Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 273 A good start
Under the leadership of Zhou Hui, Qingdao High School's offensive rhythm has always been very good.

Although there was no score in the next few rounds, it must be said that the visual feast given to the audience was invincible.

The flow of the offense far exceeded that of a normal high school game.

Although there were no runs scored, someone was able to hit a hit in every inning.

The number of people coming up to attack from Qingdao High School has never been less than that of anyone.

This is the best reflection of their offensive fluency.

It was also because of this that Mukai's physical strength was exhausted. In the eighth inning, coach Okamoto even chose to change pitchers.

Although the decision to change the vote is wise, it is also helpless.

Replacing the ace pitcher also proved that Didong High School had surrendered.

Director Okamoto is different from Director Kataoka.

Coach Okamoto is the kind of coach who implements the concept of an ace pitcher to the end and does not replace an ace pitcher easily.

He will not use the follow-up shot tactic unless it is absolutely necessary.

The so-called last resort was the match between Koshien and the giant troll Daitojuan.

Mukai was substituted in only when the ace pitcher was beaten to a pulp.

From the perspective of coach Okamoto, Mukai was already badly beaten in the eighth inning.

It was fine at the beginning.

He was also able to get two outs in a row.

But later, Hikasa and Tojo hit two consecutive hits.

Coach Okamoto changed the pitcher only when he had no choice.

It seems that their autumn journey is coming to an end.

All of this is Coach Okamoto’s recollection of the game.

This game is almost over and the two teams are no longer evenly matched.

Now is the time for Seidou High School to end the game.

Top of the ninth inning.

Two outs, no one on base.

"The fourth batter, the catcher, Inui-san."

Qian Xiangang came up as the last batter of Didong High School. At this moment, he also felt a little helpless.

The big score of 5:1 made it difficult for him to move forward.

The failure of the game seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

As the captain, he was reluctant to admit the defeat, but he had no choice.

Who made the opponent have a monster like Zhou Hui?

Zhou Hui hit two home runs and three RBIs in this game.

This is second to none no matter what type of baseball game you look at.

He could never have imagined that Teito High School, the overlord of East Tokyo, would become the backdrop for Qingdao High School and Zhou Hui's crazy performance in this game.

It won't be long before he participates in the professional draft. Coupled with this performance, his draft ranking is likely to plummet.

This was his first game as captain leading Teito High School.

The first game of autumn is the last game.

As for the new captain, he is definitely not satisfied and is also questioning his ability to lead the team.

In fact, the loss of this game was not caused by anyone in Didong High School.

They have all done their best.

Especially Mukai.

Before being substituted, his ball control was still as sharp as ever, but he was left the game because he was hit too many times.

His ball control wasn't much different from the first game.

It’s just because Qingdao High School is too strong!
This situation is caused by the strong strength and excellent striking ability of Qingdao High School.

The most important thing is Zhou Hui!

If Qingdao High School didn't have Zhou Hui, they wouldn't necessarily win, but at least the game would not be without suspense until now.

I can only blame it on bad luck and Takashima Rei's sweet talk.

Facing Shangqian Xiangang, Jiang Gu Xiao was not at all panicked.

As long as he can hit the ball at full speed, not many people can be his match.

"boom!"

When Akira Fōgani threw the first pitch, the baseball spun and kicked up clouds of sand. Standing next to the baseball, one could even feel a whirlwind.

"Swish!" Qian Xiangang's swinging posture was also extremely powerful. With one swing of the bat, the air around the batting zone was sucked out.

Although Yuki, who was squatting in the catcher's area, did not feel short of oxygen, he actually saw the formation of a small tornado.

The power of this swing should not be underestimated.

"Snapped!"

Although Qian Xiangang's swing missed, the momentum and power of the swing shocked Yuki.

It is quite remarkable for a high school student to swing the bat like this.

To be honest, if you judge Qian Xiangang's batting ability based solely on his swing, he is definitely the strongest hitter in this session.

The natural strength, coupled with the acquired self-discipline, has made Qian Xiangang what he is today.

It’s just that Akihabara Jōgō’s talent is even more terrifying.

A ball speed of 152km is indeed rare among high school students.

At least the current opponent of Qingdao High School is only the giant troll Otomaki's Hongo who has such strength.

“Two more good shots left.”

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiangu raised his left leg again.

With his left leg raised high and his right hand tightly grasping the baseball, all his strength was gathered here and the little white ball was thrown out.

"boom!"

Another powerful force.

"So fast!"

"too fast!"

"This speed!"

No matter how many times we watch it, everyone is still amazed at Akira Fōgani's pitching speed.

No matter how you look at it, you may never get used to it.

"Snapped!"

Qian Xiangang tensed his muscles and swung the bat again, but this time the ball was only faster, not slower. After the baseball entered the glove, a crisp sound was heard.

"nice shot!"

Two strikes.

Victory is just around the corner.

But Qian Xiangang did not surrender. He still held the bat and looked at Xiao Jiangu on the pitcher's mound in front of him.

He won't admit defeat until the game is over.

Although no one would say anything if he didn't swing at the next pitch, his first instinct told him that he shouldn't do that.

Even if it was a strikeout, it couldn't be such a regrettable ending.

So no matter what the next ball is, he has to swing!
This is the ultimatum he gave himself!

"boom!"

Xiao Fōgaya didn't let him wait too long, and the last ball came quietly.

The ball speed is still explosive.

Although Didong High School had practiced with such a fast ball speed many times before, they couldn't say that they were used to it.

Unless you watch it every day, you can never say that you have developed a habit of it.

Once the baseball enters the strike zone, it begins to drop sharply.

But at this time, Qian Xiangang also swung the bat, and the amplitude was so large that there was no room for adjustment.

"Snapped!"

Miyuki grabbed the baseball and prevented it from sliding further.

Qian Xiangang would never have thought that at this moment, Jiang Gu Xiao threw a quick fork ball!

It's really hard to believe.

And with Qian Xiangang's swing of the bat this time, this inning of the game was coming to an end.

Fōgiya Akatsuki's eyes were shining, and he was obviously ready to celebrate me.

"Strike! Batter out! Game over!"

"Great!"

"Won!"
