Mazi also entered the squad of 26 people, and Zhou Jie only stayed in Pingjing in the substitute lineup, so Tang Canqing calculated on the plane for a full two hours......

When I arrived at the hotel arranged by the organizing committee of the competition, I relied on the fact that she was the only one who could speak English, and booked a lot of triple rooms, quadruple rooms and double suites and double bed rooms, in short, it looked very complicated.

The coach came, and there were two staff members, the assistant and translator plus the female one, so when she saw a large stack of room number plates full of English, she was a little dizzy, and she took the room number completely according to her command, so she left a big bed room for Zhao Lianjun, and Lu Wenlong and Mazi had a room, and it was next door to Tang Canqing's big bed room......

Lu Wenlong couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and admired her for learning international business well!

However, in the evening, all the coaching staff gathered in a four-person room for a meeting, Zhao Lianjun explained to everyone the event arrangements of this competition, they were training before, and they did not take the opponent too much to do targeted training, because this time there were ten teams participating in the competition, and seven of them had not seen it appear in the world at all, and there was no way to target it.

This qualifying tournament is also very simple, that is, in Asia, there is already the right bank as the champion directly qualified, Spain is the host, Italy is the European champion are directly promoted, the strongest Americas are the United States and Cuba directly qualified, in addition to these five teams, it is necessary to determine the top three from the three teams in Asia, three teams in the Americas, two teams in Europe and two teams in other regions, a total of ten teams to advance, and finally eight teams form the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games competition lineup.

The 10 teams are divided into two groups, with the top two qualifying for the semi-finals, with the winner advancing directly and the loser competing for the last ticket.

This group was only held at the time of Lu Wenlong's departure, and the pre-match draw ceremony was very simple, Group A South Korea, Dominica, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Portugal; Group B: China, Japan, France, Australia, Brazil.

Zhao Lianjun's face was very bright: "The luck of the draw is good!" Dominica, Puerto Rico and South Korea, which seem to be stronger, are all in the same group, and at least one of them has to be squeezed out. Our side...... Only Japan is a strong team, France is basically at the same level as Australia and Brazil, and it is even slightly lower...... Don't slack off, the right time, place and people seem to be in place! ”

I was a little confident, but the next game was a blow to the head!

In the first game, the Huaguo team lost to the little-known Australian team!

Two to zero!

It's simple......

This is basically a team that has changed blood. More than half of them are young people, going abroad for the first time, playing against foreigners for the first time, and even more than half of the main players are playing their new positions in official competitions for the first time!

The South Korean team was simply wailing in the audience!

thinks that the Chinese team is simply a waste of this kind of God-given opportunity that should be given to them!

Of course, on the other hand, they will have to seize the opportunity to break into the top two of the group, and maybe they will be able to meet a weaker opponent and get a ticket.

Zhao Lianjun's coaching staff did not wail. With a calm face, he returned to the station for a meeting......

The key is Lu Wenlong!

Because Lu Wenlong was not a pitcher at the beginning of this game!

This is the conclusion of Billy King's Rausch sub-model, Lu Wenlong's most suitable position is actually an outfielder!

It's a defensive time, a position that can be easily overlooked when you're on the perimeter, and it's only when the batsman hits the ball far away that they have their business. If someone hits a home run directly, that is, the ball flies out of the field beautifully, usually the camera flies far away, and there is a stupid person chasing the ball in the air, looking at the ball and sighing at the defender, this is the outfielder! …,

So in the training stage, Lu Wenlong also practiced this position with a very curious mentality, which used to be the worst talent in his middle school team. So face Australia. Zhao Lianjun also arranged for Lu Wenlong to try this new position in the first game, just this game. People desperately grabbed two points, and when Lu Wenlong came back as a bowler, he could only ensure that he would no longer be hit by the opponent's batsman in the future, and once he came on the court as a batsman, the opponent shamelessly sent him to base every time he hit four bad balls, and then strangled other players!

Even if the Australian players are not very strong, they are still a little higher than the other players of the Chinese national team, and the players who played the new position have just entered the international arena, and they were beaten as soon as they came up, and they were a little confused, and the batsmen after that were a little out of order and were suppressed so that they couldn't score.

Lu Wenlong, as the only team member, also participated in this meeting as the captain, and did not scold him, and Zhao Lianjun also took responsibility: "I was careless, let you play the outfielder in the first game." ”

Lu Wenlong shook his head slowly, not speaking, a little uncomfortable.

The other two assistant coaches are looking to the future: "The current situation is still the same reason, except for Xiao Lu, our other batsmen are not guaranteed to help him score, and the batsmen in the new lineup do not seem to be as good as the original main forces of Zhang Jiuge and them before?" "I'm a little skeptical......

Zhao Lianjun still has the courage: "Since we have decided on a route, we must go on unswervingly, it is a very dangerous thing to swing in the formation, everyone is still running-in, and you can see that the defense is indeed in place, after Aaron returns to the pitcher position, there will be no mistakes in the whole defense......

At this time, Tang Canqing knocked on the door and came in, his expression changed slightly: "Just now I saw that the local TV station broadcast today's match with the host, and I was very happy, mentioning that three of them are second-tier professional players who play in the United States, and they have just been brought back for use!" Because of technical matters, she didn't participate in the meeting and watched TV in her room.

The room was full of surprise!

It's both good news and bad news......

The good news shows that the strength of the other party has indeed increased, dispelling everyone's doubts about themselves just now, the bad news is that this team that has become stronger in secret was actually met by the Huaguo team silently!

Otherwise, at least it wouldn't have been like losing points at the beginning?

The two coaches flipped over today's results and all the processes and found a few suspicious players: "No wonder...... Although the level of these people is not as high as that of Japanese and Korean players, they do have a background, but it turned out that we were caught off guard like this! ”

It's really a bit like the Asian Games that year, Lu Wenlong sneaked into the team and beat the South Korean team by surprise! Or did you underestimate yourself......

Lu Wenlong didn't raise his head and frown at Zhao Lianjun until Zhao Lianjun asked the two assistants to talk to the team members: "I want to think about it, we made a mistake!" ”

Zhao Lianjun was a little surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Wenlong said a little hard, but he was very serious: "I said it from my positional feelings, this model is right, when I stand in the position of the outfielder, I am really a little excited, I really want to do something, but what do you think the outfielder, the best and most top outfielder, can do?" ”

Zhao Lianjun paused, a little sluggish: "Top-notch? Not just doing the dirty work in the field? Then ...... Only ...... Catch!? ”

Lu Wenlong took off the baseball cap on his head, revealing the somewhat hideous wound line: "Yes! Catch! I'm just standing there, just trying to get a catch! I have that confidence too! But this team is really bad! There's no such thing as a chance for me to be killed! It's all grinding and chirping touching the ball on base, sacrificing hits, sacrificing bases, in short, the tricks are all speculative play styles when low-level teams face strong teams, just like the same mentality when we played the Asian Games! We're a strong team! When facing this kind of team, we shouldn't put on a formation like ours, this is the formation when facing a strong team, we used it wrong! ”…,

Catch ......

If the outfielder is the saddest defender on the field, then if there is the brightest point in a fielder's career, he will hope to catch and kill!

When a batsman can hit a beautiful air ball, far and high, how exciting it is, if the ball flies directly out of the field, it is the highest reward home run, even if it does not fly out of the field, the ball has to be picked up and thrown back to a certain base to intercept the offensive player, the farther away, isn't it the greater the chance of attacking?

At this time, the only trump card of the outfielder may be realized, of course, it is generally theoretically possible, an outfielder, if he can take off the ball in the air without landing on the premise that the ball is flying high and does not land, the batsman, no matter what the state, is out!

No matter how top a hitter is, when he encounters such a brave performance of an outfielder, he can only be helplessly out......

And at this time, the outfielder is like a pawn crossing the river, with a variety of possibilities to intercept the baserunner, in short, at that moment, the outfielder is the only bright star on the field!

But how hard is it?

First of all, the prerequisite is that the batsman must hit a nice long-range ball! , It's not too high, it's too far to become a home run, so it's almost impossible to hit a low team, because it's not a master, it's really not easy to hit this kind of ball, and to put it bluntly, it's a master!

Australia's temporarily filled team is still a second-rate team, and Lu Wenlong played the first game of the outfielder, and there was no high-altitude ball at all! He's just being wasted in that corner.

Secondly, when the high-altitude ball flies out to the outfield, there are three outfielders in the outfield, just in the middle of the two corners and arcs of the fan-shaped field, and the horizontal distance between them is almost more than 90 meters, and the longitudinal distance is about 60 meters, that is, close to the range of a football field!

Three poor outfielders plus a shortstop in the middle to catch some baseball flying in the air!

Do you know how difficult it is?

Lu Wenlong is doing this, and that model is designed for players to do what they should do in the strongest battle!

What should be done in a life-and-death battle where the weak defeat the strong.

And not for this kind of small team should do!

In the face of a small team, all the players should do what they should do!
