How many games of the Korean Series?... “LG has 6 games and KT has 7 fingers.”
Gwangju Jeil High School seniors and juniors Yeom Kyeong-yeop and Lee Kang -cheol face off at a media day ahead of the opening of the Korean Series with 4 wins out of 7 on the 7th, "I'm happy to face them on the best stage." When asked by the host how many games they think the Korean Series will last, the LG Twins raised 6 fingers and KT Wiz raised 7 fingers. At the media day event held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 6th, a day before the opening of the long-awaited professional baseball Korean Series, the coaches and players of the two teams expected a long game as if they had made a promise. 카지노 Manager Yeom Kyeong-yeop, captain Oh Ji-hwan, and pitcher Lim Chan-gyu attended on behalf of LG, while manager Lee Kang-cheol, pitcher Park Young-hyeon, and veteran infielder Park Kyung-soo graced the event as representatives of KT. LG coach Yeom Kyeong-yeop, who took the microphone first, said, "KT is a team that has had a good experience two years ago by winning the combined championship (regular league and Korean series) and has come this far with solid power and starting baseball, so it is not an easy opponent." He continued, “Although we lack experience, I strongly felt the desire and earnestness of the players to win as we prepared for this Korean Series.” He continued, “Rather than preparing for the opponent, we focused on what we can do better to prepare for the Korean Series.” I plan to pay. “I will do my best to make fans smile with a good result at the end,” he said. Coach Yeom said, “KT’s starting lineup is solid and the batting lineup is good,” and “We have the upper hand in the regular season record against our opponents with 10 wins and 6 losses. “It was always tricky and there were a lot of games where I won due to luck, so I hope it ends in Game 6,” he added. KT coach Lee Kang-cheol said, "At the media day before the season, many people recommended us and LG as candidates for the championship, and I am happy that we played well in the season to match that recommendation." He pledged “I will prepare well and strive to be at the top with the club, players, and fans in the Korean Series, which will be held for the first time in Suwon.” The combined championship trophy was lifted at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul. Coach Lee responded, “I always think of baseball as a marathon, and I think the last section of 42.195km is the 7th game, so I think this series will go to the end.” The two coaches announced Casey Kelly (LG) and Ko Young-pyo (KT) as the starting pitchers for the first game, which will begin at 6:30 pm on the 7th. Coach Yeom, who led the baseball team playing in this year's regular season, said, "In the Korean Series, we will use careful stealing with a high probability," and announced, "Closing pitcher Go Woo-seok threw 16 balls yesterday, and it was reported that there was no problem, so we will proceed to the closing game as normal from Game 1." Go Woo-seok stopped pitching due to back pain during a practice game and was diagnosed with simple back muscle pain at the hospital. In response to LG's mobility, KT manager Lee Kang-cheol expressed strong trust, saying, "As seen in the 2021 first place match, starting catcher Jang Seong-woo's ability to block stolen bases is completely different in the regular season and the postseason," and added, "We trust in Jang Seong-woo." The relationship between the two coaches, who were two years senior and junior at Gwangju Jeil High School and worked together as head coach and head coach at Nexen Heroes (currently Kiwoom Heroes) for four years from 2013 to 2016, also attracted attention. Coach Yeom, a junior, highly praised the fact that "KT has come this far with the power of its starting pitchers based on Coach Lee's leadership, which is a big strength," and added, "I am Kang Cheol's brother in private, but I am happy to be able to compete together in the Korean Series and thank the fans." “I hope it’s an interesting match. It’s a bit awkward because they know me so well.” He then praised Coach Lee, saying, “He is a good baseball player and a leader who constantly studies.” Director Lee Kang-cheol said, "One of the reasons I wanted to go to the Korean Series was because I wanted to compete with Director Yeom on the best stage. I didn't know that people were this strict when I was with Director Yeom as the head coach at Heroes. Thanks to that, I “I think we’ve come this far. Please, Coach Yeom, please eat well,” he said, expressing his concern for his junior’s health. Lim Chan-gyu, who is well-spoken, made the audience laugh by saying, “Our team has great offense, a lot of great bullpens that can pitch the first to ninth innings, and we have a manager who uses great strategies, so we can win.” Park Kyung-soo, who played for LG but moved to KT, said, “The feeling I had when I won the championship two years ago is irreplaceable.” He added, “I came to the Korean Series after a difficult time to enjoy that feeling again, so I played until Game 7 and showed the fans an impressive baseball game.” “I will give it to you,” he promised.
