Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 315 Potential Stock

Zhou Hui pointed to the sky with one hand, ran back to home base in his most iconic posture, and scored by stepping on home plate.

1: 0.

It was still a familiar taste. Qingdao High School scored the first point with Zhou Hui's home run.

This seems to have become Qingdao High School's basic tactic.

On several occasions, the first, second and third batters of Qingdao High School did not perform well. No runs were scored in the first inning. After three ups and three downs, they scored in the second inning thanks to Zhou Hui's home run.

This seemingly impossible tactic has become Qingdao High School's habitual tactic.

Zhou Hui has this ability.

……

But in this inning, apart from Zhou Hui, no one else could hit a hit.

It was solved by Chengkong Academy.

But these are all normal things.

Anyone who has watched Seidou High School's games knows that Seidou High School usually exerts its strength in the later stages.

Although they were in a mess in the early stage, in the later stage, they were not a big deal even if there were ten more people on the opposite side.

The reason why Seidou High School can become a famous batting team in western Tokyo is definitely because of their understanding of the opposing pitchers.

So in the first round, Qingdao High School was cannon fodder, but in the subsequent blows, they were like a different person.

It is clear.

This has been the case in Seidou High School's recent games.

Suppressing Qingdao High School in the early stage is not a skill. Do you have the ability to prevent them from scoring any points after the fifth game?
There are not many places in Tokyo that can do this.

"Bottom of the second inning, Chengkong Academy is on offense, fourth batter, first baseman, Nagata-san."

As Nagata walked into the batter's box, Ogawa followed closely behind and crouched at his position.

Ogawa is the fifth batter of Chengkong Academy. It seems that he is quite good at batting.

But I don’t know whether these two tricks will work on Xiao Jiangu.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Facing the first pitch, Nagata swung.

But unfortunately, the swing rhythm was too slow and he failed to catch the ball.

Nagata's striking has always been top-notch.

Since junior high school, his dream has always been to hit the ball to the scoreboard farthest from home base.

It's not just him, this is also the dream of many hitters. Hitting the ball to that position is also a step to becoming the strongest hitter.

Nagata's swing was extremely violent. The moment he swung the bat, the sand and dust around the home plate were all blown up.

Some of them even entered Yuki's eyes.

The swing is big and powerful.

This is already a standard feature for a strong hitter.

"So strong, so fast."

Aiming at Miyuki's gloves, Fōgaya Akira continued to pass the ball.

"boom!"

The white ball rushed out and rose sharply after entering the strike zone.

This will make many batters stunned, resulting in missing the hit.

This is all extremely normal.

That's how Akira Fōtani pitches.

"Ah."

Changtian sneered, looked at the white ball that was rising suddenly, swung his arm and hit it.

Obviously, he was not so afraid of this ball.

"Qiang!"

Although the ball felt heavy to Nagata, Nagata's strength clearly prevailed, and he forcibly pulled out the 151km straight ball. Although 151km is not the limit of Fūya Akira, it is already a very high level in the field of high school baseball.

He was able to pitch at such a fast speed in high school. I believe that after Akira Fōtani enters the professional league, he will become a hot commodity, and perhaps his pitching speed will increase further.

160km, maybe it is not impossible for Xiao Fōgiya.

The baseball was driven out by Nagata's power. Nagata grinned and looked at the flying baseball with a happy face.

If this ball flies straight out, it will be the longest home run!

But unfortunately, after flying for a while, the baseball fell down, still one step away from the home run.

Nagata felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He just fanned himself with his hand and then immediately ran to second base.

Looking at Nagata's back and the action just now, Zhou Hui was completely dumbfounded.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Unexpectedly, this guy is so cruel that he even slaps himself when he fails to hit a home run.

I am really strict with myself.

No one out, second base occupied.

As soon as this round began, Chengkong Academy gave Xiao Fōgiya a warning.

Their fourth batter, Nagata, used a long double to center field to tell Akihiro Fūya that there were people in Chengkong Academy who could do nothing to him.

Jōgō Aki was stunned and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He never thought that Nagata could grab the center of his ball and carry it so far.

As expected of him being the fourth baton of Sungkong Academy, he is really scary.

Never underestimate a heart that wants to become stronger!
"Fifth batter, pitcher, Ogawa-san."

Big-bellied Ogawa followed him into the batter's box.

Compared with Kouya Akira, his pitching speed is a little slower, but in other aspects, he crushes Kouya Akira.

Only this time, he was the hitter.

Even if his pitching is superior to that of Akira Fōgaya, when he is in the batter's box, he still uses his weaknesses to fight against the opponent's strengths.

This is undoubtedly an act of an egg hitting a stone.

"Hey."

Ogawa muttered something and saw that Fōgaya Akira on the pitcher's mound had already made a move.

"boom!"

Like the roar of a car engine, the baseball seemed to break in Kouya Akira's hands. Kouya Akira gathered his strength and threw the white ball out suddenly.

It was the first time that Ogawa had seen a baseball with such a pitch speed, and he was even a little envious at first sight.

There is no pitcher who doesn't care about his pitch speed.

"Qiang!"

"Out of bounds."

Ogawa caught the rhythm of the ball the first time, and although he swung the ball out of bounds, his strength was still pretty good in Chengkong Academy.

You have to know that when facing Fōgaya Akira's pitching, Nagata couldn't grasp the rhythm at the beginning, which resulted in a swing that missed.

Now it seems that Ogawa is the most powerful one in Chengkong Academy.

Suddenly I felt that whether he lost weight or not was not important.

"Don't let this one ball slow you down. Try a quick fork ball. None of them have seen this ball before."

Kougu Aki felt that this made sense, so he pinched the baseball between two fingers and threw it.

"boom!"

The baseball flies very fast and has a small drop as it enters home plate.

"Qiang!"

But who knew that this ball was caught by Ogawa!

The baseball hit the third base where Higasa was guarding and landed in left field!
The first time facing Fōgaya Akira's fast fork ball, Ogawa was able to hit a hit!
Not to mention Fōtani Akatsuki, even the supporting player Miyuki couldn't believe it.

Zhou Hui, standing on first base, looked at Ogawa next to him. For some reason, he had a new perspective on Ogawa's abilities.
