Chapter 172 He is not as good as Xiaozhi
Time flies, and the suspension expires in a blink of an eye.

During the period of suspension, the team achieved a record of 12 wins and 18 losses. In addition to the previous 7 wins and 9 losses, it is currently ranked 19th in the Eastern Conference with 27 wins and 8 losses, which is five games away from No. [-].

There are still 36 games left. If you want to enter the playoffs, the safest thing is to guarantee a 15% winning rate. That is to say, Lu Ziqiu only has [-] games to lose.

During this period, he had contacted Wesson many times while Lin Xi and Diana were away, asking him if the police had any results of the investigation.

It's a pity that things backfired. That "Sister Xia" seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was nowhere to find her.

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the window, Lu Ziqiu got up, leaned on his crutches, went to the bathroom to wash himself up, and went down the stairs.

His knee did not recover as smoothly as expected, and he could only rely on crutches for support. The doctor said it would take at least a month before he could walk normally.

Today I made an appointment with Luo Peng to discuss the renewal of the contract, so Diana woke up quite early.

However, Lin Qian had something to go back to Los Angeles, and recently she began to dangle around the room in thin pajamas again.

Lu Ziqiu had nothing to do with her, "It's so cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold if you dress like this?"

Diana helped him to sit on the sofa, curled her lips and said, "It's not like there's no heating at home."

Lu Ziqiu shook his head with a wry smile.

Diana said again: "Sit down first, I'll make breakfast."

Not long after returning to the office, Xia Hongfei hurried over.

"Ziqiu, the mid-term transaction is about to start, do you have someone to trade with?" After entering, he shouted before sitting down.

Lu Ziqiu felt a little strange seeing his happy expression, but he still invited him to sit on the sofa first, and then asked Diana to make tea, "I don't have any here for now, do you have any good ideas?"

"That's right." Xia Hongfei smiled and patted his thigh.

"Who?"

"David, David of the Grizzlies."

David, a second-year prospect, has a very good talent, but he has been unable to play in the Grizzlies, so the Grizzlies want to use him as a bargaining chip and change to an immediate player to improve the team's strength.

Lu Ziqiu knew this a long time ago, and the Grizzly Bear had also contacted him, but the other party wanted to change Luo Peng, and it was impossible for Lu Ziqiu to agree, but he did not expect that the other party found Xia Hongfei, and it seemed that he had persuaded Xia Hongfei.

Diana glanced at Xia Hongfei secretly, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Lu Ziqiu's delay in making a statement, Xia Hongfei couldn't help feeling a little anxious, "David is a very talented young player. The reason why he can't play in the Grizzlies is entirely because the Grizzlies' tactics are not suitable for him, but if he comes Our team, under your leadership, I think he will grow up soon."

Lu Ziqiu nodded slightly, "He is indeed a talented player, but he is not a player with strong willpower, so he is not suitable for our team."

Xia Hongfei was taken aback, "But his talent is really good. Willpower can be cultivated, but talent is innate, and with his running and jumping ability, if it is used for fast break, it must be a very good weapon." A sharp knife."

Now that things are up to now, if Xia Hongfei refuses immediately, I am afraid Xia Hongfei will be unhappy, so he said: "Since you have said so, I will contact the Grizzlies later. If they don't want a few of our main players, I don't care Mind making a deal with them."

"Actually, apart from Lu Wei, I think our other players can be traded and won't lose money." If Lu Wei was not his future son-in-law, he even wanted to exchange Lu Wei. David represents the future, and Lu Wei After all, Wei is old, and it has been worse than a year.

Lu Ziqiu frowned, "I will try my best to talk to them."

Xia Hongfei could not help being a little annoyed when he heard that he was trying to explain himself, "Ziqiu, you have to think clearly, David represents the future."

I didn't want to have any unpleasantness with him, but seeing him like this, it seemed like he was not giving up until he reached his goal.

Lu Ziqiu hesitated for a while and said: "Maybe you think he is very useful, but in my eyes, he is not even as good as Xiaozhi."

"Are you talking nonsense? Besides being able to defend, what else can Xiaozhi do?"

"Tomorrow night is our game against the Grizzlies. If the chairman doesn't believe it, you will know after the game tomorrow night."

Diana came over to Xia Hongfei with a teacup and offered him tea, but Xia Hongfei didn't take it.

He glanced at Lu Ziqiu one last time, snorted unhappily, got up and left.

"What's the big deal?" Diana muttered dissatisfiedly, and gulped down the tea in her cup in a sulky gulp.

Lu Ziqiu sighed, "Call Yu Qin to bring up the agreement."

Diana put down her teacup, walked back to her desk and called Yu Qin, and after hanging up the phone, she still couldn't get over her tone, "In my opinion, you should have rejected him just now, why would you need to talk so much nonsense to him?" ?”

Lu Ziqiu smiled wryly and shook his head, "Isn't Minghui coming over today? You should hurry up and get ready to pick him up."

"It's still early." Diana muttered and stopped talking.

After a while, Yu Qin came up with the bound contract, Lu Ziqiu took it and asked Yu Qin to sit down for a while.

When Yu Qin came over, Diana finally found someone she could talk to, so she hurried over to accompany her, and the two of them sat on the sofa arm in arm and muttered endlessly, and they didn't know what they were muttering about.

Lu Ziqiu just glanced at them and started to look at the contract. The main points were the same as what he and Luo Peng talked about.

What Luo Peng wants to sign is a one-plus-one contract, and the second year is a player option. After the expiration, he has the right to choose to continue to perform or jump out of the contract.

At the end of next season, in addition to Lin Sen's last year's contract with a player option, the contracts of Lan Feng and Han Bin will also expire. Luo Peng signed this contract completely in a wait-and-see attitude. Once the others decide to leave, He will definitely go too.

Half an hour later, Luo Peng arrived.

Lu Ziqiu gave him the contract, and he just glanced at the time limit and salary before signing, without any delay.

Lu Ziqiu couldn't help feeling amused, "Are you so casual?"

Luo Peng handed over the contract to Yu Qin carelessly, "I believe you won't cheat me."

"I'm under a lot of pressure when you say that." Fortunately, I read it beforehand, otherwise I wouldn't feel at ease letting him sign so easily.

Luo Peng laughed and got up with a smile, "Okay, if there is nothing else, I have to go back and sleep for a while." After the game last night, they went to the nightclub to play until midnight. If it wasn't for training in the afternoon, he Lu Ziqiu came to sign the contract in the morning.

"Play less, you are not too young, let's talk about a girlfriend seriously."

"What are you talking about?" Luo Peng replied impatiently, got up and waved to Diana and Yu Qin, then turned and left gracefully.

Lu Ziqiu shook his head dumbfounded.

Diana pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Don't you know him yet? It's better to kill him than let him have a serious relationship."

Yu Qin also covered her mouth and snickered.

Lu Ziqiu shook his head and said no more.
