[Special Correspondent Gong Naijie/Reporting from Tokyo, Japan] The Australian team had a huge blow to the Japanese team in the AFC Champions League today. It ended 16:1 and was knocked down 7 games in advance. The preliminaries ended with 1 win and 2 losses. The quality rate of the match was significantly lowered, which was not good for promotion. In the championship game, the Japanese Samurai team maintains its "unbeaten golden status". It has swept 10 wins in 10 games in the AFC Champions League. The Japanese team's huge victory also made the Taiwan team's promotion script much simpler. As long as they defeat South Korea tonight, they can enter the championship game.
The Japanese team attacked the line for more than one round in the first game. They made four mistakes and the Australian team made consecutive hits, including Soyama Raito's grand slam. They were caught out for the first time after attacking the 13th man. It was rare for the Japanese team to change runners in the first game. In the end, they scored 11 points in a single game and laid the foundation for victory in the first game.
The Japanese team did not relax due to the offensive in the first game. Masaki Tomoya scored 2 points in the 2nd game, and Watanabe Seiya also added 2 points. The Australian team did not rely on Brent Iredale until the 4th game to break the ball. However, in the 5th game, they relied on Sasaki Yasu to hit an RBI and hit a timely hit. In the first 5 games, they scored 11 points with full firepower.
The Australian team started high and then went low, and unexpectedly defeated the South Korean team at the beginning to win the first victory in the team's history. Yesterday, they suffered a big setback by the Taiwanese team. They led from 4:2 to losing 4:6 in the end. Nelson looked heavy and disappointed. The players could not get rid of yesterday's nightmare battle. Today, they were severely attacked by the Japanese team in the first game.
The Taiwanese team with 1 win and 1 loss will play against the South Korean team with 0 wins and 2 losses tonight. As long as they win, they will advance. If they lose, the quality rate of the three preliminaries will be compared (total points/total offensive games - total points lost/total defensive games).
