Entertaining Children

After a three-minute intermission, the second quarter began.

In a normal professional game, the opening stage of the second quarter is mostly dominated by substitute players, but in the opening stage of the second quarter of this exhibition game, both the red and blue teams have formed a very strong lineup. The blue team sent all three professional players and Xiao Yao, and the red team also sent all three professional players and Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was replaced after playing for about ten minutes in the first quarter. In addition, Zhang Chao of the blue team and Shi Jingsheng of the red team are also young, strong, tall players who played fairly well in the first quarter.

Since the blue team got the ball at the jump ball at the beginning of the first quarter, the red team had the ball at the beginning of the second quarter, and the red team took the lead in attacking.

The blue team is still playing a zone defense tactic, but because Evans made consecutive shots to chase points at the end of the first quarter and felt very good, so the blue team's defensive staff also made some adjustments, putting Bielsa on the outside to defend against Evans. Vince. At the same time, due to Xiao Yao's outstanding performance in the fast-break ball in the first quarter, the head coach put Xiao Yao in the defensive position on the outside, and Zhang Chao, Chen Nuo, and Guo Qi stood in three defensive positions closer to the basket. Location.

The red team is still controlled by professional player Yu Junzhe. After dribbling the ball into the frontcourt, Yu Junzhe first passed the ball to foreign aid Evans. Facing the defense of his old opponent Bielsa, Evans did not force a shot, but quickly passed the ball to Zhuo Zhiyuan in the bottom corner.

After receiving the ball, Zhuo Zhiyuan dribbled a step towards the basket along the baseline, and then faced Guo Qi's defense and shot a fadeaway jumper. The basketball hit the basket and popped out, but Xu Yue, who swam to the inside, overwhelmed Chen Nuo and grabbed the offensive rebound. After landing, she immediately shot a small throw, avoiding Chen Nuo's block, and threw the ball under the basket. .

18 to 17, the red team overtook the blue team for the first time in the score.

The blue team serves from the baseline. Chen Nuo caught the basketball that fell from the basket, stood outside the bottom line with one foot, and threw the basketball to Guo Qi in front of him. Then he raised the other foot and landed on the court, facing the opponent's half court. run away.

What is quite surprising is that Guo Qi did not dribble the ball forward after receiving the ball, but threw the basketball to Xiao Yao who was standing near the three-point line of his side, and ran towards the opponent's half empty-handed. This also means that in the presence of Guo Qi, the blue team actually handed over the task of organizing the ball to Xiao Yao.

However, considering Xiao Yao's performance of five assists in the first quarter, it seems reasonable to do so. Thinking of Xiao Yao's wonderful passes in the first quarter, the audience couldn't help but get excited.

Dribbling the ball slowly to the frontcourt, Xiao Yao did not raise his left hand to draw a circle to ask his teammates to move, but pointed to the floor in front of him. Guo Qi rolled his eyes. He was already in the bottom corner and walked around to the left side of the red team player Shi Jingcheng who was defending Xiao Yao from the outside. He clasped his fists and crossed his chest to help Xiao Yao set up a one-block screen.

Xiao Yao immediately dribbled the ball to the right.

Yu Junzhe, who followed Guo Qi to the outside line, immediately changed positions with his teammates and defended Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao didn't force Yu Junzhe, who didn't fully stand on the defensive position, but quickly passed the basketball to Guo Qi, who turned around and ran to the free throw line after finishing a single-block screen, completing a standard pick-and-roll cooperation .

At this time, Shi Jingsheng, who was on defense, had already been thrown behind by Guo Qi. After receiving the ball, Guo Qi jumped up and made a shooting posture. Evans under the basket had to take a step to defend Guo Qi and jumped up to block the shot. Facing Evans' jumping defense, Guo Qi did not shoot, but passed the basketball in the air to Zhang Chao who cut into the basket. When Zhang Chao received the ball, he was behind Evans, under the basket and unguarded, and made a steady shot from close range under the basket.

Although there was no direct assist, the pick-and-roll cooperation between Xiao Yao and Guo Qi was completed beautifully. Xiao Yao played the ball very decisively and quickly, and the position of the pass was also in place. After receiving the ball, Guo Qi can take off and shoot with almost no adjustments. Even if Evans defends, there is still a certain distance from Guo Qi. Even if Guo Qi makes a direct shot, it is difficult to be blocked, but he chooses In a more secure way, he passed the ball to a teammate who was closer to the basket. For the wonderful cooperation of the blue team, the audience also gave a burst of applause.

19 to 18, the blue team also successfully surpassed the score again.

In the next few rounds, the two teams suddenly lost their touch and neither scored.

Although Xiao Yao also passed a few good shots during this period and gave the basketball to the open teammates, the red team kept the basket tighter, and the blue team got a few open mid-range and long-range shots from the outside. The teammate with a bad touch didn't make a shot, so Xiao Yao's assists also stayed at five in the first quarter. During this period, Xiao Yao, who hadn't taken a shot in the first quarter, also tried to shoot himself. Unfortunately, he didn't make any mid-range and long-range shots in the open space.

But Xiao Yao is not without gains. Although the scoring and assists have not changed, Xiao Yao has a better awareness of recovering and protecting rebounds, and his judgment on the landing of the basketball after it bounces is also very good. He grabbed two defensive rebounds that bounced farther after the opponent's shot hit the basket. Weaving Shadows

It was not until more than two minutes later that the score on the field changed again.

This is a red team attack.

Due to the poor collective feel of the two teams, the blue team also strengthened the defense at the basket, and the red team also played more patiently and did not shoot blindly from the outside. After a few passes, Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was holding the ball, dribbled the ball towards the basket of the blue team. Facing the basket and jumping high, Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had already started with the ball under the hood of Guo Qi, did not force a shot, but threw the basketball to Yu Junzhe at the top of the three-point arc from the outside.

Originally retracted a little, Xiao Yao, who stood at the free throw line to defend, strode into the passing line between Zhuo Zhiyuan and Yu Junzhe, and stretched out his left hand to block Zhuo Zhiyuan's basket.

Xiao Yao's interception did not directly copy the basketball into his hands, but hit the basketball in front of him. Since he was already close to the three-point line, there was no one in front of Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao immediately rushed up two steps quickly, controlled the basketball he hit forward, and dribbled the ball directly towards the opponent's half. .

"Xiao Yao steals the ball and breaks fast!" He Jian shouted. Seeing Xiao Yao steal the ball, the two commentators also became excited.

Yu Junzhe in the front side saw Zhuo Zhiyuan's passing action, and he was moving forward to catch the ball, and he was running towards the basket. When he stopped, he turned around and chased Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao had already gone far away. There is no way to chase it.

But he can't catch up, there are others who can catch up. Although Evans, who was standing at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, couldn't intercept Xiao Yao's broken ball, he was not too far away from Xiao Yao at this time, and he didn't need to turn around 180 degrees. Seeing Xiao Yao dribbling the ball towards his own basket, Evans followed Xiao Yao and chased after him.

"Evans chased after him." Zhou Qun said with some surprise, "It seems that Evans is really serious about chasing after him so aggressively!"

After entering the three-point line, Xiao Yao held the ball with both hands and started for a layup. After stepping into the three-second zone in the second step, Xiao Yao, who rose into the air, held the ball in his right hand, straightened his arms, and lifted the basketball high. At this time, Evans, who was running fast, had already rushed behind Xiao Yao, and jumped up with his arms raised high.

"Xiao Yao got up! Evans behind him is chasing very close, and this ball is in danger of being chased and blocked." Zhou Qun said with some concern.

As if sensing the situation behind him, Xiao Yao didn't make a move with the right hand of the basketball he was holding high, but held his chest in the air and retracted his right hand in front of him. In this way, the chasing Evans must have no chance to block the shot, but Xiao Yao, who has already started to fall, has his head under the backboard and is still flying off the court, and it seems that he has no shot angle.

"Huh? Xiao Yao didn't make a shot, and threw the ball behind him. It's a good shot! Bielsa followed up with an alley-oop dunk!" He Jian shouted excitedly.

Although Xiao Yao was not blocked, Evans also successfully blocked Xiao Yao's shooting angle, which seemed like a successful defense. But unexpectedly, before landing, Xiao Yao handed over the basketball to his left hand, stretched his left arm straight behind him, and threw the basketball into the air behind him.

When Xiao Yao stole the ball, Bielsa, who was defending against Evans, was the teammate closest to Xiao Yao on the blue team. Seeing Evans chasing Xiao Yao away, Bielsa also followed and rushed towards the opponent's half. It's just that he started slower than Evans and fell behind the two. Seeing the basketball thrown into the air by Xiao Yao, Bielsa, who had already started to slow down, immediately accelerated again, jumped high and caught the basketball in the air, dunking it into the basket.

"Wow~" Seeing this wonderful alley-oop dunk, many spectators jumped up from their seats, waving their hands and cheering.

Bielsa, who completed the alley-oop dunk, was also very excited, proudly hitting his chest with his fist to the audience.

Xiao Yao on the other side was even more miserable. Xiao Yao, who wanted to pass the ball, put his chest in the air and forcibly stopped some forward momentum, while Evans pursued with all his strength and let go of his speed to rush forward. Xiao Yao, who flew beyond the bottom line and hadn't fully landed, was hit by Evans who was behind him in the air. Being hit by a big black guy weighing more than 200 pounds, Xiao Yao lost his center of gravity in the air. How could he stand still? Among the photographers.

"Ah~ Xiao Yao was bumped by Evans when he was falling, and fell directly into the crowd under the basket. I hope he won't be injured." Zhou Qun said nervously. The favorite concubine is in power: teasing the evil king on the couch

"Woo~" Seeing Xiao Yao fly out, the audience at the scene also exclaimed.

Hearing the exclamation, Bielsa immediately turned his head to look under the basket, and found a figure in a blue jersey among the mess of photographers, hurried over, and Evans stretched out a Hand, pulled Xiao Yao up from the crowd.

He stretched out both hands to take each of Evans and Bielsa's hand, and after being pulled up by them, Xiao Yao immediately let go of their hands, jumped on the spot, and smiled to indicate that he was fine.

Seeing that Xiao Yao was fine, Evans patted Xiao Yao's shoulder with a smile, and gave a thumbs up before leaving to pick up the basketball on the ground. Bielsa smiled and put his left hand on Xiao Yao's head, and patted the back of his left hand with his right hand, and Xiao Yao shrank his head exaggeratedly.

"Haha, it looks like Xiao Yao is fine." Zhou Qun breathed a sigh of relief, and explained to the audience, "Slapping the head is a common celebration for many players in Europe and the United States. Great, this is Bielsa's gesture of appreciation and intimacy towards Xiao Yao. Moreover, Bielsa also deliberately put his own hand on Xiao Yao's head. In fact, he patted his own hand, which can be regarded as considering the culture of the two countries. difference."

"Xiao Yao had the experience of studying as an exchange student in the United States for a year, so he should be able to understand this kind of behavior." He Jian also continued, "He deliberately made such an exaggerated expression, but he is actually acting. "

"The ball just now was really exciting! Xiao Yao was able to pass the ball even when the shot angle was blocked, giving his teammates a chance for an alley-oop dunk. This adaptability is really not easy!" After explaining, He Jian commented on the ball just now.

"Have you noticed? Xiao Yao has already brought this game a little differently. Especially when he is on the court, this change is more obvious." Zhou Qun continued with a smile, "Evans and Bielsa are in the game In the previous interviews, they both said that they should give more performance opportunities to others. At the beginning of the game, both of them were playing "grand ball". However, Xiao Yao steals the ball and breaks fast, and Evans They actually went back to chase and defend. The red team had a hard time chasing points in the first stage, and I guess Evans didn't want the blue team's momentum to be brought up by Xiao Yao again."

"Yeah," He Jian nodded, "Bielsa followed the fast break, probably not because of Evans, because they were the offensive side, and Evans was going to defend. He followed the fast break, probably because of the suffering." The impact of Xiao Yao’s whimsical pass during the fast break in the first quarter, that’s why he actively followed up and responded, probably because he was thinking about how well Xiao Yao could cooperate with him. Of course, Bielsa probably wouldn’t Disappointed, the cooperation of this alley-oop dunk is very exciting!"

Bielsa's dunk not only successfully ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, but also lifted the spirits of the players on the field.

Evans walked outside the bottom line with the basketball and threw it directly to Yu Junzhe who returned to the center line to catch the ball. Yu Junzhe took advantage of the fact that Xiao Yao and Bielsa hadn't returned to the defense, so he directly dribbled and launched an attack.

Taking advantage of this four-on-three opportunity, Yu Junzhe rushed into the basket of the blue team and passed the ball to Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was unguarded outside the three-second zone. After receiving the ball, Zhuo Zhiyuan deceived Zhang Chao, who was rushing up to defend, with a fake shooting action, dribbled the ball into the inside line, and faced Chen Nuo who came up to defend, Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had already started to speed up, made a slight change in his dribble. Xiang, he stuck to Chen Nuo and forced a layup.

Chen Nuo did not occupy a favorable defensive position, but his arms were still raised high. Zhuo Zhiyuan was also disturbed by some Chen Nuo when he made a shot, but he missed the layup that squeezed Chen Nuo.

Zhang Chao took the rebound and quickly passed it to Xiao Yao who had already run back to his own half.

Seeing Xiao Yao turn around and dribble back after receiving the ball, everyone rushed to the red team's half.

Everyone is running back, but the speed is not fast. At this time, the formation on the court was relatively loose. Although it was not a steal and counterattack, it was also an opportunity for a fast break. However, Xiao Yao's dribbling speed was not very fast, but he dribbled the ball at a medium speed and advanced to the opponent's half.

When there were still two steps away from the three-point line, Xiao Yao's dribbled right hand suddenly raised and smashed the basketball hard to the floor in front of him. After the basketball rebounded, it flew high, and when it landed near the bottom line of the red team, it was not far from the basket. Just when most people's attention was attracted by the basketball in the air, Guo Qi suddenly rushed out from behind Yu Junzhe, jumped high and grabbed the basketball in the air, then pressed down with one arm and dunked the basketball into the basket.

"My God! Another one!" The audience went crazy when they saw this ball!
