basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 192
Lu Ziqiu didn't stay long in Kaicheng, and rushed back to Yancheng the next day.

Not long after returning home, Xia Kexin came to him and told him about the situation of Han Bin and Luo Peng. It turned out that they refused to play in the All-Star Game and had a quarrel with East All-Star coach West.

Thinking back to the group fight with Huaxia, they still feel uncomfortable, so how could they play for West?

Lu Ziqiu smiled wryly after hearing this, "It's no wonder they, they didn't want to go in the first place."

Xia Kexin bit her lip and said no more.

"Did your father call you?" Xia Kexin wouldn't make a special trip to talk about it.

Xia Kexin shook her head without explaining, "I'm just complaining."

If she didn't say anything, Lu Ziqiu didn't ask either.

This is just a small episode, and Lu Ziqiu will not take it to heart. After a period of rest, the players began to train for the rest of the game.

But then injuries began to hit the Wolves. Lu Wei was the first to fall. His fragile right foot unfortunately collided with his opponent during the game, which led to the recurrence of the old injury. Can't come back until the playoffs.

After Lu Wei fell, Han Bin also fell. He collided with the opponent's center when he broke through the inside line in a game. He lost control of his body in the air and did not protect himself in time when he fell to the ground, resulting in a comminuted fracture of his arm. He was reimbursed for the season .

This is definitely two fatal bad news for the team.

But in the next game, the rest of the players also played on and off due to injuries. The Wolves, which was in a good situation, became extremely difficult in a blink of an eye. Under such circumstances, Lu Ziqiu still led the team to strive for the postseason. In the end, he and the players barely squeezed into the playoffs thanks to the hard work of him and the players.

But no one is optimistic about them, because their first opponent in the playoffs is Huaxia. If it is in the regular season, there may be hope of victory, but in the seven-game playoffs, they have no chance.

That night, Lu Wei and Xia Kexin came, and as soon as Lu Wei entered the door, he asked for a fight, "Coach, let me go."

Lu Ziqiu shook his head resolutely, "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, so I can't let you go."

"coach."

"Needless to say, if you lose this round of the series, you will lose. We will come again next season." If Lu Wei and Han Bin are not injured, Lu Ziqiu will definitely fight Huaxia to the end.

"But Lan Feng and Luo Peng couldn't make it in the first two games. If I don't make it, we really have no resistance at all."

"Give up on the first two games. In this round of the series, just try to win the next game."

Lu Wei shook his head bitterly. In fact, he knew that Lu Ziqiu's decision was right, but the opponent was Huaxia after all, so he refused to accept it.

Xia Kexin held his hand and said softly: "Listen to him, we will come again next season."

Lu Wei didn't speak, got up and walked out in frustration.

Xia Kexin bit her lip and looked at Lu Ziqiu. Lu Ziqiu took a deep breath, "Go and spend more time with him."

Not only Lu Wei is not reconciled, but Lu Ziqiu is even more unwilling, but time is fate, this season is destined to stop in the first round.

After Lu Wei left, Lan Feng and Luo Peng came to ask for a fight again, but Lu Ziqiu refused all of them. The reason was simple, he would not let players play with injuries for a hopeless playoff.

The two were unable to fight, and left angrily.

Diana smiled wryly and said, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have fought for the playoffs."

Lin Qian also smiled wryly, "Other powerful teams are trying to make it to the playoffs, but we are doing well here. The board of directors didn't even say a word after entering the playoffs."

It’s okay not to mention these things, but Diana got angry when she said it, “When Lu Wei and Han Bin fell, they knew there was no hope. We screwed up."

Seeing that Lu Ziqiu frowned tightly and did not speak, Lin Qian couldn't help feeling a little worried, and hurried over to hold his hand and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just how to play in this round of the series."

But Lin Qian knew him too well, and she knew that this was obviously just his perfunctory rhetoric, but so what?If he doesn't say anything, it's useless to ask more.

"It's already like this, what else do you want?" Diana gave him an annoyed look.

"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Lu knows it well." Li Minghui dragged her to his side, "Sit down, and don't disturb Brother Lu's thinking."

Lu Ziqiu patted Lin Qian's hand and stood up, "Sit down first, I'll go and see Han Bin."

"I'll go with you, I want to see Han Bin too." Lin Qian stood up.

"Then let's go too." Diana also pulled Li Minghui up.

Lu Ziqiu smiled wryly, and pushed Diana and Li Minghui back, "You stay here, and I'll walk with Sissy by the way."

Diana was dissatisfied, and curled her lips: "Then let's go home."

"As a younger sister, can't you help me make some supper?"

"Just know how to eat." Diana pouted and turned her head dissatisfied, but she didn't intend to insist on leaving.

Lu Ziqiu nodded to Li Minghui, and led Lin Qian out of the villa.

When I got outside, the evening wind blew, and I felt a little better.

The two walked for a while, but it was Lu Ziqiu who explained, "Actually, I was thinking about the team doctor just now, but because Diana couldn't hide her words, I didn't tell you. You won't be angry, right?"

Lin Qian smiled and shook her head, "What's wrong with the team doctor?"

"It's nothing, but the level is not high."

"So you want to call the team doctor again?"

"I just want to add one or two more experienced team doctors, and I don't mean to change them."

Lin Qian thought about it for a while, "I see, you are afraid of exceeding the budget and the board of directors will not approve it?"

Lu Ziqiu couldn't help smiling bitterly, "You think too much, I'm just looking for someone, don't think too badly about the board of directors, in fact, they are just a little more careful, and they are not bad at heart."

"You always think on the bright side, but sometimes I support Diana's statement, like this time, the team has entered the playoffs, and they didn't even call to congratulate, what a return. What? It seems like the team has nothing to do with them."

Unexpectedly, she has accumulated so much resentment. It seems that it is because she has been with Diana for a long time.

Oh, that girl Diana.

Thinking of this, Lu Ziqiu couldn't help but say to her, "You, you were spoiled by Diana. The game just ended tonight, and our place in the playoffs was also determined tonight. How could they be so fast?"

Before he finished speaking, the phone rang. Lu Ziqiu saw that it was Xia Hongfei, and hurriedly handed it to her, "Look, isn't the phone call?"

Lin Qian curled her lips and said nothing.

Lu Ziqiu pinched her face before connecting. Xia Hongfei on the other end of the phone was incoherent with excitement, saying that the phone hadn't stopped after the game, and that he had no time to call him until now. Lu Ziqiu told everyone that he must not be drunk or return tomorrow night, etc.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ziqiu will ask Diana to notify her. Only then did Lin Qian's face look better, "It's finally not in vain."
