Chapter 24 Sharp Questions

The press conference was held as scheduled. The Wolves only held a small press conference in Yancheng, but a lot of media reporters from all over the country came, crowding the already narrow conference hall.

Only Xia Hongfei and his daughter attended the press conference with Lu Ziqiu.

The three of them had just entered the press conference hall, and before they could sit still, the reporters rushed forward.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the staff worked hard for a long time to persuade all the reporters to return to their seats.

Afterwards, under the arrangement of the current host, the reporters began to ask questions in an orderly manner.

They were quite restrained at first, and they basically asked about the team's future plans. Xia Hongfei answered all these questions one by one.

When Lu Ziqiu was asked, the direction of the wind suddenly changed, and each question became more acute.

A female reporter from the local media in Yancheng asked, "Mr. Lu, what do you want to talk about in relation to the reports on the news a while ago?"

Lu Ziqiu replied calmly: "I'm a basketball worker, and my focus is on basketball. I rarely pay attention to news reports, so I'm sorry, but I can't answer your question."

Another local male reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, why did you terminate the contract with Bobcats?"

"There was a disagreement in our basketball philosophy, so we terminated the contract peacefully."

"Then why don't you go to Agni?"

"The Fire have a fantastic head coach and general manager, and they're doing a fantastic job."

But suddenly a female reporter asked: "If you go to Agni, can you do better than them?"

Lu Ziqiu frowned slightly, and looked up at the female reporter who asked the question. The female reporter held her head high and stared at Lu Ziqiu intently.

Xia Kexin clenched his fists nervously, Xia Hongfei watched with a smile suppressing his anger.

All the reporters suddenly fell silent, some were curiously waiting for Lu Ziqiu's answer, while others watched with glee.

Lu Ziqiu was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, "They did a great job."

"But it was the Bobcats who eliminated the Fire before. At that time, you were still the head coach and general manager of the Bobcats. Does that mean you are better than them?"

"The Bobcats made the shot and the Fire missed the ball, so the Bobcats won, which is a normal thing."

The female reporter frowned. This was not the answer she wanted at all, but if she continued to delve into this question, she would definitely be bored by then, so she had no choice but to give up asking the question.

But she gave up, and other reporters couldn't give up so easily.

Another reporter asked: "In the finals of last season, the three superstars of the Huaxia team were unstoppable. How do you see this?"

"I can only stand on the sidelines and watch, how else can I watch?"

Everyone was stunned, and many people couldn't help laughing.

The reporter felt ashamed and unhappy, so he followed up and asked: "As the head coach at the time, didn't you make specific arrangements before the game?"

"They won, I lost, it's as simple as that."

"There were two tight games, why did you put the captain of the team on the bench?"

"I have already mentioned this issue at the post-match press conference. If you are interested, you can go and find out. I will not elaborate here."

"Recently it was reported that you had dinner with the general manager of Huaxia before the game. Why is that?"

Lu Ziqiu stared into the reporter's eyes and did not answer for now.

Xia Kexin nervously handed him a bottle of water.

Lu Ziqiu turned around and smiled at her, took a leisurely drink before replying: "I did meet with the general manager of Huaxia, but it didn't happen before the finals, but during the mid-term trade of last season. After discussing the transaction, the two teams did make a small transaction."

"The reports some time ago seem to be inconsistent with what you said."

"Obviously, you haven't done enough homework. If you had done enough homework, you shouldn't have asked such a stupid question."

The reporter's face darkened, but Lu Ziqiu ignored him, but looked up at the other reporters, "Everyone, I have already explained this issue. If you don't believe me, I have nothing to do, but the fact It’s just that I’m not lying, you can verify it.”

Just kidding, who will ask for proof?

No one is obliged to clarify for him.

Lu Ziqiu has dealt with the media for so many years, how can he not understand their thoughts?
Asking so many questions in such detail is nothing more than waiting for their own answers to be wrong, so that they can make use of the questions.

"Mr. Lu, it was reported earlier that you have a relationship with Bobcat chairman's daughter and a female model. Do you have anything to explain?"

is her?Why is she here?
Lu Ziqiu looked in the direction of the voice, and Lin Qian was indeed sitting in the corner.

Lu Ziqiu couldn't clarify this issue at all. If it was clarified, the media would definitely go to Annie for verification. Annie is pregnant now. If she gets upset because of this matter, it may affect the fetus.

Besides, even if Annie comes out to clarify in the end, Yan Ruxue will most likely jump out to speak out, and if it doesn't work out, it will really become a farce that others will laugh at.

Xia Kexin took the microphone to explain, but was stopped by Lu Ziqiu shaking his head.

He took a deep breath, looked around at all the reporters present, and said lightly: "I'm very sorry, I will not make any further remarks regarding my personal issues."

Lin Qian is also helpless, she is very afraid of offending Lu Ziqiu now, but that mysterious man is really scary, "According to the information we got, you went back to Los Angeles the day before yesterday, I don't know if you went back this time to deal with Shanmao Or to see the model?"

"Sorry, this is my private matter and I have no comment."

Xia Hongfei lowered his face, took the microphone and said, "Please respect yourself, this is a press conference about basketball, please don't ask any questions that have nothing to do with basketball, otherwise I can only ask the staff to invite you out. "

Lu Ziqiu didn't clarify, so Lin Qian's purpose of this trip has been achieved, so she doesn't ask any more questions. She knows that these colleagues will definitely write about various topics after they go back, and Lu Ziqiu will be accused by thousands of people again.

Sure enough, the eyes of all the reporters were shining, and they already had their own answers in their hearts.

In addition, Xia Hongfei had already made a threat, so there was no need for them to hold on to this topic any longer.

The next question was not so sharp. Except for the local reporter who asked some questions about basketball, the other reporters remained silent.

After the press conference ended, Lu Ziqiu sent Lin Qian a message, telling her his address.

Both Xia Hongfei and Xia Kexin's father and daughter felt angry.

On the other hand, Lu Ziqiu calmed down a lot. He was still having a headache about the videographer. If Ye Yang didn't come, he could only let Xia Hongfei post the recruitment information.
