Chapter 226 The Baseball Boy on Ice

The bus was going slowly, Shen Qin arrived later than Ji Jia, when he got off the bus at the intersection, he saw that the lights at home were already turned on.

"You have guests at your house, they look familiar~" Kou Chi, who was about to leave for his own house, saw him walking in the opposite direction after coming out of Shen Qin's house, he was very tall.

Shen Qin was a little strange, based on the distance Ji Jia would arrive sooner than himself, even if this person came to visit, he would have to say a few more words, right?How long has it been?just leave?
"Perhaps the neighbors nearby? It's normal to be familiar. Let's go back first." The two friends bid farewell, went back to their respective homes, and each looked for their own mothers~
Uh~ Shen Qin looked for his sister: "Sister~"

Ji Jia leaned back on the sofa, and immediately stood up and walked to the kitchen after hearing Shen Qin's voice: "I'll get you some juice~"

Shen Qin didn't like drinking juice at all, and Ji Jia took a little long to get the juice, and it took a while to get it out.

After receiving the juice, Shen Qin looked at Ji Jia's swollen eyes and asked, "Have you ever cried?"

"No, I forgot to close the window when I drove back. By the way, you played very well today, and I took a lot of photos~" Ji Jia said with a smile: "Did you look at your phone, Twitter is full of photos of you , cute~"

Shen Qin didn't smile, and pulled Ji Jia to sit beside him, worried: "I see someone has left the house, someone bullied you? I~"

Ji Jia paused before saying: "Who can bully your sister and me? I swung it with a stick~"

"Really?"

"Really true!"

Well~ To be honest, Ji Jia is a lively little sister who likes to act like a baby in Shen Qin’s heart. When she is upset, she jumps up and down, and when she is happy, she hugs you and laughs. Maybe~ maybe it was really blown by the wind?After all, driving back and forth from Springfield and St. Louis in one day is tiring.

……

Shen Qin won the semi-finals here, but Yuri lost to Dominica 0:3 in the final.

But Yuri didn't show any sentimental emotion at all. You must know that this is the first time Puerto Rico has reached the quarterfinals, and this is the runner-up. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?And Dominican is an all-star luxury lineup.

So Ji Jia went to Miami to accompany Yuri in spring training, and Shen Qin also returned to the normal life of living in school, but the amount of training during the game was reduced, and the spare time was really free, so he simply wanted to go to the ice hockey team with Coach Playing, let alone real ice in my previous life, I have never even played roller skating.

Coach agrees very much, but Shen Qin can't accept what he said: "Why use second-hand equipment? How disgusting? Sweat stains or something..."

"Cleanliness! Others can't wash it?" Coach rolled his eyes: "It's a pity that all the ones I used before were damaged, otherwise I would just bring them to you. Do you know about heat setting? Second-hand ice skates will be softer, so you can wear them It is more comfortable, only novice ice babies will ask for new ones for everything.”

Shen Qin really couldn't stand it: "I'm just for entertainment!" In fact, wearing second-hand goods is no stranger to Shen Qin. He wore a lot of them in his previous life, but he only wore them after washing them himself. Now he is not happy to change them. Oh, those sports equipment are different, who knows how long they have been stored after being abandoned by the owner, maybe they are moldy and growing mushrooms~
Helpless, Shen Qin really couldn't accept wearing things used by others, so Kou Chi could only take people to buy them.

Everything in the ice hockey shop was new to Shen Qin, and the curious baby went online: "The equipment is heavier than the catcher~ Why are the skates on the shoes rounded? They don't poke people in front? Can sticks play hockey?"

Ice hockey equipment is indeed very complicated. Inside there are head pads, warm and sweat-wicking breathable underwear and stockings, and outside there are helmets, neck guards, and armor to protect the whole body. It is more complete than the catcher's little protection. Much, much heavier.

According to Coach, Shen Qin is obsessed with this catcher-like protective device, so he is so interested.

"Elbow pads and gloves are the most important thing for you now. Novices always seem to fall last, their elbows always hit the ground first, and their hands always rub against the ice."

"The ice hockey stick is also the same, the arc of the racket head~ uh~ you little rookie can use the straight one." He compared Shen Qin's height: "Why didn't you grow taller?"

Shen Qin puffed up his face: "I've grown taller! 172!"

Coach couldn't stop laughing: "Well~ from 171 to 172~" (For the sake of reading convenience, feet and inches are not used)
"How much do you weigh?"

Stare!

Coach coughed twice and stopped laughing to explain: "The height is related to the length of the club, and the weight is related to the hardness~come here~"

Shen Qin walked over in a daze, want to compare height again?
Wow~ Kou Chi held his armpits and raised his body as soon as he was light, as if he couldn't weigh it properly, he put his arms around his waist and weighed it before putting it down: "How heavy??"

Shen Qin backed away angrily: "Just ask me, 135!"

"So heavy? Why do you look so thin?"

"I'm full of muscles!"

Coach sneered twice: "The length of the cue is more suitable for the chin, and the hardness is about half of the weight." He said to the shopping guide: "Then the general one is fine, he is developing, and he will have to change it soon~"

"I want that visor with glass! Nice! Cool!"

Coach ignored: "Under the age of 18 must wear a full face mask, that kind of plexiglass you can't wear now."

"...Then I watch ice hockey players on TV without neck guards~"

"Under the age of 18..."

"Then I don't want a red mouthguard~ By the way, do people without teeth also need to wear one?"

"Ha~ In addition to protecting teeth, this can also prevent concussions!"

"Where's the stocking coat?"

"Protective gear can't be exposed during the game. We can go to the ice hockey game when it's free. Opposite Union Station is our home stadium of the St. Louis Blues!"

Shen Qin became excited, he never had the chance to watch this game: "Then I..."

"Choose something first and then go back. If you hit right-handed, then use the right-handed stick. My family has both left-handed and right-handed. You can buy a general habit first, and you can use mine in the future. Who told me that I came from your height? "

ha?Hmph~ Shen Qin pinched Kou Chi and said in a low voice and viciously: "Don't talk about development and height anymore! And don't hug me casually outside! I'm very angry!"

"Yes, yes, very angry~" Coach continued to babble without paying attention: "You can play ice hockey, but don't get too involved, after all, the state championship game will be coming soon, and the rest of the games will be all about winning and losing. You can't play when you're tired."

"Hmm~ Why do you play so much and it doesn't affect baseball? Have you never thought about playing professional ice hockey?"

Unexpectedly, Coach didn't say something like 'I'm a genius' narcissistically. Instead, he helped Shen Qin pack things into the equipment bag, and his face was not very good: "My childhood dream was to play professional ice hockey .”

Huh?Shen Qin was stunned for a moment. He thought that someone like Kou Chi, who secretly practiced pitching and was so fanatical about baseball, should have dreamed of entering MLB since he was a child: "Then how did you play baseball?"

"Because my brother used to play baseball all the time, he led me into the ditch too~"

"You still have an older brother? What about others?" Shen Qin was very surprised. Speaking of which, the two families are so close, no matter what, it was impossible for them not to have seen each other at a glance: "Still~ not here? Sorry~"

"Haha~ Don't be funny! You're alive! You're not here~"

　(For those who are interested, you can search for the 17 Cardinals vs. Pirates show to the Little League players. Our Chinese-born Keton Wang was lifted up like this~ so cute~)

　　It is said that Wang Kedun really contracted the small points of the Cardinals, and he threw himself down while carrying an ice bucket to celebrate the victory~
