Entertaining Children

"What are Guo Zi and Xiao Yao talking about? Why are they chatting so lively? Isn't this painting style changing too quickly?" The players watching the game from the sidelines couldn't hear clearly the conversation between the two on the court and under the basket because of the distance. However, the behavior of the two people talking and the expressions on their faces are still clearly visible, so they are a little curious about the changes in their relationship.

On the sidelines of the other half of the stadium, the assistant coach of the national team who had sorted out the training records pointed to the two people on the field and asked the head coach: "Aj, it's time for a break, do you want to stop their game? Start the next training program?"

"No, let them finish the game." Alex Jefferson shook his head, and said to his assistant coach who had worked with him for more than ten years in his team and brought him from the United States: "The end of today's training can be postponed. Make up for the lost time, but I think this game will have a lot to gain for Guo."

"Really?" The assistant coach looked at the two people on the field hesitantly, and then asked in doubt: "Isn't this the photographer Yang found? How could it be Guo's opponent? Guo and him are not playing with him. That's all? Is this photographer still a national team level basketball player?"

"It's not at the level of the national team, but it's qualified to be Guo's opponent." Alex Jefferson said with a smile: "The point is, this guy is just a photographer and an amateur basketball player. Going all out against him must be a big stimulus to Guo. And we need this kind of stimulation for our players.”

As the national team coach Alex Jefferson said. After two goals, Guo Qi had put away her contempt and really regarded Xiao Yao as an opponent.

Xiao Yao's subsequent performance also proved that Guo Qi treated him as an opponent and went all out to treat him is a very correct approach. Although Guo Qi scored two more two-point goals later, turning the score into 4-2, it took Guo Qi more than ten seconds for each of these two goals. , emergency stops and turns, etc., resorted to various means to finally create a chance to make a move.

In terms of physical fitness in terms of strength, speed, and jumping, Xiao Yao and Guo Qi are about the same. Guo Qi has advantages over Xiao Yao in terms of height, wingspan, basketball skills, and experience, but Xiao Yao's mind is faster than Guo Qi's, and he knows Guo Qi far better than Guo Qi knows him, so the two The human race is not a one-sided massacre.

On the seventh ball, which was Guo Qi's fifth attack, Xiao Yao successfully defended Guo Qi's attack based on his understanding of Guo Qi's playing habits, and the offensive and defensive states of the two changed again.

The first four offenses were all frontal breakthroughs. On the fifth offense, Guo Qi changed his method, dribbling the ball with his back to face Xiao Yao with the technique of a center forward hitting the inside line, and slowly squeezed into the three-second zone. Seeing that the distance was about the same, Guo Qi leaned back hard with her upper body, then turned around and shot a jumper. This offensive method is the only offensive method Guo Qi has used after switching positions to the inside in a professional league game, so Xiao Yao lowered his body slightly to stabilize his center of gravity when Guo Qi leaned back hard with his upper body.

At the same time that Guo Qi turned around, Xiao Yao had already taken a step and jumped up.

In order to avoid being blocked, Guo Qi's turnaround jump shot was added with a back, but Xiao Yao's timing was very good, and the whole person jumped forward, so this time Xiao Yao still blocked Guo Qi's shot route. Compared with Zhikong, the two of them are equal. It is impossible for Guo Qi to rely on Zhikong to wait for Xiao Yao to fall before shooting, so he can only temporarily adjust the arc of his shot, hoping to pass Xiao Yao's blocking palm. As a result, the basketball was still touched by Xiao Yao's middle finger in the air, and the entire parabola changed. In the end, the basketball hit the outer edge of the basket and bounced off.

"Good shot!" The team members who watched the game from the sidelines began to cheer for Xiao Yao. While it wasn't a complete block, it was a very nice defense. Especially the timing of Xiao Yao's take-off was very accurate, which made up for the gap in height and wingspan between the two very well, and basically completely blocked Guo Qi's shot route. If Xiao Yao's finger fails to touch the basketball in the air, it means that the arc of Guo Qi's shot will have to be changed more. In that case, unless Guo Qi is so lucky that the ball is basically no goal possible.

"Xiao Yao, come on!" Seeing Xiao Yao holding the ball and preparing to attack, the national team members on the sidelines began to cheer for Xiao Yao. Guo Qi, who was in a defensive posture in front of Xiao Yao, heard this, and the muscles in her cheeks twitched involuntarily.

"Don't worry, your teammates sympathize with the weak." Xiao Yao, who clearly saw Guo Qi's expression, smiled and comforted.

Guo Qi resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and stared at Xiao Yao's movements. He had already suffered a loss in the first goal, and he couldn't let Xiao Yao distract himself with words anyway. If Xiao Yao made another three-pointer, he would lose directly.

As soon as Xiao Yao finished speaking, he suddenly started, and the dribble broke through from his right hand. Guo Qi was very focused this time, and immediately turned slightly to the left, and followed Xiao Yao sideways.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Guo Qi, Xiao Yao rushed forward two steps to the right, so he stopped altogether. He dribbled the ball between the three-point line and the three-second line and stopped. At the same time, he straightened up from the posture of bowing and breaking through.

Guo Qi defended well, and when Xiao Yao stopped, he also stopped, still blocking Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao basically had no hope of getting rid of Guo Qi's defense by making an emergency stop.

"The defense is really good," Xiao Yao looked at Guo Qi and said with a smile, "but you follow me so quickly start and stop, can your waist bear it?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Guo Qi finally couldn't help it.

"Aren't there a lot of trash talkers on the basketball court? I don't even count as trash talk. I can't stand this?" Xiao Yao asked with a strange expression.

"I.."

Seeing that Guo Qi was about to speak, Xiao Yao immediately lowered his body, stepped forward with his left foot, and made a gesture of breakthrough.

"Damn!" Guo Qi was startled, and immediately took a step back with her right leg. At the same time, he cursed in his heart: "Damn! This kid talks so much to distract me!"

As a result, Xiao Yao's dribbled right hand did not swing forward, but stepped out with the sole of his left foot to kick the ground. Instead, he jumped back a step. While jumping back, his dribbled right hand had already caught the ball. After jumping back to the ground, he jumped up and shot.

"Take a step back and shoot!" Guo Qi stared. Guo Qi took a step back by himself, Xiao Yao took a step back, the distance between the two had already opened up by two steps, and his center of gravity was still backward, so Xiao Yao's ball, he was completely defensive. no. Now he can only pray that Xiao Yao will not make a shot.

As a result, things backfired, and Xiao Yao made the step-back mid-range shot steadily.

"Damn!" Guo Qi patted the back of her neck in frustration.

"Xiao Yao scored a three-pointer, and Guo Zi will lose if you have one more goal." The shouts of teammates came from the sidelines again.

Guo Qi glared at the unscrupulous teammates on the sidelines, then forced herself to calm down and concentrate on dealing with Xiao Yao's next attack.

This time, Guo Qi closed her ears, turning a deaf ear to Xiao Yao's verbal offensive again, her eyes just staring at Xiao Yao's movements. Therefore, Guo Qi, who had superior skills and experience, successfully blocked Xiao Yao's fourth attack.

After finally getting the offensive ball, Guo Qi is no longer trying to save trouble. When attacking, he completely adopted the style of outside players that he was most familiar with, and patiently tried to get rid of Xiao Yao's defense time and time again by relying on technique and shaking, until he thought that a certain opportunity appeared, and then shot or rushed to the basket Layup.

Guo Qi took out his best attack method, Xiao Yao really didn't have any effective methods. After all, there is a difference in strength between the two. If there is no accident, it is basically impossible for an amateur player to win against a national basketball player.

But when the score was 9 to 3, an accident happened. Probably because the victory was in sight, Guo Qi's psychology fluctuated slightly. As a result, in this attack, when Guo Qi completely got rid of Xiao Yao's defense, he missed a mid-range shot that was close to the top of the three-second zone line, which should be a sure thing for Guo Qi.

Now, Xiao Yao's chance came again.

Xiao Yao didn't expect Guo Qi to miss this mid-range shot without defensive pressure. But Xiao Yao knew that with the current score and Guo Qi's current style of play, this might be his last chance to attack.

This time, Xiao Yao did not use language interference that had no effect on Guo Qi, but chose a simple and rude dribble with his back to the basket like the ball Guo Qi missed the first time.

"What is this for?" Everyone was puzzled by Xiao Yao's choice of attack method this time. With the basketball skills shown by Xiao Yao, everyone has already seen that he is actually a player who plays the perimeter position. Guo Qi uses the center technique because his height is superior to that of Xiao Yao, and he will have a certain advantage after going to the basket next to Xiao Yao's defense. But why Xiao Yao did the same thing, everyone couldn't see why.

Xiao Yao didn't dribble the ball directly from the top of the three-point line to kick off the ball, but dribbled the ball around the three-point line first, and then started to dribble the ball back to the basket from near the baseline. squeeze.

Seeing the two sticking together from near the three-point line to the area on the right side of the basket in the three-second zone, this is basically the shooting point for the center forward to launch an attack. Everyone watching the game expected that Xiao Yao would choose to use it. What kind of way to complete this attack.

Guo Qi's entire center of gravity is now forward. If Xiao Yao chooses to squeeze back hard and then turn over and shoot a jump shot, Guo Qi, who has an advantage in height and wingspan, can easily block Xiao Yao's shot; If he took off and shot directly with a hook on the spot, as long as Xiao Yao raised his arm, Guo Qi's arm would probably be crushed by it. Also because of Guo Qi's height and long arms, it is still difficult for Xiao Yao to have a chance. But in the eyes of everyone, the offensive methods that Xiao Yao can use at this time are nothing more than these two.

Xiao Yao, who had already entered the three-second zone, did not choose any method of attack that the spectators thought, and he didn't even shoot at this point. Instead, he quickly swung his right arm dribbling the ball backwards, and then the whole person immediately slammed Turning around on the left side, sticking to Guo Qi's left body, he turned and went behind Guo Qi. When he received the basketball bounced from the ground, Xiao Yao had already moved from the right side of the basket to the left side of the basket. After receiving the ball, Xiao Yao didn't delay for half a second, and immediately jumped up under the basket, sending the basketball into the basket with a small throw.

At this time, Guo Qi, who turned around, just saw the basketball falling from the basket.

"The person who dribbled the ball from behind passed the ball, and the street ball moves came out!" Several players looked at the court in surprise and said.

"You actually won!" Xiao Yao looked at his hands in disbelief. Although it took advantage of six points, this result was still something he hadn't thought of beforehand. (To be continued.)
