KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul was not satisfied with the victory in the first round of the semi-playoff against the LG Twins and showed his willingness to sweep the game until the second round.
KT will play the second semi-playoff game against LG at Jamsil Stadium on the 6th. He caught the first game 3-2 a day earlier, holding an 87.9% chance of going to the playoffs. If they win the away game and the second game, the possibility could be even higher.
Manager Lee will start as Kim Sang-soo, who suffered a finger injury on the day. KT's starting pitcher is Um Sang-baek who won 13 games during the regular season. After playing the fifth-place tiebreaker against SSG Landers on the 1st, he will take four days off. The following is a question and answer session with coach Lee before the game.
-Kim Sang-soo is going to participate.
▶I had a good record with Lim Chan-kyu. I told you to prepare since yesterday.
-What are Oh Jae-il and Moon Sang-cheol's choices.
▶The opponent's record was clearly different.
-The small standard is.
▶It's not the best ever. (laughs) I liked it even more when I was young. He seemed to be sorry that he couldn't come back early. He wants to help the team. It seems that such minds are united one by one. I've had that image since I first saw him, and he's a very good player. If you throw it for a day, you have to take a day off.
-If it rains and the game is canceled.
▶I thought that if it was canceled when there was a rain forecast before, Eom Sang-baek would take five days off.

▶ Jang Sung-woo does what he does, and the pitchers look at the center and throw it, but it gets caught outside the zone. We have a lot of fastball pitchers, so we ask them to look at the center and go in. Let them train themselves before the game. It's been like that all along.
-The third round selection is.
▶I'll tell you if I win today. It's Benjamin in the third round. That's what I originally thought of the rotation, and Cuevas's throwing a lot of all games also has an impact. If it goes well, I couldn't help but think about the Samsung Lions rotation.
-I changed Hwang Jae-gyun's batting order.
▶I'm in better condition.
-Whether Kim Min will be used or not.
▶There is a stack. The player himself says it's okay. Because Ball doesn't go the way he thinks. I'm getting ready, but I'm looking at the timing. I'm trying to use the best pitcher. In the first round, Kim Min-soo rested for a long time and said the ball was good, so he prepared it. There was a breaking ball, so it was a card to face LG hitters. Kim Min, please be good to me. I've come all the way here. Cho Hyung-joon can't go out today, so I'll think about where to use Kim Min.
-Woo Kyu-min is not coming out.
▶The regular season LG match was good. But there are a lot of LG left-handed hitters. It's good to have a difference in scores. Since I don't have a walk. However, the game continues to be tight, so we will see the timing of Woo Kyu-min's introduction.
