Chapter 285 Japanese and American Cultural Conflict
After Pepe, Parnia, who was batting sixth today, was also caught by a curve ball and was out. At the end of the first inning, Missouri 1:3 Japan.

The meeting in Japan was held quickly, and the atmosphere in Missouri was very good because of the panda incident. Only Shen Qinxian and Lin Duo explained to the infielder together before going to practice: "If the ball is in my hand and your eyes are on me, don't look at the ball!"

This requirement is very strange. When newcomers are teaching, everyone has learned that when the ball is active, the line of sight is said to follow the ball.

And let's not talk about this, Shen Qin himself is in a very strange state now, where is the soft and cute Qin Qin who is easy to overthrow?
Marcel even touched his head and asked doubtfully: "It's not burned out~ Weird~"

Shen Qin angrily pushed Marcel's hand away: "Just listen to me, a big man is like a mother-in-law!"

Well? ? ?Marcel's mind was full of question marks, Shen Qin, who turned to leave before he could ask, was picked up by Coach, and turned to him with an angry round face!
Coach almost lost his composure: "Ahem~ Qin Qin apologizes. Speak nicely."

Shen Qin froze for a moment before lowering his eyes at Marcel: "Sorry, I said something wrong."

Marcel was stunned: "What's wrong with Coach!"

"He can't speak, he's studying recently." Coach pinched Shen Qin's face: "What else? Continue?"

"I'm angry!"

Coach didn't panic at all: "The task Yuri gave me, tsk tsk, don't blame me." Then he leaned close to Shen Qin and whispered: "Why do you do this and how to do it in detail? You have to tell everyone carefully. You can't order others, have you forgotten about Tanegashima?"

That's it... But how should I say it?Shen Qin understood, but it was still difficult to operate: "That... I... I... I didn't mean that... I didn't mean anything. That... That..."

The teammates looked at each other and burst into laughter. Lin Duo hurriedly slapped Coach's hand away, freed Shen Qin who was wearing protective gear, and pushed him out.

Shen Qin was even more embarrassed as he hugged the mask: "I'm sorry, sometimes I can't speak well, and the vocabulary is not organized well. I will try my best to change it in the future."

Now the teammates of the team are very friendly, and they seem to be friends after getting along. Shen Qin doesn't want them to hate him.

Lin Duoxiao was even more powerful, and it took him a long time to pat Shen Qin and calm down: "Haha~ Qin Qin, I used to think that Ai Li likes you, and you can get together too, cough~ It's normal for players' families to marry each other, you know Yeah~ But now I think your door is inappropriate haha~ I’m afraid that Aili will go crazy, and I’m even more afraid that you’ll cry~ Haha~”

Shen Qin is not happy. Compared with this person, how can he be so vicious?Crying?I am not a girl, and: "I have a name~"

"Qin Qin sounds so smooth. No wonder Coach calls you that. We also know that you are stupid. There is no need to explain in the future. I won't blame you. Don't listen to Coach's nonsense. Come here and help me warm up~"

Shen Qin could only squat down to catch the ball for Lin Duo who was walking up the mound. He also thought it was quite interesting. He would feed more and more pitchers to catch in the future, right?You don’t have to guard third base anymore, right?
……

After switching offense and defense in the next round, Shen Qin looked at Uesugi Hideo in the left field and was also a little puzzled. Is it for tactical replacement or just let him defend?

The first bat of the Japanese team was unexpectedly catcher Mizuno Makikyu. In the group stage, he went 3-4 in a single game. He was not that fast but his bat was very hot. The only bat that was eliminated was a sweet potato digger~ This is It’s interesting, I don’t know what ball to match it with.Use the secret code~Try the regular outside corner kick~

Mizuno Makihisa's attention was simply flying to the sky at this moment.He actually didn't think of this problem until after Shen Qin's blow.

During batting practice, everyone aims for the center of the ball, but there is no definite direction in which direction the ball will be hit.On the other hand, it's different here in Missouri. All right-handed hitters are aiming for center-right field, and the opposite is true for left-handed hitters.This ability to push in the opposite direction, which requires extremely high striking skills, is possessed by everyone?That's too scary.

For right-handed hitters, the swing path is from right to left, so it is easy to hit the center left field direction. Since it conforms to their own swing habits, it is relatively simple.But to hit the ball in the opposite direction to center right field requires the hitter to violate his own swing habits to accurately find the swing point.For players who have not received systematic training, it is very difficult to know where to hit.

But for the Missouri team, it is different. There is coach Quinn who has played professionally and has undergone a full set of training on the farm, and there are also Shen Qin who was personally taught by a famous arrester on active duty, and Coach who is touching the edge. The standardized training and the latest integrated data are all Take them to the whole team.Over time, the basic improvement will be immeasurable, and by avoiding some detours, we will save the effort to make corrections in the future.

"boom!"

nice shot!

Ah~ Mizuno Makihisa was taken aback, but he returned the ball.

Didn't swing the bat, Shen Qin thought about it and gave Lin Duo the secret signal for the slider, asking for a good shot!It doesn't matter if you don't swing, it forces you to swing.

The ball rushed towards the strike zone, and Makihisa Mizuno couldn't help swinging his stick!
"nice shot!"

The ball only lightly brushed the strike zone before running out.

Mizuno Makihisa, who swung a wide-open bat, knelt half-kneeling in the batter's box and looked at the pitcher's mound in surprise: How can this pitcher control the ball so well?In the group stage, they clearly had four bad walks, so in this game they only paid attention to the fireball man named Coach.

It can be regarded as seeing a ghost, that guy went back to guard the guerrillas again?Such a good pitcher is also insane!Isn't that coach stupid!
Of course Quinn is not stupid, it's just that Japan and the United States have different attitudes towards the game.

Of course, both respect the game and will go all out, but Japan cares about the present. As long as you shoot well, keep shooting. Not only the coach will do this, but as far as the players are concerned, they are also proud of finishing the shot, so That’s why so many great Koshien pitchers’ careers have had twists and turns and constant injuries.

Conversely, although the United States is also very concerned about the game, most coaches will set the number of balls with the ace pitcher before the game. No matter how good the pitch is, they have to be replaced as soon as this point is reached.Even if you encounter a rigid coach and don't change players, the players themselves will give their opinions. Everyone is looking at the future. Try to protect your arms and reduce wear and tear, so as to prolong your career and maintain the best condition.

Shooting and catching are consumables on the court. Pitchers use up their hands and backs, and catchers use up their hands and knees~ They can be regarded as a pair of difficult brothers. That's why Yuri opposed Shen Qin's squatting and catching during the five or six years when he was in good health. The purpose of being careful is to minimize the wear and tear on his knees and maintain the best condition.

Athletes' glory only lasts a few years, so they must take good care of themselves, otherwise what's the point of being like those short-lived geniuses?
