The 39-year-old famous Japanese player Yang Daigang will play the last game of his 21-year career today. He will serve as the starting center fielder for the Oisix Niigata Swan King, which is also the most representative role in his career. He was interviewed by Taiwanese and Japanese media before the game. When talking about the significance of standing on the court in this capacity for the last time, his eyes were red at one point, "I feel very happy to be able to play this role in the last game."

"For me, the first bat and the middle hand symbolize my own goals and are also an honor." Yang Daigang said that standing in this position for so long has a lot of meaning and great feelings. "This position is very important to me."

As for his emotions about the final game at this moment, Yang Daigang said frankly: "To be honest, when I first drove to the stadium, I was a little reluctant and nervous." But as soon as he arrived at the familiar stadium, his body naturally switched back to player mode and started stretching and running to complete the familiar daily preparations. "After completing these actions, I feel more relaxed and can enter my own game."

The HARD OFF ECO stadium was also filled with congratulatory flower baskets from all walks of life today. Yang Daigang was very touched when he saw the full blessings. He still maintained his humorous nature, "I am very happy, but so many flowers are a bit painful for me as a person with hay fever." One sentence made the sentimental atmosphere instantly lighten. He then said with a smile: "Seeing these flowers, I feel very happy, happy and happy."
