Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 244 Strikeout Show
Hongo pointed to the sky with one hand, ran to all the bases one by one, and finally returned to home base.

While running the bases, he was also enjoying the warm cheers from the fans in the audience.

At this moment, he is the protagonist of this brilliant baseball field.

In this game, Hongxiang has no idea how many strikeouts he got, and with this home run, his future will definitely be as bright as a diamond.

Return to home plate and score!
2: 1!

Hongo helped the troll Daitojuan to recover one point, and now the difference between the two sides is only one point.

The game is not over yet, and if the Troll Vinejuan wants to catch up, he still has a chance.

In short, from the perspective of this place, this statement is not true.

"well played."

Yasuda stretched out his hand, ready to high-five Hongo as he returned to home base, but Hongo ignored him.

Hongo didn't even think about paying attention to him, he took off his helmet and went straight back to the lounge.

Only Yasuda was left standing there in a daze, feeling awkward in the wind.

Hongo's personality is still so unapproachable.

"This guy."

Although he is a senior, he is often disrespected by Hongxiang, the junior.

Who can bear it?
Sometimes even Mr. Nitta can’t control Hongo’s personality. What does he do?

When the little fans see Hongo's behavior, they think he is so handsome, but in the eyes of Yasuda and others, Hongo's behavior is undoubtedly a bit pretentious.

The most important thing in baseball is teamwork.

But what about Hongo?

Sorry, he refused to communicate with his teammates.

"Fifth batter, catcher, Yasuda-san."

Fōgiya Xiao looked back at the electronic scoreboard and felt terrible.

The current score is 2:1.

Although they were leading the score now, he felt uncomfortable when Hong Xiang hit a home run.

"Cheer up, this is Koshien!"

Grandpa Jōtani also started to get nervous in the audience.

No one knows Akihiro Jōgō's character better than him.

He is definitely in an uncomfortable state now.

If it affects the next pitch, it will be bad.

"Next time, I will definitely return this home run in the at-bat."

Xiao Jiangu also secretly made up his mind.

Looking at Hongo who was returning to the locker room, he clenched the baseball in his hand tightly.

Fortunately, this time he was not thinking negatively, but was thinking about how to save his face in the next game.

"Fifth batter, catcher, Yasuda-san."

"Okay, now that Hongo has gone back, just relax and throw the next pitch. No one will be your opponent."

Fōgaya Akira nodded, relaxed his body, and threw the first ball facing Yasuda.

"boom!"

Fōtani Akira's pitching is also very threatening. After all, he is also a man who can throw 150 km.

The ball is naturally terrible.

"Snapped!"

Chris lifted his glove high and the baseball went in.

The ball's path was very high, and it began to float upward after entering the strike zone.

This is the catcher of Seidou High School.

If it were an ordinary catcher from another school, it should have been no problem for him to catch Fōgiya Xiao's ball, but facing the sudden upward float, I believe no one would be able to react.

"nice shot!"

Yasuda's swing missed!

A bad ball turns into a good ball!
"This is obviously a bad shot!"

"Don't swing!"

"Watch out for the fight!"

Only then did Yasuda react and turned back suddenly.

This ball actually deviated so much!
Was he stupid to swing at such an obviously bad pitch?
"Next pitch, I can't swing."

Yasuda said to himself.

But how could Chris not know about his little thoughts?
"Now suppress your own strength, focus on ball control, and throw the ball in the direction of the center."

Fūya Akira nodded unhappily. He had just let the ball go, and now he had to control the speed of the ball.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

Even if he controls the speed of the ball, Xiao Jiangu can still control the speed between 140km and 150km.

It is still difficult for ordinary people to hit it.

This kind of person is the epitome of monster.

"nice shot!"

Yasuda didn't swing the bat this time, but what he didn't expect was that the opponent actually threw a straight ball right in the middle.

"What should we do with the next ball?"

Yasuda was also panicked at this time.

He didn't know how Akira Fōtani would shoot the next ball, so there was no point in just gambling.

Should I swing the bat or not?
Chris won't give him that much time.

A quick victory is the best option.

"boom!"

After seeing Chris's signal, Xiao Jōgani also moved away and threw the ball over.

This time, Chris let Akatsuki Fōtani go all out.

There is a basis for this match.

Even if Yasuda wanted to gamble now, he hadn't decided what to bet on. When he saw the sudden baseball, there was no way he wouldn't swing the bat.

If he swung the bat, Chris' plan would succeed.

What he wanted was Yasuda to swing.

Because of this ball, he didn't even expect Akihiro Kotani to be able to shoot in the strike zone!

"Snapped!"

Chris held down the baseball and Yasuda swung and missed!
"Good ball! Batter out!"

Another straight ball that deviates a long distance from the strike zone!
Chris played Yasuda around in circles, that's his ability!
One out and no one on base.

After the seal on Akira Jōgō's ball speed was released, it became difficult for others to catch up.

Even though the players of Troll Daifujimaki are already accustomed to Hongo's fast pitching speed, Kouya Akira's pitching speed is even faster than Hongo's.

Above 150km, a difference of 1km is very obvious!
Even with his strength, Akira Fōgani can increase the ball speed to 150km.

You can imagine what will happen when he starts shooting.

It is definitely an existence that the Troll Da Tengjuan and his group of players cannot beat.

After taking down Yasuda, it became easier and easier for the next batters.

Yasuda, the fifth batter, was their last center batter.

The game continues.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

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

With two consecutive strikeouts, Qingdao High School ended its defense in this inning.

Running slowly back to the lounge, Akihabara Jōgō looked very pleased with himself.

This was the first time he had so many consecutive strikeouts in this game.

"Good shot."

“Although we lost one point, it was still good overall.”

Fōgiya Xiao nodded and went back to the lounge.

Meanwhile, in the lounge of the troll Big Vine, old man Nitta's expression had not yet become particularly serious.

He still had that smiling face, and didn't seem to be panicked by Kouya Akira's performance.

The game isn't over anyway.

"Hahahahahahahaha, it seems the catcher of their team is no simple matter."

Old man Nitta immediately identified the backbone of Qingdao High School.

It's Chris!
Akira Fōgani plays basketball like a madman but has a very simple mind, and Chris is his "brain".
