Chapter 193 Heading to Taiwan
Shen Qin had no objection to playing high school All-Star Yuri, but Ji Jia had to spend a lot of persuasion before agreeing.

It's December now, and Christmas is coming soon, but Shen Qin and Coach have packed their bags and are going to fly to the other side of the world.

On the way to the plane, Shen Qin hugged Ji Jia and secretly bit his ear: "I hope you will have a baby when I come back."

After the two children got out of the car, Ji Jia wiped away tears: "This child is really..."

Yuri sighed: "Maybe it's fine if you don't say anything for the rest of your life."

……

Naturally, high school students do not have the kind of chartered flight treatment that MLB stars and other players enjoy when traveling, especially when the legendary coach and a bunch of assistants and logistics have arrived in Taiwan in advance.The players and the team leader’s entourage don’t even think about first class.
After the 25 teenagers gathered at the airport, Moore, the team leader, led them to board the plane.

It is a very painful thing to fly long-distance economy class, especially for a person like Shen Qin with keen senses.

The noise, the air pressure, the murmurs of the passengers... all mixed together is quite excruciating.

Especially since he can't get used to the earplugs yet.

This made Coach very worried: "I told you earlier that we would upgrade, but you didn't agree."

"Let's talk about a member of the team now, what specialization?" Shen Qin rubbed his head, he was really in a bad state, his face was ugly, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat.What I ate earlier almost filled my throat.

"How long?"

"Hmm..." Shen Qin leaned his head on his shoulder, trying to suppress the desire to vomit, and hypnotized himself!go to sleep!go to sleep!

Coach put the blindfold on Shen Qin, patted his back lightly, and fell asleep within a short while.Holding the person's hand tightly, the head that was originally resting on the shoulder slid to the chest, and then moved the body to make it more comfortable to sleep. Then the other hand pulled the blanket and covered Shen Qin, and leaned on himself Get confused.

……

When Shen Qin woke up, his vision was dark, and only the low hum in his ears reminded him that he was still on the plane.

He lifted the blindfold and retracted from Coach's chest to his backrest.

"Hiss~" The sleeping Coach groaned, frowning and turning his head away.

Silly, my hands must be numb.Shen Qin complained while helping Coach rub his hands. The latter also woke up in a daze and looked at his watch: "We're almost there~" and asked Shen Qin: "Are you feeling better?"

Before Shen Qin answered, the boy sitting by the aisle stretched his waist and said, "Are you so close? Are you from the same school? Oh~ My name is Hicks, a pitcher, from California."

"Well~ Missouri, Coach, Qin." Coach introduced them.

Hicks smiled and said, "I know Coach, Missouri's No. [-] guerrilla! This is the first time Qin has heard of it. What position do you play?"

"Me?" He didn't know what position he played!Shen Qin is going crazy!Every time someone asks this question, it's extremely embarrassing, so I simply... "I, I, I... Probably... It depends on the situation in the outfield, substitute and substitute!"

So it's okay, right?
Sure enough, Hicks didn't ask any more questions. After all, most people answer like this because they don't want to say much...

"ladies and gentlemen……"

"Get ready to get off the plane, check everything, don't leave it." Moore said loudly, and most of the team members who sat together quickly became familiar with each other after a long journey, and the cabin was very lively for a while.

Baseball is quite popular in Taiwan, and it has its own league. When they learned that this was a high school All-Star team, many Taiwanese passengers immediately took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

"Are you still young?" Coach pushed Shen Qin who was about to kneel on the seat to watch the excitement: "It was still uncomfortable before, but now you are moving around?"

Every time it comes to age-related topics, it is always unpleasant, Shen Qin can only sit back obediently, and peeled a piece of chocolate for Coach to make the little kid happy again: "Three days of warm-up and adaptation training The competition will start later, and we can go out for a walk, there are many snacks in Taiwan, and there must be something better than chocolate."

Shen Qin deliberately amused Coach, and naturally he couldn't hold back: "I'm not a foodie, but you, don't go out and buy pig brains, bullwhip and other things."

Pooh!Who ordered these for the hot pot last time!In Shen Qin's heart, mmp had to nod with a smile on his face!This guy definitely did it on purpose!It's so bad!

……

The venue for the next few days will be the Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium, the home of the Chinese Professional Baseball Lamigo Taoyuan, which is also the venue for the World College Baseball Championship.

It can accommodate about [-] spectators.

Next to it is an affiliated stadium that can be used for training - Qingpu Sports Park Baseball Stadium.

The stadium only officially started construction in 08, and the LED screen was only installed in 10, so it is very new and well maintained.

As the visiting team, the "American Star Team" naturally came to check out the venue in advance to see if the stadium environment is suitable, but the coaches and players are not very impressed with this beautiful stadium.

It was okay before, but it was not right when the sun set in the evening. The direction of the entire home plate was looking directly at the sun. Who would suffer like this?

Coach was even more uncomfortable and burst into tears.

"The direction of the outfield is wrong." Caterham, the team's starting first base heavy artillery, is a real academic master, er~ at least when he explains it to everyone, he looks very knowledgeable: "The outfield faces northeast or southeast. Avoiding this situation, avoiding facing west is basic common sense."

All the players looked at each other in blank dismay, recalling that the direction of the stadium in the United States really seemed to be like this.

……

The hotel where the team stayed was in Taoyuan County (Taoyuan County has not yet been upgraded to one of the municipalities directly under the central government of Taiwan's "region" in the timeline at this time.) The surrounding area is very lively.

In order to ensure the safety of the players, Coach Lasso ordered that they must be accompanied by an assistant coach or team leader before going out.

So Shen Qin became the most popular person in the entire team?
Why?Because Shen Qin has no language barrier!Having him follow is much more useful than an assistant coach. You must know that the only translator on the team is only following Lasso.Most of the team members are going abroad for the first time, or are they on the other side of the world, which one doesn't want to go out for a stroll?

"Qin! Is there anything interesting here?"

"Qin! Let's go to the night market! There's so much delicious food! I'll treat you to it!"

"Bah, bah, bah! Do you want to invite me? Qin will come with us! Eat and play~"

"Qin!!..."

"Don't be noisy!" Coach jumped on the stool and pulled Shen Qin, who was tense and stiff, from the crowd behind him: "It's impossible for so many of us to go together, otherwise Lasso will get angry! Are you not afraid?"

Center fielder Shano was the first to jump up at his height: "Anyway, there are three free nights, let's split it up, no one loses!"

That's fair!Everyone agreed, only Shen Qin turned pale: You guys are happy!And me! ! !I don't want to go to the same place three nights in a row!I don't want to go to the night market for three nights!
Just when he was thinking of refusing, Coach looked at him with bright eyes, looking like he was about to drool!

How can you refuse this! ! ! !

He really just came to play baseball!Not a tour guide!
