basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 288

After returning to the hotel, Lu Ziqiu asked everyone to go back to rest as usual, and at the same time told them that tomorrow was a holiday, so they all went out to relax, no one was allowed to touch basketball, and no one was allowed to stay in the hotel.

Not long after he entered the room, Yan Bingtian called him. Although it was just for nonsense, Lu Ziqiu understood that he made a special trip to comfort him.

After hanging up, he chatted with Lin Qian until very late. When he was about to go to sleep, the doorbell suddenly rang.

When I opened it, it was Xia Kexin and George, but looking at their expressions, they looked very tired.

Lu Ziqiu hurriedly invited the two of them into the room, "Why are you still not resting so late?"

George sighed and sat down on the sofa, "Not only we can't sleep, but everyone can't sleep."

"Everyone is under a lot of pressure after the game, what can you do?" Xia Kexin also had a bitter expression on his face.

Lu Ziqiu shook his head, "It's enough to let them relax. The game still needs to be played game by game. If we lose the first two games a few times, it doesn't mean that we have no chance at all."

"But they can't relax at all now."

"It will be better if you go out to relax. You can go tomorrow too."

"Can I just relax?" Xia Kexin's eyes flashed disappointment, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

After pondering for a while, George asked, "Is there really no other way for you?"

Lu Ziqiu shook his head again, "This is already the best way."

After hearing this, both of them couldn't speak for a while, and Lu Ziqiu was already too sleepy, so he persuaded them to go back and rest.

In the next second game, the players still couldn't adjust their mentality and played very impatiently, while Agni has been playing steadily. Even if the scene is sometimes unpleasant, they still seem very calm.

However, Lu Ziqiu on the sidelines could see clearly that the players of Raging Fire seemed to be calm, but they were actually angry inside. If Martin hadn't been able to control their emotions well, they wouldn't be able to stand up to Lan Feng and others. .

From the beginning to the end of the game, the Wolves never took the lead once, and they were only 3 points behind at the closest time. But in the fourth quarter, they still paid the price for their impatience, and they still lost by 10 points in the end.

Xia Hongfei and the others came here in high spirits, but they could only return disappointed in the end.

The team rushed back to Yancheng on the second day after the game. As soon as they arrived at Yancheng's board of directors, they asked the team to hold a meeting and make a summary.

But Lu Ziqiu ignored their request at all. The most important thing for the players now is their mentality. As long as their mentality is balanced, they still have enough ability to win the game.

The board of directors was furious after hearing the news, thinking that he did not consider the team at all, and asked him to return to the club immediately to attend the meeting held by the board of directors.

Lu Ziqiu ignored it, instead he took the team out to relax, and took all of them to a nightclub that night.

The players gradually forgot about the game after drinking some alcohol, and then they finally found themselves under the stimulation of alcohol and music.

When he was drunk, Xia Hongfei called Lu Wei and asked him and Xia Kexin to go back immediately. The two hesitated to ask Lu Ziqiu's opinion. Lu Ziqiu looked at the time and said, "Go back first, we are about to go back."

"But."

Before Xia Kexin finished speaking, Lu Ziqiu interrupted her, "You don't need to say anything, I know what your father and the others are thinking, if they mention it after you go back, tell them, I have my way, I hope they don't Mess up my plans."

The two nodded with wry smiles, and went home after greeting everyone.

All the shareholders were there, and everyone's face was very ugly, especially Bai Yufei, who became furious when she saw them come back, "Lu Ziqiu is an outsider, so it's fine for him to mess around, what about you? Are you also outsiders?"

Both Lu Wei and Xia Kexin held back their anger and did not argue with her.

Xia Hongfei took a deep breath, and asked Xia Keke to persuade Bai Yufei to go back into the room before turning his head to look at the two of them, "Tell me, what are you doing? Don't you know that the next game is important to us?" ?"

Xia Kexin replied unceremoniously: "Dad, the team has a team preparation plan, please don't disrupt our plan."

"What did you say?"

Seeing that Xia Hongfei was on the verge of breaking out, Lu Wei hurriedly pulled Xia Kexin behind him, "Dad, the most important thing now is to find a way to solve everyone's mentality problem. As long as everyone's mentality can be adjusted, our hope is still great." .”

"Adjust your mentality and go to the nightclub? Adjust your mentality and don't even hold a summary meeting, and don't even attend the meeting of the board of directors. Is this called adjusting your mentality?" Xia Hongfei became more and more angry as he talked, and finally couldn't control his temper and slapped the table.

Although the shareholders all had gloomy faces, they went over to persuade him to calm down.

"Let's go." Xia Kexin didn't bother to explain any more, but dragged Lu Wei out.

Xia Hongfei was even angrier, "Stop, what are you doing?"

"Go back to sleep. You can do whatever you want. In short, how to play the game and how the team prepares is the business of our coaching staff. I hope you will be instructed blindly." The words continued to drag Lu Wei away.

"Son, you."

Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly.

The doorbell came too timely.

Lu Wei patted Xia Kexin's hand and signaled her not to get excited before opening the door. When the door opened, he froze, "Coach, why are you here?"

"After thinking about it, I think it's better for me to come forward for some things." After finishing speaking, he walked in without waiting for his invitation.

Xia Kexin was taken aback, and quickly winked at him, signaling him to leave quickly, but Lu Ziqiu only nodded slightly at her and walked towards Xia Hongfei and the others, "Everyone, I know what you are worried about, but please trust me for the last time, Because no one wants a championship more than me."

After all, Lu Ziqiu had different identities, no matter how angry they were, they couldn't get angry at him arbitrarily.

Xia Hongfei calmed down a little under the persuasion of the shareholders, "Since you're here, let's sit down and talk."

Lu Ziqiu nodded and sat down beside him. Lu Wei also pulled Xia Kexin over and stood beside Lu Ziqiu.

Xia Hongfei took a deep breath, "Ziqiu, we need to hear your explanation."

"I said after the Huaxia game that the mentality of the players has changed. At that time, everyone didn't take it seriously, but everyone has witnessed the two games against Agni. The players are not unwilling to fight, but anxious So it’s not up to par.”

"We've all seen this, but what we need is for you to make a change, not for you to take them to a nightclub." Xia Hongfei didn't have the patience to listen to him talk so much, so he interrupted without waiting for him to finish speaking. up.

"Our players have relatively strong personalities, and the usual methods don't work for them at all, so I use this method." After the words, I stopped explaining, but directly expressed my attitude, "If you still trust me, please Please stop distracting me, thank you."

After speaking, I stood up, "Everyone, I have finished what I have to say. I will definitely do my best in the competition, and I will leave."

Seeing him go, Xia Kexin and Lu Wei hurriedly followed him. Xia Hongfei and the shareholders were left stunned on the spot, and no one spoke for a while.
