Today is the day of the #wbc World Baseball Classic # final, but the country seems very quiet, WBC Chinese team also participated, but unfortunately failed to enter the final, today's final is Japan VS the United States, held in Florida, USA, just on the morning of the 22nd, Japan defeated the United States 3-2, once again reached the peak of the baseball stage, detonated the outside social platform. ”
Japan cheered after winning the championship
This is one of the few honors that belongs to the Japanese
After the competition, the Japanese Embassy in China also issued a relevant post as soon as possible
After the Japanese team won the championship, the whole of Japan boiled, and the Japanese media even said that for WBC, the Japanese team has won all the matches from the first round, and the MVP is Shohei Otani.
The picture below is Japan's talented bowler this year, if not he is not estimated to win the final, so he was named MVP by Japan, the most valuable player, previously, against the Chinese team, showed a superb level, the Chinese baseball team can indeed see the gap.
Loudly proclaiming the spirit of the Japanese samurai, the Japan national baseball team won the World Baseball Classic for the third time in 14 years since the second edition in 2009.
I have to say that the Japanese team is indeed very good at playing baseball, but that's all, baseball is one of the few sports in Japan that can be mastered.
In Japan, baseball is called "national football", which is very popular in Japan, which is also in addition to judo, sumo, let people know that Japan plays baseball is powerful, in Japan, baseball is more popular than football, but then again, baseball is not a mainstream sport.
Baseball wins America like table tennis wins China
A blogger in Japan said:
Recently, Japanese sports have been a bit strong, just after 14 years, the Japanese team won the World Baseball WBC championship. It was also the first time that Japan and the United States met in the final of this event. Although I don't know much about baseball rules, I still look very burning, and the crowd of people enjoying the flowers in the park suddenly screamed.
One netizen said that baseball wins the United States like table tennis wins China.
Some netizens said that they could not be so compared, and the American team was not the dominant force of Chinese table tennis at all, so there was no need to compare.
Some netizens boasted that Japanese baseball has always been strong, not suddenly strong.
But this netizen's words are the truth, but so praising Japan, it is uncomfortable, and then a netizen hit the face, and that's it, but in the just-concluded All England Badminton Championships, the Japanese team did not reach the final in five events.
In the US Embassy in Japan, the Japanese also arranged for American soldiers to watch the game together, but it would be embarrassing to see the American soldiers at the end, should they cheer along.
Japan defeated the United States, but at a cost, and if it won in baseball, the United States will definitely double down on it elsewhere.
The Chinese team lost, although the defeat was glorious
Whether it is football or humble baseball, Chinese people are expecting, no matter how many times they fail, how many times netizens scold, deep down, everyone hopes that they will go out and achieve good results.
However, things are not so good
In the above progress chart, I couldn't find the Chinese team
A netizen in Japan said:
"The Chinese team also participated, but it lost worse than the national football team"
It was really miserable, and I quit early
On the 13th of March, they lost 2-22 to South Korea, and the Chinese team ended their journey with a 0-4 loss.
After exiting, Chinese fans regretfully expressed their hope that the next main game would be seen.
The strength of Chinese baseball is still too bad, I have to admit it, but for this kind of niche project, the country does not pay attention to it is also a very important reason, many people do not know how baseball is played, Kim Il I do not understand.
This time he was taken away 8-1 by Japan and 22-2 by South Korea.
Netizens also said that it is understandable, although the defeat is still glorious
"I think every player is not bad, almost all of them have performed brilliantly, I can only say that they have too few stages, more games will be stronger and better, looking forward to the next edition, and looking forward to the domestic league, the national baseball team cheers!" Come on Chinese baseball! ”
"We had too little experience in the game, and overall, we were quite satisfied, but we were always a little bit embarrassed when we lost to South Korea."
So does Chinese baseball still have a chance?
Improving strength is key
If South Korea is almost the average 2A level, Japan is 4A, Australia is 1A ~ 2A, then China is almost below 1A, it is difficult to change in the short term, and the domestic league has few matches, the level is poor, if you want to go further in the next WBC, I am afraid that you need to introduce stronger foreign aid.
