basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 90
Lan Feng was the first to react, "Coach, just say what you want us to do. I will never lose to that kid Lu Qian."

"That's right, looking at that kid's proud face, I can't wait to slap him." Lin Sen rubbed his sore arm. During a defense at the end of the second quarter, he was accidentally plotted against by Lu Qian. He can't get out.

Lu Ziqiu nodded, "Lu Qian is nothing to worry about. With his fiery temper, he can be tempted to commit another crime with just a little trick, but I don't want to use such a dirty method."

No more words, and began to arrange tactics on the tactical board, "Hayes, you will replace Lu Wei in the second half. We will play a three-back tactic. Lin Sen and Hayes, you two should play more pick-and-rolls and come out quickly. Ball, can you do it?"

"No problem, as long as I can win, I will do anything." Lin Sen gritted his teeth and said.

Hayes nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Coach."

"Han Bin, in the third quarter, you need to reduce your attack with the ball, and you should intersperse more in the two corners, and slip to the bottom line whenever you have a chance. I don't ask you to succeed in every layup, but you must give me their main center. Go down to the court and rest, can you do it?"

Han Bin smiled proudly: "As long as they pass the ball in time, I guarantee that he will get the fourth foul soon in the third quarter."

"Very good." Lu Ziqiu stammered, "Luo Mang, Lan Feng, the two of you should always mention high positions to do pick-and-rolls, and try to empty their inside lanes."

"it is good."

"Lan Feng, you need to increase your attack, it doesn't matter if you miss it."

"Ah."

"When defending, we still use zone defense at the beginning of the game. At the same time, you must pay attention to my gestures. When it is time to switch to marking, you must implement it to the end."

"Yes."

"The rest, all get ready, I may let you continue to appear on the stage at any time."

"Yes, coach."

"Okay, let's all go back and rest."

After setting up the tactics, Lu Ziqiu took Xia Kexin and George out of the locker room again, "What did the team doctor say?"

Xia Kexin's eyes dimmed, "The team doctor said it's best to let Lu Wei rest for a week, otherwise his old injury may recur at any time."

Lu Ziqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't be completely relieved, "Well, you should immediately send him to the hospital for another detailed examination."

The two nodded and went back to prepare.

Back on the field, Lu Ziqiu stretched out his hand for the first time.

The team members froze for a moment before putting their hands together.

Lu Ziqiu's serious eyes swept over the faces of each of them, "This match must be won, do you hear?"

Everyone nodded coldly.

"Go, let's fight."

No one spoke, and they all walked away with sullen faces. Lu Wei was not there, so they could only rely on themselves now.

At the beginning of the game, the Hornets attacked, and they still played from the inside.

Lan Feng still couldn't support the opponent's center forward, and was pushed away by him within a few strokes.

Luo Mang made up the defense in time, and at the same time sarcastically said: "You idiot, don't spread the word if you have the skills."

The Hornets center snorted and was not fooled. He flicked the ball and passed the ball to the teammate who came in. The teammate caught the ball and made a layup.

Unexpectedly, Lan Feng blocked his way again at some point. His speed was too fast, and he couldn't hold back the momentum at all, so he slammed into him heavily.

The referee's whistle sounded and the Hornets were sentenced to an offensive foul.

Lan Feng stood up expressionlessly, took the basketball from the referee and handed it to Lin Sen.

Lin Sen changed his usual style, and after taking the ball, he was very calm, and slowly pushed the ball past halftime.

Lan Feng and Luo Mang pulled him outside in time to set up a pick-and-roll for him. Lin Sen used the cover to bypass the defender, and suddenly accelerated straight to the inside. Before the defender could make up the defense, he quickly passed the ball to Hayes who came over to respond. .

Hayes didn't stop the ball, and quickly passed the ball to Han Bin who slipped from the bottom line.

After Han Bin received the ball, he roared loudly and started to dunk.

"Don't even think about it!" The Hornets center defended in place and jumped up to block the shot.

Han Bin's eyes were cold, he didn't care, and rushed straight at the opponent.

When the two collided, Han Bin lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, but he immediately got up again and looked at the opponent's center with cold eyes.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the Hornets were sentenced to a defensive foul, and the Wolves made two free throws.

"Okay." Lu Ziqiu couldn't help but applaud loudly, as long as the opponent's main center strikes, the next game will be much easier.

"Stupid!" Hornets head coach stomped his feet angrily, and immediately applied for a substitution.

Made two free throws and made a steady hit.

Han Bin and his teammates high-fived each other, and retreated to their own half with a sneer.

Lu Ziqiu gestured for them to switch to man-to-man defense, lock their outside lanes and release their inside lanes.

Without the restraint of the main center forward, the Hornets played extremely hard. In the first round, they were defended by the Wolves until nearly 24 seconds into a violation before they panicked.

The ball bounced out of the frame, Luo Mang jumped up and easily received the defensive rebound.

After several passes, the ball was passed to Han Bin who slipped the baseline again. He still went straight to the inside to dunk without hesitation, but the dunk failed and caused another kill.

In the next game, Han Bin almost went crazy. As long as he got the ball, he didn't care about anything. He just went straight to the inside, causing fouls or scoring.

The Hornets were forced to have no choice but to call a timeout.

When Han Bin left the field, he was already out of breath.

Lu Ziqiu patted him on the shoulder in relief, "Thank you."

"I said I'd cut through their insides, and I'd never break my word."

"Well, let's take a rest."

"Okay." Han Bin went straight to the bench without saying a word.

Lu Ziqiu adjusted his tactics again, replaced Lan Feng with Barea and Xiaozhi, and played small ball tactics again, "From now on, you must expand your defense and don't let them get close to the basket easily. Whenever you have a chance, immediately launch Fast break, Lin Sen, I allow free play."

Lin Sen licked his lips and laughed sinisterly, "Is it finally my turn?"

"Go ahead, if you don't have a chance to break fast, just dribble and play with their shooting guard, that man's mentality is about to collapse."

"Okay, I promise to make him terrified the next time he sees me."

The arena, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Lu Ziqiu looked up, "I don't want to hear their annoying voices again."

The players nodded coldly and went on the field aggressively again.

"They finally started to learn how to fight as a team." George appeared beside Lu Ziqiu at some point.

Lu Ziqiu looked at the players galloping on the field, and showed a relieved smile, "It's still early, they are just starting now, and the reason why they can perform like this is nothing more than being stimulated by Lu Wei's injury."

"But at least it's off to a good start."

"Yeah, at least it's off to a good start."

George was silent for a while, "Don't worry, I will let Lan Feng and Luo Mang learn low-post attack as soon as possible."

"Ah."

The Wolves' field lineup, except for Lin Sen who can break through with the ball, the rest can only help him pick and roll non-stop, and keep providing off-ball screens for other teammates.

Lin Sen was not in a hurry, and deliberately played the Hornets' shooting guard on two consecutive offenses.

A tsunami of boos suddenly resounded through the arena.

But Lin Sen didn't care at all, and he still went his own way, until the opposing shooting guard's mentality completely collapsed, and he was replaced by the Hornets coach.
