Ace of Diamonds Golden Boots Silver Rod

Chapter 772 It’s like a lifetime ago

"If we win tomorrow's game, we will have to face Lien Chan in the next semi-finals and finals.

Since the team’s goal is to dominate the country, there is no need to talk about the Kanto Competition!

My goal in all competitions is to win as much as possible!

It doesn’t matter whether you are playing with your current nickname or not, let’s show the determination of all players as a team! "

"Hi!!"

“Everyone else, go back!

Immortal, Miyuki, you two stay! "Coach Kataoka said finally.

So the rest of the people left one after another.

"I have no other intention of keeping you two here!

Tomorrow's opponent cannot be underestimated!

So I hope you will lead the team's line and put pressure on the opponent on the offensive end!

I don't care about the process. If I can put enough pressure on them, their precise small ball tactics will also be affected! "

After hearing Coach Kataoka's instructions, the two nodded.

“I’ve also been paying more attention to Xiang Gu recently. To be honest, his recent performance is a bit strange!

I want to know the reason as soon as possible, so I hope you two can help too! "

"Hi!!"

……

On April 20th, Aido players once again appeared on the second court of Meiji Jingu Shrine!

It's obviously still a smooth spring, but the heat of the stadium is enough to make people sweat a little.

In the morning, Coach Kataoka announced that Tetsuo would be the starter in left field today, and Sawamura would be the starting pitcher, and game time arrived.

……

"puff!"

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

“The batter is out!!”

"Fingerball again!"

In the second half of the first inning, Kuramochi struck out the opponent as soon as he came up.

Not long after, it was already two outs, and Hakushu-senpai was on the first base bag.

It was Xiandao's turn to play in the lane, but the opponent had no intention of a head-on confrontation at first.

And Sendō didn't wait too long. He caught a bad ball on the second pitch and hit a single.

Turned into a runner on third base with two outs!

However, the placement of Miyuki's attack was not very good and he was knocked out.

Sawamura's recent start has not been generally stable.

In the first inning, three people were successfully eliminated. In the first half of the second inning, although the opponent allowed four bases, they immediately got two outs.

But now it is a situation of two good goals and no bad goals!

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

“The batter is out!!”

“Low edge on the outside corner!!

The batter strikes out! !

Seido's starting pitcher Sawamura also suppressed his opponent with zero points in this inning! ! "

“Nice ball!!!

Sawamura! ! "

"Nice ball! Sawamura!"

“Excellent performance!!”

A group of outfielders and senior students in the stands expressed their love for their team darling!

However, Sawamura himself did not express much and slowly ran back to the bench.

He looks a lot more mature, but in fact he just concentrates too much on the game.

“It’s a great start today too!

Although there was no chance to play in the last game.

But I have been in good shape during recent practices, and as soon as I came on the field, I showed my full strength. It would be funny if I didn’t have it last year...

You have really grown up! Eijun!

Are you getting closer to that number?

If Axiao still can't find the rhythm, I'm afraid..." Looking at Sawamura's back, Xiandao secretly thought in his heart.

For Xiandao, it doesn't matter which one of the two is the ace!

After all, Qingdao decides which team will take responsibility based on performance.

"That's awesome! Sawamura-senpai!"

“At first I thought he was just an ordinary relief pitcher!

All I remember is that wrestling he did in the summer! "

"Pfft! Me too!!" The first graders had already begun to discuss in a low voice.

"In the beginning, we defeated the other party with just three people!

Two innings of one hit, no runs, and two strikeouts!

It looks like it's in pretty good shape! Sawamura-senpai!

It feels like such a waste to have such a pitcher as a substitute on the bench! "Seto Takuma sighed.

However, when he was talking, he took a crazy peek at Okumura next to him!

“Wouldn’t it be nice to say to a pitcher like that, ‘please disappear’?!!

It’s good that the news didn’t reach the ears of other seniors and make the matter bigger...

Ahhhh! If only I were here! ! "Seeing Kōshu still looking at the court with the same expression, Seto gritted his teeth and felt a little irritable.

"Although Sendo-san said there is no problem, but..." Things have happened, and Seto can only resign himself to fate, and secretly decided in his heart that he will not leave this natural side easily in the future...

“It’s still a very comfortable pitch as always!!

I really want to try throwing and catching with him..." Asada was thinking about the throwing and catching that Sawamura had forgotten before.

Asada, who had such an idea, has officially had the opportunity to integrate into this group. I believe that it won't be long before he can see the true nature of his seniors and no longer be afraid.

"Don't be afraid to miss and keep putting pressure on them!!" Coach Kataoka shouted.

"Hi!!"

“Free shoulder movement…

The fingertips don’t feel bad either…

I feel like I'm in pretty good shape today.                                                                                                 The boss said that if you want to win the game, let me become the starting pitcher! !

I want to respond to his expectations! ! "Sawamura picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, feeling every part of his body with his heart, full of fighting spirit in his heart.

"The shot was very good!" Miyuki, still wearing protective gear, suddenly turned to Sawamura and said.

"Is that really true?!" Sawamura was startled by the sudden voice behind him, but he was very excited about the content.

After all, Sawamura believed in Miyuki's evaluation more than his own feelings!

"It feels good, doesn't it?

……

Want to try it in a certain game? Numbers! "Miyuki thought for a moment and then asked.

"Just give it a try!" Seeing Sawamura's surprised look, Miyuki said with a bad smile.

Then Sawamura also smiled evilly...

After all, many of Numbers' balls have been used in training, and Miyuki also wants to know what kind of shots Sawamura, who is in such good condition, can do in actual combat!

"These guys...

It’s really not a worry!

However, let’s create a little opportunity for you! "Xiandao, who heard the conversation between the two, thought to himself.

“Spring Market!

Be on base next time! !

Otherwise I will have to use safety strike! ! "Xiandao said to Xiaochun like a joke.

"Yeah!" Xiaochun smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry! I'll definitely hit base next time!" Kuramochi understood something and said with a smile.

Since the four sticks are so anxious to score, then naturally these seniors have to help out!

And it’s all for that Baga! !

"That's right!!

The bases will be full the next time you take the field! !

Just take away all the delicious food! "Senior Maezono said loudly.

He finally returned to the starting lineup and was particularly excited today.

"It has nothing to do with you whether you are playing in the lower position!!

And you're the leadoff hitter, right?

Get out now! ! "Kuramochi-senpai complained.

"Not good!!" Maezono left in a hurry.

……

"It's not Fukiya who is the starter!" When Sawamura just walked onto the bench, the main player of the third grade of the City University had just walked to the other teammates. When he saw the list on the scoreboard, Miyagawa said.

"That left-hander Sawamura! Sendō's childhood sweetheart!" Sasaki also spoke.

"Haruhi, who previously imagined that her opponent was Furuya, must have panicked for a moment!"

"The opening performance of the previous games was not good either. Is that guy Fang Gu in bad form recently?"

"It's possible that it burned down in Koshien!!"

Others started laughing and joking.

"But on top of this, and with Kawakami who throws sideways, the pitching staff is solid!"

“The lack of pitching last year seems like a lie!!”

“Didn’t Xiandao’s first fight go out?

Qingdao had two hits in the first inning but no runs? "Sasaki looked at the scoreboard and suddenly said.

"Do not!

With the runner on first base on second and second, the guy hit an infield hit that put the runner on base!

The one who didn't get out was that Miyuki! !

Speaking of which, that immortal is really a strange person!

One bad ball and no good ball, shooting against such a tricky ball path as a cross ball! !

It doesn't matter if you wait a little, right?

If you don't take a shot, it's a bad shot! ! "The person below explained with a smile.

“But to be able to help a runner by two bases with a ball like that in my first swing at the first plate!

It is indeed a monster! That rascal! "The people next to him also spoke.

"That guy only shoots the ball that can be hit, and he doesn't care whether it is a good ball or a bad ball!

Although sometimes people can’t understand it…

However, the opponent won't have any easy shots for him to decide the outcome! "Although Sasaki didn't see it, he listened to his teammates' explanation and explained.

"That guy is indeed a troublesome person!" Siba Xingtian said.

"It has nothing to do with you, right? You're a first baseman!!" Miyagawa complained.

"Do not!

Our ace is the Saint of Light! "Hoshida said seriously.

Although this guy is a natural, sometimes his words are difficult to refute...

At this time, Miyagawa, although he felt that Hoshida was full of flaws and wanted to complain about it, he just didn't know where to start!

The client mentioned by Hoshida was still wearing headphones and singing along!

Didn't hear what they said at all, and there wasn't much to see since it was practice time on the defensive side.

Staring straight at the court like this, it's obvious that his attention is on the song!

The game soon started again. Maezono, who had said he would definitely hit the bases before, was out with two balls...

"Seven bats! Left fielder, Yuuki-kun!"

When Zhedi came on the stage, his broad and strong body immediately silenced the entire audience.

With such a body, you can tell he is the type that can play for a long time, especially for his debut as a first-year player!

As last year's Hajia champion and a lesson learned from Xiandao, it is natural for Zhedi, who entered the first team in the spring competition, to receive such attention.

Even Tianjiu's expression changed slightly, and Kasugaichi's ace couldn't believe that this body was from a first grader.

"It's really like a lifetime ago!" Sendao couldn't help but sigh when he heard "Yuki-kun" broadcasting in the venue.

　I didn't go to bed until 3:30 last night. I could bear it at first, but after the medicine wore off, I felt like I was almost sent away because of my headache.

　　My headache finally went away today, but it got worse again because of the bad things I did these past two days.

　　It was extremely cold tonight even though the stove was on. My hands were frozen. The most outrageous thing was that I had to breathe through my mouth in the room, and I could actually see white gas...

　　This is inside the house! sleeping house...

　　I slept in a sweater and a hat last night...
