Chapter 224 What a Pitcher Shouldn't Do
"Hey~ What's your name, kid?" The fat man behind Shen Qin yelled before the hitter entered the strike zone. He didn't recognize the cute name when he just signed up.

The uncle smiled so kindly that Shen Qin completely forgot that this person might have booed him before, and said his name in a daze.

"Qin?" The fat uncle looked at Shen Qin's big black eyes and made a cheering gesture: "Cute! Come on~"

Shen Qin blushed in an instant, but his heart was sweet. When he was working, he always heard the doctors or the little nurses in the department say 'whose child is so cute', and he knew that this was an expression of 'love' ' words.No one had ever described him that way as a child.

So does this uncle love himself?After thinking about it, Shen Qin waved happily at the uncle, and then turned to face the court.

Hahaha~ The uncle was stunned and laughed, and swiped twice on the phone to post the surprised appearance of Shen Qin's head and the stadium photo on Twitter: lovely children, lovely Qin ^0^/ Missouri Final Four Civil War ~so q~
……

Shen Qin was ignorant here, and only focused on watching the four-bat Jose on the strike zone. He remembered that he was also a four-bat in the Little League before.

Jose is a perfect catcher, with mature skills, a cool head and good strength.

Remember the strike aspect is pretty good too.

And hit left~ As the catcher conveyed the coach's signal to defend right, everyone started to move.

The first baseman stands directly on the edge of the base bag, the second baseman is between the first and second bases, the shortstop covers the second base, and the center and right field also moves aside, so that the third base and left field direction form a large space. .

Shen Qin was stunned for a moment. It seems that because Jose used to be in the Little League team in St. Louis, Quinn did not know how to get his data. He is indeed a traditional pullback hitter. As long as he hits out, The probability of the ball landing in the direction of first and second bases is as high as 90%, and the hit that pushes the ball in the direction of third base...the number of samples is currently scarce.

"Pong~"

Just as he was thinking here, Jose had hit the ball over there, and a quick and powerful bounce went directly into the second baseman's glove, and a small throw to the first baseman blocked Jose.

Jose cursed and went back to the waiting room annoyed. He really didn't expect that there would be an formation against him!

……

On the Warriors side, Lin Duo's skills are strong enough, and with the help of the defense, they were easily resolved except for the team that was startled by Ed in the last round. The game came to the third round.

It was Lindor's turn to hit.

Ed really didn't care much about a hit from a pitcher who was ranked ninth.

"boom!"

"Bang!" Two consecutive curveballs fell into the strike zone, and Ed took the lead in the number of goals.

Standing on the strike zone to see Ed's ball was even more shocking, Lin Duo snorted and planned to swing it casually, and wait for the next round if he knows the ball path!
"Pong!"

Ha~ Lin Duo was stunned and ran to the first base, watching the powerless fly ball landed in the three-way zone, and it turned out to be a hit.

Quinn patted the railing speechlessly. He had already told Lindor to swing down as he pleased. Protecting his arms was the most important thing. He still had to pitch. Didn't he know that the 13-man roster was not enough pitchers?The weather is not hot, what should I do if my arms get cold while standing there?
God knows that Lin Duo's first two swings were really serious. After all, no one wants to be like a fool and get out after a few empty swings. But the last stick really obeyed the coach's wishes. It was really a random swing. Come on, why did he hit a hit anyway?

The smug Lindo tried his best to look like he was serious about hitting the ball and walked away from the base and stared in the direction of home plate.

... Quinn really wanted to go up and scold people: Why do you act like you want to steal a base?Isn't hitting base enough?Do you have to get hurt to be happy?
Shen Qin stood on the strike zone and looked at Lin Duo who was ready to move, and his head was also in a cold sweat. If this man is injured, they will win this game, and the next game will be over. Take it easy.

Shen Qin was very calm in the confrontation with Ed again, even if the curveball he faced was not that strong at the beginning, so what if the speed was fast?He trusts his eyes and the feel of the hit today.

Just why the hell did he set up the same formation as Jose?Just left?
After calling for a pause, he looked towards the bird's lounge, and saw Jose lying on the railing and staring at himself.

Aww... Shen Qin is going crazy, it's really not the data he said... pull it back or something!Is this revenge?
Injustice in capital letters!

But no matter how bad the game is, the game has to continue, what Shen Qin can do is try to get out of the formation, or push into the gap!
Come!
The speed of the ball is not slow, and the speed is very fast. When the ball falls from a high place, Shen Qin, who is highly focused, seems to be in a slow world. He can clearly distinguish in which direction the ball is turning and how fast it is falling. Chu.

"boom!"

The stick was dropped directly, and Shen Qin penetrated the second room.

run!
Flying around the first base and continuing to rush, Shen Qin slid onto the second base in a rush, and when his hands touched the base bag, the short-striker's gloves fell on his back.

Safe on base!

The guerrilla tried to pass back to home plate to block Lindor, who had bypassed third base, but it was too late.

Another point for Warriors High School.

3: 0.
Ed, who had been smiling all the time, had an ugly face, and finally looked at Shen Qin seriously. For the first time, he could say that he let himself go, but this hit was a real personal ability.

Shen Qin was not very happy either. Lin Duo was a lunatic when he ran the bases. If no one was out, he would stop on third base. He even rushed to home plate. If he didn't rush to second base to attract shortstops to stop him, then Lindor's death at home plate is almost certain.

Crazy, this kind of unsafe behavior can easily send the opponent out of the game.

The third person, Quinn, was also unhappy, and directly grabbed the excited Lindo who was bouncing around with his teammates by the ear: "Who made you hit the base, who made you hit the plate? We are leading, not behind! Are you the first to understand?"

"Wrong, wrong! Coach~ hiss~ lighten up~ I know it's wrong~ ahhhh~" Lin Duo looked at the stumbling teammates behind Quinn who were laughing, and the whole person was going crazy, face, face!lost it~
"Do you still dare?"

"I definitely don't dare!"

"Go put your coat on!"

"Yes~" Lin Duo ran away in a desperate manner as soon as he broke free, seeing Quinn as angry and funny.

The situation of the Warriors was very good. Even Shen Qin, who was standing on the second base, relaxed a lot. After all, he could be sent back with just two high-flying sacrifices.

But Ed obviously didn't intend to send points, and faced the next 2 and 3 bats, he sent 2 strikeouts in a row. Although the 4th bat hit the ball, an infield high fly was simply caught and killed, leaving the second base stumped. This half is over.

Marcel was very dissatisfied with his stick. He thought about the way of the ball in the first round and waited for this round to be played. In the end, he was solved by a straight ball. Sad!
Shen Qin thought it was a little funny, the first time he came into contact with Marcel was when he was delivering fried dumplings to Ko Chi, at that time this guy was just beside him mocking himself.

I thought he was a difficult person to get along with, but he turned out to be a very outgoing person with all his emotions on his face.

At this moment, Shen Qin finally understood what Yuri said before: First impressions are the most inaccurate. Everyone should have more contact and understanding before they can judge whether each other is suitable for getting along with each other.
