Chereads / Ace of Diamond: Return of the Pitcher / Chapter 435 - Chapter 67: Pride

Chapter 435 - Chapter 67: Pride

Hit, hit out!

The audience in the stands who were originally cheering for Sawamura suddenly became silent as if someone was strangling them and lost their voice.

The scene that suddenly appeared in front of him was really weird, even though Sawamura and Akutsu had one win and one defeat before. But everyone obviously has higher confidence in the Maou Sawamura Eijun, and always believes that in this duel, the final winner should be the Maou Sawamura Eijun.

But now the result is a surprise.

Akutsu hit a double.

The significance of this hit is not to mention those experts who have seen through the plans of Seihou High School. Even some laymen can feel that the situation that Seidou High School is currently facing is not particularly good.

The first to bear the brunt is pitcher Sawamura.

He had to face Seihou High School's strongest Batter, Sano Shuzo, with a runner at second base.

No Outs, runners at second base.

"Fourth Batter, third baseman, Sano-kun."

Originally, Akutsu's scheme was to have Sano Shuzo and the fifth player Hirahara Rei keep walking him, and finally send him back to home plate.

To be honest, the success rate of this plan is still very high, especially after Akutsu got to second base, the success rate of this plan has become even higher.

But Shuzo Sano didn't want to follow Akutsu's schemes.

Just before he hit the field, the team's Coach, Coach Nishidera Yuu, found him specially and chatted with him for a few words.

"How do you feel about Sawamura on the mound now?"

"Strong and Scary!"

Despite his strong muscles, Sano's mind is not simple at all. He has vivid memories of his previous fights with Sawamura, and he is very sure of Sawamura's strength.

To put it bluntly, Sawamura Eijun is definitely the strongest among all the pitchers who have played against Seihou High School before.

"Yeah, how strong should that guy's mental strength be? How strong should his strength be? To deal with our lineup with such confidence…"

Saying that, Coach Nishidera couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Before today's game, although he realized that Seidou High School would be very strong, he never thought that Seidou High School would suppress them to this level.

'We did well in this game.'

Although the offense was lacking, it was evenly matched with Seidou High School. In the eyes of Coach Nishidera, Seihou High School's performance today was indeed good.

"But we came to Koshien to dominate the whole country, not to be a stepping stone here for others. The next attack is up to you. If you really don't have any plans, you can follow Akutsu's instructions…"

In the end, the Coach of Nishidera did not completely follow the plan that Akutsu came up with.

In the face of the crisis, he is more willing to believe in his own strongest fourth batter ever.

Sano Shuzo had been played around by Sawamura twice before, But there was still no way to change this, at the moment, Sano is about to face Sawamura again.

According to Akutsu, now the players at Seidou High School have discovered their strategy.

Next, the focus of Seidou High School's mission should be how to prevent them from continuing to get to the next base!

If it was a normal team, they might not have thought that far, but if the opponent was Seidou High School, they must have already thought of a countermeasure. If Akutsu goes to second base, how should they deal with the next Batter?

According to Akutsu, even if he gets to second base, it does not mean that this match is over. On the contrary, it is very likely that the exciting part of this match has just begun.

'Sawamura Eijun and Takigawa Chris have strong containment skills, even if…'

These chaotic thoughts and instructions continued to emerge in Sano Shuzo's mind, and eventually, they all converged to form a firm will.

'I want to hit the ball that will fly over.'

The Demon King Sawamura Eijun was scary, but Sano in the Box was even more scary at the moment.

His whole aura is like a demon slayer that slayed countless demons, There were red lights in the eyes.

'Bring it! I will hit it!!' Sano Shuzo is full of spirit and determination.

At second base, seeing Sano like this, Akutsu was a little unhappy.

It's not hard to guess that Sano Shuzo didn't follow his plans completely. After all, he is a star player and has his own pride.

It's just that the situation he worked so hard to reach before is finally here because Sano is so stubborn that it is difficult for the plan to work.

Akutsu had never thought of this before.

He originally thought that after he got to second base himself, it would be equivalent to pushing the Seidou High School baseball team to the brink of the cliff and slaying the Demon King in one go.

Every step he took next was just sending Seidou High School to the abyss more and more.

Now that his plan is about to be successful, Sano Shuzo suddenly changes his mind, and it is full of troubles.

"The dangers hidden in-between will always be several times more than those outside."

The game continues.

'Come on! Bring it! Throw your best Pitch here and watch me hit it for you.' Sano Shuzo's aura soared to a terrifying level.

Looking at this stance, no matter what kind of ball Sawamura throws now, he will definitely slam it.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura Eijun has been observing the changes of Sano Shuzo.

Although Akutsu's going to base surprised Sawamura Eijun, it did not catch him by surprise.

right now, he glanced at Akutsu on the second base from the corner of his eyes, seemingly unintentionally.

Pinning him to the base with his eyes.

Although Akutsu never thought about stealing bases right now. But Sawamura's containment still made him feel that he had no chance to steal bases.

Once he starts stealing base, Sawamura Eijun, who was looking at second base from the corner of his eye on the pitcher's mound, will definitely kill him mercilessly…

'Interesting!'

There was such a big obstacle ahead, but Akutsu didn't take it to heart.

On the contrary, he feels very excited now, everything is acting according to his script.

If it wasn't for Shuzo Sano's sudden change of mind, and his will to face off against Sawamura Eijun, he should have a good chance of winning a Run.

On the strike zone, Sano Shuzo is also a very good-natured person normally.

It's just that on his face now, you can't see any good-tempered features.

Like a vicious lion, he stared coldly at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound.

This scene stunned Chris in the catcher position.

After Akutsu hit a double, Chris was thinking about short bats and stolen bases.

As a result, looking at it now, Seihou High School doesn't have that intention at all.

They seem to have suddenly changed their mind, and right now they are going to face off against Sawamura.

'This is really…'

After subconsciously thinking for a long time, Chris didn't even understand what the opponent planned.
