NC was on the verge of a "dream stage" by first catching the first and second games of the playoff against kt wiz, but lost the third and fourth games, so no one can know the direction of the Korean Series ticket.
Ahead of Game 5 of the playoffs to be held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 5th, Son Ah-seop said, "It's true that it's hard, but at the same time, there's a feeling of happiness. "Even if I can't help feeling tired, I want to win today and take a chance," he said.
Son Ah-seop, who is in his 17th year as a professional this year, reflects on the saying that "people should make their best efforts and wait for the will of heaven."
"If heaven helps you, you win, and if you don't help, you lose," he said. All we have to do is do our best and pour all the remaining energy into today. "
NC's batting, which had been hot, was defeated by Game 3 of the playoffs.
Game 3 was 0-3 and Game 4 was 2-11, and they were completely defeated in silence.
Son Ah-seop, at least, had hits in both Game 3 and Game 4, and is playing with a batting average of 0.353 (six hits in 17 at-bats) in this playoff.
Son Ah-seop said, "It is a matter of physical strength that the hitting cycle has been broken. I usually go out as a designated hitter, but it's really hard. "I definitely feel that the bat is heavy," he said. "I'm like this too, but defensive players have no choice but to be more difficult. It's not a technical problem, it's a physical problem," he said, explaining why NC's batters have cooled down.
Son Ah-seop, who explained that he consumes more physical strength in one postseason game than playing two full regular season doubleheaders, complained, "I went to eat beef after Game 3, but it was hard to even use chopsticks."
"It is also an old saying to endure with mental strength. But I'll use all my energy today. "I will use all my remaining energy even if I am taken to the emergency room after today's game," he said.
He also introduced a "gi fight" with kt Hwang Jae-kyun (36), who has built a friendship since his days with Lotte Giants.
Son Ah-seop said, "I originally have a pre-game routine, but Jae-gyun hyung called me out before the 3rd and 4th games. "I wasn't going to go out in the fourth game, but I went out because I was a senior," he said. "I lost my energy because of that." Today, I will enter the bus and block all contact before the game," he said with a smile.
