[Special Correspondent Gong Naijie/Reporting from Tokyo, Japan] The Taiwanese team of the AFC Champions League will start tomorrow night's opening game. It is confirmed that Lin Ziwei will be selected to start against the Japanese team. He will stand on the pitcher's mound at the Tokyo Dome for the first time in his career. He hopes to use this game to prove his strength and compete for the big stage of the top 12 in the world next year.

Lin Ziwei's first professional international game in his career, and his first appearance at the Tokyo Dome, he started the opening game of the AFC Champions League. His opponent was the powerful Japanese Samurai team. He said that his expectations were greater than his nervousness, because he was in a good state now and had enough confidence in himself. "I really want to show everyone the best of myself."

Lin Ziwei strongly warned the Japanese team's slugger Tomoya Masaki. He said that he saw his hitting in the Japanese competition and his condition was very good. "In fact, the Japanese team's hitters are very top-notch. I hope I can face them in the best condition and try my best to throw every ball."

The last time Lin Ziwei visited the Tokyo Dome was when he was in junior high school, and it was to watch the traditional Japanese baseball game "Hanshin vs. the Giants." He also pointed out today that the second-floor bleachers are near the advertising board "Sun Industries" on the first base side. He also bought a lot of Yomiuri Giants merchandise. "I don't know how the audience's field of view will change when they actually sit down, but the East Egg seems to be smaller, while the Big Dome feels very big."

This year, teammate Tsang Ka-fai carried the local ace of the secondary school, and almost became the third pillar of the Taiwan team with Lin Ziwei and Chen Keyi. Unfortunately, he was dismissed due to the number of innings pitched. Lin Ziwei hopes that all three of them will be selected for next year's top 12 in the world. "The top 12 is a higher-level international competition. I hope that I can perform well and give myself a chance to be selected."
