Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 238 Handy

Chapter 238 Handy
Watching the baseball fly out of the field and the umpire announcing that the home run was valid, Hongo's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

This time, he still failed to defeat Zhou Hui, but instead let his miracle continue.

After this home run, Zhou Hui completed the achievement of four home runs in Koshien.

Looking at the history of Koshien, although it cannot be said to be so terrifying, it is also a rising star.

Chris was waiting for Zhou Hui at home base as usual.

After stepping on three bases, Zhou Hui returned to home plate and scored.

"Well done!"

“Good fight!”

Old man Xin Tian's eyes lit up.

Although the Troll Vinejuan is now behind, Zhou Hui's performance did teach Hong Xiang a lesson.

Whether the Troll Daitojuan will rebound at this time is a test of the quality of Hongo, the ace pitcher.

Looking at Hongo who was adjusting his clothes on the pitcher's mound, old man Nitta looked like he was enjoying a good show.

It is remarkable to achieve such results in the first year.

Although Mr. Nitta is very ambitious, he is well aware of the strength of his opponents.

It is not difficult to win the championship in one fell swoop.

The backbone of this team is still young, and they have unlimited possibilities in the future.

The future story will definitely be an extension of the duel between their ace pitcher Hongo and fourth batter Zhou Hui.

“Another home run, this guy.”

Looking at Zhou Hui's triumphant return, Isajiki Junki's teeth began to itch.

Such a junior brother really steals his limelight.

Dong Qingguo was sitting in the audience, wearing a Yakult Swallows hat and saw it all.

"There is someone to take over."

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"nice shot!"

"Strike! Batter is out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"

After the home run, Hongo went crazy. He could throw any ball, no matter how tricky it was, and struck out the remaining three batters of Seidou High School.

After the strikeout, Hongo still had a fierce look in his eyes as he ran down.

"This guy hasn't been defeated yet!"

"Except for Zhou Hui, there is really no one who can match him."

"That is to say, the record of not losing points in Koshien has finally been broken!"

The audience said excitedly.

Looking at the scoreboard, Seidou High School scored two points in the top of the fourth inning.

This is definitely good news.

"Hahahahahahahaha, you still have a long way to go, Hongo."

Mr. Nitta also did not hide his ridicule for Hongo.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks."

"Anyway, they should have made a substitution in the next inning. The pitcher they replaced is of the same type as Hongo."

"No, that guy's ball control is a million times worse than mine."

The village immediately rejected it.

Just like Fōgiya Xiao, it is the greatest insult to him.

Old man Nitta also guessed that this time Qingdao High School would use the follow-up pitching tactic!
Sure enough, when the first batter of the troll Otomuku was about to go to the field, the door of the bullpen suddenly opened and Akira Jōgiya ran out with gloves on.

"It's up to you. Sawamura and Zhou Hui have helped you solve many problems."

Miyuki looked at Fūya Akira expectantly.

Akira Fōtani ran to the pitcher's mound.

Chris didn't come up and say much.

With his strength, he should have no problem dealing with the first three sticks of the giant troll vine.

Even if he were to throw the ball right in the middle, it would be fine.

Sawamura is not the only one who has improved after the experience in Koshien.

Kougu Xiao has also made some progress. Before Kougu Xiao's ball control can be said to be a mess.

It cannot be said that the position of the gloves is exactly the same, it can only be said that they have nothing to do with each other.

But now Akatsuki Fōgiya is different.

Now, Akira Fōtani can at least throw the ball right in the center of the strike zone.

This kind of pitching method can still hit the ball if you seize the opportunity and hold the bat shorter, but it is not that easy to hit.

Combined with Akira Fōgani's fast pitching speed, he can already be considered a top 1 pitcher.

"In the bottom of the fourth inning, the giant troll is attacking. The first batter is Anbao, and the second baseman is Anbao."

The batting order has already changed, but the pitcher of Seidou High School has also changed.

This requires hitters like Troll and Big Ivy to adapt to being a hitter again.

If everything goes well, Coach Kataoka will change the pitcher every three innings.

This would give them a headache if they were replaced with a pitcher right after the Troll Da Tengjuan's batting line-up was rotated.

Now that we have reached the finals of Koshien, coach Kataoka also needs to use this kind of defensive style of play.

Otherwise, there is no way to win.

"Just throw the ball in the strike zone. No angles are needed."

"boom!"

Fōgiya Xiao had long arms and legs. After determining the position of the baseball, he threw it directly.

This sound is no less than that of the local one.

Compared to Fōgiya Akatsuki, to be honest, Hongo is still a little bit inferior.

His ball speed is not as fast as Kageyama Xiao's, so naturally his ball power is not as good as his.

"Qiang!"

"what?!"

But surprisingly, the security guard caught the first ball.

Although he was surprised, when he saw the baseball flying towards him, Xiao Fōgiya didn't react at all, and the baseball flew straight towards Eryoujian.

"Idiot, what are you doing?!"

Kuramochi cursed, then dived and caught the ball.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Can you be serious?"

Kuramochi stood up from the ground and brushed off the dirt on his body.

Damn it!
But Jōgō Aki didn't hear anything and just stood there in a daze.

How on earth did he do it?
In the past, no matter which top team you were the fourth batter of, you would tremble when you encountered my, Kouyanagi Akira’s, ball. How come you could just hit it out directly this time?

"I am confused. I must be confused."

Fōgiya Xiao comforted himself.

The next ball must be scored in the same position to get a good number of balls, so that he can feel a little balanced.

"I can do it!"

"Second batter, shortstop, Hironachi-san."

Chris already had a guess in his mind.

After just one ball, he understood why the troll Daitomaki was so adept at handling Fōgiya Akatsuki's ball.

But these are just his guesses, and further evidence is needed.

What if the batter is confused?
In fact, the probability of this is very small.

From the fluency and purposefulness of Anbao's swing, it can be seen that he is definitely not confused.

He has this strength.

"boom!"
