Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 237 Two-point Cannon

Chris's hit reached second base, and Seidou High School entered the scoring circle.

This is the best chance for Qingdao High School to score.

Because the batting line-up behind them, from the fourth to the seventh batter, is almost unstoppable.

The fourth batter is Zhou Hui, the fifth batter is Yuki, the sixth batter is Isashiki Jun, and the seventh batter is Masuko Toru.

This powerful lineup is a terrifying presence across the country.

Very outrageous.

A strong hitter like Toru Masuko can only play as the seventh batter in Seidou High School, which is enough to show how terrible the batting lineup of Seidou High School is.

But these can only deter other teams.

There is a local troll called Big Vine, and they cannot be intimidated.

Hongo is definitely the undisputed number one pitcher in this year's Koshien, and no one can control him.

From the first round to now, Hongxiang has not lost a single point.

This shows how scary he is.

Hongo is still a first-year student, and the giant troll Daitomaki is also entering Koshien for the first time.

This pitcher, this coach, and this team seem to be born for baseball.

"Winning the Koshien championship is not unique to your group of wealthy families."

Old Man Nitta chuckled.

Although it was his first time entering Koshien, this old man was so ambitious.

He wants to win the Koshien championship!

It's the same no matter who you are.

In his first year as coach of the Giants Otomaki, the team reached the Koshien finals without losing any points. Perhaps any coach would be determined to win the final Koshien championship.

Looking at Yasuda's gesture, Hongo raised his leg and threw the first ball.

"boom!"

The ball is still so powerful.

With this pitching style, if it were someone else, Zhou Hui dared to say that he would not last more than six innings.

It's the same no matter who it is.

Even if it was Xiao Jiangu, Zhou Hui dared to say this.

Fōgiya Akira's pitching was too damaging to his fingers and ankles.

Just pitching the ball can make your fingers bleed, and the friction that Akira Kouya's strength causes to the baseball can be imagined.

With such a good pitcher, how could he lose points?

"Snapped!"

For the first ball, Zhou Hui let it go and observed the path of the ball.

This time, the white ball entered the innermost edge of the strike zone, then fell slightly and was caught by Yasuda.

"A quick fork ball?"

Zhou Hui said to himself.

This guy finally decided to use a changeup against me.

"nice shot!"

The referee's voice is like thunder!
Everyone in Qingdao High School's locker room was shocked. Is this kid's ball control really so good?
Zhou Hui just smiled slightly at the penalty.

It's just for the enjoyment of the game.

There was no major controversy as to whether this ball was called a bad ball.

If it wasn't for the sake of continuity, the referee would never have made such a decision.

Zhou Hui already had a goal in mind, and he would definitely not swing the bat when he saw a changing ball.

He was aiming at Hongo's straight ball!
If they were asked what kind of attack would allow them to score quickly, Zhou Hui would choose to attack Hongxiang's straight ball without hesitation.

As for other changing balls, they are still not that safe.

The first is to score quickly, and the second is for his own 100% batting average.

Zhou Hui's playing style and thinking are very mature.

He is one of those people who looks old at a young age.

What he cares about is not only what high school students care about, but also what professional players care about.

“No swing?”

The hometown was stunned.

He had rarely seen Zhou Hui waiting for the ball, which was really unlike him.

Not to mention the second at-bat, even if it was the first pitch of the first at-bat, he should have swung the bat directly when he saw a good pitch.

How come it becomes like this when it comes to me?
Hongo still couldn't believe it. "Are you waiting for a straight ball?"

Hongo thought for a moment and gave Yasuda a secret signal.

The pitcher took the initiative to give the signal!
Yasuda was shocked when he saw it, not because Hongo took the initiative to give him the secret code.

Yasuda never gave Hongo any secret signals, because his ball handling was usually not to Hongo's liking.

It was common for Hongo to give him secret codes.

What shocked him was the way the ball was matched.

Slide ball!

This is a type of pitch that Hongo has never pitched in Koshien.

The last time I pitched this ball was at the regional conference in Hokkaido.

Yasuda also began to be on guard.

He hid his right hand behind his glove and raised his buttocks.

This posture is when a catcher receives a breaking ball or when there is a runner on the base.

Now that these two factors are in place, it is natural for Yasuda to do so.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball slides out.

“The ball speed is so slow this time.”

Itai in the Qingdao High School lounge noticed the changes in baseball at first glance.

Compared with Hongo's previous high-speed balls, the speed of his ball this time was much slower, which was totally unlike his style.

The speed of the fork ball in Hongo is 150 km/h. Could it be that a ball of this speed...

Ban Jing suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be..."

A graceful arc passed by, and Yasuda's glove pressed down the baseball, but Zhou Hui in the batter's box remained indifferent.

"nice shot!"

Two strikes.

"It's just as I thought!"

Itai stood up.

The trajectory of the ball just now was exactly like a sliding ball that is rarely used in this town!

"Have you taken Zhou Hui so seriously?"

Mr. Nitta looked at Hongo and said calmly.

But at this time, Hongxiang already knew what Zhou Hui was waiting for.

If you continue to throw it to him, the result for the Giant Troll Vine will definitely not be good.

Next, it depends on how he chooses.

"Hongo, you must stay calm!"

It was the last pitch, and Hongo held the baseball tightly.

Two fingers are placed on the top, the thumb holds the side of the baseball, and the remaining two fingers support the baseball.

This is the most basic grip and also the grip for a straight ball.

"Since you want it, I'll give it to you. It's your ability to hit it out!"

"boom!"

A powerful roar was heard, and looking at the baseball approaching him, Zhou Hui took a confident step forward when he saw the ball.

Finally waited!
His muscles tensed, his whole body moved forward, and all his strength was concentrated in his two arms.

A powerful swing!

"Qiang!"

With a fierce swing, the white ball instantly flew straight into the clouds.

This is Zhou Hui’s full-strength attack!
"You dare to throw a straight ball to me, are you crazy?"

The white ball flew farther and farther, Zhou Hui threw down the bat and started running along the three bases.

The blow just now really made his palm numb.

But fortunately the ball was hit out.

Finally, the baseball landed on the stands in left field and was luckily caught by a little kid.

"It flies out! Another one! From the fourth batter of Qingdao High School! Zhou Hui's home run!"
