Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 117 Luxurious Backline
Zhou Hui stood by the left outfield wall for a long time and was unable to stand up. He felt dizzy and his head was spinning.

"What happened to Zhou Hui?"

"Nothing can happen, right?"

"Zhou Hui!"

The students of Qingdao High School all ran over, worried that something might happen to Zhou Hui.

Just now, you can clearly see that Zhou Hui’s head hit the wall hard.

This time, the damage should be quite serious.

If it was a concussion, Qingdao High School would not be able to play in the following games and would most likely lose.

Zhou Hui's contribution to Qingdao High School is visible to the naked eye.

"Are you okay?"

Isajiki Jun, who was closest to Zhou Hui, rushed over first and immediately went up to ask about Zhou Hui's situation.

It hurt him just looking at it, let alone Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui was still in a daze and didn't hear what Isashiki Jun said, which made Isashiki Jun anxious.

How did you fall like this?

Faced with this sudden situation, the students from Qingdao High School were also in a panic.

"Medical, medical!"

Seeing that Zhou Hui was unable to get up for a long time, Isajiki Jun became anxious and started to call for medical help.

The game is no longer important now, teammates are more important.

"Need not."

Zhou Hui stood up slowly, but when he stood up, he was still swaying from side to side, as if he was drunk.

"I am okay."

Zhou Hui shook his head and walked towards the lounge step by step.

It can be seen that Zhou Hui's walking in these two steps was not natural at all.

"Is it really okay?"

Yuxing looked at Zhou Hui and felt worried.

Zhou Hui is not a pitcher, so Yukichi naturally has no idea what he is thinking.

After returning to the lounge, Director Kataoka came up first.

He does not allow any player to show off, including Zhou Hui.

In his previous coaching career, even if the ace pitcher of Seidou High School had a sprained finger, coach Kataoka still kept him on the bench and did not let him play.

Five years later, everyone regarded Coach Kataoka's approach as the key reason why Seidou High School could not enter Koshien.

It's not easy to enter Koshien if you are not allowed to play due to a minor injury.

But looking at it from another perspective, Coach Kataoka is still considering the players' long-term careers.

If it's just for one game, it's okay to get a blocking injection and play.

But what about the rest of life?
It is very likely that this game was ruined.

Director Kataoka is thinking about the long term.

"I have no problem supervising, I can continue playing next."

Zhou Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Supervisor Kataoka with a forced smile.

"Of course it's fine for you to continue playing, but I need to see your condition. If you are not in good condition, I will replace you immediately."

"it is good."

Zhou Hui breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Director Kataoka said.

At least he didn't have to leave.

The moment the team entered Koshien, he didn't want to watch from the sidelines.

"Itai, go warm up now. If you can't do it later, I'll ask you to substitute."

As he said this, Coach Kataoka looked at Itai who was at the end of the bench.

Since Zhou Hui came, he has lost his starting position.

The last time he played was probably in the friendly match against Kiryu High School.

"Yes."

Ban Jing stood up and walked towards the cowshed.

"Top of the fourth inning, Seidou High School is on offense, the fifth batter, center fielder, is Isashiki-san."

The fifth batter is the watershed of the entire batting line.

After the fifth batter, the batters are at the back of the batting line, which is usually the position for hitters with limited hitting abilities.

Throughout the entire summer competition, it seemed that only Seidou High School did not follow this pattern.

Just look at the batting arrangements of Qingdao High School's fifth, sixth and seventh batters.

If we leave out the fifth batter, Jun Isashiki, who cleaned up the bases, there were the sixth batter, Toru Masuko, and the seventh batter, Miyuki.

Both of them are real strong players of Qingdao High School.

This is assuming Chris is injured.

If Chris hadn't been injured, the sixth batter would be Isagi Jun and the seventh batter would be Masuko Toru. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became.

Even if Seidou High School is not so healthy, their back line is still so terrifying.

If all the players of Seidou High School are really healthy, they definitely have the most terrifying back line in the entire West Tokyo.

There is no doubt about this.

Quite outrageous.

"You're already the fifth batter. Seidou's batting line-up this year is really scary."

Although it was scary, there was no sign of fear on Cheng Gongming's face.

For him, there may really be nothing to be afraid of with this lineup.

"Whoosh!"

Harada gave the signal and Narimiya Mei threw the ball.

Even the most luxurious backcourt in the entire West Tokyo is not good enough for him.

"Qiang!"

"Fly out of here!"

Looking at the small white ball being hit and flying, Isajiki Jun shouted loudly.

The baseball flew to center field, and if the ball really flew out, it would be a home run from the longest distance.

"It was so loud, I could hear it from center field."

Kamiya ran towards the baseball while complaining about Isashiki Jun's loud voice.

Finally, the baseball found its landing spot before it hit the ground.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Baseball is not about sound."

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

The last time he attacked Zeng Zi Toru, he used a short hit, and Cheng Gong Ming did not enjoy the pleasure of teasing Zeng Zi Toru.

This time, it may be coming.

Masuko Toru has always been helpless when facing the flexible changing balls, and someone with a little skill might be able to strike him out.

So Cheng Gong Ming was not afraid either.

His changeup is definitely good enough, and striking out 10 guys shouldn't be a problem.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

Two sliders and one fork.

He successfully struck out Toru Masuko and got another out.

"Damn it, he keeps throwing changeups."

Zengzi Toru put the bat back helplessly, feeling unhappy.

"The seventh batter, the catcher, Miyuki-san."

There was no one on the base, and Yukichi was also having a headache.

Although his batting average with no one on base is also high, it is definitely not as high as when there are runners on base.

With people on base, he could at least guess for the ball.

If there is no one around, he can only rely on his own feelings.

In the last game against Yakushi High School, although he had a good performance with no one on base, it was still a minority after all.

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

Without hesitation, just swing.

This time, his great move relied on his understanding of Cheng Gongming.

But unfortunately, the times are progressing and Cheng Gongming is also progressing.

The baseball was safely caught by third baseman Yoshizawa.

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

The three outs came so quickly that the defensive players of Seidou High School were not even ready.

"Is this the most luxurious backcourt line? Nothing more than that."

Let me correct a problem in the previous book here.

That was the blow to Miyuki.

Regarding this part, Mamba indeed remembered it wrong. In Mamba's memory, Miyuki performed exceptionally well when there was no one on the base. However, after seeing many readers' strong doubts, Mamba reviewed the original work as soon as possible.

The final result is that Mamba’s memory was really biased, and he remembered such an important point wrongly. Mamba is deeply sorry for this, which has affected the reading experience of many readers. Mamba would like to apologize to everyone here and bow to you all!
