Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 177: Almighty Zhou Hui

Ryosuke fell to the ground in response. What was sad was that as the team's top commander, Coach Kataoka couldn't step up to him immediately.

He could only watch from below as his disciple covered his chest and cried out in pain.

There was nothing he could do. This was the rule of the game. Even if a player was injured, he could not go to the stadium without permission.

When Chris saw this scene, he was also frightened.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Chris pretended to be calm.

No one in Qingdao High School knows more about injuries than him.

He has suffered many serious injuries over the years and he knows how difficult the recovery process is.

"Team doctor, hurry up!"

The team doctor of Qingdao High School immediately carried a stretcher up. Ryosuke had no way to continue playing.

"Get ready to replace!"

Although Ryosuke's injury was a big deal, the bigger issue was finding someone to replace him and continue the race.

The competition is not so humane and will not give you time to think.

When an injured player leaves the field, someone must take his place.

"Who's warmed up?"

Coach Kataoka looked at everyone at Seidou High School.

I saw that the locker room of Qingdao High School was full and many fielders had not yet warmed up.

The substitute fielders of Seidou High School had no chance to play. They could only sit in the locker room and had very little playing time, so naturally they would not warm up.

The only fielder who warms up for every game may be Haruichi.

He really couldn't beat Sawamura, and Seidou High School didn't have an extra catcher, so he could only rely on Haruichi to warm up with him in passing and catching.

Director Kataoka looked around and set his sights on Haruichi.

There is no other way, this is something we have no choice but to do!

He was the only fielder who had warmed up well.

And Director Kataoka already has a new idea in mind.

The infield is the most important position for Seidou High School, and he doesn't dare to leave it to Haruhiko to defend.

This is a very important game in Koshien. Haruichi has hardly played in the summer tournament, and his performance was so poor in the first game of Koshien. Coach Kataoka certainly would not dare to give him the second baseman position at the critical moment.

After the team doctor treated the injured Ryosuke, the referee also made a gesture.

"A walk! Seidou High School's bases are moving forward!"

The umpire pointed to first base.

Shirasu at third base came back.

8: 4!

Qingdao High School scored again and the score gap was widened again.

"Haruichi, the next mission is up to you."

Chun Shi was given the task at a critical moment, which he had not expected.

At such an important moment, Director Kataoka actually believed in him.

"Yes!"

He had no way to refute Supervisor Kataoka's order, so he had to agree.

Coach Kataoka was also praying silently in his heart that this first-year boy would be able to finish the game safely, or at least not be defeated.

"Notification of substitutions from Seidou High School. Ryosuke Kominato is injured and will be replaced by Haruichi Kominato."

"Haruichi Kominato? I've never heard of this name before?"

"Maybe he's also a freshman at Seidou High School."

"Both have the last name Kominato, so he can't be Ryosuke's younger brother."

After Haruichi came on stage, the audience started talking.

It is normal for people to have doubts about such an unfamiliar player.

The game was able to continue.

After Chunshi came on the field as a pinch runner, the good times didn’t last long.

There were immediate problems with Seidou High School's attack. Yuki hit a ground ball between the two defenders, and Fukuzawa got a double play.

Qingdao High School's offensive round also came to an end, and they scored another point in this round.

Yamada shook his head.

After his retirement, I thought the competitive Yokohama Kohoku would move towards a more ambitious goal, but I didn't expect their ceiling to be here. "Haruichi, I don't decide to put you at second base."

The students of Seidou High School had just returned, and Coach Kataoka said to Haruichi.

Haruichi was stunned.

His position is second baseman, and he doesn't even know what other position he can play.

"Boss, are you confused? Which position can Xiaochun defend?"

Sawamura also began to help Haruichi out.

But Director Kataoka did not choose to pay attention to Sawamura and started talking about his own arrangements.

"Haruichi will defend right field, Hakushu will defend left field, and Zhou Hui will replace the second baseman!"

Director Kataoka pushed up his sunglasses and said.

Everyone was stunned!
Zhou Hui goes to defend second base?
Can he do it?
However, people did not say much about the arrangement of the location of the Spring Market.

After all, it's hard for the ball to fly to right field, so it's a very suitable position for Chun Shi.

"That's it, referee!"

Coach Kataoka told the referee their defensive position arrangement, and then the announcement was made over the radio.

But this time it was Yokohama Kohoku's turn to be confused.

"What are they doing? Do they know this is Koshien?"

Takeda was the first to be unhappy.

They started to play around as soon as they got four points. They really didn't take them seriously.

"Director Kataoka must have his own plans for making such an arrangement. We must not underestimate them."

Although the coach of Yokohama Kohoku did not understand Coach Kataoka's "wishful thinking", he still told the players not to underestimate him.

They are the ones who are lagging behind now, so it is normal for their opponents to look down on them.

We just need to take advantage of their momentum and equalize the score in one fell swoop.

Look down on others, but you have to pay a price.

"Bottom of the third inning, Yokohama Kohoku is on offense, the third batter, first baseman, is Arima-san."

After You Ma came on the court, he felt very uncomfortable seeing Zhou Hui's face so close to him.

For Yokohama Kohoku, Zhou Hui is truly the "big devil".

Now I'm in the infield again, and the pressure is really overwhelming.

"High inside corner, stab him in the chest!"

Miyuki gave a secret signal.

After seeing this, Sawamura was actually a little scared.

High inside corner...

All of his hits from the inside corner and high position in this game turned out to be hits.

Is it really possible?

However, seeing that Miyuki showed no intention of changing his mind, he decided to trust Miyuki.

"Whoosh!"

After the baseball was thrown, it disappeared in the white light.

When Arima saw the baseball again, he had no choice but to swing.

"Qiang!"

Even though he used his greatest strength, he "chopped" it down, and the baseball didn't fly too far.

After bouncing off the ground, it arrived near second base.

Zhou Hui walked forward slowly, caught the baseball and passed it to first base.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

The whole set of movements was done in one go, without any sign of unskillfulness at all.

It seems that this is not the first time he has been the team's second baseman, and he is very skilled.

Now Zhou Hui can not only defend the outfield for the team, but also serve as first baseman and second baseman.

He can still get on the pitcher's mound if the team needs him.

An all-around baseball player, that's probably what it means.
