Chapter 80
The second game of the new season will be an away game against the favorite champion team, the Fire, which is definitely very unlucky.

However, Yancheng Sports Station still sent the golden pair of Luo Chen and Kaiser, and also invited Yang Xiaojing to their live broadcast station.

This was the first time in history, and Yang Xiaojing was inevitably a little nervous.

"Miss Yang, I see that you have interviewed Coach Lu and some of the players. I wonder if they have made sufficient preparations for this game?" the voice asked.

Yang Xiaojing clenched her fist nervously, "Everyone is fully prepared."

"I wonder what Coach Lu thinks of this game?" Caesar asked.

"The team will give it their all."

"Has the lineup been adjusted?"

"No, it's still the same as last time."

Luo Chen asked: "Agni is very strong, does Coach Lu have a targeted play?"

Yang Xiaojing smiled slightly, "Coach Lu didn't elaborate on this point, but I believe he will go all out."

At the same time, the local reporter also caught the fire coach Martin, "We are going to play against China in the next game. Will we let the main players take turns?"

"No, the head coach of the Wolves, Lu Ziqiu, is a respectable opponent, and we will do our best."

The reporter reminded: "But our next game will be a back-to-back game. If we fight too hard this time, it will be difficult to play against Huaxia."

Martin shook his head and said seriously, "Don't underestimate any opponent."

The reporter wanted to ask more questions, but Martin waved his hand suddenly, "Sorry, I'm going to say hello to my old friend." After saying that, he turned and left.

Several reporters froze for a while before looking for others to continue the interview.

"Ziqiu."

Just as Lu Ziqiu led the team out of the player tunnel, he suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw that it was Martin.

"Coach, long time no see." Lu Ziqiu bowed respectfully.

Martin helped him up with a laugh, and praised him as soon as he opened his mouth: "Good boy, you played very well in the last game."

"The cheetah's mentality was out of balance, so I took the opportunity."

"You kid is still humble in front of me?"

Lu Ziqiu slapped awkwardly.

Martin patted him on the shoulder, "How about it, are you mentally prepared?"

Lu Ziqiu nodded heavily, "I will do my best."

"Okay, this is my good apprentice." Martin sighed, and suddenly became serious, "I believe you will dedicate a wonderful game to the fans."

"Yes, coach."

Martin patted him on the shoulder again, "We still have a match tomorrow, and I won't be able to accompany you after tonight's match. Next time, let's get together again, master and apprentice."

Lu Ziqiu nodded and said: "Huaxia is very strong, you have to be careful."

"It's just a regular season, winning or losing doesn't matter."

"Too."

"Okay, the game will start soon, come on, don't let me down." The words were no longer muddled, he nodded and turned to leave.

Lu Ziqiu looked around the familiar arena, took a deep breath and walked back to the coach's bench.

Xia Kexin asked softly, "Is that Coach Martin just now?"

"Well, he is a very, very respectable opponent." Lu Ziqiu just replied and sat back on the coach's bench, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Thomas, who was sitting in the first row of audience seats, said, "That kid looks very serious."

Li Hui smiled slightly, "Ziqiu has always been like this."

Thomas nodded, "After the game, let's get together with him."

"Okay, do you want me to talk to him now?"

Thomas shook his head slowly, "Don't influence him."

After the players finished warming up, Lu Ziqiu suddenly opened his eyes, quickly picked up the tactical board, and beckoned everyone.

He looked around at everyone, and without a word of nonsense, he said, "The Fire has three All-Star players, namely center Chuck Hayes, small forward Cao Nan, and point guard Anthony Jones. These three have outstanding abilities. "

Everyone held their breath, and no one spoke.

"Chuck Hayes is strongest in post-up singles. He has many scoring methods, but his passing vision is not outstanding. The most feared thing is to be flanked. Once the timing of the flank is right, he often chooses to attack. So, Luo Mang, you have to Seize the opportunity to attack."

Luo Mang nodded heavily.

"Cao Nan has a balanced offense and defense, and has a very broad vision. He is a very comprehensive player, but his flaw is that he is not strong enough physically, and he is most afraid of high-intensity physical confrontation. Lu Wei, Cao Nan will leave it to you."

"Don't worry, coach, I will try my best to limit his performance." Lu Wei and Cao Nan are also considered old rivals. In the past, they were almost evenly matched in every match, but it was only for a short period of time. After all, Lu Wei is old. I can't last too long physically.

Lu Ziqiu is not worried about Lu Wei and Luo Mang, he is most worried about Lin Sen, "Anthony Jones is the top point guard in the league. His passing vision is very wide. Breakthroughs and three-pointers are his biggest killers. It’s defense, he will rush in to steal from time to time, so he will often lose his position, you have to take advantage of the opportunity he loses, as long as you have a chance, don’t hesitate, either break through the ball or shoot directly.”

"Okay." Lin Sen's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth and replied.

"When defending him, don't rush forward, use your footsteps to keep close to him, and try not to let him break through you easily."

"I see."

Next, Lu Ziqiu did not focus on which player to analyze, "Everyone has watched the video. You should know the characteristics of the players of the Agni team. The reason why I focused on the three players just now is to let you understand the gap. That's all."

Even the proudest Han Bin had no refutation after hearing this.

After that, he continued to arrange tactics, "Lu Wei is the first starting point for the offense. Others must actively run through off-ball screens. As long as there is an open space, you all attack boldly without worrying too much."

"Yes."

As for defense, he set up a zone defense for the first three rounds. "From the fourth round, you immediately changed to man-to-man tactics. Remember, except for their center forward, try not to pinch other positions. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"Okay, let's go take a rest and relax."

As soon as everyone dispersed, Lu Ziqiu sat back in his seat again. Everyone saw that he started to close his eyes and rested his mind again, so no one disturbed him.

After a while, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly, Lu Ziqiu frowned, secretly thinking that he was so confused that he forgot to put the mobile phone away.

Open it and see a message from Lin Qian: I don't have time to watch your live broadcast today, but you have to work hard.

Lu Ziqiu's heart felt warm, but he didn't reply. Instead, he turned off the phone directly and continued to close his eyes to rest.
