Chapter 252 Making Changes

That afternoon, Xia Hongfei called Lu Ziqiu back and asked him to go back to the club for a meeting, but Lu Ziqiu didn't immediately agree, "I won't participate if we talk about the endorsement. I don't have much energy recently, please forgive me."

"Ziqiu, what do you mean?"

"Chairman, I've made my point very clear. It's okay to help them shoot endorsement commercials, but you have to wait until the end of the season. Don't talk about anything else. Don't tell me that the shooting time is very short. For us now , even a second is wasted."

"But they agreed to shoot separately, half a day each time, and the shooting time can be after the game, which will never affect our game."

"They only have half a day to rest after each game. After the rest, they have to do recovery training and tactical training. Do you think there is a lot of time?"

"This..." Xia Hongfei was speechless for a moment. The endorsement money was nothing to him, but it was very important to the future of the team. Exposure, no extra income, if he can sign a contract with the sporting goods company, at least he will not have to worry about these in the future, because he can completely give all the expenses to the players.

"I'm sorry, chairman, I still need to train. If I understand, I won't participate. As for the endorsement advertisement, unless the time can be changed, I will never agree."

Xia Hongfei smiled wryly, "Okay, we will communicate about this matter, you go to training."

"it is good."

George smiled wryly and sighed, "You, is it difficult to deal with it?"

"I also said these things when I went there, what's the point?"

"But it's better than saying no directly on the phone."

Lu Ziqiu smiled wryly, "Actually, I guessed what Xia Hongfei was thinking. He thought that he would attract football stars after accepting an endorsement advertisement. In fact, he was wrong. This kind of collective endorsement advertisement is not very attractive at all."

"You are just a muscle."

"Coach, don't you know what kind of personality I am?"

George smiled wryly and shook his head, "People should grow up, it's hard for someone like you to work with you."

"But having said that, anyone who can work with me has become my good friend. What's more, what I need is a group of like-minded people. As for other people, they can do whatever they want, and I don't bother to care about it at all."

George was completely speechless. He knew that it would be useless to say anything. If he wanted to make him change, he could only pin his hopes on Lin Qian.

After training, the players proposed to go to Lu Ziqiu's house for a barbecue. Lu Ziqiu smiled and agreed, "Yes, but you can't drink alcohol recently."

The players laughed and agreed.

As for how the conversation with Xia Hongfei was going, Lu Ziqiu didn't know about it, because no one had informed him, so he didn't even bother to ask.

In a blink of an eye, the second game arrived.

When shaking hands before the start of the game, Bruno was still full of confidence. Although he lost the first game, it had no effect on him and the team. As long as this game can be played, they can still take the initiative.

However, compared to before, the two didn't talk much this time, they just chatted a few words before going back to their own half.

But what surprised Lu Ziqiu was that Mao Xiaotong and Yao Jing also came to this game, sitting in the second row of the auditorium.

She was still wearing a hat and a mask, and when she saw Lu Ziqiu's eyes, she took off the mask, greeted him with a slight smile, and then put it back on.

Lu Ziqiu also nodded slightly and walked back to the coach's bench.

In this game, Red Bull's starting lineup has not changed, and the defensive tactics have not changed much. They still lock up the others and release Lin Sen. Bruno doesn't believe that Lin Sen has such a good touch every game.

But in view of the fact that he suffered a lot from the inside in the previous game, he emphasized on asking the players to shrink their defense, especially Lu Qian. Once he fell into the low position and got the ball, he would resolutely double-team him and force him to pass the ball.

The offensive side has changed a lot. Instead of letting Louis hold the ball, Lennarn mentioned the high position to support.

As for Wilson, Horn and Kuon are required to cover for him, so that he also reduces the attack with the ball and increases the mid-range shot.

For the Wolves, the starting lineup has also remained the same, but Lu Ziqiu asked Han Bin to mention receiving the ball from the outside, increase breakthroughs, and reduce backs. Instead of hitting back, ask him to rush up and attack the inside.

Lu Qian was very puzzled by this request. At present, his biggest threat is to sink into the inside line and fight back. If he rushes up, he is not fast, and it is easy to be blocked by the opponent to break through the line, but he does not know how to deal with it.

"Old Lu, if you arrange it this way, all my advantages will be lost."

Lu Ziqiu nodded and said: "That's right, but as long as you sink into the inside request, the opponent will definitely flank you. Since Bruno arranged this way, he will definitely choose to block your passing route. In this way, your mistakes will inevitably increase. "

"Then you mean to let me go inside them?"

"That's right, even if you're carrying someone, you have to kill me. With your weight, Louis can't carry you at all, and Leonard can't keep up with you."

With this style of play, the hit rate is definitely not as good as playing with your back on your back, but soon Lu Qian understood what was going on, "You mean you want me to make a foul?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, I see."

"What about me?" Lin Sen saw that he hadn't given instructions to him for a long time, how could he bear it with his impatience?

"Bruno will probably still let you go. If that's the case, then you should hand the ball to Han Bin, and at the same time help him pick and roll. After the pick and roll, stay on the outside. If the opponent doesn't take strict precautions against you, you choose long shots. Reduce energy consumption."

"Okay, no problem." If he reduces holding the ball and focuses on shooting three-pointers, his shooting percentage will definitely increase by about three percentage points.

"Lan Feng, Luo Mang, after the opening game, you don't need to come out to cover, but to occupy both sides of the opponent's three-second zone. If Han Bin or Lu Qian rush in, they must help defend. You must be prepared to take the ball and take the ball. When you get the ball, kill it, don't hide, don't use the hook, even if you get caught, it doesn't matter."

It is still a foul-making tactic.

The two nodded heavily. They fought like this before, and they will be more comfortable in this fight. Of course, the opponent's defense will be tighter, but it doesn't matter, they believe in Lu Ziqiu's arrangement.

Han Bin asked: "What about defense?"

"Still using the combination of zone defense and man-marking. If Bruno wants to liberate Louis and Wilson, he will definitely let them increase their running and reduce their possession of the ball. Since Louis does not have the ball in his hands and his shooting percentage is not high, we will let him shoot. , As for Wilson and Kuhn, just pay attention to interfering with their shots."

"Where's Leonard?"

"Leonarn is nothing to worry about. I guess Bruno should ask him to come out and support the ball, so we have to be careful about his passing. As for shooting, outside the free throw line, let him shoot, as long as there is interference."

Although Lennarn also has the coping ability, he can't compare with Lewis at all. As for the breakthrough, it is impossible for him to make a breakthrough, and his shooting percentage from the free throw line is not high.
