Chapter 126: The Observer

Alexander? Rowe walked off the court in a dejected mood with three minutes and 12 seconds left in the third quarter, but Alexander's departure was not part of the team's normal rotation, and he was forced to go off.

In just five minutes, Alexander was forced to walk to the free throw line five times, and the percentage of shooting 4-of-10 from the field was enough to tell his mood, and by the last time, he even missed two free throws, at which point his mood was broken.

It's not that Alexander hasn't practiced free throws, he's been practicing free throws for the past two years, but God seems to have deprived him of the flexibility of his wrists, and even the flexibility of his fingers, he can grab rebounds under the basket and score with a dunk, but there is no way to make the basketball spin round.

The pace of the European youth team was disrupted by the brazen tactics of the Frontier youth team throughout the third quarter, and their original double-digit lead was now gone, and they were even behind the opponent's near-double digit point difference.

Wang Lei and Xu Hui next to him kept discussing, he and the coaching staff had to pay attention to the number of fouls of the players on the court at any time, not let any player commit too many fouls, and also had to pay attention to adjusting the lineup on the court at any time in order to ensure the team's offensive efficiency.

The players of the Frontier Youth Team are getting more and more excited, and they may have doubted the manager's tactics before the start of the third quarter, but no one doubts whether Wang Lei's tactics have any effect, after all, the effect is so obvious.

There were a lot of spectators on the sidelines who booed, and of course laughter, it was probably the supporters of the European youth team or the spectators who were dissatisfied with the scene, but the majority of the laughter was because of Alexander? Luo's act of hiding and hiding is really hilarious, this is a scene that has never appeared on the basketball court in this time and space.

Coach Latamandis replaced Alexander after a long period of patience, not because he was stubborn, it was indeed because Latamandis was too important to the team, although he made free throws and shots are rubbish, but his tactical execution ability is the most outstanding in the whole team, his strategy and passing are the core of the whole team's offense, and it is difficult for substitute players to do the same level as Alexander.

The reason why the European Chinese youth team lost to the Yuedong Provincial Youth Team in the last game was also because Hong Kai completely suppressed Alexander.

After Alexander's departure, the Frontier Youth Team stopped their "shameless" tactics and began to settle for positional battles, pursuing efficiency and shooting percentage, while also deliberately lowering the attacking tempo, after all, they now occupy an absolute lead.

At this time, in an inconspicuous corner of the stadium, an old man with white hair and two middle-aged people were discussing something.

"Haha, this kid is really bold, this kind of tactic can be studied by him, it seems that he has not been so decadent in recent years."

The white-haired old man smiled very happily, and the person he was talking about should be Wang Lei.

"Well, this is in line with his usual character, this kid used to be quite bold in the team, and he made you angry several times, but now you are not angry with him, right?"

One of the middle-aged people should also be talking about Wang Lei.

"Haha, what are you angry about now, I'm very relieved to see this kid again, alas, it's a pity that Xiao Wang and his wife can't see it."

"Director Qi, there is no way to do this, people have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, now this kid can achieve something, and it can be regarded as the spirit of heaven who can comfort his parents."

"Xiao Wu, how about I say I recruited him to the team?"

"You're not afraid that he'll make you angry again?"

"This kid looks pretty calm now."

"I think we should let him go his own way, you can also see it, Coach Qi, the tactics he is engaged in now are completely different from our philosophy, recruiting him to the team will only delay him, but I think I can recruit a few young people in his team to experience the experience competition, that white-haired little guy is still very good."

In fact, the three people who are being discussed are members of the coaching staff of the Republic's national youth team, this white-haired old man is Qi Haifeng, the head coach of the current national youth team, and the other two are his disciples and his assistant coaches.

When Wang Lei first entered the national team, Qi Haifeng was the coach of the national team at that time, and he was very optimistic about Wang Lei Qi Haifeng, and also supported Wang Lei to go to North America to participate in higher-level competitions, but Qi Haifeng did not expect Wang Lei to encounter such a thing, Wang Lei's father was also guided by Qi Haifeng when he was young.

The National Games set up various events in the youth group, one is to give young players a higher platform to show, and the other is to select talents for the Olympic Games next year.

Qi Haifeng and his coaching staff were still very curious about Wang Lei's current coaching team, so they came to Jinghai to watch the game, but they didn't expect Wang Lei's tactics to be so strange now.

"You're right, Cheng Kai, alas, I'm old, my way of thinking is also aging, and I can't keep up with the current changes, and it will depend on you young people in the future."

Qi Haifeng is now over 70 years old, and he is still very concerned about the development of basketball in the Republic, he knows that he can't keep up with the times, so he is more of a symbolic head coach in the team, and the two middle-aged people around him who are really responsible for daily training and tactical arrangements.

After the game entered the fourth quarter, Latamandis tried to replace Alexander, but as soon as the Frontier Youth Team waited for Alexander to come on the court, they immediately used foul tactics, which caused Latamandis to have a headache, and he never found a good way to catch up with the score as the game passed minute by minute.

As the game entered the final five minutes, the Frontier Youth Team used the fast break to stretch the difference to more than 15 points, and the suspense of the game was not much.

"Let's go, let's take advantage of the next few days to observe more."

Although the game is not over yet, Qi Haifeng has already gotten up and is ready to leave.

"Don't you see that kid? Or encourage him. ”

"No, there will be opportunities in the future, now encourage him to be proud, let him and his team play the next games, and wait for the finals to see him."

"Are you so sure he'll make it to the finals?"

"Haha, although the old man is outdated, he still has a vision, this kid plays a very good set, and he won't have too many opponents in the youth competition."

Qi Haifeng and others left quietly, Wang Lei didn't know that there were such observers, and at the same time, he didn't expect his players to enter the eyes of the national team so soon.

With the end of the game, Latamandis shook hands with Wang Lei with a gloomy face and turned to leave, the Greeks did not have the atmosphere and calmness before the game at this time, Ratamandis at this time was like a resentful woman who was thrown up, to be honest, Wang Lei's tactics brought too deep a shadow to Latamandis.
