Chapter 21 I Need You
The shooting coach they are looking for is George, who was Lu Ziqiu's coach in college. He is very strict in training, but he is very approachable.

Lu Ziqiu asked him to come out of the mountain many times, but he politely declined.

Xia Kexin, who was driving, couldn't help frowning after hearing Lu Ziqiu's introduction, "Then if you invite him this time, will he come out?"

"I don't know, I have to try."

"If he refuses to come out, do you have a backup candidate?"

Lu Ziqiu nodded, "Don't worry, there are still backup candidates, but Coach George is the best candidate in my mind, so I still have to fight again."

"As the saying goes, there are only three things. If you come to invite me over and over again, I think he should be moved by your sincerity."

"It's hard to say. Coach George is a very old-fashioned person. We can only try it this time."

On the way, Lu Ziqiu called George, and George asked Lu Ziqiu to go directly to his house.

The chubby George greeted him out with a laugh, and gave Lu Ziqiu a warm hug, "My boy, there was a lot of news about you a while ago, and I was so worried about you."

Lu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Those are trivial matters, and they can't hurt me."

George laughed, and patted him on the shoulder again, "Okay, I sure didn't misread you."

The two exchanged some more pleasantries, and Lu Ziqiu introduced Xia Kexin to him, "Coach, this is the daughter of the chairman of the Yancheng Wolves team. She is currently my assistant, and her name is Xia Kexin."

Xia Kexin greeted politely, and then immediately said: "Our general manager often mentions you, saying that you were his coach in college. Without your diligent guidance, he would not have achieved what he is today."

George was even more happy when he heard this, and smiled from ear to ear.

Lu Ziqiu secretly gave Xia Kexin a thumbs up.

Xia Kexin raised her eyes triumphantly, as if to say: Look, I finally have something better than you, right? If you can't handle things, maybe I can handle them?

It took George a long time to stop laughing, "I take what others say as a compliment, but what this kid said can't be wrong, because he never knows how to compliment others."

Lu Ziqiu scratched his ears and cheeks in embarrassment.

Xia Kexin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Coach George is right, our general manager is just a brain."

"Haha, that's right, you're right, he's just a brain."

"Who's here? Look at you smiling like that." George's wife Agilina came out and her eyes lit up when she saw Lu Ziqiu, "Ziqiu is here, hurry up, please come in and talk, stand at the door Like what?"

Ai Jilina was Lu Ziqiu's English teacher in college, with a slender figure and long golden curly hair.

"Teacher, long time no see." Lu Ziqiu was obviously much more respectful to her.

Egilina stepped forward happily, took Lu Ziqiu's hand, and pulled him closer to the room.

George also invited Xia Kexin into the house together.

Lu Ziqiu introduced Xia Kexin and Aijilina to each other, and Aijilina warmly invited them to sit down.

After the four of them were seated, Agilina suddenly looked at Lu Ziqiu worriedly, "Ziqiu, I heard George talk about your matter a while ago, how is everything resolved?"

Lu Ziqiu shook his head with a wry smile, "Not yet, but I don't bother to care about those things anymore. People have their mouths, and they can say whatever they like. I just want to solve it, and I won't be able to solve it for a while."

Agilina sighed: "Those media are obviously talking nonsense, and that kid Wesson is really, no matter what, he doesn't stand up and speak for you."

"I can't blame Wesen and Annie for this matter. If they stand up to excuse me, the media will only paint it darker and darker, and they may say nothing at that time."

"Then what are you going to do? Are you going to be wronged like this?"

"You don't have to worry. In the Internet age, news spreads quickly and is quickly forgotten. Besides, I have found a team that is more suitable for me, so I don't care."

Agilina sighed again.

George lit a cigarette and smoked, "I've heard of the Yancheng Wolves. This team will only be added to the first-tier league next season. The previous players' ability is simply not suitable for the high-intensity competition of the first-tier league. Expansion of the draft It is also difficult to select good players, it seems that the burden on your shoulders is not light."

Lu Ziqiu nodded, "That's true, but I believe in my ability. As long as everyone can unite as one, I have the confidence to make the Wolves a strong team."

George took a breath of cigarettes, exhaled a thick smoke ring, and sighed: "Your achievements in the Bobcats are obvious to all. With your ability, if you are given enough time and support, it would be very difficult to build another Bobcats." has hope."

"No, coach, when I was in the Bobcats, I actually did things with my hands tied and I didn't have absolute control over the team, so sometimes many ideas couldn't be implemented, but the Wolves are different. The Wolves' board of directors will The management has been handed over to me, so I have the confidence to build a better team than the Bobcats."

Xia Kexin's blood boiled with excitement, and he clenched his hands into fists involuntarily.

Agilina nodded and said, "We all believe that you can do it."

George stubbed out the cigarette butt, "Tell me, are you going to ask me to help you again this time?"

Lu Ziqiu looked at him with burning eyes, and replied loudly: "Yes, I need your help more than ever. Only by entrusting the training of the players to you can I let go and do a good job."

George fell silent after listening.

Seeing that her husband didn't reply for a long time, Agilina couldn't help becoming anxious, "You should tell Ziqiu exactly."

Xia Kexin also looked at George eagerly, but at this moment, she couldn't open her mouth. She had already said what should be said and what could be said outside the door. If she complimented him at this time, it would seem a bit deliberate.

George looked up at his wife, sighed and said, "I see that he has such a heavy burden on his shoulders, and I am also worried for him, but if I go to Yancheng, what will you and the child do?"

Agilina gently held his hand, "You don't have to worry about me and the child, go ahead, I also hope that you can make a career, if one day, you and Ziqiu can lead the team to the final On the podium of the champion, we mother and daughter will all be proud of you."

But George still hesitated.

Lu Ziqiu saw hope, "Kexin, I want to ask you a favor."

Xia Kexin nodded and replied, "General manager, tell me."

"Help the coach and teacher's children find a good school in Yancheng, can it be done?"

Xia Kexin nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, as long as the coach nods, I will call my dad immediately to implement it. If Teacher Ai Jilina also wants to change jobs, I can also ask my dad to do it together."

George's eyelids twitched. If that was the case, he would never mind helping Lu Ziqiu. Anyone who loves basketball and has ability, who can resist the temptation of a professional league?

Agilina smiled slightly, "It's all here, do you have anything to worry about?"

George lit a cigarette again and took two puffs, "Okay, if that's the case, then let's go to school and resign later."

"Thank you, coach, thank you, teacher." Lu Ziqiu was overjoyed.
