basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 131 I don't want to be a puppet

Seeing that Xia Hongfei's face was a bit unsightly, Qiao Zhi kept winking at Lu Ziqiu, but Lu Ziqiu turned a blind eye.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little dull.

After a while, Xia Kexin tentatively asked, "Why don't I tell Lu Wei later?"

Lu Ziqiu looked at her, "Do you want Lu Wei to restrain them?"

"No, I just hope that Lu Wei can communicate with them. Of course, I will communicate with them. After all, this is really not good."

Lu Ziqiu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are wrong, Lu Wei will never agree, and I also advise you, now everyone treats you as a good friend and dotes on you, if you talk to them about this, they will definitely treat you in their hearts If you have an idea, do you want to be isolated by everyone again?"

Xia Kexin's heart sank, and she couldn't speak for a moment. Thinking back to the days of being ignored by everyone last season, it was really hard.

But if they don't communicate with the players, they will definitely make more news in the future, the board of directors will definitely have more opinions, and the pressure on the father will also be greater. What should I do?
Lu Ziqiu sighed and said, "Kexin, the management of the team should be distinguished from the management of the company. Not all management systems can be used in common, do you understand?"

Xia Kexin hesitated and did not respond.

Lu Ziqiu felt that he had said enough, so he didn't say any more.

Xia Hongfei was silent for a long time before suddenly asking: "What if they become depressed because of this?"

"After all, they are human beings, not machines. Whether their state is good or bad has nothing to do with whether they go to nightclubs or not, but if they affect training or competitions, I will definitely deal with it strictly. Chairman, I hope you don't There's no point in staring at the media all the time, really."

After a pause, Lu Ziqiu continued: "The players are under a lot of pressure to play, and they need to relax. Of course, there are different ways to relax, but most players in the league still prefer to go to nightclubs, but many of them don't. It’s just being exposed, as for the media, once they have nothing to write, maybe tomorrow even a dog who died in the star’s house will write about it, what’s so strange about that?”

After talking for a long time, Lu Ziqiu just didn't want to. Xia Hongfei was angry in his heart, and he didn't say it out, but he didn't have any interest in talking further, so he got up and left.

Seeing his ugly face, Lu Ziqiu felt very upset, so he didn't bother to send it off.

Xia Kexin gave Lu Ziqiu an angry look, and hurriedly followed him out.

The other members of the coaching staff looked at each other, sat for a while and saw that Lu Ziqiu didn't explain anything, then got up and left.

George sent them out, closed the door and came back to see Lu Ziqiu sitting sullenly and silently, and couldn't help sighing: "You, I really don't know what to say to you."

Lu Ziqiu frowned, "I didn't do anything wrong, and everything I said was reasonable, but they thought those reports would affect the image of the team."

"But you can also be perfunctory. There is no need to be so tough."

"I take a step back today, and the media will report something tomorrow, and they will come to me again. Do I have to take another step back? If I continue to make concessions like this, I can only become a puppet in the end. How can I lead the team to win the championship?" ?”

George sighed, "I understand what you mean, and I don't think you did anything wrong, but he is the chairman after all, so if you just say a few perfunctory words, after a while, won't this matter pass naturally?"

Lu Ziqiu smiled wryly and shook his head, "They asked me for a meeting today, and I've been perfunctory, but tonight he came suddenly and brought all the coaching staff. What does that mean? He's the boss, but so what? Either execute according to the agreement, or terminate the contract with me, why should I bow down to others?"

George knew his character well, and it was useless to persuade him, "Well, it's getting late now, you should go to bed early, and don't think too much."

"Okay." Lu Ziqiu got up and sent him out the door.

When she came back, Diana stood angrily at the stairs, without even changing her clothes.

Lu Ziqiu asked with a wry smile, "Have you heard everything?"

Diana walked over to help him, "Well, what he did was a bit too much. He brought so many people here, obviously he was putting pressure on you. In vain, I usually think this boss is good, but it seems that he is just a villain. "

"It's not like the villain, it's just that he was dazzled by the recent victory."

"After only winning a few games, he thought the team was amazing, and he kept talking about the team's image, which is really unreasonable."

The two sat down on the sofa, Lu Ziqiu smiled wryly and did not talk about this topic again, "Are your feet okay? Do you want to buy some medicine for you to wipe?"

Diana shook her head and said, "It's okay, it just hurt a little when I hit it, but it's fine now."

"You'd better not wear it like this in the future, there are so many people coming and going here."

"Usually no one comes so late." This is true, Lan Feng and the others usually don't come so late.

Seeing that she was really not happy, Lu Ziqiu stopped trying to persuade her.

But Diana became more and more annoyed, "Why don't we leave the Wolves after the contract with them expires, okay?"

"Aren't you happy here?"

"I'm fine, as long as I can be your assistant, it's the same everywhere, but I can't bear them treating you like this."

"Silly girl, unless I go to the Fire, any team will be similar."

It was obviously impossible to go to Agni, and she had to go early. As for the reason, Diana knew very well, but the more she thought about staying in the Wolves, the more she felt worthless for Lu Ziqiu.

Lu Ziqiu frightened her hand slightly, "Diana, are you willing to follow me wherever I go?"

"Of course, I'm only your assistant."

"Then what if I'm no longer in the league?"

"Then I will follow you, I believe you will never give up basketball."

Lu Ziqiu froze for a moment, "You will get married sooner or later. When you get married and have a family, you won't think so."

Diana shook her head vigorously, "He promised me that he will work wherever I am, so there is no problem, unless you give up basketball and you don't need me anymore, then I will also change jobs."

"After I lead the Wolves to win the championship, I will leave the league and return to the orphanage."

"Ah?" Diana stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief, "Are you really going to give up basketball?" After saying this, tears flowed down involuntarily.

Lu Ziqiu felt distressed, and gently wiped away her tears, "Why would I give up basketball? In fact, I rented a few hundred acres of land next to the orphanage, and it is still under construction. An indoor basketball hall will be built at that time. There, I teach children how to play and take care of the children in the orphanage, if you are willing to follow me, then I will take you there."

Diana nodded vigorously, "Of course I would."

"Okay, that's the deal." Lu Ziqiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Go, change clothes, let's go for a walk."

"Ah."
