Chapter 279 Battle against Japan
The first round of group matches is all over, and the winning and losing groups have been divided. The Missouri team will face the Japanese u18 Samurai team, the favorite to win the championship, in the next round.

The Warriors beat Southeast Florida 8-1 in the last round, and the latter fell into the losing bracket.

Most of the victorious U.S. teams in this tournament have fallen into a low ebb. Only Missouri, Mississippi and Maryland are left in the winning group. The remaining five teams are Japan, Puerto Rico, Germany, Venezuela and Mexico.

The Missouri team will then have three consecutive matches with the Samurai team, and the losing team will be eliminated directly.Because of the diarrhea incident among the pitchers before, everyone was strictly required not to leave the base at will, and not to eat at will.

Even a bunch of snacks that Coach brought were confiscated, and even his favorite milk chocolate was not spared, and he only said that he would supply it on time every day.

Coach Chi is about to die of grievance, why should his snacks be paid for the mistakes made by others.

Shen Qin didn't have time to comfort him at the moment, it was the roster of this year's Japanese Samurai that made him dumbfounded.Pitcher Hideya Uesugi?Light and Taiyi?Kikuchi Kikuta?There is another one I don't know.

I also know Yi Gangsi, the fourth player in the line~
Oh my god~ This is too coincidental, but Shen Qin was a little surprised that Hikari and Taiyi were in the team. I had partnered with him when I was in Japan, and he was a kid who couldn't distribute his energy. What about the catcher?Kondo Mitsuo, who was a junior in Japan, didn't come, so he changed to someone who can catch the butterfly ball. Tsk tsk, it's amazing that the junior in Japan took up two pitchers.

Hideya Uesugi was also watching the video of the game from the previous day. He was also very surprised when he saw Kou Chi and Shen Qin. He knew they were good, but this is in the United States, where the average strength is so high. , is also really powerful.

Kikuchi was very happy: "It turns out that he is so good in the United States~haha, this Coach will come to this trick, from guerrilla to pitcher? Hahaha?"

"Heh~" Guanghe Taiyi didn't like Shen Qin's state on the field. At that time, when they were sleeping together, he felt like he was the captain, and he was pointing out what he had learned~ Bah~ "Be serious, tomorrow Don't let the senior see the joke."

Kikuchisuke cheered, "Is Nishikawa-senpai coming to watch our game? That's great~"

Speaking of this, Hikari and Taichi are also very happy. The one he admires most is Senior Nishikawa. Unfortunately, he did not choose to enter professional baseball, but came to the United States to study in college~
I didn't usually reply to everyone's messages, but this time I took the initiative to say that I want to watch the game, so I'm usually too busy?

……

Xi Chuanlong came to the stadium very early, specially bought the position on the third base side, and even wore a cartoon hat on his head, he was extremely funny.

Seeing Shen Qin warming up, he waved his hand and called him.

Shen Qin was really taken aback. When he was in Taiwan, he made all kinds of mistakes on third base. What kind of moth is going to happen this time!
There are not many people entering the field at this time, and there is only Nishi Chuanlong on the third base side. Of course, the children running around behind are not counted. Those with gloves have already rushed to the auditorium in the left and right outfields, waiting for the hit Catch the ball during practice.

Shen Qin looked around and rushed to Xi Chuanlong and said viciously, "What are you doing here?"

Xi Chuanlong smiled and tilted his head: "What are you doing with your mouth open?"

What are you talking about?Just as Shen Qin was about to speak, sweet and sour candies were stuffed into his mouth, and he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

Xi Chuanlong gave a low laugh, and patted his bag: "I have a lot, but these are all made by myself, how does the taste compare with the previous ones?"

Did you do it yourself?Shen Qin looked at Xi Chuanlong's bag in surprise: "It's delicious~ it's more sour, I like sour ones~ can you give it to me now?"

It seemed so natural to put things away~ Peipei, who pretended to walk past Shen Qin, rolled her eyes, she was obviously paralyzed and shy at ordinary times, why is she acting so naturally with this person at this moment.

Feeling curious, he stretched and approached Shen Qin.

"Is there a secret recipe?" Shen Qin was curious: "I've bought a lot of lemon-flavored things, but they don't always taste like that."

"I won't tell you~" Xi Chuanlong pinched Shen Qin's face: "Squatting or defending third base today?"

"Squat arrest~~What are you doing? What are you going to do again?"

The suddenly vigilant Xi Chuanlong laughed: "I'm only a spectator today, okay? Of course I hope you win, do you want me to reveal some of their little secrets to you?"

"do not want!"

"real?"

"I can do it without any little secrets!" Shen Qin glanced at Xi Chuanlong and asked, "Parker, do you know? I saw a photo of him and your father."

"Which Parker? I know several."

The name of the American is also drunk, Shen Qin waved his hand and left the sentence and ran away.

Xi Chuanlong sighed and sat down. He liked Shen Qin's current appearance, but he didn't like his stubbornness in clinging to those things.

Before the game, there was quite a long period of batting practice. Firstly, the Japanese team, the visiting team of this game, was doing it. Most of the [-] and [-]-year-old boys were kicking their bats. The Japanese team was like this. Most of the players were slender and dark standing in the cage. Swing out, the sound of bang pong resounds through the ball that is still empty at this moment.

Still a Minor League Volunteer Field, with no seating in the outfield, just a padded outfield home run wall.

The spectators gradually filled up the seats one after another, and it was the turn of the away team's batting practice. (Modify order)

Marcel's blow was the most beautiful, the sound, movement, and distance were all beautiful. Even a large part of the audience who came to cheer for the Japanese team was attracted by his blow and gradually quieted down.

Looking at the bulging chest muscles under his T-shirt, Shen Qin is very envious. If I have a body like his, tsk tsk, I can definitely bring Kouchi down, and Yuri will never be able to lift himself up again. My God~ a 17-year-old 180 Jin guy~
When it was Shen Qin's turn to attack, the scene was very quiet. In fact, this Asian kid seemed too small among the players with 180 and 190 votes.

Shen Qin, who has grown to 173, is really a little nervous. In previous games, there was no strike practice in the evening, or an away game without spectators. This is really the first time.

The pitcher who fed the ball was the first base coach. He threw the ball very well and Shen Qin felt good about swinging the bat.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The dull hitting sound of wooden sticks is completely different from that of aluminum sticks, and it is more powerful.

The balls flew out of the wall one by one. There were many children running around on the lawn outside the wall, waiting to pick up the ball. The audience in the left and right outfields were mostly adults. The posture is very flexible.

Uesugi Hideo also leaned on the railing and looked at Shen Qin and Kou Chi. Just seeing the blow was a bit scary, so the person who is raging now is the nagging ghost who helped wash clothes and clean the room at home?
I can't imagine it at all~ I haven't seen it for a while, but I'm a little taller, but the baby fat on my face still hasn't disappeared, ha~ Is this going to be maintained to the end?
"Hideya is here to swing the bat~" the catcher of the same team, the main catcher of this year's Koshien championship team, Mizuno Makikyu shouted.

"Here we come." Hideo Uesugi also responded, and made a face at Kou Chi who was watching from the field~ Although he is definitely not going to play today, he might have the chance to play instead!
