Softbank Player President Akira Nakamura (31) led the trailer for the climax series (CS) for the fourth year in a row.

Although he was the first up front with 3 points, he fired 2 runs to lift the fast break in the 2nd inning, and in the 4th inning he won the best player award by shooting 2 runs in the opposite direction, which are the first 2 turns at consecutive beats from a professional. The team broke the Japanese record of 12 consecutive victories in the postseason. Starting on the 21st, he will be Japan’s best for 4 years in a row, challenging the Japanese series with the following giants last year.

In response, I accidentally raised my left hand. After watching the ball that led the team to victory bounce off the right wing seat, Akira Nakamura raised his right hand to the bench and slowly circled the diamond. Reversion run 2 that jumped with 1 kill and 2nd base in the 4th inning to chase 1 point also led to the reward of being his first CS MVP.

Akira Nakamura I think he wanted to win. They were all two victories. Glad I never took MVP.

It was this trustworthy man who shook off the bad mood of being overtaken by three points the first time. 2 runs, which is now CS’s first arc with 1st base in the 2nd inning. When he approached a point difference and raised the spirits of the counter, he turned the game around with the first barrage of two-seat pros. In CS, he showed the strength of the game in the short-term decisive battle with the eighth goal for 5 consecutive 16-year years, leading the team to break the record for 12 consecutive postseason victories.

While No. 1 Shuto’s stealing base stood out, as a No. 2 hitter, he didn’t hit with a fairly quick count. “When Zhoudong’s record was issued, I gave it priority.” On this day, Lotte’s starting lineup was Chen Wayne on the left arm, so he was designated No. 7. As the saying goes, “Basically, I want to go from the first ball more and more,” the first ball was the first ball and the second ball was 2-0, both of which made a full swing of the first strike.

It was the first year of the turbulent president player. The opening was delayed due to the influence of the new corona virus. Due to his own knee injury, he was promoted to the 1st Army on July 11. However, after that, he sometimes served as No. 4 and contributed to the victory. In addition, he proposed to wear the uniform of Takashi Kawamura, who died in September, in charge of conditioning (55 years) on the bench, and played a role in the organization of the team even off the court. “It gave me confidence that everyone worked so hard and I’m glad I became the player’s president,” he said.

I achieved the final goal, the stage aiming for the best in Japan for 4 consecutive years. Challenge the giant opponent to the feat that only the giant has experienced. “The giant will return. We also want to have a strong sense of being a challenger.” The number 7 that moves for the team keeps swinging the bat for the team until the final stage.[Yukio Urata]
