soul of baseball

Chapter 340 After the game
Three games in a row, under the age of 19, the first farewell slam in WBC history... No matter which one is worthy of Shen Qin's bragging, but he is not in a good mood. If he was just playing baseball before, then this will My son has really stepped into the adult baseball world, and it is also the first time that he counts shots with such a calm mood.

In the locker room, Xi Chuanlong peeled off the candy stuffing and handed it to Shen Qin, then rummaged through the bag and threw the phone over: "News from Kou Chi."

The time difference between the two places and the college baseball season are already in progress, and I don’t have time to sit down and chat recently. Shen Qin really misses him at the moment. If Coach was here, he would definitely talk about it to make himself happy. Get up, uh~ Don't care about others, just play your own happy baseball or something~
Kou Chi’s message is just four words - I miss you~
Shen Qin rubbed his nose, the two haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and they didn't even have time to talk properly, forget it~ Don't be a hero in the future, it doesn't matter if you lose, go home early!
……

In the group stage, China had two wins and one loss in Group B, and the Japanese team had two wins and one loss. The points surpassed Cuba and Australia to advance to the rematch. The venue of the match is still the Tokyo Dome in Japan.

The two dark horses in this World Baseball Classic are Israel in Group A and China in Group B. The advanced teams in Group A and Group B are Israel, the Netherlands, China and Japan respectively.

And now entering the semi-finals, these two dark horses will fight each other, so who can make it to the end?

Both Huang Xiao and Dr. Yuan were extremely shocked by this result!In the group stage, South Korea and Taipei, the undisputed strong teams in Asia, were collectively defeated.

Huang Xiao sighed in the program: "We are so sorry! But this year's Israel and the Netherlands are not so much dark horses as they have shown their absolute strength."

Dr. Yuan also smiled helplessly: "Speaking of Israel, the Astros' super rookie this year is a Jew, but this time he chose to play for the US team. There are other good players in the team. But I'm actually not optimistic that they can pass the rematch , After all, Japan and the Netherlands are too early, the Dutch team looked at his infield depth, it is really scary! Probably only Puerto Rico can compete with their infield.”

"Huh?" Huang Xiao was a little surprised: "Dr. Yuan is not optimistic about the Chinese team?"

"In fact, their lineup this year is really nothing to say. There are players with many years of experience in the minor leagues, as well as super rookies like Xi Chuanlong and Qin Molina. It is a pity that the overall lack of hard work."

"Especially in the game against Australia, although the performances of the veterans were remarkable, I have always wondered why they didn't put Qin and Xi Chuanlong directly on the starting list. With them, especially Shen Qin's recent hot It doesn't make sense to feel it!"

Huang Xiao also agrees with this and talks about Yuri: "As the WBC progresses, everyone should have a deep impression of Qin Molina, also known as Shen Qin's super strong fight, so perfect Today, let’s get to know this beautiful young man who is only 19 years old.”

"It doesn't seem appropriate to say that you are a teenager?" Dr. Yuan smiled and said, "It's just a baby face, and it's right not to show your age."

The photos of Shen Qin and Yuri were laid out on the screen. Huang Xiao introduced: "I believe that the audience in Taiwan is not unfamiliar with the one on the right. He is the head catcher of the St. Louis Cardinals, and he is also a three-time member of the Puerto Rico team. The core of the WBC, of ​​course, his two older brothers also served as coaches and bullpen catchers with the team."

"Everyone knows that the Molina family is a legendary family in the major leagues. The three brothers in the family are all catchers in the major leagues, and they have all won championship rings in the World Series!"

"Then what about Shen Qin, Qin Molina, who is so popular in the WBC? Don't think that the surname is just a coincidence. He is the fourth member of the Molina family. Although there is no real blood relationship, he He is the adopted son of Yuri Molina, I don’t know if Yuri taught him well, but the talent shown at such a young age has already amazed everyone!”

"Of course, if it weren't for him being so outstanding on the court, I believe that the headline in Japan this time would be Ryu Nishikawa."

"Young people today are amazing!"

"Then everyone, look at this comparison chart now!" Huang Xiao pointed to the comparison chart of Yuri and Shen Qin's strikes on the screen: "This is Shen Qin's strike posture in this WBC, and this is Yuri's strike during the season. You can see that the posture is almost exactly the same. Well, it’s not surprising. After all, Shen Qin was taught by Yuri, but there is one very interesting thing. We broadcast the Cardinals’ games. Everyone should support Yuri. I understand that his hitting ability is considered very good among catchers, and he even won the silver bat award in 13, but he is not very outstanding among the real good hitters."

"But the Shen Qin he taught is amazing in this aspect. With the same flying ball play, the catch rate is very low. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that such a high elevation swing angle will be like this, so we can only It shows that his hitting skills are very mature and his judgment of the ball is accurate. Just kidding, I believe that when Yuri was his age, he was definitely not as good as him haha~"

Taiwan's commentary is always able to talk about various topics. Although Dr. Yuan is older, he can still feel the ridiculousness. Hearing Huang Xiao say this, he can't help but sigh that the children are getting more and more powerful: "These first Not to mention, what I'm most curious about now is why Shen Qin wasn't scheduled to start in today's game?"

"I hope the post-match interview can tell us the answer. Now let's turn to see what answers Shen Qin and coach Cavill will give."

Surprisingly, although there were more media in this interview, Shen Qin just blushed a little embarrassed, but the nervousness and fear dissipated, and he was able to calm down when facing the camera.

Moreover, everyone was present for this interview, with Cavill leading the interview, Shen Qin was very calm, and even a little curious about how he would answer.

"It's my reason." Cavill looked calm: "One is that the experienced old people are on the field to stabilize the morale of the army, but they are worried that the young people are not stable enough."

Shen Qin lowered his head and smiled, suddenly felt that what Yuri and Kou Chi said was too true, he should have learned how to speak long ago!Especially how to speak with your brain!

The reporter will naturally ask Shen Qin about starting the game, can it be said that the coach is playing the emotional card?He smiled and said: "Scheduling is what the coach has to do. I respect his scheduling. Maybe it's not impossible for me to make mistakes! Baseball is a very contingent sport, and the state of the players has an impact on the trend of the game. Very big, in short, the current result is good, this is enough!"

The Chinese media are very satisfied with Shen Qin's response. This time, the WBC China team not only achieved the expected goal, but also broke into the semi-finals by breaking everyone's glasses!

Especially with the loss of both Taipei and South Korea, it gave everyone a lot of confidence.

Only Xi Chuanlong had no emotional ups and downs. In his opinion, the rematch is the place where it is difficult to win a game. Except for the Japanese team that has already played against each other, the Netherlands and Israel have been recruited. Each is easy to deal with. The team that Taipei killed~ Tusk~ Difficult!
