NC Dinos coach Lee Ho-joon couldn't laugh even with the precious victory. This is because of the injuries of the main catcher Kim Hyung-joon and veteran Park Gun-woo.
NC won 4-1 in the first game of the wild card match against the Samsung Lions at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 6th. After overcoming the disadvantage of the fifth-place team, he won one game and now has a chance to play the last game in the second game. With the last nine consecutive wins of the regular season, 10 consecutive wins are exciting.
Starting pitcher Koo Chang-mo pitched six innings perfectly with one run. Davison scored a valuable RBI in the first and second innings, and Kim Hyung-joon hit a decisive two-run shot in the fifth inning. However, Kim Hyung-joon was replaced due to wrist pain after hitting a home run. Park Gun-woo, who had been fighting despite his hamstring injury at the end of the regular season, also caught his thigh again while sprinting.
The following is the question and answer after the game with coach Lee.

▶There's no difference. The players took care of the first winning ball.(Laughs) We still have a good atmosphere, so I think we were able to win 10 consecutive games. The players continue to cheer up. First of all, I'm only thinking about tomorrow's game.
-The injured came out.
▶It bothers me a lot. In particular, it seems that Kim Hyung-joon will not play until tomorrow morning. I went to the hospital. Because of the holiday, hospitals are closed, making the examination itself difficult. It is said that he had pain before hitting a home run. I've had problems with my injured area again when I've been out for a long time before. Even then, I couldn't hit the bat. In that situation, it seems to be a similar situation to say that you can't.
-There was only Kim Jung-ho in the catcher's entry.
▶Of course, three players have to go in the short term, but Park Se-hyuk and Ahn Jung-yeol are injured. Kim Jung-ho was the only catcher who could register. If Kim Hyung-joon cannot play tomorrow and Kim Jung-ho has a problem, Kwon Hee-dong or Kim Hwi-jip will also have to prepare. However, if we win the second game, Park Se-hyuk can come back accordingly.

▶Park Gun-woo has remained that way. I ran and came back up. He said he wouldn't go to the hospital, so I don't know exactly what the condition is. I think that would be a little hurt.
-Koo Chang-mo pitched the best.
▶It was literally the best pitching ever. He knows how to run it. You can control it well and throw breaking balls according to the situation. Koo Chang-mo is Koo Chang-mo. If you speed up when you are in good condition, it becomes a scarier pitch. He seemed to know how to solve the game in a rainy situation. Today's game was delayed and it was hard to warm up. He also released fewer pitches.
-I won without Logan.
▶So the best-case scenario has been completed. I think the key to victory is how much Logan draws the inning tomorrow. The middle pitchers are exhausted. I hope it goes for a long time.
