Ch 200

5.

Jinho Kim said.

– There is nothing strange about the World Series stage no matter what happens.

The World Series stage is a stage where anything can happen.

It is a natural saying, but it was meant to never be vigilant and not to be reassured.

– So everyone does their best to the end. don’t look back Even if you fall on the way, go somehow. Don’t even try to crawl forward.

Advice not to forget that the opposing team does not give up until the end of the match, no matter how favorable the situation.

It wasn’t just the advice that only Kim Jin-ho knew.

It was advice that everyone who watched Major League Baseball knew.

Because of this, no one had any doubts about Jinyong Lee’s pitching in Game 1 of the World Series.

“Swing, strike, ooh!”

3 horses.

Seeing Jin-yong Lee striking out five pitches against Masahiro Tanaka, who appeared as the ninth batter, was not a single person who thought he was wasting pitches.

– Houman is only aiming for strikeouts today.

– No wonder. Because there is nothing more certain to catch an out than striking out.

– right. Strikeout isn’t the best, best way to win.

Furthermore, the world was not surprised to find out that the strikeout against Masahiro Tanaka was the ninth strikeout of the game and a strikeout of nine batters in a row.

“It’s a strikeout of nine batters in a row with this.”

“I don’t know how many times I’ve said this, but it’s amazing.”

“What’s even more amazing is that even with such a record, there is no need to write an article.”

“right. If another pitcher had a record like this, he would have posted dozens of articles, but Howman is different.”

For Jin-Yong Lee, who holds the record for most strikeouts in 11 batters in a streak in the Major Leagues, it was no surprise that he struck out in a streak.

Rather, it was something else that people were questioning.

‘But why is Lee so quiet today?’

‘Didn’t it rain once while striking out? What’s going on?’

While Jin-yong Lee struck out all nine batters, he didn’t give a single cheer.

– Heavy rain does not cause heavy rain.

– What’s going on?

– Haven’t you been abused by your vocal cords?

B It would be funny if the injury caused by throwing more than 300 innings was a vocal cord injury.

The viewers who grasped Jinyong Lee’s condition more clearly than anyone else through the broadcast, as well as the Mets fans who filled the city field, were feeling that fact.

‘Isn’t it raining?’

‘Then shouldn’t we do it too?’

‘Let’s stop for now.’

Whenever Jinyong Lee struck out, the Mets fans who had been cheering on behalf of Jinyong Lee noticed Jinyong’s stillness and began to lower their voices gradually.

Then someone in the press room spoke.

“If you set a new record of strikeouts in a row, you will be cheering. Will you still be quiet then?”

Lee Jin-yong is rather fond of cheering ahead of the new record.

When the reporters heard this, they were shocked.

“Great. Trying to break your own record on the World Series stage.”

“It’s like a monster.”

waited at the same time.

‘Then, if you set a record of striking out 12 in a row, you’ll be cheering.’

‘It’s going to be a great scene.’

‘After all, he’s a guy who knows showmanship. You’re going to try to direct a scene like this on the stage of the World Series.’

The moment when Jin-yong Lee breaks the record of striking out strikeouts once again in the major leagues!

Mets fans waited for the moment and saved their voice, and reporters wrote articles ahead of the moment.

And at the beginning of the 4th inning, Jinyong Lee scrambled to do it.

“Swing, strike, out!”

He struck out Aaron Judge, who came out as the third batter, once again, breaking his MLB record for strikeouts in a row once again.

At that fact, Citi Field vomited out what he had been holding back.

downpour!

It was such a huge shout that I thought that City Field as well as New York City had been shaken.

Through that shout, Mets fans clearly informed Jinyong Lee that he had broken a new record.

[You broke the record for consecutive hitting in the Major Leagues. A diamond roulette ticket is paid.]

The baseball manager also informed that Jin-yong Lee broke another record.

However, Jinyong Lee’s mouth did not open.

Jin-yong Lee, who struck out Aaron Judge, did not shout out cheers, but instead kept his mouth shut, fixed his messy hat, and walked towards the dugout.

‘what?’

‘What’s going on?’

There were no more cheering people towards Lee Jin-yong at the sight.

A quietness that no one expected came to the city field.

6.

When do people cheer?

when you achieve what you want.

In other words, those who do not achieve what they want never cheer.

This was Posted in koreanmtl.online

pop!

“Swing strike, out!”

That was the reason.

[You have broken the record for strikeouts in a streak in the Major Leagues. A diamond roulette ticket is paid.]

The reason why Jin-yong Lee didn’t cheer when he set a new record by striking out in a row at the beginning of the 8th.

It was literally.

Jinyong Lee, what he wanted was not to strike out in a row by hitting twenty-three, so there was no reason to cheer.

And now, even those who watched the game were guessing to some extent.

‘It’s still there, isn’t it?’

‘Crazy bastard!’

Why is Jinyong Lee not cheering in this ridiculous situation?

In such a state, Jinyong Lee looked straight at batter 6, Gary Sanchez, who was standing at the plate.

Gary Sanchez reflected in Jinyong Lee’s eyes was terrified.

The fact that even the expression of a monster now has to go beyond the level of being confronted with a colorless existence made Gary Sanchez that way.

Jinyong Lee started pitching towards Gary Sanchez.

A splitter and a splitter and another splitter.

Gary Sanchez’s bat, which hit 29 home runs this season in front of three splitters, danced three times, and the referee once again made that awkward sound because he had now done too much.

“Swing, strike out!”

Lee Jin-yong still did not cheer for that fact.

And now the crowd at Citi Field didn’t even cheer.

[You have broken the record for strikeouts in a streak in the Major Leagues. A diamond roulette ticket is paid.]

[You broke the record for most strikeouts in a single major league game. A diamond roulette ticket is paid.]

Only the voice of the baseball manager vaguely wets the quiet space.

Jinyong Lee, who finished his role at the beginning of the 8th inning, came down the mound.

– Lee, he broke the record again today. But there was no cheers.

Only after Jinyong Lee disappeared to the dugout did the Citi Field crowd open their mouths.

“I can’t believe it even when I see it.”

“It’s a strikeout of twenty-four batters in a row…….”

However, the mental state of the Mets fans was not normal.

Everyone seemed to be dreaming.

Of course, it was a reality, not a dream.

Jinyong Lee, it was a clear reality that he had only three strikeouts left towards the now ridiculous record.

– Now the 8th horse begins. The score is 0-0, and the Mets now consume one of their two remaining attacking opportunities.

And it was clear that the current score was 0-0.

“Lee’s great record is also a great record, but I’m sure the 0-0 situation will continue until here.”

“To be honest, the referee’s strike zone decision today was too generous. The Mets and the Yankees.”

“Even so, something like this would happen…”

“It’s a god’s play indeed.”

As one reporter said, it was a reality that could only be viewed as a joke from God.

“If Lee achieved Perfect of Perfect in the beginning of the ninth, and the score does not come out at the end of the ninth…”

If it wasn’t a prank of God, what could be said about a situation in which a legend that did not exist in the history of Major League Baseball might become an unofficial record because of the 0-0 overtime game?

“Yankees batters are already dead bodies, Mets hitters are dying corpses.”

“The pressure will be huge.”

The burden of that fact was squeezing the necks of Mets players, especially batters.

No, it was not a crime.

‘I feel like throwing up. No, I’d rather vomit.’

‘I’m out of breath.’

The pressure that filled the Mets’ dugout at this moment made the Mets hitters suffocate and suffocate like the gallows rope of a death row prisoner being hanged.

So was the coaching staff.

All the coaches were speechless at this moment.

Coaching was impossible in a situation that never existed in MLB history.

Just waiting and praying for someone to do something, please God stop this prank.

However, Jinyong Lee was different.

He didn’t pray to God to end this prank, he just waited for his turn.

That was it.

Kim Jin-ho also closed his eyes and waited without saying anything to Lee Jin-yong.

How much time has passed since then?

Whoa!

A sharp yet intense line of city fields reminiscent of thunder was cut in half.

– ah!

With that sound, the parabola created by the batted ball cut the city field in half.

– Joe Jones!

Joe Jones, the headache the Mets got from the Yankees cut City Field in half.

At that moment, the Mets dugout, as well as the ever quiet City Field, shouted at the same time.

downpour!

The heart, not the neck, screamed.

“Whoa!”

“Hoo woo woom run!”

“downpour! downpour!”

In the Mets dugout, the wild beasts roared like crazy.

But in front of that sound, Jinyong Lee was still silent.

He didn’t cheer.

Because I still haven’t achieved what I want.

The beginning of the 9th came to Jinyong Lee.

It was then that Jinyong Lee opened his eyes.

7.

– Lee, he’s on the mound. Going beyond the history of Major League Baseball to create a legend that will be immortalized in the history of baseball.

Now, if three batters strike out in a row, the moment when an immortal legend is born in the major leagues.

At that moment, City Field was as quiet as the world in the beginning.

Everyone shut their mouths.

Even the little ones covered their mouths with their youngest hands, and even the sound of their breath.

Chubby, chubby, chubby…

Jinyong Lee took a step towards the center of that quiet world.

He couldn’t say anything to Lee Jin-yong like that.

Not only the beasts who didn’t catch a single out today, nor even Joe Jones, who caught 24 outs with Jinyong Lee today, nor the one who hit a home run for Jinyong Lee couldn’t speak to Jinyong Lee.

Everyone, including the Mets, began to cherish awe towards Jin-yong Lee, who has now gone beyond the level of a monster.

Only one person spoke to Lee Jin-yong like that.

– Jin Yong-ah.

Jin-ho Kim, standing with his arms crossed behind the mound from the 1st to the 8th, silently watching Jin-yong Lee’s pitching, called Jin-yong Lee for the first time.

At that, Jinyong Lee did not turn his head.

Instead, he covered his mouth with a glove and stood at the plate and looked at the batter.

But Kim Jin-ho said he didn’t care.

– You are the best.

Even with those words, Jinyong Lee removed the glove covering his mouth as if he had no intention of answering.

Then, Jin-yong Lee’s deep smile, hidden behind the glove, was revealed to the world.

There was no tension in that smile.

Of course, there was no hesitation in Lee Jin-yong’s pitching.

The batting order that begins with the 7th, and toward that batting order, Jinyong Lee repeated the work he had done so far.

He threw the ball, caught a strike, and struck out.

[You have broken the record for strikeouts in a streak in the Major Leagues. A diamond roulette ticket is paid.]

[You broke the record for most strikeouts in a single major league game. A diamond roulette ticket is paid.]

In the quiet world, only the baseball manager’s voice could be heard.

At last, the sound that Jinyong Lee had so longed for came out.

[You have achieved the perfect game.]

At that moment, Jinyong Lee, who achieved what he wanted, exclaimed with cheers.

“downpour!”

At that moment, there was no more monster on the mound that had terrorized the Major Leagues.

There is only the Absolute on the mound.
