Basketball: I'm on the court just to pick up the bottle

In the stands, President Zhu put down his phone, and reporter Guan asked, "What's the matter, Lao Du didn't arrange for Li Qiao to play in the second half, did he get injured?"

Editor Li also asked concerned: "Is Li Qiao injured?"

Mr. Zhu shook his head: "No injury, didn't Zhao Rui get an elbow at the beginning, Lao Du said that Zhao Rui had resentment, so he asked Li Qiao to avoid getting hurt off the court."

Reporter Guan sighed after hearing this: "Zhao Rui is good at everything, except that he is easy to get on top of."

Editor Li nodded and said, "Recently, the media has been hyping up the topic of Li Qiao, and even compared him to the strongest combo guard in the country. Zhao Rui has been sought after by the media, and he must feel uncomfortable being left out."

In the front row of the guest area, Mr. Yao and Vidic were also communicating in low voices.

"Yao, if I make some adjustments to the lineup, what will happen to your domestic public opinion?" Vidic asked in a low voice.

Mr. Yao has a delicate mind, and he also understood the meaning behind Vidic's words. He said with a smile: "You are the coach of the national team, and you have the right to build the lineup in your mind. If you have any problems, I can help you."

Vidic nodded. He has been in China for a while, and he has followed the customs of the country, and he is no longer as careless as before: "I think the atmosphere of unity in the team is very important, so there should be no unpleasant things between players. "

Mr. Yao nodded: "It's time for the team to make a change."

After 15 minutes, the players returned to the field to warm up one after another, preparing for the upcoming second half of the game.

After returning from the second half, Li Qiao also warmed up on the court. It seemed that he would continue to play in the second half.

Someone in the audience noticed that Li Qiao had returned to the lineup for the second half, and they began to look forward to it again. Everyone still wanted to see the duel between the two.

The third quarter started. Hu Xiaoxuan started to organize an attack after receiving the ball. Li Qiao took the initiative to come to the center circle to ask for the ball, ready to play singles.

The position where Li Qiao holds the ball is still half a meter away from the three-point line. Zhao Rui may not have watched Li Qiao's game video, so he did not choose to step forward to defend.

Anyone who has watched Li Qiao play knows that opening the gap from a long distance is equivalent to sending a three-pointer. If Zhao Rui does not step forward, Li Qiao is not polite.

The ball rushed towards the basket like a beautiful arc in the middle circle, and with a swish sound, it was hollowed into the net, and the three-pointer was effective. 44 to 40, the South China Tigers expanded their lead.

The fans at the scene shouted happily when they saw Li Qiao scored a goal. Zhao Rui felt uncomfortable seeing the cheering voices all over the field. These familiar fans also cheered for him last season, but it is a pity that everyone is cheering for him now. Li Qiao applauded.

The huge gap in heart made Zhao Rui a little over the top. As soon as Liu Yu passed the frontcourt, he opened his hand to ask for the ball, and Liu Yu passed the ball without saying a word.

After Zhao Rui received the ball, he directly chose to break through, and Li Qiao followed Zhao Rui's footsteps closely, protecting his chest with his left hand to prevent being hit by an elbow.

Zhao Rui didn't push Li Qiao back during the breakthrough, so he could only choose to make a quick stop and step back to make a jump shot, but under Li Qiao's interference, he missed the shot, and Zhang Tian easily took the rebound.

Hu Xiaoxuan had already run forward quickly, Zhang Tian made a long pass and sent the ball near the free throw line on the opposite side, Hu Xiaoxuan easily layup after receiving the ball, the score became 46 to 40.

The Sharks kicked off the attack. Zhao Rui passed Zhang Qiang's cover and shot Hamilton near the three-point line. As a result, the ball was a little short and bounced out of the frame again. The rebound was also picked off by Zhang Tian.

The Sharks learned a lesson this time, returning to defense quickly, and did not give the South China Tigers a chance to play a fast break.

After Hu Xiaoxuan dribbled the ball past halftime, he continued to hand the ball to Li Qiao, and then he ran to the baseline to give up the space in the center circle.

Zhao Rui squatted at the three-point line. He still didn't step forward to block Li Qiao. He didn't believe that the opponent could make consecutive long-range three-pointers.

But things were always beyond his understanding, and it was Zhao Rui's arrogance that he didn't watch Li Qiao's game video carefully, which caused him to make a serious mistake.

Li Qiao made another long-range shot. With the ball going into the net, the score became 49 to 40. Li Qiao made two consecutive three-pointers in the second half, which was also the result of Zhao Rui underestimating the enemy.

Director Li of the Sharks stood on the sidelines with a solemn face. As the team's trump card, Zhao Rui didn't want to criticize him. Instead, he took care of his face and didn't call a timeout immediately so that he could fight back in the next round.

It's a pity that after Zhao Rui took the lead, his overall competitive state was not good, especially after Li Qiao scored two three-pointers, he became more impatient, and his technical movements also appeared deformed. Soon he was in the process of catching the ball. In the middle, he didn't pay attention to his feet and was called a walking violation by the referee, which also aroused his dissatisfaction, so he began to curse.

"Beep", the referee blew his whistle immediately, and made a T gesture to Zhao Rui, calling a technical foul.

Zhao Rui got a little out of control. He chased the referee and began to reason. Wang Dalin and Zhang Qiang hurried over and pulled him back. Director Li quickly called a timeout to let the players adjust.

This game is the opening match of the national live broadcast. Zhao Rui's out-of-control behavior has also been seen by the fans all over the country. In the past, everyone may have been more tolerant of him, but with the transfer and the rise of Li Qiao, everyone is very tolerant of Zhao Rui. The above behavior is a bit disgusting.

Mr. Yao sat on the seat with his arms around him. He looked at Zhao Rui with deep disappointment in his eyes. To Zhao Rui, he has always held a tolerant attitude. In these years, every time there is a public opinion crisis, he asks for help. The purpose of conducting public relations is to provide a good environment for Zhao Rui to play with peace of mind.

But with everyone's tolerance, Zhao Rui's temper has not changed. The transfer to the Sharks alone has aroused a lot of public opinion. In the end, Mr. Yao also took the initiative to help deal with media relations.

What Vidic said just now is that Zhao Rui’s name will not appear in the new training list. Vidic has already confirmed that Li Qiao is the absolute core, so discordant voices around him will not be allowed. I hope to waste too much time dealing with internal problems. This is also the iron fist method of European coaches. Whoever is not strong enough must either be obedient or just leave.

Reporter Guan in the stands was also a little disappointed. He is a reporter who has been with the team for many years, and Zhao Rui is also a friend of his. However, regarding Zhao Rui's current performance, he knows that the door to the national team has been closed.

Li Bian also felt that Zhao Rui's behavior was a little too much, but it was not good for him to say something in front of everyone, but he had tacitly agreed that he would not conduct related interviews in the future.

Mr. Zhu also looked at the venue without saying a word. Like Mr. Yao, he was also disappointed with Zhao Rui.
