Lin Ziwei said that the situation is better than the previous game, and the pitching stability is also better.

Lin Ziwei said: "I have always wanted to play a starting role. I made preparations last year. I hope to be more stable in the on-field game."

Regarding whether he can win a starting rotation position at the beginning of the season, Lin Ziwei said frankly that he would not think too much about it. He hopes that the goal will be adjusted according to his daily situation, and he will try not to make mistakes in the previous game in each game.

Regarding the two wild shots today, Lin Ziwei admitted frankly that his main weapon, the slider, would occasionally cause missed shots, and the tacit understanding with the catcher still has room for improvement, but overall it can be controlled.

Lions head coach Lin Yueping said after the game: "Lin Ziwei is definitely a starting candidate for us to consider, and the coaching staff will make a comprehensive consideration before the start of the season."
