Chapter 284 – Episode 282. Asian Games Finals. (3)

Ta – Aak!

It’s real this time. The hit was fast, and it disappeared far away from the fence in an instant. A perfect home run that no one can deny.

“What is the bastard splitting?”

Moreover, when I came to bat, seeing the expression of the pitcher who was splitting hardened, made me feel twice as happy.

-Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maengho! Ji Maengho! Ji Maengho!

And the sound of cheers from the audience.

‘Fuck, this is it. How dare you cheekily throw a change-up? Also in the zone?’

He must have analyzed it, but he threw the ball like this. Even if he got hit, it was cheap. I slowly circled the diamond while looking at the guy’s frozen expression.

“It was good. “It’s Meng Hao.”

“Coach, this is Ji Maeng-ho.”

After giving a high five to the third base coach, I stepped on the home run and looked around the stands to see that most Korean fans were standing up and chanting my name.

‘Yes, this is it.’

“What is a home run?”

“Brother, I am Ji Maeng-ho.”

“I know, dude. Let’s go in.”

“Okay.”

And as I entered the dugout with Joo Seung-cheol, the most intense celebration of the Asian Games came over me.

“It hurts! Fuck! Etc! Etc.!”

“Bitch, just endure this much!”

After the team members’ enthusiastic congratulations, Jang Woo-ju, who was putting icing on his shoulder, approached.

“Wow, bro, did you hit a home run to make me the winning pitcher in the finals? After all, my brother is the only one.”

“Bitch, I’m the only one, right? “I have to feed this bastard everything from one to ten?”

“… “It’s a baseball story, right?”

Is this a 2 point difference?

“Hey, don’t ignore me.”

Considering the remaining pitching staff, this was enough of a score difference to win. In my opinion, the other pitchers on the national team were much better than Jang Woo-joo, who only had a fast ball.

“Hey!”

“Bastard! Hello to my brother, Rani. Anyway, kids these days are a bit cheesy.”

Damn!

When he was trying to teach Jang Woo-joo how to be polite to his seniors, Lee Yong-gi’s hit came out. And Chen Jianhao gets into a war of words with the coach on the mound.

‘Now that I think about it, I said during the strength analysis class that he was a player with some physical weaknesses, right?’

The reason why the coach came up was very obvious. The decision was ultimately made in Taiwan’s dugout due to the hit-home run-hit streak that started with Joo Seung-cheol. And in the end, Chen Jianhao comes down from the mound in tears.

‘Baby, you were smiling confidently earlier, but now you have a good expression.’

And on the mound instead of Chen Jianhao was Yu Weiming, who had been the starter three days ago when they faced each other. Yu Weiming, who took the mound as a starter and threw a lot of balls in that game, was on the mound.

“What, why is that guy coming out?”

“Wow, you completely changed the player.”

“Aren’t you going to take a two-day break? “I think I threw over 100 last time.”

“Anyway, it’s not some 80s baseball. “Taiwanese bastards are pushing themselves too hard.”

The players began to get upset at the appearance of Yu Weiming. Pitcher management that deviates from common sense in modern baseball.

“Ugh, but I think I would have gone up if I were in this situation.”

At that time, Chae Jae-hyeon, who was the starting pitcher in the match against Taiwan, muttered. The other pitchers nodded as if they sympathized with his muttering.

“Well, it’s the national team.”

“There’s the final. It looks like the country has also gone up.”

Dedication to the country. Yu Weiming sacrifices himself for his country. I somehow sympathized with that feeling and was a little moved. Because I too have felt that way at WBC.

Although I set many records in the KBA, if I had to choose the best moments of my baseball life, I would choose the first home run in the WBC and the time we beat Japan. There was something that touched my heart about representing my country.

“Tsk. It’s a bit pitiful.”

Even if you know it’s impossible, if you’re not confident

When sympathy for Yu Weiming, who took the mound to dedicate himself to the country, was about to arise, the pitching coach spoke up.

“Well, you guys should go up. There is a military exemption.”

And with just those words, the players who felt sorry for Yu Weiming started to burn again.

“Siwoo! “If you look at me, I will kill you!”

“Let’s get it over with here!”

“Hey! “Even the cub who started two days ago can’t start, right?”

My voice is louder than when I hit a home run.

“Choi Si-woo! If you can’t get over this, swim and go to Korea!”

I also added my voice to it.

“… While speaking informally to Siwoo…”

“Don’t be damned, cheer for yourself quickly.”

Of course, there may be a way to target other Taiwanese pitchers after Yu Wei-ming goes down, but it was natural that no player would have such complacent thoughts in this hot situation where Yu Wei-ming put his career on the line.

“Choi Si-woo, fighting!”

Did they hear our voices?

Ta – Aak!

The cheerful sound of the ball reverberates through the stadium through the sound of cheering. Taiwan’s center fielder followed the hit and dived, but the center fielder’s glove split the air,

“Run!”

“Lee Yong-gi! Lee Yonggi!”

Lee Yong-gi ran all the way to home. Taiwan’s right fielder, who made a cover play, catches the ball and throws it to the second baseman. Lee Yong-gi’s position is between third base and home. Compared to when he started from first base, his speed was noticeably slower and his panting breath was visible even from the dugout.

“Please, please!”

“You pig! Run quickly!”

At the same time as the second baseman’s throw enters the catcher’s mitt, Lee Yong-ki slides into the groove.

“Three leaves! Three leaves!”

“Please… !”

The dugout became quiet waiting for the referee’s call sign, and soon the referee spread his arms wide.

“Safe!”

-Wow!!!

-Lee Yong-gi! Lee Yonggi! Use it!

“Lee Yong-gi is cool!”

“Add 1 nice point!”

“It’s done!”

Lee Yong-gi’s extra point set the dugout on fire again, and we warmly welcomed Lee Yong-gi, who scored the extra point.

“Evil!”

“Courage! “Your speed is almost that of a fierce tiger!”

“Wow, this is the quality of a captain!”

“Okay, so stop hitting me, you bastards. And the guy who just called you a pig should turn himself in quickly.”

“Seungcheol.”

While Joo Seung-cheol was being harassed by Lee Yong-gi, the 7th batter, Kim Jin-beom, got on base with a walk and continued the opportunity, but Yu Wei-ming caught the 8th batter and our attack in the bottom of the 6th ended with 3 runs. It happened.

“Ruler! 3 points is enough to win, right? Let’s stay calm and make no mistakes!”

“Let’s go!”

“Korea! Fighting!”

In the top of the 7th inning, it was Kim Won-ho on the mound for Korea. Wonho blocked Taiwan’s batters with a good ball and a three-way strike. Then, in the bottom of the 7th inning, a new pitcher appeared on the mound for Taiwan, as Yu Wei-ming seemed to have come up to settle one out count, and 9th batter Choi Jae-hyun hit the first pitch and made a double.

Then, Kim Dong-jin hit a sacrifice hit to send Choi Jae-hyun to third base, and Kim Hwan-young hit a hit to call up a runner on third base. And then Joo Seung-cheol’s home run. The score immediately became 6:0, and a new pitcher changed in my at-bat.

‘Looking at the condition, it looks really crappy?’

Maybe it was because I had just seen Chen Jianhao’s pitch, but the new Taiwanese pitcher’s pitch was quite poor.

Ta – Aak!

I easily passed the ball and created a 7-point lead. After that, we were able to win the gold medal with a final score of 9:1, beating Taiwan, who were discouraged.

“Then, shall we take a picture while biting into the gold medal? Come on, kimchi!”

And the gold medal I tasted for the first time was quite thrilling.

-[AG] The baseball team wins! A huge win of 9:1!

… The game was quite intense. South Korea’s starting pitcher Jang Woo-ju displayed a courageous pitch against major-leaguer Chen Jianhao, and Taiwan’s starting pitcher Chen Jianhao faced the Korean batters with skillful pitching as expected of a major-leaguer. However, the tight balance of the game was broken in the bottom of the sixth inning. With two outs, Joo Seung-cheol was on base, and Ji Maeng-ho, who had hit a double in his previous at-bat, came to bat. Ji Meng-ho lifted Chen Jianhao’s change-up over the fence, and this home run became the final home run. …

Winning!!!!!!!!

Wow, I was so scared until the 5th episode

ㄴDefinitely a major-leaguer is a major-leaguer.

ㄴ and Ji Maeng-ho went crazy, hitting two home runs today as well.

-[AG] What does a gold medal taste like?

… The Korean baseball team is winning the gold medal.

ㄴㅋㅋㅋ It’s so bright

ㄴJi Maeng-ho looks good…

ㄴOnly the fierce tiger god is visible in the photo. Is this normal?

-[AG] Military service broker Ji Maeng-ho? Batting average of 0.833, 11 home runs. Conquered Asia!

… Meanwhile, in this Asian Games, Ji Maeng-ho recorded 15 hits in 18 at-bats, 11 home runs, and 19 RBIs, proving why he is currently the hottest hitter in Asia. …

Wow, the record is crazy. Is this a human?

Even if a major-leaguer comes, I don’t think we’ll be able to achieve these results. This kid is just a learning machine haha

No, it’s not a training machine. Taiwanese pitchers are also major-leaguers.

ㄴㄴIf you go to the major leagues, Chen Jianhao is everywhere

ㄴㅅㅂ They are robbing members of society and saying that they like it.

ㄴㄴㄴI came here haha ​​Congratulations on the bronze medal haha

-Wow, the record of a fierce defender is crazy haha

ㄴThe commentary said a major league scout came, but isn’t the fierce defender going to the majors? It’s done.

Does the major look like a dick?

ㄴㄴHuh, you robbed a major-leaguer today, right?

-Seriously, does being a fierce protector work in the majors? Looking at Chen Jianhao opening up today, it seems like there’s a chance, right?

ㄴHonestly, it seems to work

ㄴChen Jianhao is an obsolete

ㄴBut this kid is amazing at beating up guys who are slow with the ball, but I don’t know.

For that matter, his performance against Jang Woo-joo is good, and he is also good against mercenaries.

ㄴㄴIt looks like it’s because Meng Hosin is perfect at Yanghak, and he’s also good against fast balls haha

-I watched baseball today, and Maeng Ho is so cool!

ㄴI’m also hooked these days~

Me too! I saw him in Jamsil the other day, and he gave autographs well and his smile was charming!

ㄴI make good money, and if it weren’t for my husband, I would definitely take it hehe

ㄴThese days, my daughter and I are in love with Maengho haha

-But I feel like I’m screwed

ㄴWhy?

Aren’t you unable to adapt to fall baseball after going to school as a fierce defender?

ㄴㄴㄱㅊ KBA is also a good school for Maeng Ho-shin

No, I’m drunk.

[This batted ball! Center field! Catch it! Game over! The Hancheol Grizzlies successfully advance to the semi-playoffs by defeating the Shilla Triggers!]

[As the Hancheol Grizzlies won one game first, the 4th place team, Hancheol, is also moving up.]

[Jamsil rivalry between Hancheol and AT! It will unfold in the semi-playoffs! Caster…]

“In the end, Hancheol won.”

I turned off the TV and looked for the bat. This is because my heart got hot while watching the fall baseball game and I wanted to cool off with batting practice.

“Meng Hao, come swinging?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, let’s work hard and win.”

“Sister, just trust me.”

There were two days left until the semi-playoffs, and the first postseason of my life was approaching.
