As the core person involved in this conflict, the state of Lin Guanglai captures everyone's attention:
After the pain subsided a little, he stood up slowly from the ground with the support of Yanagida Yuuki by his side, rubbing the area under his ribs where he was hit by the ball with one hand.
Only after confirming that Lin Guanglai seemed to be okay did Akiyama Koji feel a bit relieved, and the crowded people on the field gradually dispersed, each returning to their own player area.
However, after experiencing such an incident, Akiyama Koji was afraid of any more mishaps happening to Lin Guanglai, so he didn't dare to keep him on the field any longer—once the game returned to normal order, he signaled the chief umpire to replace him with a pinch runner, and let Lin Guanglai rest off the field.
"Laughing, you're still laughing—isn't getting hit by the opponents and suffering enough for you yet?"
