soul of baseball

Chapter 421 Japanese Baseball
Shen Qin's thoughts on Yuri were very contradictory. On the one hand, this person gave him the feelings of his father, and on the other hand, he felt that this "little kid" was only a little old, why was he so precocious?How could I know how to teach children when I was that age~ Bah!He is not a child.

The Puerto Rican players have a kind of enthusiasm and ~ publicity ~ unique to Latin America, which makes Shen Qin's restrained temperament can't help but be shaken into it. After getting along for a few days, apart from not being able to sing and dance in person, I can also Tell some bad jokes.

The relationship with the pitchers and infielders also quickly became friendly. After all, they had more contact with each other during infield fielding practice. Among them, guerrilla Atlee, his roommate, contributed a lot and helped. He makes good social connections.

Shen Qin had a very happy life here. In fact, except for him, they are all professional players here, it's just a matter of level.In addition, except for Yuri, who is an active player, the rest of the coaches have experience in the major leagues, which has led to a completely professional training mode here, with the most exquisite skills and the most professional methods.

This is very fresh, Shen Qin will not miss the practice of his teammates even if his practice task is completed, for him, all the seniors present are extremely powerful, of course he is unwilling to miss such a good learning opportunity.

Atley, who is now playing for the Brewers 2A system, will explain to him: "Speaking of which, you have won Japan in the WBC. What do you think about this?"

Why are you suddenly talking about WBC?Shen Qin tilted his head and thought for a while: "It's 99% luck, and another part comes from the excellent infield defense."

"Then how do you evaluate amateur and professional baseball in Japan?"

"Amateur? Student?"

"Ah."

"In Japan, I heard from McGonagall that their student baseball is a bit deformed. Although a large number of children have played baseball when they were young, they have completely adopted an elitist system. The good ones always go to the bench, and the bad ones sit on the bench. .You can't complain about suffering or tiredness, you must practice hard! Do your best!"

"Haha~ What do you do with the double word?"

"I don't understand~" Shen Qin really doesn't understand Japanese student baseball, the basic skills are solid, but the real basic skills of Taiwan's Little League and Youth League are particularly solid, right?They also practice hard, but they are still frightened when they look at the Japanese, and they don’t understand the meaning of long-term practice every day: "The body is greatly consumed in advance~~It’s really meaningless~Take William Porter Can you really see the difference between Japan and the United States?"

Atley looked at Shen Qin for a while, then smiled and said: "At that time, Japan should be strong, right?"

"It's useless to be strong, because the Japanese kids who come to participate in the competition not only want to enter Koshien, they also want to enter the profession, but do you know the members of the American teams opposite? A lot of the miserable players have played professionally and even made it to the major leagues."

"The meritocracy in Japan has actually deviated from the original intention of baseball. Baseball is an outdoor sport. Parents, classmates and even coaches around me have said very early that we hope that children can play baseball outdoors. This sport itself is popular in the United States. It's a national system, you can play together if you play well or not, and the result is also very good, most of them are ahead of Japan when they become adults."

"Doesn't Japan know that their approach is wrong? Of course they know, but they are unwilling to change. It is true that the foundation is solid, but after a long period of practice, people will become stupid. In many cases, they will lose their ability to respond. Do the math. Well, have any infielders in Japan challenged for the majors? Not a single one!"

"So I very much agree with Yuri's request when I went to Japan, I don't need to practice like that with them~ You see, I am also very good now~"

Atley laughed out loud, and he said it in a serious way before, why did he boast about it later? "Ahem~ Which Mag?"

"Miles McGrath, who used to be in the Japanese professional baseball Giants, just signed a two-year contract with the Cardinals worth more than 1000 million dollars." There are not many, and he is so gentle, and he also taught Uesugi Hideya to overcome psychological barriers to pitch~ I didn’t expect him to come back to the big leagues, and he was still with Yuri and two good friends as the Cardinals. Very good.

Atli was stunned for a moment: "Miles? Is he the one who looks up and looks so invincible and beautiful?"

Shen Qin didn't know this at all, and after the two of them chatted for a while, they asked again: "Why did you mention Japan all of a sudden?"

"Because the Americas Qualifying Tournament was postponed due to civil strife in the country, it is estimated that the host site will have to be changed (one year in advance), and the Intercontinental Cup Baseball Championship must be played first. There are points, so let's play a warm-up match." (Added of)

Shen Qin's eyes widened: "What is the scope of the Intercontinental Cup?"

"It's just..." Atley did the math and found that he couldn't remember everything: "Anyway, it includes those in Japan~"

Shen Qin almost didn't laugh, and decided to go back and search by himself: "Then what are the points for?"

"This is for Puerto Rico to earn a world ranking, but no professional players have participated in it before, so it's not very good. I hope that the ranking will rise after the qualifying round in the Americas."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

"It's not the same as the classic game." Atley himself is a player who has struggled in the minor leagues for many years. It has been five years since the 18-year-old draft. Special feeling: "Believe me, this game must be harder to play than the classic in most cases."

"Why? There are so many stable starters and even cricket stars in the major leagues in the classic game?"

"Because they don't have to work hard, but we! Will work hard!"

After saying this, Shen Qin understood and felt a little helpless.Of course cricket stars don’t have to compete in that kind of game, or rather they don’t dare to compete, because of various terms and professional requirements, they must put their health first.

And now the players in this U23 team, how can they care about these things, as long as they have the opportunity to show their abilities, they will do their best. I hope others can see it. I hope that when next spring comes, the spring training list You can write your name on it!
Can fight, dare to fight, fight together!Then the number of kills and base steals during the game will increase dramatically!
Shen Qin jumped up excitedly, he likes big action games.Looks good to the audience!fun!For myself as a player, I will be extremely excited!Only such a game can be devoted to it!

Such a game!He wants to be involved!
