Chapter 281 Winning or losing in this battle

Xia Hongfei knew that Thomas was going to Yancheng, so he went to plead guilty on the same day.

Although he has a little more foresight, but he is slick and slick. If Thomas dared to come to Yancheng in a fair manner, then his own suspicions would never exist. If so, he had no choice but to plead guilty.

Although Thomas was angry, he forgave him under Li Hui's persuasion, but he still didn't forget to teach him a lesson, "You are good at everything, but you have too many thoughts. If it weren't for our old friends for many years, I wouldn't kill you." Mouths are weird."

Xia Hongfei was ashamed to be the first, so he kept smiling when he said a few more words. When he was sure that Thomas had calmed down completely, he invited Thomas and Li Hui to dinner, and at the same time invited his wife and children.

Naturally, Lu Ziqiu didn't go. He was now fully focused on the game. Although Tianwangshan won, the sixth game was still difficult.

While eating dinner, Diana came suddenly angrily, and said angrily as soon as she entered the door: "I really don't know what the league is for. Simmons did something at that time, and he was not suspended."

"Go find Xia Hongfei tomorrow morning and ask him to protest to the alliance. At the same time, tell the public relations department to hold a press conference immediately to put pressure on the alliance."

"Does it work?"

Lu Ziqiu nodded, "Although Simmons will not be suspended because of this, it is still useful. At least the referees dare not mess around in the sixth game."

"That's our home court. Does the referee dare to favor Huaxia?"

"Why not? Their team has three superstars and what do we have?"

"So what about the three superstars? Didn't they get beaten by us?"

"It's different. The three of them are the guarantee of ratings. The league is not a philanthropist. They also want to make money."

Diana gritted her teeth, "Okay, I'll do it tomorrow morning, but if it's useless, what should we do then?"

Lu Ziqiu smiled and pulled her to sit down, "Don't think too much, the league has a little understanding of what kind of person I am, besides, this is a nationwide live broadcast game, even if they want to support Huaxia, they dare not show it blatantly."

Since he was not worried, Diana was also at ease.

Lin Qian helped Diana serve a bowl of soup, and then she looked at Lu Ziqiu and asked, "Why don't you go and have dinner with Thomas and Li Hui?"

"No, I don't have so much need to be polite with them."

"But people come all the way from thousands of miles to watch your game, you are like this"

Before she could finish speaking, Diana rushed to say: "I met Kexin when I came here, and their family went there. With that stupid woman Bai Yufei here, what else is my brother going to do?"

"What's going on?" Lin's father was only focused on eating, but Lin's mother was careful, and felt something was wrong when she heard Diana's tone.

"It's nothing, Mom." Lu Ziqiu didn't want to mention Bai Yufei's matter again, but Diana couldn't hold back his words. Before his words fell, Diana had already told everything about Bai Yufei like a few treasures.

After hearing this, Mother Lin was very angry, "Such a woman is so stupid. If I were to quit, why would I help them fight for the championship? Ziqiu, as I say, you just lose the game on purpose." never mind."

"Nonsense." Lin's father put down the bowl and chopsticks abruptly, "Some people have been engaged in basketball for a lifetime without winning a championship, and finally retired with regret. How can Ziqiu give up such a good opportunity so easily now? Do you also want him to leave with regrets?"

Mother Lin glared at him, "Why are you so excited? I'm just complaining casually. Do you really think I'll tell Ziqiu to give up?"

"Okay, okay, these are all in the past, and there's no point in arguing, anyway, Ziqiu will leave after this season, and it doesn't matter to us what they do in the future." Lin Qian was afraid that her parents would quarrel, and hurriedly Come out to smooth things over.

Lu Ziqiu kicked Diana angrily, "You talk too much, why don't you eat?"

Diana pouted before drinking the soup sullenly.

After teaching Diana, Lu Ziqiu went to persuade Lin's father and Lin's mother. Lin's mother was very talkative and did not continue to argue with her husband. Lin's father said earnestly, "Ziqiu, you must not listen to your mother."

Lu Ziqiu coughed twice in embarrassment, "Mom just said it casually just now, Dad, you don't have to worry, I know what I should do."

"Well, it's good to know, we are all looking forward to your cup."

"Okay, I'll do my best."

At this point, they stopped talking about basketball.

Early the next morning, Lu Ziqiu went to the arena, leaving all the rest of the work to Diana. Diana did not disappoint him and did everything in an orderly manner.

In a blink of an eye, the sixth game came, and this game attracted countless attention from all over the country, because everyone wanted to know whether the Wolves could pull Huaxia down. After all, they had been the boss for too long, and many people hoped There is a new championship born.

Lu Ziqiu also understands that if he can't win this game, once he enters the tiebreaker, he will play away games, all factors combined, the hope of winning will be very slim, especially the referee factor, which is the biggest problem.

In this game, Lu Ziqiu did not deploy full-court pressing tactics at the beginning of the game. Instead, he chose to expand man-to-man defense in the half court, try to compress the rhythm of the game, and increase physical confrontation. At the same time, he also used Lu Qian to start this game. Let Lu Qian take the initiative to find Qiao Deng, while the others pull away.

The purpose of doing this is to use Lu Qian's back punch to consume Jordan's physical energy as quickly as possible.

On the defensive end, he continued to use Luo Mang to deal with Jordan, Lu Qian to deal with Lin Dong, Han Bin to defend Dai Jin, and Lin Sen to defend Simmons while releasing Simmons to lock up the others as much as possible. Huaxia added pick-and-roll tactics.

As soon as the game started, the two sides entered into hand-to-hand combat. The strong muscle collision made the audience on the scene and in front of the TV very happy. Under such a high-intensity confrontation, the hit rate of both sides was not high.

But the worst performer was Lu Qian. He put too much pressure on himself, so when he backed up Jordan, although he had the physical advantage, once he was double-teamed, he would pass the ball too late or choose to attack.

However, Huaxia caught mistakes and fought back, so the Wolves fell into a very passive situation. At this difficult moment, Lu Wei, who was ordered in danger, played a key role and played his best game of the season. Without Jordan, the offensive end is even more overwhelming, and he repeatedly hits long-range shots.

In the second quarter, Han Bin broke out completely. His fadeaway jumper suddenly regained his touch. As a result, Lu Ziqiu asked the whole team to give him a pick and roll, so that he could play more easily. Unstoppable, throughout the second quarter, he scored 23 points alone.

But even so, the score between the two sides is still stalemate, because Huaxia's whole team is also picking and rolling for Jordan, Jordan also got rid of Luo Mang, and thus broke out completely. In a single game, he also scored 20 points.
