Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 134 This lineup is worthy of Koshien

1: 0!

Seidou High School took the lead.

Zhou Hui hit a home run as soon as he came on the court, and his touch was surprisingly good.

No one could have imagined that Zhou Hui could hit a home run right at the start today.

High and far, it is indeed Zhou Hui’s strength.

"The strike was so smooth today."

Zhou Hui ran back to home base, talking to himself.

I thought the first match in Koshien would be a tough one, but I didn't expect it to be much smoother than the final of the summer tournament.

It was totally unexpected.

He didn't get a hit in two at-bats under Narimiya Mei, but unexpectedly, his first at-bat in Koshien was a home run.

The cameras of the reporters on the scene have never stopped from the beginning to now, just to record Zhou Hui's charm.

This is very rare in the history of Koshien!

"Did you capture the moment Zhou Hui swung the bat just now?"

A middle-aged man holding a paper and a pen asked the young man next to him who had a camera hanging around his neck.

The middle-aged man looked very experienced and should be a senior reporter of this newspaper.

The person following him, and judging by his timid look, he should be his apprentice.

"No."

"Hey, can you do something? You should be able to capture the moment when the baseball flies out, right?"

"nor."

The middle-aged man became speechless and even a little crazy.

"Zhou Hui's celebration when he was running the bases, did you take this picture?!"

The young man continued to shake his head: "The camera was not adjusted properly just now. By the time it was adjusted, Zhou Hui had already run back to home plate. I only captured an empty home plate."

Hearing what the young man said, the middle-aged man even wanted to jump down from the audience.

Whoever can get this topic and do it well will definitely make the newspaper a big seller.

The middle-aged man was thinking about getting a promotion and a raise in salary, but he didn't expect that everything would be ruined by the young apprentice next to him.

There's nothing I can do. He's my apprentice, a newcomer who just joined the company. It's certain that he has no experience.

"Be careful next time."

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

"Ula uh uh uh!"

Zeng Zi Tou started yelling with her belly bulging.

Yoshida's ball is very much to Masuko Toru's taste.

Toru Masuko has always been a person who likes to hit straight balls and has a natural fear of changing balls.

Yoshida is a pitcher who can throw straight balls.

In addition to Masuko Toru's hitting ability as a bases-clearing hitter, it should not be difficult for him to score a point.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball whizzed out.

"The speed of the ball is pretty good."

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

It was a strike, but Toru Masuko didn't swing.

It seems that it is totally inconsistent with Qingdao High School's tactical style of play.

The playing style implemented by Qingdao High School is to swing the bat actively.

Otherwise, why is he one of the best batting line-ups in the country?
"Not swinging? What's going on?"

If Masuko Toru swings the bat, the catcher of Ho-Ming High School can finally put his mind at ease.

What I fear most is the one who doesn't swing the bat.

This may prove that he was studying Yoshida carefully and preparing to give him the most fatal blow.

If this is really the case, we can't let him succeed.

"The outside corner is low, at least it won't be carried far."

This location is good.

"Whoosh!"

Swing your arms and attack!
The baseball flew out and the catcher of Baoming High School opened his glove.

"If there is no other tricks, I will let you see our Qingdao's striking power."

"Clang!" The baseball bat hit hard.

With a "clang" sound, he rolled to the ground without slowing down at all and broke through the defense of the third baseman and shortstop.

Even if it was a ground ball, it still couldn't stop Toru Masuko's determination to get a hit.

This hit was enough for Masuko Toru to reach first base even if he ran slowly.

Single, no one out, runner on first base.

Qingdao High School’s chance to score has not ended yet.

In the eyes of Seidou High School, a pitcher like Yoshida is really full of loopholes.

You don't need much skill to score points with him.

Zhou Hui is an example.

As for why the batters of Seidou High School did not score any points or even get any hits in the first inning.

It can only be said that Yoshida was lucky, as he happened to be at a time when Qingdao High School was not in good shape.

Isn’t this also the case for Qingdao High School when they faced Mishimon High School in the first round of the summer tournament?
The only difference is that Mishimon High School fielded a pitcher whose profile was unknown to Qingdao High School, while Baoming High School fielded an ace pitcher.

But this does not mean that Baoming High School is not as good as Misimen High School.

Baoming High School is a Koshien team. If Mishimon High School is sent to the Kyushu region, it may not be able to break through.

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

Miyuki took a deep breath and walked into the batter's box.

"There's a runner on base this time. You should be able to guess the opponent's pitch, right?"

Ryosuke asked with a smile behind him, as if teasing Miyuki.

"Even if there are no hitters, I can handle the pitches that are all straight balls."

Yukichi glanced at it.

Right-handed hitter, Miyuki!

"call."

Yukichi took a deep breath.

This was also his first trip to Koshien.

It’s not as grand as imagined.

Even when the game started, he just realized that he had arrived in Koshien.

But there is definitely tension and excitement.

When he played in West Tokyo, his every move was noticed mostly by fans in West Tokyo, but after coming to Koshien he will have to face fans from all over the country.

Here, one needs to be careful with one's words and actions, but one must be unrestrained in showing one's strength.

This is Koshien, the hall of fame for baseball players!
"This catcher is not someone you can easily deal with. Let's throw a high inside corner."

The catcher of Baoming High School has collapsed.

Yoshida's strength is limited, and he only uses the same ball over and over again. How can he achieve diversity?

The catcher of Baoming High School had advised Yoshida many times to learn more breaking balls, but he never listened.

But when we arrived at Koshien, we suffered a great loss.

"Whoosh!"

One run was scored, second inning, runner on first base.

These words are undoubtedly fatal when applied to a pitcher.

Yoshida is no exception, and it can be seen when he makes a move.

The ball speed dropped a lot, losing the most important advantage.

The ace pitcher from Kyushu region turned out to be like this when he came to Koshien.
