Diamond Ace: Qingdao King

Chapter 234 4 Suffering Players
Chen Xin's annual "send balls to the countryside" activities have not stopped before traveling, and most of them are sent to care for special children, poor children playing ball overseas and so on.

But after crossing, there is no fund, and there are no channels of one kind or another, so these activities naturally do not exist.

But now he found that maybe these can start from the side.

What are those international baseball schools?
Most of them are set up in extremely poor places. Children who meet the standards are signed in, can eat and wear warmly, can study, and get a good upbringing.

As for these players in Qingdao, they live in a peaceful country, and they can eat enough and wear warmth, but how much support has their family given them for their dream of playing basketball?How much do you need to bear?How much do you pay?

I didn't pay attention before, and I didn't notice many things.Now staring at it, I naturally discovered the problems that I only did by accident.

For example, on rest days, some players basically don't go out to play, go shopping?It's simply not possible.

For example, the replacement of some personal items~
Another example is jerseys and uniforms. Some people just buy less, while others buy more.

Not to mention the perpetual line of dryers in the laundry room every day.

He pulled out the payment list and read it carefully, because the fees to be paid were very detailed, so each item was recorded very clearly.

First the uniforms.One set is about 11 yuan, and he bought 7 sets, just for the convenience of changing and washing.He doesn't know much about the classmates in the class, but he can see some of the teammates who live together every day.Several of them were washed and dried directly at night, and the clothes that were not in the dryer were hung there, and they were worn the next day.

He didn't think much about it before, he just thought it was because boys were lazy, but now it seems that it's all about money, maybe some people only buy one set?
In addition, there are sweatshirts and shoes... If you have to buy multiple sets, it should be a big burden for many families.

That's not even counting the baseball team's expenses.

Game uniforms, practice jerseys, jackets, hats...everything is worth a fortune.It's really a lot of cost to add up.

And with this age and the need for sports, these clothes wear out very quickly, and replacements are indispensable~
In addition, it gets dirty and needs to be changed every day...

One set is definitely not enough, and he felt that two sets were not enough at all, so when he bought it, he bought it according to the number of configurations he had in the major leagues.

I didn't think much about it before, now I pay attention...

No wonder everyone didn't change their clothes so diligently during the previous game against Didong.

It was raining, the rain was quite heavy, and he and Jiang Gu switched the most diligently that day. Most of the other players only changed once?or twice?

He can't remember...

But definitely very few times.

There are so few spare jerseys and inner linings...

These children are too pitiful!
He knew that playing baseball was expensive, but he didn't know how expensive it was!

Or is the price of neon just too high?
His major league jerseys don't cost that much in stores!
What a pit!

The cost of Jiashien... 15W?

Although Takashima explained that it was a souvenir for the aid, Chen Xin still felt that it was quite expensive. He didn’t know anything else. He only remembered that he went outside to play games when he was in the Little League. Their team used to pay 250 for sex once. Make up.

No wonder Sato has to work all the time~
ah!Suddenly, I feel that the parents of Brother Xiaomin are really amazing, and they have to bear the expenses of the two sons, not to mention that Chunshi still uses wooden sticks!

Chen Xin feels that with the increase in the menu, the bats will soon return to the bats he used in his previous life, and maybe he can increase the size, so those who are not in use may be given to Chunshi or those who want to start sharpening wooden bats Players use it?
I'm just worried that the spring market is not suitable for the size, so I have to go to see it another day.

Broken spikes are also ready to order?
But to be honest, Sawamura is really the most 'saving money' guy!
Don’t worry about bats and gloves, it’s no problem to use them for the last N years,
Sure enough, pitchers are the cheapest!Especially the pitchers who don't need to hit will save more money, right?
In this way, what he said to the ace before the team crossed is very interesting.

At that time, everyone was discussing why they like the position they play now. Chen Xin said that it was super fun to run around and interact with the children, while the guerrillas on the team at that time said that this position was the coolest, and they could earn money by playing just a little bit. big money;
As for the first baseman, he said that he was originally from short-stop and was pushed to first base. Of course, it has something to do with his getting bigger and bigger.

But what the former ace said is very interesting. He said, 'Because pitchers save the most money, even if they use substitutes, they won't be greatly affected'.

The former ace is a Latin American player. He knew he wanted to play baseball since he was a child. Only playing baseball can change his life.But without professional equipment, it is not something that can be used if you are too busy.

So the children figured out their own way. The catcher used all kinds of discarded paper shells and foam to make protective gear, and the fielder used wooden sticks and water pipes as bats. Are these things simple?It's not easy at all!

Take waste paper shells and foam as an example, these are things that have to be snatched from others, after all, they are things that can be exchanged for money.And the fielder's 'water pipe bat' is even more expensive...

But for pitchers, you don't need to think about these.

They can use anything as a glove.

A glove made of cloth can be filled with messy things, it’s just a formality anyway!

They are above all pitching!faster!fastest!Faster! !

This is the most basic standard!
sneakers?jersey?They have absolutely no need for such a thing.

So it really saves money~
This can be regarded as a habit. Even after entering the major leagues and earning a lot of money, the former ace has no habit of being extravagant, at least in terms of glove requirements, and it is not without sponsorship, but he I was stunned that I hadn't changed a glove for more than ten years. (There is no mandatory requirement for sponsorship in major leagues)
It won't work with any other fielder, especially a catcher.In the era when he played, pitchers were not on the same level as they are now.They are faster, stronger, and naturally, the catcher's mitts are more prone to damage.

Chen Xin remembered that the catchers on their team often had to be replaced two or three times a year, and the usual maintenance should be in place, in case they suddenly had to change new gloves because they were not properly maintained and could not adapt.

But if it's a pitcher like Jiang Gu, it won't be so cheap, right?

Although it's a strong shot, he doesn't want to give up hitting. There are also pitchers like this, but no matter how obsessed they are, they won't cost a lot of money.

Of course, the premise is not to participate in any independent training or never ask a coach or special adjustment.

But it’s not easy to stay in the major leagues. If you want to stand there forever and receive the highest salary and receive the best services, it’s not enough to stay in shape. You also have to take yourself one step closer, so these are even less important. not enough.

"Tsk tsk~" The more Chen Xin looked at her teammates, the more helpless she became. After spending so much money, the burden on the family should not be small, right?And most of them have no way to squeeze into the big list, not even a chance to sit on the bench...

If the initial donation was to allow his equipment to enter Qingdao openly, then he now really wants to do his part for his teammates.

He admires those players who cannot enter the first army or even the second army. If it were him, even with his current mentality, he would not be able to play in a team while being unable to play. It takes so much money to chase dreams.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that his face was still full of 'kindness', Yuxing waved his hand in front of him: "Hello."

"Oh." Chen Xin looked back at him: "My relatives have a pile of wooden sticks that are not needed. Do you need to practice? If you have any, you can donate them."

Speaking of which, Miyuki seems to be very frugal, and I never see him spending money on anything.

Regardless of the family background, such a fee standard, even if it is a special student, can be regarded as a very high expenditure.Do you want to invite your teammates to eat something delicious in the future?

Speaking of which...before today, he always thought that everyone's lunch was free.

Miyuki didn't know what he was thinking, and all his attention was on the bat the other party said: "Really? Can it be used casually? Is it cracked?"

In fact, he also has a wooden stick. Like most of his teammates, he has stretched out and touched the wooden stick, and even hit a few shots, but the current technology, strength, and attractiveness are not enough to support him to use the wooden stick. to play.Moreover, if there is a slight problem with the impact of this thing, it will easily crack, and a stick will be destroyed.

Good sticks are not cheap, and if this kind of trouble happens often, it will be a big expense for him.This is also the main reason why he can't relax and practice now.

He knew very well that he was going to be in the third grade soon, and after that was the draft. After he entered the profession, the wooden bat was a must, and it was always better to get used to it early.

Yes, he has already thought about it!To enter the profession as quickly as possible!make money!

He is a single-parent family, and it is not easy for his father to provide for him to play, so he also wants to make money early to give back to his father.

It's just that what he thought before was to go directly to the professional baseball of Neon, but now... Chen Xin said that he always wanted to try the American career...

"Of course it's good." Chen Xin gritted her teeth and said, "What else do you need? Many old products can be brought over to supplement."

Hearing this, Miyuki became interested: "Ball! Do you have a ball? It doesn't matter if it's a little old, you can never have too many of these things."

As a member of the Qingdao baseball club, every penny of the baseball club is tied to the players.

Although Qingdao's baseball club is the "face" of Qingdao High School, the annual funds are still limited, referees for home games, expenses for expeditions, supplements for daily equipment, etc... which one does not cost money?

Therefore, the funds will never be enough, which has created a situation where the province has to save in many places, especially the ball. They usually have a lot of training, so the damage of the ball is also very fast.Not to mention that every home game will always lose some balls inexplicably. Once or twice is not much, but if there are too many times, it will consume a lot of money.

So you can never have too much of this thing, and the demand is very large.

"This is slightly different from your ball seams, is there any problem?"

It was the first time for Yuxing to encounter such a situation, so he didn't know: "I have to ask the supervisor and Xiaoli."

"The problem of hitting shouldn't be too big, but the pitcher's words are definitely not easy to adapt to. It will have some impact on the subsequent games. It's better not to use it. I heard from former pitcher friends that the impact is quite big."

This kind of situation is usually not encountered, after all, it is impossible to have any intersection in the usual games.A similar situation will only occur during the Japan-US All-Star Match.But many times, the American professional team uses its own ball, and the Japanese professional team also uses its own ball...

And one of the stitches is shallower and the other is deeper, and the difference in touch is quite obvious to the pitcher.

"By the way, who is the opponent in the next match?"

Miyuki laughed: "You seem to be particularly interested in the competition recently?"

In the past, I obviously had the mentality of playing casually with everyone. Although I still played well, it was right, but the last match against Wang Gu was obviously more outstanding, or...more serious Some?
This is very strange, because the target is Wang Gu. For Chen Xin, although it seems inappropriate to say so, with Chen Xin's ability, Wang Gu should not make him so focused.

"Yes, the state has been adjusted very comfortably recently."

"!!" Miyuki couldn't understand his state at all. After all, he seemed to always be at a level where no matter whether he was good or bad, he had no effect on his playing: "He Chengkong, if he wins this time, he will enter the finals."

"Who is the other group?" Although Chen Xin looked at the list, she had long forgotten it.

"City junior and pharmacist."

"Ah! Pharmacist, I remember this."

"Boom Thunder City~" Miyuki said with emotion, it's hard for this guy not to impress people with that terrifying power and sense of oppression.

Maybe it's because Chen Xin feels too familiar, or maybe it's because his state on the court is too casual, so if his stats are ignored, he doesn't feel too vigilant when he stands on the strike zone. It's actually kind of weird.

"No." Chen Xin was very impressed with the pharmacist, but not because of the violent little Hong Leishi, but because of their real ace Sanada Junpei.

As he spoke, he glanced at Yuxing's injured little book: "Speaking of it~ what are you doing holding this thing these days? I just saw someone wanting to see you and you avoided it, love letter?"

I heard that boys of this age like to write love letters very much. Is it romantic in the traditional era?

Yuxing blinked, he couldn't read other people's words for the time being, but he thought Chen Xin could do it, looked around, saw no one was paying attention, then whispered: "It's a slogan, I'm thinking of a new, super cool slogan. "

Chen Xin's whole body went numb all of a sudden, she shrank her toes, and inexplicably felt a little embarrassed: "Ah, huh?"
