Chapter 144

The most difficult moment for the Wolves finally survived, lacking six main players, their record has only achieved two wins and eight losses, currently ranked No.11 with five wins and nine losses, and was dropped by No.8 by two The half win gap seems to be quite large, but in fact, everyone is not worried.

In the No. 15 game, they will face the fourth-ranked Red Bull in the Eastern Conference at home.

Red Bull is a relatively young team. The team has gathered a group of talented rookies. After the growth of last season, they have achieved quite good results this season.

Before the game, Lu Ziqiu still deployed highly targeted tactics as usual, "Red Bull mainly relies on switching offense to score. Except for power forward Lennarn, once the rest of them fall into the position, their attack power is actually not strong, so we One must slow down and try to drag them into positional warfare."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

"Luo Mang, your task is to limit Lennarn, don't let him easily get the ball near the three-second zone, try to push him out of the three-second zone, understand?"

"it is good."

"Others, remember to guard against breakthroughs but not to guard against shots. At the same time, remember to protect the backcourt rebounds. They are very capable of rushing and grabbing frontcourt rebounds, especially Guo Hui and Li Wu. Although their attack methods are not many , but defense and rebounding are their strengths, so these two must be optimistic."

Guo Hui and Li Wu were once the main rotation players of the Bobcats, a first-round pick and a second-round pick. Lu Ziqiu selected them because of their defense and rebounding ability.

After explaining, Lu Ziqiu waved the players to go out to warm up.

Xia Kexin approached him and asked, "Why don't you let Lan Feng restrain his temper during the game?"

"There's no need for that, they know what they're doing."

Xia Kexin smiled wryly: "You said that before, but aren't they fighting?"

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, "Could it be that you want me to tell them every game? Besides, they have held back for ten games. Do you think they still have the heart to think about other things after they play?"

"I hope so, anyway, I'm really scared."

Lu Ziqiu laughed and patted her on the shoulder, "Let's go, you can watch the game with peace of mind."

"team leader."

Just as Lu Wei was about to go on stage to warm up, he suddenly heard a voice, turned around and saw Guo Hui and Li Wu, and smiled involuntarily, "You two boys are now the main force, and you did a good job." Hit their chests.

The two laughed shyly.

Guo Hui said: "Captain, how are you recently?"

Li Wu also said: "Our brothers miss everyone."

When facing Red Bull last season, Lu Wei happened to be recovering from his injury, so they never met.

Lu Wei smiled, "I'm doing well. When this season is over, let's invite everyone out for a get-together." Judging from the current situation, the personalities of the two have not changed, and they are still as shy as before.

"Okay." Guo Hui said happily.

Li Wu scratched his head, "I didn't expect us to be rivals now, captain, you have to worry, once you play, the two of us will take turns defending you."

They are the defensive gates of Red Bull's perimeter. In the locker room, the head coach explained to them the most is to keep an eye on Lu Wei.

Lu Wei laughed, "Can you two boys guard against me?"

Guo Hui: "That's not necessarily the case, we have improved a lot."

"Okay, then we will compete on the field, and I will do my best."

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "So do we."

Lu Wei was about to speak to encourage them, but saw Lu Ziqiu coming out of the passage, "The coach has come out, you go over and say hello to the coach."

The two were overjoyed, and hurriedly turned their heads to meet Lu Ziqiu's eyes.

Lu Ziqiu smiled and waved to them.

The two hurriedly greeted Lu Wei, and quickly ran over, "Coach."

Lu Ziqiu raised his hands and landed heavily on their shoulders, "You all performed very well, and you have lived up to my expectations of you at the beginning."

The eyes of the two were slightly red, and they nodded emphatically. It was their greatest achievement to get the coach's approval.

Back then, if it weren't for Lu Ziqiu's teachings, it would have been difficult for them to become the main force in the league so quickly.

"But you have to do your best in this game, or you will be beaten by my players." Lu Ziqiu saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he joked.

The two were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

Guo Hui said: "Don't underestimate people. Except for the captain, it's not easy for others to beat us one-on-one."

Li Wu nodded, and replied confidently: "Our shooting is much more stable now than before."

This is true. Judging from the mid-range shooting percentage of the two of them this season, they have indeed improved a lot. However, in Lu Ziqiu's view, although they have made a lot of progress in mid-range shooting, they are far from threatening their own team. What can really threaten the team is still their defense and ability to grab rebounds.

"Both of you are very distinctive players. As long as you can continue to grow, you will definitely become All-Star players within two seasons. I hope to see this day one day. Are you confident?"

The two nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's warm up and play to your heart's content in a while, let me take a good look at your current abilities."

"Yes, coach."

"Are they your former team members?" Xia Kexin didn't speak until the two of them left.

"Well, they are very talented players. Over time, they will definitely become top stars in the league. It is indeed very discerning for Red Bull to pick them in the trade."

"So powerful?" Xia Kexin was taken aback.

"Of course you thought I was joking."

"How about that Lennarn?"

"Leonern is also a good player with excellent offensive ability, but his pace is slow, his confrontation ability is average, and his mental quality is also average. Once the game goes wrong, he is easy to get impatient, and the two of them are real fighters. No matter how the team loses, you'll never see them down."

Although he didn't answer directly, Xia Kexin already understood that he was more optimistic about Guo Hui and Li Wu.

"They are so good, why don't you think of a way to trade them? Judging from their attitude towards you, it shouldn't be difficult to get them as long as you want and use your brain."

Lu Ziqiu laughed dumbfounded when he heard this, "Are you instigating me to drive a wedge between them and the team?"

Xia Kexin pouted, "I don't have such bad intentions."

"You, your mind is not as clean as before. You wouldn't say such things before."

Xia Kexin was taken aback, could it be that I really can't change?No, how can I change?I was just talking for a while.

Lu Ziqiu sighed, "Kexin, there are many ways to win the championship, but you have to remember that in my heart, basketball is always pure. I hope that when you take my place in the future, you can also understand this. point."
