Chapter 276

In a blink of an eye, the battle of Tianwang Mountain came.

In the locker room of the Wolves team, Lu Ziqiu was about to let everyone go out to warm up, but the phone message rang suddenly. He frowned before opening it, but he was startled when he saw it, because the message was sent by Li Hui. He said: Thomas and I are here After the game, let's get together.

Seeing him staring blankly at the phone, George couldn't help being a little surprised, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Ziqiu handed him the information with a wry smile, and George couldn't help but sigh after reading it, "What are they doing?"

"I don't know. With the personalities of the two of them, they will never come here for no reason."

"Do they know that you are going to retire after this season?" In his opinion, if they don't know, there is only one possibility, which is to come to Lu Ziqiu to talk about coaching in Agni.

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, but didn't continue to answer the question, "Leave them alone for now, and we'll talk about it after we finish this game."

"That's right." Thinking about it, anyway, after meeting them after the game, you will basically know what's going on, so there's no need to worry about it.

Lu Ziqiu didn't say much anymore, he just replied a message to Li Hui, turned his mobile phone to silent and put it in the closet, before letting all the players go out to warm up.

Maybe it was the media reports that played a role, or maybe the league's punishment played a role. In short, when they entered the arena this time, the audience seemed much calmer. Although they still booed constantly, they didn't stop cursing.

The Huaxia team entered the field earlier than them, and their players had already started warming up on the field. As for West, he did not show up.

When media reporters saw Lu Ziqiu coming out, they immediately surrounded him. Some reporters asked him how the team is doing now, whether the wounded have recovered, etc. Lu Ziqiu still answered very cooperatively. As for the question about Huaxia Club, Lu Ziqiu remained the same Sneering and sarcastic, he would not be polite to this unsportsmanlike player.

After the interview, the reporters withdrew, and George, who was beside him, couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the fans?"

"So what if you are dissatisfied? Anyway, the result will be the same whether you say it or not. It's better to be happy, especially for Wester. If he doesn't put pressure on him, then maybe he will make some bad moves."

"You mean he might let his players intentionally injure someone?"

"It's hard to say, but now that the media across the country are staring at them, he should be afraid to come to think of it."

"I hope so."

Lu Ziqiu took a deep breath, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled him to go back first. He looked around the arena for a week, but he couldn't see Thomas and Li Hui. They probably hid in the corner to avoid trouble. .

In the top corner of the auditorium, Li Hui and Thomas wore hats that covered more than half of their faces.

Lu Ziqiu couldn't see them, but they could see them on the big screen. Seeing him looking around, Li Hui couldn't help laughing, "That kid is looking for us."

Thomas just smiled and nodded, "The game hasn't started yet, let's go out and smoke a cigarette first."

Seeing him standing there looking around, Xia Kexin was a little astonished, and quickly asked George in a low voice, "What is he looking at there?"

"I don't know." George hesitated for a while and shook his head. Regarding the fact that Thomas came to find Lu Ziqiu, he thought it was better not to let Xia Kexin know as much as possible, lest she have any thoughts in her heart.

Although Xia Kexin had doubts, she didn't think much about it. Besides, Lu Ziqiu had already returned, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After that, the game begins.

The Huaxia team is still starting with five iron players. On the Wolves side, Luo Mang and Lan Feng both returned in time, so naturally they did not fall behind. However, Lu Qian was placed on the bench by Lu Ziqiu, and Xiao Zhi replaced him in the starting lineup. With this arrangement, The purpose is already very clear, that is to let Xiaozhi get entangled with Simmons at the beginning.

But for Jordan, he handed it over to Lin Sen to play against him. Lin Sen will definitely not be able to guard him, but Jordan will definitely not be easy when facing him. After all, he has to keep confronting him. affected.

But if he is wrong, Lin Sen can definitely make him doubt his life.

Luo Mang went to defend Lin Dong. With him around, Lin Dong would never be arrogant.

Han Bin is facing Dai Jin. He has a disadvantage in height and weight, but he has an advantage in speed. He just needs to pinch Dai Jin's line to break through with the ball. Just interfere.

Players from both sides looked at each other disliked after they came on the court, and Lin Sen and others even started to complain before the game started.

The Huaxia players changed their previous style and did not show any weakness. They thought that this would not weaken their morale, but they didn't know that the more they were like this, the more unfavorable they were.

Luo Mang, wearing a wristband, stood in the middle circle and fought for the ball with Fann. Fann glanced at his wrist and twitched his mouth, "Be careful and hurt again."

"Be careful with yourself, Lan Feng won't let a softie like you go."

Mentioning Lan Feng, Fan En's eyes twitched. After being a teammate for two years, he knew exactly what kind of person Lan Feng was. In this league, the last player he wanted to meet was Lan Feng.

"Scared?" Luo Mang raised his eyes.

"Am I afraid of him?" Fann showed no sign of weakness.

"Then I wish you good luck." Hua Luo turned his head to look at Lin Dong, with a slight flicker in his eyes.

Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended not to know that there was still a shadow in his heart when Luo Mang punched him back then.

The referee came over with the ball, glanced at the players on both sides, and said something that needed their attention, and then blew the whistle to start the game.

For the jump ball, Luo Mang's reaction was obviously better, and he successfully helped the team win the ball again, but the first attack failed under Huaxia's defense.

But after switching to defense, they immediately launched a full-court press. At the same time, as soon as the opponent's players stopped, they immediately increased physical confrontation.

Full court press?

Hmph, let's see how long you can last.

West turned his head and glanced at Lu Ziqiu with disdain, and Lu Ziqiu just turned his head, and the two of them just exchanged glances and turned their heads at the same time.

Fann, who grabbed the rebound, struggled to avoid the harassing Lan Feng, and passed the ball to Jordan, who came to meet him. Jordan wanted to give the ball to Simmons, but Simmons did not have a good space to receive the ball, so he had to Under the circumstances, he can only dribble the ball by himself.

Lin Sen has been hanging on to him, and from time to time he also makes sneak attacks. Although Jordan is not a point guard, he can dribble well. It is almost impossible for Lin Sen to steal him under such circumstances, but it doesn't matter, the goal has been achieved.

Because in the preparation meeting before the game, Lu Ziqiu's arrangement was to let Jordan dribble as much as possible and let Simmons catch the ball as little as possible, because Jordan was the only one who played well off the ball in Huaxia, and everyone else was just average.

Especially Simmons, once he doesn't have the ball, his shooting is unstable, which is almost equivalent to wasting half of his skills. As for Jordan, once he dribbles and breaks through too much, his physical energy will be consumed. must be affected.

This is one of the suggestions that Mike brought to Lu Ziqiu, forcing Jordan to take more balls.

After halftime, Jordan wanted to pass the ball, so he looked up to see his teammates running. At this point, Lin Sen suddenly spotted the ball and almost flew out, and accurately hugged his ball into his arms. Jordan was surprised , also busy bending down to grab.

Seeing this, the other players rushed over one after another, and they were thrown into chaos for a while.

The referee's whistle sounded and a free ball was awarded, but in this way, Huaxia also made a mistake. After all, the ball was returned to the Wolves again.
