Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 292: Adversity Forges a Strong Person

5: 4.

The score gap was suddenly narrowed.

The batting line of Ukumori High School, coupled with the atmosphere on the scene, created their momentum to catch up.

The new ace Sawamura stared blankly at the situation on the court.

Now, he still feels a little uneasy when he gets a hit.

He is the team's ace pitcher and wears the number 1 on his back.

This is his responsibility.

But now, he lost four points, making all the efforts of other players go to waste.

This is not something an ace pitcher should do.

"Fourth batter, pitcher, Umemiya-san."

No one out, second base occupied.

In this fatal situation, it was the fourth batter's turn for Ukusumori High School.

Umemiya didn't become the team's ace pitcher and fourth batter just because of his gangster-like appearance; he definitely had the ability to do so.

In this situation, the third batter can get a two-run hit from Sawamura, let alone the fourth batter who is the main player.

An ace pitcher plus a fourth batter, this is the wish of many pitchers.

Many teams don't have this situation.

Especially for strong teams, it is even more difficult to appear.

After high school, you can choose to participate in the draft. High school and professional life are very connected.

There are many cases in the professional leagues where pitchers are not the fourth batter because they spend most of their time specializing in one area.

This situation is unlikely to happen.

This situation will naturally occur when players from some strong teams want to get their ace pitchers in line with the team.

A team like Ukumori High School obviously doesn't have to worry so much.

They are not a systemic team.

"pause."

Coach Kataoka signaled to Miyuki to call a timeout.

At this time, the phone in the lounge was also being used by Minister Ota.

Sawamura naturally saw this scene.

Even though Miyuki tried to block it with his body, Sawamura still saw Minister Ota who was on the phone.

Sawamura immediately realized what was going on and took off his gloves.

"time to go."

Having said that, Sawamura was about to walk off the court.

"Did you change your vote?"

Umemiya smacked his lips.

"Pitcher, what are you going to do?"

Seeing this scene, the referee immediately asked.

Sawamura had a confused look on his face, with a silly expression on his face, which suited him very well, and he stopped on the court.

"Isn't it a replacement?"

"We haven't received any notification of substitutions yet. Please return to the mound."

Just when Sawamura didn't know what was happening, a blond hedgehog-head ran into the lounge of Qingdao High School.

That person was none other than Jin Wan.

"Kinwan?"

Right from the start, Jin Wan looked unhappy.

"Coach Kataoka said that he won't replace you until the end of this inning. He also said that if you continue to lose points, you won't be allowed to play in the next game."

After saying that, Jin Wan left without looking back.

"Ah?"

"Since Director Kataoka has said so, there is no reason for you to give up. You don't want to see that guy Furuya hanging over your head, do you?"

"Of course."

"Then come on, win this game. Let's put an end to the loss of points in this round."

After saying that, Miyuki ran back to the catcher's box.

And Sawamura on the pitcher's mound now looks like a completely different person than he did just now.

The confidence on your face should not be too obvious.

"Try it with all your strength, a high straight ball from the inside corner."

The game reached the sixth inning, so there was no need to save energy. In this situation, according to Kataoka's tactics, it would not be a new thing to change players later.

It would be better to just use all your strength.

Even if he conceded hits one after another and the score was tied or even surpassed, Sawamura had no regrets.

He raised his knee close to his head, used his broad right shoulder to block the baseball, and concentrated all the pressure of his body on the forefoot, and the baseball was thrown out.

Speed: 140km+!

Angle: High inside angle!
Type of ball: Straight ball!
Umemiya figured it out immediately.

I just don't know why this kid's ball speed can increase by as much as 10km in an instant.

It was obvious that he had used all his strength in his previous pitch, so where did this sudden burst of strength come from?
Umemiya didn't understand, but looking at the approaching baseball, he still swung the bat in his hand.

"Qiang!"

"Foul ball!"

Umemiya was still able to catch the ball at a speed of 140km/h.

Although his ball speed is only around 100km/h, it doesn't mean he can't catch a ball speed of 140km/h.

"Why do I feel oppressed? It's totally different from the feeling just now."

Sawamura's momentum was different, and his pitching began to have an impact.

This is not the momentum that Sawamura had just now.

"This kid's inner corner is so sharp that even I can't help but groan. What do you want to use to crush him?"

Zhou Hui's mouth curled up into a curve as he looked at Sawamura in front of him, his eyes full of longing for the future.

"Then next is a low straight ball to the outside corner."

He nodded slightly, the same pitching posture, but this time the position of the baseball was different.

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

The white ball flew away like a laser beam, and Umemiya, who was standing in the batter's box, was like petrified, not moving at all, until the baseball hit Miyuki's glove, he realized what had just happened.

"nice shot!"

Without swinging the bat, Sawamura earned a strike for nothing!

Umemiya suddenly looked at the speedometer, staring at the numbers in disbelief.

141km!

"impossible!"

Umemiya yelled, not knowing what was going on.

141km, this number looks so fake.

When he was watching the ball in the batter's box, it was clearly slow; the ball couldn't possibly be that fast.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have missed swinging at the ball.

"This is what's so peculiar about Sawamura."

Yuki smiled slightly and then passed the ball back.

"Last ball, inside corner carter."
