basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 56
"General manager, look quickly, Thompson and the others have replaced all the rookies." Diana said suddenly.

Lu Ziqiu glanced at them and snorted softly, "Go over and tell them that if they don't do what I say, I will fire them as soon as the game is over."

"Okay." Diana walked over angrily.

"Is this bad?" Yu Qin was a little worried.

"What are you worried about?"

"If they don't listen, do you really want to fire them? You know, our team has not stabilized yet."

Lu Ziqiu looked up at Thompson and Harris, who had gloomy faces, and sighed, "Their mentality has collapsed. If I don't wake them up in time, it will bring me more trouble in the future."

Yu Qin seemed to understand, but since Lu Ziqiu said so, he must have a reason, so he stopped worrying.

"Let's go, there's no need to watch this match any longer." Lu Ziqiu stood up suddenly and lowered his peaked cap again.

"Oh." Yu Qin followed behind him step by step.

"What?" Thompson and Harris exclaimed almost in unison.

Diana repeated it blankly, "The general manager said, if you don't follow what he said, you can just pack up and leave after the game."

"Isn't he too domineering?" Thompson suppressed his anger.

Harris' eyes were burning, "Miss Diana, I hope you will not deceive us."

Diana sneered, "Believe it or not, it's up to you, I've brought my words, so I'm leaving."

"What should I do?" Harris asked in a low voice.

Thompson hesitated for a moment, and said angrily, "What else can we do? It's not just the two of us who are embarrassed. He is the head coach and the general manager. Since he wants to lose face, let him lose face."

Harris' eyelids twitched, "Okay, then we will replace them when the ball is dead."

Just as Lu Ziqiu and the two walked into the passage, Yang Xiaojing suddenly appeared out of nowhere, "Coach Lu, why did you leave?"

"Are you waiting for me here on purpose?" Lu Ziqiu was a little taken aback.

Yang Xiaojing nodded slightly, "Aren't you angry when the opponent's player provoked our team so much?"

"Angry?" Lu Ziqiu laughed dumbfounded, and asked, "Why should I be angry?"

"But you are the head coach and the general manager. In this case, shouldn't you set an example?"

"Do you think I should arrange the tactics myself, and then replace all the main players to bully a group of other children?"

Yang Xiaojing choked.

"This kind of situation often happens in the first-level league. Do I have to be angry every time I encounter it? Then how can I keep a calm mind and direct the game?"

Yang Xiaojing was left speechless when asked again.

Diana came over and said in a low voice, "I've conveyed your meaning to them, and it's up to them how to do it."

Lu Ziqiu nodded slightly, looked up at Yang Xiaojing, "Miss Yang, is there anything else you can do?"

Yang Xiaojing shook her head, "It's nothing, but," her eyes rolled suddenly, "You should have something to do when you leave now, right?"

"There is indeed something."

"Is it related to the transaction?" This had to make her feel curious, because she felt that since Lu Ziqiu had come to watch the match, there was absolutely no reason for him to leave shortly after the start of the match.

Lu Ziqiu shook his head slightly, "How many valuable players do you think the Wolves have now?"

Yang Xiaojing choked again, she suddenly felt that talking to Lu Ziqiu was too brain-burning.

But Lu Ziqiu quickly said again: "Don't worry, Ms. Yang, I will notify you as soon as the team makes any trades."

"Then I won't waste your time." It's too stupid to ask again.

After leaving the arena, the three of them went back to the hotel directly, Lu Ziqiu asked them to go back to rest first, and he called Gu Yuhang himself.

"What a rare visitor, you actually called me?" came Gu Yuhang's strange voice.

Lu Ziqiu replied flatly: "There are really not many things that we can talk about now."

Gu Yuhang paused, "Tell me, what exactly are you looking for?"

"happy."

Gu Yuhang sneered and did not speak.

"I want to make a deal with you, how about it?"

"Not interested." Gu Yuhang refused without even thinking about it.

Lu Ziqiu said disdainfully, "Are you afraid?"

"joke."

"Unexpectedly, you don't even have the guts to negotiate a deal with me."

"Lu Ziqiu, it's useless to use aggressive tactics with me. Want to get someone from me? Just dream."

Lu Ziqiu laughed suddenly.

Gu Yuhang said angrily, "Are you crazy?"

Lu Ziqiu laughed, "If it wasn't for Yan Bingtian's sake, do you think I need to trade with you? Bobcats former players, which player do I want? Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't agree, I will All the remaining players can apply for trades, believe it or not?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"So what if I threaten you?"

"Lu Ziqiu!" Gu Yuhang gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words angrily.

"Don't blame me for not giving you time to think about it. If I can't wait for your reply within an hour, you can wait to deal with the Bobcat mess."

"You are dreaming!" Gu Yuhang's tone gradually became cold, "Lu Ziqiu, I warn you, if I can get you out of the bobcat, I will definitely make you unable to get up again. You'd better not force me to do something."

Lu Ziqiu also replied in a cold voice: "I didn't settle accounts with you, I just didn't want to embarrass Ruxue, don't think you are really great." Hualuo hung up the phone suddenly.

After hanging up, Lu Ziqiu immediately called Yan Bingtian again.

Yan Bingtian hesitated for a long time after learning that he was going to make a deal, "Ziqiu, do you really want to poach someone from me?" He was much calmer and more sober than Gu Yuhang.

"I just want Lu Wei, and I've prepared the bargaining chip. If you agree, I'll take the video and talk to you in person."

"Have you looked for Gu Yuhang?"

"of course."

"I understand."

Lu Ziqiu did not answer, and waited patiently for his reply.

After a while, Yan Bingtian sighed and said, "Give me a moment, I need to communicate with Kaiser."

"Okay, but I don't want to wait too long."

"I understand, and at the same time, I also know that if Lu Wei didn't take the initiative to find you, you would never ask me for someone."

Lu Ziqiu smiled and did not reply.

"Hey, Ziqiu, do you know? You are the person I admire the most, and you are the person I fear the most. In fact, from the moment you proposed to trade Lu Wei with me, I knew I had no choice."

"I promise you, as long as Lu Wei is alone." Lu Ziqiu's heart softened, but Lu Wei had already spoken, and he agreed, so he had to do this, and he didn't want Lu Wei to waste the last few seasons in the Bobcats.

"I believe in your character. In this case, you wait for a while. I will communicate with Kaiser immediately, and I will give you an answer later."
