Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 152: Change Ball Solution
"It's another pitching battle. Whether Qingdao High School faces Pharmacist High School or Daocheng Industry, and now Bingcheng High School, it seems that they are always beaten in pitching battles."

Akiko Yamato looked at the score on the field and felt that the outcome of this game might depend on the pitchers of both teams.

The batting line can no longer determine the outcome of this game.

The first half of the fifth inning has just ended, and Qingdao High School and Bingcheng High School are still tied at 1-1, with neither side having a leading advantage.

Since the score was scored, both Allen and Tamba, the ace pitcher who had just been substituted in from Seidou High School, have suppressed the opponent's batting line very well.

Among them, although Tamba was hit by Allen and Michael, Qingdao High School's solid infield defense still did not allow Ice City High School to find any opportunities.

This time, the goddess of victory seemed to be invisible and did not smile at any team.

“That last curveball was a good one.”

"That is to say, the decline has reached a new high."

"Now when I think about the batter's expression on the other side, I want to laugh, hahahahahahaha."

"When the opponent sees you create a triple kill, he might also want to laugh."

Isajiki Jun attacked Miyuki without mercy.

He wasted a good opportunity, and Isashiki Jun is a vengeful person.

"You're still digging it out after all this happened."

Yuki pouted.

"Was half an hour ago a long time?"

The atmosphere in Qingdao High School's lounge was relatively good, without any negative emotions at all.

"Bottom of the fifth inning, Seidou High School is on offense, the third batter, first baseman, Yuuki-san."

This atmosphere continued until the beginning of the bottom of the fifth inning.

As the captain, Yuki stepped into the batter's box for the second time.

The first time he struck, he suffered because he was not very familiar with Allen and did not choose the right amount of force.

But it's different now.

After watching the opponent's pitch, Yuki was confident.

Next, he must fight back.

After seeing that it was Yuki, Allen did not open his eyes.

Apart from Zhou Hui, he thinks Qingdao High School has no other rivals.

Even their captain is the same.

Without much thought, Allen threw a straight ball to the left of the red center.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball flew in the air and was caught steadily by the catcher behind.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

A good ball.

Yuki thought about it and decided to lock in a straight ball from the high inside corner.

Not only is this ball easy to play, but Allen also loves to shoot it.

Taking all factors into consideration, this location is a good choice.

"Whoosh!"

Raise your hand high and throw the baseball.

Allen is very tall, and from his perspective the baseball is seen as flying horizontally, but because of the angle, others see it as flying upwards. It looks very complicated.

It is difficult to find the center of this kind of ball.

But Yuki bet right on this ball, and Allen did indeed throw it to the upper middle of the red center.

He guessed correctly and was naturally prepared for a fight.

"Qiang!"

The harsh sound of the metal bat hitting the baseball and the white ball flying high were something Allen had not expected.

He actually hit it out!
The baseball fell behind the second baseman, and Yuki quickly ran to first base.

Single hit!
"Fourth batter, left fielder, Mr. Zhou."

Allen’s “lifelong enemy” is here again!

Zhou Hui!

After hearing Zhou Hui's name, Allen couldn't help but feel nervous.

This was the first time he had this feeling since coming to the island country to play baseball.

"Why does this guy have such a strong sense of oppression?"

Allen shook his head.

An illusion, it must be an illusion!

Alan refused to believe that a yellow man could scare him so much.

But before pitching, he still prayed devoutly many times to Jesus for help.

"Swoosh!" Allen still chose the straight ball.

The location is an outside corner.

No matter how Zhou Hui plays, he can't get out of this position.

At least there is no risk of a home run being hit, so they won't be able to widen the score to two points all of a sudden.

Allen is already very satisfied with this.

"Qiang!"

Although the angle was sharp, Zhou Hui didn't tolerate it at all.

The bat in his hand was pulled down like a machete and hit the flying white ball hard.

"Foul ball!"

Zhou Hui threw the baseball behind the catcher.

After some adjustments, Zhou Hui rearranged his combat helmet, and when he looked up, his eyes became terrifying.

Zhou Hui's eyes now are even sharper than the previous corner kick.

A powerful aura emanated from his entire body.

"Let's do that ball movement again."

The catcher still didn't realize how powerful Zhou Hui was.

The force of the swing on that ball just now was so strong that even Allen was startled.

It just didn't hit the center of the ball. If it had really hit the center of the ball, I'm afraid the ball would have rolled very far.

The speed was at least too fast for the third baseman to catch the ball.

"You can't throw like this anymore."

As he thought about it, Allen changed his ball-holding gesture.

He really couldn't have imagined that he would be playing in a high school game in an island country and would use a changeup.

This is also an inevitable operation.

If it weren't for Zhou Hui, he might not have used this tactic at all in Koshien.

Zhou Hui is a player he admires and he deserves this ball.

"Whoosh!"

Before the catcher gave the signal, the baseball was seen flying out.

"Why is it so slow?"

The catcher was also confused.

This kind of pitch speed is usually a changeup, but the catcher at Ice City High School had never heard of Allen's changeup.

The only possibility is that Zhou Hui has already defeated Allen.

This is the catcher's own idea.

Because he doesn't know the whole picture, he can only guess blindly, and it is very normal for his guesses to be outrageous.

The baseball drew an arc in the sky and fell over before the catcher's glove had time to move over.

This goal came too unexpectedly.

"Change ball?"

Zhou Hui smiled. This kid was indeed hiding something.

From the beginning of the game, Zhou Hui felt that Allen was a gifted boy.

He is definitely a top-tier pitcher in the island country.

It's impossible not to change the ball.

Allen's trump card has been revealed.

Rather than calling it a trump card, it would be better to say that this was his surprise move.

The range of his changeup is just normal, nothing special.

The other batters were fine, but if it was Zhou Hui...

Haha, that’s underestimating Zhou Hui.

"Qiang!"

Powerful force instantly gathered from Zhou Hui's arms, and the huge explosive force instantly hit the white ball.

The baseball flew high and a smile appeared on Zhou Hui's face.

It flew over third base, a hit to left field!

Yuki and Zhou Hui tried to run to the bases closer to home plate.

Finally, before the baseball was returned, Zhou Hui reached second base and Yuki reached third base!

No one is out, runners on second and third base!
