Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

Saotome felt good looking at the surprised and confused expressions on the seniors' faces! It seems that I didn’t directly state that the purpose of coming here was a great success before coming! Otherwise, why would I see such interesting expressions on the seniors’ faces!

"The supervisor didn't ask me to do this, but asked you to do this! Damn it!" Ming said sadly, the supervisor didn't even ask me to do such a thing!

"Well, Ming, you can't see that, letting Saotome come has the purpose of supervision! He is also the most suitable one. Maybe, calm down first! Let's listen to what he said first!" Carlos comforted road.

"Hmph, you kid, tell me about the supervision coming for you to observe or something?!"

"Of course I was observing Kurosawa-senpai. I supervised the pitching between him, Inomi Nijun and the finals. Although that guy used a completely different pitching method, the coach still discovered something!" Saotome After watching the defense change begin on the field, immediately choose to deal with the senior students' questioning first!

"In addition, Kurosawa-senpai used a similar pitching method to knock people out in the quarterfinals, and the coach further confirmed his idea. When I applied to come to the game this time, the coach told me He took a moment and asked me to confirm it! So seniors, let’s watch the game first. I’ll confirm it and talk to you later!”

Although this guy spoke vaguely, which made a few people very unhappy, thinking that this guy is really arrogant! But since it was our supervisor who had the idea, and it was inconvenient for him to come over, so we asked this guy to help, so we don’t have the same experience as him!

As for the reason why I didn't find anyone else, it's probably because this guy is more reliable and has a surprisingly good feel for the game! It seems that this guy's talent is really recognized by the national coach!

But if this guy hadn't been injured before entering school and he didn't want to show off, to a certain extent, he was a guy with strict plans! But even if he is just starting to show up now, he is already about to enter the first army!

"In the first half of the eighth inning, the Trolls hit big shots and met Aido's four-hitter Yuki at the beginning. This time they will have a head-to-head confrontation!"

No! In the end, Yuki was walked on four balls! However, judging from the condition of the pitcher himself, it seems that he wants to face off against the hitter again, so is this arrangement the intention of Coach Nitta? ! "

"Will Hongo's anger affect his mentality, causing him to make a pitching error and Seido will seize the opportunity?!"

"Hongo told us through his pitching content that this emotion did not affect his pitching. It should be said that it made his pitching sharper. Almost every ball was maintained at its peak speed, and he directly struck out five batters on the opposite side. .”

"Six-stick catcher Miyuki-san!"

"Miyuki Miyuki!"

"Fight it out, fight it out!"

"As expected of a man who buffs up when there is someone on base! He came on the field when there was someone on first base, and the cheers on the field proved everyone's expectations for his hit!"

"But can he successfully interrupt Hongo's better and better state and open up the scoring situation for Qingdao again?!"

"Wow, even Lady Luck is on the opposite side this time? The ball was accidentally blocked by the fielder! Although Aomichi's hit was in vain again, it allowed the runner to reach second base! "

"Next, it was Kurosawa's turn to hit. In the last at bat, he got a hit for the first time he faced Hongo's pitching. Although it was a single, this man showed his hitting ability that cannot be underestimated!"

"It's a perfect example of strong pitching and hard hitting. Although he may still be lacking in strength and his hitting skills still need time to hone, there is no doubt that this hitter needs to be vigilant with big pitches." The object!”

Kurosawa held the metal bat tightly and stared motionlessly at Hongo on the pitcher's mound, thinking that if he meets this guy again next year, it will be even more difficult! However, although the last inning was played, the pitcher who also exposed his ability to deal with the ball will be on the weak side!

"call out!"

"The outside world!"

"Hongo, Hongo!"

"One good shot, one good shot!"

"Use your strength to suppress the attacker, Hongo! Come on!"

"Huh!" Kurosawa took a deep breath. Even if he couldn't score points, he would extend the line to let everyone know that your ball is not unhittable. I won't let you solve it like this, otherwise I will definitely You will be laughed at by yourself! I don’t want it, hum! (ˉへˉ)

"boom!"

"Kurosawa scored a beautiful one-run hit after a few ball battles. Now the field is very unfavorable for the Trolls. There are people on the first and third bases, but Hong Kong is also only one out away, and the youth It’s better to play in the lower position or to play in the lower position!”

"Hmph, if I didn't have this batting ability, how could I always be knocked out by him! Wouldn't that mean that my pitching is worse than that guy's?! But I only hit one hit. This guy Kurosawa is really unreliable. !" Ming said with a smile that was both unhappy and a little gloating.

I was thinking tangledly in my heart. I didn't expect to see you in such an embarrassing state being suppressed by the power of the ball! But if you look at it this way, wouldn’t my pitching be inferior to that first-year pitcher? ! Damn it all because of that guy Kurosawa, how could I not be as good as the first grade!

Inami and the others don't want to pay attention to their childish and petty ace, so let's just watch the game! Anyway, A Ming didn't expect anyone to care about him, he was probably talking to himself!

So what are the pharmacists far away in Western Tokyo thinking at this time? !

That's right, coach Hong had another strange idea in his mind, and he turned his attention to his son, hehe!

It will be up to you to deal with those two people in Lei City from now on! Coach Todoroki knew very well that the only two people who could immediately enter the center line after the third grade retired were Miyuki and Kurosawa, and one of these two people was unable to deal with Raiichi's chaotic ball control, and the other was unable to deal with his power.

If this idea is really successful, then we pharmacists with better luck can directly block Qingdao's two big killers!

"Lei Shi, don't forget today's pitching and swinging practice, otherwise you won't have anything to eat!" Originally, he thought that there was no pitcher in the team, so he could only use his precious son to make up the numbers, but he didn't expect that he actually discovered the precious thing again. What other uses does it have!

"Asshole dad, what bad things are you thinking about! Aren't I practicing every day?!" Lei Shi said that his hands were itchy, so he might as well let me pinch him!

The pharmacists continued to listen to the game, obviously more interested in whether Qingdao would win the first place in the country. As for the two people who were about to fight again, everyone had learned to turn a blind eye!

In view of the fact that my own coach has convulsions from time to time, it is obvious that he wants to train everyone into hexagonal warriors. Of course, everyone knows that there are really not many people in his family!

After all, the coach wants to split one person and use them as two people every time. It's a pity that one person can't guard two positions! So he can only keep everyone on the field off the field. Several people trained by the coach are all overwhelmed by him, and he must use them to complete his surprise attack strategy!

So we should ignore it. Anyway, as long as they are not embarrassing outside, there is no need to stop them. After all, we are already used to it!

"However, Qingdao is known as the No. 1 hitter in the country because every hitter may have unexpected effects, and we cannot take the giant's big pitches lightly!"

"The psychological problems that arise after being hit by ordinary pitchers and being forced to throw four bad pitches seem to never happen to him. This man is completely unmoved and uses pitching to vent his dissatisfaction. , struck out the batter again, held the score, and did not allow Qingdao to add any more points."

"In the second half of the eighth inning, the troll Ofujimaki struck first, and the six-hitter Renji-san!"

"It's still a confusing situation. It seems that the Trolls still can't break Kurosawa's straight ball! What's so magical about the straight ball! It's not just an obvious fast ball and slow ball alternating straight balls. It's a continuous ball. A ball with the same speed can cause the batter to miss it frequently. This is really a magical scene! What secrets are hidden in his straight ball!"

"In the bottom half of the eighth inning, Kurosawa struck out the Trolls' first-year pitchers consecutively. This man not only put pressure on them in hitting, but also instilled the belief that you can't beat me in his pitching! "

"With three outs, the eighth inning officially ended. Kurosawa once again scored three goals and zero shutouts. Qingdao's one-point lead was now like a natural moat in the hearts of the Trolls."

"But there is no trace of discouragement on their faces, which means they still have a chance to turn defeat into victory! After all, we often say that baseball games only start in the ninth inning, and everything is done in the last inning. It’s all in vain!”

"Both sides should be very clear about this. The batters on Qingdao are also gearing up to launch the final attack. It seems that they are not prepared to let the pitchers enter the final defense with a one-point gap. They want to score a few more points to give Take the pressure off their pitchers!”

"In the first half of the ninth inning, Aomichi led off, left fielder Itai-san in the ninth!"

"strike out!"

"After taking care of Seido's last batter in this round, will Coach Nitta choose to change pitches? Or will he continue to believe in Hongo?!"

Everyone in Qingdao was obviously stunned, yes! If they choose to switch shots at this time, we really have nothing to do! But that shouldn’t be the case. There’s no need to change your vote at this time!

Kuramochi's face turned green when he heard this, right? Stop it! It would have been too disengaging for me to participate in the finals. That's right, Mr. Cheetah's fielding in the final game was as good as ever, but he didn't show any performance in hitting, and he hasn't hit base so far.

Although he was still unsure about playing against Hongo again, it was better than recruiting a new pitcher. Finally, he knew that other hitters were helpless in the face of his own pitching. Kuramochi couldn't help but complain silently.

However, Kurosawa had a completely different idea. It would be better if he replaced a new pitcher now. After all, Hongo has entered the state and is obviously becoming more courageous as he fights. It is basically impossible for his own line to completely defeat the opponent in the last inning!

And if a new pitcher takes the field at this time, it is still unknown whether he will be so nervous that he will not be able to exert his full strength! After all, it's the last inning. We can't keep the pitcher with such a big heart from the Trolls until the end! Then their pitching lineup is indeed too rich, and I feel that my side is still a bit behind!

"One-hit shortstop Kuramochi-kun!"

"He didn't choose to change shots. Coach Nitta didn't choose to replace Hongo. He chose to keep him on the court. Faced with Qingdao's line for the third time, this was really a plan to burn the boat! Of course, this must be different from Hongo. Getting better and better pitching is inextricably linked!”

Although Nitta's choice was due to Hongo's better and better performance, it was more of a hunch as a coach that told him that the victory of this game started from the moment the Kurosawa pitcher came on the field, and from his own side. When the wiring is at your wits end, the outcome is already decided.

Just like he believed that Hongo, who was in better pitching condition, would not easily lose points under Aomichi's offense, he also believed that Kurosawa's pitching over there would not give our batters any chance.

As a coach, it is impossible for me to say this kind of thing. I am ready to bear all the responsibilities after failure. Is it because I did not do the intelligence work before the war started?

But the matter is over, let this game be used as nourishment to cultivate Hongo's evolution. If it can be the center's turn to play again in the last round, the Trolls Conference will go one step further!

I believe that everyone will remember the shame of this failure. They will not want to feel this feeling of falling from heaven to hell again! Then the next time we fight, it will only be us! Hope to see you again in Koshien next time! Arata turned his attention to Coach Kataoka.

After Kataoka felt the gaze, he took off his hat and nodded politely to say hello, and Arata silently returned the greeting.
