"Ko Young-pyo, the starting player for Game 5, I'll think about it from today."

KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul's multiple hit. If you lose, you're done. He is determined to win without fail.

KT will play the fourth semi-playoff game against the LG Twins at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 9th. He won the first game, but lost consecutive games due to painful errors in the second and third games, pushing him to the brink.



KT is aiming to counterattack by starting Cuevas, who took six days off. He has been weak against LG in the regular season, but he expects to be a 'big game feature'. In addition, Ko Young-pyo, who was appointed as the starting player for Game 5, can also be used. In addition, Kim Min-hyuk, who was unable to start Game 3 due to a cold, returned as No. 1. It is simply an all-out war.

The following is a question and answer session with coach Lee before the game.



-Let's see if Kim Minhyuk's condition has improved.

▶I said I could play, so I decided to play.



-Kim Sang-soo's injury has worsened.

▶It's not perfect. He kept hitting the ball and had symptoms of being eaten on his fingers.

-Pitcher management.

▶I hope today's game ends with Ko Young-pyo, So Hyung-joon and Park Young-hyun.

-Ko Young-pyo's pitch count is.

▶I'm taking two days off so I'll be fine. If there is a big difference in score, or if you can finish with So Hyung-joon and Park Young-hyun, you will have Ko Young-pyo on standby for Game 5, but today is important, so I will pay attention to today's game. In Game 5, if Ko Young-pyo doesn't work, there is Um Sang-baek.

-It's my second meeting with N.C.E.

▶I dealt with Son Joo-young for a long time yesterday. The pitching style is similar to that of N's, so I think it'll be okay if you think so.

-The errors in the second and third games were fatal.

▶I've been doing well, but I think I was lucky before that, even if I made an error, I passed without anything. In a big game, it leads to defeat. Since we've been so focused, we've tried to do well with each other, so that's what the play came out. It came out anyway, so I hope we play a good game without mistakes. I didn't say anything. I didn't even look at his face. It is a burden to say not to feel pressured.

-What's the Cuevas concept.

▶If you throw well, you keep going. We need to judge the situation of the ball report. We have to play starting baseball. I want you to go more than five innings.
