Chapter 79 Selective Abandonment

There was no game the next day, so Lu Ziqiu gave the players half a day off.

But he gathered all the coaching staff members into the club conference room for a meeting.

Before the meeting started, Xia Hongfei came suddenly. Lu Ziqiu got up to greet him, and he asked with a smile: "I heard from Kexin that you two are going to have a meeting, so you came together, Ziqiu, do you agree?"

How can Lu Ziqiu disagree?
He was invited to sit in the chair, but Xia Hongfei insisted on refusing, saying: "I'm just here to listen, the real decision-makers are you, so I" He suddenly walked to the last seat of the conference table, "I'll just sit here, You don't have to worry about me."

Seeing that he insisted on this, Lu Ziqiu no longer insisted, sat down and said: "The first game is over, although we won, but there are many problems, so I suggest that you gather the players to watch the video together after training in the afternoon, What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded, expressing no opinion.

Lu Ziqiu said again: "Our next game schedule will be very difficult, do you have any ideas?"

Everyone frowned after hearing the words, thinking about how to answer.

After a while, George spoke first, "I think we can choose to give up strategically in the face of the fire and the Bobcats."

Thompson shook his head and said, "I have no problem with the Fire giving up, but the Bobcats have just changed a lot of players, and they will definitely need a period of time to adjust, so I think they can fight with them."

Harris agreed with him.

Xia Kexin and Luo Da couldn't express their opinions at all.

George shook his head and said, "The Bobcats need to adapt, so why don't we need to adapt? Don't forget that the Bobcats were the finals team last season. Although they lost some players, they have two more All-Stars, and their strength is far beyond that. Above us, if we fight head-on with them, we may lose more than we gain."

Both Thompson and Harris frowned, and Harris said: "But I am worried that the players' hearts will fluctuate. I think everyone should be very clear that we have a few arrogant masters."

"But our goal is to make it to the playoffs as much as possible, and Lu Wei is getting older, so the physical load on him is too great. It is better to give up the strong team strategically and try our best to win the weak team. Isn't it better?"

Thompson shook his head, "Even if we face a weak team, can we be sure? In yesterday's game, if the head coach hadn't directed well, I'm afraid we would have lost in the end, so I think we can give up the game against Agni, but You still have to compete with the bobcats."

Harris then said: "That's right, what's more, the head coach knows the tactics of the Bobcats like the back of his hand. We don't have no chance."

Xia Hongfei, who sat at the end, frowned, and almost couldn't hold back his words a few times. For him, the team has only just been formed. If he gives up the game easily, the morale he has built up with great difficulty will soon be wiped out. up.

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly, waved his hand to signal them to stop, and then slowly opened his mouth, "What you say makes sense, but I have a different opinion."

Everyone looked at him at the same time.

Lu Ziqiu paused and said: "Harris is very correct in one point. Our team does have a few proud players. Especially after winning the game yesterday, they all felt proud. It is very unacceptable.”

Xia Kexin answered: "That's right, I also discovered this when I contacted them after the game."

She is a psychological coach, even if she says something, everyone will naturally not doubt it.

George asked, "What do you mean?"

Xia Kexin shook her head, "I can only try my best in the process of getting in touch with them, but I don't have the confidence to correct their mentality."

Lu Ziqiu said: "It's actually very simple. If you want them not to be proud, then let them fight a real strong team. Only in this way will they realize the gap between them."

Xia Hongfei finally understood something, and couldn't resist asking: "Ziqiu, do you mean not to give up the game?"

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, "I will not give up with Agni, but with Bobcat, I will still choose to give up."

"Why? Don't you want them to realize their gap?"

"One game is enough."

"Then why do you want to fight with Lie Rush instead of the Bobcats?" In his opinion, the Bobcats should be stronger.

"Agni is a strong contender for the championship this year. No matter how hard we fight against the Agni, it is impossible to win, but the Bobcats are not as strong as they appear on the surface, and their head coach Kaiser is very average on the spot, so I give up. The Bobcats are playing to beat them the second time we meet."

Xia Hongfei's heart pounded when he heard it, "Do you want to win Shanmao?"

The rest of the people were also shocked, and even Xia Kexin's eyes widened in disbelief. No matter how the Bobcats had two All-Star players, plus the team built by the original team, no matter how bad it was, it would never be the same. Impossible is the current Wolves can win.

Lu Ziqiu nodded, "I'm sure."

"Okay." Xia Hongfei suddenly clapped his hands in applause. After applauding, he almost made a decision. He raised his hand halfway before realizing that he was here to listen, not to make a decision, so he quickly put his hand away again.

The next meeting was much simpler. Basically, Lu Ziqiu was assigning training tasks, and the rest of the people just listened and then carried out.

After the meeting ended, Xia Hongfei winked at Lu Ziqiu.

Lu Ziqiu asked the others to go back first, "Chairman, do you have something to tell me?"

"Have you heard about Kexin?"

"Kexin?" Lu Ziqiu didn't react for a while, and asked blankly, "What happened to her?"

"Sigh." Xia Hongfei has no doubts about him, and also thinks that his daughter should not tell him everything, "Zhao Yunchao came to look for Kexin before, hoping that Kexin could marry Zhao Fenghui, and Yufei agreed again. But I know that Kexin doesn't like Zhao Fenghui, so I'm afraid she will feel uncomfortable, if you have a chance, enlighten her, she will listen to you more."

Lu Ziqiu nodded guiltily after listening, "If there is anything wrong with her, I will try my best to comfort her, don't worry."

"Do you think it's weird?"

"Strange?" Lu Ziqiu was taken aback again.

"Yeah, logically speaking, Kexin doesn't like Zhao Fenghui, so I just rejected it, but if I do that, Yufei will definitely quarrel with us endlessly, so I also have a very headache now."

"Ma'am, why would she do this? Shouldn't she be thinking about Kexin's happiness?" This was something he couldn't figure out all the time. No matter how close Xia Hongfei's family was to Zhao Yunchao's family, they wouldn't have to sacrifice Kexin's. happiness.

"It's a long story."

Xia Hongfei sighed and explained the reason, and after a lot of talking, it can be summed up in one sentence, that is: firstly, Bai Yufei felt that she was ashamed of Zhao Yunchao, and secondly, she really liked Zhao Fenghui, so she thought about two things. The family can form an in-law family, so that they can get closer and closer, and she can feel better.

Lu Ziqiu was completely speechless after hearing this, such a selfish woman is really rare.
