Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 88 Damn Injury

The moment his batting average was broken, Zhou Hui had just run past first base and he couldn't let it go for a long time.

He stood five meters in front of the first base, staring blankly at the scoreboard in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Maybe this is what they mean: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

It's perhaps a pity that he didn't continue his 100% batting average.

But this record will be broken sooner or later.

At least Zhou Hui made it to the semi-finals.

In this respect, he is better than all the hitters in this tournament.

"Ah! See? I'm the best pitcher in West Tokyo!"

Sanada shouted, looking at Chengmiya Mei who was sitting in the audience.

Cheng Gongming looked at him with more disdain than fear.

Cheng Gongming has always been a proud prince, no one can intimidate him.

"Did you see that, Ming? That guy seems to be challenging your authority."

The young man next to Cheng Gong Ming said.

The flowing red hair covers one of its eyes.

Daocheng Industrial's main shortstop, Baihe Shengzhi.

Although he is thin in body, he is the unshakable second in command of Daocheng Industry.

The main reason is his tactical execution ability, which is quite good in the entire West Tokyo.

He and the team's main center fielder and first batter Kamiya's hit-and-run and bunt tactics have caused headaches for many high schools in West Tokyo.

"So what? We will definitely be the ones to enter Koshien this year."

Cheng Gong Ming widened his eyes and looked towards the venue.

Koshien has always been a place that Chengmiya Ming longed for.

Last summer, Cheng Gongming entered Koshien with the team as a replacement pitcher for Daocheng Industrial.

However, Cheng Gongming's wild pitch in the third round caused the team to unfortunately be eliminated in the third round.

It is also because of this that Cheng Gongming has always felt guilty and unwilling.

If given the chance, he still wants to lead the team into Koshien this year and win the final championship.

And this time, he is the ace pitcher.

Seeing Cheng Gongming's expression, Harada next to him just smiled and said nothing.

Seidou High School's lineup this year is not bad.

But if they want to enter Koshien, they still have to pass this level!
Otherwise, there is absolutely no chance!

"Fifth batter, catcher, Chris."

Zhou Hui left the stage with a gloomy face, and his originally fair and tender face turned dim at this moment.

Zhou Hui has great ambitions.

From the moment the summer season began, his goal was to end the summer season with a 100% batting average.

The purpose is to make up for the regrets in junior high school.

When he was in junior high school, Zhou Hui did not achieve this achievement in the regional conference.

So, he left this dream in high school.

But the intensity of high school was undoubtedly greater, which prevented him from fulfilling his dream.

"It doesn't matter. Let me avenge you."

Chris smiled and touched Zhou Hui's head.

Zhou Hui was stunned for a moment, and a drop of crystal clear liquid slid down from the corner of his eye.

Without looking back, Zhou Hui walked straight back to the lounge. Chris looked back and just shook his head without saying anything else.

This kid cares too much about data.

"Mr. Zhou Hui, it's okay. Your previous hitting performance has always been great. You are the hitter I admire the most."

Haruichi immediately handed over a cool towel and words of comfort.

In fact, no one has too many requirements for Zhou Hui, he is just very strict with himself.

Zhou's father and mother did not say anything about having their son enter Koshien, play professional baseball, and make a million or eight hundred thousand from baseball.

They just hope that their son can stay safe and sound while playing the sport he loves.

After Zhou Hui took the towel, he covered his head with it, reluctant to accept this result.

Chris went to the batting box and raised the bat high. He remembered what he had said before, he must avenge his apprentice!

So in this at-bat, he had to at least get a hit.

"Master Chris, come on!"

Sawamura said as he lay on the fence of the cowshed.

Chris has always been Sawamura's idol.

He ignored her at first, so Chris became the person he admired the most.

Haruichi and Miyuki were both in the locker room, so naturally there was no one to pass the ball to him.

It was not surprising that Sawamura did not warm up properly.

"Then come on, just beat them with the inside corner kick."

Qiuye continued to choose the inside corner.

The inside corner ball is the ball that most relies on the pitcher's psychological quality, and it is also a display of their self-confidence.

If a pitcher can throw the inside corner ball smoothly, it proves that his self-confidence must be very high and his psychological quality must not be bad.

The inside corner ball is the type of ball that is easiest to hit the batter, and if you are not careful, it can become a hit ball.

The position of the inside corner ball is also the closest to the batter's heart.

There are also professional baseball players who have died from pitching.

Therefore, many high school pitchers rarely choose the inside corner.

But at this point in the game, they are all the strongest pitchers in West Tokyo.

It’s false to say you don’t have self-confidence.

"Whoosh!"

"Another inside corner kick?"

Chris looked helpless.

As a player who has experienced injuries, what annoys him most is the inside corner kick.

"Qiang!"

Chris lashed out with the bat.

Unlike Zhou Hui, although Chris performed well in the summer competition, he did not have a 100% batting average, so he no longer had any psychological burden.

Even though Chris still has a 100% batting average, he has no psychological pressure.

He has lost count of how many key shots he has missed since entering high school, so why bother about just one or two?

"Left field!"

The baseball landed right in front of the left fielder.

Makoto Moriyama ran over, bent down and picked up the baseball skillfully.

After Chris ran past first base, he still didn't give up, or maybe he was a little greedy.

He still wants to run to second base!

Every time he runs to a base, Qingdao High School's chance of scoring will increase!
"Isn't it a bit dangerous?"

"Pass it back quickly, pass it back! Pass it back!"

An Zexiu waved his hands and shouted.

"Snapped!"

The baseball was passed into An Zexiu's glove, and Chris just happened to slide and his left foot touched the second base bag.

"Safety on base!"

An Zexiu's reaction was still a step slow, allowing Chris to reach base successfully.

"Great!"

"On base!"

“Nice run!”

The students of Qingdao High School have already jumped up and cheered.

But Chris was slow to stand up, unable to straighten himself up, and lay down near second base.

The students of Qingdao High School were celebrating just now, but they became nervous the next second.

"It's that damn injury again!"
