[Reporter Gong Naijie/Report from Taipei] Wei Chuanlong changed the batting order tonight in Game 4 of the Taiwan Series, striving to throw down the Taiwan Series championship ribbon for the first time tonight at the Taipei Arena. Head coach Ye Junzhang revealed, "There will be a very strong pitcher tonight." It is stated that ace pitcher Jiang Weld will be on the roster tonight, keeping the chance to pitch tonight.

Jiang Wen pitched 100 pitches in 8 innings in Game 1 on the 17th. He will take three days off tonight to serve in the bullpen. If the Dragons get a certain lead, he has a good chance of becoming the last pitcher on the mound (a pitcher who stands on the mound at the moment of championship). Jiang Wean said bluntly: "This will be the most glorious moment of my career."

Even if he takes three days off to stand by the bullpen, Jiang Wen said, "It feels very good now. Throughout my career, I have often pitched from the bullpen, so I know what that environment feels like. If that moment comes, I will be happy to help the team."

Weiquan pitching coach Navarro put Jiang Welding on the playing list tonight, which surprised Mr. Ye: "Are you sure?" But Mr. Ye also said, "Wu Duo will also be listed in this game. I think (Jiang Welding) is just put on the available list. If there is a next game, I will definitely want Jiang Welding to pitch."

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
