basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 89
During this timeout, the Hornets formulated a tactic of releasing Lu Wei while defending and locking up the other four players. When attacking, no matter who Lu Wei defended, whoever would single Lu Wei endlessly.

This was beyond Lu Ziqiu's expectation.

After all, Lu Wei is old, and after being infinitely targeted on the defensive end, his physical fitness declined very quickly.

Lu Ziqiu had already started to replace him to rest, but unfortunately there was no dead ball, and Xiao Zhi had been waiting on the sidelines for quite a while.

Unexpectedly, something happened at this moment.

Lu Wei received Lin Sen's pass, a fake move sent Lu Qian flying, and was about to speed up his breakthrough.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qian, who was in the air, couldn't hold back the momentum, and the two suddenly collided heavily.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded, and the referee called Lu Qian a foul.

Lin Sen ran over to help Lu Wei, but seeing him clutching his knee in pain, he couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly gestured to Lu Ziqiu.

Lu Ziqiu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked the team doctor to play.

The game had to be suspended.

"Lu Qian, you bastard!" Lan Feng rushed over angrily, grabbed his jersey and glared at him.

"I really didn't mean it." Lu Qian felt guilty, but he really couldn't control his body.

"What are you doing, let go quickly." The three referees rushed over immediately and pulled the two apart.

"Bastard, I'll settle the score with you after the game." Lan Feng threw off the referee angrily and ran to visit Lu Wei.

Han Bin, Lin Sen, and Luo Mang all stood up with grim faces, and glared at Lu Qian with their fists clenched.

"How is he?" Lu Ziqiu also rushed over, looking at the team doctor eagerly.

The team doctor shook his head, "Help him back to the locker room for a detailed examination."

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Lu Wei forced a smile.

"Let's go back first." Lu Ziqiu held his hand tightly, bent down and helped him up.

Just a few steps away, Lu Qian ran over to apologize, "Believe me, I really didn't mean to."

Lu Wei smiled and nodded, "It's not your fault."

"It was just an accident, no one will blame you." Lu Ziqiu reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and Lu Qianneng came over to apologize, which changed his view of Lu Qian, "Play hard, you are an excellent player player."

Lu Qian was at a loss for words, and apologized to Lu Wei again before turning and walking away.

For the remaining 3 minutes, Lu Ziqiu handed over the command to Thompson, and he followed him back to the locker room.

Without Lu Wei and without Lu Ziqiu's command, the Wolves suddenly became unable to play, and were beaten helplessly by the Hornets who combined inside and outside.

At the end of the second quarter, the score was overtaken again.

51: 50.

The Wolves only have a narrow lead by one point.

After returning to the locker room, the team doctors put Lu Wei on a stretcher and began to examine him in detail.

Lu Wei smiled wryly: "It's useless when you're old, you can't hold on for half a game."

Lu Ziqiu held his hand sadly again, "Don't talk nonsense, rest well, I still need your help."

"I'm fine, it's just that the energy consumption is a bit high."

"Does your leg feel uncomfortable?"

"No, if you feel uncomfortable, I will tell you."

Not long after, the team members came to visit in a hurry, and Lu Ziqiu asked them to leave first and not disturb the team doctor's examination.

"Coach, is Lu Wei okay?" Lan Feng looked worriedly at Lu Wei who was lying on the stretcher.

"The team doctor is checking, and judging from the current situation, there shouldn't be any serious problems."

Lan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a gloomy face, "Lu Qian, bastard, if anything happens to Lu Wei, I will definitely beat him to death."

"Lu Qian didn't do it on purpose, don't bother him." Lu Ziqiu told him, then looked up at Lin Sen and the other three, "And you three, no one is allowed to trouble Lu Qian, fight like a soldier In the end, instead of looking for revenge like a bitch, you hear?"

The three nodded sullenly.

Lu Ziqiu was still worried about them, and told Lan Feng again, "Look at them for me."

Lan Feng took a deep breath, adjusted his mood and said, "I will."

If Lan Feng could agree, then the matter should be over. Lu Ziqiu waved them to rest again, looked up to see George winking at him, and followed him out of the locker room.

As soon as George went out, he said in a deep voice: "I don't think Lu Wei's face looks like he's exhausted. It's best not to let him play in the second half."

Lu Ziqiu nodded solemnly, and was about to answer, but Yang Xiaojing rushed over, "Coach, you go back first, if the situation is unclear, arrange to send Lu Wei to the hospital immediately, I can't take any risks."

"Okay." George replied, turned around and went back.

Yang Xiaojing asked in a panic, "Is Lu Wei okay?"

"It's okay for the time being, but this one can't be played again."

"It's fine." Yang Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became serious again, "Are you confident to win this game?"

"There is definitely confidence, but there is no complete certainty."

Yang Xiaojing frowned a few times, "You must win, if you lose, the media will explode again."

"Winning or losing is none of their business." Lu Ziqiu was already worried about Lu Wei's situation, and he couldn't help getting angry when he heard this.

Yang Xiaojing was taken aback, "Don't be impulsive, it's really hard to handle if the media hears about it."

Lu Ziqiu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Miss Yang, sometimes I really don't understand why the Yancheng media would target me like this? You are also a media worker, can you help me analyze it?"

"Do I still need to say it? It's clear that someone is deliberately targeting you."

"But I never offended anyone."

"Have you forgotten Li Wen?"

"You mean she posted the first article?"

"No, no, no." Yang Xiaojing shook her hands again and again, "I'm just reminding you."

Lu Ziqiu understood, it's not that he didn't offend others, but subconsciously he didn't want to think about it, "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention."

"Although I am just a team reporter, I am also a part of the team."

Having said that, Lu Ziqiu expressed his gratitude again.

Yang Xiaojing smiled slightly, waved her hand and said, "Okay, I won't disturb your work, see you later."

Lu Ziqiu nodded, "I'll let you know what's going on with Lu Wei as soon as possible."

Yang Xiaojing had already turned around, but when she heard the words, she turned her head and smiled sweetly, "I don't want to hear bad news." After replying, she waved her hands again, turned and left.

Lu Ziqiu adjusted his mood, returned to the locker room, and clapped his hands, "Everyone come here."

Everyone surrounded him with solemn faces.

Lu Ziqiu took the tactical board from Xia Kexin, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. Although the situation seems to be unfavorable to us now, it is not difficult to deal with the Hornets."

Everyone was stunned and looked at him in astonishment.

Thompson frowned and said, "The team doctor suggested that Lu Wei not be allowed to play in the second half. Without his restraint, do we still have a chance of winning?"

"Of course, how can a mere Hornet stop us?" Lu Ziqiu raised his head proudly and looked around the crowd, "As long as you believe in me and strictly follow my tactics, the Hornet is nothing to worry about."

Everyone had never seen him like this before, and they couldn't help being stunned again.
