This year's Nihon series is also interesting. The name Nippon Series is also used in golf, but baseball is king name of Nihon series. There was a time when I was obsessed with it when I was a kid, but in recent years I haven't been so interested. The biggest reason may be that I felt bored with the redundancy of baseball because other sports such as soccer, rugby, basketball, golf, etc., which are fun to watch, have become familiar. Also, when I look at the major leagues, I have the impression that it is quite disappointing in terms of power. Many people must have the same impression.
But the series of Yakult x Orix is so interesting and enjoyable. Why do we feel that way? The first reason is that I feel the fun of the game, not just phisical. Yesterday's game unfolded like Tsume Shogi. It would be rude to say that the director or coach is the move, and the players are the pieces, but I enjoyed it as a brain game. The second reason is that both managers seem be fair. I felt that he respected not only his opponents, but also his players. There is data that the breakthrough of both teams lies in personnel management, such as human resource development, human resource recruitment, and not overdoing it, and that is exactly the case. The fact that we rarely see the players' flirtatious gestures is probably due to this relationship of trust and mutual respect.
If you look into it, both coaches have experienced transfers from star players, and have a variety of experiences such as overseas challenges, dispatches, and second army coaches. No one would denay that it was the basis for a well-balanced leadership.
