Chapter 83 Large Area Rotation

Driven by the on-site DJ, the audience began to play human waves, and the atmosphere of the entire arena was instantly ignited.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Martin began to make substitutions, gradually replacing the main players.

Lu Ziqiu also started to make substitutions. Lin Sen played again and replaced Xiao Zhi, Barea replaced Lan Feng, Luo Ying replaced Han Bin, three small guards, two power forwards, the height of the lineup suddenly dropped.

"Three small guards, Coach Lu is going to play small ball?" Luo Chen exclaimed.

"Coach Lu's employment is always unexpected. It seems that the team is going to speed up." Caesar nodded.

Yang Xiaojing glanced at the score counter, 16:24, 8 points behind, still within an acceptable range, but Lu Wei and Han Bin are not the two main scorers, this lineup does not even have a stable scoring point, How should I fight?
The game started and Agni served.

The Wolves suddenly resorted to a full-court press.

The players on the fire field were taken aback. Although they barely dribbled the ball across the half court, the Wolves players were biting like mad dogs. Without Anthony Jones and Cao Nan's fire outside, they were suddenly at a loss.

Seeing that 24 seconds were about to expire, Yang Tian suddenly threw away Luo Ying, and after catching the ball, he stopped and made a jump shot, and the basketball bounced out of the hoop.

Luo Mang tried his best to block Chuck Hayes behind him, jumped up and grabbed the rebound, and just as he landed, he threw the ball to Lin Sen.

Lin Sen was like a wild horse running wild, dribbling the ball and rushing across the half court.

There were only two defenders on the fire field who could return to the defense in time, but the Wolves had a fast break on the third line, and they were simply unable to defend.

Lin Sen roared and went straight to the opponent's basketball. Before Yang Tianbu came over, he flicked his wrist and passed the ball from his crotch.

After catching up, Barea grabbed the basketball, took three steps, and ended the fast break with a tomahawk dunk.

"Strike!" Wolves, who had been depressed for a long time, suddenly jumped up from the bench, and cheers resounded throughout the arena.

"Good job, rookie." Lin Sen laughed and gave Barea a high-five.

Barea smiled shyly, "You pass the ball well."

Martin turned his head and looked at Lu Ziqiu who had been staring at the field, "Stinky boy, it seems that he is going to give me a bad blow."

Thinking of this, he whistled suddenly and gestured for them to change tactics.

Seeing their spread out, Lu Ziqiu didn't dare to press the whole court anymore, so he quickly signaled the players to retreat to the half court, and at the same time asked them to switch to zone defense.

The two started a contest that lasted nearly 3 minutes. In the last attack, Lu Ziqiu made another substitution, replacing Lu Wei and Han Bin.

Martin also replaced Cao Nan and Anthony Jones.

Lin Sen dribbled the ball across the half court and passed the ball to Lu Wei. Cao Nan lowered his knees and stared at him, "Lu Wei, let's have a heads-up."

Lu Wei didn't answer, and kept waiting for time to run out.

Time passed by second by second, and when there were 8 seconds left, Han Bin and Lin Sen suddenly accelerated, threw off the defenders and rushed towards Lu Wei.

"Double screen." Martin frowned, and shouted loudly: "Be careful to switch defenses, don't give them an open space."

With 5 seconds left, Luo Mang and Barea also rushed out of the penalty area to do a pick-and-roll.

Agni's defensive formation suddenly became chaotic, and Lu Wei took advantage of the situation to break through and go straight to the basket.

Cao Nan was a beat slower, but still pursued closely.

"Don't even think about scoring easily." Chuck Hayes suddenly stopped at the basket.

Lu Wei seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and suddenly moved the ball to the back while walking. Cao Nan couldn't react in time, and could only watch the basketball fly by in front of his eyes.

Luo Mang kept catching the ball and transferred it again.

Han Bin was already unguarded. He easily caught the ball and took off, making a three-pointer.

"Beep!" The whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter.

27: 32.

The Wolves are still 5 points behind.

But they were high-spirited, and they swaggered off.

Lu Ziqiu stood on the sidelines, high-fiving the players one by one.

But this time, he didn't let them rest, but immediately began to change generals and arrange new tactics.

The lineup on the field has changed to center Lan Feng, power forward Milton, small forward Han Bin, shooting guard Morris, point guard Lin Sen, all old players, and no rookies. This lineup can't play fast break at all, but the victory lies in Sufficient experience, and both Milton and Morris have certain shooting ability.

Agni is led by point guard Anthony Jones and small forward Cao Nan.

Lu Ziqiu's offensive tactic is to constantly pick and roll Lin Sen, allowing him to constantly break through and score the ball.

Agni uses unlimited defense changes, and uses Cao Nan as the main attack point when attacking, and is bound to exhaust Lu Wei's physical energy.

The Wolves' first attack turned out to be an air cut Lan Feng ended up with a dunk. After suppressing it for a long time, he couldn't help shouting up to the sky, and when he returned to defense with momentum, he blocked the sky and gave the fire substitute power forward a big hat.

The momentum of the Wolves was completely brought up by him, and everyone defended desperately.

For three consecutive rounds, the Wolves scored twice, but Agni didn't score a point, and the score was suddenly chased down to only one point.

Martin had to make substitutions and adjustments again, removing the backup center and replacing him with a small forward. As a result, the switching speed suddenly accelerated, and specifically aimed at the slow speed of Lan Feng and Milton, he repeatedly picked and rolled and cut. The Wolves had nothing to do.

The score was opened again, but Lu Ziqiu was not in a hurry to change players, but kept gesturing to Lu Wei on the field, asking him to strengthen his personal attack, and kept reminding the players to move to open the attack for Lu Wei space.

"Drink a glass of water." Xia Kexin took a glass of water and walked over to Lu Ziqiu.

"Thank you." Lu Ziqiu took it and finished it in one gulp.

"Don't worry too much, your voice will become hoarse after a while."

Lu Ziqiu handed her the quilt, shook his head and said, "I'm not in a hurry."

"But you weren't so excited in the last game."

"Because the opponents are different, Martin is one of the coaches I respect the most. I have to give it my all, otherwise I will be contemptuous of him."

Xia Kexin didn't know what to say, so she could only retreat first.

Lu Ziqiu turned his head to look at Martin. Martin seemed to have sensed it, and turned his head to look over. His eyes met, and sparks erupted in the air.

Toms patted Li Hui, motioned him to look at Lu Ziqiu and Martin, and said with a smile, "That kid is dating Martin, who do you like?"

Li Hui understood that what he was asking was naturally not about the team's victory or defeat. "Judging from the current situation, Ziqiu has the upper hand, and Martin is a bit passive."

"That's right, do you remember how many people he rotated this time?"

Li Hui smiled wryly and said, "Eleven people, he is really courageous enough. I think he will send all of them to the field when the fight is over, just like the last match."

Thomas also smiled wryly, "As far as the Wolves are concerned, how many of them do you like?"

"Except for Lu Wei and Luo Mang, I don't like any of them."

"Luo Mang's function is too simple, I don't like it, but that Lin Sen is good, although sometimes he is a bit reckless."

Li Hui pondered for a moment and said, "Should we try to talk to Ziqiu and replace Lu Wei? If we have him as Cao Nan's substitute, we won't be afraid of Huaxia."

"You don't even need to think about it, Lu Wei is his treasure."

"Hey, the Bobcats are really stupid to give up a player like Lu Wei."

Thomas' eyes flashed, "The most stupid thing about Shanmao is to drive Ziqiu away."

"That's right, Martin is also getting old. He will probably retire in a few years. It would be great if Ziqiu is willing to come back by then."

Thomas shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I will talk to him then."
