Chapter 197 Catcher and Coach

In the first game between the US team and the Taiwan team, Shen Qin did not start, but watched the game with his teammates lying on the railing of the lounge.

The score is wide open, nothing to worry about.

It is already 6-9 in the 0th round, and it is not impossible to wait until the 7th round of offensive and defensive exchanges to end the game early.

"Qin! Come here." Lasuo sat on the bench with a relaxed look.

This is a real boss, Shen Qin obediently went over and waited for instructions.

The old coach patted the side and let Shen Qin sit down: "I was a catcher before I retired."

Shen Qin blinked, how should I answer these words?
Fortunately, Lasso didn't wait for Shen Qin to open his mouth before continuing, "The Cardinals' next coach was also a catcher, and he's still the Cardinals' catcher."

Shen Qin:? ? ?
"Yuri is also a catcher. They have all played under me." Lasso touched Shen Qin's head: "Then you who want to be a catcher, after watching this game, do you have to be like them? Give me an analysis?"

Being patted by an old man who is older than his two lifetimes combined, Shen Qin has no opinion, but he has a big opinion after throwing out an analysis. What is the analysis?This proposition is too broad, at least give me some points!
Of course, La Suo didn't like Shen Qin's intentions, and just looked at him with a smile.

Shen Qin had no choice but to pick and choose according to his own opinion!It's a big deal to be wrong!What he is most afraid of at this age is making mistakes, and there are plenty of opportunities to correct them!

And he was facing a legendary coach!It's okay to make mistakes!If he makes a mistake, he can correct himself!

"Actually, the pitching skills of Taiwanese players are very mature, but they always feel that they shoot casually. To be honest, our offense today was not good. A large part of the scores were earned from the defense of the Taiwan team."

"Of course, their blows are worse than ours. I just heard them talk about the wooden stick yesterday. After all, it is true to spend money, but this All-Star Game doesn't have to spend money by itself? Maybe it's because I'm used to not exerting strength at ordinary times. It’s already in the strike mode, and now I want to swing a big stick and attack aggressively, but I can’t do it.”

"And the defense is very weak! I don't think they are not skilled enough. After all, the movements are very standard, and the foundation is obviously not bad, but what's the matter if they don't have fighting spirit?"

Lasso smiled back and asked, "What's going on?"

Uh... Shen Qin thought about it and said: "It may be that he is reluctant to swing the bat at ordinary times, which makes the defense have an illusion that the pitcher is very strong during practice. Then after a long time, a strange judgment will be produced, and the batter will generally not be able to hit. , or it is very strong when you hit it out, and you can’t save it even if you save it, so it’s in such a state now.”

"En." La Suo just looked at Shen Qin and didn't speak, which means you continue.

How to continue, Shen Qin sorted out the memory in his mind: "Uh~ this may not be right, they have always been left to defend, but we don't have strong right hitters in our starting lineup... It doesn't seem to be true to say that. Exactly, I looked at the batting data of the team, uh... Did you do it on purpose? The only right-handed hitter who started today is a push-pull hitter, and it was a deliberate test of their ability to move, deploy and dispatch~uh, to test the opposite side catcher and coach?"

Lasuo was very satisfied with Shen Qin: "Why should I do this?"

"Because you don't have their data and videos to refer to?"

"Haha~ He's a good seed! Listen to Yuri, you're not ready for squatting and catching, and you still have less experience. You should spend more time in the outfield. Although the analysis just now is fine, do you only look at others? ? What is the state of our players on the field? What kind of communication or deployment is needed? Are they even excited? Or what is the tacit understanding between several blocking lines today?"

Shen Qin's attention was always focused on the other party, but he only paid attention to the striking part, so he was really embarrassed to be mentioned by La Suo at this moment.

"Tomorrow you'll start at third base."

puff!If it wasn't for being impolite, Shen Qin promised that he might really spit out his mouth!The practice of the third baseman is very special, and it is necessary to make accurate passes no matter what kind of posture or center of gravity is shifted.

And different from the second game, because the relationship between right and left is more than left, the third game has always been the hardest hit area, and it is also a high incidence of various art skills!What does the author explain?It shows that there are not only many balls in that place, but also difficult to catch!
Flying and jumping... I have never thought about it or tried it!
"I... I... I'm afraid it won't work!"

"No, don't be afraid. I don't expect you to do it. I just hope that you can feel the vision in that position, so that you can better judge the situation of the third baseman when I squat and catch in the future."

Shen Qin was a little dizzy: "What should I do if I keep making mistakes..."

"That's not good! If you can't run and jump at such a young age, what will you do when you are older? No matter how good the bat is, I dare not let you go to first base!"

……Headache!
Shen Qin has been sitting silently on the bench in the corner since chatting with La Suo, what to do!So nervous, so nervous!In fact, he is not too worried about any position, except for the two positions with the highest risk coefficient and difficulty coefficient, third base and guerrilla!

It really requires great experience and technology!
He lacks these two no matter where they are!
……

During the exchange of offense and defense, Coach, who was the first to defend the guerrilla, happened to be resting, but Shen Qin was crouched in the corner dejectedly.

He took out a cola candy from his bag and stuffed it into Shen Qin's mouth, eh!This one is better than that lemon candy: "What's wrong?"

"Tomorrow I'm going to play third base!!" Shen Qin said with a sad face, "I have zero experience at all! What if I keep losing points because of my mistakes!"

"That's it?" Coach looked at Shen Qin's bulging face and squeezed it a little funny.

"Is that not enough?"

"What a big deal! I'm a guerrilla!"

"What does it have to do with me playing third base if you're shortstop?"

Coach said with a smile: "Just like what we usually practice, no matter where you are, I can always pass the ball to you. You can just play normally. Your arm strength is fine. The ball is also accurate, what are you worried about?"

Although Shen Qin relaxed a little after hearing this, he was still a little worried: "I, I... I won't pounce!"

"Push what?"

"Catch!" Shen Qin is most worried about this. He used to rely on anticipation to defend the second base, but the ball lost is not too small. The problem of hitting third base is definitely more serious. Well, Guerrilla must be closer to the second base according to the current formation, and the pressure must be greater that day... It's terrible!

Still cute in left field!

"Your physical response is very good, don't worry! I will teach you tonight, you are just scared! The lawn is not hard."

Shen Qin doesn't believe Coach's statement at all, doesn't he know if it hurts or not?And what if you hurt your hand!He will be a catcher in the future!If it affects the future because of defending third base once, isn't it worth the loss?
"It's so decided! Are you afraid of getting hurt if I'm here?" Coach knew what Shen Qin was thinking at a glance, and stretched out his fist to encourage him: "Home plate collision is much more terrifying than this. You are not afraid of this, but you are afraid of rushing." catch?"

Shen Qin came to a sudden!yes!You are not afraid of a home run that can knock people flying, but are you afraid of this?Just learn how to remove the power, right?
Although this is the case, the picture of being crushed to death after falling down before dying and being unable to stand up is always turning around in my mind, which is really scary!
