Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 119 The Impact of That
The Meiji Jingu Stadium was packed with people, with no place to sit. In such a lively competition, the vendors selling juice in the audience seats became the biggest winners.

The temperature in West Tokyo is now approaching 40 degrees Celsius. If the audience watches the game for a long time, they will definitely feel thirsty.

This is where the business opportunity lies for those vendors.

The vendors also know how exciting the game is, and no one is willing to leave early, so the price of their juice is generally double the market price.

Once you go out, you can't come back. In the end, whether to watch the game or to quench your thirst, many viewers still choose to spend money to quench their thirst.

There is probably no other competition that can make them fight so hard except the West Tokyo Summer Tournament Finals.

What's more, the competition has now reached a white-hot stage and no one is willing to leave.

It is now the top of the sixth inning of the game, and Seidou High School is still leading 1:0.

Ever since Seidou High School scored, Cheng Gong Ming seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and has been suppressing Seidou High School, and Seidou High School has no chance to widen the score gap.

The pitchers of Qingdao High School are not unknown players either. Tamba and Fōtani Akira alone shut out the batting line of Daocheng Industrial.

Without any points scored, the game certainly didn't seem that exciting.

However, the wonderful performances of Narimiya Mei and Fōgiya Akatsuki also made many viewers feel that it was worth it.

So what if the temperature is high.

In the top of the sixth inning, Seidou High School had two outs and no one on base.

The batting now came to Zhou Hui, the fourth batter.

In the first few innings, not to mention scoring, the pitchers on both sides didn't even allow the batters to get on base.

In particular, Akira Fōtani's performance not only impressed the audience, but also impressed Seidou High School.

They didn't expect that Jōgō Aki would still have such dominance when facing Daocheng Industry.

I just practiced the fork ball, and I haven't mastered ball control yet.

His ceiling is really high.

Even catching up with Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui only played in one summer competition after entering Qingdao High School, but many well-known media believe that Zhou Hui's ceiling is in the major leagues.

From this perspective, Akatsuki Fōgaya's upper limit is about the same.

Let’s take a brief look at the sixth game.

Ryosuke stopped pestering Cheng Gong Ming and chose to attack normally.

Ryosuke is also not weak in normal attack. Don't be fooled by his small stature, his attacking ability is not to be underestimated.

He carried the ball to left field, but it was too straight and was easily caught by the left fielder.

In fact, we can infer the intensity of Ryosuke's attack from Haruichi's performance.

Genes are definitely not something that can be discussed casually.

Yuki's performance today seemed to be very poor, and no one could tell that he was the captain of Seidou High School.

I don’t know if it was because Chengmiya Ming was too strong or because Yuki was in bad shape today, but in any case, he just hit a ground ball and was hastily left the field.

After seeing Cheng Gongming's performance, everyone also thought that Daocheng Industrial would still shut out Qingdao High School in this game.

Even though Zhou Hui came later, fans of Daocheng Industrial still think so.

What is the strongest newcomer? What is the monster fighter?

In front of their trump card, it is simply not worth mentioning.

This is the trust that fans have in their own ace.

"Fourth batter, left fielder, Mr. Zhou."

"What's going on? I'm still a little dizzy."

Zhou Hui shook his head, trying to keep himself as clear as possible.

That time, his head hit the wall.

After so many rounds of relief, Zhou Hui still hasn't recovered.

He was very lucky that no balls flew towards him in these innings.

"It's your turn again."

Whenever he hit Zhou Hui, Cheng Gongming would get excited and his eyes would turn red.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Cheng Gong Ming laughed loudly, but still ignored Harada.

Harada has always been very afraid of this behavior.

Especially facing the batter Zhou Hui.

You never know when he will explode.

His high batting average proves that he is definitely an excellent or even terrifying hitter.

Acting rashly is definitely not a good choice.

"Swoosh!" High inside corner!

Face him head on and never waste time with him.

"Qiang!"

Swinging the wooden stick in his hand, Zhou Hui hit the white ball that was flying straight towards him.

The moment he swung, Zhou Hui felt that he had no strength at all for a moment.

This feeling is really amazing.

"Foul ball!"

Zhou Hui failed to defeat Cheng Gongming's power and pulled the baseball out of bounds.

"This is impossible!"

Zhou Hui was also surprised at his own strength.

This is definitely not a shot he can hit.

“I still don’t have the energy to eat!”

"If Zhou Hui keeps acting like this, Qingdao will definitely lose."

"It's possible."

"I didn't expect Qingdao would have to look at the face of a first-year boy this year."

"It's incredible. There were very few first-year faces in Qingdao before."

"Whoosh!"

The next ball came, and Cheng Gong Ming was still very rational and threw a slider to the outside corner.

The position is controlled just right, close to the strike zone.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

When the baseball flew towards him, Zhou Hui was obviously stunned for a moment and didn't even make a move to swing the bat.

"What's going on? Zhou Hui didn't even swing for this pitch?"

"Under normal circumstances, he would have probably hit a single with this ball."

"What happened to him today?"

"Before this fight, he was still very normal."

No one knows why Zhou Hui's performance declined so drastically, and there was no sign of it.

"Two strikes. If you don't swing, it will be too late."

Zhou Hui finally reacted at this time. If he didn't swing the bat, he would be struck out, so he had to swing for the next ball.

At least if he touches the ball, he will have a chance to hit it out.

This is his last chance.

He absolutely would not allow himself to go two consecutive at-bats without a hit in this game.

Zhou Hui is a person who cares very much about data.

After every game, he looks at the technical statistics.

He cares very much about how many hits, home runs he has, and his batting average.

"Whoosh!"

Cheng Gongming threw the last ball.

A straight ball high right in the middle!

The speed of the ball is far inferior to that of Kogaya Xiao, but Zhou Hui doesn't think so.

He felt that the speed of this ball exceeded that of Akira Jōgō, and what was even more terrifying was that he felt his eyes were heavy now!
The moment the baseball flew towards him, he swallowed.

In his eyes, he saw three baseballs!
This is inconsistent with his excellent dynamic vision.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Hui finally swung randomly based on his intuition, but he couldn't feel it in his hands and the baseball hit Harada's glove.

"Strike! Batter is out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"

After the referee announced the strikeout, the scene fell silent.

No one believed that Zhou Hui was actually struck out!
This was the first time they saw Zhou Hui get struck out.

I can only say that that had a huge impact on him!
