Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 147 Crisis Moment

Chapter 147 Crisis Moment
"Whoosh!"

With standard pitching posture, the white ball flew out of Allen's hands again.

Looking at the white ball slowly flying towards him, Yuki grabbed the bat, wanting to kill it with one blow.

He had a feeling that he could play well.

Although Allen's basketball power has always been his "ultimate skill", nothing is absolute.

And if you say Allen's ball power is very strong, the logic doesn't make sense.

His ball speed is not too fast, and how powerful can the ball be?

The speed of the ball is directly proportional to its power.

The logic doesn't make sense at all.

"Qiang!"

But Yuki still underestimated Allen.

When he hit the ball, his hand was almost shaken off.

When I dropped the bat, it felt like someone hit me and I couldn't run fast.

"Snapped!"

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

The third baseman caught the ball steadily, killing Qingdao High School's desire to score.

In this round, Qingdao High School also went up and down three times.

There is always a mountain higher than the other, and this was reflected in this game.

Yuki is the undisputed strong hitter of Seidou High School, but he still cannot beat people with a greater racial advantage.

This is natural and cannot be reversed.

The American baseball system is simply better than that of the island country, there is nothing that can be done about it.

As a result, after Allen from the United States came to the island country to play basketball, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

It seemed as if no one was his match.

The scientific training methods of the United States are equivalent to dimensionality reduction attacks in the island country.

There is only power but no speed.

This is what Allen learned in the United States.

I’m afraid that few supervisors of the island country’s professional leagues know about this training method.

If Qingdao High School loses, it will lose in two aspects.

The first is the gap between the two countries' systems, and the second is the loss in race.

All are irreversible.

"Captain Yuuki has no solution?"

Ryosuke gradually felt disappointed.

Now it seems that the task of breaking through the opponent's pitcher has entirely fallen on Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui also felt a lot of pressure.

Although he has always been confident, today he really felt the terror of his opponent.

His strength can only be felt among people of the same race.

Among the young people all over the world, perhaps he is the one who is not worth mentioning.

"Everyone, go up and defend. Do what you need to do when you need to do it. Think about attacking when you need to attack. Now all you need to do is defend!"

Supervisor Kataoka yelled.

We cannot let the failure of offense lead to lax defense.

As long as we don't lose points on the defensive end, the score gap won't get too big, and we can take the lead if we find an opportunity.

In a sense, defense is more important than offense!
"Top of the second inning, Ice City High School is on offense, fourth batter, pitcher, Allen."

Allen, who had just come down from the pitcher's mound, took the bat and went to the pitcher's mound.

At Ice City High School, Allen was the ace pitcher and the key fourth batter.

This was something he had never felt before.

In the United States, his talent is only that of a ninth-bat relief pitcher.

But after coming to the island country, he was different.

He immediately became a key figure in the team.

"Based on the information on these two, they don't have any particular weaknesses, but it's not a big deal to get them recommended. Just deal with this guy the same way you dealt with Michael."

Miyuki put his gloves aside casually.

He was not harsh on Akira Kotani's ball control.

"boom!"

The sound of Akira Fōgani's pitch was like the rumbling sound of a sports car's engine.

That’s the feeling you get when baseball gets to a certain point.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball."

The baseball deflected a long distance upward, and Aaron remained calm and did not swing.

He is not like Michael.

"It's quite fast, but what can it do if it can't get into the strike zone?" Allen approved of Akira Kogure's pitching speed.

But the ball that couldn't get into the strike zone posed no threat to him at all.

One bad ball, no good ball.

"He is much calmer than Michael. He is a tough player to deal with."

Yukichi immediately felt challenged.

Allen is not someone who can be dealt with so easily.

"Slow down the ball and let him hit it out."

Yukichi could only use the next move.

Slow down the ball speed to get a steady number of outs.

Allen is the fourth batter, so his hitting ability is naturally not weak.

A ball that was too slow might allow him to seize the opportunity.

This is definitely not good news.

But Qingdao High School has no other way out.

This is the only way.

Akira Fōgani's ball control is not good now. If he throws too many bad balls and walks Allen, he will be in a more passive position.

This method, on the contrary, offers a glimmer of hope.

"Whoosh!"

In the next ball, Akira Jyougiya obviously slowed down the speed of the ball.

This was also within Allen's expectations.

"Slowed down for a good shot?"

"Qiang!"

Without hesitation, Allen swung the bat and hit the ball out.

Allen knew very well that if he missed this opportunity, he would never be able to hit the ball in the strike zone when Akira Fōgani got into better shape.

Fōgaya Akira is in bad shape, but that doesn't mean he can't throw the ball well.

Right field, accurate landing!

A hit to right field!
After running past first base, Allen ran straight to second base.

It can be seen that his speed is definitely not bad.

Double hit!

No one out, second base occupied.

Qingdao High School made the wrong bet!
Allen's condition did not fluctuate, and Qingdao High School's outfielders did not perform exceptionally well.

Before Akira Fōtani recovered his form, Seidou High School was indeed in a very passive position.

"Fifth batter, shortstop, Morikawa-san."

After Morikawa went up, he immediately made a body signal to Allen at second base, telling Allen what tactics coach Kitamura had just arranged.

Allen also made a gesture to indicate that he received it.

"Have you started your tactics?"

It was impossible for Miyuki not to notice such an obvious action.

But what exactly the tactics are remains unknown.

When there is a runner on second base, many tactics can be implemented.

Stealing a base, hitting and running, and scoring with two consecutive bunts are all possible tactics.

Which one it was, Miyuki couldn't guess.

Although he is good at guessing the ball pairing, he is still not good at guessing the tactics.

"boom!"
