Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

Outside the stadium, Okumura in the stands looked at Aomichi who had finished the game with his hands in his pockets. He stood up and suddenly said: "It's decided!"

What? What? Takuma looked confused, you suddenly decided on something, so suddenly! At least you should discuss it with me!

"Go to Nian Qingdao. Whoever wins will go there. Since Qingdao wins this time, let's go to Qingdao!"

"Hey! Since you have such a plan, you should tell me earlier! I don't have any sense of belonging at all!" Takuma complained helplessly. He always felt very helpless when facing his friends!

In the battle for the championship between East Tokyo and West Tokyo, Aomichi High School crushed its opponents 5:1 and won.

After the game, the top schools in Tokyo who came here to investigate the intelligence called their coaches to report on the situation.

"The game is over. As we expected, Qingdao won in the end. However, the score was far beyond our expectations. Qingdao won Teidong High School with an absolute advantage of four points, and they still took it from their ace Mukai. The lower score.”

"They are formed with Miyuki and Kurosawa as the core on both the front line and the hunting end. Today their line attack is in full swing, and their combat effectiveness is very impressive. It is recommended to fight Qingdao as the biggest imaginary enemy."

"In addition to Kurosawa, Maezono also hit an in-field home run."

"Well, that's right! It was really the three-stick Maezono who hit him. We need to re-evaluate his hitting ability. Today's Didong just underestimated his strength and was caught off guard."

After the game, "Baseball Kingdom" reporters Fujio and Owada Akiko did not go to interview the famous Kataoka like their counterparts. Instead, he went to the defeated Teito High School and interviewed Coach Okamoto.

"Mukai-san threw more than 170 pitches today. Have you ever thought about changing pitchers midway?" Fujio went straight to the point, and Okamoto did not choose to avoid the easy matter.

"If you want to develop an ace pitcher, you must trust him unconditionally. And although Mukai has pitched a lot, his overall condition has not declined." He said bluntly. After finishing speaking, coach Okamoto couldn't help but his face began to twist.

Of course, all this is based on winning. Once the team loses the game, any trust or ace is just an excuse.

"Then what do you think of Coach Kataoka? You all made the same choice this time!" Fujio asked curiously.

He knew that Coach Kataoka's expectations for the ace were no worse than Coach Okamoto's, but in this case, both coaches unanimously chose to keep the ace on the court.

Coach Okamoto thought for a moment and analyzed hesitantly: "Although the situations of our two teams are different, I think Coach Kataoka's purpose should be the same as mine."

"Judging from their results, both of our choices were correct, but our skills are still inferior. However, Coach Kataoka made more choices than me. He may have other considerations in it."

"Especially since there are three second shooters with such different styles in the team to choose from, I won't be surprised no matter what Director Kataoka chooses!"

Coach Okamoto feels dreamy every time he thinks of Furitani and Sawamura's pitching at Koshien. It's true, the most talented pitchers in the country are all on the same team.

Every time he thought about this, he couldn't help but envy Coach Kataoka. Whether it's Akatsuki Furitani or Sawamura, these two pitchers have unlimited futures.

If these two people can maintain a good competitive relationship, it will be a great blessing for Qingdao and themselves.

Then Qingdao and his team's combat power will definitely soar again in the future, but these have nothing to do with us. The ones who are in trouble should be Coach Kunitomo and Coach Tahara. It’s really difficult to fight in the same combat zone as Seido!

"The weather cleared up as soon as we finished the competition!" Kuramochi said, looking at the sun with a smile.

Kurosawa stretched lazily and said with emotion: "Whether it's sunny or rainy, the game is over, but I still like sunny days!"

yes! No matter what, Seido High School finally broke through the first battle. Moreover, there was also a man who achieved success in this game, and that was the vice-captain, Kenta Maezono, who hit his second home run.

After the other side received the news that Qingdao had defeated Didong, the reactions of major universities were different. Among them, players from several Nishi Tokyo universities that are closer to Seido all showed similar fighting spirit.

Inami's Naru just smiled arrogantly and said, "Isn't that what it should be!" and immediately took Ashu to practice pitching.

"I really want to hit it!" Let's swing the stick a thousand more times!

Sanada and Raiichi had similar reactions, showing a lot of fighting spirit. This pair of shooting and shooting cooperation is definitely very rare in colleges and universities.

In the evening, in the indoor training room, a group of teammates who were training with him gathered around the front garden. As for why they gathered here by chance, of course it was because...

At night, in the Qingdao cafeteria, everyone was discussing today's game during the day. Of course, the one that has attracted the most attention is the performance of the front garden.

"At that time, Maezono's face was so nervous that he turned blue."

“It’s so small that people can’t expect it at all.”

"You must have been very nervous at that time!"

"Yeah, right! We were more shocked than you when you fought out!"

"Hahahaha! You are really amazing!"

Although the bad friends were all talking about Qianzuan's shortcomings, they couldn't help but show a bit of envy and admiration in their eyes.
