Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 85: Home Run?!
"The two teams drew in the second game? It seems that Qingdao's advantage is still not small. Maybe Leishi can play well in the next game. Qingdao High School's lead may not be stable yet."

Fujio analyzed.

That’s right, in the top of the third inning, the second batter to come on the field at Pharmacist High School was Hong Leishi.

In the first inning, Honglei City almost hit a home run.

The thin arms contain a powerful and strange power.

This incident gave Qingdao High School a great shock.

The strength is so strong that no one can match it.

"Next, it will be Lei Shi's turn to bat after the Pharmacist's batting. You all should pay more attention. Especially Fūya, you are the pitcher. If Lei Shi wants to hit a hit, he has to go through you first. Your pitching is crucial."

"Yes, I understand."

Fōgiya Xiao nodded, looking a little nervous.

He still feels a little guilty about stealing third base just now.

If it weren't for his recklessness, Qingdao High School might have been able to add more points.

After everything was arranged, the students from Qingdao High School took to the court one after another.

"Chris."

Director Kataoka called Chris over, as if there was something inappropriate to say to Fūya Akira, and he hadn't said it out loud yet.

"What's wrong, Supervisor?"

Chris asked, taking off his mask.

"When facing Lei Shi, if it really doesn't work, we can actually consider recommending him. As for how to make Furuya accept it, that depends on you."

"I will seriously consider it."

A walk refers to intentionally throwing out four balls to allow the batter to get on base, which poses no threat.

There are very few people who can enjoy the treatment of admission without recommendation.

They are all heavyweights of each team, very well-known in the entire region, the kind that no one dares to mess with.

For example, last year there was another monster of Qingdao High School, the fourth batter, Dongqingguo!

A complete powerhouse.

He came on the court with a beer belly, and just standing there was enough to scare people away, making them lose interest in a head-on confrontation.

So Dong Qingguo was not only the home run king that year, but also the player with the most walks.

But even so, Seidou High School did not enter Koshien.

This can be said to be a regret for the Eastern Qing Kingdom.

It is worth mentioning that today Dong Qingguo was sitting in the audience, watching this scene.

Not only today, if Qingdao High School makes it to the finals, he will also come to watch the game.

He wanted to see his junior brothers who once fought alongside him have the opportunity to enter the field he had never set foot on.

When he saw that Qingdao High School was now leading Yakushi High School by a large margin, he couldn't hide his smile and it remained on his face.

"Top of the third inning, Yakushi High School is on offense, the ninth batter, the left fielder, is Moriyama-san."

Makoto Moriyama is the ninth batter of Yakushi High School, and also the least respected batter.

After he came on the court, Hong Lei Zang was still arranging how Hong Lei Shi would play and what kind of performance would be considered qualified.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

Akihiro Kotani's pitching speed and power are both top-notch among high school students. His earth-shattering shots stunned everyone.

Hong Lei Zang, who was still arranging tactics for Hong Lei City, was also shocked.

He had seen this kind of ball before.

As for why he was shocked, it was because he had only seen this kind of ball in professional baseball and had never seen it in high school.

"Bad ball."

Makoto Moriyama still held back.

Fōtani Akira's pitch was beyond his ability and he couldn't hit it at all.

"Another bad shot that was too high."

Hong Lei Zang muttered to himself while looking at Fōgiya Xiao's ball.

Starting from the game against Missimon High School, Akira Fōgaya only knew how to throw one type of ball.

That's a straight ball that's high.

Other than that, no one had ever seen any other pitches from him, not even a breaking ball.

Hong Leizang also felt that this guy couldn't shoot other kinds of balls.

So he told Moriyama Makoto to leave Fōgaya Akatsuki to someone else. If he could get on base, he could do so. If he couldn't get on base and was struck out, it didn't matter.

Others' good shots depend on their touch, while Kouya Akira's good shots depend on luck. "Bad shot."

"That's three bad balls."

Chris was also a little worried.

Why isn't Makoto Moriyama swinging the bat yet?

This was Xiao Jiangu's first thought.

If the opponent doesn't swing the bat, his efficiency will be much lower.

In this game, coach Kataoka also decided to let Akira Furiya pitch three innings before coming off the bench.

But unexpectedly, Yakushi High School did not follow the ideas of Director Kataoka at all.

"boom!"

"Don't swing, don't swing, don't swing."

Makoto Moriyama closed his eyes, no longer daring to watch this scene.

"Snapped!"

"Ball! Ball! Walk!"

"so close."

After running, Makoto Moriyama's legs couldn't help but tremble.

This torture is finally over.

Makoto Moriyama was walked to first base, and now they had a runner on first base.

No one out, first base occupied.

"First batter, third baseman, Hong."

The worst thing was that it was the turn of the "little madman" Hong Leishi to be beaten with a stick.

Pharmacist High School’s second chance to score is coming soon.

"How about it? What's your choice, Chris? Do you want to be admitted as a free agent?"

In terms of basketball IQ, Chris is definitely the leader of Qingdao High School.

Many times, Director Kataoka feels inferior to him.

So he always believed in Chris's choice.

Whether Chris chooses to walk the ball or not, Coach Kataoka will support it.

"Let's fight head-on! Furuya!"

Chris patted his gloves and chose to confront Honglei City head-on.

He just wanted to see how big the gap was between Fōgō Aki and this monster hitter.

Although there is a monster hitter in the team's left field, Chris has rarely seen the two of them face off.

Therefore, it is still unclear what level of strength Akatsuki Fōgaya has reached.

Whether I can stand on my own or not, these are all unknowns.

"bring it on!"

"boom!"

Fōgaya Aki did not waste any time and threw the ball.

The baseball still looks so destructive, it doesn't look like it was thrown by a high school student at all.

"Ahahahahahahaha! This is so interesting! This is so interesting!"

Seeing such a fast ball speed, Honglei City’s first reaction was not fear, but rather interest.

He felt it was really fun to be able to play against such a strong pitcher.

"I'm coming."

Honglei City locked onto this high straight ball, swung the bat, and hit it hard.

"Qiang!"

With a loud bang, the baseball flew up, and then flew out like a meteor, hitting the scoreboard without any deceleration.

Even Isajiki Jun was helpless and could only watch the baseball fly away.

"Ben... Home Run?!"

Isajiki Jun was stunned when he saw this ball.

This guy actually hit a home run against Fōgiya Akatsuki!
