Chapter 357 Baseball Relies on IQ

Kominatohara's sinker is very beautiful, with a nearly perfect large-angle oblique vertical drop, and it changes only after hitting the base~ Shen Qin directly saw two strikes.

The coach in the waiting room was a little nervous. From the Terminator against the Netherlands last time, it can be seen that Shen Qin is not very good at playing this kind of ball.

Not good at it?Shen Qin exited the strike zone and pinched his nose, he just wasn't used to it~ The sinker he touched the most was Coach's second seam, which was actually more complete than Minatohara's, but his speed was too fast. If you want to hit the hit, you really have to guess the base point.Whose ball is faster?
It's a pity that I used to catch and catch, and never stood on the strike zone to observe the ball.

Yuri has also said in the past that if you are not sure about Carter and the sinker, which are extremely complete, try not to swing the big bat. Instead of hitting an infield grounder, it is better to hope for a lucky hit.

"Huh~" Shen Qin puffed up his face and pressed the helmet, moved his stick hand forward slightly, and leaned his body back. Since he didn't want a big stick, he didn't need that striking posture.

"boom!"

bad ball~
The ball went into the catcher's mitt, and Shen Qin didn't move.

Xi Chuanlong caught the ball thrown by the catcher and walked around the mound.He guessed right, Shen Qin's ability to pick the ball is very good, first find out the good ball zone of the quasi-god, then the corner ball may not be picked up, and it is obviously ineffective for him to use bad balls to tantalize his appetite of.

I can only deal with it with good shots that are not easy to hit~ It is too troublesome!
Xiao Minato didn't like Shen Qin at first, so there was no misunderstanding or encounter.It's all because he is practicing in the United States, and he is a friend of his cheap brother, Xiao Zuize.

Everyone says that the average day job is only equivalent to a 2A/3A level in the major league farms. Is this really the case?Are the skills I honed in Japan really useless in the United States?

They asked for the second suture, so they learned it according to the teaching video. Is there any reason why the Japanese's second suture is worse than the American's second suture?
Isn't he hiding this ball just waiting for this moment?

Thinking of the surprise of his teammates, scouts, and fans on the field, Minato couldn't help but smile, and challenged the major leagues!The Japanese don't have to bow their heads and start small!
Look at Lang Shen!There will be more Langshen in Japan! (Japanese outfielder Suzuki Ichiro’s record of [-] safety has not been broken. Altuve, who was originally the most promising National League MVP + hit leader last season, is hopeless this season due to injuries~)

"Pong!"

The ball was hit high, Shen Qin put down his stick and ran slowly to first base, the infield flew high, it was over!

"Crack~" The ball gently fell into Minato Hara's glove~ Three ups and three downs easily won the first half of the first round.

"Xiao Mina's brother is amazing~" Shen Qin put on the infielder gloves excitedly: "I'm not used to changing gloves back and forth."

While wrapping the tape around him, Xi Chuanlong reminded him: "Don't fight hard, don't focus on the home plate, sometimes it's worth losing a run, first catch a number of outs, your task today is to pass and kill the first base!"

Shen Qin didn't quite accept it: "This kind of game, if it's only one point difference in the end, you will be pissed off."

"I'm just saying this because I'm afraid you might be unfamiliar with it. The Japanese team is very troublesome in terms of stealing bases and scoring points. No matter what instructions the coach gives, you just step forward. Focus on defense!"

"Then what if you pass through?"

"Just go through it. There are guerrillas and center fielders around you. It doesn't matter much. Your more important task is to prevent others from getting in the circle."

Shen Qin nodded, and didn't think there was any problem in not listening to the coach.He likes to listen to other people's analysis and judgment, even if he is wrong, it doesn't matter, at least that way he won't make repeated mistakes when he encounters the same situation in the future.

The second baseman occupies a large position in the infield defense, requiring flexibility, agility, and precise judgment.At the same time, it can coordinate the cooperation of passing and killing!
Should he pick up the ball and pass it to the guerrilla filling in for second base and then pass it to first base, or should he give up first base and step on the second base ball?Or judging whether a pass can be passed to third base?

If the judgment is not good, you may not be able to hit third base or hit first base.

Yuri usually mentioned this when he was training himself at home to cover first base and pinch kill methods when squatting.

The second baseman in the Cardinals is King Kelton, the brother of the current King Joey, and most of his skills are smooth.He is not tall but very fast. In high school, he was also the running back of the school football team!

His judgment is amazing. When the ball falls, he has already judged whether to catch the ball or slide the ball based on his height.There is very little room for this kind of ability to be cultivated, and most of it is talent. A coach can teach you to move more smoothly and accurately, but it cannot teach your sixth sense.

Ikōji, whom I had played against before, was of this type, but he relied on his sixth sense to play, while King Kelton relied on his sixth sense to make judgments.

"Anyway, don't stray too far from the base."

"Yeah, can we go to Universal Studios after this competition?"

Xi Chuanlong paused, pinched his nose angrily: "If you lose, I hope you can have fun!"

Of course, Shen Qin knew that if he won, he would have to fly to the United States immediately, but what can you say about the future~ "Do you want to play tricks?"

"Who wants to cheat?"

"Then you said that on purpose?"

"How much do you yearn for free things?" Xi Chuanlong couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He looked at Shen Qin's gloves. They were very soft, which proved that they were really used all the time. The guards in different positions in recent years He really put in a lot of practice even though he didn't let go of the practice. You may see his performance on the court, but what about the hard training off the court~ Thinking of this, he resolutely changed the subject: "If you can't dive, don't dive, protect Good hand."

"Oh~" Shen Qin agreed, but his mind drifted a long way because of the phrase 'free'.Why do people like free things?Who doesn't like it, but it's not like this when it comes to me, because I need it first!just like it!
Like when I was working, there was a bakery not far from the hospital, and the unsold bread in the shop would be disposed of after ten o'clock.Of course he wants it. This is the signboard of his bakery. Of course, the food is still edible. If you give it all to yourself, then quickly send it to the children. If you keep it fresh, you can eat it tomorrow.

There is never shame in asking someone in need.Shen Qin went to ask, but was also rejected. The clerk was very surprised, and then politely explained that this cannot be done.

With Shen Qin's character, he couldn't do anything entangled, so he waited outside.He had observed for many days that before the bakery closed, they would pack the bread separately in clean bags, so even if they lost it, it would still be clean.He didn't want the children in the orphanage to be like him before, with 1/3 of a small bowl of rice and a small spoon of vegetables without oil and water, two meals a day.Never enough!I had never eaten bread before I started working in college.

I will always remember the first time I ate it. It cost two yuan, but it was actually not very tasty, but I was satisfied and swallowed it slowly.

There was actually a cake...

I don’t know why, but every child is given a birthday celebration when they leave the orphanage. Everyone is given a small piece of cake, but every time I get a piece of cake, there is no cream bottom layer~
The girl came out with a big plastic bag, and she was startled when she saw Shen Qin standing beside her. After a while, she stared and asked, "What are you doing? I told you that I wouldn't give it up. "

Shen Qin lowered his head in embarrassment: "I~I want it."

Unglued cloth shoes, electronic watch~ The girl sighed: "Do you want to eat one?"

"No~" One is not enough~ the voice lowered, "Can you sell it to me cheaply..."

The girl was a little helpless, and went in to find the store manager: "He said to sell him cheap."

"Perhaps to resell."

"It's not like~ white and clean, very thin, the shoes are all glued, and the clothes don't know how old they are."

The little girl is full of kindness. The store manager glanced at the people outside. She looks pretty good, and she looked really... "Why do you want so much?"

It can't be said that it is for an orphanage. Now that the Internet is so developed, anything can be adapted.

The store manager sighed: "For others? Brothers and sisters?"

younger siblings?Indeed.Shen Qin nodded cautiously: "I don't have enough money~ I want to make it cheaper."

"Sent you off, I will explain to the boss." The store manager quickly took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Shen Qin: "Just in case you are deceiving us."

This is probably the most complicated time in Shen Qin's life. On the one hand, he was touched by the kindness of the store manager and the girl. On the other hand, he thought of his parents for the first time after becoming sensible... If they had not abandoned him, he wouldn't have to go through this now. Bar?
"What are you thinking?" Xi Chuanlong bent down; "What's wrong?"

Shen Qin leaned over and rubbed his head: "It's great now!"

Ha~ I touched my head casually: "It's not good if you lose."

"I won't lose!"

……

Center right field!

Center left field!Two hits in a row put the Japanese team on first and second base.Ryota Sano, who came to second base, winked at Shen Qin: "I haven't seen you in a few years, you are so awesome."

"Ah."

Huh?So indifferent, Sano Ryota left the base and looked at the strike zone: "That..."

"Don't affect my fielding!" As soon as he finished speaking, the batter put out his bat and Ryota Sano started it at the same time. Shen Qin also ran to the pitcher's mound and glanced at the runner from the area between second and third base, then picked it up with his bare hands and threw it to the standing runner. The shortstop filling in for second base! "Pass to first base!"

Why pass to first base?The guerrilla who filled the seat had already gone out before he could even think about it!

"Boom!"

The ball flew through the first baseman's glove and into the crowd!
Explosion?

There was a gasp in the audience, and Shen Qin couldn't help laughing when he turned around and saw Ryota Sano had already stepped on the home plate: "Challenge the three-foot line foul!"

Ryota Sano, who was surprised, added another sentence to the referee: "There is still time to hit third base!"

Of course he can't challenge, but the coach can, but this sentence is really said to the chief judge, the purpose is for the chief judge to pay special attention to this point. Of course, it is impossible to get out of the game, but it can make him stop. Third base!

The chief judge went to answer the phone, while Ryota Sano looked at Shen Qin with a smile, three feet line?Just now, everyone's attention was on him, the runner who was going to score points, including himself. The third bat was originally a sacrifice bat that played a role in promoting the game. Who would pay attention to that, let alone whether there was any change in the third bat during the base running process. How could such a low-level mistake happen to a professional baseball player?

(Angel Golden Gloves short-term simmons made too many baserunning mistakes, and gave away the playoffs~)

Shen Qin wasn't worried about the referee's ruling. He could see clearly that the runner ran within the three-foot line, but he had already turned around at that time, and it was absolutely too late to hit third base. The angle was awkward, and maybe it would really explode. To send someone back to home plate, it's better to pass the first base and then challenge!

It's just that he didn't expect to hit the head, which made him very guilty, but fortunately the other party was fine after questioning.

……

The referee and the replay center discussed for a while before giving an answer. The Japanese team's score was cancelled, the runner returned to third base, and the hitter who ran to the second base was out at the same time.

What kind of look~ Sano Ryota walked back to third base speechlessly. At that time, with such speed of reaction and judgment, should I say that this kid is a genius or should I say that Yuri can teach?

And the arm strength is strong enough, the future will be amazing!

Two out, man on third, it couldn't be worse!

strike?Precursor?Shen Qin didn't believe it. In Japan, whether it's professional, U18, U23, or even little baseball, someone on the base must bunt, but now they have two outs. What's the point of doing this?

Don't lose a single point!
Shen Qin, who was originally retreating, looked at Xi Chuanlong, who was pinching his nose on the third base, and finally remembered the instructions before the game. Although he didn't know why, it should be right!

"Pong~"

The right hitter's pull was resolved by Xi Chuanlong's beautiful throw!
Half inning over.This is completely different from what I said before!Why don't you think about bunting? "Why?"

"Because what I say is not necessarily right! There is no absolute thing on the court, you should believe in yourself!"

At this age, you still play with examples to reason and fight the facts?I am not a child, I have to be taught everything! "I'll know when you tell me."

"Deadhead, narcissist, don't turn back if you don't hit the south wall! Think about it for yourself, what things are not serious, you will believe everything?"

Shen Qin choked. In retrospect, it was true, but it didn't sound good. He had to be narcissistic~ "Ahem~ You can say it properly!"

"Next time." Xi Chuanlong took the water and handed it over: "You can specialize in catcher training, I think you are already very stable in hitting. If you are a fielder again, such frequent fielding in and out of the field will also hurt your health."

"But Yuri wouldn't let him, he said wait..."

"That's because he doesn't know your state in school, otherwise he wouldn't let you like this! Listen to me, we Asians have different physiques, control the squatting time, and ease up after exercise, I will help you."

Huh?Shen Qin smiled: "You are so kind to me!"

Xi Chuanlong's ears turned red, and he put on his helmet and went to the field, but he still felt a little slandering in his heart: This stupid kid is very cute occasionally!
Here, Shen Qin's gaze turned to the catcher who had taken off his protective gear. He was so envious, when would he be able to put on the catcher's equipment and squat and catch in such a competition?I remembered that Yuri firmly controlled the Japanese team's movements on the base during the 13 classic game. If it was me...

Can you do it?

It should be okay!Didn't Yuri and Nishikawa both say that?In baseball, the most important thing is to rely on IQ!
I am so smart!
