Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 277 Director, the script is wrong!

Azan looked at Zhou Hui on the court and began to re-judge the player.

Now Zhou Hui is not only an excellent hitter, but he has also discovered the genes of a pitcher.

Good at both pitching and hitting may be a better word to describe Zhou Hui.

Having played baseball with such a person, Azan instantly felt a sense of pride.

But now, he felt more fear than pride.

This guy will be his next opponent.

How can I not be afraid?

And his strongest point is in batting, not pitching, right?

When in Hokkaido, if he hadn't walked Zhou Hui consecutively, who knows how many home runs he would have hit.

If we make a rough estimate, there must be more than ten.

"Koshigaya, you and that pitcher have some connections, right? You're both from Hokkaido. And from what I know, you went to the same junior high school."

Azan nodded at this but didn't say anything else.

Zhou Hui's fame is growing, and many of his past events in junior high school have been dug up.

I'm afraid that even if Azan doesn't tell his supervisor about these things, the supervisor will know about them.

"But don't worry, Supervisor. My strength is definitely not worse than that guy named Zhou Hui."

After saying that, Azan put on his glove and walked to the pitcher's mound with a confident look on his face.

Seeing Azan’s back, the supervisor of Nanamori High School didn’t know what to say for a moment.

It may be more reasonable to say that it is due to youthful vigor.

But Azan should be very clear about the strength of Seidou High School, the Koshien champion.

Knowing the strength of his opponent clearly, Azan still dared to make such big remarks. It is hard to say whether he really has something to hide.

But the director of Nanamori High School also knows Azan's strength.

No matter how hard we try, it is impossible to suppress Seidou High School's batting line.

Nothing makes sense.

How can he be so confident?
"But it's better this way. Compared to those guys who are timid when facing a strong enemy, Azan, you are really capable!"

As soon as the words fell, the players of Qisen High School all dropped their heads.

It seemed as if these words were meant for these substitute players.

It is difficult for this group of substitutes to stand out, and it is common for them to be criticized by their supervisors.

I can’t say I’m immune to it, but I’ve definitely developed a habit of it.

"Today's opponents are not pushovers. It's hard for me to limit them by myself, so if they hit the ball, it will depend on you."

Azan stood on the pitcher's mound and spoke to the players who gathered around him.

Those people nodded and then ran back to their respective defensive positions.

Both his words and his intentions showed Azan's determination to win.

The same is true.

In this game, the only one who wanted to win was Azan.

It’s not that others don’t want to win, but that they have never thought about winning at all.

The difference in strength is too great.

They are trying hard, and the final result may just be to weaken Qingdao High School by the strong teams behind them.

These good guys really have no power to do what they want.

But Azan really wants to win.

In the summer, they lost to Teito High School in the autumn competition, and in the autumn, they met Seidou High School in the second round.

It was as if they were attached to a magnet of strong teams.

"I feel really lucky to be able to play against so many strong teams."

Thinking of this, Azan also started to get excited.

Having stepped out of his comfort zone, he has become more courageous as he faces more setbacks.

His ambitions were not that big, and he didn't dare to think about making it to Koshien in East Tokyo.

What's more, he is in a school like Nanamori High School.

He has one and only one goal.

That is, there is a chance to beat a Koshien team in the summer tournament or the autumn tournament.

The only possibility of completing it is in the autumn competition.

The places for East Tokyo to enter Koshien have always been monopolized by Teito High School, so the probability of encountering Teito High School is naturally not high.

But the summer competition is a merger of West Tokyo and East Tokyo, so the probability is naturally higher.

"In the bottom of the first inning, Seidou High School is on offense. The first batter is the shortstop, and it's Yamaguchi-san."

Ken Yamaguchi is the first batter of Seidou High School.

He replaced Kuramochi's position.

In the previous orientation games for the second and third grades and the first grade, Ken Yamaguchi served as the fourth batter for the second and third grades.

After seeing the signal from his catcher, Azan also raised his legs.

The "1" on the back is particularly dazzling.

Except for the clothes he was wearing, it was almost exactly the same as when he was in junior high school.

Zhou Hui also seemed to have returned to that summer.

The time he spent playing baseball with Azan also kept replaying in his mind.

But Azan at that time really made him unable to utter any words of praise.

"Whoosh!"

"Azan's movements are becoming more and more standard."

Looking at a straight ball coming towards the high outside corner, Yamaguchi Ken swung the bat very decisively.

"You're overestimating yourself. The ball's path is too obvious!"

Just as Yamaguchi Ken was thinking this, the baseball suddenly slipped.

"Qiang!"

When the shortstop saw the flying baseball, he ran over lightly, picked up the baseball and threw it to the first baseman's position.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

Although Nanamori High School is not very strong, the defensive coordination and continuity of the fielders are still very smooth.

The first out number seemed to be taken without much effort.

Although Seidou High School is the champion of Koshien, their substitutes are still frozen in the period when they were about to be kicked out of the three major giants in West Tokyo.

Vulnerable.

"Second batter, right fielder, Guan."

Guan Zhimichi played in place of Baizhou this time.

Hold the bat and breathe.

Judging from Yamaguchi Ken's batting, this guy named Koshitani doesn't seem to like throwing straight balls.

This is definitely difficult enough for them.

"Whoosh!"

"This ball should be a straight ball, right?"

Seeing the baseball getting closer but not moving, Guan Zhidao took the bat back from his shoulder and hit it.

As luck would have it, baseball changed at this time.

The first baseman is in a perfect position to catch the ball.

"Out!"

Two balls, two outs.

This is a bit unlike the style of Qingdao High School.

"Third batter, catcher, Miyuki-san."

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

There was no one on the fort, and Yukichi's true form was revealed.

The baseball was hit in front of Azan, easily blocking him as he ran the base.

"Out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"

The whole audience was shocked. They didn't expect that the new Koshien champion Seidou High School would be beaten like this by Nanamori High School.

It was beyond many people's expectations.

Yukichi who ran back was in even greater misery.

"Director, this script is wrong, right?"
