Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 204 Home Run Feast

The baseball hit the scoreboard in center field!

This is the farthest home run ever hit from home plate! It hits right on the scoreboard!
How powerful and explosive is Zhou Hui's power?
This blow alone can prove it!

Although Zhou Hui cannot yet be called the strongest hitter in the country, he is definitely qualified to join the discussion.

This is Zhou Hui's first year in high school, and he currently has four home runs and 21 RBIs.

This result can be said to be very terrifying.

Especially this one.

This is an honor that many high school students cannot obtain even after three years of hard work, but Zhou Hui achieved it in his first year.

Even a strong country like Dong Qing did not have this honor in the first grade.

However, in the next few years, it was difficult for Zhou Hui to achieve the same result as Dongqing Kingdom.

Dong Qingguo hit more than 40 home runs after graduation, while Zhou Hui only hit four.

It's completely not on the same level.

More importantly, in the first year, Dongqingguo was not even the main force of Qingdao High School.

He was promoted to become the main force of Qingdao High School only later. In his first year, he was nothing.

Just the captain's substitute.

In addition, Qingdao High School had poor academic performance and had few games to play. In those years, Dongqing National University did not even play a single Koshien game.

In a limited number of games, he won the title of "Home Run King" of West Tokyo.

Doesn't this prove how terrifying he is?

At least Zhou Hui himself thought that he would never be able to catch up.

There might still be a chance for an RBI, but a home run is almost impossible.

Zhou Hui threw away the bat in his hand and ran past one base after another amid the shock of Yamamori Academy and the cheers of the whole audience.

But the cheers were only part of it.

The cheers came from the audience seats and lounge of Qingdao High School, while there was complete silence at Yamamori Academy.

It was as if they had been silenced, and no one spoke.

“Is this a home run?”

After a long pause, someone in the audience seats of Yamamori Academy spoke.

He had just recovered from the shock.

"Yes, and it was a home run right on the scoreboard."

The audience member next to him also swallowed.

Shocking, beyond words!

"Is it true that this team hasn't made it to Koshien in five years? Why doesn't it look like that to me?"

"They couldn't have been hiding their strength all along, otherwise how could they suddenly appear and play such an eye-catching game."

"Are you two stupid? If a team can make it to Koshien, they will definitely try their best to get there. How can there be any such thing as conserving strength? Which team would waste a player's peak performance in vain?"

At this time, an audience member who knew football stood up and dispelled the two people's immature thoughts.

"Besides, Zhou Hui is still a freshman, so there is no question of preserving his strength. It can only be said that his appearance has helped Qingdao High School reach a height that does not belong to them."

"But Zhou Hui is so strong that he should have been discovered when he was in junior high school. Hakuryu High School and Kiryu High School, which are regular visitors to Koshien, must have extended olive branches to him. Then why did he want to go to Seidou High School? Seidou High School hasn't made it to Koshien in how many years? Is he really not afraid of wasting his talent?"

"Who knows where to go? Maybe they just want to make it a little more difficult, who knows?"

This reason is very far-fetched.

Rei Takashima pushed up her black-framed glasses in the lounge.

No one knows better than him how Zhou Hui came to Qingdao High School.

If it weren't for this strong woman who visited the Zhou family one after another, Zhou Hui might have been poached by other schools.

It’s good that he was poached by a local team in Hokkaido.

As long as it's before Koshien, their pressure won't be so great.

What they were afraid of was that Zhou Hui would be poached by Daocheng Industry or the city’s third high school.

Based on Zhou Hui's static talent alone, both the Municipal High School and Daocheng Industry will definitely cultivate him.

If their talents are realized in the rival team, it will not be good news for Seidou High School.

It has been a long time since we made it to Koshien, so the chances of entering Koshien are even slimmer.

Takashima Rei was not just trying to prove his ability in selecting people, he was also considering the position of coach Kataoka.

If Seidou High School fails to make it to Koshien this year, coach Kataoka will be close to being fired.

In a short period of time, Qingdao High School may soon find a new supervisor.

But the self-esteem of this young and new supervisor, Director Kataoka, may suffer a big blow.

This time, Zhou Hui came to save Director Kataoka.

Zhou Hui was able to single-handedly lead Seidou High School, which had not entered Koshien for five years, into the Koshien semi-finals. Zhou Hui is very strong, and Takashima Rei's vision of people is becoming more and more sharp.

By the way, Takashima Rei’s vision of people this year is really good.

Apart from Zhou Hui, the biggest surprise of Qingdao High School is Sawamura.

A layman pitcher can actually become a first-team player for Qingdao High School.

The other first-year students have no direct relationship with Takashima Rei.

At that time, Takashima Rei didn't take people like Kanamaru and Tojo seriously. He simply sent them an invitation and left it up to them to come or not.

After all, according to convention, people who graduated from Matsukata Youth Baseball Team usually go to the city's third high school, and very few come to Qingdao High School.

Secondly, Haruichi also followed in his brother's footsteps and came to Seidou High School, and has little relationship with Takashima Rei.

"You scared me to death, that ball was obviously a bad one, but I didn't expect you to hit it anyway."

Baizhou was waiting for Zhou Hui at home plate.

"I knew it was a bad pitch, but the angle was so good that I couldn't help but swing at it."

"You're still saying it's okay from such a tricky angle, you're a monster!"

"You've known that he's a monster for a long time, so there's no need to be so shocked."

Yuuki said.

"makes sense."

"Hahahahahaha."

The trio from Qingdao High School returned to the lounge with Minglang's laughter.

But on the court, Shenzu and Dou couldn't laugh at all.

Look at the scoreboard.

4: 1.

They felt really uncomfortable after overtaking the opponent by such a large margin all of a sudden.

Moreover, hearing Zhou Hui speaking so easily just now, Shenzu Hedou also knew that Zhou Hui might not have used his true ability yet.

Just a random hit would be a home run. If Zhou Hui really showed his true ability, what would happen?
I originally wanted to make a bad pitch to avoid a head-on confrontation, but I didn't expect Zhou Hui to be so capable.

Hit all the bad balls away.

Is this still a high school student?
"Not bad. Your power point on that home run just now was very good."

Chris praised Zhou Hui.

To be honest, Chris' current strength is far inferior to Zhou Hui's, but in theory Zhou Hui is still slightly inferior.

This is why, even though Zhou Hui is so strong, he still recognizes Chris as his master.

"This guy is really strong! My position as the number one player in the history of Qingdao High School seems to be threatened."

Dong Qingguo took a sip of carbonated drink and said.

Although carbonated drinks are not allowed in professional leagues, considering that there is no need to maintain Dong Qingguo's physique, the team supervisor has relaxed the restrictions.

It doesn't matter what you eat and drink in Dongqing Kingdom.

But the prerequisite is that there must be two hits in each game.

Dong Qingguo thought it was difficult at first, but after playing two games, he felt that it was not difficult.

It's similar to the high school league, with just some differences in details.

Dong Qingguo’s transition from high school to vocational education is an excellent transition.

No discomfort.

Dong Qingguo had only been playing professionally for a year, and he was about to be promoted to the first team. This speed was really fast.

Many professional baseball players spend their entire careers struggling in the second team. Compared to them, Dong Qingguo is definitely the one who is suitable for playing baseball and has a talent for baseball.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

After Zhou Hui left the game, Qingdao High School's batting line seemed to have wilted, and no one could continue to contribute hits.

Be it Toru Masuko or Miyuki.

None of them performed as well as they could have.

Their attacks even made the Yamamori Academy’s fielders feel unfamiliar.

Is this really the batting line of a top team in the country?
It seems to be just like that.

"Even if we're ahead, we still have to be vigilant. Yamamori Academy is a famous school in the country. We can't be careless with them. We have to play every round as if it were our last!"

"Yes!"

The students of Qingdao High School responded and ran to their defensive positions.

Having just conceded three points, Yamamori Academy must be in a bad mood.

What Qingdao High School needs to do next is to take advantage of his illness and kill him!

This is the simplest and most direct way.

Breaking their hearts is more important than anything else!

"Top of the fourth inning, Yamamori Academy is on offense, third batter, second baseman, Uehara-san."

The third batter of Yamamori Academy is their third year, and he is also one of the people who just got upset with Kamado and Tou.

He turned back to look at Shenzuwato, determined to let him know his strength.

But who knew that Shenzu and Dou didn't want to look at him at all.

This is Shenzuhedou's way of motivating!
He believes that people like himself can maximize the potential of the seniors.

When people are angry, the potential they unleash is undoubtedly the greatest.

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

"shit!"

When Uehara hit the baseball, he felt a sense of disappointment.

The impact of the baseball was so great that Uehara was unable to react for a moment.

He didn't even know why he reached out.

Even though he tried his best to change the direction of the bat, he still didn't hit the center of the ball, and the baseball was hit out.

The ball rolled in front of Masuko Toru and was easily intercepted and passed to first base.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

One out and no one on base.

As soon as the game started, the third batter of Yamamori Academy gave Qingdao High School a "big gift package".

Qingdao High School will get better soon.

"That curve ball just now was a cheat!"

Uehara was still chattering when he left the field, totally incredulous that a curve ball like that could be seen by anyone.

After hearing all this, Kamisama Kazuto said nothing and walked up with his bat.

"The fourth batter, the catcher, is Kazuto-san."

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

For the first pitch, Miyuki chose a straight ball that went straight into the batter's chest.

Danbo's physical strength is limited, so it is impossible for him to keep throwing changeups.

What they need to do is to make the change balls and straight balls intersect and respond to each other.

There's nothing wrong with changing the taste.

"What do you mean? He didn't hit such an obvious shot? Is he too proud?"

Uehara looked at Kamado and To's actions with a look of confusion on his face.

If he gets the ball, he has great confidence that he can hit it.

As a hitter of the Koshien team, he will definitely have no problem facing straight balls.

Yukichi also realized this.

It is not a good thing to "feed" straight balls to the Koshien team. Now the priority should be on breaking balls.

It's easy for them to bite the straight ball.

But if it's a changeup, it's hard to say.

The path of a breaking ball changes so much that even if you know it in advance you may still not be able to hit it well.

"Whoosh!"

On the next ball, Danbo threw it toward the outside corner.

The moment it enters the strike zone, the baseball makes a 180-degree turn.

Although it is still within the strike zone, the magnitude of this change is not a good thing for a player who has already made a swing.

It's understandable if you don't play well.

"Qiang!"

Kamatsuka and Tou immediately changed their swing and tried their best to reach the baseball.

"What did I say? This ball is what caused me so much trouble!"

Shang originally thought that Kamado and Kazuto would be treated the same as him, but something that he would never believe happened.

The baseball was hit and landed in right field.

A hit was made!
"This...this is impossible!"

Uehara's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

"Uehara, how many times have I told you that this junior is no ordinary person?"

Director Suda also said.

He has always been optimistic about the two brothers Shenzu, and believed that they are the most crucial figures in the revival of Yamamori Academy.

Tamba, who allowed a single to the outfield, was in very bad shape.

Facing the next batter, he carried the baseball to the outfield even though his previous at-bat was very easy.

Fortunately, the position this time was left outfield, so Zhou Hui caught it safely.

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

Before Shenzu Yuto came on the court, he had a clear plan for himself.

Naturally, his striking ability cannot be compared with his brother's.

So all he thought about was, aim for the straight ball!

Hit his straight ball!
"Whoosh!"

The first ball, just as Kamisama Yuto expected, Tamba threw a straight ball.

And it’s not far from the center.

Just right!

"Qiang!"

He swung the bat, took a step forward and hit the ball out.

"Qiang!"

The baseball couldn't bear being hit so hard, and flew out to the left outfield guarded by Zhou Hui like a rocket!

Home run to left field!

Zhou Hui just hit a home run, and Shenzu Youdou hit another one!
This game has become a home run feast!
