Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

At night, the sky is filled with stars, shining brightly like gems embedded in the dark night.

The combination of the semi-finals has also been announced. At ten o'clock the day after tomorrow, Qingdao will participate in the semi-finals and face Xianquan High School. If they win this time, they will win the ticket to the finals. Everyone sitting in the conference room of Qingxinliao I am also very excited!

Chris started the meeting, telling everyone the information about the Xianquan baseball team, and said calmly: "They are the top eight winning team with more than 80 members. However, this summer when they faced off against the senior high school students in the city, they fell into a trap. The last point of the pitching battle was a bitter one!”

"I remember they had a pitcher who was super tall!"

"Yes!"

"It should be more than two hundred centimeters!" the players commented.

"He has been carrying the nickname of ace pitcher since the first grade. He has immeasurable potential and even professional scouts are optimistic about him, the giant Yosuke Maki!" Chris continued, "He uses his height advantage to throw wide-angle straight balls and is known as The curve with the highest release point in Japan.”

"The tallest in Japan?! A tall man throws a curveball, isn't this...Σ(?д?;)" Sawamura said in confusion, and then looked at Tanba, isn't this!!!Σ(?Д??)?

"As the starting pitcher for the semifinals the day after tomorrow, I plan to let Tanba pitch first!" Kataoka said bluntly.

Danbo was startled and immediately woke up and said firmly: "Yes!"

Everyone in the conference room was happy for Danbo, especially the third-year seniors.

"Not bad, I'm back to the starting lineup!" Liang Sang said with a smile.

"A showdown between curveball pitchers!" Kuramochi laughed.

"Even if you are taller than anyone else, you can't lose your curveball!" Chunsang said with a grin.

"But with the shape of his head, he should be a big winner!" Team Zhe joked.

"What does it have to do with the shape of your head?!" Chunsang couldn't help but complain.

"Well said, Mr. Azhi!"

"The hair shape should be a big win!"

"Look at this feeling!"

"Hahahaha!"

For a time, the conference room was filled with happy sounds and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed.

"Kawakami, please work harder and be ready to play as usual!" Kataoka explained some preparations for the game the day after tomorrow.

"Yes!"

"It's up to you, Kawakami!"

"I will work hard!"

"And you, Sawamura! I will also find opportunities for you to play, and you must also warm up and prepare in advance!" Kataoka warned.

Sawamura was so surprised that he couldn't help but stare at Coach Kataoka and said, "Can I?! But I was beaten today, I was beaten!" (?Д?≡?д?)!?

"I want Fukiya, who is currently attending the competition and boarding the board, to have a good rest!" Kataoka said the reason calmly, and saw that Fukiya, who was sitting next to Sawamura, was sleeping soundly. After saying this, Fukiya immediately woke up, "He didn't It feels like it, but it should have accumulated a lot of fatigue!”

Jiang Gu looked around in confusion, thinking why should I rest? ! ! Σ(?д?;)

Kataoka continued: "Kurosawa, you should also go down and rest in the next game, and prepare for Inami with all your strength! Itai, you will start and prepare for Sensen!"

"Yes!" Kurosawa was also very surprised that he was directly kicked out of the starting position, but he also understood the coach very well! If Itai-senpai is not allowed to play in the next game, he may not have a chance in the future. He still loves his players! (▽^)

"Tamba, Kawakami and Sawamura will leave the competition to you three the day after tomorrow, do you hear me!"

"Yes!"

"That's it for the starting lineup, disband! Take a rest early to eliminate your fatigue!"

"Sorry, I didn't hear clearly?!" Jiang Gu's voice was directly drowned in everyone's responses, "Yes!"

Chris, Miyuki and Miyauchi took the three pitchers to a review meeting. On the way, Miyuki laughed and joked with Kurosawa: "What a tragedy! It seems that you are not satisfied with the game supervision today and actually kicked you out of the starting lineup. You’ve got a seat, so sit down and watch our performance the day after tomorrow!”

"Hmph, look at your performance where you were easily eliminated! It's really exciting and I'm looking forward to it! (づˉ3ˉ)づ" Kurosawa said with a smile.

"Ah! It's too much. I can still fight out! ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ"

Kurosawa looked at the disbelieving expressions on the faces of the two people who heard Miyuki's lies and knew that they believed it. He said helplessly: "Kazuya, you don't know that the supervisor didn't mean that. Don't mislead them!"

"Hahahaha, it's very interesting. Who knew they would really believe it!"╮(ˉ▽ˉ)╭

"Huh?! Miyuki, you bastard glasses catcher?!" Sawamura reacted and was so angry that he jumped in anger, while Fukiya looked like he was lucky it wasn't like this, Kurosawa-senpai is so powerful! (??????)??

Everyone came to the bullpen, and Chris began to summarize the problems that the double pitchers had during today's pitching game.

"It's natural to get hits when playing baseball, and it's natural for you to lose runs as a pitcher." Chris said gently, "If you start to get into chaos on the pitcher's mound, first look around and actively shout to your teammates around you to calm yourself down. Calm down your mood."

"Some pitchers will walk around the mound to calm down, and some will talk to the ball to improve their concentration." Miyuki added that he has seen the reactions of pitchers who have been hit.

"No matter what, don't mess around in the bullpen! I'll beat you up next time you dare to do that." Miyauchi said angrily, obviously talking about Sawamura hahahaha! (?w?)

Sawamura has become autistic, and Fukitani has gone dark because he can't play in the semifinals hahaha!

"Hahaha, Feng Gu, don't be like this. I didn't even say anything. Why don't you want to sit down with me?" Kurosawa said with a smile.

"Eh?! Kurosawa-senpai isn't going to play either!" Fangtani felt like he was instantly healed! ~(ˉ▽ˉ~)

"Yes, it is!(????-)?"

"Minano, if you were hit, tell them how you solved your mental problem!" Miyuki joked.

Kurosawa looked at the double-throwing sight and thought for a moment and said: "Most of the strategies are to throw to them the most balls! Sometimes in order to make the plan smoother, I will even take the initiative to let them get on base and then directly It’s more fun to win a double kill or something, and watch them look like they’re really unlucky and try harder next time!”

"Naruto, you are really mean!"

Kurosawa looked at everyone's expressions of approval and said helplessly: "But as a pitcher, you can't help but get beaten out! Such pitchers don't exist. After all, accidents will always happen!"

"I remember one time I just couldn't find the pitching feel. I was hit and scored one after another and then left the game. Also, because I didn't understand the opponent's strength beforehand, I was hit with a home run!" Kurosawa recalled that there was a situation in his previous life. He couldn't adjust after a season, and was directly sent to the second team for a period of time. The memory of Lei Shi directly competing with others when he first joined the team and then making a big mistake was really miserable.

"I think you care so much now because you haven't been beaten too little. It would be better if you were beaten a few more times, hahaha!~(ˉ▽ˉ~)" What kind of devil's speech is this?

"Minano, please stop talking. I'm quite curious about where you competed before coming to Qingdao?!" Miyuki rolled his eyes, and then asked curiously.

"Ah! Didn't I tell you that? My father was once a professional baseball catcher and is now a coach in a club!" Kurosawa said with a smile.

"Eh?! Of course you didn't say that!" Miyuki said speechlessly.

"Is it the famous major league catcher Konki Kurosawa?!" Chris thought for a moment and seemed to have mentioned it in a conversation with his father.

"Hey! I didn't expect Senior Chris to have heard of my father's name! That was a long time ago!" Kurosawa looked at the people who still wanted to gossip and quickly changed the topic, "Okay! I see Sawamura You seem to have something to say! You have been very silent since just now and you are not like your usual self. Have you not recovered from the shock yet?!"

"I've been wondering why Anxiety is willing to give me another chance!" Sawamura obediently told what he had been puzzled about.

"Huh?! Why are you so stubborn about this? With a personality like yours, aren't you usually extremely happy?" Miyuki complained after hearing this.

"No, but I put the team in a disadvantageous situation..."

"Hey, don't tell me that you'll never pitch on the mound again after a home run! o(ˉ┰ˉ*)ゞ" Miyuki interrupted Sawamura's guilty words sharply, And put all the responsibility on himself, "I said it was my mistake in matching the ball! ~(ˉ▽ˉ~)~"

"The person who made the mistake dares to speak so loudly! (;｀O′)o" Sawamura immediately regained his energy and said.

"Hahaha, then Sawamura has to be like you and never come out! If you know that nothing is wrong, how do you know where you need to improve! If you don't know until the end, it might be too late!" Kurosawa complained. Tao, it seems that gentler words are not enough, so let’s be more straightforward! Silly Village sometimes really can’t understand people’s words! ╮(╯▽╰)╭

The two played a mixed doubles match against Sawamura. Chris smiled slightly at the scene and seemed to have fully recovered! Then let’s make it clearer!

"If Miyuki and Kurosawa don't speak clearly to this guy, he won't understand!" Chris, as Sawamura's master, can say that he understands Sawamura's brain better than anyone else_(:3」∠)_

"It makes sense, especially this guy!" Miyuki affirmed, then stood up from Kurosawa and walked towards Sawamura.

"Listen up, idiot!" He squatted down in front of him, "You learned the new pitching posture just three months after entering the first grade, right?"

"Hey!" It's all thanks to Senior Chris!

"But that will only make the hitter unclear about where you release the ball. It does not mean that your ball power and speed have improved significantly! So even if the ball does not hit the core, it will still be hit to the outfield. As long as you are caught out of the bat. The machine can even hit a home run wall. Ball control, ball power, and experience are all things you can learn endlessly." Sawamura said that he felt like he was useless.

Miyuki continued: "You are just a fledgling pitcher now! You also need to change your pig head!" Sawamura had already started to burst into tears. Isn't it true that he has no merit and is still an idiot!

"Even so, Coach, what he looks forward to most about you is here!" Miyuki lightly punched Sawamura's heart with his fist, "Your tough heart!" Damn it! This man is so good! ?(????)

Kurosawa looked at Miyuki who was casually exuding his catcher charm again, and felt extremely unhappy! Hum, anyway, today is the day when you and I debut together as a group. You don’t have anything you want to say to me? ! ˉへˉ

Chris looked at Feng Gu who was sleeping again and said helplessly: "Feng Gu has a good rest and it's also the pitcher's job. The coach will rely on you pitchers to last until the end this summer!"

Miyuki looked at the double shot and thought helplessly to these two idiots, you have already become an important force in the team!

"Let's go together, Koshien!??(?? ?? ??)" Miyuki affirmed.

"Yes! Let's go together!" Kurosawa looked at Miyuki's back and affirmed. You will definitely not have any regrets this time! This is why I am here, and all my hard work must not be in vain!
