soul of baseball

Chapter 420 Coach Yuri
The U23 training ground of the Puerto Rico national baseball team is very ordinary. In Shen Qin's opinion, it is no different from the school stadium in his high school.

There's a huge 'sub 23' banner outside, and for some reason a lot of Cardinals logos too. (Of course, it's true that Molina asked the team for help.)
Shen Qin's personal items were brought by Yuri himself.

We all know that baseball is the most flamboyant of all sports, from equipment to clothing, and the national flag of Puerto Rico is composed of red, white and blue, which is refreshing and bright, and naturally, when combined together, it is even more eye-catching. up.

In addition to the home and away team uniforms used in official games, there are also various styles of linings, long and short sleeves, hoodies, jackets, long and short styles, etc. that are usually used~ even different patterns but the same color The socks are all included~
Shen Qin shook one of the hats: "Why 'M4'?"

"The fund established by the Molina family, we hope that future children will continue this, give back, and help each other. In the future, you will too, our Molina No. [-]!"

Molina Four?Shen Qin liked this title, so he happily put on his hat, carried a bunch of things and followed Yuri into the dressing room.

Classroom~ In fact, it is really a classroom, with a blackboard, desks and a teacher——Yuri~
The person who was still smiling in front of him turned around and smiled even wider. Shen Qin was ready to be treated coldly like a storm in front of outsiders, and that's the result?

"If you are short, sit in the front."

Heartbroken! ! !

Shen Qin didn't have the nerve to look at the teammates sitting below, so he just lowered his head and moved to the front seat to sit down.

The corner of Yuri's mouth curled up, so he didn't laugh, he just coughed twice, picked up the pointer and pointed to the simple line on the blackboard: "Qin Qin, look up, during this qualifying round, your position is normally here. "

Shen Qin looked depressedly at the circled first base, with an aggrieved face~
"You~" Yuri nodded to the two on the left: "Ours is showing two catchers, one in 2A and the other in high-level 1A, so stop whining about your fantasies. You went to squat and catch. Guarding first base will connect with the catcher in various ways. If you want to be a catcher, you also need to accumulate experience on first base. Tsk~ It’s a pity, mainly because we don’t have good first base candidates, otherwise With your small stature, it's still a little bit worse."

hahaha~
Pfft~ Shen Qin covered his chest!So angry!

This kind of teaching is also routinely conducted by the head coach Kara at UMBC. I heard that he will also come before and after the game, but he has never played it himself, and he will not be able to experience it until next year.

Although he was ridiculed, he still listened happily with his head up.He thought it was very interesting. In fact, he was a real student of Yuri. After all, he was brought up from a basic level of 0, and he taught him hand in hand for many years.

But that kind of teaching is really completely different from the current group class.

The man was pointing on the podium with a gentle tone, and he took a peek. The players below were full of admiration. This is incredible, because it is a sign for the level below the major leagues to participate in this kind of World Cup level competition. The attitude of 'go as you go', but they are all professional players who have been selected. They are real players who have already stepped into the major leagues, but they still have such an attitude when facing Yuri... …

What happened to suddenly feel very proud?

"Qin Qin!"

"Qin Molina!"

Shen Qin, who was dazed, blinked drowsily when he heard someone calling him. Yuri felt a headache. The normal state of his child's attention was a high degree of concentration, but his thinking was too broad and he got stuck very much. It's strange, as long as you are faced with something that you don't consciously think is very important, your thoughts will drift to nowhere.

"What did I just say?"

"I said that the big leagues always have a relatively relaxed attitude towards first basemen. Let those players who are heavy artillery and relatively not so good on defense stand up. You think first base is not very good. After all, catchers are often moved up. In fact, the size Relatively speaking, it’s too bulky.” Shen Qin thought for a while and added: “I quite agree with your statement, first base is so important, is it really relatively easy? I don’t think so either, if It’s all handed over to big men or cumbersome catchers, and the risk of mistakes will increase overall. Can the two types of players I mentioned above split? Can they be more flexible than other fielders? Obviously not?”

Tsk~ Can this kid's ability to calm down when he talks about baseball come to normal?Yuri flicked the pointer: "Sorry, I can still do the splits perfectly."

"But Yuri, you are a special case. The special way of squatting and catching keeps your ligaments very good. If you look at other catchers, most of them can't do it. Even if they can do it, they can't play freely on first base. use."

"Ha~"

"Hahaha~"

The players started laughing gradually, and the noise became louder and louder. Shen Qin looked around in confusion, and then turned to Yuri. Seeing that he was also leaning against the blackboard and smiling, he was even more puzzled. I couldn't ask any more questions with a human face, so I could only puff up my face and keep silent.

~
It was only at night that he ran to Yuri's room: "Why are you laughing at me then?"

"Ha~" Yuri pointed to the sofa to let people sit down, and the smile on his face couldn't be restrained: "Because the little cutie is a shy ghost who can't utter a few words after a few slaps!"

"...I-I'm not a cutie! I also talk a lot!"

"That's right, that's why you should talk to your teammates more. It's okay if you want to go out and have a drink together."

Don’t dare to drink when you’re drunk!

"Have you met your roommate? We still need to live together when we go to Panama, we need to build a good relationship!"

"Oh! He hasn't shown up yet, how old is he? What position does he play? Is he easy to get along with? You know I'm not very good-tempered and can easily cause trouble~ If he's unhappy..."

"Baby Qin~" Yuri stretched out his hand and tapped the other party's forehead: "One: You are not difficult to get along with at all; Two: I said it a long time ago, if you really cause trouble, I will definitely Finishing for you. Three: No one else will be unhappy because of you, our children are the most lovable! You are very good, you have to realize this."

As long as Yuri is annoyed by Shen Qin's behavior, he will call out "Baby Qin". He doesn't like Shen Qin's behavior of always putting himself at a low point. His own children behave straightly, so what's the point? Worried, good-natured, who would alienate such a lovable child for no reason?

Furthermore~ "The most important thing for Puerto Rican players is unity! You are a child of my family, so naturally you are the same, otherwise I will get angry and let you eat fried chicken feet!"

Shen Qin: ...
