Chapter 160 Punishment Results

Chapter 160 Punishment Results

Diana took Li Minghui out early the next morning.

Lu Ziqiu was bored at home alone, so he went to find George and went to the arena with him.

Originally, I had a rest in the morning, but after arriving at the arena, I unexpectedly heard talking and laughing in the gym.

The two went over to see, but the players consciously came to practice.

Lu Ziqiu greeted them with a smile, and encouraged them before leaving.

After a while, Xia Kexin came over and was surprised to see Lu Ziqiu there, "Why did you come here suddenly today?"

Lu Ziqiu asked with a wry smile: "Is it strange that I came here?" But after thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing again, because he just realized now that he really rarely comes here, and the usual training is basically handed over to the assistant coach to follow up.

Xia Kexin gave him an angry look, "By the way, have you read the news?"

"What's so interesting? It's all about that."

The three chatted for a while, and when the players came out of practice, Lu Ziqiu asked them who wanted to single out three points on a whim.

Different from before, only Lin Sen and Han Bin took part in the battle, but this time, everyone responded, and even Lu Wei joined in the fun.

Seeing this, Xia Kexin couldn't help but tease him and said, "Are you dumbfounded? I didn't expect that everyone wanted to teach you a lesson, right?"

Lu Ziqiu laughed and walked away, took the basketball, and started warming up with everyone.

Halfway through the competition, Yu Qin suddenly called, "General Manager, the alliance documents have been faxed."

Lu Ziqiu signaled everyone to be quiet before asking, "How was the punishment?"

"Our team will fine you alone and suspend you for [-] games, starting from the next game."

Thirty games, this is still within his acceptable range, at least he can catch up in time if the results are not satisfactory after returning, "About the referee, do they have any reply?"

"The referee is also suspended, but they are suspended for one season." As for the fine, she didn't even bother to mention it. The general manager never cared about fines, he has plenty of money.

"I see. You can fax the document to the chairman's secretary. I won't be going back to the office today. Just call me if you need anything."

"Ok."

Everyone saw that he hung up the phone and hurriedly gathered around him.

Lu Wei was the most anxious, "Is the alliance's punishment down?"

He is the most nervous and pressured here. Once Lu Ziqiu is suspended, he will inevitably be asked to direct the game. With the character of a coach, he will definitely not guide himself. If the results are not satisfactory, he will not know how to follow It's better for Lu Ziqiu to explain.

The rest of the team looked at him eagerly. Right now, the team is in good shape. As long as they continue to play as planned, they will definitely enter the playoffs. Even if they perform well, they may even enter the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Lu Ziqiu put away the phone, casually shot a three-pointer, and shot out of the box, "Oh, the feeling of answering the phone is gone."

Xia Kexin was so anxious that her heart almost jumped out of her throat, "You are talking, how are you punished?"

Lu Ziqiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's just a [-]-match suspension, just to exercise Lu Wei."

"Thirty or thirty games?" Xia Kexin's face collapsed.

The faces of the others also turned solemn. Thirty games is no joke. Without his on-the-spot command, they have no confidence in maintaining their current momentum.

Lu Ziqiu didn't take it seriously, clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry, as long as you promise not to be left behind too much, when I come back, we can still make it to the playoffs, but the ranking is a little bit worse, but it doesn't matter. Playing against strong teams in the playoffs is not without any benefits."

Although he showed full confidence, everyone's mood was obviously not high. Everyone understood what Lu Ziqiu represented to this team. With him standing on the sidelines and directing, they would have a backbone. Even if they played poorly, they would not worry, because They all believe that the head coach will definitely make adjustments soon.

"Lu Wei and Ke Xin come with me, everyone else should leave." After saying that, he walked out of the arena without waiting for everyone to respond.

The two looked at each other and followed slowly.

Seeing that everyone was still stunned on the spot, George frowned and waved his hand, "What are you doing standing there? What should we do? Let's continue training in the afternoon."

After leaving the arena, Lu Ziqiu suddenly looked back at Lu Wei, and asked abruptly, "Are you not confident?"

Lu Wei smiled wryly and nodded, "I'm afraid I won't be able to take it well."

"Fear is not a bad thing. Only when you know that you are afraid will you find ways to strengthen it. During the time you lead the team, I will not have any requirements for the team's performance, but you cannot relax your requirements."

Lu Wei nodded silently. There is no need for the coach to remind him of this, he himself knows it well, but it is still different after all to direct the game on the field.

"When you direct the game, you have to forget about my existence and the score. You just need to keep a calm head at all times, and it's fine if you direct the game, understand?"

Forgot the score?

It's easier said than done.

The last time he directed a game, he was so nervous that he always had to glance at the score from time to time. If he didn't look at the score, he felt uneasy.

Lu Ziqiu knew that it was useless to tell him too much all at once. To become an excellent head coach, he could only rely on himself to explore slowly. It was not that he was unwilling to teach, but that he did not want to impose his own ideas on him. , everyone has a different personality, so naturally they should have their own style.

So they just communicated a few more words and asked him to go back first.

Seeing Lu Wei's serious face, Xia Kexin wanted to follow him to accompany him, but since Lu Ziqiu called her here, presumably there must be other arrangements.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Wei left, Lu Ziqiu spoke, but it was completely different from what she thought, "Kexin, you have to work harder during my suspension."

Xia Kexin was taken aback, I don't need to do anything, what can I do so hard?

But after thinking about it, she immediately understood what was going on, "Are you worried about Lan Feng and the others?"

"Well, there is no need to worry about their attitude towards the game. What I worry about is that they can't control their temper on the field, so you have to pay special attention to them during the game. Once you find any bad signs, immediately let Lu Wei change. Play them, even if you lose the game, it doesn't matter."

As for what to do after the replacement, there is no need to explain, Xia Kexin knows how to do it.

"Don't worry about this, I will do well." Xia Kexin nodded, but she didn't understand why Lu Ziqiu didn't want to go to the scene to watch the battle, even if he sat in the audience, it was a good encouragement to everyone.

"Why don't you want to go to the scene to watch the battle?" After hesitating for a while, she still decided to figure it out.

"If I were here, Lu Wei would definitely ask me for help if he was in trouble. This is not conducive to his growth."

Xia Kexin understood, it turned out that he had good intentions, not that he didn't want to watch the game.

Lu Ziqiu patted her on the shoulder with a smile, "You should go back too, spend more time with Lu Wei during this time."

"Where are you going? Are you leaving Yancheng again?"

Am I that irresponsible?Lu Ziqiu really couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't worry, I will come to the arena often during this time."

With the burden off, Lu Ziqiu suddenly felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
