Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 198 Brothers Link
With two outs, there was a man on second base.

Zhou Hui scored the first point for Qingdao High School with a long hit that hit the left field protective wall.

Although it's not a home run, it's good to be able to score.

The scene immediately cheered.

The cheering was divided into two major groups.

On one side is the "red ocean" and on the other side is the "blue and white ocean".

They correspond to the fans from China and the cheerleading team of Qingdao High School respectively.

As for the rest...

Those fans were all dressed in colorful clothes and could not form a faction at all.

No one will notice.

After Zhou Hui reached base, his eyes almost turned red when he saw the fans cheering for him behind him.

Although Zhou Hui looks extremely cold, he is actually a very emotional person.

If it weren't for this reason, Zhou Hui would have had a lot of girlfriends just because of his good looks.

I wouldn't be alone now.

What Zhou Hui was afraid of was hurting his own heart.

Zhou Hui has always been serious and responsible about relationships.

Looking back, Zhou Hui stopped looking at the fans cheering for him.

The more I looked at him, the more I wanted to cry.

The appearance of Zhou Hui is also a kind of redemption for these fans.

They saw hope for the revival of Chinese baseball and also had their own home team.

There was a time when they didn't even have their own home team when watching baseball.

They simply love baseball, but they don't understand the culture of the Koshien team, and they know nothing about choosing the home team.

Only a small number of people know the history of the Koshien team through the Internet and books and have their own home team.

Everyone else still only cares about which team is strong and which team they like, that's all.

It was not until Zhou Hui arrived that they had their own home team.

This can be considered a two-way journey for Zhou Hui and Chinese baseball fans.

Seidou High School still has opportunities to continue scoring, but it is not difficult to see from the attacks of Kuramochi and Hakushu that they are not an easy team to deal with.

Sure enough, in the following attacks, Kamizuki Wado and Kamizuki Yuto found their feeling again.

Both sliders did not fall into the strike zone and were swept out of bounds by Isajiki Jun's swing.

The last high straight ball to the inside corner forced Isashiki Jun to swing the bat in an extremely uncomfortable situation.

"Qiang!"

"It's so heavy!"

It can be felt that Kamisama Yuto's ball power is definitely extraordinary. Even Isashiki Jun, who represents brute force, made such an evaluation.

The little white ball eventually flew to right outfield and was caught by the fielder, who was out.

Qingdao High School only got one point in this round, and it was thanks to the connection between Zhou Hui and Yuki.

In the locker room, Jun Isashiki put away his bat, put on his gloves and looked depressed.

That ball clearly had a chance to land.

He had swung the bat as hard as he could.

A power hitter like him had a chance to hit a base hit even if he touched the edge of the baseball, but he didn't expect to get a catch and be out.

"Their strength seems to lie not only in the chemistry between the twins."

Chris said to Director Kataoka with a wry smile.

The fighting style of the twins from Yamamori Academy replayed over and over in his mind, and it was only when he noticed the details that he felt how terrifying they were.

"Have you figured that out yet?"

Director Kataoka locked his eyes on Chris.

"That's right, but I don't know if my judgment is correct. Yuto's pitching is not that simple."

"tell me the story."

"It's easy to explain. Although his balls all look like straight straight balls with nothing special about them, they actually have a lot of tricks. His straight balls will actually float upwards when they enter the strike zone, so our players can't hit the center of the ball when they swing. In addition, Yuto's ball is very powerful. If it wasn't for full power, we wouldn't have a chance to hit it out."

After hearing what Chris said, Director Kataoka nodded.

It has to be Chris who starts from the details and figures out the pitching patterns and habits of Shenzu Yuto.

"His changeup isn't that great, but as long as his straight ball is the same as in this round, we have no one else we can trust except Zhou Hui and Yuki."

After all, Yuki and Zhou Hui are just two people. As long as they can ensure that the batters behind them are dealt with, it actually doesn’t have much impact on them.

Moreover, the strength of Yamamori Academy's center batting line is still an unknown.

If their center batting line can score points against Danbo, the one-point lead will be unstoppable.

Danbo himself is a person with a particularly fragile mentality. After losing one point, it is very likely that losing points in a row will become the norm.

It is not difficult for Yamamori College to overtake the score.

"So, if we want to win, we have to deal with that pitcher, right?"

Minister Ota chased after him and asked.

"You can't be so sure. Yuto is quite capable, but he's still a freshman. The big situations he faced weren't even one-third of ours. We just need to force the game into a crucial moment. I don't believe a freshman can handle a big situation. Even if Coach Suda chooses to make a substitution at that time, it will be useless."

Chris smiled, as if he saw the scene of Seidou High School advancing to the Koshien finals.

But the prerequisite is that they must play the game into a desperate situation!

Best tie ever!

If the opponent beats them 5:1 or 7:2, then Chris' words would be in vain.

"Freshmen really don't have the opportunity to face big games, but our team's Zhou Hui, Sawamura, and Furuya are all freshmen. They should have some ability to face big games."

When Chris heard this, he immediately looked at Minister Ota as if he was mentally retarded.

However, Minister Ota did not notice this subtle change in his expression and continued to look at Chris with his bright eyes.

"Captain Ohta, except for Zhou Hui, aren't the other first-year players really incapable of taking on big tasks? Whether it's Furuya or Sawamura, they both have a hard time playing against the wind. Especially Furuya, who didn't need to give up on himself after being caught by the opponent. Which team do you think such a player will become the main force of without the baptism of time?"

Chris posed this question to Minister Ohta.

To be honest, these four freshmen in their army are really good.

But apart from Zhou Hui, no one else is so exaggerated that he can carry Qingdao High School forward.

Zhou Hui's strength cannot be denied.

Qingdao High School was able to enter this year, and Zhou Hui was definitely the main contributor.

He is the team's fourth batter and the man with the most batting average, RBIs, and home runs on the team.

They can help the team at certain moments, but they are definitely not the ones who play a crucial role.

When Minister Ota heard this, he felt that it made some sense and stopped asking further questions.

At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the court.

Zhou Hui in the left outfield twisted his arms, as if he was ready for a big fight.

"Tamba-senpai, let them call us!"

"Leave the defense to us!"

"No problem, no problem!"

"I won't give you a chance to show your face. Just watch me strike them out one by one!"

After playing the last game, Danbo gradually found his form and his confidence increased by several levels.

"Top of the second inning, Yamamori Academy is on offense, fourth batter, catcher, Kazuto Kazuto-san."

"Want to strike out? Have you asked me?"

Kamisaki Kazuto walked into the batter's box with his bat.

As a freshman, he can already serve as the fourth batter in the Koshien team. Like Zhou Hui, his strength should not be underestimated.

But no one in Qingdao High School thought that he would be on par with Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui's talent is truly abnormal.

It would be amazing if one Zhou Hui appeared at a time, but it is simply impossible to have two.

This year, Qingdao High School got a great deal. Kamisaki and Toto's striking postures were very ordinary, with nothing too eye-catching.

He spread his feet apart and lifted the bat onto his shoulder.

There's nothing fancy about it.

This kind of hitter is actually more terrifying.

Think of Captain Yuki of Seidou High School.

He also had a normal striking posture and was even unwilling to move.

But he can become one of the convincing hitters of Seidou High School.

"kick off!"

Seeing that Kamisama and To were standing so far forward, Miyuki kicked an inside corner kick without thinking.

For hitters in this position, the inside corner is definitely the best option.

"Whoosh!"

The silver-white ball was as fast as lightning. In less than an instant, it reached the strike zone and went into Miyuki's glove. It seemed that Kamijou and Dou were unable to react.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Miyuki stood up and threw the ball back, and saw that Kamisama and To's positions had not changed at all.

Yukichi couldn't help but wonder in his mind what the reason for his position was.

It is difficult to handle the inside corner kick in this position. After seeing how sharp Danbo's inside corner kick was, he remained unmoved.

Are you really not afraid of the subsequent consecutive inside corner kicks?
Although this might be a flaw that Kamado deliberately left for an inside corner kick, Miyuki still chose to take another inside corner kick.

This was just Miyuki's guess, he still couldn't see through Kamado and To's heart.

He is different from Chris.

Chris is very observant and can often see through a person.

This is something that Yukichi needs to learn.

"Whoosh!"

Raising his arm, Silver Horse spear, Danbo threw the ball with a forward "stabbing" motion, just like in ancient times.

The thrown baseball was like a "sharp sword", stabbing into Kamijou and To's chest.

Seeing another inside corner kick, Shenzu and Dou were eager to see it.

"Closer."

The baseball entered the strike zone and was at hand.

Although it was awkward to hit the inside corner ball from this position, Kamisama Hedou still chose to swing.

If I don’t try this time, I don’t know when I’ll have such a good opportunity again.

What Kamisama and Kazuto are best at is the inside corner kick.

That's why he chose this position, waiting for the pitcher's inside corner ball.

Even if he is not feeling well, it is not difficult for him to hit the target if he is good at it.

As expected, Miyuki guessed correctly. The reason why Kamizura and Hoto did not retreat after seeing the inside corner kick was because they were waiting for such a ball.

"Qiang!"

He swung the bat and knocked the baseball out.

The baseball kept flying in the sky, then slowly landed in the right outfield and landed behind Shirasu.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kamisada and Toto reached second base.

No one out, second base occupied.

As soon as Qingdao High School came up, they faced the pressure of losing points.

Kamizaku Kazuto behind Tamba was eager to reach third base, trying to steal a base.

He deliberately moved a large distance away from second base in order to confuse Danbo.

Although he is only in the first grade, he is very smart.

He knows what to do after he reaches the base, and with such great talent, it makes sense for him to be a catcher.

"Fifth batter, third baseman, Toyama-san."

Although Tamba knew that Kamiya and Dou behind him would not steal bases, he still felt uncomfortable if he didn't hold them back.

But the key point is that he didn't dare to restrain it at all.

why?
The second baseman of Seidou High School is Haruichi, not Ryosuke.

I haven't worked with Danbo much, so we don't have much tacit understanding.

Rash cooperation is definitely not a good thing.

"Don't worry about the runner. He doesn't dare to steal the base. Just face the batter in front of you."

Miyuki's secret signal was sent out, and Tamba also turned around.

Looking at Toyama in front of him and Miyuki's secret signal, Tamba quickly threw the baseball.

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

On the first pitch, Toyama swung directly.

Hit the ball in the outside corner on the edge of the strike zone.

"Snapped!"

After the baseball was picked up, it was caught by Yuki at first base.

"Out!"

Apart from Kamizuru and Dou, it's probably hard for anyone to knock the ball out of Tamba's way.

Even though Danbo's ability is not that great, it is still comparable to pitchers across the country.

The fact that he rushed to Koshien from West Tokyo in the fierce battle zone already proved that he was quite strong.

Among the top pitchers, his ability is at the bottom, but among the middle and upper classes, he is far ahead of others.

"The sixth batter, the pitcher, is Yuto Kamado."

Kamado and Tou's twin brother came up.

As soon as he stepped into the batter's box, he winked at Kamisama and Dou, as if he was deliberately studying some tactics.

Their secret codes were all improvised, so cracking them was a difficult task.

It is not difficult to guess that they were ready to score this time.

In this match, their goal was to tie the score.

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

After seeing the first inside corner kick, Kamisama Yuto took a few steps back.

Obviously, although he was not interested in this shot, he was still prepared to hit it.

Kamisama Yuto did this, and then Miyuki scored a corner kick.

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

Just right!

The baseball fell behind the second baseman, and after running past third base, Kamisama Kazuto ran towards home plate without hesitation.

In the end, there was no surprise. Kamisama Kazuto returned to home base and tied the score for Yamamori Academy!

1: 1!

Qingdao High School and Yamamori Academy are once again back on the same starting line.

The "brotherly alliance" of the two Shenzu brothers really caught Qingdao High School off guard.
