[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Brewers, the king of this year's major league regular season, will start the National League Championship Game G1 showdown with the defending Dodgers at home tomorrow. Brewers head coach Pat Murphy also said in an interview today that he must go all out to defeat the Dodgers.

Last year, as the Dodgers were heading towards their second consecutive World Series title, they swept the Brewers in the National League Championship Series with 4 wins, including Shohei Ohtani's G4 performance of three shots in a single game and a scoreless performance of 10K in 6 innings. The Brewers won 103 games in the regular season this year, ranking first in the major leagues. They once again broke the record for most wins in a single season in team history set last year. They eliminated the Padres in the divisional round and faced the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series for two consecutive years.

Regarding the meeting between the two teams again this year, Brewers head coach Murphy said: "Being able to play against the Dodgers, a winning team, is a very special opportunity in itself. If we want to write a wonderful final page for the Brewers' road to the championship, it must be a story of defeating the Dodgers and successfully advancing to the next level. This is the script it should be."

Facing the star-studded Dodgers, there are still many old faces this year. Murphy also expressed his respect, "I respect Dodger head coach Dave Roberts from the bottom of my heart, as well as Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Max Muncy) and other players." Talking about Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani, he said more bluntly: "He is the most elegant man in the world." But Murphy immediately emphasized: "They are all very good players, but we just want to beat them hard."
