[스포츠마당] Memory of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
In 2007, a depression caused a finger injury and became an eyebrow in Japan.
Kim Kyung-moon’s Love Colo team embarked on Japan’s semi-final reversal home run and broke Cuba in succession, earning the first gold medal
In 2007, Lee Seung-yeop’s left thumb was worse. Even a slight deviation from the bat’s sweet spot caused intense pain. However, it was impossible to express color. It was the first year of a contract with Yomiuri Giants, the most prestigious in Japan. Lee Seung-yeop wore a giant uniform with a grand contract of approximately 30 billion won for a total of four years. In such a situation, I couldn’t lie down. There was pride in Korean baseball.
Lee Seung-yeop removed the pus from his finger and shook it. Then, at the end of the season, he got on the operating table and put a knife to his finger. I wanted to avoid surgery because the fine feeling in my hand would go away, but there was no other way. And the 2008 season began. However, because the rehab was not completed, the batting average plummeted to 100%. The ‘national batter’ went to and from the 2nd Army during the first half of the year, chasing pride and falling into the habit of eating rice balls. The sound of murmuring came from everywhere.
However, in Korea, director Kim Kyung-moon called. It was a request to tackle the fourth batter for the Beijing Olympics baseball team. Thanks, Lee Seung-yeop, but I wanted to decline. Body condition was still the worst. The fingers did not bend easily. Of course, the right swing didn’t come out. However, it was difficult to ignore Kim’s call.
Obviously, the team’s performance as a central hitter was poor. It was an early batting average with 23 hits and 3 hits to the semifinals. Lee Seung-yeop, who was unable to escape depression, was forced to meet public opinion with Han Ki-joo, the final pitcher who was hit by a long game.
The biggest challenge for the 2008 Beijing Olympics was the semifinals. The opponent was Korea’s biggest opponent, Japan. In Korea, however, criticism increased when Lee Seung-yeop continued to be used in the Japanese war. Here, the Japanese red flag also helped. Senichi Hoshino, the coach of the Japanese national team, said: “Who is Lee Seung-yeop? “It’s more surprising that a hitter who can’t hit properly continues to be used in fourth place.” He knew enough of Lee Seung-yeop’s existence, but it was a nervous warfare that touched the opponent’s plantation.
However, Ttuksim director Kim Kyung-moon said, “You only need to hit him once when you need to. “Isn’t he a representative of Korea?” Even if he begged for Lee Seung-yeop to take it out himself, Director Kim would not accept it. The fourth batting baseman was repaired. Then I reached the last front door at the end. Was Lee Seung-yeop proud of himself? Unfortunately, he recorded strikeouts, illnesses and strikeouts up to seven times. Abusive language and boos erupted from the stands. I heard it in the ears of director Kim Kyung-moon and Lee Seung-yeop.
And Lee Seung-yeop’s fourth turn. It was an important situation in the 1st and 1st bases 8 times against 2v2. Hoshino founded left-handed Ace Iwase Hituki. He was a left-handed hitter. Director Kim Kyung-moon was able to pull out the right-handed hitter card with one big hit. Seung-yeop Lee of the Waiting Circle (a place where the batter waits) has looked around the Doug-out (player’s waiting seat) many times. Waiting for a replacement signal. He wasn’t even sure about hitting the plate. However, ‘the director of the moon’ did not take a look at the weighting circle.
Lee Seung-yeop, standing on the plate as he was dragged, scored a foul in the second on the first shot. The count went to 0-2. The pitcher’s overwhelming victory came before him. At the time of the hype, Lee Seung-yeop chose the option. Although his physical condition is the worst, it is not the Norimsoo norm. The opponent’s attack was expected to target a hitter with poor finger condition. Then Lee Seung-yeop decided to throw the body away. Even if he touched the ball on the body, it was difficult to send the ball away. I decided to face Kurt.
As expected, the Japanese battery digs into the body. The ball was judged and turned into 1-2 counts. And the fastball that came in again. However, the ball was slightly centered and Lee Seung-yeop did not miss it. I just wrapped my body and put my power on the bat. The batted ball stretched out into the garden like a clothesline hanging. The right fielder running and chasing the ball. However, he stopped in front of the fence. It was a two-run homer. Lee Seung-yeop raised his arms and turned the base over. Moon also held his fist in the dougout. It was Lee Seung-yeop’s miraculous home run.
After the game, the interviewers met at Lee Seung-yeop. In front of Mike, he couldn’t speak for a while. The home runs exploded and the tears burst. He cried and said, “I am sorry for my juniors.” My heart pain, which had been difficult, has shed tears.
The national team, which beat Japan in the semifinals, rocked Cuba in the final. So I put my first gold medal in Olympic baseball. If Lee’s decisive hit exploded on the batter, the mound’s one-way hit was a huge success. Kim Kwang-hyun, who started in the semifinals against Japan, pitched brilliantly with 2 runs (1 book) in 6 innings and 6 hits. It was the appearance of a Japanese assassin. In the final, Ryu Hyun-jin climbed onto the mound. He led the national team to the top of the stage by revealing the monster’s true worth with two runs and three runs in 8.1 innings.
After the Olympic gold medal, Korean baseball opened a new renaissance. Baseball fever broke out and KBO League viewers and audience rose vertically.
The national team expects a medal in Olympic baseball, which will return in 13 years. The Tokyo Olympics, postponed as a “new coronavirus infection (corona19)”, are expected to sound fanfare in the summer of 2021. We look forward to the drama again. Lee Seung-yeop, who was a “legitimate military service runner” at many international games and at the Olympics, will now support his juniors with a bat instead of a microphone.
