Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 120 Daocheng's First Reversal
"Zhou Hui, considering your condition, I think it's better for you to take a rest. Although this game is very important for the journey to Koshien, with your talent, your ceiling is in the major leagues, on a higher stage. I don't want to leave you with any injuries."

After seeing Zhou Hui coming back, Director Kataoka said meaningfully.

Under Coach Kataoka, any injury is a reason for you not to play.

Moreover, Zhou Hui's condition has declined, and to be honest, there is no point in keeping him on the court.

This was the first time that Coach Kataoka saw a player being struck out.

"Supervision..."

Yuki patted Zhou Hui on the chest and told him to just listen to Director Kataoka.

But how could Zhou Hui be willing to do that?

He absolutely would not be willing to end up like this.

Even if he leaves the game, he has to wait until he can no longer swing the bat or run.

This is his final bottom line.

"Supervisor, I don't want to leave!"

Zhou Hui looked into Director Kataoka's eyes and said very confidently.

"The game isn't over yet, I can still play. I absolutely can't go down now, I want to go to Koshien with the team."

There was a gleam in Zhou Hui's eyes, and he looked determined.

Once Zhou Hui made up his mind, few people could shake him.

Director Kataoka didn't say anything either, just looked at him silently.

"I know what I'm doing. If it doesn't work, I'll take the initiative to apply to leave."

"In the bottom of the sixth inning, Daocheng Industrial is on offense. The third batter and third baseman is Yoshizawa."

The work at Qingdao High School has not been completed yet, but Daocheng Industrial's attack is about to begin.

In this situation, Zhou Hui must express his position!

Without waiting for Coach Kataoka to continue speaking, he put on his gloves and ran onto the field.

"Director Kataoka, should I go call Itai-san now? I feel like he's already warmed up."

Minister Ota was also worried about Zhou Hui's condition.

This child is too rebellious to go on stage without following the supervisor's instructions.

No big or small.

"no need."

On the field, Akira Fōgaya faced off against Yoshizawa.

In this duel, there is no doubt that Akira Fōgani has the upper hand.

The result is obvious.

No matter how strong Yoshizawa is, he is just a high school student.

Which high school student can say that he is 100% sure of hitting the straight ball thrown by Akira Fōgaya?

Anyone who encounters a ball speed of 150km/h will be shocked for a while.

Don’t underestimate Daocheng Industrial’s famous team. Even if professional hitters come, they still have to think twice.

"Let's try a straight ball first."

The first round of attacks has passed, and Daocheng Industry has definitely made certain tactical arrangements against Fōgiya Xiao.

Then we need to see whether their work is complete.

"boom!"

The sound of the air being torn shattered my eardrums, and the white baseball came with the wind.

This kind of ball was definitely something they couldn't hit, so Yoshizawa didn't even think about swinging the bat, and just watched the baseball go into Miyuki's glove.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"This kid is getting more and more rude. His shots are really harsh."

Feeling the pain in his hand, Miyuki also complained about Fōgaya Akira's lack of caution.

“No swing?”

Yukichi felt a little confused.

It seems that Daocheng Industrial has not arranged any tactics to attack directly against Akira Fūtani.

In other words, they didn't have any tactics at all.

"In that case, let's go for a straight ball."

"Whoosh!"

It’s still the same ball path, the same “recipe”, and the same “taste”.

After the baseball entered the strike zone, it began to float upwards, a very straight ball from Kōgiya Akira.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball."

One good and one bad, it's already a great start for Akatsuki Fōgaya.

"Still not swinging? Should we lock on to the forkball, or choose to wait for Furuya to get them to base like Mingchuan?"

Yuki started to speculate, but quickly rejected the second idea.

Daocheng Industry is different from Mingchuan. They will never choose such a luck-based method.

If they have the ability, they will definitely not rely on luck.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Bad ball."

"Bad ball."

Then, Akira Fōgani's two straight balls both went out of the strike zone and became two bad balls.

At stake.

"Yoshizawa is really patient."

Director Kunitomo couldn't help but praise Yoshizawa.

"Wouldn't it be bad if they aimed for the forkball? So throw the straight ball."

Miyuki continued to hit straight balls.

Even if he walked Yoshizawa, he would not allow Yoshizawa to reach second base or even third base.

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"Ball, four balls, walk!"

Even though this ball was still very powerful, it was of no avail.

At this point, Yoshizawa's at-bat might be a foregone conclusion.

Yoshizawa was walked to first base.

No one out, first base occupied.

"What's going on? Furuya's touch is obviously not good, but why do you continue to give him the straight ball? Didn't you use the fork ball just now?"

Akiko Yamato has no idea what Qingdao High School is up to.

"I think it's Miyuki's fear."

Fujio spoke the truth.

"No one can break through Furuya's straight ball, even if they are Daocheng Industrial, so I think they should be aiming for the fork ball. Looking at Miyuki's pitch, he should think so too."

"Fourth batter, catcher, Harada-san."

Yoshizawa didn't swing at these few pitches, which made Miyuki more and more suspicious.

Now I don’t know whether they are waiting for the forkball or imitating the tactics of Mingchuan Academy.

"Then let me see it clearly, forkball, come on!"

Miyuki made the secret signal of the fork ball.

Now Daocheng Industry already knows about Akihiro Kotani's fork ball.

I must have been mentally prepared.

If you are not mentally prepared, you will definitely not be unprepared when you first see it.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball turned into a super laser light and flew towards Yuki's glove. The moment it entered the strike zone, it fell sharply.

"I'm just waiting for your ball."

Harada shouted.

Hearing what Harada said, Miyuki was shocked.

As expected, they were waiting for Akatsuki Fōgani's fork ball.

He really guessed it right.

"Qiang!"

Harada hit the baseball hard and it flew into the air at a very fast speed with no intention of falling down.

The flying speed of this ball seemed to be faster than that of Akira Kogure's ball.

"Center and outfield!"

Isajiki Jun tried hard to catch the baseball, fearing that it would fly away.

"Run!"

Even though Isajiki Jun ran faster and faster, he was getting further and further away from the baseball and had no intention of catching up.

"If I had known, I would have run farther away to defend the ball."

Finally, the white ball hit the scoreboard!
The longest home run!
"Okay!"

This time it is Daocheng Industry's turn to be excited.

Harada and Yoshizawa successfully passed all the bases and ran back to home plate.

2: 1!

Daocheng Industry overtook the score!
