Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 37: Three-Four Connection

"Snapped!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"Next! Next!"

Zaizen on the pitcher's mound was completely "killing crazy" and his expression gradually became abnormal.

This was his second strikeout.

Qingdao High School is no better than this!
Before the game started, no one thought that it would be Zaizen who would dominate the pitcher's mound.

"Good shot, Zaizen!"

"Just go on like this!"

"Strike them all out!"

“It’s so relaxing.”

Zaizen's consecutive strikeouts made the Kuroshikan start celebrating wildly.

Some fielders even lay on the ground to provoke Qingdao High School.

This approach is undoubtedly challenging the bottom line of Qingdao High School step by step, and at the same time it is also provoking the bottom line of their own checkpoint supervisor.

"Xiao Wang, stand up! Otherwise, you will have to run ten laps for me when you go back today!"

Coach Sekiguchi pointed at the player lying on the ground and shouted.

In their opinion, this provocative behavior is very proud, but from a supervisory perspective, this impolite behavior really brings shame to their Black Shiguan.

Coach Sekiguchi was also very embarrassed and quickly took off his hat to apologize to Coach Kataoka in the Qingdao High School lounge.

At this point, Director Kataoka had lost all his face.

When has Qingdao High School ever suffered such a big provocation?

Although the enrollment strength in recent years has been very poor, the opponents' blatant provocation has left little room for the dignity of this wealthy team.

No matter how bad Seidou High School is, it is still a team that can be ranked among the top four in the regional tournament.

If West Tokyo was not a fierce battle zone, they would have entered Koshien countless times with their current strength.

But there's nothing we can do, they're in West Tokyo!
In West Tokyo, this fact must be acknowledged and accepted.

There is more than one strong team in West Tokyo.

Even Daocheng Industry cannot guarantee that it can enter Koshien 100% every year.

But history is there, their enrollment power will be much greater, and their confidence will be much greater.

That's it.

Third batter, catcher, Chris!

"Senior Chris!"

"Ok?"

Chris turned around and saw Zhou Hui following him with a baseball bat.

"After I get on base, I'll definitely send you back."

Zhou Hui smiled and gave Chris a thumbs up.

Chris smiled with relief.

"That would be troublesome for you."

"finally come!"

Seeing Chris step into the batter's box, Zaizen's expression became even more excited.

Chris, I've finally waited for this moment!
Zaizen VS Chris!
A showdown between the best teammates from junior high school!

The Marugame Youth Baseball Team led by the two in junior high school did cause quite a stir in the Tokyo area.

The cooperation between the two is seamless.

It was just that they went their separate ways after high school, which made them become enemies.

"Chris, just wait for me to strike you out! Hahahahahahahaha!"

Zaizen laughed on the pitcher's mound, his eyes gradually became sharp, he raised his long legs and threw the ball out without waiting for the catcher's signal.

"Whoosh!"

The ball was moving as fast as lightning, making it difficult to see clearly.

I have to say that Zaizen has grown a lot since graduating from junior high school.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Inside corner straight ball!

Chris's face remained calm, and he was not intimidated by the show of power from his old teammate.

This preemptive tactic is useless to Chris!

"You've gotten much stronger since graduation, and your ball speed has reached 140km."

Chris talked to Zaizen calmly.

It was as if I had been brought back to junior high school.

Chris's current attitude made Zaizen think that the two of them were not opponents, but teammates fighting side by side. Zaizen was even in a trance for a moment.

But he immediately shook his head, and the fond memories of his junior high school days vanished.

"Chris, we are rivals now, no one will talk to you about the past!"

As he spoke, the white ball was once again pushed out from between Zaizen's two fingers.

"Whoosh!"

A beam of white light came, and the catcher, with his glove on, waited for the moment when the baseball would hit him.

"The ball path is still so straight. You should still rely on your ball power and changeup to make a living, right?"

"Qiang!"

Chris swings the bat handsomely!

The baseball flew up, broke through layers of obstacles, and flew towards left field.

"Left field, run faster!"

The catcher quickly took off his mask and looked toward left field, following the direction the baseball was flying.

"This goal is impossible!"

The left fielder looked at the baseball moving further and further away from him, and his legs lost all strength as he ran.

There is absolutely no desire to catch up.

Land!

A hit to left field!
Chris easily ran to second base.

Double hit!

Two outs, man on second base!
"well played!"

"So handsome!"

"That's a good swing!"

"Someone's on base!"

The Qingdao High School lounge also woke up from their immersion, and the students were celebrating by high-fiving, as if they had won the game.

Even though it was just a practice game and the opponent wasn't that strong, the excitement of seeing the team hit a hit was impossible to suppress.

Fourth batter, first baseman, Zhou Hui!
A rising star of Qingdao High School!

"Why haven't I seen him before?"

The catcher of Heishi Hall took a look at Zhou Hui and felt unfamiliar.

But after thinking about it, the catcher decided not to take it seriously.

Seidou High School belongs to the West Tokyo division, while Kuroshikan belongs to the East Tokyo division.

Except for the spring and autumn competitions, the two teams have no chance to play against each other.

It is normal for him to be unfamiliar with the lineup of Seidou High School.

Because many times, before Kuroshikan met Seidou High School, they had already been eliminated.

Facing this strange boy, the catcher was not careless at all and chose to attack with a corner kick as the first ball.

Even if Zhou Hui hit the ball, it would just be a ground ball that was very close to the ground and could not be picked up at all.

The catcher's little thoughts were seen through at once.

"Whoosh!"

Zaizen grabbed the baseball with two fingers and then threw the ball with all his strength.

After Zhou Hui saw the baseball, he quickly locked onto it with his super dynamic vision.

Low outside corner, strike zone, can swing!
"Qiang!"

After confirmation, Zhou Hui swung the bat without any hesitation or delay.

This time he took a horizontal swing.

I still took Chris's suggestion.

Zhou Hui practiced this style of play madly yesterday, just to be able to use it in official competitions, and he also practiced it for Chris to see.

A hit in front of center field.

This is not Zhou Hui's normal level.

But this distance is still enough for Chris to return to home base.

The road was smooth and Chris returned to home plate to score.

Seidou High School 1:0 Kuroshikan High School.

Be the first!

The connection between the third and fourth batters was also truly spectacular.

Rather than calling it a connection, it is more like a transition between the old and the new at Qingdao High School.
