basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 84
The two sides come and go, and the score gap has been controlled at about 5 points.

But as all the main players of Agni played again, the Wolves gradually lost their resistance.

Lu Ziqiu tried every means to maximize the abilities of the Wolves' existing personnel. However, except for Lu Wei, the rest of the team's functions were too single, and the game ended in a fiery victory.

80: 100.

twenty points.

Lost a full twenty points.

At the end of the game, the players looked at the naked score on the scorer and all clenched their fists unwillingly.

However, they have tried their best.

Driven by Martin, the fans at the scene gave Wolves a warm applause.

The players looked up in astonishment, as if they were in a dream.

"They actually gave us applause?" Lin Sen murmured.

No one answered him.

Lu Ziqiu took a deep breath, and took the team members to shake hands with Agni to congratulate.

The more Martin saw Lu Ziqiu, the more he liked him, and he couldn't help sighing: "If you were given Lu Wei who is a few years younger, we would have a much harder time fighting this game."

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly, "The next time we meet, it won't be so easy for you to win."

"Then you are wrong, our running-in will get better and better, and maybe we will win more easily by then."

"Coach, why don't we make a bet?"

"Okay, how do you want to bet?"

"Next time we meet, I will keep the score within ten points, and whoever loses will be invited to dinner."

Martin laughed, "Okay, it's settled."

Lu Ziqiu also laughed.

Martin suddenly approached and said in a low voice, "Go back to the locker room quickly, lest those reporters come over to bother you later."

"Okay, then let's call back." Lu Ziqiu didn't care about reporters if he played in other places, but this is Agni's home stadium. Given his relationship with Agni, the reporter would definitely not ask good questions, otherwise Thomas and Li Hui won't be able to hide forever.

"This time you won." Lu Wei shook hands with Cao Nan generously.

Cao Nan shook his head, "No, when you are in good physical condition, we are still evenly matched."

"But you won the game."

"That's because your teammates are not as good as mine."

It's the truth, even if it sounds harsh, "Next time we won't lose so easily."

Cao Nan nodded seriously, "I believe in you, but I don't believe in your team."

"We'll see." Lu Wei stopped talking, shook hands with everyone else, and then led the team and Lu Ziqiu back to the locker room.

Thomas and Li Hui had been waiting at the door of the Wolves locker room long ago, and Lu Ziqiu hurried over to greet them with a smile.

Thomas laughed and said, "Stinky boy, are you convincing to lose?"

Lu Ziqiu nodded, "I have tried my best."

Thomas laughed comfortably, and patted him on the shoulder heavily, "Come on, let's find a place to chat, that bastard Li Hui is yelling to get you drunk."

"Okay, you wait a moment." Lu Ziqiu went back to explain to the coaching staff and asked them to go back to rest early, have a holiday tomorrow morning, and set off tomorrow afternoon.

Thompson frowned and asked, "Who will attend the press conference after the game?"

"Let Lu Wei and Ke Xin go, I'll go back to the hotel later."

Since they had to catch a plane tomorrow, Thomas and Li Hui didn't stay with Lu Ziqiu for too long, but it was already one o'clock in the morning when they returned to the hotel.

Only now did he turn on his phone and sent Lin Qian a message back: At that time, I had to do my best to direct the game, so I am only replying to you now, sorry.

It was very late at night, but Lin Qian hadn't fallen asleep yet. In fact, she didn't know why, but she always felt empty in her heart.

Suddenly, the message rang, and she picked it up and saw that it was from Lu Ziqiu. For some reason, she suddenly felt much more at ease in her heart.

She originally wanted to reply to the message, but her finger stayed on the phone screen for a long time, but she couldn't press it no matter what.

Lin Qian hesitated for a long time, and finally put down the phone again, but she didn't reply to the message, and she suddenly felt a little bored.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

Lin Qian didn't know how she fell asleep last night.

After waking up, she took out her mobile phone and sent Lu Ziqiu a message: Sorry, I fell asleep last night, did you win the game?
She thought that Lu Ziqiu would not reply to the message so quickly, so she got up to wash up, but she never thought that the message would be returned so quickly.

She hurriedly opened it and saw that it was indeed from Lu Ziqiu: I lost, but I tried my best.

Come on, you will succeed.

Thank you.

So far, the two have stopped sending messages to each other.

Lin Qian went out to work after packing up, while Lu Ziqiu called the coaching staff for a meeting early in the morning.

In the third game, they are still on an away trip. After this game, they will face the Bobcats back to back. Since they have decided to give up the game against the Bobcats, they must win the third game. Otherwise, they will lose three games in a row. will be hit hard.

In the afternoon, they boarded the plane and set off for the next away game.

After arriving, Lu Ziqiu gave the players another holiday, leaving only Lan Feng alone.

Lan Feng guessed his intention of leaving himself, "Do you want to meet Lu Qian?"

"No, just go and meet him. I can't show up now."

"Do you really want Lu Qian to come over? That kid is really a troublemaker."

Lu Ziqiu smiled wryly, "Lu Wei is getting old, I can't make him work so hard every game, otherwise it is very likely that his old injury will recur."

Lan Feng no longer hesitated, "Okay, I will ask him out for dinner in a while."

He understood that once Lu Wei's old injury relapsed, the Wolves' combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced, and there would be no possibility of making it to the playoffs.

Before he left, Lu Ziqiu told him again: "Just reminiscing about the past, don't mention my interest in him for now."

"I see."

Not long after Lan Feng left, Xia Kexin hurried over, "Have you read the news?"

Lu Ziqiu shook his head in astonishment, "What's wrong?"

"We have media in Yancheng criticizing you for improper employment."

Lu Ziqiu smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter what they say, we just care about the competition."

"But there are a lot of people responding on the Internet, saying that you rotate too much and treat the game like a child's play."

"So what?"

"How about it? After these two games, we will go back to the home game. If we don't come out to respond, I'm afraid there won't be many spectators watching the game."

Lu Ziqiu forced her to sit down with a wry smile, "You, you just worry too much. If we respond to any report, wouldn't it be exhausting? What's more, how do you respond by yourself?"

Xia Kexin was taken aback, it was really difficult to explain, but if you don't explain it, the board of directors will be chattering, but what should I do?
"Did your father call you?" Lu Ziqiu calmed down and thought about it, and immediately thought of the key point. With Xia Kexin's disposition, she would never be so nervous because of such a trivial matter. Come on, it is obvious that someone on the board of directors is putting pressure on it.

Xia Kexin nodded with a wry smile, "My dad wants to hear your advice."

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, "You turn around and tell Diana to look at the PR department, and don't allow them to respond casually."

"But in this way, I'm afraid that people on the board of directors will have opinions."

Lu Ziqiu's face darkened, "I can't control that much, you just do it."
