[Reporter Gong Naixuan/Taipei Report] Unified Lions defensive coach Tamaki Tomotaka went to Tainan Stadium for the first time to participate in training today. The interpreter has been confirmed to be served by former Japanese pitcher Guo Hengxiao, which will serve as a communication bridge to strengthen the defense this season.

Guo Hengxiao was born in the first university in Fukuoka, Fukuoka University of Economics, and also played for the Niigata Swan Kings of the Japanese Independence League. He has rich experience in Japan.

After returning to Taiwan, he played in the first team of the Lions for 6 seasons. Since 2021, he has been a full-time feeder and left-hander.

Su Taian, leader of the Uni-President Lions team, pointed out that Guo Hengxiao will focus on translation this year, and the follow-up will depend on the deployment of manpower. However, at present, there is enough manpower to feed the ball, and Gao Renxiao is also capable of left-handed shooting.

The Lions rescued the last season's team's defensive rate and hired Tomotaka Tamaki as the defensive coach. He has taught in Hiroshima for 12 seasons, and he was also the first army's defensive running coach during the Central League's 3 consecutive hegemony. Although Tamaki was not an eye-catching hitter when he was a player, he practiced hard with a coach after retiring. He is known as the best coach in Japanese basketball who can play ノック (Knock, defensive practice).
