Entertaining Children

? The All-Stars of the American NBA are the confrontation between the East and the West, and the All-Stars of the Chinese NBA are the confrontation between the North and the South. This time, the Celebrity Game of the Chinese Professional Basketball Team also followed the team rules of the All-Star Game, dividing the team into two teams, North and South. Although Xiao Yao's permanent residence is in Shencheng, which is located in the south of China, he was assigned to the Northern Celebrity Team according to his native Yanjing.

The players of the two teams are all stars. Even if they know each other, they haven't played together much. The basketball game is a group event. Even if it is a celebrity game of the nature of an exhibition game, players must pay attention to some tactics and cooperation. Therefore, before the game, the organizer also arranged training sessions for the two teams so that they can get familiar with each other, formulate tactics and cooperate with each other. Cultivate a tacit understanding of cooperation.

In the training class, after the team members arrive, the first thing is naturally for everyone to take turns to introduce themselves and get to know each other.

In terms of participating players, this year's first NBA All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game has some similarities and differences with the previous Charity Celebrity Game and NBA All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game.

Well, the Masters Tournament is dominated by non-professional basketball players and stars in the entertainment industry. In addition, this time both teams also have female players, and there will be scenes of male and female players competing on the same field. The difference is that only two retired former professional players participated in the Celebrity Game of the Chinese NBA All-Star Weekend, and there are no active professional players.

After the All-Star Weekend, there will be the Rookie Game and the All-Star Game two days later. There is no shortage of opportunities for the star players to perform. understandable. However, not only was there no professional player on the roster of the Masters, but there were no female professional players. The female players on both sides were all female stars from other professions, which made people feel a little surprised. You must know that all professional players' games during the All-Star Weekend are men's games, and there are no opportunities for female players to perform.

Whatever the reason, the roster has been determined and announced.

There are no active professional players, and the most professional players in the Masters must be the two former professional players. But when it comes to the performance on the field, it is not necessarily these two that everyone is most looking forward to.

These two retired former professional players are both Americans. They spent the beginning and golden period of their careers in the NBA, and both were selected as All-Stars in the NBA. Basketball, and retired from the Chinese NBA team. The fame and strength of these two former professional players are nothing to say, but it has been a long time since they retired, and their bodies have already put on weight. It's hard to say whether the technology has regressed, at least the physical fitness must have dropped sharply.

Not to mention that most professional players and non-professional players will play "grandfather" when they play exhibition games together. Even if they want to play seriously, this physical fitness may not be guaranteed.

Xiao Yao was only twenty years old when he participated in the Charity Star Competition.

He won the mvp with a large triple-double, and when he tied for the mvp with a triple-double in the American Masters, he was only 21 years old. Now Xiao Yao is 23 years old. Even though the official height has not changed, but the period from the age of 20 to the age of 23 is in the growth stage of physical fitness. Normally, he should be stronger than before. .

There are no active professional players, and the two former professional players are relatively old. After the roster of the Masters was announced, both the media and netizens on the Internet all focused on Xiao Yao, predicting that Xiao Yao There are the most voices who won the Masters MVP this time. Even Xiao Yao's teammates think so.

"Xiao Yao, with you on our team, we are sure to win! Did you also reserve the mvp for this competition?" After everyone introduced themselves in turn and got to know each other, there was one named Fang Qing. The girl smiled and asked Xiao Yao.

"It's just an exhibition game, the most important thing is for everyone to have fun!" Xiao Yao looked at the others and said with a smile, "Of course, since it's a competition, it's better to let nature take its course. The best you can get, It’s okay if you can’t get it, it’s more important for our team to win!”

"Cut~ It's not a reporter's interview, do you want to make it so official?" The girl named Fang Qing curled her lips.

"Tell me about your goal, how many points do you plan to score in this competition?" Another actor named Sheng Dongyuan asked Xiao Yao.

"Ten!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"What? The goal is so low?" Several people were surprised.

Although scoring ten points in a basketball game is not an easy task, it is for the average person. Based on the level that Xiao Yao has shown in several basketball games, this time the opponent does not have any powerful players such as professional players. This goal is obviously lower than their psychological expectations.

"This time there are no professional players in our team, so I applied to play the No. 1 position on offense." Xiao Yao said, "As a point guard, my goal is to assist, not to score. In this game, I My goal is to create a new high in the number of assists in my exhibition career, and I will ask everyone to help me a lot.”

Xiao Yao was not only not complacent about the fact that the media and the Internet were advocating that he would definitely win the Masters MVP, but he was a little worried.

Mvp speaks by performance and data on the field. If Xiao Yao performed better than others in the competition, even if he really won the mvp, I believe no one would say anything. And it's just an exhibition game, and everyone is not a professional player, so they don't take it too seriously. But before the competition started, everyone outside said that the mvp was in Xiao Yao's pocket, and almost ignored the other participating stars, which was not a good thing.

Xiao Yao has participated in two exhibition games before, and the impressive statistics are there. At least from the previous performance and superficial data, other people are not qualified to challenge Xiao Yao. Even Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was assigned to the Southern Celebrity Team this time and has always been a basketball master, said in a low-key interview with reporters that this time he played with a back injury, and the focus was on participation. I don't care about the mvp anymore, and no one of the other star players has publicly said in front of the media that they want to compete with Xiao Yao for the mvp, which is also the reason for the current wave of public opinion.

But no one said it publicly, it doesn't mean that others don't have any ideas in their hearts. You know, most of the star players selected by the organizers of the China Basketball All-Star Weekend to participate in the Masters Game can play. This kind of situation will inevitably cause some stars who think that their basketball skills are not bad to dislike Xiao Yao, and then deliberately target Xiao Yao during the game.

If it's the opponent's targeted defense, Xiao Yao is not afraid, but if it's a teammate who deliberately targets him and doesn't pass the ball to him, he can't ignore it. Although Xiao Yao does not have to win this mvp, he can also grab rebounds and attack by himself, and he does not necessarily run the whole court empty-handed and do nothing, but such a game can only show his failure and incompetence in handling interpersonal relationships. It was unacceptable to Xiao Yao.

Even if not all teammates will target him deliberately, even if there are only one or two who deliberately target him and refuse to pass the ball to him, Xiao Yao doesn't want that to happen, because it means that the atmosphere in the team will be problematic. There is a gap between some members of the team, which will also affect the combat effectiveness. Xiao Yao participated in this competition to play, and he also wanted to win.

Come forward and say in the media that he has no intention of being an mvp? It's obviously a lie. If the mvp really comes, Xiao Yao will definitely not refuse. Such a speech will only appear hypocritical and hypocritical, and Xiao Yao doesn't bother to do so. He just needs to solve the relationship between his teammates.

For teammates, there is definitely no need to say that I will not compete for mvp, which also seems very fake. All he needs is to let everyone know that he doesn't intend to stand out alone, and that it is enough for the whole team to shine on the court.

In the player list of the Northern Celebrity Team this time, there are no teammates from Xiao Yao's last charity match, nor anyone who has worked with him at work, so there are no teammates who know Xiao Yao's character well in private, and there is no teammate who helped Xiao Yao from the beginning. Speaker. Xiao Yao originally didn't intend to say that he used the performance of passing more balls to show his attitude when preparing for training, but since someone brought up these topics, Xiao Yao expressed his attitude verbally by the way.

The so-called assist is to pass the ball to a teammate to score. On the field of play, the one who scores is always the one who stands out. Although assists are also a very important statistic, they are still slightly worse than scoring. Xiao Yao scored fifteen assists in the Charity All-Star Game that year. To create a new high, he had to exceed this number, so he would pass the ball a lot during the game.

When Xiao Yao said this, he meant that he would not care about playing alone, but made it a more important task to let his teammates score. After saying this, Xiao Yao could feel that everyone's smiles were much more sincere.

"You are not looking for points but for assists, you are really different from others!" Fang Qing said with a smile.

"But since we are in the same team and are teammates, everyone will try their best to help you achieve this goal." Sheng Dongyuan continued.

"Yes!" The others also laughed.

"Okay, now that we've set our goal, let's start training!" A middle-aged man clapped his hands and said, "Although it's an exhibition match, we still want to win!"

This middle-aged man is Yi Yang, a well-known basketball commentator, deputy editor-in-chief and director of the basketball department of a Chinese paper media. Although he has never been a professional player or coach, he is also a basketball professional. This celebrity game, he will serve as the head coach of the Northern Celebrity Team.

"Okay!" Seeing that the coach had spoken, the players all agreed in unison.

"First of all, I need to know what positions everyone is good at in the game." Yi Yang said.

"You just said that I also watched your two games, and I know how to use you, so you don't need to say any more." Yi Yang looked at Xiao Yao and said.

Xiao Yao nodded.

"Now let other people take turns talking about it, and I will make some adjustments according to the actual situation." Yi Yang looked at the others and said, "Who will come first?"

"Me!" Sheng Dongyuan said first, "I think I can play shooting guard, or small forward."

"Understood," Yi Yang took a note, nodded and said, "Your height is fine, you can practice after a while, next one!"

"I don't know what position I'm suitable for," Fang Qing said. "I'm a girl, and my height and weight are incomparable with their boys. I'm sure I can't get into the paint. Let's look for opportunities to shoot outside!"

"It's not necessarily!" Yi Yang glanced at Xiao Yao, and Fang Qing said, "Did you watch the NBA All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game the year before last? It was a girl who won the tie for MVP with Xiao Yao. That girl is about the same size as you. She is an anchor, not a professional player. She scored more than 20 points in that game, many of which were assisted by Xiao Yao. You can watch that game. If you have a chance, you It’s also possible to go inside, especially on a fast break.”

"Really?" Fang Qing looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Then you can also let me get more than 20 points? No, I don't want to tie for mvp, as long as I can get 10 points and get two points Count, I am very content!"

"It depends on your shooting accuracy, consciousness and running position." Xiao Yao said, "As long as you run to the right position and I see it again, I will definitely pass the ball to you in time! As I said, compared to Scoring, I prefer passing assists."

"Speaking of which," Yi Yang said with a smile to Xiao Yao, "I remember the charity basketball game in Huaxia three years ago, you didn't score a point in the first quarter, but you sent out five assists, and they were given to different teammates. , it seems that you really like assists!"

Seeing Xiao Yao repeatedly mentioning this point, Yi Yang probably guessed what Xiao Yao was thinking, so he helped out. Even if he doesn't know the specific basketball level of these people, Yi Yang feels that, except for the former professional player, there should be no one among these people whose basketball strength can surpass Xiao Yao's. And Xiao Yao is not only a scorer, but also the organizer of the team, helping his teammates score. To win the game, a player like Xiao Yao will naturally be regarded as the core of the team by him. Xiao Yao was afraid that there would be a gap between his teammates and him, so of course he, the head coach, had to help.

"It seems so!" Yi Yang said so, and some of the others also remembered this.

Although Xiao Yao's scoring ability is very strong, and he is even a very rare player among entertainment star amateur players who can dunk, but he showed his basketball skills in public games, but he started with passing assists.

"Okay! Continue to the next one!" Yi Yang's click was enough, without further words, he continued to ask the next person.

"Just now Xiao Yao said that he wants to play the No. 1 position. I agree with this, but only when attacking. With his height, he has to go inside most of the time when defending." After all the players finished speaking, Yi Yang Announced, "When Xiao Yao is on the court, when attacking, Xiao Yao holds the ball and distributes the ball. He is the core of the offense. Pay attention to the distribution of the ball, not let him play alone! When defending, Xiao Yao stands under the basket and directs the defense. Also use him as the core of the defense."./3_3635/
