soul of baseball

Chapter 20

A ruler is short and an inch is strong, Shen Qin now deeply understands this truth.

Although the old principal didn't tell the other teachers his identity, he still insisted on stuffing him into the school's baseball team.This made Shen Qin miserable.

If it is an assessment of medical knowledge, he can do it on the same day now.But his baseball skills, which are not even superficial, seem to be better than vegetables here!
For example, if the United States is the country of baseball!And St. Louis is the craziest city of them all!
There is no one in this city who doesn't like baseball from old to young!nature!Playing since I was a child, my skills are naturally good.So Shen Qin became the target of being abused!

God knows that he just felt that he had some talent in China!

The school has its own baseball field, and the kids on the team also receive professional training. This annoys Shen Qin, who is used to soy sauce, what about the relaxed and free learning environment?
Because Shen Qin was greeted by the old principal, coach Matt directly sent him to the catcher team. In addition to some normal training, he also had to practice fake pinning every day.

That means catching the ball, getting up, and pretending to make a pass.

Because in a baseball game, runners usually leave the base pack for a certain distance after hitting the base, in order to shorten the distance between the next base pack to the greatest extent, increase the success rate of hitting bases or find opportunities to steal bases!

At this time, the catcher's pinning action is very important. When the catcher takes the ball in his hand and makes a pinning motion with the intention of passing the ball side by side, the runner will obediently return to the base bag to prevent being caught Pinned out.

Of course, if you are confident in your arm strength and your timing is accurate, this action will not be a false restraint, but a real restraint!
When the ball is passed to the home fielder and touches the runner before the runner returns the base bag, this can directly kill the runner and put him out!

However, in the game, it is impossible to do this frequently to get up and check, so the lethality of the eyes is very important at this time!
one word! "stare"!
Staring at runners with bad intentions, they will probably restrain themselves when they realize that you are staring at them?
simple?No!
Because at the same time, the catcher has to take care of various tasks such as checking the signal with the pitcher, catching the ball, paying attention to the runner, and holding back. Closer or farther away!
It is simply the coach on the field!

certainly!A rookie catcher doesn't have to think about these things, the head coach doesn't trust you!
At this time, Shen Qin was a rookie among rookies, so he could only do these exercises day after day, and he couldn't even watch the exchange games between schools, so he could only sweat in the practice area.

The team members also believe in strength, so a rookie is naturally ignored. Although Shen Qin will not be isolated, he has no plans to make friends!

Fortunately, it is consoling that Ji Jia is back, and Shen Qin no longer has to face Xu Jia. He almost vomited from eating steak and corn crisps, and he was seriously rejected when he asked to cook by himself!It's been a rough day!
Although Ji Jia also has the word Jia in his name, he is much easier to talk to. Cooking, no problem, playing games, no problem, just not practicing football? NO!

"But if you practice, you won't have time to cook when you get home..." Shen Qin tried his best to widen his eyes and puff up his face, but it was the first time in his life that he failed to be cute, so Ji Jia pinched his face: "I'm afraid You are not used to it, I made an appointment with a part-time worker to cook before I came back, go to school obediently, and you will have delicious food when you come back!"

Everyone has done this, Shen Qin really can't find a reason, and as a psychologically mature man!If you want to skip training, one time is enough, and you will be a sissy if you do it again!
The word mother must never appear in his life!Especially after seeing two boys kissing in the school toilet, this belief is extremely firm!
……

Now that Ji Jia is back, she will naturally pick up Shen Qin from school.Shen Qin was also happy.

But when Ji Jia came to the training ground to pick him up in that flamboyant supercar, he really wanted to die.

Because the usually indifferent teammates asked him with wide eyes: "Your sister is so hot! Let's go play together this weekend!" Then he elbowed him: "Hey~ Let me introduce you!"

Shen Qin ignored him at all, he was completely stunned right now!Are you kidding me, where did the lively and lovely little sister (little sister) in my heart go?Even if you make it look dignified when you meet for the first time, that's fine!What is going on now?

Ji Jia got a big roll today, short T-pants, and a small waist with her abs exposed. She looks like a high school hot girl!Really~ Really~ Another teammate, coch, do you know that you are not yet an adult?

"How was your training today?" Ji Jia handed Shen Qin water, knowing that he was not used to functional drinks.

Shen Qin pulled people away: "It's not bad, it's all sweat, let's go back first."

Before Ji Jia could answer, Kou Chi already brushed his hair and said, "Hi~ I'm Qin's teammate Kou Chi, we often practice together."

Ghosts practice with you!Shen Qin rolled his eyes.

When Ji Jia heard it, he greeted Kou Chi with a smile, and then took Shen Qin away.

"He's taken a fancy to you." Shen Qin said in a muffled voice after getting into the car, "I said you're hot, don't dress like this from now on."

This made Ji Jia laugh: "The culture here is different. This is a compliment, just like complimenting me for being beautiful. Don't you think I'm not beautiful?"

There is no way to answer this, even if it is ugly!Besides, it’s really beautiful!
"Take it easy, you will get used to it slowly." Ji Jia looked at the flushed Shen Qin with some distress: "If you really don't like baseball, then you won't practice. What else do you like? But sports The project is still the same, whether it is good for your body or for making friends and integrating into the group."

Shen Qin shook his head: "I don't dislike it, it's just that I'm far behind other people's level!" This is really true. In fact, although baseball is a complicated sport, I really like it more as I gradually understand it.After all, with his physical strength in the past, playing basketball and playing the whole court is simply unimaginable. Baseball is different. Most of the time, there are actually no heavy-duty movements other than pitching.It's really suitable for a person who has no stamina like him.

Not to mention being in such a baseball town!All you watch and talk about is baseball, and you live here!How could you not love baseball!
"That's why I like it~" Ji Jia smiled cunningly: "Spring training has started, I'll take you to see it~ That's interesting!"

Shen Qin agreed in a muffled voice, going out to watch the football game is better than practicing at school, and I really want to see the scene in Houston again!
At this moment, he still doesn't know if this scene is not that scene!It's a whole different kind of close encounter!
　The next paragraph will start to talk about spring training. Friends who don’t know anything about baseball may be confused after reading this book, sorry!
