Now that it's worth a breath, it's a 'classical series' with the revived Samsung...

In professional sports, 'Derby' is an essential element. The scene becomes hot only when there is a rival match. Fans watching are also interesting.

There are also many rivalry games in the KBO League. The most representative one is the LG Twins and Doosan Bears, who use Jamsil Stadium as their home ground together.




And the hottest matchup in recent seasons is 'Classical Series'. The two pride representing the Yeongnam region, the Samsung Lions in Daegu and the Lotte Giants in Busan. The two teams wore "Old Uniforms" in their showdowns, arousing fans' nostalgia. In addition, it gave us the fun of seeing it as a huge blood clot just by meeting it.

This year 'Classic Series' will open its first show at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu from the 18th. The temperature difference between the two teams is subtly different.

Lotte clearly wants to participate in the battle for the lead through this rivalry. In the early days of the opening, he suffered a slump due to the severe slump in the lineup, but he took the victory little by little and swept the three consecutive games against the Kiwoom Heroes during the week. The rise following the winning series of the NC Dinos three consecutive games over the weekend. Except for LG in the first round, this season's league features few wins from 2nd to 10th. When Lotte won three consecutive games, it tied for third with 11 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses.




Unfortunately, Samsung is the team that tied for the third place. Samsung showed an upward trend to match the evaluation that it is one of the favorites. However, he forgot all the wins he earned by falling into a swamp that he unexpectedly lost four consecutive games.

Still, he took a breather by winning the last game of the three consecutive games against LG on the 17th. Coach Park Jin-man's 'poison baseball' worked. At the game on the 17th, he delivered a strong message to the players by sending the players who called up in the second division right away. Don't let go of the tension. In addition, there was only one home run on the road, and Diaz's big home run gave him the lead in the game.

Samsung, which successfully managed to overcome its losing streak, will return to the team including leadoff Kim Ji-chan on Wednesday. Therefore, for Lotte, which has been excited for the first time in a long time, Samsung is bound to be a burdensome opponent.

KBO League SSG and Lotte match held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th. Lotte Davidson is pitching as a starter.
But it's worth it. For now, Samsung's strong starting pitchers can be avoided. Samsung is scheduled to play Lee Seung-hyun, Lee Seung-min and Hurrah in the three consecutive games. Lee Seung-hyun and Lee Seung-min are less burdened by their names, and Furado may lose strength because he took a four-day rest after throwing 105 pitches on Tuesday.

Lotte is followed by Davison, Kim Jin-wook and Na Kyun-an. Except for Davison, it is hard to say that Lotte has the upper hand. In addition, away players who do not use Lions Park, where there are many home runs, are under tremendous pressure. It can have a big impact on the game.

Indeed, what kind of three consecutive games will Lotte produce against difficult opponent Samsung. It seems certain that it is a three-game series that should be held 'at the risk of his life' with the same heart as the Korean Series.
