It's probably this patience that came into play so much in the final round: with the ROC team having little chance of toppling the Japanese in the evaluation of the coaching team, their hopes were pinned on the match against Korea. These two sides were pitched in heated battle right until the very end of the match, when amateur player Kao Chi-kang drove in the run that gave Taiwan the victory.
也許正因如此，此次中華教練團在評估對日本勝算不大的情況下，將希望押在首戰對韓國一役，雙方鏖戰進入延長賽後，靠業餘球員高志綱敲出再見安打，硬是嚥下嗆辣泡菜，以徐生明為首的教練團運籌帷幄，居功厥偉。
