Chapter 269 Scene 3

Chapter 269 Scene Three

When Lu Ziqiu led the team out of the player tunnel, Huaxia's players had already warmed up on the court, even Jordan and Simmons were no exception. Obviously, they had begun to attach importance to the Wolves.

The audience watched them come out, and cheers and shouts immediately resounded from every corner.

The players couldn't help but clenched their fists, and finally some fans shouted for them, and finally they didn't have to listen to those annoying boos and abuse.

"Let's all go up and warm up. Remember to warm up your body as soon as possible."

With Lu Ziqiu's order, the players quickly took off their coats and went off to warm up. He himself looked at West, who looked at him with a gloomy face and then turned his head away. Communication is gone.

Lu Ziqiu doesn't care about this, and if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself. If you didn't curse people first, why would I use that method to deal with you.

Lin's father and Lin's mother, who came to Wolves to watch the game for the first time, seemed a little excited, especially Lin's father, he was overjoyed to see the fans welcome the future son-in-law so much, "Sissi, Ziqiu seems It’s very popular here too.”

Lin Qian smiled and did not answer.

Diana couldn't hide her words, "Uncle, you're thinking too much. They don't welcome my brother. The treatment my brother receives here is far worse than that in Los Angeles."

Father Lin was stunned, "What's going on? Isn't he also a member of the team?"

Lin Qian was afraid that Diana would make a mistake, so she rushed to reply: "Dad, it's not what you imagined, and every team is the same, the first to be welcomed must be the players, and Ziqiu is actually very respected of."

Diana was dissatisfied with her answer, but she could guess Lin Qian's intentions, so she restrained herself and didn't speak again.

Lin's father was also relieved after hearing Lin Qian's explanation, "That's right, that's the truth. Most of the coaches really live behind the spotlight."

Mother Lin couldn't help giving him a blank look, "Don't worry about these things, just watch the game carefully?"

Father Lin smiled awkwardly and did not continue the discussion.

West still refused to be interviewed by reporters, while Lu Ziqiu was still talking and laughing with reporters. Some reporters even asked him jokingly, "Coach Lu, did you also wear earphones for this game?"

Lu Ziqiu laughed and said, "If you still have to wear earphones at home, wouldn't you just admit defeat?"

The reporters laughed when they heard the words, and the two sides chatted and laughed for a few more words before gradually getting into the topic. The main question was whether he had the confidence to win the game, etc. Lu Ziqiu dealt with it half-truthfully, but it was the same as before. In comparison, it is very cooperative.

However, as long as he asks questions about Huaxia or West, he will definitely ridicule him, and sometimes his words are too blunt, even reporters are not easy to answer.

After accepting the interview and returning to the coaching bench, Lu Ziqiu began to close his eyes and meditate. He didn't get up until the debut ceremony was held on the spot.

In this game, Lu Ziqiu used Wei Meng to replace Lan Feng in the starting line-up. At the same time, he gave up the full-court press and used Luo Mang to mark Jordan. At the same time, he asked other players to double-team Jordan at any cost and put the other four points, even if he was beaten by others. It doesn't matter if you wear it.

After hearing this, Lu Wei had some doubts, "Coach, if Simmons goes crazy, it should not be underestimated."

"It's okay, once Simmons goes crazy, we will use foul tactics and send him to the free throw line."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. That's right, didn't they always use this method when they won the playoffs last season?Simmons only hits more than [-]% of his free throws. If physical confrontation is added, he may not even be able to keep [-]%.

In this way, Lu Wei is completely relieved, as long as the coach does not ignore Simmons.

As for the offensive end, Lu Ziqiu asked Wei Meng to come out for a pick-and-roll, and Lu Qian and Luo Mang would attack the inside line, while Han Bin would act as a checkpoint, increase his running as much as possible, and run around with Jordan, who was facing him, with Han Bin's current Huaxia dare not let him go at all, and except for Jordan and Simmons, no one else can limit him at all.

As for Lin Sen, Lu Ziqiu still asked him to compete with Simmons, and no matter what method he used, as long as it made Simmons uncomfortable.

In the end, he emphasized, "If Huaxia has no intention of hurting others, you should stop intentionally hurting others with your elbows. Of course, you can do whatever you want with trash talk."

No one has an opinion on this point, but Lu Qian asked again: "What if they still intentionally hurt people?"

Lu Ziqiu's eyes flashed, "Then I allow you to hit someone, even if you are suspended, I will accept it. If it is a ticket, I will pay it for you."

"Okay, I'll just wait for your words."

Lin Sen was extremely envious, "What about us?"

"None of you can do anything. As long as you don't cause group fights, even the ban is limited. If they cause group fights, it's hard to say, but if they have the intention to hurt others, I allow you to use any means, as long as they don't get caught. The referee can catch it."

Lin Sen was a little reluctant after listening, but reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Lu Qian patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Don't worry, if that happens, I promise to beat them until they feel good. If I suspend them, they will definitely suspend more people."

"You just have to be smug." Lin Sen shook his hand angrily.

The whistle sounded at this moment, and Lu Ziqiu said no more, "Okay, let's all go up, get rid of distracting thoughts, and just play the game seriously. I must win this game no matter what."

As for Huaxia, due to the lack of Lin Dong and Dai Jin, the formation of troops is in trouble, especially the rotation lineup. Originally, their substitute players this season are not strong. fragile.

However, West is still full. After all, he still has Jordan and Simmons in his hands. As long as these two can be opened, in his opinion, it is still no problem to win the Wolves, but confidence is confidence. He is still very cautious, especially in view of the possibility of Jordan being double-teamed and making changes.

Ask him to change his usual way of playing, and mention more high positions for Simmons to pick and roll, and then catch the ball and attack after the pick.

At the same time, he also asked Simmons to increase his breakthrough and hit the basket. With his height and speed, the Wolves can't defend against anyone except Luo Mang.

After coming on the field, Luo Mang was still the first to grab the ball in the scrum.

After Lin Sen got the ball, he saw that his teammates had no chance, so he gave up the plan of a fast break, and dribbled the ball steadily across the half court before organizing.

According to Lu Ziqiu's arrangement, Wei Meng ran out ahead of time to cover Lin Sen's pick-and-roll, and Fan En had to follow. In this way, without Fan En's protection, the basket was almost dominated by Luo Mang and Lu Qian.

So Lin Sen didn't pass the ball to Wei Meng, but passed the ball to Luo Mang who was in a good position after swinging the angle. After coming out, he took off and dunked in one step, easily scoring two points.

The players defending him smiled wryly. Whether it was strength or footwork, he was no match for Luo Mang. If he could not judge the direction of the opponent's turn in advance, he would have no way to defend.
