Chapter 148 He just doesn't want to be high-profile
Although the Wolves had an advantage on the field, Red Bull lost a main player and played extremely hard.

As for the Wolves, Lu Qian used his weight to play singles with his back, and frequently made meritorious deeds.

Before the end of the first quarter, the Wolves had the last attack. As long as this goal can be scored, the score will be stretched to double digits.

So Lu Ziqiu called a timeout, rearranged the last attack, replaced Lu Wei and Luo Peng, removed Lan Feng and Luo Mang, and added Han Bin, Lu Qian and Lin Sen on the field. The ball is a threat, and it is too difficult for Red Bull to defend against it.

After playing, both Lu Wei and Lu Qian went to the low post to ask for the ball, while the other three all pulled away.

Lin Sen passed the ball to Lu Wei, Red Bull chose to pinch the ball, Lu Wei almost kept the ball, and quickly passed the ball again, Red Bull's outside defense was in place, but Lin Sen flicked his wrist and gave the ball to Han Bin again .

Han Bin, who was in the open position, easily hit a three-pointer and the score opened to 11 points.

There are only three seconds left in the game.

Red Bull didn't give up and quickly served the ball. After receiving the ball, Li Wu dribbled a few steps and shot from a super long distance. The ball hit the backboard far away, but it was far away from the basket.

The whistle sounded and the first quarter was over.

In the second quarter, Kuhn played again. This time he calmed down a lot and was no longer influenced by Lin Sen.

Once he calmed down, the threat increased greatly, and it didn't take long for him to hit two three-pointers in a row.

On the other hand, the Wolves' offense has hit the iron twice in a row.

As soon as Kuhn came back to life, even Horn and Lennarn who were inside were also activated, and the Red Bull finally played their own rhythm.

As a result, the pressure on the Wolves has increased greatly, and the score is gradually approaching.

Lu Ziqiu could only call a timeout and re-rotate the players. The two sides fought fiercely.

In the second half of the second quarter, Li Wu and Guo Hui attacked at the same time, frequently hitting mid-range shots.

At the end of the first half, the score was reduced to only 4 points.

The explanation is in a hurry.

Luo Chen said: "If we can't find a good solution in the second half, I'm afraid it will be very disadvantageous."

Caesar nodded, "Oh, coach Lu's extensive rotation of players, the disadvantages still appear."

"Yeah, when the opponent has all the main players, we still keep rotating. How can this guarantee the state of the players?"

"I hope the team can make adjustments in the second half, otherwise it will be really worrying to continue playing like this."

Yang Xiaojing approached Lu Ziqiu and asked a question that most people couldn't understand, "Coach Lu, why didn't you replace the entire main lineup in time when the opponent had all the main players?"

The questions she asks are always for Lu Ziqiu's sake, as long as Lu Ziqiu answers honestly, or makes up a lie to get around, even if he loses after the game, he will not be accused by the media.

But Lu Ziqiu is Lu Ziqiu, he understands Yang Xiaojing's intentions, but he doesn't bother to talk to the outside world. "My players need to rest, it's as simple as that."

Yang Xiaojing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and gave him a hard look, "Then how sure are you of winning this match?"

Lu Ziqiu was still perfunctory, "The opponent is the fourth-ranked team, and we are only ranked No. 11. The strength gap between the two sides is not small. How can I be sure? I will be very happy if I don't lose."

Yang Xiaojing was so angry that she wanted to jump up and bite him, "But the ranking does not represent one's own strength. If our team hadn't had six main players suspended before, the current ranking would definitely not be much lower than the Red Bull."

"No matter how low it is, it's still low."

Yang Xiaojing choked, and she swore that she would never interview Lu Ziqiu again, and even if the editor-in-chief had objections, she would never ask the bastard here again.

Lu Ziqiu saw that her face was gloomy, and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

Yang Xiaojing was so angry that she rushed into the player tunnel after the camera was turned off, blocking Lu Ziqiu's way, "Lu Ziqiu, are you angry with me on purpose?"

Lu Ziqiu shrank his neck, "Where do I have it? Didn't I cooperate well just now?"

"That's what you call cooperating with me? Believe it or not, I'll bite you?" Yang Xiaojing grinned hoarsely, grabbed his hand and was about to bite.

Lu Ziqiu hurriedly covered her forehead with his hand, "I really cooperated with you. If I keep using the main force to fight against them, I can't beat them at all, so I can only use the substitute players to consume their physical energy as much as possible."

Yang Xiaojing snorted and raised her head, "Then why didn't you say that when I interviewed you?"

"Can I say that? If I say that, won't other teams know about it in the future? Then how can I use this tactic?"

This is obviously not a reason. Anyone who can be the head coach of the team can't see his tricks, but others are not as courageous as him.

But for laymen like Yang Xiaojing, it made sense.

"Is that so?"

"Of course it's true. It's not like you don't know how much the media is targeting me. If I say I'm sure of winning but lose, the media must not hack me out of the universe?"

Yang Xiaojing couldn't help being amused by him, "Forget it, I'll let you go this time, and if I do this again next time, I'll really bite you." Then she shook off his hand. A moment no longer exists.

Lu Ziqiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Go to our locker room for a stroll?"

"Okay." Yang Xiaojing readily agreed, she also wanted to see what Lu Ziqiu was doing in the locker room.

But after returning to the locker room, Lu Ziqiu didn't do anything at all, just sat aside and closed his eyes to rest his mind, and the players were even worse. Some people even took out poker cards and started playing cards. How could there be any nervous atmosphere?

Yang Xiaojing was stunned, and it took a while to recover, and she dragged Luo Mang out, "Is this how you usually are in the locker room?"

Luo Mang shook his head, "It wasn't like this before, but then the coach thought we were too bored, so he let us relax completely."

"He can really mess around. If the outside world finds out, do you still think about it?"

Luo Mang didn't take it seriously, "If you know it, you know it, the coach doesn't care, what do we care about?"

Yang Xiaojing was completely speechless, "Anyway, I don't care, you can learn anything from him, but you can't follow him to fight against the media."

Luo Mang reluctantly agreed, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart, as long as he didn't provoke him, if he was provoked, he didn't care what the media was or not, he would be fine.

Yang Xiaojing was quite satisfied with his performance, and hugged his arm with a smile, "Then do you have the confidence to win this game?"

"Of course, we were very confident before the game."

"Where's Lu Ziqiu?"

"He is the one with the most confidence among us. If you don't believe me, just look at it. At most, Red Bull can only persist until the middle of the fourth quarter. After that, their physical fitness can't compete with us at all. And you can't find it. We haven't made a breakthrough today. Attacking the inside, with the style of the coach, I believe that as soon as the second half starts, they will definitely chase after their inside."

"Damn Lu Ziqiu, you lied to me again." Yang Xiaojing stomped her feet angrily after hearing this.

Luo Mang hugged her dumbfounded, "Okay, the coach won't lie to you on purpose, he just doesn't want to be too high-profile."
