basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 100
The Eagles attacked again, and Lin Sen behaved this time, sticking close to Luo Peng, preventing him from taking the ball easily.

By the time he finally got the ball, time was running out.

Seeing that he was about to pull up the jumper, Lin Sen made a sudden strike, which was hard enough.

The referee's whistle sounded and Lin Sen was called for a defensive foul.

Luo Peng clutched his sore wrist, "Garbage, does it only foul?"

"You idiot, do you only know how to shoot?" Lin Sen took a step forward and stared at him closely.

Looking at each other, the flames began to burn.

The referee quickly stepped forward to pull them away and gave them a verbal warning at the same time.

Lin Sen laughed and left, Luo Peng snorted, walked to the free throw line, and hit two free throws steadily amidst deafening boos from the audience.

After the free throw, Luo Peng glanced at Lin Sen and Han Bin provocatively, and slowly ran back to his own half.

"Can you handle him?" Lin Sen asked in a low voice.

Han Bin nodded, "Don't worry, he can never be our opponent."

The ball passed back and forth in the hands of the Wolves players, and finally fell into the hands of Han Bin.

Facing Luo Peng again, Han Bin stopped talking nonsense this time, and directly chose to speed up his breakthrough and go straight to the opponent's inside line.

"Don't even think about it." The eagle center took a step across to block the line.

Han Bin turned a blind eye, roared aggressively, and took three steps directly.

Luo Peng chased from behind, followed by jumping to block the shot.

There is a blockade in the front, and there are chasing troops in the back.

With Han Bin's previous style, he would choose to hit the basket even if he tried his best.

But today is different because he passed it on.

"Strike." Lan Feng caught the ball, his eyes were blank, he roared angrily, jumped up and dunked with both hands.

Han Bin landed on the ground and looked at Luo Peng, "If you have the ability, do one, and then give me an assist like me."

Luo Peng ignored him and ran forward without changing his face.

"This kid has a really good mentality." Lan Feng came over and praised in a low voice.

"Indeed, but it doesn't matter how good his mentality is. I think his physical fitness has begun to decline." Han Bin rarely showed disdain.

In the next game, the Eagles always used Luo Peng as the starting point of offense. The two teams had offense and defense against each other, and neither could defend the other.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Lu Ziqiu called a timeout again, rearranged a new defensive tactic, and chose to pinch Luo Peng again.

At the same time, troops were dispatched. Lu Wei played and continued to play the fourth position. Hayes also played at the same time. He had a good three-pointer and could help Lu Wei open up space.

Except for Luo Mang who was sent off, all the other main players of the Wolves came on the field.

Lu Ziqiu glanced at the few of them, "The rest is up to you, and we must defeat them in this section."

Seeing that Luo Peng was out of breath, the head coach of the Eagles felt a headache and said, "Come down and have a rest." He really has no good way, the team has too many injuries, and Luo Peng is the only one who can really use it now .

Luo Peng gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Let me call again, I can do it."

"It doesn't matter if we lose this game. Our players will gradually recover from injuries and return to the team from next week. With you, we are still very sure of reaching the playoffs."

"The game can be lost, but I absolutely can't lose." Although he didn't show much on the court, he was already angry.

"Okay, I'll give you another 3 minutes. After these 3 minutes, no matter what the score is, you must end the game for me."

Luo Peng grinned, "Of course, I don't want to die of exhaustion on the court."

With Lu Wei, the Wolves' ball moves smoothly and freely, the offense is quick and quick, and it is blossoming inside and outside.

On the other hand, due to the decline in physical fitness, Luo Peng was double-teamed by the Wolves and failed repeatedly.

In desperation, the Eagles could only replace him.

As soon as he left the field, the Eagles' attack hardly had any strong points for attacking with the ball.

On the other hand, the Wolves played with momentum, and the offense became smoother and smoother.

In the commentary seat, the two commentators were in a good mood, and they couldn't help but praised Lu Wei again.

Luo Chen: "Lu Wei is really important."

Caesar: "The score has been stretched to 16 points. I think Coach Lu will replace Lu Wei soon."

Luo Chen: "That's true. He has just returned from injury. Coach Lu won't play him for too long."

Caesar: "It would be great if we could have two more players like Lu Wei."

The two pushed a lot, and almost all the credit went to Lu Wei, and occasionally praised other players, but Lu Ziqiu did not get their approval.

But Lu Ziqiu's employment was impossible to be guessed by them. He made Lu Wei play all the time for the rest of the quarter.

At the end of the first half, the Wolves exited with a 20-point advantage.

The two commentators began to push from the last few minutes, questioning why Lu Ziqiu did not replace Lu Wei for so long.

Yang Xiaojing approached Lu Ziqiu again for an interview, "Coach Lu, you let Lu Wei play for nearly 15 minutes in the first half. He has just returned from injury. Is it possible that such a long playing time will cause his old injury to recur?"

It wasn't that she made things difficult on purpose. The reason why she asked Lu Ziqiu to answer it now was precisely because she considered that the media would question her after the game.

Lu Ziqiu gave her a grateful look, "Before the start of the game, the coaching staff and the team doctor have repeatedly confirmed that Lu Wei can play more time without any hidden dangers."

"Now that our team leads by so many points, will you still send Lu Wei on the field in the second half?"

"The Eagles are a respectable opponent. Their players are very tenacious, so everything is hard to say before the end of the game."

"Thank you for your answer." Yang Xiaojing smiled slightly, and asked again: "By the way, do you have any thoughts on the issue of Luo Mang being sent off?"

"no idea."

"Aren't you going to appeal after the game?"

"Anything can happen in the arena, and our players have to learn to adapt."

Yang Xiaojing asked a few more symbolic questions before letting Lu Ziqiu go back to the locker room.

After the start of the second half, Lu Ziqiu removed all the main players and gave the substitutes and rookies plenty of playing time.

The situation on the court suddenly changed.

Under the leadership of Luo Peng, the Eagles combined internal and external forces, making the Wolves' rotation players helpless.

In less than half a quarter, the score caught up to only 10 points left.

As a last resort, Lu Ziqiu could only call a timeout again, and re-arranged new tactics for them.

Then he glanced sharply at all the rotation players, "I won't let the main players play for another minute in the next game. If you can't even defend the Eagles with a battalion of wounded soldiers, then your career can end here gone."

The players lowered their heads in shame. It wasn't that they didn't have to play at all, but that they didn't have the main players to lead them. They were panicked and didn't know how to deal with the ball.

Seeing them bow their heads, Lu Ziqiu became even more angry, "Do you still want to play in the professional league? If you don't want to play, tell me now."

"Think." The players shuddered and responded hastily.

"If you think about it, it proves that you are not completely hopeless."

The players took a deep breath and did not dare to speak.

"I'll give you one last chance. If you don't work hard after going up, just pack up your bags and get out."
