[Reporter Lin Youchen/Taichung Report] In last year's post-season challenge, the United Lions were the team that won the walk-off, and won the first game and drew in the best-of-4 series. However, they lost 3 games in a row to Lotte Momomon and watched Lotte advance to the Taiwan competition. In this year's post-season challenge, the Lions were the first team to win with a walk by their opponent, CITIC Brothers. They were given a draw after losing the first game, but forced the game to the last game of the day.
One of the keys to the counterattack in the Lotte series last year was that when Wei Nengdi lost 6 points in 4.2 innings in the second game and was very likely to lose, the team relied on the team's counterattack to tie the game and Song Jiaxiang's bye hit to regain the victory and extend his life. Wei Nengdi was abnormal in this game. After only one day's rest, he finally came on board as a post-war reinforcement, and together with the overtime, he threw 2 scoreless games across the board. On the line, Lotte waited for Lin Zhiping's key 3-pointer, and they combined their efforts to win the final game.

The starting pitchers of both sides have "covered their cards" today, and it is foreseeable that all pitchers will be empty-handed. On the CITIC Brothers side, the options include Zheng Haojun and Wu Lichen. The foreign players who started the first two games, the Cavaliers and Felix, may also be on standby. The Lions are trying their best to copy the "let 2 chase 3" script. In addition to Wu Zhiwei and Guo Junlin as starting options, Blake, who only threw 88 pitches in the first 5 games, may be waiting for an opportunity to board today whether he is a starter or a reliever.

When he returned to Taiwan early this morning for an interview, he said that his goal for next year's season is to enter the 26-man roster for the opening season, and he will focus on strengthening his fielding range during the off-season.

The Dodgers used a special training method to shorten the distance between the pitcher and the pitcher in response to the extremely fast fireball of the Brewers' ace pitcher Michalowski. The results were remarkable in the first game of today's National League Championship Series. Mischolowski was replaced after only pitching 4.1 innings. The Dodgers led 1:0. Although it was later equalized, it successfully restricted the performance of the opponent's ace pitcher.
