[Reporter Luo Zhipeng/Report from Taipei] Before the start of this year's season, Unified Lions catcher Lin Dai'an left for FA. Main pitcher Lin Anke transferred to the Japanese Seibu Lions. Patron Chen Yunwen only pitched 2 innings due to injury. Jiang Shaoqing only lost 11.1 innings. Foreign investment sharp Lions and infielder Lin Jing Kai is likely to be reimbursed early due to injury, and main gun Su Zhijie has been away from the battle line for more than a month due to injury. Even though the team is full of injured players and is in many situations, Nan Batian's annual winning rate of 52% is temporarily ranked second in the league. It is still competitive and is expected to get tickets for the playoffs.

Unified head coach Lin Yueping believes that the key is to prioritize team battles and quickly find replacements when the main players are absent. The process of finding replacements is not smooth. The team does not have much time to wait and must make adjustments quickly to find available replacements.

Mr. Bi said that the team's strength is not just about fixing a few main players. Regardless of young or senior players, as long as they can stand up when the team needs it, they can become an important strength. Especially in the latter part of the season, the main pitchers accumulate fatigue, and someone is needed to fill in the vacancies in a timely manner.

The boss used veteran Wang Jingming as an example, "Wang Jingming's condition in the first half of the season was not ideal and he was unable to provide the team with much strength immediately. However, after adjustments, in the second half of the season when the pitching force was relatively tired, he regained his form and returned to the lineup in a timely manner to help the team tide over the difficulties. This is the difficulty."
