Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 112 Preemptive Strike
"Fifth batter, center fielder, Isashiki-san."

Isajiki Jun, with golden hair, walked into the batter's box with his teeth bared, as if he wanted to "bite" Daocheng Industry to pieces.

As for the momentum, it is there anyway.

"Is it him again?"

After seeing Isajiki Jun, Narimiya Mei lowered his hat, unwilling to recall that history.

Although Daocheng Industrial was the final winner last year, they could not accept the fact that Isajiki Jun hit a single.

And he could see at that time that Isajiki Jun's victory was not based on his real strength at all.

Just looking at the way he swings the bat, it's obvious that he's confused.

It is certain that he will always hold a grudge.

"A year has passed, and you still care so much about this hitter?"

Harada muttered to himself.

Looking up at Isajiki Jun, he is indeed more powerful than last year, and the muscles on his arms are fuller. He looks stronger than last year, and he will definitely not stand still or decline in strength.

The only downside is that he has an even thicker mustache than last year, which makes him look sloppy and a bit like a middle-aged uncle.

"Roar, golden retriever!"

A familiar voice was heard again from the audience.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Hearing this voice, the audience of Qingdao High School couldn't help but laugh.

I don’t know which classmate was so brave to shout out in front of Isajiki Jun, and the voice was so loud that it directly shook the sky.

"After all these years, he still hasn't gotten rid of this nickname?"

Dong Qingguo couldn't help but cover his face and laugh.

That’s right, Dongqing Kingdom is here again in today’s game.

"kick off!"

"You got a hit from me last year, but I won't let you get it this year."

"I'll strike you out!"

"Whoosh!"

Without waiting for Harada's signal, Chengmiya Mei took action on his own. He could no longer suppress his anger towards Isashiki Jun.

"Why are you so anxious!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

A straight ball that went straight into Izashiki Jun's chest.

The sharpness of this ball can really be described as unparalleled.

If it weren't for Isajiki Jun's tricks, he would have been scared to death.

“No swing?”

Narimiya Mei didn't understand. Last year, Isashiki Jun was an active player swinging the bat, but today he let the ball go even though it was close to him.

Have you grown up?

That's impossible. He wasn't like this in the previous games.

There is no time for Cheng Gongming to think so much. What he needs to do now is to capture him quickly.

"If you don't swing the bat, I'll strike you out!"

"Whoosh!"

At the same position, Cheng Gong Ming passed another straight ball.

"Don't look down on me like that!"

"Qiang!"

This time, Isajiki Jun hit the flying baseball with great force, and the baseball flew high into the distance.

Isashiki Jun's tactic is to lock in the changeup, but seeing that Gong Ming has no intention of throwing a changeup at all, it is better to shoot at his straight ball.

Isajiki Jun has had enough of the continuous straight ball provocations. He is not a good-tempered player.

The baseball didn't land in the ideal spot and flew to left field.

If the left fielder had not made a mistake, Zhou Hui would not have been able to advance to the next base.

"Damn it! I shouldn't have been so anxious!"

Isajiki Jun also hated himself.

His ability to hit changing balls is not as good as Toru Masuko's, so he can just wait a little longer.

At the very least, it can at least consume the number of balls that Cheng Gong Ming has.

"Snapped!"

"Out!" The left fielder caught the ball steadily, and the story should have ended here.

"What? What? Zhou Hui on second base didn't choose to sit there and wait for death. He charged towards third base! It's unbelievable! It would be fine if the ball landed in the right outfield. But this ball landed in the left outfield. It's too risky!"

The commentator let out a voice of disbelief.

No matter who it was, no one would believe that Zhou Hui rushed to third base. This was inevitable.

Left field is very close to third base, and if you run over there like this, there is a high risk of being tagged out.

"Eliminate him for me!"

The left fielder waved his hand and threw the baseball in his hand toward third base.

Yoshizawa stood on the third base, changing his position as he watched the trajectory of the baseball.

"Snapped!"

"Don't try to succeed."

Yoshizawa was currently about three meters away from the base, but he had already put aside his lofty words.

Confidence is the synonym of Yoshizawa at this moment.

Yoshizawa had already pressed his glove downwards, but a hand suddenly appeared on third base.

It was none other than Zhou Hui!
"what happened?!"

Yoshizawa's pupils dilated, he couldn't believe that Zhou Hui's speed was so fast.

"Hey, sorry."

Zhou Hui stuck out his tongue mischievously.

His previous aloof personality collapsed in an instant.

"This way we can score points!"

"Great! I didn't expect Zhou Hui to be so versatile!"

"It depends on Masuko."

One out and third base occupied.

The points are basically in the bag, it just depends on how many points you get.

Daocheng Industry is not a big scoring team, but it has absolute scoring explosiveness, and one point is definitely not enough.

If Qingdao High School wants to win, it needs more points. It is definitely not enough with just one point.

"Sixth batter, third baseman, Masuko-san."

"Just don't throw a breaking ball. Just don't throw a breaking ball."

Toru Masuko still hasn't overcome his weakness of changing balls, and he still can't deal with them.

Director Kataoka naturally knew about this.

When Toru Masuko looked at Director Kataoka, Director Kataoka made a short hitting gesture.

Zhou Hui also saw this gesture clearly.

We have to force points!

After having a tactic in mind, Zhou Hui began to slowly slide towards home base.

Although Zengzi Toru doesn't look very flexible, he is surprisingly good at short shots despite being fat.

It is also because of him that the success rate of Qingdao High School's forced scoring tactics has remained high.

"Whoosh!"

The signal given by Harada for the first ball was a straight ball with a high inside angle.

He was certain that Masuko Toru would not swing the bat.

"Ping!"

When the short stick appeared horizontally in front of Harada, Harada didn't believe it at all.

Toru Masuko was a bases-clearing hitter for Seidou High School before, so he shouldn't be allowed to use this tactic.

Cheng Gongming picked up the baseball and was about to throw it to home plate, but Harada's glove pointed to first base.

It’s too late to get home base, it’s better to stop the loss in time!
"Snapped!"

"Out!"

With two outs, Qingdao High School got this precious point.

1: 0!

Seidou High School is leading!
This point is not a safe one, and it is a bit like killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of your own.

Not worth it at all!
The next batter has very little room to play after he comes on the field.

No one knows what Director Kataoka is doing.
