This fall, I don't need anyone to talk about. Everyone is just falling for this man's magic.
It's the season of Samsung Lions Kim Heon-gon. Since the playoffs against the LG Twins, the energy has been unusual. And 'Nemesis' meets KIA Tigers 'Otani' showing unenviable destructive power.
He has a batting average of .40, three homers and eight RBIs against KIA this season. Since the regular season, head coach Lee Bum-ho has lived under the name of 'Kim Heon-gon'. The momentum continues to the Korean Series. Following the first solo shot in Game 1, he hit a decisive home run in Game 3.
In fact, defense was more important than home runs. In the fifth inning, Choi Won-joon's timely hit was cleared with a sliding catch to overcome the crisis of losing points. If KIA scored here, I didn't know how the second half atmosphere would go.

Kim Heon-gon said "I really wanted to win. KIA is a strong team, so I was nervous because I played a persistent game until the end," he said, expressing his feelings about winning the third game.
As for sliding catches "Lions Park's original outfield ball doesn't go into the right field. But the ball disappeared in the middle. Since I started, I ran and saw it. Fortunately, the ball came into my glove" told a behind-the-scenes story.

When Kim Heon-gon asked Jeon Sang-hyun if it was meaningless to hit a home run, he left a meaningful comment, "'Actually, I didn't have time to think about it, but the players naturally have a desire to pay back when they lose.'"
