Chapter 644 News of the World Top 12 Tournament

This game was simply an unimaginable play. Shen Qin ran back to the locker room red-eyed after sending back a point from the back.

Xi Chuan took the eyewash and asked the other party to flush it, and then gave artificial tears after it was clean: "Then what are you trying to do?"

"I don't know this game is this routine? You said earlier that I wouldn't work so hard to warm up."

"Warming up is indispensable, and sufficient physical activity is the best way to maintain health and reduce the risk of injury." Xi Chuan said while holding his notebook: "Anyway, the bench players have changed a few words, let's talk about the business, just the game I came here to tell you the news, thinking about ending it."

"Ok?"

"It's still related to the Olympics." (Actually, all the news comes from the end of 18 and the beginning of 19, but we plan to move forward here)

"The Chinese National Baseball Association has settled in the Shougang Building, and its future plans will be related to domestic professional leagues."

"What does this have to do with the Olympics?"

"Have you forgotten about the Guangnan Winter League and the spring training base?" Xi Chuan looked a little serious: "The promotion of the domestic league is imperative, how to arrange the time is very important, can we participate in the Winter League? What about training? These must be well taken into consideration.”

"Then there are only 6 teams qualifying for Olympic baseball, and each team has 24 rosters, but these 6 qualifications are not easy to obtain."

"Method 1 is the home team, which is the host country of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese team; 2 is the best ranking of the Asian + Oceanian teams through the top 12 in the world, of course Japan is not included here, and then Plus the first place in the Americas team."

"Then the champions of the Americas Qualifiers and Europe-Africa Qualifiers."

"The last is the 6-1 tie in the intercontinental qualifiers. The qualifications include the top 2 in the Asian Championships, the first in the Oceania Baseball Championship, the 2nd and 3rd in the weekly qualifiers, and the 2nd in the postage qualifiers. The qualifications are in order. push."

Shen Qin was confused: "So?"

Xi Chuan smiled and touched his head: "Why are you so stupid? These schedules are not simple at all. The world rankings of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are so high. It is not easy for our Hua Guo team to qualify anywhere. Do you want help? ?”

"If you can, of course you have to help!" Shen Qin blinked: "Is there a way?"

"Temporary plan? Dual nationality? Although there is no precedent and no recognition, what is the international situation? It doesn't matter if Huaguo doesn't appeal. Come, let's analyze the key points."

Xi Chuan turned to the notebook, and the complete information has been recorded on it: "Let's talk about the top 12 in the world first, let's not talk about the points, next year's session will also include Olympic qualifications, and it has not yet been determined whether the Olympic major league will let people go. .”

"The preliminaries are divided into 3 groups. Group A will be held in Guadalajara, Mexico. The teams include Mexico ranked 6th, the United States ranked 2nd, the Netherlands ranked 8th and Dominica ranked 12th. Group B will be held in Taiwan. In Taichung, the team includes Taiwan ranked 4th in the world, Japan ranked 1st, Venezuela ranked 9th and Puerto Rico ranked 11th.”

"Group C is considered the weakest, including South Korea at No. 3, Cuba at No. 5, Australia at No. 7, and Canada at No. 10. Of course, these cannot represent the absolute strength of the country, and it is still a question of recruitment."

"Afterwards, the top two in each group will enter the rematch between Tokyo and Chiba, Japan. The championship and third place in the rematch will also be held in Tokyo." Nishikawa suddenly smiled: "You should practice more for U2 at the end of the year. Next year's top 23 Hua The national team has no chance, and it happened to help Puerto Rico play seriously, which is more difficult than the WBC."

Shen Qin tugged at his hair anxiously: "You haven't touched the point yet!"

Nishikawa was happy: "That's the point. When you can help, do it! I will handle it, don't think too much about it."

"Good boy, let me finish first. According to the previous law, the top 12 will propose a tentative list of 45 people two months before the game, and then there will be a final list of 28 people. If the prize money is lower, the champion team will be $100 million, this session should go up.”

"But you have also read that the groupings of Taiwan, South Korea and Australia are actually not easy to play. If they abolish their places, they will move to the qualifying rounds. This is a very troublesome thing for Huaguo. So it is best for them to be able to play this time." Lose a spot."

Shen Qin puffed up his face: "I don't like it, Japan and Taiwan are in the same group as Puerto Rico. Although we are at the bottom of the points, we will try our best to pull them down."

"They are all professional players, why are you so confident?"

"Of course! Will there be points next year? No matter what, the 11th place is too ugly. I hope to let them upgrade more. It's so dangerous now."

Xi Chuan took a look: "The WBSC hosts the U12, U18 Little League, Youth League World Cup and the World Top 12, and the BFA is the U15 and U18+ Asian Little League and Youth League Championships. This is mainly because of Hua Guo's experience. Good place, although the difficulty is high, but Japan has not been good in this regard in recent years."

"Chinese girls are great in women's baseball games. In short, you should be optimistic about this year first. The current NCAA D1 is first. You can use it to find your form. The CCBL in the summer is used to consolidate, and the U23 in the winter is used to work hard. But this is originally in Panama. But the situation there is too messy and unsafe, so we probably have to move to Colombia. After it’s over, we’ll go to Alaska to relax, and that’s pretty much it for the year.”

So full!Shen Qin laughed: "Are you going with me?"

"I'm quite busy, but I'll accompany you to Columbia. I don't think these places are very safe."

"Very, very dangerous?"

"Buying guns and buying drugs is like playing games. A bunch of kids are tricked into being killers, and they are threatened even after playing a ball game. From time to time, the team has fewer players. Do you think it's safe?"

Shen Qin was terrified. He really had never been in such an environment. He only knew that Yuri had a good friend in the major leagues. He played with him when he was young, but he was also a black brother. But that was just heard. So gentle again! (●'?'●) "You, how do you know!? You wouldn't sneak around, would you?"

Xi Chuan rolled his eyes, he knew too many things, and this idiot's thinking jumped too fast: "Speaking of business, where are you going?"

"This is also the right thing!"

"What are you thinking about? The real thing is that after you played in Puerto Rico, do you want to try to play in other qualifying matches in Asia?"

"There's no need to ask, I'm definitely willing."

"Then you should make appropriate adjustments to next year's season. One is to give newcomers a chance, and the other is to maintain a good body. When the time comes, you will take turns squatting and catching, and you don't have to do other defenses."

"Oh!" Shen Qin blinked: "I still want to learn more, just right."
