Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 41 Laser Arm

No one out, second base occupied.

Sawamura continued to make low-level mistakes, giving Kuroshikan a chance to turn the tables.

Sawamura, standing on the pitcher's mound, was also confused, not knowing what to do next.

Although the team is leading by a large margin, the lead is not something that can be wasted.

If they keep on shouting, Qingdao High School will have to give an explanation for losing the game.

If word gets out that Seidou High School lost to Kuroshikan, isn't this a joke?
If this news really gets out, then the criticism will be directed directly at Sawamura.

Sawamura's young mind will suffer an unprecedented blow.

The game had reached this point, and Chris couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he turned around and asked the referee for a timeout.

If you don't pause at this time, you will almost give up the victory.

"Finally a timeout was called."

Seeing Chris calling for a timeout, Zhou Hui finally felt relieved.

In fact, it was not too early to call a timeout when Sawamura threw four balls, but Chris insisted on waiting until the runners entered the scoring circle before calling the timeout.

Originally Zhou Hui thought that Chris would not call a timeout.

"Master Chris."

Seeing Chris walk up to the pitcher's mound, Sawamura became even more nervous.

He looked out of sorts just now, and after seeing Chris, he acted like he had lost his soul.

This won't work. It doesn't look like a pitcher at all.

"What? Are you scared?"

"what?"

This was completely different from what Sawamura thought. He couldn't even imagine that Chris came with a smile on his face.

This made Sawamura stunned for a moment while standing on the pitcher's mound.

He thought that Chris would scold him when he came up, or make fun of him with a stern face or something like that.

But Chris came up and joked with him humorously, which made Sawamura a little uncomfortable.

"Ah? Master, shouldn't you scold me?"

Chris rolled his eyes, feeling a little amused.

Who wants to be scolded? What kind of mentality is this?

Chris isn’t the type of catcher who yells and screams.

At least in the game, he is such a person.

The pitcher's condition has ups and downs, and you can never wake him up by just scolding him.

Going up to him and yelling at him would probably cause his condition to deteriorate further and would not have any good effect.

Chris is a very experienced pitcher and naturally knows this.

Not just for Sawamura, but for any pitcher, going to the pitcher's mound is a comfort, not a complaint.

He is only a little strict when he is off the court.

"How could you say such a thing?"

Chris said helplessly.

"Now there's nobody out, there's a runner on second base, and the opponent has already entered the scoring circle. If you don't want everyone's efforts to go to waste, get back on track quickly."

"But……"

It seemed like there was always a hurdle in Sawamura's heart, and it was particularly obvious in this game.

"There's nothing to worry about. Just throw the ball to them. These are your partners who will fight side by side with you. Just trust them."

Chris said to Sawamura with a smile.

After saying that, Chris ran back to home plate and turned back to smile at Sawamura.

"Young man, isn't it your best skill to dispel doubts?"

"Sawamura, let him call!"

Zhou Hui shouted first.

They are all freshmen, and now Zhou Hui treats Sawamura as a brother!

There is no longer any relationship of rivalry. Zhou Hui now treats him like his own brother.

Zhou Hui's actions made Sawamura feel warm in his heart.

Competitive sports are not just about cold statistics and the selfish desire for a higher position.

There is more warmth from the world.

"Okay, then it's up to you, Xiao Huihui, I'll make them hit all the balls!" Sawamura pointed at Zhou Hui with his glove.

Zhou Hui also patted his chest.

"No problem, come here."

The communication between the two made people seem to see hope for the future of Qingdao High School.

With Zhou Hui's ability, he could enter the first team in his freshman year in any high school, and even have a chance to secure a starting position.

It is absolutely no exaggeration to say that he is the future of Seidou High School.

Although Sawamura is not as good as Zhou Hui, he is definitely a capable player as coach Kataoka values ​​him so much.

Even if he doesn't make it into the first team this year, I believe Sawamura will be on the first team roster this fall.

"That's the right thing to do. Just go for a four-stitch inside corner!"

Sawamura nodded, and then started pitching like drawing a bow and arrow.

The raised leg almost touches the forehead. This pitching posture is a breath of fresh air no matter where it is placed.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, he immediately used his broad shoulders to block his left hand, making it difficult for the batter to see where he was hitting the ball.

This is the most distinctive feature of Sawamura.

Afterwards, Sawamura seemed to deliberately slow down and slowly pulled his arm to pass the ball.

"Whoosh!"

"What are you doing?"

The moment the batter saw the baseball being thrown, his expression changed completely.

He had never seen such a strange pitching posture.

"Qiang!"

"So heavy?"

The batter couldn't believe the strong recoil and just pulled the ball out.

There is no other way. The person has already been hit. If we don’t pull him out, what else can we do?
Can you get the bat back?
Even TV wouldn't dare to show this kind of plot!
"First baseman!"

Seeing where the baseball rolled out, Sawamura immediately looked back.

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Zhou Hui attacked quickly, and after receiving the baseball, he stepped on the first base before the batter.

"Out!"

The referee gave me the first judgment.

"It's not over yet!"

Seeing the batter running towards third base, Zhou Hui did not tolerate him at all.

Using this momentum, he swung the baseball and threw it towards third base.

When the runner was about to reach third base, a white light flashed by, accompanied by a breeze.

"what's the situation?"

"Snapped!"

Before the runner could react, the third baseman had already caught the baseball and was waiting for the runner to hit him.

At this point the runner was already in a sliding position, and it was too late for him to get up.

"Out!"

There is no doubt that he failed to get on base!

Zhou Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead and made a "yeah" gesture.

This double kill is a reflection of Zhou Hui's ability.

If this ball really allowed him to reach third base, then with one out and someone on third base, Seidou High School would be in a very passive position.

Fortunately, Zhou Hui has an excellent "laser arm" which solved this problem.

With two outs and no one on base.

The situation at Qingdao High School is very good.

Sawamura couldn't help but start praising Zhou Hui.

If it wasn't for him and the situation turned out like that, his pressure would have increased further.

"This kid really has something."
