I'm in a wheelchair...

The Samsung Lions couldn't laugh even after winning. Because of the captain Koo Ja-wook's injury.

Samsung won 10-5 in the second playoff game against the LG Twins at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 15th. After winning 10-4 in the first round, he won 2 consecutive games.



Director Park Jin-man's mouth had to be caught in his ear. However, coach Park was depressed like a loser in an official press conference after the game. Coach Park sighed, saying, `I won, but I'm not excited.'

This is because of the injury of main gun Koo Ja-wook. Koo Ja-wook hurt his left knee while trying to steal second base after hitting a hit in the bottom of the first inning. In the process of vent leg sliding, the folded left knee was caught on the ground and the knee was slightly bent.

Koo Ja-wook limped home on Diaz's double, but was replaced immediately. According to hospital examinations, the condition shocked Samsung. Fine damage to the medial ligament of the left knee. It is fortunate that the cruciate ligament is not a serious injury that completely ruptures, but the possibility of playing in the remaining playoffs has become slim. The Samsung team also said that `I don't think it will be easy to play the third and fourth games,' but a more accurate result is expected to be revealed through a detailed examination one or two days later.

Regardless of the event, it is unclear whether he will be able to perform normally in the Korean Series as well as in the playoffs, given the various cases of players who injured their knees. Treatment can reduce pain immediately, but if a baseball player does not play base properly, he cannot play full-time.



Koo Ja-wook returned to Lions Park to support the team after the checkup. After entering on crutches, he reportedly used a wheelchair to move to the dugout. It means that the injury condition is quite serious.

Director Park said, `First of all, Koo Ja-wook will accompany me to Jamsil. to have a role as a captain" he said.
