Diamond Ace: Qingdao King

Chapter 232 2 Expected Newcomers
When Jie Cheng returned home, the agent had been there for a while, and when he saw someone coming back, he shook hands and asked familiarly, "Are you going to see Chris off? I heard he is on the plane today."

"Yeah." It's not surprising that he knows that, after all, agents and scouts pay close attention to interested players.

The agent seemed very sorry: "We persuaded him many times, but it's a pity that he wants to continue to study in college."

Speaking of this, he looked at Jiecheng: "How about you, Jiecheng? Do you want to continue studying, or do you want to participate in the draft this year?"

Jie Cheng has been asked this question a lot recently, but he can't say anything directly about the identity of the other party, even if his behavior of coming to his home is already very inappropriate.

The parents on the other side of the sofa also looked forward to it, which was a bit embarrassing, because he really hadn't thought it through yet.Although he knew that his parents really wanted him to stay in Nihong to play, but he was a little bewitched by what Chen Xin said before.

Do you go for what you can see in front of your eyes, or fight for what you dream of...

he does not know……

There is actually little point in discussing this kind of thing with parents, because they only hope that their children will have a smooth journey and be closer to home.

"Sorry, I think I still need time to think about it."

He planned to consult Chen Xin tomorrow.

The manager returned in vain, but he wasn't worried. He came here today for two main purposes. One was to express his intentions, and the second was to communicate with the formed parents.

In this respect, it is actually not the most important thing to meet one's wishes. He has been an agent for so many years, so he naturally knows these routines very clearly.

As for the players, they are still just teenagers. They have no professional experience, and most of them are still confused about the future.Therefore, the opinions of family members are very important. Most parents can give their children a direction, and their opinions are absolute for children.

~
Sure enough, as soon as the agent left, the married parents began to persuade their son in various ways.

"Isn't it good to stay in Neon and play?"

"In the past few days, we have done relevant research. Just now, the agent also said that it is a pity that the most critical years are delayed if you go to university."

"That's right, even if you really want to play in the big leagues, there's no need to worry. Let's play here first and accumulate some experience, right?"

"..."

But Yuuki has always been very assertive, and he didn't mean to be persuaded at all: "Let me think about it again."

This is a decision related to the future, so he needs to think carefully about all aspects, and he is the one who plays the game. Parents' opinions are very important, but they cannot be regarded as the only reference standard.

"It's not in a hurry. I'll go to the school tomorrow to have a look." He said so, and the two elders had no choice. On the other hand, they are also quite experienced. It would be better for Yuki to ask, and they will feel more at ease.

After all, you can't just listen to your agent, he hasn't signed a contract yet.

……

Yuki made an appointment with Chen Xin the next day, and he deliberately chose the time after practice. After all, the competition was about to start, and he didn't want to delay others too much.

And I heard that Chen Xin is adjusting the training menu recently, so naturally he has to wait for others to finish training.

I carefully stated the general questions and personal opinions: "Of course I still want to continue studying. I found some information before. Many seniors who started their careers did not know what to do after they left their careers for such reasons. What have you done, quite... So I think reading is still very important.”

Most of these students with sports talents didn't have very good grades, so this was indeed a very difficult decision for him.

Players have a limited golden age, and reading also needs to be completed within this time.

Chen Xin blinked: "Our, my relative's agency is very professional and precious, not only considering the present, but also the future development of players after they stop playing, whether it is normal retirement or retirement due to other reasons , all based on the priority of protecting the interests of the players."

Jie Cheng was amused by his serious salesman, but unfortunately, he didn't come to join today: "Do you think, given the premise of multiple choices, how should I choose? If you were me, how would I choose?" ?”

After all, Chen Xin's family has a lot of professional relatives, and he himself wants to develop in this direction. Everyone is also a former teammate, so he wants to hear the opinions of his teammates.

Chen Xin thought for a while and said: "Let me talk about your own opinion first, after all this is the most important thing, even if I tell you that going to college is very important, it is just a preventive measure, if you are really bad I like to study, maybe even going to study will be very hard, right?"

Here Chen Xin shivered, because he was a guy with very bad grades and didn't want to study at all...

Jie Cheng didn't seem to be crazy when he heard about learning, he was always so calm: "I don't hate it."

For him, learning is something that must be done, and he never said that he hates or wants to escape.

Only then did Chen Xin continue to say: "Then you should go to college. For things like career, we ordinary people gamble on 'luck'. Even football teams and scouts are scratching the lottery."

"But... isn't there such a thing as draft pick? Is it also a gamble?"

Chen Xin said to him carefully: "No, I think this is more about the difference in the 'opportunities' given."

"If the team is more optimistic about the player, then the team will give him more opportunities to show, and he will naturally have more opportunities to prove whether he is suitable for professional baseball, or when he can enter professional baseball. stage."

"If it's just a scratch player, that's not necessarily the case. After all, the club itself gives fewer opportunities, and in the process of giving opportunities, if the players are not in good condition, then they will miss the chance. Opportunity, it is very likely that we will never get a further opportunity in the future. This is also 'luck'."

"That's why I said that it is good to go to college. In the future, there will be more guarantees and more choices? Moreover, players who graduated from college are more favored by professional teams."

Speaking of this, Yuuki is quite curious: "Is it because college players are more popular than high school players? But I did a research on the situation in the major leagues before, and it seems that even college players are not considered instant players. It's a fighting force."

"Yes, the requirements of the major leagues are very high. For most college players, not only is it not an immediate combat ability, but it even needs to be cultivated for a long time, but that is only compared to their current situation. Graduated from high school Some of them have to be raised for a longer period of time, and occasionally they make it to the big leagues in a short period of time."

"So although it's not a serious immediate combat power, it is indeed much more cost-effective compared to high school students. And at the age of college, you can almost see the basic level of the players. Even if you scratch the lottery The chances are much less.”

Jie Cheng calculated the time spent in college, estimated his age at that time, and then asked, "When is the player's physical peak?"

"27-30? This is probably a relatively average time, but I think the general maintenance is better. Before 35, it is not bad. Some monsters are still monsters when they are 38, nine years old or even over 40."

Yuuki's relaxed expression became a little tense: "The standard of Neon University and Ai Meijian's side, which one is more suitable?"

"Of course it's Emily Jian's side. If you have any questions, maybe you can consult Chris? After all, I haven't studied in college."

Haven't read it in two lifetimes! !Beat the table! !
"By the way, look for me and my relatives after you're sure! Is there any recommendation? After all, it's too late for you to apply now, right?"

……

The routes of the third-year players have been planned one by one. During this period, whether it is Director Kataoka, Ms. Takashima or even the directors, everyone is very concerned. After all, this is not only related to future enrollment, they I also hope that my players can have a good enough future.

"Most of them chose to go to college?"

"Thought there would be a few in the pro baseball draft."

In the class before this group of third graders, Dong Qingguo, the strong stick of Qingdao, was nominated, which also had a great impact on the enrollment.If possible, they also want to make persistent efforts this year~
But the players have already made their own decisions, and there is no way around that.And this year's impact should not be too big, after all, Qingdao finally entered Koshien this year, and the members are still very good, I believe the recruitment will be very smooth.

The director's small fan slapped and asked Ms. Takashima: "Is the recent enrollment going well?"

"Well, the catcher from Kanagawa who I have contacted before has confirmed his intention and will come over."

"Oh?" Ochiai looked over curiously. He has been coaching in Kanagawa for so long. There are many rich and powerful teams in their area. Generally, outstanding players will stay there, and they are... catchers?
You must know that Jia Ziyuan was able to achieve such good results before Qingdao, the big reason is that they have very good catchers.

Chris in the third grade and Miyuki in the second grade.

But with Chris' retirement, Miyuki will have to support himself, especially since they still have two rookie pitchers, both of whom need the guidance of a catcher.

And Miyuki will be promoted to the third grade soon, if there is no suitable successor, when Miyuki retires, their Seidou will face the situation that there will be no catcher to use.

Of course, there are ordinary catchers, but they have been using the highest level of catchers for the past few years. If they change suddenly, let alone whether the players can accept it, it is whether the level of the two rookie pitchers will be greatly affected. Impact?It's all still unknown.

So for the new catcher, everyone is looking forward to it.

Ms. Takashima said with a smile: "Although there are indeed many shortcomings in experience and technology, it is indeed a very, very good seedling. And both offensive and defensive ends are very, very good."

A few in a row are very, very, it can be said that Ms. Takashima is very satisfied.

In the neon high school baseball where women are very excluded, Ms. Takashima can be a full-time scout and deputy director. Naturally, she has very cutting-edge abilities. Otherwise, Chen Xin would not secretly want to poach people. .

Now that she expressed her satisfaction with this rookie catcher, there must be something worthy of attention in the other party.

"Who is it? Registered?"

"Yes, it's the starting catcher Okumura Mitsushuk of the Dajing Little League." Speaking of this, Ms. Takashima added: "By the way, Okumura's teammate is also the starting second baseman Seto from the Dajing Little League. Takuma is also basically determined."

Everyone is very satisfied. After all, Seido's defense in the field is largely dependent on the ability of the second team. Now Kominato Haruichi is a perfect substitute after Kominato Ryosuke's retirement, but when Kuramochi retires next year What?It is of course best to have a good second baseman around and be able to make adjustments at any time.The players in the infield will never dislike them too much!
Takashima said that the phone rang here, and he went out to answer the call and came back with a joyful expression on his whole body.

Coach Ochiai rubbed his chin: "Looks like there's good news again."

Ms. Takashima smiled and nodded: "Yes, I just received the news that Kaoru Yui, the former catcher of Mamiya senior, has also decided to come to Qingdao."

"!!"

"confirmed?"

"I'm sure!" Ms. Takashima said with a smile, "I said that I am very interested in our pitchers."

"Haha! That's great." The director's fan became more vigorous: "With two excellent catchers as preparations at the same time, I can feel more at ease."

Ochiai squeezed his moustache, and felt that Seidou's "catcher's luck" was amazing. Before him was Chris, and behind him was Miyuki Kazuya. These two were originally unborn geniuses.As a result, there are now top newcomers to make up for it~ This is truly remarkable.You know, that's Mamiya Senior's real catcher!
"Is there a shortage of hitters now? After all, the third grade has retired, and the first grade has not been practiced yet, and the talents of the substitutes before the second grade are relatively limited~" Ochiai Hiromitsu has always been very straightforward when speaking. He is optimistic about the players he is optimistic about. Optimistic players have their own set of more accurate judgments: "It would be a pity if there is only Chen Xin in the lineup, and there are no players who can connect with each other."

"Yes, but I haven't decided to come to Qingdao yet." Ms. Takashima pushed down her glasses and said, "Yuuki's younger brother, Yuuki Shoji. The regular four of the Kokubun Little League team, a super strong bat who left his achievements in junior high school , Has shown stronger data than my brother in terms of strength and existing records. As long as the talent can be fulfilled, I believe it will definitely become the team's future, the absolute main force of the center bat."
