basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 28 Two Agreements
The matter of expanding the draft made Xia Hongfei and others brain-wrenching, and it also made them truly realize the difficulties of the team. Even some players who were given up were unwilling to come. It doesn't matter how difficult it is to sign star players. You can imagine.

But Lu Ziqiu was not discouraged. He quickly arranged for Diana and Thompson to meet with the undrafted picks. Within two days, he signed ten undrafted picks and transferred two players from the second team.

When players from the expansion draft report to the team, excluding the four players who will be bought out immediately, there will be a total of 22 players on the team. These 22 players will participate in the summer league at that time, and seven of them will be eliminated.

"Hi everyone, my name is Lu Ziqiu. First of all, on behalf of the Wolves team, I would like to welcome all of you."

In the Wolves training management, Lu Ziqiu had the first meeting with the players.

The undrafted players on short-term contracts and the players transferred from the second team were extremely excited. Regardless of whether they can stay or not, at least there is hope.

But the players selected from the expansion draft seem numb and unmoved at all.

Lu Ziqiu's eyes swept over them one by one, "Many players here have been my opponents before, and they should know my style more or less."

"Where is such nonsense coming from?" Lin Sen suddenly interrupted him in a cold voice, "Tell me, will you buy it out for me?"

In addition, the three people who wanted to buy out also looked at Lu Ziqiu at the same time, and one of them said: "We don't want to play under your account. You can either buy us out or trade us."

"That's right, even if you force us to stay, we won't do anything for you."

"I advise you to spend less time thinking, it is impossible for us to listen to your nonsense."

The faces of the coaching staff were scowling, especially Thompson and Harris, who had never seen anything like this in 30 years of coaching.

Xia Kexin bit her lip and looked at Lu Ziqiu nervously.

Diana clenched her teeth in hatred.

Lu Ziqiu glanced at the three of them coldly, "You three don't have to worry, you can buy them out if you want, just like the previous four people, voluntarily give up half of your salary, and we will buy you out immediately."

"fart."

"Shit."

"Are they crazy?"

All three of them stared at Lu Ziqiu with wide eyes.

The corner of Lu Ziqiu's mouth twitched, and he raised his hand. Diana, who had been prepared for a long time, neatly placed the agreement signed by the four people in Lu Ziqiu's hand.

Lu Ziqiu weighed the agreement in his hand, showing a faint smile, "Here is the agreement they signed, you can come and read it now, if you agree, we will implement it immediately, if you disagree, you will be honest Wait, don't think I need you very much."

The three were so angry that their veins shot out, but they couldn't speak.

After all, they are not really villains, if they were replaced by Lan Feng, they would definitely fight with Lu Ziqiu.

Lu Ziqiu also knew that they didn't have the guts to be so strong.

As for Lin Sen, he had to pay more attention.

Lin Sen stepped out with his head held high, "Bring me the agreement, I signed it."

Lu Ziqiu smiled and said, "That's them, not you."

"What do you mean?"

"The meaning is already very clear. You still have a three-year contract. Which idiot will buy you out?"

"Then I strongly demand a deal."

"Trading? What's your value? If you have value, will you be released to participate in the expansion draft?"

"You look down on me?" Lin Sen's gaze became a little colder.

There is nothing to shy away from, "My attitude is already very clear, don't I need to explain it clearly?"

"You!" Lin Sen stared at Lu Ziqiu angrily, looked at him from beginning to end, saw his legs, and suddenly turned his mouth, "What are you so proud of?"

"I don't think there is anything to be proud of, but if you want to leave the Wolves, you have to get my nod."

"You should also know what kind of person I am Rosen."

"Of course, a ghost guard, with all kinds of skilled basketball skills, fast speed, and good passing skills."

"Oh, you know me quite well. It seems that you have done some homework before."

Lu Ziqiu laughed, "With your level, you should be able to play in any team, but have you ever thought about why you were given up?"

Lin Sen raised his eyes in disdain, "They just don't know the goods."

"You are very conceited."

"I have the ability to conceit myself."

"Okay, then I'll assign a player to fight you one-on-one. You attack and he defends. How about it?"

"Don't you know I was born as a street player? One-on-one? Hehe." Lin Sen smiled disdainfully.

Lu Ziqiu looked at him seriously, "How dare you?"

"Why don't you dare? If I win, what will you do?"

"If you win, I'll let you go, if you lose, stay."

"Okay, gentleman."

"Hurry up and whip."

Impatiently, Lin Sen took off his jacket, revealing his muscular body. He glanced at Lu Ziqiu provocatively, headed high, walked to the cart beside him, took out a basketball from it, and patted it casually towards the court.

Lu Ziqiu walked towards Lan Feng and Luo Mang who stood at the end.

Lan Feng is an old acquaintance, and has had many private contacts with him. Lan Feng appreciates his basketball philosophy and coaching style very much.

Lu Ziqiu also admired his ruthlessness on the court very much, and in this way, he gradually developed a good friendship.

He proactively stretched out his hand, "Coach Lu, I didn't expect this day to come."

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly and shook hands with him, "When I was in Shanmao, I wanted to trade you, but unfortunately things always backfired."

"It's not too late to start now."

"good."

The two let go of their hands at the same time, and Lan Feng casually glanced at Lin Sen over there, "Do you want me to teach him how to play?"

"I prefer you to teach him how to behave."

"That's not easy? You don't even need to take off your coat to clean him up." Basketball rolled up his sleeves and was on call at any time.

Lu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "But today I just want to teach him how to play, and I don't need you to make a move."

Lan Feng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Luo Mang who was looking at the ceiling indifferently, "Hey, if you don't want to die, lower your head immediately for me."

Luo Mang turned his head abruptly, looking at Lan Feng with cold eyes.

The corner of Lan Feng's mouth twitched, "What are you looking at, do you still want to fight with me again?"

During the competition, they had two fights. Although they were stopped by others, Lan Feng had the upper hand in those two times.

Luo Mang doesn't talk harshly much, and he never talks nonsense with others, "Want to fight?"

"I've wanted to fuck you for a long time, but today I'll let you go for now. After the clown over there is cleaned up, let's make an appointment to have a good fight, how about it?"

"That's none of my business." Luo Mang turned his head and looked at Lu Ziqiu, "I know what you want to do, but I have no obligation to teach you a lesson."

Lu Ziqiu stared at him, and said seriously: "As long as you help me wholeheartedly this time, I won't care about anything except competitions and training in the future, how about it?"

Luo Mang's eyes flashed, "You keep your word?"

"Of course, but you have to do your best."

Luo Mang licked his lips, "Simple, I guarantee he will go out lying down."

"No, you can do anything, but you can't hurt him, he is useful to me."

"Okay, but you have to remember what you just said."

"Lu Ziqiu never speaks big words."
