Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 309: Xianquan and Chengkong

"Qiang!"

"Incredibly, Seidou High School's ace pitcher Sawamura actually threw an extremely tricky inside corner ball, causing Wanggu High School's fourth batter Kasuga to miss the ball and hit it over Sawamura's head!"

"Next, as long as Sawamura catches this ball, Seidou High School can end this game!"

Seeing the baseball on Feizai's head, Sawamura happily held out his glove.

As long as it continues, the game will be over.

During his three innings of defense, he did not allow anyone to reach base, which means there was not a single hit.

A three-game shutout is about to happen.

If only he could catch this baseball!
"Snapped!"

The baseball finally fell into Sawamura's glove very honestly. Sawamura jumped up and showed the little white ball.

"Out! Game over!"

The referee looked at the baseball in Sawamura's glove and announced the final result of the game!

In the end, Qingdao High School defeated Wanggu High School with a score of 5:0, won the game, and became the first high school to enter the semi-finals!

At this point, Qingdao High School’s first spot in the top four was decided.

That is Seidou High School from West Tokyo!
"Ahahahahahaha! I, Sawamura, am invincible after all!"

In this game, although Sawamura only played for three innings, he showed unparalleled performance in these three innings.

He struck out four of the nine batters he faced.

Whether it was the sharpness of the inside corner, the sluggishness of the outside corner ball, or the degree of change of the changing ball and its elusiveness, Wanggu High School had no way to deal with it.

His superb performance definitely deserves the honor of being the ace pitcher of Seidou High School.

But this game was very hard for Zhou Hui.

Except on the defensive end, Zhou Hui made no contribution at all.

For a player like Zhou Hui, if you don't let him hit, he will die.

"It's boring."

In the lounge, Zhou Hui started complaining as he packed his things.

He really had no experience at all in today's game. It would be better to have fewer games like this.

Otherwise, he would not have the chance to stretch his muscles.

"You can't handle this? With your striking ability, I'm afraid there will be many boring matches in the future."

Miyuki said with a smile.

What this means is that in the following games, many teams will continue to try to send Zhou Hui as their forward.

Zhou Hui must also be mentally prepared, as it will be difficult for him to help Qingdao High School in terms of attack in the future.

Zhou Hui's attack cannot help Qingdao High School. This sentence may sound a bit funny at first, but this is the deep meaning.

The students from Qingdao High School did not stop and left the stadium immediately.

Their journey is not over yet, now it is just the end of an insignificant game.

The next two games are what they should focus on the most.

One semi-final and one final!
……

Meiji Jingu Stadium.

After the game of Seidou High School ended, the Meiji Jingu Stadium also fell into a lively atmosphere.

A row of Qingdao High School students sat in the audience seats, attracting countless fans.

Many of them came for Zhou Hui's autograph.

Zhou Hui had no choice but to sign his own signature on their baseballs or his peripheral products one by one.

If he didn't give them autographs, they would have to stay here forever, and Zhou Hui wouldn't be able to focus fully on the game.

Each game now is more important than the last.

Zhou Hui must always keep an eye on the changes in the game.

“And he has to be a big star.”

Cang Kuang sighed with a bit of envy.

Zhou Hui did not choose to pay attention to him, but found a comfortable position and prepared to watch the next game.

...Half an hour later, the match between Chengkong Academy and Xianquan High School officially began.

Players from both sides entered the field one after another. It can be seen that neither Xianquan High School nor Chengkong Academy wanted to lose this game.

Their lineup is the strongest in the team.

This is the greatest respect for each other.

"The main thing Seikon Academy relies on is the initial connection of their first batting captain Masu-san. And the fierce attack of their fourth batting member Nagata-san. These two points are their strongest points."

"As long as Masu-san and Nagata-san can cooperate well, it won't be difficult for Chengkong Academy to score."

Watanabe talked about the characteristics of Chengkong Academy.

Everyone from Qingdao High School nodded, but no one said much.

What they care more about is the ace pitcher of Chengkong Academy.

Although Seongkong Academy and Seonsen High School are both top schools in West Tokyo, judging from static strength alone, Seongkong Academy has a better chance of becoming the next round opponent of Seidou High School than Seonsen High School.

It is always a good idea to get some information about Cheng Kong Academy first.

"As for their ace pitcher, Kojima-san, he is a very tall pitcher, just like Maki-san from Sensen High School, but Maki-san's curveball is something Kojima-san can't learn."

Zhou Hui nodded.

It seems that this ace pitcher of Chengkong Academy is not a capable person.

"Top of the first inning, Chengkong Academy is on offense, first batter, catcher, Masu-san."

Little Shinichiro Masu was the first to step into the batter's box.

With his height, as a catcher, he may need to look up when he goes to the pitcher's mound to communicate with the pitcher.

Among the pitchers at Chengkong Academy, none of them are short.

"Masu-san has good footwork, and more importantly, he has a stable striking and anticipation ability."

"nice shot!"

"Bad ball."

The first four balls were all let go by Shinichiro Masu.

There is one good and three bad ones.

"It seems that Maki-san's opening performance today was not so natural."
