Chapter 5 His Name
The intimate behavior of Yuri and Shen Qin at the airport was spread on the Internet by fans.

In the current digital age of information, how fast news spreads, people start picking it up immediately.

From Yuri's life to Shen Qin, the two of them were stripped of their old background together.

Thanks to the power of the masses, Shen Qin even knew the embarrassing story about Yuri being bitten off his pants when he was playing with a dog when he was young.Of course, his own background was also exposed.

From his status as an orphan to his failure to adopt due to personality reasons, and from his excellent grades to studying hard, all the true and false come together to create a pitiful and hateful image.

Some of the classmates read jokes and comforted him. The teacher also asked him to talk, but Shen Qin didn’t really care about it. He just needed to study hard according to the weirdness of his previous life and continue to be a doctor in the future. It was just a small episode for him.The only regret is why I didn't memorize a few lottery numbers in my previous life.

But people are curious, even someone as awkward as Shen Qin ran to the old dean to find the video to watch.

I searched for Major League Baseball Yuri directly on Baidu, but I couldn’t help it. I don’t know the full name, I don’t know the team, and I don’t know about the broadcast video, so I can only use the most stupid way.

This search was a bit surprising. There were still a lot of posts and reports on Tieba and various sports websites. There were more people watching and playing baseball in China than he had imagined.

Maybe it's because there are no people in that circle around him, so his imagination is narrowly limited.

Yuri Molina, this is the person's full name, and the introduction is also very interesting: a Latino with half Chinese blood, although he has always insisted that he is a complete Chinese, but because he has never been to China, so Being ridiculed by fans for wearing the skin of a Chinese but with a foreign stomach.

In this regard, Yuri also posted a table of Chinese dishes on social media in return for fans.

Shen Qin couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

As for those amazing statistics and titles, he couldn't understand them, so he directly found the wonderful clips uploaded by fans.

The movement is smooth and powerful!
Well, this is the only judgment Shen Qin can make, he really doesn't understand the others, and even the rules are ignorant.

Not understanding is a very distressing state.I can only find the most basic video briefing.It is also thanks to his good memory that he has a general understanding of basic baseball knowledge in theory.

It has to be said that baseball is the most complicated sport Shen Qin knows.

In the game, the two teams take turns to attack and defend. Every time the offensive player returns to the home base, he can score one point. The tie with the highest score in the nine innings will be an extra game.

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite complicated.

Offensive players have three chances to get out. Each offensive player is called a batter. The batter faces the opponent's nine players alone and hits various balls from the opponent's pitcher. If he hits well and the ball lands first (the batter becomes The runner) must rush to the base before the ball is returned, and the opposing baseman can block the runner out as long as he catches the ball and touches the base with his foot before the ball is returned.If you touch the base in time, you can also catch the ball and touch the runner's body as a tag!If the player's glove is directly approached by the defensive player, it will be counted as a catch and out.

When the runner hits the base safely, the next hitter goes on the field. During this period, the runner who has already stood on the base bag can go on the base by stealing the base, and the defender can be pinned by the pitcher, so the runner The distance from the base must be controlled. If it is too far away, it is easy to be blocked, but if it is too close, it will not be effective.

In short, during the offensive period, you must take the initiative to attack, defend carefully, and at the same time listen to the guidance of the base running instructor, and try to run back to home base.

The defense is more troublesome. The defense consists of three outfielders from the left, center and right, first, second and third basemen, shortstops, pitchers and catchers.

In each out count, the batter is out if the pitcher gets 3 strikes first, and the batter is walked to base if the pitcher throws 4 walks first.When the hitter hits a foul ball, it is counted as one strike, and it will not increase after two.The pitcher uses the catcher's signal to determine the type of pitch and strive for strikeouts.

Seeing this, Shen Qin is a little bit ignorant, but he can't help but click his tongue when he sees the data below. Those pitchers are too fierce. How do human hands throw a ball at a speed of [-] or [-] kilometers? If the ball comes, it can directly kill people.

However, there was still something very strange. He found that whether it was pitchers or fielders, there were a lot of instructional and analytical articles on the Internet, but there were very few articles about catchers. Some introduced catchers, but about how to become a good catcher, Or how to train but it’s useless.

There are only some conclusions that seem to be similar at most. For example, as the only player facing the court, the catcher is equivalent to the coach and instructor on the court!They are in control.A good catcher needs calmness, intelligence, professional technique, quick reflexes and strong arms.

Shen Qin said that he was confused because all that came to his mind was Yuri's honest giggle.He didn't know whether he was professional or not, sensitive or not, but smart?calm?Do you have anything to do with this guy?
"Qin Qin." The old dean walked into the office and looked at the child who was occupying his computer, waving, and then sat down on the sofa: "Come here."

Shen Qin stood up, very well-behaved.He and the old dean have always been close, and they sat down on the sofa unpretentiously.He was about to ask something, but when he raised his head, he couldn't ask.

He was too familiar with the expression on the old dean's face at this time, both worried and expectant, he was like this whenever a child was adopted, and Shen Qin was like that when he was adopted back then.

So, is it his turn again?

The old dean Shen Qinchong shook his head. In his previous life, he left the orphanage at the age of 18. He was still able to go to university, and then his work went smoothly. He doesn't want to change in this life.

In fact, Shen Qin also understood why someone was suddenly interested in him. It was simply because of Yuri that he was also exposed.

Whether it's for fame or anything else, or even pure love, he doesn't need it.

The old dean sighed, he knew Shen Qin's character, but this time...: "There are many applications, and they can all be rejected, but... this time there are foreigners, you know, even though grandpa is the dean , but I am not qualified to refuse this kind of thing for you."

Shen Qin also understands what the old dean said. The success rate of foreign adoptions is not only high, but also the conditions are relaxed in all aspects. The reason is that they will give a large donation fee. After all, the orphanage is a charity organization. , But... One more adopted child and one more donation fee can help more children.

There is nothing wrong with this, Shen Qin understands. In fact, at his age, it is easy to make his adopter dislike him.Of course, what's more important is that he doesn't want to go abroad. If he goes abroad, all his experiences in his previous life will be useless.

Does rebirth count as a cheat?Shen Qin thought it didn't matter. After all, he had already done terribly in the school exams, which shocked the teacher.The gradient from first to last in grade is really too big.

In fact, Shen Qin himself was also very embarrassed, such a thing was forgotten after graduating from high school, let alone for him, a guy who had been separated for so many years.

"I see."
