"Look at the reality, how the team works."

The game between the Kiwoom Heroes and the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 4th.

Kiwoom broke its 10-game losing streak with a 1-0 win over the Doosan Bears in Gocheok on May 31. After that, he won 1-0 the next day to win two consecutive games, but he lost 0-8 in the match on the 3rd, the first day of the away game in Busan, adding another lethargic loss.




The game against Lotte on the 4th when Kim Yoon-ha started. After the first two runs, he came from behind with a difficult three points in the top of the fourth inning, but allowed a tie again in the bottom of the fifth inning. There was a difficult game going on. If he loses again on this day, he will lose again for two consecutive games. There was an ominous foreboding that it could be rewound to the chain of losing consecutive games that had been cut with difficulty.

At that time, Kiwoom's oldest player and playing coach Lee Yong-kyu called up the fielders from the dugout after the end of the fifth inning. From captain Song Sung-moon to the youngest high school graduates. Veteran veterans such as Choi Joo-hwan, Oh Sun-jin, and Kim Dong-yeop also gathered in front of 'Yong Kyu-hyung' without exception.

The meeting was briefly released through Kiwoom's own SNS video. Lee Yong-kyu was determined and bitter at Kiwoom's fielders. "How many consecutive losses are you losing to Lotte right now. "Look at the team, what the reality is, how the team is doing," said Lee Yong-kyu, who strongly said, "Are you good at hitting? Then (or) get hit and get out."




A team that has been at the bottom since the beginning of the season. Days of lethargic defeats, players with a lack of confidence. It was a cold-headed point that there was no effort to live somehow at the plate and change the small things. The players were silently listening to Lee Yong-gyu's playing coach's advice with a serious look on their face.

Lee Yong-kyu, who is spending the second half of his career at Kiwoom, sometimes plays the role of a mental coach who acts as a leader with a scary senior and a big brother who gives advice. Even if it's not often, if the time has come when the squad needs to be bitter, I talk about the reality without hesitation.

In fact, Kiwoom, which came from behind with three points again in the top of the sixth inning after the meeting was called, won 9-6 on the day and won four consecutive games starting on the day. And until the 10th, he has won five games, one draw, and two losses in June, ranking first overall in the winning rate of 0.714.




Of course, he is still in last place in the team rankings, but he is not the lethargic figure he showed until last month. Kiwoom's unique scary background has been recovered, including a 'Winning Series' against the No. 1 LG Twins.

The cool-headed bitter sound of a senior who awakened the venom of junior players who lacked confidence. He was able to awaken the awareness of his juniors because he had never stepped down helplessly in every at-bat.
