Chapter 263 Australian Kangaroo Legion
Ji Jia came back very quickly, as soon as he saw Shen Qin, he hugged him and didn't let go. He was so flustered that he didn't even dare to say words of comfort. So he is not at ease.

"Qin Qin, don't listen to what strangers say."

Shen Qin nodded obediently: "Don't worry, I only listen to you. Yuri and I talked about moving, I have no objection, as long as you are happy."

Ji Jia's eyes were a little red, he touched his head and sighed: "Really?"

"En." Shen Qin gently patted Ji Jia's back: "Don't think too much."

"We'll talk about it after you finish the game." Ji Jia wiped her eyes before letting go of Shen Qin: "But I can't go watch, I'm sorry."

"What's the point?" Of course Shen Qin wanted her to go, but he also knew that only by leaving could she solve the matter with Al. No matter what the truth was, no matter how curious she was, as long as it would make Yuri and Ji Jia If you are uneasy, then even if you don’t know, it actually doesn’t matter.

……

Coach brought a gift to Shen Qin, which was a plastic-packed MLB toy, three mini boxes, one was open, and inside was Yuri's cartoon toy, only the length of a finger.

"What you get in the box depends on luck, you try it." Coach unpacked the package and handed over two mini boxes: "Mini dressing room wardrobe."

Shen Qin was a little dazed, this was the first time in his memory that he received a toy from a 'peer' in his two lifetimes, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

"Qin Qin?"

"Oh." Shen Qin blinked hard, and then started to take apart the toy.

"Ah! It's him!" The first box opened was the 'biochemical man' Pujols who was transferred from cardinal to angel.He said and handed over another box: "You come here."

"Good luck." Coach opened it and saw that it was the Marlins' ace pitcher Jose Hernandez. He carefully put it away and took out a few badges: "Collector's edition, we'll have it when we get to Williamsport." Exchange it with someone else."

"Keep it." Shen Qin became happy: "I have a bag of ordinary ones, enough for a long time."

"Cheapskate~" Kou Chi came over with narrowed eyes: "How was your relationship with Al?"

"Not bad, but my family doesn't agree with me doing this job, I'm sorry~"

No way~ Kou Chi thinks he still understands Ji Jia and his wife, how could he disagree?It's true just looking at Shen Qin's guilty look...

Shen Qin hurriedly explained: "Actually, I really want to go. It would be better if you could help me talk to them~ And I haven't received my first day's salary yet..."

Coach laughed, and he actually believed it. He pulled the person upstairs and said, "I'm going to Williamsport a week in advance. You should prepare more things, uh, and put on the catcher's gloves."

Shen Qin was taken aback, and asked ecstatically, "Can I squat and arrest?"

"What are you thinking, we still have to practice~"

Shen Qin, whose illusion was shattered, jumped up with a cry: When will my dream of squatting and catching come true!

(mlb's first game at Bowman Stadium in Williamsport was on August 2017, 8, between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals, which was moved forward to 20 and changed to the St. a plot)
……

Williamsport is located in Pennsylvania, and Shen Qin and his team came here a week in advance for adaptive training.

Williamsport has many compound training bases, enough to satisfy teams from all over the world.Quinn also popularized some interesting history here for the players.

The potato incident is one of the most interesting ones.During a game in 1987, a catcher named Bresnahan changed his glove when the opposing team had a player on third base.

There is a potato hidden in the new glove. He pretends to throw the potato for a pass, luring the runner back to home plate, and then kills the runner on home plate with the real ball hidden in the glove.

Although it did not comply with the rules, this interesting story was passed down.

Shen Qin really wanted to go to the field to have a look, but was rejected by Quinn: "Now you will start the catcher's fielding and infield practice with Cidia."

Shen Qin touched his ears, a little unbelievable, and jumped up excitedly only seeing Quinn's confirmation expression: "Ah!! Really! Really! It's great!"

"Yuri called me and said that you have started strength training, so you can try it. I hope you will not disappoint me. If you are not as good as Scydia, you have no chance to play."

The players on the team were all confused about Quinn's decision. After the game entered a double-elimination system, it was inevitable that the most difficult position of catcher would need a substitute. But that person was Shen Qin, which made everyone confused. , well, although he is a member of the Molina family, that does not mean that he must be a good catcher~
Not to mention what about third base?
"Shen Qin is still guarding third base. I will change it according to the situation. When Sidia wants to rest, he will go to left field, Marcel will return to third base, and Shen Qin will be squatting. Do you understand?" Quinn I didn't miss the loss of Cidia, and patted him on the shoulder: "The infield can't be trained in a short time. In the outfield, you can better adjust your defensive state. I believe you can do it!"

Cidia nodded, as long as the team can win, he can accept any scheduling.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Lin Duo shouting: "Look!!!"

A huge inflatable kangaroo rose up from the clearing between the short trees, swaying towards the Warriors with big, dull eyes, its head getting a little scary.

Everyone was stunned, only Shen Qin was so excited, he likes kangaroos, he likes them!The hall wall of the orphanage is covered with cartoon kangaroos, but it is a pity that I have never seen the real ones.

The team's dormitory building is right next to the training ground. The two courts intersect diagonally and can accommodate two teams to train at the same time. Naturally, the building next door houses players from other teams.

At this moment, players from the other team were pumping up the inflatable kangaroo and fixing the leash. Marcel was the tallest, jumping and looking past the manicured bushes: "It's the Australian team."

Just as he was talking, a fat stuffed kangaroo flew over from a short tree, which startled Marcel. Before he could get angry, a giggling boy emerged: "Hello! I am the Australian Power Rat Catcher. Matthew~”

Matthew picked up the fat kangaroo that landed early, looked around and stuffed it into Shen Qin's arms: "You are the youngest, I'll give it to you."

Who is the youngest? !Besides Quinn, who is older than him here?Shen Qin held on to the kangaroo doll tightly, complaining in his heart, but he had no intention of returning it at all. He just looked at Matthew's outstretched hand in a daze, what's the matter?Do you still want to shake hands?

After half a day, a sentence of thank you popped up.

Matthew touched his head suspiciously: "Didn't you say to exchange gifts? I gave you the kangaroo, what did you give me?"

God!Shen Qin was stunned. Can such words be said directly?

"Ha~" Kou Chi smiled and leaned over to bite his ear: "Qin Qin, you don't have such a big thing to exchange~"

Shen Qin hesitated for a long time before stretching out his hand: "How about giving it back to you? I don't have anything that big to exchange with you~" Don't take it back!Don't take it back!Psychologically, I would say, 'It doesn't matter, I'll give it to you' ~ something like that ~
"Okay then." Matthew hugged the kangaroo back, looked at Shen Qin's surprised eyes and showed a big smile: "We'll change it when you have something big!"

He pointed to the building next door: "I live in the first room on the second floor, I will save the kangaroo for you first. You are welcome at any time~" He also muttered: "The coach didn't say that everyone will be ready Is it an exchange? Nope!"
