"Hello to all the professional baseball audience, welco to the 2013 Central League and Pacific League Exchange Gas special broadcast program!"
"As we reach mid-June, the schedule for the exchange gas is gradually coming to an end; the current rankings have also beco increasingly clear..."
"The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks are currently leading both leagues with a record of 14 wins, 6 losses, and 1 draw, a winning percentage of 66.7%, and a ga difference of 2.5. With only 3 exchange gas remaining, this margin ans they are just one victory away from clinching the 2013 exchange gas championship!"
"In second place are the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, who have also been performing excellently lately. After establishing a stable starting rotation led by ’Tanaka-Mima-Norimoto’, Manager Hoshino Senichi’s team has overco their early season slump, and their ranking keeps climbing—especially their ace pitcher Tanaka Masahiro who, in May, won the 8th monthly MVP award of his career. He has already clinched 9 wins this season without suffering a single loss."
"If Tanaka Masahiro is one of the most outstanding players during the exchange gas, then the best team would undoubtedly be the SoftBank Team. Since losing to the ho team, Yakult Swallows, at Shengong Stadium on May 25th by 3 to 4, the SoftBank Team has achieved an impressive record of 9 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in the following 11 gas, solidifying their current leading position with their excellent performance."
"As SoftBank’s Manager Akiyama said in an interview, the team’s performance can be attributed to the efforts of every player, though individual outbursts should not be overlooked."
"Among them, none is more remarkable than the team’s newly recruited top draft pick this year, the super rookie Lin Guanglai, who has made outstanding contributions to the team’s victories during the exchange gas."
"At the ga on May 24th against the Yakult Swallows, Lin Guanglai allowed a go-ahead two-run hor by Yakult’s Balentien in the bottom of the first inning, ending the ga with 4 runs allowed over 6 innings. When many thought he had hit the rookie wall and would be silent for a while, Lin Guanglai unexpectedly broke out!"
"Next, let’s watch the video—"
As the show host wrapped up the introduction, the television screen abruptly changed the scene to start playing videos of Lin Guanglai’s performances in recent gas for the SoftBank Team, accompanied by background comntary for the viewers.
"On May 28th, at Tokyo Do, in the first ga between the Giants and SoftBank, during the top of the seventh inning, the SoftBank Team had a narrow lead of 2 to 0 over the Giants. When Lin ca to bat in this ga, the situation was two outs with runners on first and second. Previous batters Yamazaki and Yanagita were both walked after being hit by pitches."
"Facing the fierce Giants fans in the stands, Lin Guanglai remained calm. With a full count of 3 balls and 2 strikes, he sent the ball into the stands of Tokyo Do with one swing, silencing the entire do full of Giants fans—this was a three-run hor, marking Lin’s seventh of the season!"
"In the footage, we can see the expression on the face of the Giants’ Manager Hara Tatsunori..."
"On June 1st, at Yahoo Do, during the fourth ga between SoftBank and Hiroshima, Lin pitched again after six days of rest, delivering a strikeout performance for the ho fans: in this match against Hiroshima Toyo Carp, Lin Guanglai pitched 7 innings, registering 11 strikeouts, allowing only 2 hits, no walks, and no runs, marking his return with his season’s sixth win. This quick rebound demonstrated his outstanding ntal resilience."
"On June 3rd, at Yahoo Do, during the fourth ga between SoftBank and Hanshin, Lin Guanglai, returning as the main designated hitter, went all out once again, proving the worth of his titles ’Hanshin Slayer’ and ’Koshien Nesis’!"
"At the bottom of the sixth with no outs and bases loaded, Lin Guanglai ended up victorious in his face-off with Hanshin’s starting pitcher Jason Standridge by hitting a grand slam to left field, instantly igniting the entire Yahoo Do, sending the over forty thousand capacity stadium into a frenzy."
"However, his performance didn’t end there. Just half an inning later, as the lead batter in the bottom of the sixth, Lin Guanglai once again sent Standridge’s pitch into the stands, setting the final score of this ga at 12-0. Notably, this was the Hanshin Tigers’ most significant defeat of the season so far, and it was Lin Guanglai’s first ti hitting two ho runs in a single ga."
"In addition, just four days earlier at Nagoya Do, Lin Guanglai had hit his tenth ho run of the season. That was in the top of the seventh when the ho team Chunichi Dragons had narrowed the score to 4-5. Lin Guanglai, leading off, sent the ball into the right-field stands, helping the SoftBank Team extend their lead. If not for the closer’s failure to secure the final outs, they might have already clinched the exchange series victory early!"
"Including a ho run at Koshien before, since the start of the exchange gas, Lin Guanglai has contributed 5 ho runs and 19 RBIs as a batter, making him undoubtedly one of the key factors in SoftBank Team’s top standing!"
"Tomorrow, with high morale and continuous victories, the SoftBank Team will host the Yakult Swallows at their ho ground, Fukuoka Mizuho PayPay Do. Lin Guanglai will also start pitching in this ga—facing the team that once caused him significant trouble, who knows if our ’Heisei Monster’ will respond this ti?"
"Tomorrow night at 6:00, please tune in to our station, where we will bring you a live broadcast of the match. As a dia outlet local to Fukuoka, we naturally hope to share the joy of the SoftBank Team’s ho victory with all the fans..."
In a brightly lit room, Lin Guanglai remained lying on the bed, eyes glued to the square electronic screen in his hand. It was still showing the footage of the match where he was defeated by Yakult nearly half a month ago.
For the past half month, he had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of tomorrow—he was ready to show the Yakult Swallows a new version of himself!
