Chapter 53 The Pain of 'Mermaid'

(Thank you Uesugi Xiuyan for your reward)
^^
"Ah!!!" Shen Qin screamed: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!"

"Hold it!" Yuri pushed down Shen Qin who was struggling to stand up: "Listen to me, I don't teach ordinary people! Bend one leg and squat down, and straighten the other leg as much as possible ! The closer to the ground, the better. For the ball that lands early, this posture is the best, and it can effectively prevent explosive shots.”

Shen Qin broke out in cold sweat, his thighs seemed to be torn apart, and gasped for breath, he retorted: "That doesn't have to be so low! I don't want to do the splits! One leg is bent as agreed! Why do I bend both legs? Are you going to straighten?! It's a fallacy!"

"Hahahaha~ A player who can't do the splits can't be a good infielder!"

This kind of explanation with a smirk is completely unconvincing to Shen Qin, it is definitely a naked ambition!Gritting her teeth, she said, "I'm going to be a catcher! If you want to avenge yourself again, I'll tell my sister!"

Yuri made a frightened expression, but he poisoned Shen Qin without hesitation: "Your sister can't help you with this, because what I said is true! As long as you become a catcher, Then you can't avoid first base! A first baseman can't do the splits! That's a field bomb."

"I, I, I'm the left fielder now! Fielders don't do splits! It hurts too much!" Shen Qin is really not coquettish!On the contrary, his joints are quite soft, but this does not mean that his ligaments have been stretched, nor does it mean that he splits!So the torture at this moment is also real!

"Bah! Men will do what they say!"

"I'm still a boy!" Shen Qin felt that he was a mermaid whose legs were about to melt, and compared to his thighs that were about to split, his dignity was nothing!He is just a child!
Yuri continued to smirk: "I see that you are quite assertive no matter what, it is said that you are a man with independent thinking!"

... Shen Qin deeply realized the importance of strength at this moment, if he can resist!Never screaming in the yard!You can even see Kou Chi waving at himself from the window across the road. Don't think about it, he must be laughing so hard that he's about to get down!
alright!No face!

"what!!!"

"Still barking! Stop it!" Yuri picked out his ears, and he felt that his ears would ring if he kept on. He still remembered the boy who was obviously a little indifferent when he met on the side of the road. He couldn't believe that he was in front of him now. Scream!Ha~ I can perfectly contract his laughter at the end of the year!

"Okay, okay! Squat down!"

Shen Qin grinned and glared at Yuri: "Didn't you say you can't squat in Asia?"

"What I'm talking about is that you can't use your toilet squatting posture! It's too standard Asian squatting!" Yuri was still very careful when teaching, and he didn't joke: "Try to separate your feet and keep your center of gravity forward. You can take this posture when the ball is on the ball and the opponent wants to watch the ball and choose the ball, but in most cases, I personally don’t recommend you to do this. You should maintain a state where you can get up or move quickly at any time. In this case, the soles of your feet are completely on the ground or half suspended. , the difference is huge.”

Shen Qin is a very serious study person. Whether he was in school before or now in the Little League, he actually listens very seriously. He also practiced with the catcher team at that time, but what the catcher coach said was not like this: "I didn't say that Should the upper body and head be as still as possible? Or the arms, wrists, gloves, etc.?"

Tsk! ! !Yuri squeezed Shen Qin's face angrily: "Hey! Are you stupid! Am I better than those catcher coaches in your school?"

There is no way to refute such narcissistic words!So angry!Shen Qin puffed up and chose not to speak.

Yuri, who was not in the audience, naturally couldn't perform a personal performance, so he could only cough twice and continue to speak seriously: "Ahem~ As a catcher! Your first step is to accurately judge the referee's strike zone today, and then according to Take this good ball to match the ball and cheat the ball!"

"Keeping your upper body and head still is a foundation, but in an official game, the referee will put his hand in the middle of your back. In fact, his eyes are following your torso. Believe me, sometimes your big moves are also It will bring special effects, of course, the premise is that your arms and wrists must be kept very good!"

"When turning a bad ball into a good ball, your arm should drive the glove to cover the ball path and the referee's sight. In this process, the range is very important, and the referee must feel that ~ oh ~ this is in the strike zone ~ actually the ball It's a bad ball, it's just being driven into the strike zone by your glove."

Shen Qin was puzzled: "The referee is so stupid and can be a referee?"

Boom!hiss~
Yuri flicked his fingers cheerfully: "The catcher is too good~ The technique of framing is amazing."

"Don't be too rigid, remember one sentence, except for serious catches, all your actions are to deceive, to deceive opponents, to deceive referees, and even to deceive the pitcher you are paired with."

"Let the pitcher have an illusion of, oh~ I'm in good shape today, and the ball is very stable. Sometimes things like self-confidence are magical, and proper enhancement is definitely beneficial."

"But the coach said..."

"Listen! Me! Say!" Yuri stretched out his finger again as he spoke, making a gesture to flick. Seeing Shen Qin squinting his eyes, he changed the flick to touch amusedly: "A catcher is a position that requires special talent. , strength, spot observation and so on are also closely related to talent, but they can all be improved to a certain extent through various exercises and professional guidance. But the catcher is not good. Your control, observation, restraint and The adjustment of one's own mental state, these illusory things cannot be measured by data, and there is no way to give guidance to make it have a substantial improvement, uh~ maybe it can also improve? But after all, the trained catcher is just a template Situation. Just like what you keep saying—the coach said! Many things are useless to say, what I want to teach you is my own experience.”

Shen Qin was a little confused, but his expression became serious, because he knew that Yuri was also serious: "Then~ what about you? Who taught you before?"

"Coach!" Yuri shrugged helplessly: "But in the process of my growth, I found that those are not all so easy to use, so I gradually consciously pondered, changed, and corrected~ Then you saw it too! I I'm pretty optimistic about myself…”

This time Shen Qin didn't hate Yuri anymore, and only asked with some doubts: "Then what the coach said is useless?"

"Of course it is useful. No matter how talented you are, you must have a solid foundation. I hope you will lay a solid foundation, but don't be superstitious about the foundation, and don't be assimilated."

Shen Qin was suddenly a little uncertain after being told: "Then~ I should be talented, right?"

It was the first time for the two of them to talk about this issue in such a formal way, and Yuri's expression softened: "You have good speed, good shoulders and reflexes, and we will do strength training next, but this can only be said Your physical fitness is quite suitable to play baseball, or to be a fielder, but it is not enough to be an excellent catcher. I will say that if you can see the talent in this aspect, it must be fake. Don’t worry, take your time. Come on, you are not the kind of jumping character, I believe you will be very suitable."

Speaking of this, Yuri smiled and took Shen Qin's shoulders: "Besides, your dream is not to be a left fielder. If you can't be a catcher, an outfielder is also very good."

Shen Qin didn't pay attention to the last sentence at all, and only looked at Yuri with bright eyes. It was the first time he saw such a gentle Yuri. He didn't play tricks or pretend to be honest...Father...Is this how it feels?Usually able to fight, make trouble and provoke, and is always reliable at critical moments.

"Why are you dazed?" Yuri pushed Shen Qin: "Pass the ball, pass the ball, and accurately judge the rebound direction of the ball that cannot be caught is also very important..."

, Turning around, Shen Qin rolled his eyes, sure enough!I was moved for less than three seconds!
