soul of baseball

Chapter 257 Don't Read the Prelude to Working

As soon as Coach left, Alex, who "hasn't come home" during the conversation, turned out of the cloakroom: "This kid is precocious, and has a bad temper since he was a child. It's not easy to have a real friend. Al, you are the best, I said If not, he'll just twist around."

"Ha~" Al, who was originally speaking intermittently, now speaks much more smoothly: "If you want me to cooperate in acting, you two brothers are really..."

"Haha~ I can't help it, who made him love you the most~"

……

And here, Shen Qin looked at the gentle Kou Chi, and his heart was so sour: "Didn't you tell me what I did wrong before, you have to tell me, otherwise I don't know~"

Kou Chi sighed. In fact, he understood that this was not a fault, but a character problem caused by his defensiveness, but he didn't want to talk about it at the moment. Looking at the blushing Shen Qin, he also laughed: "Actually, you don't call Give it to me, and I'll come to you too."

"What do you mean?"

Coach became serious: "We have to talk about Parker's problem, he and Ji Jia..."

Shen Qin jumped up as if being stabbed: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I haven't said anything yet, just sit down! Hey, you've seen them too..."

"In short, since Parker appeared, Ji Jia has not been in a good mood." Shen Qin was not very happy: "When did you meet? Did you tell anyone? Yuri..."

"You're thinking wrong! Listen to me first!" Kou Chi was speechless. Shen Qin had misunderstood their relationship, so he described what he saw when he went to pick up Ji Jia that day: "He and Ji Jia don't know each other. In a relationship like that, don’t think nonsense, it would be really bad if Yuri knew it and thought nonsense!"

This is what Shen Qin was afraid of, so he nodded hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I know, okay, don't worry, let's analyze Parker first."

"How to analyze?" Shen Qin remembered that he reminded the two to keep a distance before, why now he feels that he has fallen into a pit instead?But at that time, it was because Parker was too thoughtful and too far-sighted, but what about now?

Coach took Shen Qin upstairs and turned on his computer to log into his mailbox: "I ran into him the other day after arguing with Ji Jia, and he kept asking you questions. People are really in trouble."

Shen Qin took a closer look and was dumbfounded: "It's so detailed... Who did you ask for it, did you spend money?"

"Wikipedia, stupid! Anyone who played baseball has records. Didn't he say that he played in Springfield 2A? Although it's been a long time, and he was injured not long after he entered the profession, there are still some clues. of."

Coach said and pulled the page to the bottom and clicked: "I specially saved it in the email. Look here, the car accident caused head injury, elbow ligament tear, etc... The body could not withstand high-intensity training and chose to retire. Do you remember some of his little moves? Touching his elbows from time to time and the like."

"Even if the ligament is replaced, now that medical science is so advanced, there are more pitchers who have returned to their peak after surgery, not to mention that he is only an outfielder, and his rehabilitation should be easier."

Shen Qin was stunned: "Car accident? Brain injury? What does this have to do with me and Ji Jia?"

"It doesn't look like it has anything to do with you, but look at this photo~ the photo of the high school team."

From the photos, it can be seen that Parker in the middle should be very popular, but why are they all Asians~ Nishikawa Shin?hell!
Even in another 100 years!Shen Qin believed that he could still recognize this devil at a glance!
Shen Qin couldn't help trembling, the pain this devil inflicted on him was too much: "Didn't the supervisor of the Tanegashima Central High School baseball team say that he is a college student...why...why would he be with such a person... ..."

Coach patted his head: "Don't be afraid, I asked Erics to help me when I saw this photo. Don't worry, I just said that I was curious. After all, he has a lot of connections and is more convenient in this circle. Also Thanks to him finding a Japanese friend to go to the school in the photo, PI (renamed after being warned) we played against each other, and I recognized the team logo immediately~ It really proved that Parker was an exchange student in high school Studying in this school~ Naturally, I got the roster at that time, and when I saw Xichuan, I searched for relevant content."

"Nobushi Nishikawa, that is, the father of Ryu Nishikawa, your previous adopter was one of Parker's teammates at the time, but later Nobushi Nishikawa did not participate in the draft, but came directly to the United States to participate in the ball team test, after passing, he was in the minor league After being around for a few years, I returned to Japan when I couldn’t make any grades, and switched careers to do business.”

Shen Qin trembled all over: "In other words, the two of them knew each other from the beginning, so Parker also wanted to do something when he contacted me, or Xi Chuanxin was behind it...his friend is also a pervert! Definitely!!!"

"What the hell are they trying to do!"

"Why do you do this to me~ I like my life now! I don't want to go back! Don't!!!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid~" Shen Qin hadn't been ill for a long time, but now seeing some signs of collapse, Kou Chi hurriedly patted him to comfort him.He didn't want to tell Shen Qin about this at first, but he was afraid that if something happened or if Yuri misunderstood, someone would help explain it, so...

Shen Qin finally calmed down gradually, but he was still very uneasy: "Will Parker... want to take me away, or will Ji Jia not want me... I don't want to go, I can just grow up... ..."

"No, no!" Kou Chi pressed close to Shen Qin's forehead: "Definitely not, and we still don't know what's going on. In fact, it's best to ask Yuri for help, or his agent ? The people in the circle must be much clearer than us.”

"I don't believe you!" Shen Qin lowered his eyes: "The only one who ignores me is you."

Ha~ "You made the mistake first, if you change it, I will definitely deal with you." Kou Chi was a little embarrassed, it was really hard to resist the unconscious coquettishness of Shen Qin, so he quickly turned his head away: "Even if you are not a friend anymore, I will still help you if you need anything."

"Not a friend?" Shen Qinshun raised his head: "If you weren't bigger, you thought I wouldn't teach you a lesson?" He said, grabbing Kou Chi's wrist: "Oh! I really thought I couldn't beat you, so I'll stop you Can't live with you anymore?"

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, Qin Qin!!!" Kou Chi squatted down in pain, his forearm stretched out straight: "I mean even!! Hey, hey, hey, that's not what he meant! Oh, why are you so big? strength!"

"Chinese Kungfu! Hmph!" Shen Qin let go of his hand: "If you provoke me again, I will be cruel!"

Kou Chi lowered his head and pursed his lips, he couldn't hold it anymore, hold back!Make him proud.

"So~ it's reconciliation, right?" Shen Qin squatted in front of Kou Chi, his arrogance lowered again: "I...I don't like a person..."

"No!" Coach was surprisingly firm on this point: "What will you do if you don't correct your selfish bad habits? University or professional, it is easy to offend people, no one likes you, and no team will want you! I It is impossible to help you by your side forever."

"I don't want you to be alone all the time except to play, or what do you think the chances are that the two of us will be drafted by the same team?"

Shen Qin was stunned. First, he didn't expect Kou Chi's purpose~ selfish words, or too selfish to describe it is more appropriate, and the second is to enter the professional baseball.

I'm so used to Kochi being by my side, if one day we separate... I can't even think about it.

The MLB draft system is unlike any sport.The draft pick is determined by the team's record in the previous season. The worst team gets the No. [-] pick, and then the order goes down.

This is also a good way to maintain the balance between the teams, so that the strength gap between the teams will not be widened with age!
Baseball is completely different from the other four major sports. Even the No. [-] pick has to start in the minor leagues (I remember only Molina’s former pitching partner, Mike Leake is a pitcher who is super good at hitting, which is a manifestation of his lack of immediate combat power.

At the end of the round, the teams will be drafted in turn. It is obviously a dream for two high-profile players to join a team.

Of course, you can still refuse after being selected. After all, being selected does not mean signing a contract. The team is only qualified to sign a contract with a player.

But if the signing is not completed, then the next draft will have to wait until three years later.Because one of the draft rules is that players who participate in the draft must be high school graduates or have completed three years of four-year university studies. In addition, there are no prescribed academic requirements for those who are 21 years old or enrolled in junior colleges or community colleges.

Then some people may say that don't go to a four-year university.But it has to do with the grading of college competitions. Who doesn’t want to play D1 (first-level league, I don’t know if the translation is correct. The specific related protagonist will be introduced after he goes to college. Yes, he is going to college).

Players who play first in D1 will be more attractive to scouts, and they will be more likely to be selected in better rounds in the draft. Of course, these are also directly linked to the signing bonus.

Is it ten thousand dollars or millions?

No one would choose the former.

Of course, if you don’t sign a contract all the time, you will become a free agent after graduation~ As a player without professional experience, it is basically even more impossible to get a lot of signing money.

Shen Qin squinted his eyes, he knew what Kou Chi said was reasonable, but it wasn't like there was no chance at all, it could be...

"Put away your crooked thoughts. You can't cheat in baseball. That's not only sorry for yourself, but also for Yuri!" Coach looked at him with an unhappy look: "If you dare not take it seriously, we'll see."

Shen Qin was really thinking about whether it would be okay if he beat him up indiscriminately... Unexpectedly, he was threatened before he could say anything.

"But I don't want to..."

"It's okay if you don't want to." Kou Chi bowed his head: "Are you still afraid of being alone?"

Shen Qin thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "I'm not afraid, but I don't like it ~ eh, that's not right, I used to enjoy being alone, but you can't take me into the crowd and run away? Are you responsible? ?”

"I can't be responsible now!" Kou Chi took Shen Qin to the door for comparison: "I have grown taller, wait for Yuri to come back and ask him about strength training, oh yes, do you want to make money? "

Of course I want to make money, Shen Qin immediately became interested: "Is it a part-time job? What do you do?"

"Don't think about it?"

Shen Qin grabbed Kou Chi: "What are you thinking about? I want to make money by myself quickly, so I have to send it to them. But it has to be outside the training time."

Coach knew that he didn't want to use his family's money to pay for his accident, and he wanted him to get along well with Al. He believed that the two of them would get along well. Haha, he should have thought of this method a long time ago.

"I have a job~Based on hourly salary~"

"Of course! This is the best." Shen Qin looked at Kou Chi later: "What kind of job? Where is it? If it's too far away, it won't work. Ji Jia won't agree."

"Help take care of Al." Coach lowered his tone: "Talk with him or something, this time it will take three or four days to go back and forth to the game, and Alex will start practicing recently, and he will join the team next year The test, a bit busy."

Looking at Shen Qin's tangled appearance, he added: "Look, my grandparents have been traveling recently, and my parents are not at home. It's just right for you to go. Al is easy to get along with. Don't worry about anything else. Besides, it's your first time to go out to work. , I think it’s better to stay at my house, otherwise Ji Jia might not agree.” Even if she agrees, I have to say she disagrees~
Shen Qin thought for a while and shook his head: "Since it's your house, I'll just go and help, no money needed..."

Even if he didn't want to go now, Shen Qin didn't want to reject Kou Chi. The relationship between the two had just eased up a little, and he didn't want to get stiff anymore.

"You can take the money at ease. If I lie on the bed and ask you to take care of me, I will definitely not give you money. Al is different. My brother will pay for it."

That's it, seeing how gentle Erics was with Arna, Shen Qin believed it, and agreed: "When will it start?"

"Tomorrow, anyway, you have nothing to do during the holidays, so don't do anything other than Al's business. Don't touch the water when your hands are not well!"

Although it was warm in his heart, Shen Qin still wanted to appeal. He used to feel comfortable going to Kou Chi's house because there was no one else at home, and his grandparents were also cute and interesting. He was used to it, but now there are two more strangers. At once……

"Can I wait until you come back...I'm too embarrassed to go there."

Coach narrowed his eyes: "You don't want to go or do you want to regret it?"

"No. It's not like that."

"Then go there early tomorrow morning, but when you come, I should all go with the team, you come on, it's okay, neither of them is troublesome."

Shen Qin was really entangled: "Can't I go to the game?"

"Okay, then let's forget about your work?"

Alright~ I still chose to work, Shen Qin reluctantly went downstairs to tidy up the table, while Kou Chi unceremoniously opened the cabinet and went to take a bath with a bathrobe in hand.

Shen Qin obediently agreed to the part-time job and asked him to complete at least half of the plan. If he is in a good mood, he will stay overnight~
Little did he know that Shen Qin, who was outside the door, watched the bathroom door close before walking briskly downstairs. It was true that he didn't want to take care of Al, but it was also true that he wanted Coach to stay. He had to find a way to keep the two of them from getting too close.

Shen Qin hopes that Kou Chi can have a healthy partner, and that the two of them will have a smooth and happy life... But Al's body is really bad, and he should be sad if something happens in the future.

There are no rare cases of vegetative people passing away within a few years after waking up, maybe I should check carefully.

　I don't understand why the pitcher hugs the catcher, obviously the catcher has thicker legs
