Chapter 855 Open for Business! Teeing Off with Jiyeon (Thanks to the Leader of Youyou for the Reward)
On January 24, the weather was pretty good except that it was a little cold outside.
Sitting in a nanny car, Lin Cheng was a little listless.
It was supposed to be a rare weekend, but he was forced to work.
Today, Lin Cheng will throw the first pitch for the second round of the playoffs for the KT Wizards baseball team.
This is not uncommon for a club under KT. In 2018, Mr. Dai attended the activities of the KT baseball team.
In fact, the Korean baseball league has already entered the off-season at this time of year in previous years, but because of the long-term suspension of the epidemic this year, it was already very late when it resumed.
Even so, the Korean professional baseball league could have been completed in December, but when it entered the playoffs, there was an incident in which a player was found to be infected after the game, which caused the league to be interrupted again.
In this way, the Korean professional baseball league was rarely dragged into January.
After all, the operation of the Scottish Premier League to issue the championship trophy in advance according to the points in the middle of the game is still not suitable for baseball, and the epidemic is not serious enough to announce that the remaining games will not be played.
Under this special background, the Korean professional baseball team has come up with a new promotional trick.
Because of love, let baseball accompany you to celebrate the Spring Festival!
Indeed, there are still 20 days until the Spring Festival. According to the five-game three-win and seven-game four-win system starting from the second round of the baseball playoffs, if the full game is played, it may be possible to delay the championship until New Year's Eve.
"Ms. Shengxi, is it really not because I am cheap that you let me come?"
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, the woman next to him almost laughed out loud.
She is Ji Shengxi, the operating assistant of the KT club. This year, she transferred from the parent company of KT Culture and Sports, the upper level, to participate in the operation of the club.
"Really not, in fact, your activity fee is not cheap, and in fact, the club does not want you to come. It is the company's strong request."
"Oh... What's the matter with Jiyeon?"
There is also Park Jiyeon who will throw the first pitch with Lin Cheng today. Lin Cheng knew it two days ago.
"I don't know, maybe it's more interesting to see you guys tee off together?"
"Is it really not because of the show with Heo Soo and Lee Sun Mi? You guys copied this too?"
Ji Shengxi waved her hand, "No! Don't talk nonsense, this is not copied, this is a long-decided schedule."
Two days ago, DK officials just released a show recorded by Heo Soo and Sun Mi, and KT immediately asked Lin Cheng and Park Ji Yeon to do it together.
It's hard for Lin Cheng not to suspect that KT's operations are copying the homework of competitors.
The home court of KT Wizards is in Suwon City, which is about 50 kilometers away from the base in Seoul. At 1 pm, Lin Cheng followed Ji Shengxi to the outside of the Wizards' home court.
Lin Cheng and Ji Shengxi went out for lunch first, and sent a message to Park Ji Yeon while eating.
As a result, Park Ji Yeon said that she had arrived and was getting makeup.
"Sister, I'm so hungry. Can you bring me a meal? I don't want to eat bread."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Hotpot."
"(Shocked) Are you kidding? Kill me."
"Haha! I'm kidding. Bring me some soup and rice."
"OK."
"And... is this event really not related to you?"
In Jiyeon's opinion, her current popularity in Korea is not enough for KT to invite her to pitch the first pitch. She thought it was because of Lin Cheng.
Although she has participated in the recording of popular variety shows since the end of last year, and her personal Youtube channel is now subscribed, South Korea has been disliking them for several years.
KT Wizards are not strong in Korean professional baseball, and they didn't even win any Korean professional baseball playoffs before this season.
But thanks to the attention paid to baseball, KT Wizards can be regarded as the son of KT Group. Since its establishment in 2015, every KT spokesperson has pitched the first pitch for KT Wizards.
This year, KT finally entered the playoffs and made it to the second round. It can be said that this is the most important round of the game since the establishment of the team. Logically, they should have asked their own spokesperson to kick off the game.
Now KT has several popular artists among its spokespersons, but in such a game that is very important to KT Wizards, Lin Cheng and Park Ji-yeon were asked to kick off the game.
"I told you that this has nothing to do with me. I was planning to sleep in with my girlfriend at home today, but I wasted a lot of time to kick off the game with you."
Seeing Lin Cheng's reply, Ji-yeon's touch of emotion immediately disappeared.
"Ah! Do you feel wronged to kick off the game with your sister?"
"Hahahaha... My phone is out of battery, bye."
Lin Cheng decisively threw away his phone and buried his head in eating.
After dinner, Lin Cheng packed a bowl of beef soup rice for Park Ji-yeon.
Although it is the most important stage of the Korean professional baseball playoffs, due to the epidemic, only one-tenth of the seats are open in the stadium, and the flow of people is not large. Lin Cheng saw Park Ji-yeon who had just finished putting on makeup and was eating bread in the dressing room.
"Hurry up! I'm almost starving."
Seeing the soup and rice in Lin Cheng's hand, Park Ji-yeon immediately threw away the bread in her hand.
After Park Ji-yeon had her meal, the two had a simple practice in the indoor training ground behind.
Park Ji-yeon pitched and Lin Cheng hit the ball.
What surprised Lin Cheng was that Park Ji-yeon's pitching was actually done in a good way.
Although it was too difficult for her to throw into the strike zone, the pitching speed was not bad. Lin Cheng estimated that it was around 70, worthy of being from the powerful girl group.
"You can't believe it? I threw the first pitch for the Twins ten years ago."
Park Ji-yeon was proud for only a minute, and found that her pitches were always hit accurately by Lin Cheng. She began to put all her efforts to increase the strength of her pitches, and soon she was exhausted and gasping for breath.
The staff next to her hurriedly dissuaded them, saying that they were just practicing a little bit of the feel and didn't let them do it for real.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the two stood on the baseball field and greeted the audience at the scene under the introduction of the host.
Then, Lin Cheng wore thick equipment, a helmet, and picked up a baseball bat to stand in the batter's box, and Park Ji-yeon stood a little in front of the pitcher's box in a KT Wizard jersey.
Although not many people in the audience knew Lin Cheng, many KT fans had been waiting for Lin Cheng to appear in front of the live screen.
All kinds of barrages for Lin Cheng and Park Ji-yeon were overwhelming.
Because they had to take care of the female guests, many times the first pitch would not let the girls stand on the pitcher's board to pitch, and Park Ji-yeon did not stand too far away.
Jiyeon's slender legs were wrapped in jeans. She bent one knee like a pitcher, touched the ground with her right foot, and threw the baseball in her hand.
This ball obviously did not enter the strike zone.
But out of courtesy, batters usually swing the bat no matter how the opening guest pitches the ball. Lin Cheng made a slight adjustment this time, and swung the bat violently after seeing the incoming ball.
Bang!
There was a very obvious sound, and the ball flew high, and it took a long time before it landed on the edge of the outfield.
The audience exclaimed, and then gave a very warm cheer.
It's outrageous!
If Park Jiyeon pitched harder, Lin Cheng would have hit a home run.
The catcher squatting next to Lin Cheng was dumbfounded, but Park Jiyeon ran over happily and raised her hand.
"Lin Cheng."
Seeing her gesture, Lin Cheng subconsciously high-fived her.
"Yeah!"
At this time, Lin Cheng reacted and held down the cheering Park Jiyeon.
"Hey! We are rivals, what are you celebrating?"
"Yeah?"
Jiyeon was confused.
The audience watching the live broadcast were already laughing like crazy.
