[Reporter Lin Youchen / Kaohsiung Report] CITIC Brothers swept the regular league leader Lotte Peach Ape with 4 wins and 0 losses in the Taiwan Competition, winning the second consecutive championship. In the eyes of Peng Zhengmin, the deputy team leader and farm director, Peng Zhengmin had different ideas.

Peng Zhengmin said that before the start of the game, the whole team had the confidence to win the series, but did not expect a sweep. Among them, he believed that young players such as Huang Weisheng and Chen Wenjie had grown up.

Peng Zhengmin said: "Looking at it from a different angle, it seems that Rakuten is struggling. We can't understand the thoughts and pressure of the coaching team on the field. In the first half of the season, Rakuten had the upper hand on us, and at the beginning of the second half, we also had strong results. With such a result, I believe no one expected it.”

As for the performance of his own players in the playoffs this year, Peng Zhengmin named 2 players.

Peng Zhengmin said, "Although Huang Weisheng only had 1 hit in the Taiwan Tournament, his overall performance is very important to him. Having such an experience is a good thing for his future development." Peng Zhengmin also mentioned Chen Wenjie, "This year, he is very obvious. This is also the fourth season of the First Army, and looking at his stability this year, he already looks like a regular starting player in the First Army.”

As for Yue Zhenghua, the youngest Taiwan competition MVP in history, Peng Zhengmin said with a smile that he personally is not surprised that Yue Zhenghua has such strength, otherwise the team would not have selected him in the first round.
