Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 149 Power vs. Power

“No pressure, no pressure.”

Allen walked back to the dugout, showing off all the time.

I didn't mention at all that I was shaking and my heart was beating fast just now.

"Stop pretending."

As the person who knew Allen best, Michael immediately knew that this guy was bragging.

He was absolutely scared to death just now, and his current state is not right at all.

That's Michael. Most people wouldn't dare to say anything about Allen.

"Tsk, I don't know who was eliminated without scoring any points."

Allen was not at all tolerant and immediately retorted to Michael.

You must never suffer any loss.

"If this was in the United States, you would probably be eliminated. The speed just now was completely a level too slow."

Allen lowered his head and nodded, the playful expression on his face gone.

His inability to face big situations and difficulty saving the team at critical moments are indeed his shortcomings.

He wasn't in his best condition just now.

Otherwise, scoring wouldn't be so difficult.

"I really can't get on with you at the critical moment. Your legs become weak at the critical moment."

Michael criticized bluntly.

Although this is only the second game and not a critical moment, it is an opportunity to score first.

Whoever scores first may have the initiative in the game.

Unless both teams are strong offensive teams, there is no way around this.

But the team that scores first is definitely the one that can decide the outcome of the game.

So that moment just now was indeed a critical moment.

"nice shot!"

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

The batters above the batter's box were also eliminated by Akira Fōgaya's two straight balls.

Attack and defense switch!

This point was exchanged for two outs, which is somewhat not worth it.

If you really want to use outs to score points from the beginning, it is better to score directly with two bunts.

After going around in circles, I still wasted time and the result was not changed.

In fact, Allen had been planning to steal home base from the beginning, but there was never a good opportunity.

If he could find that feeling and opportunity earlier, perhaps Bingcheng High School could face Fūya Akatsuki with more outs.

At that time, the pressure must have been less.

But they still cannot guarantee 100% that they can hit the ball away from Akira Kotani.

This is the most fatal.

"Don't think too much, just get ready to play!"

Michael had put on his gloves without knowing when and patted Allen's chest.

"it is good."

Allen nodded as well.

It's not him who should feel sorry now!
The lagging party is Qingdao High School, so they should be the ones feeling the pressure!

"Yayuki, your slow pitch was a bit bad."

Chris analyzed Miyuki's play.

In his opinion, Qingdao High School had no chance of losing points in this game.

All the opportunities are given to the opponents by Yuki.

"But……"

"You think that Furuya is in a bad state. If he continues like this, he will walk Allen, so you want to use slow pitches and rely on the fielders' defense to earn outs, right?"

Yuki nodded. What Chris said was absolutely right.

"Just let Furuya pitch. Furuya has grown up and he is no longer unable to throw all the balls in the strike zone. You should trust him."

Akira Fōgani: Although this sentence is an affirmation of what I mean, why is there a sense of sarcasm mixed in it?

"But don't worry about it. We just need to keep chasing in the next games. Don't let this affect your mentality." "Don't worry, it won't happen. My heart is not that fragile yet."

"That's good."

"Bottom of the second inning, Qingdao High School is on offense, the fourth batter, the left fielder, is Zhou."

"Can Huihui really handle this guy?"

Zhou Ma in the audience began to get nervous and asked Director Matsuoka next to her.

For Koshien, Zhou's mother rushed from Hokkaido to Hyogo just to see her son.

However, Zhou's father was unable to come along due to work reasons, so coach Matsuoka came with Zhou's mother to watch the Koshien game.

Both of them are married, so their spouses are more at ease.

Looking at Allen's dark skin, Zhou Ma knew that this pitcher was not so easy to deal with.

In his impression, creatures that are so black and so tall are usually very powerful creatures.

The cow plowing the land in Zhou Hui’s rural hometown is a representative symbol.

Now that such a person is facing her own son, how can Mother Zhou not be worried?

"Don't worry, Zhou Hui's power is not to be underestimated."

Director Matsuoka is very relieved.

Zhou Hui's strength has surpassed his now, and he was invincible when he was on the Eagles.

"Come on, let me see how strong your ball power is?"

Zhou Hui was also eager to try Allen.

He really wanted to confront him head on.

"Whoosh!"

Allen didn't let Zhou Hui wait too long, and the first ball he threw was a straight ball to the upper center of the red.

He had also heard of Zhou Hui's name and had long wanted to meet him.

This position is indeed very comfortable for hitters.

Like Allen, Zhou Hui is also a player known for his strength.

He has strength that is inconsistent with his appearance, which makes many pitchers suffer.

After seeing the white ball, Zhou Hui fixed his eyes on it.

He gripped the bat with both hands and exerted force, veins bulging.

"coming soon!"

The baseball entered the strike zone and was within the range that Zhou Hui could swing the bat.

"It's now!"

"Qiang!"

He swung it hard and hit the baseball.

This sound was earth-shattering!

"Well done, this is a great shot!"

Just by watching, some of Seidou High School's powerful hitters knew what was going on.

They are very sensitive to the sound of hits.

Take off from the ground and let the baseball fly!

"Left field!"

The catcher immediately took off his mask and shouted.

This time, he was so anxious!
"How is it possible that he was kicked out so soon?"

Allen looked at the flying baseball and couldn't let it go.

Why?
He couldn't understand why this yellow man could hit his own ball.

He originally thought that his skin color was his biggest advantage, but the handsome guy in front of him made him understand what it meant to break through the limits!
The baseball hits the ground! It's passed!
Seidou High School’s first hit is here!
Although Kuramochi reached base, according to the rules his ball was not considered a hit and would not be recorded.

After Zhou Hui ran past first base, he slid three meters in front of second base.

The left foot touches the base first, but the baseball has just been passed.

"Safety on base!"

The referee raised his hands and announced that Zhou Hui was safely on base!
No one is out and there's a runner on second base!
In this battle of strength and power, Zhou Hui had the last laugh.
