Chapter 247 Passive

Lu Ziqiu started to change players again, replacing Lin Sen with Hayes, and Wei Meng who had no chance to perform with Gao Jun. In this way, the offensive tactics changed again, and Han Bin and Lu Qian played singles with the ball behind them.

The defense was changed to a zone defense, limiting Red Bull's breakthrough and allowing them to shoot long shots.

Lin Sen was a little dissatisfied, "Old Lu, I feel so good today, why did you replace me so quickly?"

"Because you have to come down, the other party just let you go on purpose. With your character, you will float away in a while."

Lin Sen laughed awkwardly, and didn't know how to answer, because he was already a little drifting just now, and if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely start to lose his shots in a while, but after thinking about it, he felt wrong, "They knew my It feels so good, do you dare to let me go next?"

Lu Ziqiu said firmly: "Yes, Bruno is very stubborn. Since he is sure, he will definitely carry out the entire series, but they will increase the physical confrontation with you appropriately. Once your physical fitness drops, do you think you can still guarantee the hit rate? At that time, you found that your shooting percentage was not good and you wanted to pass it to others. How could they feel? So Bruno’s tactic is very targeted, and we must be cautious.”

Naturally, no one doubted Lu Ziqiu's judgment. After three seasons, his on-the-spot command ability had already made them all admire him.

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

Seeing Lu Ziqiu replacing Lin Sen, Bruno couldn't help turning his head to look at Lu Ziqiu again. Does this kid have the ability to predict?Or is it just a coincidence?But it doesn't matter, I don't believe that you haven't been to Linsen all this time.

He doesn't dare to let go of any Wolves players, not even Luo Mang, who has the worst offensive skills. His three-point shooting percentage is too high, and he dare not let it go.

But having said that, Hayes' weakness is that he can't break through with the ball, so he reminded Kuhn to strengthen his pressure on Hayes.

"Why did Coach Lu replace Lin Sen?" Luo Chen in the commentary suddenly exclaimed after seeing the lineup on the field.

"I don't know. Logically speaking, Lin Sen shouldn't be replaced. He is in a very good state today." Caesar was also confused.

If it was changed to before, they would definitely push him endlessly, but now they don't dare to comment on Lu Ziqiu's replacement indiscriminately, after all, they have been slapped in the face too many times.

Although the Wolves have adopted a zone defense, Red Bull's players are very experienced in breaking the zone defense, and except for center Horn, the other four of them have a relatively stable mid-range shooting percentage.

After several rounds, Red Bull successfully broke through their zone defense and scored easily.

Seeing that the effect of the zone defense was much worse than the previous man-to-man defense, Luo Chen was puzzled again, "It seems that Red Bull is not afraid of our zone defense."

Caesar nodded, "Their players are too accurate in mid-range and long-range shots. It will be dangerous to continue playing like this, but I think Coach Yilu's ability should change his defensive strategy soon."

"But having said that, Red Bull has nothing to do with our offense, and then it depends on whose hit is higher."

"This is indeed the truth, but I still think Coach Lu will change his strategy, because Red Bull will definitely change too, it depends on who can take the initiative."

However, they all guessed wrong. In the rest of the first quarter, both sides changed players frequently, but no one's defensive strategy changed. However, in the last 2 minutes, both sides had substitutes, so the shooting rate began to drop.

At the end of the first quarter, the Wolves temporarily led by 28:25.

During the break between festivals, Lu Ziqiu changed players again, and the five players on the field became Luo Mang, Lin Sen, Luo Peng, Lu Wei and Xiao Zhi. As soon as this lineup came out, the eyes of the players suddenly lit up, because it was about to launch a full-court press up.

Sure enough, Lu Ziqiu arranged the lineup and said: "According to Bruno's substitution method in the first quarter, after the start of the second quarter, he will definitely use Louis and Horn to lead the rotation lineup. In this way, Red Bull's offense will completely revolve around Luis." Let’s carry it out, so Xiaozhi, I will leave Louis to you.” As for how to do it, there is no need to tell me any more.

Xiaozhi nodded, he understood what his mission was, and that was to try his best to never let Louis play comfortably.

"Once we fall into the position, we will switch to the zone defense. Remember, let's throw and not let go." After telling these, Lu Ziqiu didn't say any more, "Let's take a rest, the game is about to start."

The players dispersed, and George brought a bottle of water to Lu Ziqiu, "Actually, I don't understand, why didn't you start to consume the physical energy of Louis and Wilson at the beginning?"

Lu Ziqiu thanked him and took it, took a sip of water before explaining: "Although Bruno is stubborn, he is not stupid. If I target the two of them like before, it will definitely not be of much use, let alone both of them are Experienced veterans, they didn't try their best during the regular season, but in the playoffs, it will not be so easy."

"Then why are you using Xiaozhi to target Louis again?"

"It's just a phase. With Xiaozhi's current ability, he can pose a threat to Louis in the regular season, and he will definitely be fouled by Louis in the playoffs."

"Are you letting him get used to it first?"

"That's right, Xiaozhi is very useful, especially against China, so he must learn how to defend stars in the playoffs."

George pondered for a while before nodding, but he couldn't help sighing, "If Xiaozhi and Luo Mang can improve their offensive capabilities, we won't be afraid of Huaxia."

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly, "Now I am not afraid of Huaxia."

George was taken aback, "That's right, we were able to fight like Huaxia last season. With our strength this season, if we really fight together, Huaxia may not be able to fight us."

When the time is up, the game continues.

As soon as Bruno saw Xiaozhi play, he was immediately happy. In such an important playoff game, Lu Ziqiu dared to send Xiaozhi, who had no independent offensive ability, to the outside line. He was digging his own grave.

The corners of Louis' mouth were also slightly raised, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Ziqiu on the sidelines. Do you think it's still the regular season?It's ridiculous.

The Wolves lineup focuses on switching. In positional battles, once Xiaozhi is released, it is basically 4v5. Fortunately, Lu Wei and Luo Peng are two offensive strengths on the court, so it is not too difficult. Too bad.

But once he switched to defense, Xiaozhi's inexperienced shortcomings were completely exposed. Not only was he completely helpless against Louis, but he was fouled repeatedly. In just 3 minutes, he was caught three fouls by Louis.

In other words, during this period of time, he was basically useless on the field except for consuming a little of Louis' physical energy.

With such a performance, everyone on the scene scratched their heads and scratched their heads anxiously, but Lu Ziqiu was indifferent. Even if the score was overtaken, he still had no intention of replacing Xiaozhi.
