basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 178

At the end of the halftime, the score was chased to only 5 points, but the Grizzlies paid the price that the main players did not have to rest. On the other hand, Lu Wei, who is the most threatening, has not played yet.

Out of consideration for Lu Ziqiu's feet, Yang Xiaojing did not interview Lu Ziqiu, but did a simple interview with George, asking about Lu Wei's situation and how sure the team was of winning the game.

In this game, Lu Ziqiu was almost sitting and directing, so the load on his feet was not too great, but even so, he still felt a little tired when he returned to the locker room.

In his situation, the team doctor is not good at giving him a relaxing massage, so he can only hope that the players will be quiet and not disturb him to rest.

Compared with other players who are in a good mood, Lu Wei is frowning.

Xia Kexin just held his hand silently, she knew that Lu Wei could adjust his mentality by himself.

Lu Wei took a deep breath and smiled: "You don't have to worry about me, I know why the coach won't let me play this time, because the next game is really important to the coach, he can't lose no matter what."

Xia Kexin was stunned, it turned out that he was actually worried about the next game, "Does he have conflicts with the Hurricanes?"

"The head coach of the Hurricane, Yuan Jun, was originally the head coach of the Bobcats. For a period of time, the reinforcements were sick and rested, and the coach temporarily took over as his coach. Unexpectedly, under his command, the team played smoothly." I didn't say any more.

But Xia Kexin understood that it must be Lu Ziqiu's performance that caught Yan Bingtian's attention. Later, after the reinforcements returned to the team, the team's performance plummeted again, so Yan Bingtian directly replaced the head coach of the reinforcements with Lu Ziqiu.

Thinking of this, Xia Kexin couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Hasn't Yuan Jun been away from Shanmao for a long time? Could it be that after so many years, he still cares about what happened back then?"

"Yuan Jun belongs to the academic school. He coaches the team and directs the game with discipline. He is not as bold as the coach in employing people. When he was still in the Bobcats, he had many quarrels with the coach over tactics and employment strategies. Naturally, no one accepted the other. "

Xia Kexin pondered for a while, then tentatively said: "In other words, Yuan Jun is actually dissatisfied, not harboring a grudge, right?"

"Yes, in fact, the coach is not convinced."

"Ah?" This was beyond Xia Kexin's expectations. In her opinion, Lu Ziqiu's commanding ability is definitely the top coach in the league. There is even a coach that makes him dissatisfied. So how good is Yuan Jun?
"The Hurricanes have been one of the strongest teams in the league these years. Back then, the Bobcats had wins and losses against them, so both sides were very unconvinced."

"I see." Xia Kexin finally understood, but the Hurricane currently ranks third in the Eastern Conference and reached the Eastern Conference Semifinals last year. If they hadn't met Huaxia, they would have been able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals. Facing such a team, can we win

They have played twice this season, and the teams lost both times, and they lost without the slightest temper.

Of course, Lu Ziqiu was under suspension at that time.

Thinking of this, Xia Kexin also began to worry.

Lu Wei took a deep breath and said, "Didn't you see that the coach played less time for the main players today than before?"

If it wasn't for Lu Wei's reminder, Xia Kexin wouldn't have cared. After he said it, he immediately looked at the statistics of the players' playing time. After halftime, Luo Mang, the main player who played the most, only played for 10 minutes. The others Basically, it is controlled at about [-] minutes.

"Is he preparing for the next game?"

"Yes, the next game may be very miserable."

Xia Kexin felt his hands trembling, and couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, "Are you going to fight hard in the next game?"

Lu Wei blinked, nodded and said, "I can't let him lose."

"You have to be careful, don't get hurt." She knows Lu Wei's character very well, and Xia Kexin knows that it is useless to persuade him, "But don't forget, we are a whole, and he won't say anything about it." , but we can secretly tell the players."

Lu Wei turned his head to look at Lu Ziqiu who was resting with his eyes closed, nodded and did not speak.

Before the start of the second half, Lu Ziqiu withdrew all the main players and adjusted the lineup to Gao Jun, Morientes, Xiaozhi, Hayes and Hyde, with two centers and two point guards. This lineup is still in use. Full-court pressing tactics.

He has only one requirement for the players. After going up, he can not score, but he must not let the opponent score easily.

Seeing this lineup, the two commentators in the commentary booth were shocked and speechless for a long time.

After a while, Caesar was the first to come back to his senses, but he shouted in an unbelievable tone as soon as he opened his mouth: "Coach Lu, what are you doing? How do you play with this lineup?"

Luo Chen also exclaimed, "With such a lineup, they still use the whole court to press? My God."

But this is definitely one of the best lineups that the Wolves use to fight hand-to-hand and desperately!

Gao Jun and Morientes are both heavy and tall. Although their defensive steps are slow, they are definitely better than Lan Feng and Luo Mang when they are used to defend against the opponent's slow-moving twin towers. Moreover, their scoring methods are better than Lan Feng's And Luo Mang are much better.

Xiaozhi needless to say, Desperate Saburo, at any time, as long as he plays, it will be a disaster for the opponent, he can definitely force the game into four on four.

Hayes is short but strong, and Lee, who is used to defend the opponent, is not afraid of being smashed into a sieve.

Hyde's absolute speed is second only to Lin Sen in the team, but his short-distance acceleration is the fastest player on the team. He has no outstanding advantages, but neither has any outstanding shortcomings. No, but counterattack is definitely the strongest sharp knife among role players.

Lu Ziqiu used this lineup to let them fight hand-to-hand.

The next 4 minutes was definitely the ugliest game played by Lu Ziqiu since coaching. The field was full of people on their backs, and the whistle almost became the only protagonist.

The rhythm of both sides was torn to shreds, and except for free throws, they were basically hitting iron.

In nearly 4 minutes, the Wolves only scored 4 points, and the Grizzlies were not much better, they only scored 8 points.

Seeing the main players keep falling to the ground, Brad was so distressed that he hurriedly called a timeout.

In this way, the Wolves can still lead by one point.

Lu Ziqiu got up and gave them high-fives one by one, "Good job."

The substitutes got his praise and laughed a little embarrassedly.

"Go to the side and have a good rest first, you will be needed later."

The five nodded heavily, dragged their sore muscles to the bench, covered their heads with towels and stopped getting up.

They worked so hard just now, they didn't feel anything during the game, but after the game, their whole body was in pain.

Lu Ziqiu beckoned to Lan Feng, Lu Qian, Han Bin, Luo Peng, and Lin Sen, "The five of you are going to play next, and I allow you to use all means to beat them down, except that malicious fouls are not allowed. .”

The five of them laughed and looked towards the grizzly bear, their eyes flickering coldly.

They love the feeling of bullying so much.
