basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 179

Seeing the Wolves replace the main force, Brad was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

This bastard dared to play me.

Seeing Lan Feng and the others enter the field aggressively, the arena was boiling again, because they knew that the real massacre was about to begin.

As expected, Lan Feng and the others did not disappoint. After the game restarted, they did everything they could. All kinds of small moves and trash talk frequently made the Grizzlies almost collapse.

Under such circumstances, they had no power to fight back at all, and finally tied the score quickly, but they were manipulated by them, and they were pulled back to double digits in just a few minutes.

Brad had to let the main force play again.

But the momentum of the Wolves has been fully displayed, and the main players of the Grizzlies have consumed a lot of physical energy in the previous hand-to-hand combat. After playing again, they are still vulnerable.

The fourth quarter of the game has completely become garbage time.

Right after the game ended, Xia Kexin called Xia Hongfei and told him the result of the game.

Xia Hongfei couldn't laugh or cry, because he knew that the lottery pick for the next season was gone.

Back at the villa, Lu Ziqiu chatted with Li Minghui and Diana for a while, then hid in the house and talked to Lin Qian, who told him that he would be back on the plane tomorrow.

"Have you finished taking care of the family affairs?" Lu Ziqiu missed her indescribably. He was used to the food she cooked, but now his mouth was stuck, and Diana couldn't get used to it.

"It's all done."

"Okay, I'll ask Diana to pick you up tomorrow."

"Ah."

The two chatted for a few more words, and suddenly Diana called him downstairs, saying that Xia Kexin had something to come to him.

Lu Ziqiu had no choice but to tell Lin Qian to go to bed early.

After hanging up the phone and going downstairs, seeing Xia Kexin's solemn expression, he couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with you?"

Xia Kexin glanced at Li Minghui and Diana, but hesitated to speak.

Lu Ziqiu saw it, and knew that it was inconvenient for her to say something in front of Diana and the others, so he said, "We haven't gone out for a walk for a long time, why don't we go for a walk together?"

Xia Kexin readily accepted.

Lu Ziqiu then told Diana and Li Minghui to go out with her.

All the way out of the villa area, Xia Kexin still didn't speak, but Lu Ziqiu really couldn't accompany her like this all the time, he couldn't bear it.

"Ke Xin, what's the matter with you tonight?"

"Are you having a conflict with my dad?" Until then, Xia Kexin looked at him bitterly.

"Nothing." Lu Ziqiu casually denied it.

"You don't have to deny it, I know it all."

At this point, he can only explain: "We really don't have any conflicts, it's just that we have a little different opinions on the future of the team."

Xia Kexin reconfirmed doubtfully, "Is that true?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can confirm with your father."

Xia Kexin hesitated for a moment, and really called Xia Hongfei to confirm. Xia Hongfei's answer was exactly the same as Lu Ziqiu's, so she finally felt relieved.

Lu Ziqiu pinched her face dumbfounded, "Little girl, don't you even believe Master?"

Xia Kexin blushed slightly, and gave him an annoyed look.

Lu Ziqiu was taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, now it's not the same as before, how can he be so casual?

But Xia Kexin didn't mean to blame him, "You will try to let my dad down a bit in the future, okay?"

Lu Ziqiu did not agree, he couldn't let Xia Hongfei mess around with the team's affairs.

"Can't you even give me face?"

Lu Ziqiu sighed, "I can only promise you that if there is a disagreement in the future, I will try my best to let him go, but when it comes to player transactions and team development, I can't let them do whatever they want. This is the principle. The question above is also for the good of the team, Kexin, can you understand?"

Even if Xia Kexin was unhappy, he would never be able to perfuse her.

Xia Kexin smiled wryly and shook her head, "I know this will make it difficult for you, but he will always be my dad."

"If you follow your father and the board of directors' approach, the team will not win the championship. You have to be clear, this is Yancheng, not a big football market. The stars value not only the results, but also the market. To put it bluntly, the league is A business, whether it is a team or a player, puts profit first, and you have been in contact with the league for a relatively short period of time, so it is understandable that you can’t see clearly, but I have been in the league for more than ten years.”

The evening wind came.

The cool wind can't help but relax the mind.

Xia Kexin let out a long breath, "I understand, I will try my best to persuade my dad."

Lu Ziqiu smiled and nodded, "Shall we go back?"

"Okay." Xia Kexin smiled sweetly, reached out to support his arm and walked back, "Do you still have to go to the hospital for an examination tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, "Just take a good rest. I was away a while ago, and you and Lu Wei are probably exhausted, right?"

Xia Kexin smiled wryly and shook her head, "During your absence, I really realized how difficult it is to manage such a team."

During the time when Lu Ziqiu was hospitalized, Lan Feng and the others kept asking questions, but it really made their coaching staff think hard.

"This is the time to quit? Then don't you want to be the general manager of the team in the future?"

"As long as you're here, isn't it all right?"

"I can't stay here forever. I'm not afraid of your jokes. In fact, I'm already tired of this kind of life."

Xia Kexin's heart trembled, "Do you have to go?"

Lu Ziqiu nodded silently.

Xia Kexin didn't know what to say for a while, so the two walked back in silence.

When sending Lu Ziqiu back to the gate of the villa, Xia Kexin asked: "Are you sure you can win the match against Hurricane?"

Lu Ziqiu smiled and said: "If you lose to anyone, you can't lose to Hurricane."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I've already gotten used to it, so you don't have to worry." Without waiting for her to speak again, she said, "Go back, it's getting late."

Xia Kexin bit her lip, nodded and left.

Lu Ziqiu waited until her figure disappeared into the night before turning back to the house.

Diana had made supper and had been waiting for him to come back.

The three went to the dining table, and Diana asked, "What can Kexin want from you?"

"She thought I was having conflicts with her father, so she came to understand the situation with me."

"Just because of this little thing?" Diana was dissatisfied, and muttered again, "It's so mysterious, I thought it was a big deal."

"It's not a big deal for you and me, but it's different for Ke Xin. It's hard for her to be a human being in the middle."

"That's true." Diana thought about it, and felt that it was true. If it was her, it might be more painful, "How about I ask Yu Qin to go out with her sometime, is that okay?"

"Little girl, do you want to give yourself a vacation?"

"Are you okay?" Diana was not embarrassed at all when she saw through her mind, instead she hugged his arm and acted like a baby.

"It's really blind." Li Minghui muttered, shaking his head vigorously.

Fortunately, Diana was so focused on acting like a baby that she didn't notice him.

Lu Ziqiu couldn't bear her acting like a baby, so he could only agree, and he also felt that Xia Kexin should really go out to relax.
