Ace of Diamond: The Pitcher Returns

The day before the game against Senquan Academy, Director Kataoka suddenly called everyone to gather at the B court, saying that they would start strike training.

Sawamura put down the cell phone in his hand and followed the army to the B court.

Since yesterday, he has received many text messages one after another.

The little friends from Akagi Middle School in the past had to watch him play. Including Hirota Feiyi and Matsumoto Rui, who are still in middle school. Their summer competition, also lost. Lost to Nagano Metropolitan.

Without Sawamura's Akagi, it would no longer be the Akagi that straddles the world!

But their results are not bad, at least better than Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi was in the top sixteen, and Akagi reached the top four in Nagano Prefecture. (Akagi is a seeded team. Before meeting Nagano Metropolis, Tenryuji and Dabei, they will not encounter too strong opponents.)

If you lose, it means the summer is over. They had nothing to do, so naturally they had time to cheer for Sawamura.

Not only this semi-final, but they will also come to the final.

For three days, on the one hand, I will cheer for Sawamura, and on the other hand, I can travel in Tokyo.

Because of the advertising, these little friends in Chicheng are not very poor. I have to say, money is really a good thing. Although it is not omnipotent, it can meet the needs of many people and give people a lot of convenience.

When they arrived at the B court, all the players in the first army were surprised.

On the pitching mound of the B course, a high mound was piled up. And it's not just piled up, the mounds are also filled very well.

This is going to be used as a pitching mound.

Helping to do this are those third-year seniors who have retired from baseball. A lot of people, Sawamura couldn't even name them.

"You guys!"

Izashiki's eyes are red, and regardless of the mustache senior, he looks like a vicious person on weekdays, but he is actually a very emotional person at heart.

"We also want to do something for the team."

In the Senquan battle, Qingdo High School's opponent was Yosuke Maki, known as the nation's No. 1 giant pitcher. It is said that the kid also got the green eye of a professional scout, which is very talented. Especially his kind of curve ball that fell from the highest height in the country, he has overcome a lot of strong hits.

These retired third-year seniors specially made this pitching mound in order to make the first army more adaptable to high drop **** before the game.

"We have been together for two years day and night. We can't compare such feelings."

Sawamura glanced at these third-year seniors with admiration.

He believes that one day in the future, they will also have such a friendship in this session.

"It's useless to have a mound, you need a pitcher who can throw a curveball, don't you?"

Ryosuke Kominato said.

"I'll be your opponent!"

Director Kataoka made preparations for some time.

Ochiai was right next to him, looking at Kataoka in surprise.

"Is the supervisor going to play in person? A practice opponent?"

"Yeah, I can't let Danbo come."

Kataoka definitely said.

Ochiai sighed as he saw Kataoka walking up the pitcher's mound.

"It's nice to be young!"

After the Yakushi War was over, Kataoka specially came to thank Ochiai. At that time, Ochiai was a little dumbfounded. I didn't expect the team's supervision to be such an open-minded person.

Now, I see Kataoka as the practice object of the players.

These are far more than Ochiai imagined!

That's why he said it's nice to be young.

There are some things you can't do just by thinking about it. Also need, you really have that kind of strength.

"If the opponent is the supervisor, can I fight seriously?"

The fighting spirit of becoming a captain immediately rose up.

"If you can hit it, just try."

Kataoka said disapprovingly.

"Then I have a chance too."

Sawamura held his bat and looked at Kataoka with burning eyes.

"casual!"

The opponent is Kataoka alone, and it is impossible for everyone in the first army to play. The main force takes turns to attack, and the others are responsible for the defense.

A pleasant training session just started.

This time, it's about adaptation, not a real offensive drill. Therefore, Qing Dao's line play was not arranged according to the normal rules. Rather, it is arranged according to the importance of the strike.

Sawamura came in second.

The first, of course, is the formation.

After forming into the strike zone, he did not perform well in the face of Kataoka's pitching. With three balls, he hit one ball in total, and the ball he hit was an infield rebound.

"Kuncheng, is this what you look like when you are serious? I don't think so."

On the high pitcher mound, Kataoka's words were very strict.

"Please make me fight again!"

Jun Cheng was also obviously stimulated, and his eyes became sharp.

"Line up, and I'll let each of you play enough."

After the formation, Sawamura stood on the strike zone.

"Please advise!"

After bowing respectfully to Kataoka, Sawamura raised the bat in his hand.

Although hitting Sawamura is not as cool as pitching. But this doesn't mean that he has no ambition in attacking, on the contrary, Sawamura is very ambitious in attacking.

Being able to play against Kataoka is a very exciting thing for Sawamura, both in terms of personal feelings and the challenge of pitching.

bring it on!

The seniors who were onlookers looked at Sawamura with high fighting spirit, and were also full of emotion.

"This stinky boy is really not easy. Even in the face of supervision, he will not back down at all."

"That's why he is Sawamura."

On the mound, Kataoka was also pleased with Sawamura's performance.

This is the trump card of Qing Dao, the attitude it should have.

"I won't show mercy!"

Kataoka said.

"I can't ask for it!"

Sawamura also did not flinch at all, even if it was against Kataoka, he did not show weakness at all.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball whistled.

On the strike zone, Sawamura's face sank.

The ball is fast, faster than expected. And it's not the usual rigid pitching. There seems to be life in Kataoka's pitching.

"awesome!"

Sawamura couldn't help but sighed in admiration.

However, such a pitch could not scare him. He still counted the timing and swung decisively.

The bat swung out, but the white ball suddenly fell.

Sawamura swung his bat in vain.

This is the hook ball!

It's no wonder that when they become captains, two of the three goals are missed.

The ball fell from top to bottom~www.wuxiamtl.com~ It flew not in a straight line, but an oblique line.

From the batter's point of view, what they want to hit is not a line, but an intersection.

The time, the location, the strength of the swing...

All these have to be controlled to perfection!

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hit the ball out.

"Come again!"

The bat was raised again, and Sawamura's eyes were fixed on Kataoka.

"This brat dares to stare at the supervisor."

"Sawamura doesn't dare to do anything, right?"

"By the way, the speed of the supervising ball is too fast, it is more than one hundred and four!"
