Today's game against Taiwan isn't that important, right?

Since there's a high possibility we'll meet Taiwan again in the finals anyway,
even in the last Asian Games, we lost in the preliminary round but ended up winning the actual important final.
It seems like Taiwan didn't even bring out their ace pitcher because they were saving them for the finals from the start.
But the problem is that Taiwan's batting is fundamentally an issue, so even if we meet them again in the finals, we'll probably win easily.
