[Reporter Luo Zhipeng/Taichung Report] In this year's post-season challenge, the Xin brothers first held a 1-win advantage, and then won the G1 draw. As a result, they lost two games in a row and were forced by the Uni-President Lions to decide in G4. In the end, the brothers defeated Uni-President 8:2 to advance to the Taiwan competition. The day after tomorrow, they will face off against the Wei Quan Dragons, the first dragon-elephant battle in 37 years of history.
It is worth mentioning that in the post-season challenge, after the Victory Cavaliers pitched the G1 starter, G4 was not included in the 28-man roster. On the contrary, the G3 starting pitcher Rogo was not only on the list, but also went into the bullpen to practice pitching in the second half of the game, ready to go into battle and completely burn. After the game, the brothers won and the team celebrated promotion, and the Victory Cavaliers were not seen at all; today the brothers practiced at the Intercontinental Stadium, and the Victory Cavaliers engaged in team practice.
As for the physical condition of the Victory Knights, brother head coach Keiichi Hirano stressed in an interview today that "he is absolutely fine." Regarding the Victory Knights' appearance in G4 of the post-season challenge and did not follow the team, Hirano Keiichi said, "There are some things that are not convenient to disclose."
In G1 of the postseason challenge, the Shengcai Cavaliers lost 1 run against the unified starter in 7 innings and won the winning pitch and the single-game MVP. Is the starting pitcher in G1 of the Taiwan Series the same as the Shengcai Cavaliers? Hirano Keiichi said with a smile, "The other team will tell us who will start the first game of the Acer Dragons, and we will tell them later." Before the start of the competition, there was a big espionage war.
