Wang's Korean entertainment

Chapter 974 Rewind ([-])

Baseball, baseball, is a kind of collective confrontation sports game that hits the ball with a stick.

In the United States, baseball has a status comparable to that of rugby, and is listed as one of the "national sports". Even the American basketball, which is famous all over the world, has to come second.

Americans seem to be born with an indescribable enthusiasm for this kind of sports that can directly express the beauty of power.

Naturally, as an out-and-out American, neither Nancy nor the others, nor Zheng Xiujing who grew up in San Francisco, is no stranger to this sport.

It can be said that in a group of people, he is the only one who is a complete baseball layman.

In San Francisco, there are not many baseball stadiums. Although the large stadium opposite Taco Bell is now called SBC Stadium, it is called "the best address in baseball" and is the only stadium in the United States that can hit wet ball home runs. It is obviously impossible for a few brats to use it as a place to settle "grievances", especially... a few black teenagers.

Therefore, even though he should have thought about it long ago, after he arrived at the destination with Nancy and others, he still couldn't help feeling a little strangely in his heart about the American's dedication and love for baseball.

This is an underground court. It used to be some kind of gymnasium, but it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time. The original good badminton courts and a large basketball court were all kinds of "artificial partitions" Board" and divided into several different sports areas, the most of which is the baseball field...or maybe it is a baseball field?
This is obviously a gathering place for black people. Walking down the rusty iron frame stairs, what you see is the eyes of a passing black person, either indifference or indifference. Examine, or be curious about.

Most of them don't look friendly.

Thinking about it, I know that two yellow-skinned little ghosts broke into the black territory. Fortunately, this place looks relatively formal. In addition, neither of the two of them is blond, and they are not too old. Otherwise, , he was thinking about whether he should pull Zheng Xiujing around and leave.

"Hey! Look who's this? A little tiger who wants to be in the Dodgers ~ Ha ha, come here! Boy! I thought you were staying in that shitty place in Los Angeles and weren't going to come over!"

"Hehe, Uncle Alfred (Alfred)..."

"Hey! Throw me another ball!"

"Over there! Oh, please, what are you hitting?"

"Your ball obviously missed the edge and flew out, it can't be counted!"

……

The high-hanging lights sprinkled incandescent lights to every corner below, and the underground court was full of noisy and lively sounds.

The faces of Nancy and the others were very contented, they were very familiar with this place, while Tiger was negotiating with the middle-aged man who seemed to be the owner of the stadium, Oh Soo-jin took a look at the surrounding situation, pulled him, and the two of them sneaked aside Whispered.

"This is Uncle Tiger's place. Don't worry too much about OPPA. I have been here with Nancy and the others a few times before. The people here are actually quite easy to get along with."

The girl's first sentence seemed to have seen some worries in his heart, and she explained to him first, giving him a reassurance.

To this, he seemed unable to give any other response except that he could nod his head to express his understanding.After all, none of the other girls showed any signs of fear, and he alone seemed to be looking forward and backward, which was a bit unreasonable.

"Worrying is not very worrying... isn't it your friend?"

He smiled, then turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but asked with a little doubt: "It's just... shall we play here later?"

"Yes, here!" Zheng Xiujing blinked and nodded decisively.

He raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, his expression couldn't tell what it was like.

Someone once said that when the baseball bat hits the ball into the sky and the audience watches the shadow of the ball go out of bounds, that is the essence of the game.

But the stadium they came to now is not only located underground, but even the divided baseball area is very strange.

He doesn't know much about baseball, but at least he knows that a baseball field is a fan-shaped field.

The court where Nancy and the others came did not have so much area for layout, so each court was divided into a rectangular area where five or six people could stand side by side, and the longest distance was only about tens of meters by visual inspection. , like the starting point marked out two places, and at the end of the other side, there are two huge iron rings hanging high.

At the beginning, he didn't understand how to use such a venue, until he watched a few people use it, he suddenly understood...

Strictly speaking, because of the limitations of the venue, the sport of baseball has been changed beyond recognition here. In other words, it is purely a recreational practice activity.

The pitcher stands in the field, and the two baseball players stand on the base bag at the starting point. There is no catcher, no base runners, and no cooperation at all.

The rules are very simple. The pitcher throws the ball, and the two baseball players hit the ball into the air. If they can hit the hoop at the end, one point will be scored. After a certain period of time, the score will be counted, and the one with the highest score will win...

The rough simplification made him have the illusion that he was going to play spot-up shooting for a while.

"Originally we are not professional, just playing for fun, OPPA, do you really want us to find a professional venue to compete?"

As if knowing what was going on in his mind, Oh Soo-jin whispered in his ear again in an unintelligible way.

However, as soon as her words fell, a rather loud voice accompanied by Nancy's recognizable cheers reached the ears of the two of them.

When the two of them subconsciously turned their heads to look, they just saw a familiar burly figure enter the field, raised the baseball bat in their hands high, and swung it violently the next moment!
"boom!"

A black shadow visible to the naked eye quickly rushed across an iron ring on the other side, and slammed heavily into the wire guardrail that hit the edge of the court.

It wasn't until it fell off the barbed wire with two "clicks" and slowly rolled away on the ground that it was clear that it was a polished baseball.

"Good job Tiger!"

“Oh, Los Angeles Boy…my roar man! (Oh, that Los Angeles boy…my roaring boy!)”

Nancy, who was in the bystander crowd, flew straight into her boyfriend's arms like a black butterfly, and kissed him generously and passionately on the cheek.

"..."

Unlike the cheers over there, after seeing Tiger hit that powerful shot that was like hitting a bull's-eye, Oh Soo-jung and him looked at each other and fell silent.

After a while, the little girl carefully tugged on his sleeve and asked, "OPPA...you really don't know how to play baseball?"

He glanced at the girl, and then smiled helplessly in a half-joking tone: "That depends on how you define it. I learned about the rules of baseball on the way here, but knowing the rules does not necessarily mean you can play baseball." , I really haven’t hit a bat in baseball.”

"Hey! But why haven't you played baseball before? Huh? I remember that baseball is also very popular in China!"

I don't know if she was a little stimulated by the future that she was about to foresee, Zheng Xiujing frowned slightly, pursed her small mouth, and muttered to him with some resentment.

"Attention does not mean that everyone will."

He curled up his lips, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "How many people have you really met in Korea who can practice baseball?"

"Then what shall we do next?"

"Hmm..." He pondered for a moment, blinked and said, "Why don't we admit defeat? It's just a friendly match anyway, and it won't matter if we lose."

"ah!"

What responded to him was a clear and sharp coquettish.

"if not?"

A faint smile flashed across his face, he shook his head, glanced at Nancy and the others, whose atmosphere was still as if they were celebrating Christmas, and whispered extremely rationally: "If you lose in front of everyone, in the end It might be a more embarrassing situation..."

Oh Soo-jin bit her lower lip, frowned for a while, and finally let out a sigh of relief, squinted at him, and said with a pout: "...Okay, I'll talk to Nancy later."

He originally raised this opinion, but unexpectedly when Zheng Xiujing really accepted it, he was the one who glanced at the girl in surprise.

Because being sensible is one thing, how to do it is another.

If people in this world could really act according to their own reason, then there would not be so many irrational consequences.

He could see Oh Soo-jin's obsession with victory earlier, without him, the girl originally planned to use violence and would not give in, but now she is willing to accept the choice of making concessions to her friends who are competing with her?

For a while, he couldn't figure out what was going on in Zheng Xiujing's heart.

But the girl's next muttering just answered the doubts in his heart.

"...Forget it, OPPA is enough to bother you today, and I don't want you to make a fool of yourself in front of everyone with me..."

Hearing well, he heard Oh Soo-jin muttering in self-pity, his face became a little unnatural, and his brows were wrinkled for no reason.

If he could, he would rather tell the girl... Sometimes, the thought of being considerate of others is more likely to be a whip on their back.

Because, this seems to be telling them invisibly that the reason why things ended like this is because of you.

No one would be willing to be a trouble and burden to others, and Oh Soo-jin was not willing to continue to create trouble for him, and correspondingly, he was not willing to be a trouble to Oh Soo-jin himself.

Although Oh Soo-jin's words may not be all correct, but think about it, if he hadn't appeared today, maybe the girl still couldn't escape the fate of being ridiculed, but it definitely wasn't the current ending.

"Hey! Krystal!"

Just at this moment, a loud shout came over, and both of them turned their heads to look, and saw Nancy's black-skinned face full of pride.

"How about I give you a chance and admit defeat now?"

The black girl's tone was also full of arrogance and pride, which made the unwillingness on Zheng Xiujing's face even more intense.

But just when she took a deep breath and was about to say the submissive words that made her feel extremely aggrieved, a slender and slightly cool palm suddenly patted her shoulder.

Looking back in a daze, a helpless and solemn handsome face jumped into his sight.

He grinned at her, thought for a while, then sighed, and suggested, "Why don't you give it a try?"
