Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 166 Stable Duo

After the press conference, the quarter-finals of Seidou High School's Koshien started as scheduled.

The overlord of West Tokyo, Seidou High School, plays against the champion of the Yokohama area, Yokohama Kohoku.

Both teams were the ones that stood out in a heated battle zone.

Qingdao High School is standing on this stage again after several years.

Yokohama Kohoku’s goal this time is still to win the championship.

The two teams had a match in this year's Kanto Conference, and Seidou High School lost in the end.

With this reluctance, the two teams met again in Koshien.

Of course, Qingdao High School is thinking of revenge. In the end, they will kill all those who stand in their way and hold up that damn championship flag.

Yokohama Kohoku has entered Koshien for two consecutive years.

The unwillingness of not winning the championship last time continued into this year's Koshien.

Inside the lounge.

Their ace pitcher's eyes widened.

Last year, we also reached this stage!

The third round of Koshien!
He saw with his own eyes that his seniors fell to this position due to their lack of strength.

At that time, he was still the team's backup pitcher and did not have the trust of his supervisor.

Today, his number has become 1 and he has become the ace pitcher of Yokohama Kohoku.

All he has to do is to defeat Qingdao High School and win the final championship!
It can also be regarded as fighting for those seniors and fulfilling their unfulfilled wishes.

"You want to win, right?"

The coach of Yokohama Kohoku noticed the expression of his ace pitcher.

"Of course, I don't want to be defeated here like Senior Yamada and the others."

"It's a good idea to have this idea, and I hope you can do it too." Yokohama Kohoku's coach put his hands in his trouser pockets and said, "I haven't won a championship either."

"Just leave it to us."

After saying that, Yokohama Kohoku's ace pitcher stood up from the locker room and ran to the pitcher's mound.

Seeing such a passionate ace of his own, the coach of Yokohama Kohoku nodded silently.

"If Yamada had half the passion you have, I might have won a championship."

The coach of Yokohama Kohoku showed an expression of disappointment.

No one knows what happened last year. All we know is that the ace pitcher named Yamada became the pitcher that disappointed the entire Yokohama Kohoku.

"Their ace pitcher is in pretty good shape."

Jun Isashiki said as he looked at the ace pitcher of Yokohama Kohoku.

Allen tortured them badly in the last game.

With such great power and a tall stature, it was a luxury for him to hit the ball into the outfield.

Seeing that the ace pitcher of Yokohama Kohoku is about 170 cm tall, Isashiki Jun actually relaxed.

"Their ace pitcher's forkball has a big drop, so we need to be careful with that."

"Does the ultimate move refer to the forkball?"

After hearing this, the tension on the faces of the students from Qingdao High School disappeared.

The fork ball is almost the most basic type of changeup.

For a team with such a strong lineup, the forkball poses no threat at all.

"Top of the first inning, Seidou High School is on offense, the first batter, shortstop, is Kuramochi-san."

"Throw it well, Guan Lin!"

"We are the ones defending at the back!"

"Let them call us!"

The team atmosphere in Yokohama Kohoku is also full of passion.

You can see it from their fielders.

But Guanlin curled his lips and muttered.

"I'm not going to let them hit the ball."

As the pioneer of Seidou High School, Kuramochi knows best what his mission is.

As long as the baseball was thrown by the pitcher, he would accept it.

Hit the ball whenever you see it.

This is his usual style.

Usually as long as the first pitch was a strike, Kuramochi would swing.

This results in the ball being hit out many times before the pitcher even has time to try out Kuramochi's batting habits.

In the first pitch, the catcher of Yokohama Kohoku was very cautious and chose a high straight ball to the outside corner.

At such a high distance, it looks like a bad ball from the batter's box.

The hung hitter has no intention of swinging.

"Whoosh!"

But it turned out that they still underestimated Kurachi.

Kuramochi doesn't care what it looks like. As long as the ball comes over and doesn't obviously fall in the bad ball zone, he will hit it.

"Qiang!"

A very high quality swing.

"Have it!"

Kuramochi watched the baseball fly out steadily, his heart filled with joy, and he quickly reported the good news.

"impossible."

Guan Lin looked calm, looking back, and was very confident in his own fielder.

"Snapped!"

Sure enough, the second baseman jumped on the spot and blocked the baseball that was about to fly to the outfield.

"Out!"

The fielders of Yokohama Kohoku have excellent physical fitness, and this level of ball is nothing more than "playing house" for them.

One out!

When Kuramochi walked off the stage, his face was full of disbelief and he was mocked by Ryosuke who came over.

"If you keep going like this, you'll be out of the starting lineup."

"The second batter, second baseman, is Ryosuke Kominato."

Liangjie came on stage with a smile on his face. After seeing him, Guan Lin couldn't help but feel a headache.

Apart from Zhou Hui and Yuki, Ryosuke may be the only player in Qingdao High School who has no obvious shortcomings.

If I had to say something, it would only be his height.

"nice shot!"

"Bad ball."

"Bad ball."

"nice shot!"

"Out of bounds."

"Out of bounds."

"Out of bounds."

……

"Ball, four balls, walk."

The umpire points to first base.

After fighting with Ryosuke for twelve balls, Guan Lin finally ran out of tricks and sent Ryosuke away.

It would be better to recommend him than to face Ryosuke head-on.

The final outcome is always the same.

The player Ryosuke will give you the illusion that you can strike him out.

In this way, I have fallen into his trap.

"Third batter, first baseman, Yuuki-san."

When Yuki came on stage, he brought his own aura and the whole audience fell silent.

"What a scary aura."

Yokohama Kohoku's ears told him that the whole stadium became quiet after Yuki came on the field.

What kind of player has such ability?

"Whoosh!"

The first pitch was a low outside corner straight ball. Yuki did not swing the bat, but instead watched Guan Lin's pitching habits.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Yuki was as cautious as ever and never swung at a ball he was not sure of.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing the second ball coming, Yuki held the bat and determined the direction where the baseball was coming from.

A high straight ball.

"Qiang!"

Strictly speaking, this ball did not enter the strike zone, but Yuki still chose to hit it out.

As long as you have the ability, everything else is just clouds.

A hit to left field.

Ryosuke moved forward to the base and Yuki came to first base.

One out, runners on first and second base!

It's them again!

This is the most stable duo of Qingdao High School!
