Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

Kurosawa watched Sawamura being easily abducted by Miyuki. Now he only thinks about pitching and completely forgot that he said there was a conspiracy just now! He is indeed a baseball idiot! One or two of them were like crazy when it came to pitching, and their eyes glanced at Fang Gu, who was about to follow up.

"Don't forget that you don't have to play today. This game shouldn't last long. Just watch the game with peace of mind! The new training menu has been given to you. Have you practiced well recently?!"

"Yes!" Jiang Gu immediately calmed down and looked at the field seriously.

"Well!" Kurosawa looked at the obedient Fangtani and couldn't help but say a few more words: "Pitchers are not just good at throwing pitches, you have a lot to learn! Even if you are sitting down to watch the game, we You can also analyze the batting characteristics of the opposing batter and think about what pitch you should throw if you stand on the pitcher's mound to solve him, and how much effort you should use to throw it!"

"These are your future topics! You must know that there are no shortcuts on the road to growth. There are no pitchers who don't get hits, only pitchers who continue to evolve. The object you want to compare is yourself and not others. Is your ball speed Is it better than yesterday? Is the ball more powerful than yesterday? Is the pitch sharper than yesterday? Is the ball control better than yesterday? Only those who save time every day can get to the next level, and tackling hitters can verify your growth."

"Ah! I said too much and I don't know if you can understand it." Kurosawa said with a smile, "But I really want to know what kind of pitcher you want to be! You entered Qingdao to find someone who can catch the ball. The catcher of his own ball, then what?! What do you think of the catcher as a net?"

Kurosawa felt that Furuya's CPU was about to explode. Oh my, this is so interesting! It’s so cute to see how empty their heads are! Next time, why don't you tease Sawamura and Haruichi? Then he glanced at Ryosuke on the other side and immediately left his sight. Forget it, Sawamura was okay. As for Haruichi, Ryousuke is a bit of a brother-in-law!

But to be honest, pitchers like Sawamura and Furitani, who are highly talented but have a gap in ball control at first, were lucky enough to meet Kazuya directly! Otherwise, I still don’t know if my talents can be perfectly developed! Kurosawa's thoughts continued to wander.

Although it is said that after entering professional baseball, you will not encounter situations where the catcher's catching skills are not good, but the premise is that you can get in! If you don't notice it, you won't even have a chance! In this way, they are really lucky!

Speaking of which, I wonder if that guy Naru had a catcher after Yasang-senpai graduated! Go back and ask! In the future, if the opponent does not have a reliable catcher, it will be the worst game! After all, the catcher determines the upper and lower limits of the team, it's not just talk!

"Two out, two out!" Kurosawa was brought back from his thoughts by the noise on the court, ah! Is Kawakami in good condition today? It'll be two out soon!

On the field, Miyauchi used Kawakami's precise control of the ball in the corner to prevent the batter from getting on base. Although the ball was hit, it was quickly eliminated by the infield fielding. He gradually entered the state and quickly scored two outs. number.

"call out!"

Kurosawa looked at Kawakami on the court and thought silently, thinking that although the speed of the ball was not fast, the ball control was not comparable to that of Sawamura and Furitani. Moreover, he was even so good at changing the ball, but his mentality couldn't keep up!

"nice shot!"

"strike out!"

There was a lot of chatter in the audience. After all, a large number of people came here to watch Fang Gu's fast ball. Unexpectedly, he was not the starting pitcher in this inning.

But now looking at Kawakami's wonderful ball-handling skills, everyone feels that it is quite watchable. Qingdao is indeed a wealthy and established family! Even the bench players should not be underestimated!

After Kurosawa watched Kawakami come down, he quickly went to pour him a glass of water and almost forgot! "Kawakami, great shot!"

"Thank you!" Kurosawa looked at Kawakami who was obviously happy. It seemed that he was in good condition today! He himself is very satisfied!

"One-hit shortstop Kuramochi!"

In the second half of the first inning, Qingdao attacks. The first one to come on the scene is the engine of the line. Once it hits the base, it will directly detonate the entire line. The aggressiveness skyrockets!

"boom!"

"Ah ha!" Kuramochi quickly ran to first base. This speed is incredible every time I see it!

Kurosawa looked at Kuramochi who was far away from the base and thought to himself, this is great! It's really troublesome when such a person gets on base, it's such a pain in the ass! Fortunately, he is in his own team, but Inami seems to have one too! If you have a bad attitude, just explode!

However, it would be even better if Kuramochi’s on-base rate could be improved a little more! In this way, his threat will rise sharply, which can drive Qingdao's line attack.

There are still a lot of uncertainties now. What will we do when we join a new team? The seniors will graduate next year! But you performed extremely well today! I don’t know if it’s because the opponent’s ace’s ball is easier to hit or because it’s influenced by the audience on the sidelines! Kurosawa thought silently.

It’s quite normal when you think about it! It’s normal to want to perform on such a big stage at this age! However, there are those who perform exceptionally and those who cannot display their strength. For example, senior Itai, who has eight sticks, seems to be unlucky. His blow directly caused a double play and ended the game.

But even so, Qingdao still scored five points in the first inning, and the line was really pampering the pitchers who came on to pitch! Just let him pitch without pressure!

In today's game, it seems that Qingdao's victory is not a big problem. After all, even Qingdao is not afraid of a blow.

The man who was sitting on the sidelines observing the Qingdao team also touched the mustache on his chin at this time. He trembled all over and almost pulled off his beard. His pupils were shaking. He was thinking to himself that he didn't seem to have made it to all the main selections! Is the line attack power that strong? But these seem to be for third graders, so are you inviting me here to prepare for next year? !

The second-year pitcher is not an ace, but his ball control is okay. However, it would be better if he added a sinker to his pitching system. Then will he be able to pitch or not? Neither the catcher nor the pitcher I was optimistic about played today!

But that line is really strong! Especially the leader, Yuuki, has a professional level! He continued to look at the Qingdao people on the field leisurely.

At this time, Aomichi's newly hired technical coach Ochiai Hiromitsu was a coach from the famous Red Sea University Sagara. It was also common for him to lead the Koshien team. Sagara's playing style has always been delicate and impeccable in terms of technique, which made him It’s perfect to be Seido’s technical instructor, and joining forces with Coach Kataoka will definitely help the players improve their abilities to a higher level.

But it’s just fate! Just when Qingdao was looking for a new coach, he also happened to have some unpleasantness with the original school council and planned to move to another school.

Of course, after hearing the news, many high schools cast an olive branch towards him. Aomichi also had a very difficult time completing this battle for Ochiai! Because Qingdao's invitation was the most enthusiastic, it could be said that it was repeated over and over again, and the principal of the school also personally went out to talk to him.

After several considerations, Ochiai decided to accept Aomichi's invitation to coach the baseball team at the school. Of course, the most important thing is that the salary Aomichi gave him was the most satisfactory! After all, I still have a daughter to raise! With this thought in mind, he touched his mustache again.

You must know that when you choose a school, you have also seen the situation in Tokyo. West Tokyo is a very obvious fierce fighting area. Although it is not that you have never heard of Aomichi, they have never had a decisive trump card. It's a bit worse than Inami and Ichida Sangao. Originally, I thought it was Inomi who made it to Koshien this time! The strength of Narimiya Naru Kanto No.1 is obvious to all! Ochiai thought unexpectedly.

At that time, after watching Aomichi win the Hagar ticket under the leadership of Kataoka, I thought that this job was going to be ruined! After all, others have already achieved results, so why do you do it yourself?

Unexpectedly, Qingdao called again and said that he wanted to invite me to be their technical guidance, and there was no change in salary and benefits. I saw that they all invited me sincerely! Not embarrassed to refuse, he agreed to go to Qingdao.

Besides, I am actually quite interested in Coach Kataoka. If I go now, Miyuki will see a lot of good prospects in this and the next class, and I will feel a sense of accomplishment in teaching him. Moreover, this time I have even entered the next level of Koshien. We don’t have enough money to recruit any good candidates for the new semester!

Therefore, after he formally signed the application agreement with Aomichi, he said hello to the school and came to Hyogo Prefecture to observe the selection of freshmen and second-year students at Aomichi. He wanted to see with his own eyes the ones he liked. How did the players perform in actual combat in this Koshien competition?

Of course, I didn't see how the first and second graders were doing, but I was shocked by the strength of the third graders first! That liner really deserved to be beaten by Inami! Those people are very interesting! It's a pity that the third grader has nothing to do with him!

After all, his favorite second-year pitchers Kurosawa and Miyuki, and first-year high-powered pitcher Fukiya did not play. These are the talents he wants to cultivate! Although I haven’t found anything strange about Kurosawa’s straight ball yet, the speed of the ball is pretty good!

Well, the rest of Kuramochi's footwork is useful, but it's useless if he can't get on base. But actually, I'm quite curious about the pitcher named Sawamura Eijun! His body looks very soft, and that pitching posture is specially practiced! It always seems to make the batter unable to seize the opportunity to strike! It seems that if there is anything special about it, we can only go back to Qingdao to observe it closely!

Although that guy is really noisy in the bullpen! Like now the guy is yelling again.

"Kawakami-senpai, come on! One out, one out! Pitch slowly!" Sawamura shouted. Although he was practicing pitching in the bullpen, I have to say that the little angel really has an eye for everything and an ear for everything!

Kawakami on the field got a hit in this inning, two people were on base, and he got one out. As soon as he saw this situation, Little Angel's voice support was immediately in place!

"Sawamura, do you still want to vote? If you don't vote, I'll go back!" Miyuki said helplessly, can you really concentrate on it?

"Damn Miyuki Kazuya, of course I have to vote! I will have to rely on me to play later! You should also support Kawakami-senpai! You have to shout out! ヽ(`Д′)?"

"Are you looking down on Ah Xian too much? It's just that he can still survive this crisis on his own!"

The situation on the field was exactly as Miyuki expected. Kawakami and Miyauchi directly used their defense to grab a double kill this time, immediately ending the game.

"Hahahaha, Kawakami-senpai is really awesome! Come on, Miyuki-senpai, let's practice shooting!"

"Are you respectful again this time?! Didn't you call me Miyuki Kazuya just now! Remember to respect your senior next time!"

"Go! Go! I'm going to throw the ball!"

"I hope you can shoot well! Don't start cheering for the line again then!"

"I will definitely practice well this time. I can only rely on me to end the game today!"

Tanba and Kurosawa said: This guy is still as confident as ever! You can’t see anyone else at all! There is a Jianggu gas stove next to it.

In the end, Kawakami, who pitched five consecutive games, only lost one point in the fourth game and ended the game without losing any more points. He completed the task perfectly. After all, one point was not worth compared with the more than 20 points scored by his own line. Mention it! What is worth celebrating is that Itai-senpai also connected well to the line a few times later.
