[Reporter Gong Naijie/Report from Taipei] Weiquan Dragons ace Jiang Wen is worthy of this year's secondary pitching double championship. Today, he pitched 8 scoreless innings in G1 of the Taiwan Series. Together with closer Lin Kaiwei, he gave CITIC Brothers 3:0 with 2 hits to seal the defeat. He quickly won the first victory of the series in 2 hours and 18 minutes, the second fastest time in TS history. The Dragons had no adaptation period at all after playing 12 days apart.

Jiang Wen won the pitcher's ERA and strikeout title in the regular season this year. He started with 6 games and 6 games. In the 3rd inning, he was hit for the first time due to Zhang Zhengyu's error. He once faced a crisis with men at first and third base. He struck out Zhang Renwei and went to the center. In the 4th inning, Jiang Kunyu hit a double play with 1 out and 1st and 2nd base, becoming the first pitcher in the G1 of the Taiwan Series to allow at least 2 hits in at least 8 innings.

Dragons head coach Ye Junzhang said directly that Jiang Wen's adjustment after the end of the season was in place, and it was obvious that his physical condition was very good. He also named the 24-year-old catcher Lin Chenxun who was paired with Jiang Wen for his carefulness, "They have been playing together for a whole year, and this match is the same as in the past. It is an ideal match."

CITIC was unable to do anything against Jiang Wen, with only 2 hits in the game, setting the team's second-fewest record in Taiwanese competition. Only the "G7 no-hitter" in 2015 was worse. Among them, Jiang Wen was backed by a strong defense. He named Li Kaiwei's flying dive in the 3rd game and Zhu Yuxian's diving catch in the 8th game as very important, which made the frozen CITIC line even worse.

Wei Chuan played the final game of the regular season on the 4th, and it took 12 days to go to G1 of the Taiwan Competition. In the first game, he quickly got into the state of shooting and defense. Mr. Ye bluntly said that the practice games played with amateur teams during this period were very helpful, "For example, amateur overlords Heku and Lietebo, they have a lot of strong pitchers, and the players are very comfortable playing. After the first game, I feel that everyone is getting into the situation."
