Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 110 A false alarm

One out, runner on second base.

There is also the tough Kamiya on the base.

Qingdao High School never expected that Daocheng Industrial would adopt such a tactical approach at the beginning.

They combined two commonly used tactics into one and caught Qingdao High School by surprise.

Yukichi had been thinking about defending against one of these tactics, but he didn't expect to be tricked by Daocheng Industrial.

The little thoughts of the Koshien team are not so easy to understand.

West Tokyo's baseball strength has always been among the top three in the country.

As long as the West Tokyo team makes it to Koshien, it will almost secure a spot in the top 16.

Daocheng Industry can make its way out of the siege in this environment, but Qingdao High School cannot just "bump into" it.

Even though Qingdao High School only lost to Daocheng Industrial by one point last summer, there is still a gap in strength.

A fifty-fifty split is the most.

"Third batter, third baseman, Yoshizawa-san."

"Pretend to face off, but actually throw a diversionary ball to second base."

Miyuki gave a secret signal.

We can’t let Kamiya get too comfortable, we have to make him feel a sense of crisis.

This is Qingdao High School’s last stubbornness.

Pretend to throw the ball, then immediately turn around and throw the ball directly behind you.

Ryosuke filled in the position quickly without hesitation.

"Snapped!"

Kamiya's reaction ability is also top-notch. After realizing that Tamba's attention was on him, he rushed back quickly.

With a "diving" posture, Kamiya jumped back to second base.

"Safety!"

The referee raised his hands and declared it safe.

It's difficult to pin down a runner, and most of the time it's just about disrupting their rhythm and preventing them from thinking about stealing bases.

That's it.

For those timid runners, the containment ball works great.

Obviously Kamiya is not that kind.

In order to disrupt Danbo's rhythm, he chose to stay away from the base to mess with Danbo's mentality.

Tamba was upset to see that Kamiya was not in a safe place.

He has quick adjustment ability, and the force of restraining the ball just now has passed. Kamiya should be able to regain his rhythm quickly.

This rhythm includes Kamiya's breathing, the rhythm of running to third base, and many more.

"Just give him a little warning, don't worry about the rest, just keep pitching."

After that, Miyuki hit the signal of a high straight ball to the outside corner.

Facing Daocheng Industrial's central line, they must not take it lightly.

Plus, there is a Kamiya on the base, so they have more things to consider.

"Whoosh!"

"Outside corner high."

When Yoshizawa saw the baseball coming, he immediately locked onto it.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

The swing missed!

Yoshizawa was still too anxious and swung at the first pitch, giving away a strike.

"Beautiful, the rhythm is getting better."

When Miyuki saw Yoshizawa's swing miss, he knew that Yoshizawa had entered their rhythm.

I won’t be afraid anymore.

Next ball: a straight ball just below the center.

In this game, the balls that Miyuki gave were all very difficult to hit, and even if they were hit, it was difficult to form a tricky long hit.

Daocheng Industry is a very formidable opponent, and you need to think twice before taking any action.

Once they caught my mistake, it was easy to take me down.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball flew towards Yuki's gloves like a big meteor.

"Qiang!"

Yoshizawa still chose to take action.

Yoshizawa is not a lazy player. When he sees a good ball, he will swing the bat actively.

The baseball hit the ground and bounced toward second base.

"Beautiful, not well played!"

Miyuki was delighted when he saw the baseball bouncing towards second base, and he knew that this ball would be easily dealt with.

"Ryosuke, I leave it to you." Tamba looked back.

"no problem."

Seeing the baseball bouncing towards him, Ryosuke grabbed it in his hand.

However, the baseball was still not obedient in Ryosuke's glove and had not stopped spinning, so it fell out.

"Difficult."

Seeing the baseball fall, Kuramochi next to him immediately ran over as fast as he could and regained control of the baseball.

"Squat down quickly!"

Ryosuke squatted down after hearing that, and Kuramochi threw himself towards first base with all his strength.

"Snapped!"

This feels exactly the same!
It was just like the time when Kuramochi ran into the inning, he still couldn't tell whether he was on base safely or out.

This difficult question was once again given to the referee.

The referee had a headache as he gave two difficult questions in the same game.

And the same thing.

The whole place was silent for a moment, no one made a sound.

The pressure on the referee became overwhelming, and he was most afraid of the air suddenly becoming quiet.

"Out!"

In the end, the elimination number was given to Daocheng Industry.

The last time the situation was unclear, Daocheng Industrial made a profit. In order to balance both parties, Qingdao High School must of course make a profit this time.

In this situation, no one has any complaints no matter how you judge it.

The referee's main focus is just on human relationships and social skills.

"so close."

Ryosuke patted his chest.

Before Ryosuke grabbed the baseball, he noticed something was wrong.

The ball is bouncing randomly!

What was unexpected was that the ball continued to spin inside his glove, eventually causing it to fall.

But fortunately, no major disaster occurred.

"I was almost there, what a shame!"

Yoshizawa started complaining as soon as he returned to the lounge.

Two outs and a runner on third base.

Although there was a runner on third base, the situation was not very good.

Everything depends on how Harada performs.

Harada versus Miyuki is like a mouse meeting a cat.

In Miyuki's eyes, Harada's ideas were like a child playing house.

It would be bad luck for Harada to face him.

"You must be thinking we should start with a straight ball. If you want to swing at the first pitch, look at this."

As he said this, Miyuki threw a curveball signal.

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball."

The baseball changed and slipped into Miyuki's glove.

He wanted to trick Harada into swinging the bat, but he didn't expect that Harada had no intention of doing so at all.

Harada was better at predicting this wave, and Miyuki also exposed his own tactics.

If it were a card game, Miyuki would already be the "open card".

But this is the final, and Yukichi doesn't want to back down.

Harada couldn't guess how courageous Miyuki was. Although Harada had seen through his thoughts, Miyuki still dared to follow his own tactics.

Still a curveball.

"Whoosh!"

This time, Danbo's curveball is still in the strike zone after the change, it depends on whether he swings the bat!
"Qiang!"

Harada couldn't help himself and swung the bat.

As the main hitter of Daocheng Industrial, it is his instinctive reaction to swing the bat when he sees a good ball.

However, this ball did not hit the center of the ball. Although the carry was not close, it was all done by brute force.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Hui took two steps forward and easily caught the baseball. After showing it to the referee, he ran towards the locker room in small steps.

"Out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"
