Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 310 Ogawa Tsunematsu
The first at-bat of Nagata, the fourth batter at Sungkong Academy, was a home run that flew out to left field.

2: 0.

Chengkong Academy took the lead.

"It was just a home run to left field..."

Nagata did not show the excitement he should have when he hit this home run.

It's still not satisfied.

The hit to center field tipped the scoreboard. It was the longest home run and had always been Nagata’s dream.

"As expected, it was Nagata and Masu who opened the game."

Zhou Hui said to himself.

Sure enough, Watanabe's analysis is really good.

"Snapped!"

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

On the next pitch, Maki adjusted in time and struck out the next batter of Chengkong Academy.

Lose two points and enter the offense and defense swap.

"That Nagata is really quite capable."

Maki swallowed and walked back to the lounge.

That home run still left a deep shock to him.

In the bottom of the first inning, it was Xianquan High School's turn to attack.

Facing the small island of Chengkong Academy, Xianquan High School also demonstrated its offensive ability that is among the top few in West Tokyo.

Kojima’s playing style is similar to Maki’s, and the players from Sensen High School are also very adept at playing against him.

In three at-bats, they recovered one point.

But it's just this one point.

In the end, they only scored one point in this inning.

2:1, ended the game.

However, this may not be a bad thing for Xianquan High School.

At least they know how to catch up later.

This is a good thing.

"The attack from Xianquan High School is still so fierce that even the island can't suppress them."

Zhou Hui said as he looked at the situation.

During the competition just now, Zhou Hui discovered something funny.

When the catcher Shinichiro Masu of Chengkong Academy went up to discuss tactics with Kojima, one of them held his head high while the other had to bend down to listen.

The height difference between the pitcher and the catcher is unique in Chengkong Academy.

very interesting.

But this was just a small episode in the game.

Unlike basketball, height doesn't have much of an impact in baseball.

It’s just that the scene just now was really funny, which is why Zhou Hui will never forget it.

In the following games, Chengkong Academy seemed to have lost its momentum and failed to make any decent hits, and failed to score any points for two consecutive games.

In contrast, Xianquan High School has awakened.

Consecutive hits helped them score two points and they quickly took the lead.

Although it was only one point per game, it now seems that we were able to overtake, and this score should not be underestimated.

"Bottom of the fourth inning, Xianquan High School is on offense, the ninth batter, the pitcher, is Maki-san."

Faced with the lagging score, Xiaodao, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, also felt uneasy.

"Obviously, Kojima can't suppress them anymore. Let's change players as soon as possible."

Supervisor Oga of Chengkong Academy shook his head.

But even though he shook his head, there was no helplessness on his face. Instead, there was a faint smile.

You can tell from his expression that he still has confidence in his substitute pitcher for Chengkong Academy.

"Change the shot!"

Coach Oga raised his hand and the door of the bullpen opened quickly. Ogawa, with his big belly, ran up to the pitcher's mound step by step.

The fat on his face was wiggling all over the place, and he didn't look like a baseball player at all.

"This... is he really a baseball player? Are you sure he's not a sumo wrestler?!"

Looking at Ogawa walking towards him, Sawamura couldn't help but smile and asked questions.

Watanabe beside him smiled. It must be said that Sawamura's description was quite vivid.

But this guy Ogawa’s strength cannot be judged by his body shape.

"Don't worry about Maki's striking ability, but the players behind them are more difficult to deal with one by one. You..."

Shinichiro Masu was still talking, but Ogawa seemed not to be listening. He squinted his eyes and seemed to be about to fall asleep.

Shinichiro Masu punched Ogawa in the stomach.

"Are you listening or not?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Feeling the feeling coming from his stomach, Ogawa muttered to himself.

For a man of his size, Shinichiro Masu's small fist might really be like a tickle.

Shinichiro Masu had no choice but to run back to the catcher's box.

"kick off!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Ogawa's expression changed immediately, his eyes became firm, and he looked extremely serious.

The him just now and the him now are completely two different people.

Just like Sawamura.

He is crazy off the mound, but once on the mound, he is the most serious pitcher.

Xiaochuan is No. 11 in Chengkong Academy and is in the same grade as Zhou Hui and others.

Compared to Sawamura who became the ace pitcher in this grade, it is not difficult to see how terrifying the pitching group of Chengkong Academy is.

"Whoosh!"

It is not difficult to see that Ogawa's pitching is very powerful.

And while pitching, Ogawa was still muttering something.

But the pitcher's mound was too far away from the audience stands, and Zhou Hui and others couldn't hear clearly at all.

Or maybe it was just the shape of his mouth, and Ogawa didn't actually say anything.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball."

This ball was powerful, but it was not within the strike zone, so the referee called it a ball.

In the audience, everyone from Qingdao High School was also stunned.

They saw the power of the ball just now.

Most people simply can’t vote.

Even though this guy named Ogawa's number is relatively far back, it is not difficult to see from this one pitch alone that his strength may be stronger than that of the ace pitcher Kojima.

He may look silly on the surface, but in fact, he is a pitcher that no one dares to underestimate.

For the next ball, Shinichiro Masu used a completely different gesture.

"It's time to change the ball."

Zhou Hui smiled slightly.

Now he has the ability to see through his opponent's ball type.

"Whoosh!"

Ogawa swung the ball hard.

This ball not only has great power, but also has a high rotation speed.

After the ball entered the strike zone in the inner corner, it suddenly spun downward.

"It's a screwball!"

Even though it was so far away, Zhou Hui could still tell what kind of ball it was at a glance.

It was a spiral ball with great power. Not everyone can throw this ball.

Ogawa is definitely not a person who can be underestimated!
I didn't expect that such a huge body contains such great energy. It turns out that every fat person is a potential stock.

"Qiang!"

Although he hit the ball, Maki still looked a bit awkward in terms of posture.

The second baseman behind caught the baseball and shook it gently, and the baseball flew lightly to first base.

A very soft pass.

"Out!"

Although it was just one out, Zhou Hui in the audience had already narrowed his eyes.

It seems that the real ace pitcher of Chengkong Academy might be this Ogawa!
