soul of baseball

Chapter 87 The Boy from America
Although I wrote the character information when I was writing the outline, I wonder if it will be too dramatic if it is sent to the chapter?Being a newcomer is really easy.

……

"I said Kominatohara~"

Shen Qin was dumbfounded, and Coach was also dumbfounded, who cares about his English now~
"Do you know that little girl?"

Kominatohara was also taken aback for a moment, apparently he did not expect to hear the name of his brother who was far away in the United States from a stranger.But after looking at Coach, he smiled again: "It's my brother, do you know each other?"

Shen Qin found it unbelievable that such a square and rigorous person had such a gentle brother: "We played together in Little League."

"That's it~" Xiao Minyuan said while helping Shen Qin stretch his tendons: "He said he wanted to compete, and Dad had work to do there, so he didn't come back."

Speaking of the game, Shen Qin touched his head in embarrassment. After all, he said that the person who quit voluntarily, Xiao Min was taken to another group because there was no one in this group. His birth month is older, and the start time is just right Can catch up: "Ha~ quit~" It's hard to say why, let others guess.

Minato only thought that Shen Qin had lost the election, so of course he would not expose his scars, so he just said "it's a coincidence" and skipped this embarrassing topic, then looked at Coach who was being helped by Ryota and said : "Your ligaments are stretched out, have you been practicing?"

Baseball players actually have high requirements for ligaments. Players can do this basic to some extent, but the extent to which it can be done depends on the degree of stretching, the length of time, and how sooner or later you start.From Kominatohara's point of view, generally boys who decide to play baseball, even if they start Little League, won't be like Shen and Qin. What's the difference between this and a dancer?

God knows that Shen Qin is also very innocent. Yuri's unique way of arresting is like this, with his legs spread straight.One bends down on the ground to make it easy to roost at any time, and the other stretches straight to the ground, and the whole lower body can even be said to sit on the ground. The more no gaps are left for the ball to pass through, the better!It has a miraculous effect on all kinds of sweet potato digging/rubbing sticks/etc!This is also the reason why Yuri catches so few times!
And to make such an action, it is impossible to complete it without pulling the ligaments apart. Under Yuri's high pressure, Shen Qin has suffered a lot this year. At least Coach laughed at him because of his crying. The number of times is absolutely uncountable with one hand!
"I have been practicing."

"It's the same age as Xiaoze, so he hasn't gone to high school yet."

"Come on, junior high school over there is only two years."

Xiao Minato suddenly realized: "Then you are here to practice with us?"

Shen Qin shook his head again and again: "The amount of training is too much. Xiao Ze has been trained by the coach at our place, and even led us to listen to a lesson. This is not good for the body."

The smile on the corner of Minato's mouth never faded: "Maybe I've over-practiced? But how can I get results if I don't practice?"

"It's too late."

"Shh." Ryota Sano made a silent gesture: "You can't say that! Lazy kids are not welcome!"

He blinked as he spoke, then got up and shouted loudly: "Assemble!"

"I'm going to run! Do you want to go together?" Xiao Minu originally planned to provoke the two lazy children: "You are not too young! Don't say you can't run!"

To run is to run~ The two expressed that they would not be fooled: "Run~jogging~"

This is embarrassing, Xiao Minato thought that if his younger brother was here, he would bite the bullet and run after him.

……

On the one hand, Shen Qin and Coach are not such tough guys, nor do they care about their faces. On the other hand, they absolutely care about their bodies. All training is planned, and they do not want to overdo it during the period of physical development. matter.

Jogging is really jogging!Absolutely nothing to do with fast.Anyway, the two of them ran half a circle, and a series of footsteps whizzed past with the wind behind them.

And the two of them didn't have any desire to speed up at all, they still walked slowly, and after only one lap, their bodies were completely warmed up before returning to the indoor strike zone.

There are three 'iron cages' with automatic ball machines in the hitting area. The two let people choose the speed of the ball and start hitting practice.

Coach had just changed the wooden sticks, and he was not used to it, not only kept wiping the sticks, but also broke one.And I feel like I can't hit the ball.

This is a very strange feeling. After using the flexible metal stick, I suddenly changed to a wooden stick. I just feel that the ball is too heavy and I can’t hit it. I can’t hit it far. He went to the center when he was going to the left, but the result was a ground ball. Obviously, the speed of the ball machine is what he is used to.

On the other hand, Shen Qin has used wooden bats since he first came into contact with baseball. He has never experienced the lightness and power of a metal bat for a hitter, so there is no drop and no need to adapt. It is not difficult, this exercise is mainly to adapt to the speed of the ball, find the best hitting point, and control the direction of pushing and pulling the ball.

These skills are very important because in the game, the opponent will move the defense according to the hitter. If you can use the precise swing technique to hit the ball skillfully into the gap, it can form a chance!
But Coach is not anxious, his skills must be fine, so he just needs to get used to it, so why worry?

"Bang! Bang!"

The sound of the wooden bat hitting the ball is particularly dull, which is different from the crispness of the metal bat. The players running in circles and passing by are a little surprised. Although they are preparing for the future to enter professional baseball, they tend to use wooden bats, but in normal training For unnecessary wear and tear, metal rods are still used, but the elasticity of ordinary metal rods is weakened by a special process.

This time, they brought this kind of coop, so the ones who hit the ball inside...

"Could it be those two brats?" Sano Ryota asked Kominatohara beside him.

Kominatohara watched Supervisor Tomoyama walk over and chased him around the corner. At any rate, it was the fate of meeting him across the ocean. If you can persuade him, please persuade him. Although the supervisor is usually very kind, he is the most polite. This place is The team's accommodation, so the equipment is naturally not allowed to be tampered with.Don't get angry and drive the two children away.

"Ai Ai...Yuan! Wait for me!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

Xiao Minato ran in but was stunned for a moment, the blond kid named Coach was hitting the ball in the cage, his posture was very beautiful, and the supervisor Tomoyama on the side was full of enthusiasm, but he didn't look unhappy.

And another Shen Qin in the strike cage was even more surprising.He is catching a ball in full protective gear.The body moves very fast...but why are all the bad balls coming?
The ball machine is broken?
"What an interesting boy!"

"Uh? Uh..." Xiao Minato wanted to rub his eyes, but the person who said this was the supervisor who just looked at the supervisor who rushed in angrily?

Supervisor Youshan rubbed his fat chin and said, "The ball machine has been adjusted."

"Did they want bad balls in a mess on purpose?" Xiao Minato was really puzzled: "Does this make sense?"

"Let's look at people." Director Youshan was obviously a little surprised: "But... these two children, the striking posture and the arresting action are very different from those high school students here. Where did they come from?"

"U.S."

"America..." Supervisor Tomoyama shook his head, he also had the American dream, the dream of the big league... Unfortunately...
