Chapter 288 The Nationwide Warranty of Pinching Faces (Don't Look at the Transition)
"Try Out and Out"

It's unbelievable that this kind of low-level mistake happened to the Japanese team, which plays extremely finely!
The scouts exclaimed even more, each team has researched Yuri, and Shen Qinna is simply a copy of him, which is really surprising!Is it really good not to let him squat and catch such a seedling?
……

"Today's condition is very good, try to save the number of balls! Come on!" Shen Qin struggled down from Marcel and Puychrome and patted Lindo.

Lin Duo couldn't stand it. What's this, come on? What are these official words for? He was probably really hurt by Coach: "Ahem~ You can tell me to keep going, or praise me for being awesome, uh~ come on. There’s no need, there’s no need to say anything about how you’re doing today or anything like that. You’re my friend, not a coach or a priest or a reporter. Hey, hey, what do you mean by that expression?”

Shen Qin looked at Lin Duo with bright eyes: "Really! Are we really friends? Are we really?"

"Yes yes yes! Of course." Lin Duo patted his head and walked to the side to wrap his arms to keep warm, and asked Coach who was sitting beside him in a low voice: "Is he always like this?"

Coach shook his head: "That's not true, he didn't talk at all before, uh~ it's not right, it should be said that he is not used to talking to others, I think Yuri is right, he should be forced in this situation, always better."

Lin Duo sighed: "I've read the reports about those things before~ He's like this now~ Does that family treat him very badly?"

Yes~ Kou Chi was a little annoyed when he thought of the injuries on Shen Qin's back and legs, and it was too strange, how could he stay in Florida with Xi Chuanlong for so long?The heart is so big that there is no limit!
Thinking about it, Coach suddenly patted his head: "By the way, you just shoot as he said. He has his own ideas about baseball in his mind, no problem."

Lin Duo was dumbfounded: "That kind of sweet potato digging is also counted? How about an incredible match?"

"It worked, didn't it? He is the best!" Kou Chi blinked and saw Shen Qin coming over and handing over the cup and stopped saying anything in this regard.Lindo also shut up at the right time.

Shen Qin didn't notice it at all. He leaned close to Kou Chi and asked, "Why don't you come and praise me?"

hehe!Coach dryly squeezed a smiling face out, he was excited and embarrassed when he was lifted up just now, a typical representative who shouted that he didn't want his body but was very honest~ What are you going to join in the fun?
"Speak!" Shen Qin pushed him: Didn't he get sick again and start a cold war?But there have been several precedents for this, and it will be reconciled anyway, don't worry, don't worry!
Kou Chi didn't know that Shen Qin's big heart was gone, and the idea of ​​scaring him disappeared when he saw the look of begging for praise, and he squeezed his face: "Amazing~ I always know you are amazing, But at this moment, the camera doesn’t know where it came from. Your crime 2 was filmed by the audience all over the country, oh no, it has to be seen by the entire Japanese audience, and then it will be recorded and broadcast to you..."

Shen Qin immediately slapped Kou Chi's hand away with sullen face, and faced the court with a cold face...

Ha~ Coach held back his smile and looked back at Lin Duo. He couldn't help it. Right now, there is a small activity in the stadium to interact with the audience. What are you looking at?The direction is wrong~
……

None of them expected that Kou Chi had a crow's mouth. Because it happened that Shen Qin made a magical pass and his teammates were booing him, the camera kept going this way, and the photographer didn't expect that he would catch him being pinched in the face. The scene was immediately frozen.

Shen Qin's angry, round face was torn apart, and Kou Chi's treacherous squinting was recorded.

There was a burst of laughter in the studio,

ESPN has always been a team of three ball commentators, two men and one woman. The male commentator Reedus is a recently retired major league player, Todd is a senior baseball commentator, and the female commentator Erica is a former softball player for the national team. .

Erica couldn't stop laughing: "I heard that the relationship between the two is good, but I didn't expect it to be so good, but the cutie looks a little unhappy, is it because of being pinched by Coach?"

"American children should be angry when their faces are pinched, haha~" Reedus watched with relish: "But what we can be sure of now is that Coach definitely did it on purpose."

Erica was a little surprised: "It's really strange to talk about Coach. I didn't expect him to be so good at pitching. But I received news before the game today. Someone said that they saw Coach and Xiaocuti using it when they practiced pitching." It's the left hand."

Reides raised his eyebrows: "Did your male fan say that on purpose to communicate with you?"

This kind of joke has always been an appetizer in the live broadcast, and Erica doesn't mind at all: "Unfortunately not, do you think it is credible? Everyone knows that in the last group match, Coach threw with his right hand. The ball speed of 100 mph is a veritable fireball boy, so if the news is true, wouldn't it be faster?"

"It's not uncommon for pitchers to shoot left and right." Todd thought about it before he spoke. He was the only one of the three who was engaged in this industry, so he would be more careful when analyzing problems, and he would not come to a conclusion easily: "If If the news is true, then it is also possible that his left hand is not dominant, after all, he is a left-handed hitter, and the batting rate of both sides is similar, so it is not easy to draw a conclusion."

Erica exclaimed: "He shoots from both sides. It's amazing. The key is the amazing speed of the ball. I really hope this news is true. Then we will see when he enters professional baseball, but there is still such a guy in Pennsylvania." A catcher can catch from both sides, and he can strike from both sides."

"Now the players are getting better and better, but the pressure is also a lot." Reedus himself has no chance of retiring from the major leagues, so he has a special right to speak in this area: "I have been in the minor leagues for 6 years."

"I almost gave up~ During this period, let alone the opportunity to go to the major leagues and then be demoted, I have never been called at all (notification does not mean calling the players.) Do you think I am miserable? It is really not enough Unfortunately, I was in Triple-A at the time, and the longest I stayed with the same team was 3 years. Grix didn’t make it to the major leagues until he was 13 years old.”

Baseball is a very cruel sport. Even if you are selected as the No. [-] pick in the draft, no one can tell what will happen in the future. (For example, the No. [-] pick of the Astros, I won’t mention the name, because I’m afraid of confusion when I use it later. Anyway, I quit within a few years. Tupo, who hammered the door in the locker room, is also very famous.)
Some people have never been to 2A, maybe they were pulled directly to the major leagues before they were 20 years old and never were sent down.Some people have fought for many years and may not have even touched the door of 2A. With extremely low salaries, they live a life that cannot even support their families.

However, there are naturally those who give up and those who persist, but persistence may not necessarily lead to good results.

Too many players graduated from high school or even thirteen or fourteen-year-old Latin American players have signed contracts and embarked on this unknown road.There are many hardships in it. When I reach my 30s, I really have no way to leave. Most likely, I can’t do anything else except baseball. It will be even more difficult in the future.

In fact, there is no difference between playing baseball and making music. I gave up too much for my dream.

For example, Wang Chao, the first player in China to sign with a major league, had a signing fee of $5 at the time, but he only stayed with the Seattle Mariners for two seasons, and then chose to return to China. The scary thing is that he couldn’t speak English at all at that time. , It is conceivable that there is no one to communicate with, it is sad and pitiful, and I heard that there was friction with the baseball association when I went out.

In fact, is there really no baseball talent in China?Yes, there are quite a few, but every spring training is not long before being called up to the national team to play again, and after a few years, it will end without a problem.

Shen Qin actually doesn't quite understand why he did this (I don't know if it will be harmonized.) Since he wants to practice hard, don't delay, even if his grades are a few years behind, he will definitely be better in the future.

What will the country do if it is called up one day in the future?

It's impossible during the season~ Shen Qin shook his head, half a bucket of water could not help others and would also cause himself to suffer meaningless consumption.Bah, bah, bah, it’s too early to say this now.

Thinking this way, he felt a little unhappy. His originally sullen face bulged, and he tugged at Coach's jersey: "Do you think I can help the national team play games in the future?"

Coach was very curious why he thought this way: "Of course, you are so good. But nationality is a problem. You were adopted at the time, and once you are here for a few days, you will change your nationality. You are with Ji Jia. I remember reading Didn’t Yuri say before high school, you’re here, forgot?”

How could he have forgotten, he was just a little confused, he was obviously a Chinese, but...

"I don't know what you are regretting." Kou Chi's hands were a little itchy, and he scratched Shen Qingu's rounder face uncontrollably, pinch pinch!Squeeze: "Ha~ You definitely want to go professional. Of course, if you don't have any injuries, you won't be able to go to the Olympics even if you are a Chinese citizen after you enter the profession. The major leagues don't let people go. Didn't you watch it?" The Japanese team, during the Olympics, their players in the major leagues also refused to be recruited, and the team would not agree, even if they were American players."

"However, there is still the classic match. This is the highest arena in the world other than the professional league. How good it is."

Shen Qin shook his face and went to break Kou Chi's hand: "Classic game~ I'm still afraid that people don't want me, maybe I get injured or something, besides, the team will let me go?"

"Are you stupid? The World Baseball Classic is hosted by the Major League Baseball and players are encouraged to participate. Speaking of which, why are you suddenly thinking about bringing glory to your country?"

"I...uh...oh forget it."

"Say it! Girls are coy."

"You~uh~ I'm on Weibo, oh, it's a social platform, I don't know how to describe it, I made an account..."

"Did someone scold you?"

"No, no, they don't know that I am me, no, they don't know that my number is me, that is, after we played against the Chinese team, some people on the Internet said that I am not patriotic or something, but in fact I am quite patriotic..."

"Huh?" Kou Chi was speechless. He knew Shen Qin very well. He looked dull and cold on the outside, but in fact, there lived a little doll who was a bit arrogant and always triumphant. The trumpet knows what to say with its ass, nothing more than 'I'm so awesome! Narcissistic words like ''I'm so powerful~''I'm the most powerful~'
"Ahem~ What does patriotism have to do with these things? Don't think about it. When you have the opportunity to compete for the country, it's too late for those people to praise you. Internet trolls are everywhere, oh~ I will too To spray, for example, my mother took a selfie with a picture, today’s wine is good? I will comment that you are obviously trying to show off the new pigeon eggs my dad bought for you~ Then I was scolded~haha~”

"Haha~" Shen Qin also laughed, it's nothing to dazzle the pigeon eggs.

"It's okay, don't surf the Internet indiscriminately, caring about what other people think is the most stupid."

"Oh~ Then what do you think of me?"

"Am I someone else?" Kou Chi stared!
"No~ it's not~"

……

"These two kids~ hahaha~ don't you know that the camera is always on them? Hahahaha~ I'm so laughing~" Erica was about to lie down on the table: "Little cutie is exactly what a child looks like~ I When my son is angry, he is exactly like him~ If I didn’t know the age, I would think that the little cutie was brought up by Coach.”

Riders touched the stubble on his chin and it was a bit funny: "I was first curious about what happened to make the little cutie unhappy. Lindo was also holding back laughter before he came on stage, haha~"

Todd quickly dragged back the two off-topic people, although ESPN's style is often gags, but the camera stopped for too long: "Ahem, the mentality of pitchers such as Guang and Taiyi is very fast. After losing so many points in one game, this round immediately recovered. Hey! Lin Duo also wanted to steal some points, oh~ Hikari and Taiyi responded very quickly, and directly dealt with the autobiography, perfect three ups and three downs , There is still a big gap between the ability to hit the line at the back and the front."

Erica can be regarded as having adjusted her state, and followed Todd's words.

Shen Qin in the lounge had already begun to put on protective gear. Coach helped him wipe his glasses: "Actually, it's better to wear contact lenses. I'm a little afraid of you wearing this to hit me."

"My eyes are much more comfortable wearing glasses. Every time I take off the invisibility lenses, I always have the illusion that I have to pull out my eyeballs, and if I forget to take them off, it will be more troublesome. There will be no problem. This kind of lens will not be broken."

"And I think I look good in glasses."

"Uh..." I couldn't answer these words, Kou Chi helped Shen Qin buckle the buckle on the back of the chest protector: "Their center bats time is really good to watch the video, pay attention when you match the ball, the ball must not Get high."

"I understand." Shen Qin put on his mask and pushed Kou Chi out of the lounge. His eyes swept over Yi Gangsi who was preparing to swing the bat on the court, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Qin liked this strong kid very much, and he was the one who asked him to help Uesugi Hideya at that time.

I remember that no one believed him in Hideya Uesugi’s pine tar incident, because it was his catching partner Ozawa Yu who revealed the incident. Only Ichigoji, who occasionally played once, came to see him~ It was him Good friend~
