Chapter 273 Difficult to win
After the start of the second half, Huaxia once again set off a wave of counterattacks, especially Jordan, no one in the Wolves could restrain him.
Lu Ziqiu simply let him go, locked the other four players, and asked the players to continue attacking the inside line. After less than 3 minutes of playing, Fan En couldn't dodge again and fouled Han Bin. After accumulating five fouls, he had to end again.
Without his inside support, Huaxia's inside line was ravaged again, and the two sides gradually became angry, and once again they fought on their backs.
At the end of the third quarter, the Wolves still led by 5 points.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, West first let Jordan rest off the court, and Simmons led the team first.
Lu Ziqiu re-appointed Xiaozhi and continued to use him to entangle Simmons, while Lin Sen, who had gotten enough rest, began to explode. After hitting two consecutive three-pointers and a one-shot throw, he stopped Huaxia again.
After the timeout, Jordan continued to appear.
But the effect of his debut this time is far worse than in the third quarter, because the Wolves changed their defensive strategy. As long as he gets the ball, he will be double-teamed, and other players are also ready to help defend at any time.
In this way, Jordan played extremely hard, and Simmons was entangled with physical exhaustion. Although the other substitute players had occasional flashes, their scoring did not have continuity, so they played half a quarter and were still 11 points behind the Wolves.
West had to call a timeout again. After the timeout came back, Huaxia replaced the ball-handling organization and liberated Simmons. Once he was released, he continued to attack the Wolves' basket. Then double-team Jordan all the time.
In this way, Jordan and Simmons opened up completely, and it was no problem for Jordan to open and score, while Simmons regained his touch again, hitting two three-pointers in a row to stop the Wolves.
Seeing that the 11-point lead was reduced to 4 points in a blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the arena became depressing again, and the cheers and cheers like a tsunami disappeared.
"Coach, let me go." Lan Feng rushed to Lu Ziqiu immediately, and challenged him again.
"Okay, you get ready to play, but you must protect yourself and don't get hurt again." At this point, he can only go to Lan Feng, otherwise he will be pushed down by Jordan and Simmons in this way. The game is really dangerous.
"Don't worry, with me here, none of them can easily score under the basket." Lan Feng held back for a while, and finally got the chance, and the battle was raging in his heart.
Lu Ziqiu nodded, adjusted the lineup, went to Lan Feng, Lu Qian, Han Bin, Luo Peng, and Lin Sen, "Lin Sen, your most important task next is to disrupt Simmons' rhythm, and you can't let him score easily again." .”
"Okay." Lin Sen clenched his fists. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he knew it well.
"Han Bin, let you lead the offense, and everyone else will help him pick and roll. After the pick and roll, Lan Feng and Lu Qian, you all go down, Luo Peng, Lin Sen, you all retreat to the three-point line."
In the next game, Simmons was completely disrupted by Lin Sen. Once he had a chance to score, Lin Sen would definitely foul.
Although in this way, Simmons got a lot of serving opportunities, but he himself is not good at free throws, and his hit rate is even worse under the huge physical exertion.
With Lan Feng, defensive rebounds are guaranteed. Once he grabs a rebound, he will definitely launch a fast break immediately.
In the last 2 minutes of the game, it completely became a battle between Han Bin and Jordan. The two tried their best, and various offensive methods emerged one after another.
In the end, Jordan gradually fell into a disadvantage due to excessive physical consumption. As a result, Huaxia completely lost the possibility of winning the game.
But even so, the audience kept holding back until the final whistle sounded, confirming that the team had won the game, and the atmosphere in the arena was completely ignited.
West still did not shake hands with Lu Ziqiu, and led his team members away with a gloomy face. No one from Huaxia attended the post-match press conference.
Lu Ziqiu simply asked Lin Sen and Lu Qian to attend by themselves. At the press conference, a reporter asked about Luo Mang's injury, and the two of them were annoyed.
Back in the locker room, Lu Ziqiu immediately asked the team doctor about Luo Peng's injury. The team doctor smiled wryly and shook his head, "There is no bone injury, but at present his wrist is completely unable to exert force, even if he can play, he will not be able to perform at all."
"How long will it take to recover?"
"I will give him acupuncture and moxibustion every day, and within a week at the latest, he will definitely recover completely."
Hearing this, Lu Ziqiu felt relieved. It doesn't matter if he can't make it to the fourth game, as long as he can come back in time for the fifth game.
Just when he was going to communicate with Luo Mang, Xia Hongfei brought the shareholders over again. After they arrived, they first praised the performance of the players, and then they cared about Luo Mang's injury. Facing them, Luo Mang's attitude seemed very serious. He was blunt, and even if he answered, he never exceeded three words.
At this moment, Xia Kexin also came over, but before she had time to say hello to everyone, Xia Hongfei pulled her out of the dressing room.
Xia Kexin was a little puzzled, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Xia Hongfei looked around and asked in a low voice when he found no one was there, "Do you know why Ziqiu resigned?"
Xia Kexin suddenly realized that it was because of this matter, but there was no need to be in a hurry at this moment.
But after thinking about it, he felt that his father probably wanted to persuade Lu Ziqiu not to leave, so he smiled wryly, "Don't count on him, he won't stay anymore."
"I'm not talking about that, I'm asking if you know where you're going after you leave."
Xia Kexin was taken aback, "Where is going?"
Xia Hongfei saw that his daughter was still unable to understand, so he simply said what was in his heart. After hearing this, Xia Kexin was silent for a long time before looking up at him. She was completely disappointed with the thoughts of her father and the board of directors, "What are you all thinking about?" Woolen cloth?"
"Is it hard to be surprised? The contracts of Lan Feng and others are player options next season. Once he goes to coach other teams, based on his relationship with those players, it's no wonder they don't choose to jump out of the contract and go to defect."
"People never thought of coaching other teams."
Xia Hongfei was taken aback, "So you know the reason?"
"Anyway, you can rest assured that he will never do anything that harms the team." Xia Kexin didn't bother to explain, and turned back to the locker room after saying that.
But Xia Hongfei stopped him before he left, "No matter what he tells you, we have to guard against it. Don't blame us for being narrow-minded. After all, we know people and face but don't know the heart."
"He has been working here for three years, and in the end he just got what you said?" At this point, Xia Kexin couldn't hold back her anger, "Dad, do you think it's appropriate to say that?"
Xia Hongfei frowned twice, "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future."
"Hehe." Xia Kexin didn't bother to say anything more to him, she shook off his hand and turned around to leave. At this moment, she felt completely worthless for Lu Ziqiu's efforts in the past three years, and finally understood why Diana would not wait so much Meet the father and the board.
