soul of baseball

Chapter 325 Main match, the first DH in life
The Chinese team defeated the Wizards 6;5 in the warm-up match. Shen Qin contributed a hit, and his teammates also contributed many hits. The morale of the team improved a lot.

But after that, Cavill no longer let Shen Qin play defensive strikes, and was only allowed to participate in defensive training.

The reason is that Carville, the head coach of the Cards, hopes that others will know less about him, so that he will not be targeted, and he may become a killer in a real game.

Especially that baby face can make people take off a lot of defense.

Even so, Shen Qin was still very unhappy. When he returned to the room, he lay down on the bed. He wanted to fight on the court!

Fortunately, Coach sent him a video invitation after training. People who hadn't played in a long time found some psychological balance by making fun of each other: "The baseball season has begun, and I can't go to the scene to cheer you on, but your I go to the games.”

"Hmm~" Shen Qin smiled and waved at the camera: "You have to fight hard!"

"I'm placed on third base now. I'll work harder and try to return to guerrilla next year. You should also perform well. Your performance in such a game will be seen by the whole world." Kou saw that the time was almost up. Chi just 'mua' at the camera, and then urged Shen Qin: "Come one."

But he didn't dare. Nishikawa Ryu was behind him, so Shen Qin had no choice but to give up: "I'm sorry, I have to fly to Tokyo tomorrow, and the official competition will be in two days."

"Looking at your schedule, the first game is not easy to play! Be patient! You must be patient, just play happy baseball."

Happy baseball is a stalk. For example, when a team is tortured by blood and unable to recover, it can only play happy baseball!

Shen Qin curled his lips, said good night and hung up the phone, which made Kou Chi speechless on the other side of the earth, who was still in the daytime, he just wanted to take a nap!
In the first game, China will face Cuba, which is too difficult.

Due to political factors in Cuba, there are no players in the United States except for smuggled immigrants, but this does not mean that they are weak!
On the contrary, baseball in Cuba can be said to be equivalent to national football, and it also has its own baseball league. The technology can be said to be quite high. In addition to the Japanese and Australian teams in Group A, the Chinese team is divided into this kind of team. It can be said to be the group of death!

One win!It's really tough!

Baseball is of great significance to Cuba. Although it was introduced from the United States, of course the Spanish colonists demanded that baseball should be banned and they had to go to the bullfight to arouse the public's sense of resistance, and then it naturally became a national sport. (The country should know Cuban volleyball very well. Maybe the original national player will disappear next year, so he has smuggled to the United States.)
Putting aside the national complex, playing baseball is really a shortcut to change your life, in order not to be poor anymore!As long as you get good grades, you can go to mlb, npb, etc.~
It is the junior high school where many children play ball that can make the family's life better.

I just want to die for Jose... Thinking of Shen Qin, it's no wonder why this kind of thing happens when he becomes famous and earns money...

"What are you thinking about?" Lying on the bed, Xi Chuanlong patted beside him: "Come here and give me a hug."

Shen Qin rushed forward, not forgetting to complain: "My brother is on the bed~hmph~"

……

After the warm-up matches with Japan and Cuba, the first game of the Chinese team will be against Cuba at the Tokyo Dome. .

Rao has watched it many times and Shen Qin still can’t understand why the auditorium in Japanese baseball stadiums is only one floor (mostly). This is not the case in various MLB home courts. Many people even jokingly call the cheapest seats on the top floor the rooftop!
Nishikawa Ryu's explanation is that the Japanese like to cheer with everyone dancing together. If it is like MLB, it will be over if it collapses.

But I don't know if it's really Shen Qin.

What Shen Qin couldn't stand the most was the stadium of the Dome. Their infield was also made of artificial turf, only the small circle where the bases were located had soil, which was visually unaccustomed.

But this place has no choice, every team except the Japanese team should be the same as me.

Shen Qin became even more depressed after warming up. Shen Qin had never played on an artificial turf court. Compared with natural turf, the ball bounced and rolled at completely different speeds.

At least a ball that was supposed to roll for a certain distance in 2 seconds would finish rolling in 1 second on this court.

Cavill was not worried about Ryu Nishikawa, who grew up in Japan, but he was very worried about Shen Qin, and blamed him for not thinking of this at first. If he hadn't noticed it during the warm-up, he might not be able to react when he waited for a while to play.

"Are you all right? Do you want to wait until the next game?" The coach asked players, especially rookies, which was incredible.

"No, it's okay!" Shen Qin waved his hands. He was not used to the coach's attitude. The previous coaches were the type who would just do whatever they told you to do. Whether you resist or not is another matter~ahem~
"I have no problem!" To fight for it, both Coach and Xi Chuan have said that on the court, when they have not played well, they must fight for it: "Really, I am very adaptable, and I probably know the artificial turf. Just make a comparison and see the difference."

Xi Chuanlong pursed his lips, he knew Shen Qin was telling the truth, but Coach Cavill didn't know, would he agree?
"Okay! But you can't go on defense today, let's play DH!" The left field was originally assigned to Shen Qin, but this game is very important. According to expectations, the possibility of Japan winning that game is very low, and Cuba can still fight. , Australia is the most important.Cavill isn't going to take any chances.However, the child on the opposite side puffed up his face, and his expectant eyes made him a little bit unbearable~ What's more, his strong hitting ability is really needed by the team.

"Well~" Shen Qin was a little disappointed, but as long as he could play~ Xi Chuanlong, who was guarding third base, grabbed his hand, and the matter was settled: "The stick is the most important thing to support the pitcher, you should be serious .”

"I've always been serious on the field!"

Xi Chuanlong touched her head: "Then why are you puffing up? Fugu, don't blow yourself up!"

"I'm not happy." Shen Qin pointed to the closed roof of the stadium and was a little worried: "What counts if the ball hits the top?"

Shen Qin has been in St. Louis since he arrived in the United States. The Cardinals' home stadium, Bush Stadium, has no roof, which is really depressing.

Xi Chuanlong rolled his eyes, feeling that this action really damaged his own image, and pinched his nose: "You shouldn't have asked, now the coach has finished communicating with the chief judge." Shen Qin went down from the lounge to the bathroom, his face I can't hold back the laughter on the Internet, I'm playing on behalf of you!I'm so unaccustomed!
Uh~ I used to brag to Yuri even though I was good, but I never played dh until I got older~ I didn’t expect this day to come when I was 18 years old!
"I'll just say it~ I may not hit you"

　Dh instead of pitcher strikes, National League doesn't have it, American League has it.
