The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

Diamond Ace: The Return of the Pitcher Chapter 35

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura's eyes were about to shine.

After rebirth, it was the first time that Zecun encountered such a heavy hitter, a hitter who could make him stand tall!In this game, Sawamura had also faced off with Qi Haiyao for two rounds before. At that time, he clearly did not have the excitement he has now.

How come you have this feeling all of a sudden?

To be honest, there are only two answers.One is the previous Qi Haiyao, who didn't take it seriously, that is, he didn't go all out; the other is that he might grow up in this game.Either one of the two, or both...

However, Zecun is not in the mood to care about these.He was completely immersed in the confrontation with Qi Haiyao, and he enjoyed this feeling in his heart. Only in this feeling did he feel that his current life was not a dream, but an extremely vivid life.

Come on, let me see the true strength of the talented player Qi Haiyao!

In the position of the catcher, Feng Xiang first looked at Qi Haiyao incredible. Although he was respected as a genius player, Qi Haiyao usually played ball to deal with, and he was rarely as serious as he is now.Sure enough, when he met a strong opponent, was he also excited?

Then he turned his gaze to Sawamura on the pitcher mound.Although there was a hunch for a long time, Feng Xiang couldn't help but sigh when he really saw the showdown between the two: Sure enough, they are the same people, born for baseball.

No, Sawamura's state seems to be wrong.I don't know if it is his illusion, he always feels that Zecun's state is very strange, and Zecun's whole person seems to be burning now.

This is the first time Feng Xiang has seen such a Ze Village.On weekdays, as the core and leader of the team, Sawamura is always very responsible, although he loves to joke with his friends and get together.But the captain's majesty and maturity are not lacking.

Sawamura is different now. He has rarely seen the kind of friendly things on his body, and some are just his characteristics as a pitcher.

Never admit defeat, and desire to fight.

To Feng Xiang, this feeling was not unfamiliar. It was exactly the same as what he felt from Qi Hai when he confronted Qi Haiyao two years ago.

"As a friend, you are fine! As a partner, you are still too weak!"

That's what Qi Haiyao said at the time.

It was precisely because of this sentence that Feng Xiang parted ways with Qi Haiyao, and instead of joining Nagano Metropolitan Government or Tenryu Temple, he chose to go to Akagi Middle School in the countryside.

Feng Xiang always wanted to prove that even if he was not a genius, he could gain strength beyond genius through hard work.Although he has always been hailed as a genius, Feng Xiang knew that he was never a genius.

Simply speaking of his talent in baseball, he is not even as good as his substitute Tuhara.

At the beginning, in the Nagano Metropolitan League, Feng Xiang defeated countless opponents with ordinary aptitude in the team of geniuses, and took the position of Nagano Metropolitan League's main catcher.Therefore, he has always believed in his theory.

He has always believed that his strength can keep pace with Qi Haiyao.

Until that day's duel.

Qi Haiyao, who was arrogant on weekdays, was hit by himself first, and finally broke out completely.Feng Xiang would never forget that moment, and in the end he couldn't even touch Qi Haiyao's ball.

Qihai's whole person seemed to have suddenly awakened. The speed of the ball, the power of the ball, and the control of the ball were completely different from before.

"As a partner, you are too weak!"

...

Now Zecun is the same as the original Qi Hai, and even stronger.Can he catch his ball?

Yes, surely.The reason why he lost to Qi Hai was because his own efforts were not enough.In the past two years, I have never slackened one day, and I am definitely stronger than before.

"If you want to shoot any ball, just shoot it. Just tell me the approximate direction and I will be able to catch it!"

On the pitcher's mound, Zecun also felt Feng Xiang's firm will.

"Reliable senior, then I'm not welcome."

Change the ball, unblock!

With only six outs left, Sawamura thought he could still do it.As long as they win this game, they can go to the Kanto Conference. This is a very important experience for Akagi and for the friends.

Next, just strike out all the hitters to pitch the ball.

Zecun made a gesture, a code in the outer corner.

Feng Xiang nodded slightly.

Then Zecun wrapped the white ball in his hand with an'OK' gesture and threw the ball out.

In the process of throwing, swing your arms thoroughly, and at the same time, you should not use your fingers deliberately.

"Wow!"

The white ball flies, the ball is in the center!

Qi Haiyao, with excellent dynamic vision, immediately locked the ball path and swung the bat according to the timing he had already prepared.

"Om!"

Nanami's swing is very thorough. Among middle school students, not many can swing the bat with such a deep sound.

Just waiting for the end of his swing, the small white ball did not come.

The ball is so slow, so slow!

In Qi Haiyao's eyes, the small white ball seemed to have been enchanted and moved slowly.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

One goal, just one goal, Zecun stirred the emotions of everyone on the scene.

The contestants of Tianlong Temple Middle School all had pale faces, and they had a vague premonition, but now they have become more real.That pitcher has still retained the ultimate move until now.

His change ball has never appeared at all.

All of this is exactly the same as his last match against Nagano Tsuritsu High School.That time, Zecun didn't make a straight ball until the end.It was precisely because of the sudden appearance of the straight ball that they extinguished the final scoring hope of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School.

Now, Sawamura has completely copied the previous game and took out a new weapon in the final stage. Does the King Tianlong Temple also lose Maicheng?

On the contrary, the fans of the Brotherhood of Red Hearts have their eyes shining.What did they see?Sawamura is indeed omnipotent, and even throws variable speed balls.

"Zecun, Zecun!!!"

"Aka City, Aka City!!!"

The sound of cheering suddenly became extremely loud, suppressing the entire stadium.

The students from Akagi Middle School sitting next to them were all taken aback.

For those who don't know much about baseball, is Sawamura's obvious missed and slow ball really so powerful?

"Huh~"

On the strike zone, Qi Haiyao's eyes seemed to glow, and he was attracted by Zecun's pitch.In other words, he did not expect that he would face the shift ball thrown by Sawamura in this situation.

After the first ball, Sawamura made a straight second ball.

Facing this ball, Qi Haiyao's mind inevitably showed the scene of a shift ball. Although he swung his bat, the ball did not play well.Because he swung the bat too late, he flew the ball out of bounds.

One bad ball, one good ball, one out-of-bounds, and two out-of-bounds goals are considered good.

So the number of balls is two good and one bad, and the hitter is chased.

...

Chapter 056: Never Lose!

The ball speed is not very fast, but the ball path changes very well, not only with a small angle of float, but also with depth changes.Of course, these are not the most important ones. The most important thing is that Sawamura has the calmness and fighting spirit that a pitcher needs.

In his pitching, he has the fighting spirit and vitality that a top pitcher has.In other words, to put it simply, even if the speed and change of Sawamura's ball are perfectly simulated with a pitching machine, it will definitely not achieve the effect of his pitching.

That is not the realm that machines can reach, it is the ball that only humans can throw.

Even if they are both pitchers, Qi Hai Yao has to sigh Zemura's talents, and these talents have gradually turned into strength...

"awesome!"

Zecun was the first to make Qi Haiyao speak this evaluation.

In the past, Qi Haiyao always chased his senior as a younger generation, watching the seniors one by one surpassed by himself.This feeling is very exciting, but also easy to slacken off.

Gradually, Qi Haiyao couldn't even see the figure in front of him.

Feng Xiang, and the seniors, when there were no more people around him who needed to surpass, Qi Haiyao's strength fell into a standstill.Especially after he participated in the national competition, he saw the so-called masters of the national competition, the appearance of average strength.

He suddenly gave birth to the whole country but it was so emotional.

If he tries too hard, I am afraid he will never meet his opponent again!

In order to make her play a little happier, Qi Haiyao invisibly relaxed her request.Although as his body grows, his strengths in all aspects have also risen, but in his understanding of baseball, he has not improved much this year.

The world where he couldn't see his opponent was barren and dark, making Qi Haiyao stand still, and he had no motivation to move forward.

Now he finally met his opponent. It was just amazing. This opponent was not the predecessor he needed to catch up with before, but the younger generation chasing after him.

As long as I keep on the path of baseball, will guys like Sawamura spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain?

Thinking of this, Qi Haiyao seemed to hear the cheers of the trillions of cells in his body.

It's not enough to stand still. In order to meet more interesting opponents like Sawamura in the future, he said that he could not lose anything in this game.

The bat in his hand was held tightly, and Qi Haiyao stared at Zecun unblinkingly, as if he could see through Zecun.At the same time, the bat in his hand was raised high, and his whole body looked very relaxed.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura felt exactly the same as Nanami Haruka.

The cells of the whole body tremble with excitement.

He can't lose this matchup, whether it's for the team or for himself.For this reason, he even did not hesitate to unlock the change ball that he originally planned to unlock until the second and third grades.

Because of the soft body, arms and wrists can throw the ball like a whip.Sawamura can achieve the goal of changing the ball as long as he changes the way he holds the ball and where he holds the ball.

The method of holding the ball is different, the location of the ball and the stitches are different, and the changes are also various.In the past life, Sawamura was called the king of change ball, not without reason.Except for the quirks that don't see much difference, he has mastered 20 or 30 kinds of balls with clear changes in the ball path.

It's not clear whether this record is a newcomer, but it is definitely unprecedented.For this reason, Sawamura has attracted much attention in the major leagues and has become an excellent rescue pitcher.

Because of the wide variety of change balls and a super big heart that has been tempered from high school, Sawamura has not become the first person in the rescue pitcher position, but he is still one of the top rescue pitchers.

Unfortunately, rescue is rescue, not trump card.Regardless of record, fame or industry evaluation, Zecun has not reached the peak of his career.

What restricts Zemura is his speed and power!

The ball speed of 140 kilometers, although not slow in the major leagues, is not exceptional.Some monsters with strong strike strength can wait for the ball to completely enter the hand before swinging.

In the face of such a hitter, Sawamura often feels that he is powerless, and everyone has played against each other with evenly divided results.Although no one can completely suppress Zecun, Zecun also does not have a top hitter who can securely win.

You can't be the trump card if you can't win the number of outs in the most critical situation.

Since he is alive again, Sawamura has only one requirement for himself, and that is to become the ace, the greatest ace pitcher in the world.

Qi Haiyao is his first opponent.

"Ping!"

Sawamura’s third ball was a variable speed ball, which was hit by Qikai Haruka to seize the opportunity to swing.

"The outside world!"

The number of balls did not change, but Qi Haiyao pulled one back in terms of momentum.

He caught the assassin that Zecun had just taken out.

At the position of the catcher, Feng Xiang's brows were almost frowning.He knows the details of Qi Haiyao very well, this guy has dynamic vision far beyond ordinary people.For ordinary hitters, if the pitcher shoots more, they can slowly adapt.What's more, Qi Haiyao is a hitter with excellent dynamic vision.

Sawamura’s second shift ball failed to strike out seven seas away, which means that it will be difficult to deceive him for the subsequent shift ball.

On the pitcher's hill, Sawamura's face also became serious.

A icy momentum that belongs solely to the pitcher, constantly permeating.

The little friends guarding around Zecun became nervous subconsciously. Although they didn't understand the specific reason, they realized the importance of the current confrontation to Zecun.

As teammates, friends, and childhood sweethearts, they can only choose to do a good job of auxiliary work and silently support.Once the ball flies to your side, even if you desperately have to stop the ball.

"Let them fight, we will stop."

"Two good shots, two good shots!!!"

"Come on, Rong Chun."

"Zecun, it's up to you."

For the first time, it was useless to remind Zecun, the little friend started to cheer for Zecun.The first one to speak was third base Cang Yue. When she spoke, she immediately attracted the attention of the male creature from Tianlong Temple Middle School.

Ruo Cai hadn't spoken before, but they didn't actually tell Feng Liang and Cang Yue who were the female.Now I finally know that the one who used to guard third base is the only female knight on the court in the legend-Cang Yue Ruona.

With a small white face and big eyes, the whole person looks light and agile, and he still has the temperament of the next door girl.

So cute~

Akagi's these bastards are too happy. Not only can he pick up a genius pitcher like Sawamura in ten years, he can complete the life ideal of counterattacking the local tyrants, and there are beautiful girls to accompany him on weekdays.
