Ch 168

One.

Discrimination is everywhere.

Even if a law to prevent discrimination is made and anti-discrimination campaigns are held, discrimination based on education, background, and race certainly exists.

The same goes for MLB.

No, it can be said that the professional sports stage is a place where discrimination is more severe than anywhere else.

Even with the same performance, white or black players are better evaluated than Asian players, and there are cases where they get a chance even though their grades are low because of where they came from, or even their parents are famous sports players.

Of course I can’t figure out how to do that.

Major League Baseball could neither deny nor change that fact.

Instead, they made one thing fair to everyone.

To treat those who have shown sufficient results to become a hero.

Therefore, the major leagues were willing to treat Lee Jin-yong’s record commensurately.

[Lee, record a hit for the cycle!]

[Lee writes a new history in MLB!]

[Great pitcher from the East!]

The arrogant MLB willingly became Lee Jin-yong’s solo stage, and they began to illuminate Lee Jin-yong in every way they could.

All major league-related media exposed Jin-yong Lee to the fore, and the major leagues stepped in and made Jin-yong Lee a great player.

Jinyong Lee, from his point of view, was literally like the world had changed in the blink of an eye.

It wasn’t overnight, and the moment the match was over, Jinyong Lee’s name became as famous as a famous Hollywood actor.

There’s no way I could be sane in such a situation.

Nevertheless, Jinyong Lee did not lose his mind.

“Heavy rain, heavy rain…….”

Taking a deep breath, I said to myself, barely holding onto the spirit that seemed to fly away at any moment.

“Jinyong, don’t get excited. It’s not over yet. Wake.”

Jinyong Lee, because he had something really important.

“Yeah, I need to calm down and play roulette.”

roulette.

– Fuck you.

As soon as that word appeared, swear words reflexively came out of Kim Jin-ho’s mouth, who was silently looking at Lee Jin-yong.

– I never forget that. damn it

“How can I forget? Fuck Kim Jin-ho…”

At that moment, Jin-ho Kim shouted, cutting Lee Jin-yong’s answer with a single knife.

– hey! This is your chance to fuck me, did you mean to say that?

Lee Jin-yong was surprised to see that and said.

“Yes? me?”

– Fuck you now… You stopped talking here!

“No, you have to listen to what people say.”

– to the end?

“Yes. What I’m trying to say is, it’s a great opportunity to fuck Jin-ho Kim, and that’s what I was trying to say. Very good.”

At those words, Jinho Kim shut his mouth.

Once again, the resentment over the fact that Lee Jin-yong was made fun of was revealed on his face.

– Sheesh.

However, Kim Jin-ho’s expression like that did not last long.

– I watch it because of the interview content.

Kim Jin-ho, who was speaking, immediately burst into laughter.

With that smile, Jinyong Lee remembered the interview he had done in the interview room where countless reporters had gathered after today’s match.

– I think the best pitcher in MLB history is Kim Jin-ho, and I will do my best to surpass him.

Jinyong Lee mentioned Jinho Kim in the interview.

And he said just as Jinho Kim said.

The best pitcher in his opinion is Kim Jin-ho, and he came to the majors to surpass him.

– Yes, it should be. nothing

From the point of view of Kim Jin-ho, it was an interview that had no choice but to put a smile on it.

Lee Jin-yong also smiled at Kim Jin-ho’s appearance.

“I am glad that you are happy. I knew that Jinho Kim would really hate that interview.”

At Lee Jin-yong’s words, Kim Jin-ho tilted his head.

– Do you hate it? why me?

“Is that so?”

– What’s wrong?

“I was talking around the words that I was going to step on Kim Jin-ho.”

– What?

“There’s no big difference between jumping over and stepping on it, right? Isn’t it?”

At those words, Jin-ho Kim looked at Lee Jin-yong with his mouth shut again.

However, Jin-yong Lee prepared to play roulette with his eyes averted instead of facing such Jin-ho Kim.

Kim Jin-ho stuck out his tongue at the sight.

– Oh, you mean bastard.

Immediately, Jinho Kim shouted toward the sky.

– God, have you seen it? There’s no point in raising this ungrateful bastard! So, please give me some shit this time.

At that, Jinyong Lee said with a smile.

“After hearing that, it seems like there are about three fireballers coming out today. Okay, let’s throw 105 mph with this momentum.”

And the roulette turned.

2.

Jinho Kim.

He looked at the diamond roulette that had stopped in front of him with a surprised expression on his face.

– OMG.

Kim Jin-ho’s expression showed an expression of surprise that could not be compared with any facial expressions he made before and after his death.

To the point where it seems so natural to be speechless.

Words barely came out of Jinho Kim’s mouth.

– Does this make sense?

A voice that is closer to surprise than surprise.

With those words, Kim Jin-ho looked at Lee Jin-yong. Then, he said cautiously to Lee Jin-yong.

– Jinyong-ah, am I not looking at anything in vain right now? huh?

Instead of answering that voice, Jinyong Lee said, stroking his face with both hands as if washing his face.

“ruined.”

The color of Lee Jin-yong’s face as he spoke was as white as a ghost.

Just then, Jin-ho Kim screamed as if he had come to his senses, raising his hands flashing above his head.

– Whoa!

It was proof.

Jinyong Lee, proof that his income from roulette is not very good.

No, actually, the result wasn’t very bad.

Jinyong Lee, he won a total of seven roulette tickets against the Diamondbacks.

First triple earned two gold roulette tickets, first home run earned two platinum roulette tickets, first cycling hit earned two diamond roulette tickets, and finally achieved a quality start. I got a gold roulette ticket as a random reward.

Then I played the roulette in order.

First, I played gold roulette.

[Health has increased by 1.]

[Physical increased by 1.]

[Physical increased by 1.]

It wasn’t a hit, but it wasn’t bad either.

[You have acquired the quality improvement potion (A).]

[You have acquired the Ball Master.]

In Platinum Roulette, there were things that could even be a jackpot.

Because of this, Jinyong Lee did not have any doubts.

The fact that a fireballer will appear once in the remaining two diamond roulette tickets.

Even when diamond roulette was activated, the fireballer was clearly seated.

[Acquired Inner Eater (E).]

[You have acquired a multi-hit (E).]

However, there was no fireballer coming out of roulette like that.

– Now the game is running a little more balanced. yes it should have been

Of course, Jinyong Lee had to promise what he had so much hoped for next.

– How are you doing? Can’t throw 100 miles?

100 miles, a chance to make that dream come true.

Jin-ho Kim approached and comforted Lee Jin-yong, who had grown gloomy at the disappointment.

– Jinyong-ah, don’t be too disappointed though. huh? Someday I’ll throw It’s me, something I threw when I was in high school. Whoa!

No help at all.

“Ace!”

– Why are you so mad? Am I just telling the truth? isn’t it?

At the time of sending Lee Jin-yong’s enraged reaction to it.

downpour!

Jinyong Lee’s smartphone began to shout out loud cheers on behalf of Jinyong Lee.

Kim Jin-ho smiled at that cheer.

– Look, the phone is comforting you, right? downpour! downpour!

“Actually.”

Jin-ho Kim said while taking a throwing posture toward Lee Jin-yong, who turned on Lee Jin-yong with a smartphone with annoyance.

– Hey, it feels great when you get 100 miles on the billboard. I know, but Jinyong doesn’t know?

Lee Jin-yong ignored the ridicule of Kim Jin-ho, who had gained momentum, and said while touching the receiver on the phone.

“Yes, Mr. Honor.”

The person on the call was none other than Young-ye Lee, and Jin-yong Lee, who had a few words of conversation with him, gradually began to harden.

“Yes Yes.”

After that, Jinyong Lee shouted with a surprised expression.

“yes?”

Kim Jin-ho’s expression, who looked more than ever happy with that expression, began to harden gradually.

– Why does the atmosphere seem to be getting colder all of a sudden?

3.

Major League Baseball has always wanted young heroes.

When a young hero appears, Major League Baseball uses every means and every means to make that hero a star.

Such a major league was recently enjoying the age of young heroes.

The living legend Mike Trout appeared, and Bryce Harper, who could be called a rival to such a nonsense hitter, appeared, followed by Chris Bryant, who broke the Cubs’ 108-year curse, and Giancarlo Stanton seemed inspired by it. He challenged 60 home runs, which had disappeared since the age of drugs, and a new character named Aaron Judge appeared in the Yankees, a team representing the major leagues.

The Age of Prosperous Heroes.

It was truly a renaissance era.

However, it was also a time when there were no young heroes who were very satisfied with the pitching side.

There were many great pitchers.

Major league pitchers such as Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, and Jack Greinke were still performing well worthy of my name.

However, it was unreasonable to say that they were new stars.

For example, a pitcher like Tim Lincecum who made his first major league debut as a bullpen pitcher in 2007 and won the Cy Young the following year for the Giants.

Or because it was a clear fact that a pitcher like Kim Jin-ho, who dominated the major leagues from the moment he appeared, did not appear.

And it was also true that Major League fans felt a deep thirst for that fact.

To them, Jin-yong Lee’s appearance was like giving a glass of Coke filled with ice to someone whose throat is burning while wandering through the desert.

It wasn’t just about being great.

– Isn’t this enough to complete the verification of Howman?

– You have won 4 consecutive shutouts, including no-hit games, but what kind of verification is it? Has there been a pitcher who recently posted a record like this?

Just like he was addicted to Coke, Jinyong Lee had a magical power that made him see him beyond his abilities.

– To be honest, skill is also skill, isn’t it better to do something with that skill?

– right. Because he’s the only one who roars on the mound and kisses the bat the moment he hits a home run.

– He is the only person who hits a home run and wins a shutout right now.

– He is the only pitcher to hit hit for the cycle since the live ball era.

Of course, not everyone just acknowledged Lee Jin-yong.

As the price of Lee Jin-yong’s name rises, the number of complaints and complaints about him, furthermore, baseless accusations and swearing have increased.

And for Lee Jin-yong, there was still something they could bite.

– After all, isn’t that the 4th pick for the Mets?

– right. My current grades are the grades I’ve accumulated while avoiding the ace. If Houman had been the first pick, it wouldn’t have been like this.

Jinyong Lee is the Mets’ 4th starter.

Because of that, it is clear that he is avoiding the confrontation with the Ace.

In fact, Jinyong Lee had never met face-to-face with pitchers representing the major leagues.

– If Houman had met Kershaw or Scherzer, would he have hit a home run, let alone a home run?

– The real verification should be done in a big match.

Of course, since it is not the pitcher that the pitcher has to deal with in the first place, but the batter, it is absurd that Jin-yong Lee’s performance is really undervalued for that reason, but that was not what was important to those who criticized Jin-yong Lee in the first place.

– There’s a degree of coercion, so you can’t believe your skills because you haven’t played with Ace.

b what? Is it true?

– Houman is already a top-notch pitcher!

B Yes, it must be the 4th pick.

It’s only important that Jinyong Lee has a place to bite him.

In addition, for Lee Jin-yong, it was something he couldn’t do.

The change of starting position in the major leagues is inevitable unless a player leaves due to an injury, especially since the value of the first starting position was absolute.

ace.

Because it was the heart of the team representing the team.

– Can’t we just go with Howman as the first pick? It’s hard to hear these bastards’ claims, aren’t they?

– At least it’s hard right now. It’s not that deGrom can’t throw.

– I don’t know if it’s after the All-Star Game, but it’s impossible for Howman to go to the first start right away without a head coach and a head coach at the same time.

No matter how much my heart beats less than usual, it’s the heart that I can’t change at will.

Because of this, people were only dissatisfied with the fact that Jinyong Lee could not make it to the first round.

That was the reason.

– Breaking news! Houman 1st pick!

b What kind of bullshit?

B What nonsense is that?

B It’s not bullshit, it’s official! The director himself announced it! It’s the 1st pick for Howman!

Jinyong Lee, the reason why everyone can’t help but be astonished at his first publication.
