Ch 79

One.

Angels vs. Devils.

One of Korea’s leading rival matchups in professional baseball, which even baseball fans who do not support the two teams can’t help but be interested in.

[End of Devils Attack at the beginning of the 9th]

When that match-up reached 0-0 until the ninth inning, the online worlds related to those two games had already become a meeting place for Korean professional baseball fans all over the country as well as around the world.

– Ho-Woo Lee is scoreless in another 9 innings!

– Wow, what’s this bastard?

– Today’s pitching is stable. Do you think it’s better than No Hit No Run?

Of course, the main story of those who gathered was Lee Jin-yong.

Baseball fans no longer put a question mark on his ability to show perfect pitching that no one can deny. Every time he threw the ball, he only put an exclamation mark on it.

– Is Ho-woo Lee from Goyang Stars?

B Park Jun-hyung is also from Goyang Stars.

B Wow, what are you doing, Goyang Stars?

– Why can’t our club recruit players like that from independent clubs, and spend billions of dollars to recruit assholes as free agents?

b Don’t worry. The Angels are a team asshole. See the end of the 9th.

The story about Lee Jin-yong that started like that was the last at the beginning of episode 9.

[Start of the Angels attack at the end of the 9th]

As soon as the 9th inning began, baseball fans stopped talking about Lee Jin-yong.

– Angels asshole hahaha

– An angel who gives generously lol

– Angels are falling, hold on tight!

There is no place to fall anymore lol

He spit out sarcasm at the appearance of the Angels batters going beyond the miserable ones.

[Starting Devils Attack in the 10th Second]

And when it’s the 10th second.

– uh? The relay made a mistake! It’s episode 10 and Jinyong Lee is up hahaha

b Not a mistake. Jinyong Lee

B Not Jinyong Lee. This is Ho-Woo Lee. uh? Is Jinyong really up?

Everyone was astonished.

2.

10 seconds.

On the mound of the game that has now become double digits, pitcher Jin-Yong Lee, who has been able to digest double-digit innings today, has come up.

[The iron man effect is not applied.]

To such Jin-yong Lee, the baseball manager gave him a chilling notice.

iron skill.

The skill that allowed Jinyong Lee to use his skills without consuming stamina has disappeared.

But at that fact, Jinyong Lee did not let out a sigh.

I’ve already finished the preparations, I’ve made up my mind, and most of all, what I need to do now is not to let out a sigh.

“Magic one inning.”

Without any hesitation, Lee Jin-yong immediately used his magic one-inning skill even though the batter had not yet stood at the plate.

[You have used the magic 1 inning skill.]

[All skills do not require a consumption value.]

Then he quickly covered his mouth with a glove and spoke.

“Help!”

To that, Jinho Kim shrugged his shoulders and answered with an expression on his face.

Nope?

Lee Jin-yong repeatedly said to Kim Jin-ho.

“Please help!”

At that, Jinho Kim asked a question.

– You and me, who’s more handsome?

“Of course, it’s Kim Jin-ho. So help!”

As if satisfied with that, Kim Jin-ho came behind Lee Jin-yong’s back and looked at the cluttered plate from Lee Jin-yong’s point of view and said.

– Where do we start… Yeah, that July game. I’ll have to start talking about the 11 innings legend. It was a home game at Bush Stadium. Oh, I’m talking about version 2, not the Bush Stadium you know now. Now, Bush Stadium is the 3rd version of Bush Stadium. Even if the Cardinals build a new stadium, they call it Bush Stadium and give it a new name. So by today’s standards, it would be the Bush Memorial Stadium. Anyway, that’s where I ended up with the Cubs. As I said before, the relationship between the Cardinals and the Cubs is…

very long.

“Hey handsome Kim Jin-ho, can’t you just tell me the key points?”

Of course, Lee Jin-yong, who knew that Kim Jin-ho would be a ghost who would be able to talk long enough to last all day, cut him off.

– why?

“Of course, I can hear the handsome Kim Jin-ho say day and night, but I don’t think the referee and the batter will allow it.”

– great. So what do you want to know? If there’s anything you want to know, I’ll give you some advice. Isn’t that convenient?

“What should I pay attention to in Episode 10?”

In response to the question that appeared as if he had waited, Kim Jin-ho said while looking to the side and looking at the dugout on the third base.

– For a starting pitcher, the 10th mound is like an unprecedented stage. And for batters who deal with such a pitcher, it is unprecedented for a starting pitcher to come up in the 10th inning.

Again, Jin-ho Kim said, looking straight ahead, where Jin-yong Lee was looking.

– It’s an unprecedented stage for you, but it’s an unprecedented situation for the Devils kids over there. Do you know what that means?

“The difference between the stage and the situation?”

– okay.

“What is the difference between the two?”

– Unprecedented emergency. If you look at the movie, it’s like a zombie suddenly rushing to you when you go out and say what’s going on in a power outage. What would you do?

“If we die, we will come alive.”

– I know.

Jin-ho Kim, who was talking, stood in front of Jin-yong Lee.

The translucent appearance of Kim Jin-ho obscured the appearance of the bat, and Lee Jin-yong rolled his eyes upward and looked at Kim Jin-ho.

– For the Devils hitters now, this is an emergency. It is also an unprecedented emergency. Apart from the self-esteem problem, I can’t and have no intention of accepting this situation physiologically. Of course, the Devils hitters will do their best to kill you. Since ancient times, there has been only one way to deal with such hitters.

At that moment, Jinho Kim cut my throat with my thumb.

– To kill for sure. Don’t do any fancy tricks. Put an end to the front with the best weapon you can think of!

“Play Ball!”

As soon as Kim Jin-ho’s gesture was finished, the referee shouted loudly, and Kim Jin-ho moved behind Jin-yong Lee again.

“yep.”

Lee Jin-yong looked at the batter who looked like that.

eyes full of flesh.

3.

At the beginning of the 10th inning, the Devils attack started from the 6th.

But the 6th batter didn’t make it to the plate.

The hitter on the plate is a batter of the Devils, who lacks defense, but has a high level of hitting ability.

“Blow it away, Ahn Ju-chan!”

“Give it over, Ahn Ju-chan!”

Ahn Joo-chan!

He came out as a pinch hitter in place of the 6th batter, and was looking at the pitcher on the mound as the lead hitter.

‘Lee Jinyong, you bastard.’

Also, he had experience.

Early experience with Lee Jin-yong.

In fact, that’s why he was hoping he didn’t play as a pinch hitter all day today.

Jinyong Lee’s pitching today was just that.

Even Ahn Joo-chan, who is sharply sharpening his teeth against Jin-yong Lee, doesn’t seem to have any intention of attacking him.

It’s impossible to even predict whether he will be caught with a floating ball, a ground ball, or a strikeout.

Therefore, from episodes 1 to 9, Ahn Joo-chan secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that he did not face Lee Jin-yong.

‘That fucking bastard.’

However, at the beginning of the 10th, when he faced Jin-yong Lee as a pinch hitter, he felt more intense hostility and anger than ever before.

The anger was not personal anger.

No, it wasn’t just anger.

‘Okay, let’s finish it. Throw one on your body. I’ll go up the mound and break the pot.’

It was the fear of the unprecedented monster that came up on the mound at the beginning of the 10th, and it was the hostility to fight that fear.

In other words, it was like instinct.

Naturally, there was no such thing as rational thinking for Ahn Joo-chan, who had become a beast with only instinct.

‘come.’

There is only instinctive hostility.

‘Yeah, come anything. Because now I can hit anything.’

Therefore, at this moment, Ahn Joo-chan’s senses were surprisingly sharp.

Never in his baseball career has he been sharper than this.

As soon as the ball entered the strike zone, it was far from lacking compared to the major league stadiums, and was able to be sent over the fence of Jamsil Stadium, which boasts a larger size.

When Jinyong Lee threw the first ball towards him, when he was sure that the ball was entering the strike zone.

‘come!’

He swung the bat naturally and willingly.

Whoo!

The bat he swung like that was very exciting.

Excitedly, it split the air.

This was Posted in koreanmtl.online

pop!

“Swing Strike!”

‘Damn it, Splitter!’

splitter.

It was the identity of the chogu thrown by Jinyong Lee.

He was also an amazingly awesome splitter.

‘It’s not a joke when I see it in person.’

The ball disappears near home plate like magic.

In Joo-Chan Ahn’s lifetime, such a ball was something he had never seen with his own two eyes.

However, the feeling of being at a standstill and the sense of reaching the climax gave Ahn Joo-chan confidence.

‘I think I can still play. No, you can hit.’

Confidence that you can do it.

‘Okay, just one more. Throw the splitter one more time!’

So he waited rather.

I hope Jinyong Lee throws another splitter once more.

And Jinyong Lee willingly threw a splitter in the second pitch for him.

‘come!’

This time, Ahn Joo-chan confidently swung the bat.

There was no hesitation; instead, he was full of confidence.

‘It passed…’

Even in the moment when the bat was moving, Ahn Joo-chan’s mind flashed past him as he hit a home run and cheered.

Whoo!

However, this time too, Ahn Joo-chan’s bat cut only the pitiful air.

“Swing, strike!”

Only the referee’s strike call was heard.

‘······all?’

Ahn Joo-chan could not accept that fact.

‘Uh, how?’

If it was a splitter that Jin-yong Lee threw with his first ball a while ago, it would be safe to jump over the fence.

However, Joo-chan Ahn could not even hit the splitter in the second pitch.

The reason was simple.

It is said that the splitter in the second pitch is better than the splitter in the first pitch thrown by Jinyong Lee.

‘How the hell?’

Ahn Joo-chan’s spine, which had been burning hot with confidence and hostility to that fact, cooled down.

To him, Jinyong Lee was willing to throw a 3rd pitch splitter.

“revolver.”

More awesome and faster splitters.

Whoo!

“Swing, strike, ah ah ah ah out!”

Jinyong Lee, he started crushing the demons.

4.

Roger Clemens.

A man called Rocket Man because he threw a fastball like a rocket on the mound.

A pitcher who won 354 major league victories, 4,672 strikeouts with those 354 victories, 7 Cy Young awards, and 1 MVP award.

It all went downhill with drugs, but baseball fans still acknowledged Roger Clemens’ rocket-like fastball.

There is an expression used to describe such Roger Clemens.

Roger Clemens has three main weapons: a fast ball, a faster ball, and a faster ball!

In other words, that was enough.

Even a one-pitch pitcher with a single pitch, if he could throw the ball very hard, and could throw it more and more powerfully, was enough to cook the league’s hitters.

Jinyong Lee showed that fact to the mound in the early 10th inning against the Devils.

“Swing, strike!”

Jinyong Lee, who came to the mound in the 10th inning, threw only one pitch, the splitter.

He also threw the splitter only into the strike zone.

“Swing, strike!”

That was it.

Jinyong Lee didn’t throw anything other than the splitter pitch, didn’t squirm, and didn’t aim outside the strike zone.

Instead, Jinyong Lee threw three splitters.

I threw a great splitter, and I threw an even better splitter.

“Swing, strike!”

And finally, he threw a splitter that was even faster, which was more awesome.

thus caught

“Oww!”

In the beginning of the 10th inning, Jinyong Lee, who was on the mound, made three outs against the Devils with only 9 balls and caught the 10th.

[You have succeeded in striking out three times. Bonus points are paid.]

[You succeeded in pitching 10 innings for the first time. Platinum roulette tickets will be paid.]

[Pitching 10 innings without a score.]

[Currently, the accumulated points are 18,942 points.]

And at the same time, I grabbed a new opportunity.

– You did it baby!

Even Kim Jin-ho, unlike usual, did not spare a sincere admiration for Lee Jin-yong’s appearance.

Because Kim Jin-ho knew better than anyone.

How hard it is to catch an out so perfectly in the 10th inning, and how wonderful it is.

That it deserves applause, whoever it is.

– yes?

However, at this moment, Jinyong Lee did not roar as a courtesy.

– Why don’t you fuck?

Instead, the moment he caught the last out, the moment he saw the swing of the last batter, Jinyong Lee looked at first base and pointed his finger at them.

Then I heard

downpour!

The roar of the audience chanting on their behalf.

At that moment, Jinyong Lee roared.

“downpour!”

With that cry, Jinyong Lee came down the mound.

majestic hall.

He was so dignified that no further explanation was needed, he said with a smile on his lips.

“Yeah, this is it. Now something seems to be working.”

Kim Jin-ho, who saw it, said:

-······Crazy bastard.
