of batting starts again. Will Coach Nitta decisively choose to change pitches again this time?"

"Coach Nitta quickly gave an affirmative answer and chose to change shots and not give Qingdao a chance for a second duel."

"Oh! The pitcher sent this time is the monster pitcher Hongo Masamune who is in the spotlight. Now both sides have replaced the pitchers on the field with their own first-year monster pitchers. Is this a duel between two first-year pitchers? "

"Let's first see how Hongo's pitching performance will be against Seido's one-bat hitter?!"

"kick off!"

"call out!"

"nice shot!"

"Oh, the speed of the first ball was 150 kilometers!"

“You’re on full fire as soon as you come on stage!”

“And it’s an inside corner kick!”

"Hongo is so awesome!"

Kuramochi looked across at Hongo, who was only a first-year student but was even more arrogant than his junior classmate, and couldn't help but laugh: "Asshole!"

"call out!"

"Two good shots!" This time it's the outside edge!

"You can't shoot this shot after a straight shot from the inside corner!"

"It's so tricky. It's impossible to hit that kind of ball!"

Kurosawa looked at the pitcher on the bench from the bench. Looking closer, he was even more sure that this pitcher's completion level was much higher than that of his junior! Probably only the ball speed upper limit is lower than the drop valley!

"Hey, Fangtani, look at the guy opposite you. He controls the ball much better than you. Why don't you learn from him!" Miyuki joked, looking directly at Fangtani who was pretending not to hear and said seriously: "I don't ask you to do it now. You can control the ball as well as your opponent, but you have to keep the ball down in the next game, you know?!"

"I understand, Miyuki-senpai!"

"You really have to be careful! If your ball is not lowered, it may be easier to hit than Sawamura's ball in their eyes! After all, there is someone in their team with a higher level of equipment than you!" Kurosawa smiled. Last hit.

"Eh?! Really? Really! Kurosawa-senpai should really let me play! This guy's ball control is so bad!" After hearing this, Sawamura immediately turned on the self-recommendation mode, and Fukiya on the other side turned on the gas stove mode. , "You won't get a chance to play!"

Kurosawa ignored the two people who started fighting again and just relaxed. Without these two people to adjust the atmosphere, the atmosphere in the rest area was too solemn!

"For the third ball, what will Hongo throw? Is it a slider or a fast pitcher! Or a straight ball!"

Kuramochi thought about what Chris-senpai said the day before yesterday that this pitcher had better let go of the low ball, that fast finger ball.

"Whoops!" Straight ball? ! Kuramochi was shocked and couldn't help swinging the bat, but the ball dropped quickly just as it was about to enter the base.

"Swing empty, strikeout!"

Kurosawa looked at Hongo, who was walking to the rest area without looking back, and thought that he was really confident about that ball! But it’s normal to think about it, I can’t hit that ball either! Well, if the ball wants to trick me into hitting the bat, it can’t be done!

But that catcher really can give Kazuya a run for his money! I can catch the rebounding ball, and my reaction speed is really strong!

"As soon as Hongo came on the field, he easily struck out the first batter, Kuramochi, with two straight pitches and a quick finger pitch!"

"He made Qingdao's batter unable to even touch the ball. As soon as he came on the field, his ball speed increased to over 150 kilometers, and he easily struck out the batter!"

"That's the good thing about the follow-up pitching strategy! The pitcher doesn't need to reserve his strength, he can give full play to it! Hongo has no intention of holding back at all. He struck out the batter with full power from the beginning and ended the fourth inning. Halftime.”

As soon as Kuramochi returned to the rest area, he was surrounded by everyone. I want to know whether the ball is really that difficult to distinguish? !

"Yes! In my opinion, the ball path in front of that fast fork ball looks exactly like a straight ball. The ball speed is so fast and it can drop suddenly from that height. There is not much time to react!"

"Damn it! It's another fastball. Why do so many fastballs suddenly appear?" Ming couldn't help complaining.

"Well! To be honest, this guy's ball control is much better than Qingdao's Feng Gu!" said Karl Ross.

"really!"

"Hmph! They can't compare to me anyway! Why do you want to praise other pitchers in front of me? Am I not your trump card anymore?" Ming said unhappily.

"Senior Ming, you are the best!" Ashu said quickly, "Want me to tell you a joke!"

"I don't want to hear your cold jokes!" Ming Aojiao said.

"Well! Ashu, don't indulge him too much!" Carlos said, and the others nodded in agreement.

"Hmph, you are so outrageous! You actually want to sow discord between Ashu and I. What's wrong with a junior's respect for his senior!"

"A Ming, you should look a little more like a senior!" Carlos said helplessly.

"Hmph!" Ming couldn't help but pouted, "Obviously I'm a kid too!" Everyone said they didn't want to pay attention to this childish ace.

"In the bottom half of the fourth inning, the Trolls made a big lead and hit center field Ajiu!"

"At the beginning of this inning, the Trolls' big line also started its second round of attacks. Aomi's coach Kataoka also decisively replaced the second pitcher Fukiya to deal with it!"

Coach Kataoka warned Miyuki who was about to play: "If Miyuki shows a flaw, they will immediately take advantage of it, but don't fall into passivity!" Although Fukiya's start was unstable and it was easy for him to seize the opportunity to counterattack, but We are leading by three points!

"Yes!" Miyuki immediately understood what the supervisor meant. He wanted to relax and not be affected!

"Furitani! We have to solve it one by one, and we have to get the outs one by one, you know? If you make a mistake, there will be many pitchers waiting behind you!" The Sawamura mascot couldn't help but start paying special attention to his friends as soon as he saw them coming on the field. .

"It seems that Fang Gu has no experience as a relay player. I wonder if he can perfectly continue his ace's clean sheet record?!"

Fanggu throws the outside corner kick hard, be more tricky! Miyuki signaled, and Fang Gu nodded in response, indicating that he understood.

"Are these two monster pitchers who also live in Hokkaido finally going to face off in Koshien?!"

"call out!"

"Bang!" Miyuki couldn't help but gritted his teeth. The troll actually started playing with the first ball? !

"Wow! The ball flew over the infield, and the batter swung the bat on the first pitch, and it hit the ground!"

"The speed of Fang Gu's first ball reached 153 kilometers, but even so, he was hit without mercy."

"Don't underestimate me! You bastard!" Chunsang looked at Yiba unhappily and wanted to run directly to third base.

"Aomichi's center fielder Isashiki didn't show any signs of weakness and directly blocked the ball that was supposed to be a three-base hit with his laser shoulder, allowing the batter to run to second base!"

"It's a pity that it didn't hit him!" Chunsang curled her lips in displeasure.

"Second baseman Nishi-kun!"

Hitting the first ball again? ! Although Fanggu's ball is a little high, it's not that easy to hit! Miyuki thought unhappily.

"Three-stick shortstop Taniyoshi-san!"

"Seido's Fukiya faced a big crisis as soon as he came on the field. No one was out, there were people on third base, and it was the batter's turn to hit the third base, Taniyoshi!"

"This is a familiar scoring situation. I wonder if the Trolls can seize this scoring opportunity!"

"The three batters didn't choose to hit. At the last moment, they sent the third base runner back to home base with a touch hit. The Trolls finally scored a valuable point in the fourth inning and opened up the situation."

"Four-bat first baseman Yamaguchi-san!"

"With one out and two bases occupied, four batters ushered in. It was a really bad situation! It was the first pitch again, but unfortunately this time it was a fast pitch ball!"

"call out!"

"boom!"

"Again, he swings the bat without hesitation. Is this a conflict? The big batters seem to be particularly hard on pitches! Could it be that they hit too many?!"

"Five-bat third baseman Aoyagi-san!"

"Another batter with the ability to hit long hits! After one out, there are people on first and third base again. Will the Trolls score another run?!"

"The runners on the Trolls side seemed to trust the hitters so much that they actually chose to run on the first pitch. As expected, the five-ball Aoyagi lived up to their trust and hit the ball."

"Safety!"

"Out!"

"Out!"

"Three outs, exchange offense and defense!"

"What happened!! Double play! It turned out to be a lightning return pass from the left field that directly blocked the Trolls' subsequent offensive, helping the pitcher quickly end the inning and control Qingdao's loss to two points. There was no I can let the giant giant Fujimaki overtake the score!"

"Wow! That's amazing!"

"Hahaha, that kind of ball didn't even lead to a double! He actually only allowed runners to get to first base. Those runners tried to run but were immediately caught by him for a double play!"

"Yes, yes! It seems that the troll underestimated Kurosawa's ball speed!"

"Yes, that guy is a pitcher who develops into a hexagon! You can't take it lightly when defending the outfield! It seems that the runner on the opposite side must have made a subconscious judgment! Kurosawa was not included in the calculation!"

"Hahahaha, that's right! After all, the complete shot in the last game should have left a deep impression on the opponent, and Kurosawa did not participate in the game last time, so the Trolls did not take his outfield fielding ability to heart. Bar!"

"Yes, the Trolls are taking a bit too much risk this time? Otherwise, we might not be able to take advantage of this game! It will be interesting then!"

"Such a great opportunity! In the next inning, Qingdao's pitcher must have adjusted his mentality and won't get on base so easily!"

"Yes, after all, everyone who knows Qingdao knows about the weakness of Fanggu's unstable start! That's why it's such a pity! If Qingdao hadn't won the elimination just now, it might be more interesting now, but it's not necessarily hahahaha!"

"Why hasn't that Kurosawa guy come on the pitch yet? What are you thinking about letting a first-year pitcher come on the pitch at such a critical moment?" Naru looked at the second pitcher who came on the field and it was not Kurosawa, and this familiar scene, It’s really frustrating!

"Hahaha, what's wrong with Ming? That guy usually comes on last! Isn't he just like a safety catch to Qingdao in the end!"

"Otherwise Qingdao wouldn't have defeated us! ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ"

"Damn it, damn it!" Bai He felt very unhappy when he thought about the special gift that guy gave him in the end.

Then he glared fiercely at Kurosawa, who was receiving thanks from his seniors and juniors in the Qingdao rest area, and decisively listed him and Miyuki as the people he hated the most and the people he least wanted to interact with!

Inami and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard Shirakawa's thoughts! After all, I don’t want the special treatment, okay? I was completely fooled...
