"I didn't want to give you a single point." I want to finish in Daegu with a 4-0 margin."

KIA Tigers have a 90% chance. This is because they caught both the first and second games of the Korean Series at home Gwangju. Coach Lee Bum-ho said, `I'm wary of a 10% chance.' But it's true that he's really gained a lot of advantage.

Who will have the most stake in winning two consecutive games. I want to pick Jeon Sang-hyun. When the team was losing 0-1 on Sunday, the game was on the verge of a crisis with runners on the first and second bases with no outs in the sixth inning. The game was stopped here due to rain, and the game continued to be suspended two days later on Sunday.



Manager Lee pointed to Jeon Sang-hyun as a pitcher to hand over Lee, and Jeon Sang-hyun blocked the first batter, Kim Young-woong, bunt, and third base, and the atmosphere immediately crossed over to KIA. KIA won the first game against all odds, and with that momentum, swept to the second game.

Jeon Sang-hyun, who met ahead of Game 3 at Daegu Samsung Lion Park on the 25th, said "Who will go out kept changing. I might go out I was preparing with this thought, but I heard from catcher Kim Tae-gun and finally heard that I was going to play in the sixth inning when I came out on the field."

When asked if he expected slugger Kim Young-woong to bunt, Jeon Sang-hyun said, `Honestly, I knew how to hit it. Of course, I thought about bunt too. When I heard that I would hit a right-handed pitcher from the other side, I had no choice but to think of a strong ball. I didn't care and just thought about throwing my ball."

When Jeon said he was thinking of running the game that he could give one point on the bench, he laughed, saying, `I threw that I never gave a point.'



Jeon Sang-hyun is from Daegu. Coincidentally, he is playing his first Korean series against his hometown team. Jeon said, `It's my hometown team, but I really wanted to win.' `I think it's more fun to play the Korean Series in Daegu, and also against Samsung.'

Jeon Sang-hyun continued "It was my first appearance in the Korean Series, and it was very Lunar New Year??C. Everything is the first time. In his first appearance, he also received the Daily MVP. It was meaningful and glorious. It's more fun than nervous, and I just want to confirm the championship quickly."

When asked mischievously, "Is it 4-0 or is it a victory in Gwangju?" Jeon Sang-hyun answered "unconditionally 4-0." It would be better to win in Gwangju, but the future is unpredictable, and all the players are working with the idea of finishing in Daegu" he said.
