Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

On the other side, the first grade classroom was also very lively. After all, everyone on the baseball team is quite popular in the class.

"What is Sawamura looking at this time?"

"He gave up on Crime and Punishment all at once, saying he couldn't remember the name of the protagonist." The students in the class were all discussing Sawamura.

And he himself was currently reading a girl's manga, and was still crying. Everyone finally saw the title of the book he was holding in his hand.

"I saw it, he is watching and just wants to deceive you!"

“I really didn’t expect it to be this book, and I even cried when I saw it!”

The girl on the side asked: "I know, did you lend it to him?"

"I lent it to him. Sawamura seems a little tired recently and has no energy! But now he seems to be okay!"

Yoshikawa, who was sitting at the top and listening to their discussion, had a whole book of "I Just Want to Deceive You", looking at Sawamura longingly and thinking... I really want to discuss it with him!

Several other first-year students in the same team and class were gnashing their teeth nearby. Kanemaru looked at Sawamura with fierce eyes and thought, damn it! A mere stupid village is so popular! It’s really frustrating!

"Hurry up and look, I'll be next!"

"Your expression is outrageous!" Kanemaru, who was very unhappy, began to urge me. It's hard for me to be the main one, so don't even think about it for you.

In the afternoon, everyone in the Qingdao Baseball Club was working hard for today's training.

As soon as Kurosawa and the others arrived at the stadium, they immediately discovered that huge changes had taken place on their own stadium.

The number of strike nets increased to five!

This means that the amount of hitting practice will increase, and it also means that more people can hit together. The reason for this arrangement is really obvious!

It must have been arranged by Coach Ochiai! Coach Kataoka is not such a careful person when it comes to these things! Kurosawa glanced at the coaching area curiously. Is the coaching staff going to make any big moves recently?

After all, judging from the strength of Qingdao's line work, there are still big problems! Although the questions are sharp, they are all facts. That is, except for Kurosawa and Miyuki, there is no other person on the team who can really take the lead.

This should be the intention of the coaching staff to increase the striking net! Although in Teito's game, apart from Kurosawa and Miyuki who showed their strength steadily, only Maezono scored points for the team.

However, in that game, Mian Yuan seemed to have exerted a strong hitting ability, which also achieved the goal of making people on other teams very vigilant and no longer dared to underestimate him casually.

But my family knows their own affairs! Are those facts? Not necessarily. The strength of this kid Maezono cannot yet be counted among Qingdao's fighting strength because his performance is extremely unstable.

At least he can't reassure the coaching staff yet. Even Kataoka, who has always been very optimistic about him, has the same idea. He believes he will become a power hitter in the future, but he's not there yet.

After the players were neatly divided into five queues and stood up, they took turns to practice hitting. Such a grand scene is really spectacular no matter how you look at it!

"It looks really spectacular." Minister Ota said with a smile on his face.

Since the team won the Koshien championship, he felt that everything had changed, and Qingdao seemed to be going smoothly! Compared with the dilemma the team encountered before, it feels particularly smooth now.

Kataoka nodded: "It was coach Ochiai's suggestion. He said that since the team has realized the shortcomings of the batting lineup, it is better to let them have enough."

After all, there is a limit to the extent to which you can improve just by practicing swinging in private. Since the team's conditions permit, it is better for the team to come forward to enhance the players' offensive strength.

This will also give the players a greater sense of belonging. Ochiai showed a proud look in his eyes and carelessly touched his mustache.

His salary is not free. Since he is here to be a technical coach, he naturally has to show some skills. It’s not like I can only help the pitcher, I have many other tricks that I haven’t used yet!

After all, it would be a foolish dream to reach Koshien just by relying on pitching! In the fierce battle zone of Nishi Tokyo, it is basically impossible, so we have to help everyone in the team improve their strength!

Ohta glanced at Ochiai and thought to himself, he is indeed a coach who has been around Koshien all year round!

In front of the five batting nets, there are two batting pitchers and three pitching machines. As soon as training began, two hitting pitchers were robbed of their trade.

Sawamura and Akatsuki Fukitani each occupied one and stole the show, both clamoring to be sparring partners for their teammates.

"Strike, strike, strike, strikeout."

"Out!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Out!"

The two of them bullied the substitute players without giving in, and not many people in the first team could hit their ball. For example, Aso Takashi and Hidachi went up to give it a try, but they were able to deal with it neatly.

After the blow came back, the batters, far from being discouraged, were even more energetic. Everyone was very happy thinking how amazing it was! It turns out that the pitchers in my team are so powerful!
