The Samsung Lions also benefited from rain.

Players who were in poor condition after the first game gained time to recover.

Koo Ja-wook, who led the first game to victory with a decisive three-run home run and a three-hit game, complained of dizziness after the game and couldn't even be interviewed.

The next day, on the 14th, Koo Ja-wook said, `I was in bad condition before the game and had a headache, so I rested as much as I could before the game. It's much better than yesterday. You don't have to worry too much.'

Samsung manager Park Jin-man had a different opinion.

Regarding Koo Ja-wook on the 14th, "It is said to be better than yesterday, but I don't think it is 100% normal. I think I was very nervous before the series, and I wasn't in good condition even before the playoffs. I think I played the game while I was not in perfect physical condition. Nevertheless, I saw him lead the team as a leader because he showed such concentration during the game."

Coach Park said ahead of the second game on the 15th, `It's much better than yesterday, but I think it's up about 80%. Yesterday it was 60%, and today I think it's around 80%. I think I'm in good shape to play."

Proof that there was a lot of stress even before the series due to his responsibility as a captain.

The pressure that I couldn't tell others was headache and dizziness. That's how lonely and hard the leader's position is.

It is surprising that he is performing at his best even in poor condition while playing the role of captain leading the team.

Koo Ja-wook "I think he looked bad because he was dizzy. I was worried about damaging the team until that moment," he said.

Then "A lot of fans came and watched, so I thought I shouldn't collapse." I was able to win my first fall baseball victory in Lapak, and it felt good to have me there. The defense was better than what I did well, and I think it was the result of all the players' focus on the dugout and the ground"Credit to my teammate for the victory in the first round.

It is also positive that Ryu Ji-hyuk, who received acupuncture treatment at an oriental clinic on the 14th due to symptoms of throat, gained time to recover his condition.

Director Park Jin-man said of Ryu Ji-hyuk "I got a lot better after treatment yesterday. My lips were puffy. As expected, it's been a while since I haven't played a game, so I'm physically tired because I don't have immunity. As expected, rain has a positive side to us"I tried to defend myself.
