106 Get rid of distractions
Not willing? There is.
Regret? There is.
Remaining thoughts? There are also some.
Lu Yiqi naturally imagined that if the Wildcats really killed all over the world and pressed the Longhorns to the ground and rubbed the opponent's score below fourteen points, how glorious and pleasant it would be. Maybe he could take this opportunity to reach the top and enter the professional league's sight.
But at the same time, he also knew how ridiculous and difficult this idea was. Not to mention that the Wildcats' real running-in training time was only two weeks, just talking about the Longhorns' hard strength, even if the Wildcats really complete the integration as expected, they may not be able to strangle the opponent's attack.
Lu Yiqi knew all these difficulties! But he still chose to give it a try: before failure comes, the hope of success still exists.
After hard work, after hard work, he still lost. Those unwillingness and regrets were bitter on the tip of his tongue. Life is not a passionate novel after all. Relying on the halo of the protagonist, he can kill all directions and never have to face the trouble of failure. He still needs to face the huge gap in strength, and these gaps cannot be completely erased by a passionate slogan of spiritual victory, but will always exist objectively.
Losing the bet. In fact, this is the expected result. Lu Yiqi does not regret choosing the bet, because this bet gives him the opportunity to implement his tactical philosophy, and has received full cooperation and execution from Latimer and Robert, and truly demonstrated the effect. This is already worth it. Perhaps in the future, Latimer will be willing to try to make changes. Today's first half is much more convincing than those talking on paper.
But loss and helplessness are inevitable.
Standing at the door of the locker room, Lu Yiqi did not open the room door immediately, but leaned against the wall and threw a candy into his mouth, allowing the complex emotions to settle down.
If it was the previous life, I would sit in the office every day and use my mouth to "play" the game, no matter how nervous or exciting it is, I would be just an outsider who is watching. Now that I am truly in it, the roller coaster-like stimulating experience completely breaks the step-by-step process of daily life, making people feel excited.
This is the life Lu Yiqi longs for; at the same time, this is also the life Lu Yiqi chose! Since this journey has begun, you must enjoy it!
Crack Crack Crack.
Lu Yiqi bit the candy hard, and the sweet taste regained the surging thoughts, and the short-lived thoughts completely disappeared.
As he just said to Latimer: He lost the bet, but they didn't lose the game; at least, they still have a chance to return to Manhattan with a victory!
Turn around! Push the door!
"Buzzing"
"Buzzing"
The low talk was scrambling in the locker room, not as excited as imagined, nor as forgetful as expected - the feeling of oppression that was in danger at the end of the first half, every player could feel the powerful strength from the favorite to win the championship, and it was still shocking.
The overwhelming pressure made people breathless, and it also made these young college students begin to doubt:
Can we really beat the Longhorns?
So, what should Lu Yiqi do? He delivered a passionate speech, inspiring the players' fighting spirit, and letting them burn the small universe in the second half?
But Lu Yiqi believes that it is not necessary because the players performed very well in the first half and did their best in their strength range. They do not need to burn the universe, they only need to continue their focus and investment in the first half to have a chance to win, but they need to adjust their tactics a little.
At the last moment of the first half, Lu Yiqi was still a little conservative. He always felt that he could wait for the halftime break after a little longer, so he did not change his tactics rashly; but his conservatism still paid a price. Mark Brown's decisiveness and adventure successfully seized the upper hand, which was also a lesson:
When the head coach chooses conservative intentionally or unintentionally, it means losing the initiative. Victory should not be lucky or wait for the opponent to make mistakes to give to him; instead, you should stand up and fight for it. Only in this way can you firmly grasp the initiative.
"Ahem."
Lu Yiqi coughed twice, and all eyes in the locker room were concentrated. The noise of constant noise gradually settled down. Those hesitant and confused eyes were waiting for an answer, looking forward to the head coach who could guide them back on track and strive for victory.
"We performed very well in the first half."
Lu Yiqi's voice was stable and tough, and his calm and atmospheric eyes revealed strong confidence, which made the young and energetic players feel a little calmer. From the reversal of the opening game to the lead of the Longhorns in the first half, this young interim head coach is bringing players more confidence.
"I'm serious. No one can deny the excellence and excellence of the Longhorns. We forced such a strong opponent to a dead end and entered the half with a score lead. Our performance is indeed outstanding. You, everyone present, are qualified to raise your jaw high and tell every fan: We are doing our best, and we are experiencing the best and most exciting time of the season!"
The words were both slow and slow, but they were loud and loud, which gradually condensed the players' eyes. Unconsciously, their backs began to be upright, their shoulders opened again, and even their eyes were focused again, and they became hot with the inspiration of Lu Yiqi's words.
"In the second half, we need to continue this state. At the tactical level, our framework is not a problem, but in terms of details, we need to make some adjustments. Otherwise, the Longhorns that are easily defeated will not be the Longhorns we expect, right? The stronger the opponent, the more intense the game, the sweeter the victory! I am ready, and I believe you are ready too!"
The rising momentum made the atmosphere in the locker room start to boil. The players were all ready to move, wishing to stand up immediately, wave their fists, and walk onto the battlefield again.
Lu Yiqi knew that his morale was already in place; next, he could start to arrange tactics.
Latimer stood in the corner of the locker room, staring at Lu Yiqi quietly, observing the scene in front of him that seemed to have used magic. He noticed Robert, who was clenching his fists in his darkness, and the offensive team coaching team raising his arms and shouting. The atmosphere in the entire locker room was completely renewed.
Lu Yiqi seemed to have such magic. The firmness and confidence bursting from the inside out, with a pure enthusiasm and concentration, can easily infect every listener. It is hard to imagine that this is just his fourth week as an interim head coach.
Finally, Latimer's gaze fell again on Lu Yiqi who was setting up tactics. His eyes flashed slightly, and then disappeared into the expressionless stiffness. He also focused and began to listen carefully to Lu Yiqi's midfield tactical command-
Chapter completed!
