Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

"But Fukitani and Sawamura did really well today!" Kurosawa said with a smile.

"Really! Hahaha!" It's so obvious that these two are so naturally happy! But pitchers seem to be easy-to-coax creatures!

"But Sawamura, you still have too few weapons. I think your outside corners can be improved. The inside corners and Carter alone are still too monotonous!" Kurosawa complained, "Senior Chris, what do you think? After all, the big You spend most of the time teaching Sawamura!”

"Eh?! Is that so?! Master, what should we do?!"

"Well! Kurosawa's idea is also my next plan for you. I have already considered these, but I didn't expect you to master the inside corner kick so quickly. Now it is almost time to start practicing the outside corner kick! Let's go, take advantage of it Now there is still time for me to explain it to you!" Chris said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, Master!" Sawamura became excited as soon as he heard that he was going to start learning new weapons, and quickly followed Chris' footsteps.

Kurosawa silently thought about the evolutionary route of the double throw. I know it, but the foundation still needs to be laid! Now they don't need to be too hasty and can take their time, although the two of them will definitely not give in!

Both Sawamura and Furitani's pitching requires physical fitness! But that guy Sawamura definitely doesn't need to worry about him. After all, senior Chris has done a lot of research in this area. He has outstanding talents and his body is naturally soft, so he is not easily injured.

Then once one is solved, only the other is left! Kurosawa turned his attention to Feng Gu, who had been staring at him since the beginning.

Seeing that Kurosawa finally paid attention to him, Fang Gu's arrogance surged and he silently asked Kurosawa-senpai, "Where's me?" How can I become stronger!

Miyuki and Kurosawa on the side looked at each other and snickered. These two people are so interesting! I’m really looking forward to where the two of them will have evolved in a year!

yes! I'm looking forward to it too! Kurosawa thought silently, but he said the opposite: "You! Control the ball and have physical strength! No matter how fast the ball is, it's useless, if you don't control the ball, the game will still be over! As for physical strength, I know you run every day, so you Just keep going, don’t worry! But you’re still a little too thin, and you’re a fast pitcher so you’re easily injured, so let’s add some muscle-building and flexibility training!”

After hearing this, Jiang Gu slowly became petrified. How could he not only practice ball control, but also practice other training? Then there would be less time for pitching! ⊙﹏⊙

"You don't want Sawamura to be the ace when the time comes, but you yourself have to quit due to injury!" Kurosawa accurately grasped Daigu's weak point and hit him with a fatal blow.

"Boom!" After hearing this, the Jianggu gas stove turned on full fire, "I will practice hard!"

"Well, it's good that you understand. This is also prepared for you to better practice changing the ball later. Come on! I will study the menu with Senior Chris and give it to you. You can practice ball control first!"

"Yeah!" After hearing that he would also have a new weapon in the future, Fanggu left with satisfaction. I will never give up the pitcher's mound to you.

"Nan Ye, you are actually worse than me!" Miyuki said with a smile, "What does the transformation ball have to do with those trainings? It's really awesome! But those two people are really easy to deceive!"

Miyuki thought about it silently, but judging from the results, it was indeed a good arrangement! The seeds have been planted and they will bear fruit before I graduate! It’s really exciting!

"It's not even close!" Kurosawa looked into Miyuki's eyes and said bluntly, this is not enough and there is still some fertilizer left! But I have already made a proposal to the supervisor. Someone who can help them grow quickly will come soon. I hope it will be a powerful person!

All that can be done before that is to lay a solid foundation for the two of them! The bottom line is that I don’t know how to throw a changeup at all! (/TДT)/

But professional matters should be left to professionals! Kurosawa thought silently about the night after the final, and after thinking for a long time, he went to find the coach, and expressed his purpose of coming tactfully.

What the team lacks now may be a professional technical guide. Although your coaching ability is very strong and can inspire the enthusiasm of the players, the coach is a pitcher after all, so there may still be some lack of hard-core aspects. If someone can be found to make up for this aspect and the two of them join forces, Qingdao should be able to reach a higher level.

Fortunately, the coach is not the kind of person who doesn't listen to opinions. As long as you make sense, he will listen silently. He is a very good coach! It’s just that the pressure in the eyes is too strong hahahahaha! But it’s only because I believe in Coach Kataoka’s character that I dare to give my opinion! Kurosawa thought silently.

"Eh?! What!" Miyuki was confused, it was so interesting! Nanye, what did you do again? !

"Hey! You'll know when the time comes!" Kurosawa said with a smile. I wonder if the school has a candidate! Obviously, I didn't expect that the school had already made plans in this regard. It was really unintentional!

"Really! Then I'll look forward to it!" Miyuki said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned, but in fact he kept muttering in his mind that Nanye had seen through my thoughts just now! Why are you so transparent in front of him? !

As an independent and guarded person, I feel a little nervous. Although the familiarity makes me relax, the feeling of being easily seen through is still a bit awkward!

However, Kurosawa was completely unaware of this, because they had gotten along like this before, and they could basically understand or guess what the other person meant by looking at each other and combining their movements with the current scene. After returning, Miyuki and I still had a tacit understanding, so I didn’t think much about it at all!

But it won’t have any impact! After all, the most important thing now is to win the national championship!

The two looked at each other and decided to go and relax for a while before going back to rest!

"Let's go!" We smiled tacitly. Sure enough, this guy and I get along very well! This thought flashed through both of their minds at the same time.

"The wealthy family is recovering!"

"New monsters arrive at Koshien!"

"The ball speed is over 150 km! In the first round of Koshien, a super rookie is revealed!"

……

The day after the game, all the major media and TV stations were full of news about Qingdao High School. Qingdao was finally proud for the first time in six years.

Among them, Fukiya's reports accounted for a large part. After all, the speed of the ball directly attracted most of the attention. The rest was Yuuki's super high school-level hitting and Miyuki's particularly eye-catching catching ability. However, these two people were originally It’s normal to have such professional concerns!

The rest are newspapers analyzing Seido's strong hitting, such as Kuramochi's speed, Ryo-san's ball selection, Kurosawa's home run, etc. Everyone in Seido has been reported more or less. .

After all, this is only the first game, and the opponent is not very strong, so it cannot reflect other outstanding performances! But this is better, less information will be exposed.

"Jiang Gu is so awesome!" The senior Jiang Gu who looked at the newspaper also marveled.

"Ok?"

"Look, this is it!"

"Wow!"

"It's in the newspapers here too!"

"That's awesome!"

"Ha, why do they all belong to that boy from Jiangu!" Chunsang said angrily, "I'm not good at it. I really have no vision."

"Ah Chun, don't mind! We don't have any! I'm so envious! I became famous in the first grade! Now even Jiaziyuan is famous!" Liang Sang said with a smile, he has turned black! Let go of the poor newspaper in your hand!

"Mmmmmmm!" Sawamura came over with a dark expression, wanting to read the newspaper secretly but not daring to read it.

"If you care, just watch it yourself!" Kominato next to him said with a cold sweat on his face.

Senior Kadoda next to him also had a cold look on his face and made some room for him so that he could watch.

"Mmmmmmm!" Sawamura came closer to search again, and then exclaimed: "Where is Sawamura! Where is the name of Sawamura, the ace of the Flame Relay?!"

"Wow! You have already thought of your own name in such a short time?!" Kurosawa said in surprise, how amazing!

"Don't be curious about this kind of thing, Kurosawa! Idiot, how can you have such a trump card!" Kuramochi complained directly to the two people.

"You two idiots, one cares so much, but the other just fell asleep!!!" Chunsang couldn't help but join the complaint camp.

"Senior Fox Dog!"

"Ha, Sawamura, you want to die!" Chunsang immediately exploded!

"Don't yell, Sawamura! Have you forgotten where we are!" Ryosuke came up and gave him a knife.

"It hurts, Onisan~"

"Who is you, Ou Ni-san?!" Liang Sang rarely felt like he was being choked!

"Sawamura is coming to play shogi!" Tetsuo said.

Ever since he finished playing chess with Sawamura, Captain Zhe felt that he had found a soulmate, so he would invite him to play chess with him whenever he got the chance!

"Azhe, where did you come from with shogi?" Chunsang said speechlessly.

"Major General, I'm here!"

"Hahahaha, Azhe, you have a nickname too!"

"That boy Sawamura is still so popular with seniors! But teasing him is really fun!" Miyuki said with a dark smile, although he was a little envious!

"Are you envious? Kazuya sometimes speaks too frankly to seniors! Otherwise, the relationship with Tanba-senpai would not be so stiff now! But it's okay! I think it's good for you to be like this, there's no problem at all!" Kurosawa said with a smile, at least he's not the kind of person who only works behind his back. To be honest, although Kazuya's words don't sound good, the truth is true.

But people who understand your philosophy will always understand you. That’s what we call like-minded! After all, we are here to play baseball and have a common goal. For the rest, our strength will do the talking!

"Eh?!" Miyuki's eyes widened. Unexpectedly, there were still people who thought it was okay for him to speak! Although I have always felt that there is no hierarchy in baseball, and others will not let you down just because you are older or younger. In the end, your strength should speak for itself, but it is still a bit sad to be told that you have a bad personality all the time!

"But he does have a bad character, I won't deny that!" Kurosawa complained after understanding Miyuki's thoughts.

"Eh?! I don't want to be called a bad character by you!" Miyuki retorted, obviously you also have a bad character! But do you think I think it’s okay to speak? Forget it, I won’t argue with you this time!

"You have to practice this afternoon, right?" Baishu also came to see his good friend Kawakami, looking at him who was still reading the newspaper, and asked.

"But it seems like it's only two hours!" Kawakami's eyes widened in fright at Hakushu's sudden voice, and then he replied.

Some people are doing swing practice! The baseball boys really can’t sit still for a moment!

The atmosphere in the whole place was extremely happy, and as expected, the little angel Sawamura only had to be there! With him in the room, the atmosphere will never be quiet! Everyone is becoming active again! He is worthy of being the king of opening ceremony!

But why are everyone here drinking coffee and reading newspapers so leisurely? Isn’t it because of boredom? It’s boring to stay in your own room, and you can’t adapt to the environment!

Of course Kurosawa said that I didn’t want to be a salty fish in bed, but I couldn’t stand Miyuki’s boredom! This kind of rare leisure time makes baseball-loving teenagers really restless!

每年的夏季甲子园开始前几天，49支球队会进行第1次抽签以决定前3轮的对战情况，3轮过后决出8强，再进行第2次抽签。

In the first round of the draw, 1 teams will directly enter the second round with a bye, which means that whether they get a bye depends entirely on luck. Therefore, although the luck of the Zhejiang team this time is not very good, it is not bad either. After all, it's very possible that even if you encounter a strong team, it won't necessarily be a first round trip, such as Baoming! Even if all the information about the narrow victory is exposed, it will be very tragic!

However, due to this completely different format from the regional competition, Qingdao’s next opponent has not yet been announced. There is a week between games, and Kataoka also ordered everyone to rest, and the training is mainly restorative, so now everyone in Qingdao is in a state of standby.
