Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 200 Brother's Fighting Style

"Two outs, runner on first base. To be honest, this inning is almost over. Let's prepare for the next inning."

Coach Suda began to analyze the situation on the field.

Although Miyuki's hit was good, if the batter behind him couldn't connect, his base reach would be a bit useless.

Besides, it was only on first base.

The next player to come on stage will definitely not be able to send Yuki back.

How to get points from Tamba became a problem that Yamamori Academy needed to consider.

Director Suda thought so too.

"If their starting pitcher wasn't the ace pitcher, we should be leading now, and the game wouldn't be tied until now. It's really a headache."

Supervisor Suda scratched his head.

But he didn't think much about it.

Although Tamba is the starting player for Qingdao High School this time, it does not mean that they have no chance.

You can see it from the scoreboard.

They can still get a point from Danbo.

If it were any other pitcher, Coach Suda thinks it wouldn't be that difficult.

As for the degree of research on other pitchers, they are relatively more.

The next player to appear in the batter's box was a player with pink hair and bangs covering his eyes.

Kominato Spring Market!

By autumn, he will be the only candidate to be the main second baseman for Seidou High School.

Although his ability to stick to the ball isn't as disgusting as his brother's, he still plays with his own style.

Although the effect is not significant and his overall strength is not as good as his brother, there is no problem for him to become the main second baseman of Seidou High School in the fall.

"Is Ryosuke's injury still not healed?"

When she saw that the next player from Seidou High School to enter the batter's box was Haruichi, Yamato Akiko understood something.

"Ryosuke-kun was hit directly in the chest in the last match, so his recovery will definitely not be that fast. I just hope Haruichi can shoulder the responsibility."

Fujio shook his head.

If Ryosuke hadn't been hit by that pitch, he would be in the batter's box right now.

Thinking of Ryosuke's eye for ball selection and ability to stick to the ball, Fujio also felt sorry for Seidou High School.

If Ryosuke comes on the court, Seidou High School's batting will definitely be smoother than it is now, and victory will come faster.

As a reporter from West Tokyo, in a competition like Koshien, Fujio would definitely be more inclined to Seidou High School.

After all, they are all from West Tokyo, and it is always right to support the team from their own region.

But as a reporter, their images are there, and I can't show any obvious preference.

This is the most basic ethics for a journalist.

"But Haruichi-san's batting ability should be pretty good, right? Although he didn't show it in high school, his batting average in junior high school was terrifyingly high. Compared to his first-year classmates, his batting average was only lower than Zhou Hui-san."

"You also said that it was during junior high school," Fujio said. "Junior high school and high school games are two different concepts. There are many players who performed well in junior high school but never recovered in high school."

After hearing this, Yamato Akiko stopped talking.

"But I don't think Haruichi-san is such a player."

"Ugh?"

Didn't Fujio just deny that he thought Haruichi was strong? Why did he say that now?

"Although the results under Coach Kataoka's leadership in recent years have been poor, we have to deny that he is very good at judging people. There is no difference in this regard. It's just that it's a bit of a headache to train them, otherwise Seidou High School could have entered Koshien at least twice in the past five years. I think the players that Coach Kataoka has chosen should be able to shoulder the responsibility of this blow!"

Fujio folded his arms.

The game on the field continued.

Yuto Kamado VS Haruichi Kominato.

A battle between two first years.

"This guy is also a freshman. We won't reveal too much of our strength when dealing with him. We should use a straight ball from the high outside corner."

The two of them typed the same secret code at the same time.

Absolutely amazing!
Although it is not so rare for a pair of twins to have telepathic connection, if they are used correctly, it will not be easy to deal with them in the competition field.

"Whoosh!"

Kamizuru Yuto raised his arm and the white ball flew out.

The baseball whizzed over and soon reached Haruichi's hands.

From this angle and this position, Chun Shi can definitely hit the target.

But he still chose to let it go.

"Snapped!"

Shenzu and Dou were both a little confused.

Why is his swing enthusiasm so low? Is he really a player from Seidou High School?
"nice shot!"

But fortunately, this ball was a good one, which earned the team a good goal.

As Kamisada and Hoto threw the ball back, they couldn't help but wonder what he was trying to do.

So strange!

If he had swung at that ball just now, the inning would have been over.

The extreme power of the ball coupled with the straight ball that would float slightly upwards caused a lot of trouble for other teams.

The reason why Yamamori Academy has come this far is because of the pitching of Yuto Kamado.

It's pretty much the same pitch as Sawamura's.

It looks like it can be hit easily, but after actually hitting it, I found that the ball is not that simple.

Sawamura relies on the "colorful changing ball", while Kamisama Yuto relies on the floating ball.

Both of them are undoubtedly the role models of this year's Koshien one-year pitchers.

Of course, there is a first-year pitcher who cannot be ignored besides them.

The King of Hokkaido!
The ace pitcher of the giant Daifujimaki, Masamune Hongo, who is called "the next Masahiro Tanaka"!

But these are all things for later.

Qingdao High School must ensure that they can defeat Yamamori Academy in order to get the opportunity to fight against the giant troll Daitomaki.

"Next, let's see if he's comfortable with the inside corner kick."

The ball path on the inside corner.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball drew a beautiful arc in the sky and rushed over along the edge of the strike zone.

The speed and angle of this ball made the batter unable to help but swing the bat.

"How about it? Let's see if you can hit this ball?"

Kamisada Kazuto thought that Haruichi would definitely swing the bat and was very confident.

"Snapped!"

But the moment the baseball came in, he had a bad feeling.

It's not just that Chun Shi didn't swing, but the ball didn't go into the area he wanted.

After the upward float, the baseball deviates a portion of the strike zone.

Now he can only pray that the referee doesn't notice. This is his last resort.

"Bad ball."

The referee's eyes are sharp and he will never let go of any bad ball, including this one.

"Control the ball."

Kamisama and Yuto just gave a simple reminder, but did not tell Kamisama and Yuto that he should grasp the advance amount of time for the baseball to float up when pitching.

They still believe that Seidou High School did not notice that Kamisama Yuto's pitch would float.

But how could this little trick possibly hide the "eagle eyes" of Qingdao High School.

Once Chris sat there, even if he didn't wear gloves and took a bat to play in the game, the tactics of Yamamori Academy would be exposed without a doubt.

It is hard to imagine whether Watanabe will be able to inherit Chris's mantle when Chris retires.

Chris's ability to read people's expressions is something that the current Watanabe cannot compare to.

Sometimes Watanabe also thinks about this problem seriously.

The "gap" between him and Chris is insurmountable no matter how you look at it.

Baseball players like Chris, like Zhou Hui, are rare in a century.

Wizards!

"Whoosh!"

On the field, Kamizuki Kazuto threw the baseball again.

It was obvious that he had learned his lesson from this, or perhaps the idea of Shenzu and Dou had reached his mind.

Twins are amazing.

Shenzuhedou's passing point has obviously improved, and compared to the previous goal, it has indeed been pulled down a bit.

"Snap!" With the amplitude of the upward float, it naturally stayed in the inner corner of the strike zone.

"nice shot!"

Two strikes and one ball.

For the next pitch, Haruichi had to swing the bat no matter what.

Without swinging the bat, he really didn't contribute anything in this inning.

Seeing that Haruichi hadn't taken any action, Sawamura in the lounge became a little anxious.

"Koharu! Swing! Koharu! Swing! If you don't swing, you'll get struck out! Swing!"

Sawamura roared heartbreakingly.

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry.

Chunichi in the batter's box even revealed a mysterious smile.

This is a completely different mentality from Sawamura in the Rest Technique.

Ryosuke looked at his younger brother and couldn't help but feel proud.

Now he has become calm and composed, which is definitely what Ryosuke wants to see.

The current Chun Shi is no longer the boy who used to follow him around and call him brother.

"Make him swing, straight ball in the red."

Unable to bear it any longer, the two brothers began to use a more extreme method.

He didn’t believe that Chun Shi could tolerate the straight ball in the red!
No matter how patient a hitter is, it is impossible not to swing at a straight ball in the red.

A straight ball in the red is a godsend for the hitter.

Few pitchers would throw the ball to this spot.

Except for those pitchers who are very confident in their own balls.

For example, Jiang Guxiao.

He can then throw the ball to the red center with confidence.

He hits the ball so fast that in some games he doesn't even care if his ball gets hit.

It is someone else's skill to hit his ball.

It’s just that Akira Fōgani’s ball control is hard to describe, and it takes a certain amount of luck to shoot into the red center.

The performance is unstable, but the talent is there.

It should not be a problem for Akira Furiya to become the ace pitcher of Seidou High School.

After all, Seidou High School is still in an era with poor pitching staff.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball flew towards the center.

The exact center of the strike zone!
"The grip is too short!"

The sharp-eyed Zhou Hui noticed that Chun Shi's stick-holding posture had changed.

Holding a short stick!

This will indeed allow you to hit the straight ball into the red, but the distance will become a problem.

Whether or not you can generate a hit is also a big test.

"Qiang!"

Haruichi waved gently, with no special expression on his face.

The bat grazed the fur of the baseball, then flew towards the guardrail behind the catcher and hit it directly.

"Out of bounds."

The referee stretched out his hands to judge, then took out a ball and handed it to Kamisama Hedou.

"That shouldn't be the case. Haruichi should have chosen to hit the ball directly. Did he swing the bat too late?"

Minister Ota asked in confusion.

Although he is unreliable most of the time, he does know a little more about baseball than normal people.

Having been with his classmates at Qingdao High School for such a long time, he is already familiar with each person's characteristics.

Chun Shi could have hit the ball just now, there was no need to hit it out of bounds.

This is totally unnecessary.

"Has the opportunity been seized?"

Kamisama Kazuto thought about it, but immediately shook his head and denied his idea.

"No, if he really seized the opportunity, the baseball would have been hit out, and the way he swung the bat just now was obviously too late."

"For the next ball, use a straight ball at a low angle."

This goal was still Shenzu and Dou's forte.

Although it is a low angle, but with the upward drift, the overall look is actually no different from a straight ball slightly below the red center.

The most important thing is the process of floating upwards!

Many people suffer at this time.

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

Haruichi swung the bat again and brought the ball out of bounds.

"Foul ball!"

He had a very good timing on both swings, with almost no deviation.

If he had the ability, he could obviously hit the ball out instead of hitting it out of bounds.

If you look at it this way, the truth comes to light.

What he has to do is to play in the same way as his brother.

As Ryosuke's younger brother, Haruichi has seen all his fighting styles since he was a child.

Haruichi also knows that he may not be able to get a hit against Yuto Kamado, so he can change his thinking.

Like his brother, he forces opponents to send him to the bases.

This is naturally good too.

Kamisama and To finally realized something at this point and began to figure out Haruichi.

If the first throw-in was a matter of luck, then the second one was definitely intentional.

As a baseball player, he believes in the existence of luck.

There are many times when luck can determine the outcome of a game.

But luck can never dominate the game, the most important thing is strength.

It was obvious that both of these out-of-bounds balls were Chun City’s strength.

This is going to be difficult.

Haruichi is like Ryosuke's clone, torturing Yamamori Gakuin.

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball."

Kamisama and To were still considering using a bad pitch on the outside corner to lure Haruichi into swinging, but Haruichi had already seen through their little trick.

Unmoving as a mountain.

Although he and Ryosuke are still some distance apart in this regard, dealing with Yamamori Academy should be no problem.

"Bad ball."

"Out of bounds."

"Bad ball."

"Out of bounds."

……

Haruichi's sticky ball abilities are now on par with his brother's.

Continuously swinging the ball out of bounds caused Shenzu Yuto to waste sixteen or seventeen balls of his energy.

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"Ball. Ball. Walk."
