Chapter 265 Playing against the Chinese team

"Why don't you speak anymore?" Matthew stretched his neck: "No more?"

How should I answer this? Shen Qin looked sideways at Matthew's bright eyes and realized that he had been tricked, and said with a straight neck, "No more."

"real?"

"Ah~ That's such a pity, I wanted to give it to you."

Believe it or not, Shen Qin got up and ran upstairs, brat.

……

The first game between the Chinese team and the Missouri team was held at the Volunteer Stadium. Although the stadium can accommodate a small number of spectators, it was full and quite lively.

But I don't know if the audience is waiting for the next more exciting US-Japan war.

At this stage of the game, it will be even more troublesome. Without the length of time between the qualifiers, it will be very difficult for pitchers to schedule.

The batting time has also changed. 3B Shen Qin and 1B Pui Chrome are still the first and second bats, the third bat is changed to SS Coach, and the fourth bat is still the strongest and the darkest. Er, 2B Pepe was transferred to five bats, six seven eights were C Sidia, CF Pania and RF Pilar, and the ninth bat was the pitcher's bat.

Coach Quinn put the victory and defeat in the early at-bats, hoping they could take some pressure off the pitchers.

However, the players were more excited than nervous. There were quite a few scouts on the court, and they had to show their skills to attract their attention.

Different from the randomness of other competitions, this time a necessary salutation link has been added.

The broadcast introduced the coaches and players to enter the arena. Shen Qin followed closely behind the coach as the first bat, and the whole person was very excited. 2013.8.18, the first real international competition in his life!

After bumping fists with his teammates one by one, Shen Qin felt that his heart was about to burst out, from now on!must!There will be countless such events, next year!He wants to stand here too!

"Third baseman~Meng Yuan~" Shen Qin was stunned when the broadcast reported the third baseman of the Chinese team. Why did he have such a familiar name?
Team members from both sides greeted each other and exchanged souvenirs. Shen Qin handed over a beautiful badge, with the Tiananmen pattern covered by a transparent glass surface.

"Thank you~" Somewhat awkwardly handed over the most common Cardinals badge, and couldn't help but regret it even more. If he had known that he would be in a group with the Chinese team, he would have brought the most beautiful one.

"Shen Qin? Am I right?"

Shen Qin raised his head in surprise, the dark and thin tall boy showed his big white teeth, eh?Who is this?

"I'm Meng Yuan! We played together in the Little League team for some time."

Meng Yuan?That little fat man?Shen Qin's eyes widened, are you kidding me? "Why are you so thin?"

"I just wanted to ask why your face is so round? Hehe! You have gained a lot of weight?" Meng Yuan squeezed his eyes and took the badge: "You look better when you are fat, you were too thin before!"

Who said he was round-faced?Who are you calling fat?Shen Qin's eyes widened.

Meng Yuan hugged Shen Qin and said, "I told you, see you at the Little League game!"

Tsk!Shen Qin looked at Meng Yuan's slender back and touched his chin: Why do everyone get rounder as they grow longer?no!Gotta get my weight under control!

"Not fat! Just right." Coach came closer and said, but the smile in his tone couldn't be concealed: "You just have a round face."

Shen Qin, who was never bothered by "fat" in his previous life, was going crazy, and glared at Kou Chi angrily: "I'll settle the score with you after the game~"

"Ha~"

……

The Chinese team took the lead in the game, while the Missouri side still started with the ace Linduo, and Quinn gave the number of goals before going on the field.

The first bat of the Chinese team is Meng Yuanyuan, who was once fat and now thin.

Shen Qin's eyes fell on him who was playing left, and he was very surprised. He remembered that the two laziest people in the Little League were him and himself.

But at that time, it was because I was not interested in baseball, what about him?Genius?And it doesn't look nervous at all~ Amazing!
nice shot!

Meng missed the first ball by a long shot.If he knew what Shen Qin was thinking, he would definitely curse.Don't be nervous~ He was almost nervous to death.

On the one hand, China defeated Taiwan for the first time and qualified for the competition. Everyone wanted to perform well.On the one hand, there is a Chinese on the other side, and there was such news before, what the team members said in private was not very nice, he hoped that Shen Qin could play well, but he still knew what level the other party was at the beginning, even after practicing until now Rookie, wouldn't it make people laugh even more if they were badly beaten?

But the strange thing is why it is also the first one?

"Bang!" Good shot!
Meng Yuan was distracted, and Lin Duo had already led by two strikes, so he hurriedly returned his attention.No matter what, you have to do it yourself first!

"Pong!"

The ball was picked up and flew far away~
home run?The Chinese team, which qualified for the competition for the first time, hit a home run with the first hitter! ! !

Meng Yuan couldn't control the boos at the scene, he just looked dumbfounded at the flying ball, why is the ball so light?Is it really the starting pitcher?
Could it be that he performed beyond the standard?

Sidia, who was squatting behind the home plate, also frowned. When the first two balls went into the glove, he felt something was wrong.

There are two situations in which a pitcher is blown, one is that the hitter is too strong, and the other is that the pitcher misses the pitch. Now it is obviously not the former, nor is the latter...not like.injured?

But it was still fine when you warmed up and practiced throwing just now?
Looking up at the mound, Lin Duo shook his head slowly.

fine?Cidia looked at the dead-faced Lindo and hesitated. If you have any questions, you should tell the coach right away. No matter how bad you are, you should go to the mound and ask. But Lindo and him have had the best relationship since they joined the team. Should I wait a little longer?
Looking hesitantly at the lounge, Quinn didn't have any instructions: Then try again, it's just a one-point lead, don't worry.

Xu Shi's home run at the first bat gave the whole team confidence, and the Chinese team also hit a hit with the second batter, and reached the first base steadily.

Cidia wanted to call a timeout to go to the mound to have a look, but seeing that Lindo didn't show any pain, and he couldn't figure out whether he was injured, so...try again?

Shen Qin, who was on third base, was a little anxious. After training as a catcher for so long, he was always worried about Sidia's attitude.

The catcher is in control of the pitcher. He does what he has to do. What's going on with the attitude of the pitcher?It's putting the cart before the horse!
And the current situation on the court is not right at all. Who else knows what kind of pitcher Lin Duo is better than the catcher who gets along with him day and night?
Even if you can't make a decision by yourself, give the coach a hint!

Shen Qin touched his elbow towards the lounge, hoping that Quinn could call a timeout to go up and take a look. Even if he was not injured, he could give Lin some more time to slow down. Any pitcher who starts the game in this state is not emotional at all. impossible.

However, Quinn shook his head. The kid from Yuri's family is usually obedient, but he is particularly difficult to talk when he is on the court.

Of course, he also saw that Lin Duo had some problems, but he hoped that he could find his own form.

One is that the number of times a coach can go on the mound is limited, and the other is that the problem of the schedule can be saved if there is some change in pitching, otherwise it will be difficult to play the next game when the pitchers are tired.

And the game has now entered a double-elimination elimination system. Lin Duo is really going to explode. He can afford to lose even if he loses a game. He hopes to reduce the burden on other pitchers.

After all, as Lin Duo has always been a starter, he must have no problem with the number of innings, but other pitchers are not sure about it.

　It freaked me out, just saved the computer and jumped a bit~~~
