Entertaining Children

After Xiao Yao made an additional free throw, the game continued.

At this time, the blue team has also switched to man-to-man defense. Yu Junzhe and Evans of the red team were not on the court, Xu Yue was playing point guard, Chen Nuo was defending her, and Xiao Yao was assigned to guard Zhuo Zhiyuan. After Xu Yue controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, instead of giving the ball to Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was stuck inside and then raised his hand to ask for the ball, he broke through and gave the ball to Feng Chengzhi, who opened up an open space on the outside. Feng Chengzhi was unguarded In the case of a long-range three-pointer.

Looking back, the blue team still handed the ball to Xiao Yao first when attacking. This time it was no longer Cai Yue defending Xiao Yao, but Feng Chengzhi who was about the same height as Xiao Yao. Feng Chengzhi did not press close to the body, but let Xiao Yao smoothly dribble the ball to the frontcourt.

This time, Xiao Yao didn't rush hard either. While dribbling along the three-point line, he found that Liu Minghao ran out of space outside the three-second line on the weak side, so he passed the ball without hesitation. Liu Haoming immediately jumped up to shoot after receiving the ball, and made a mid-range shot.

After playing for about four minutes, Xiao Yao was replaced again to rest.

When Xiao Yao took a break, the difference between the two teams was eight points, and the blue team was still ahead. During the fourth quarter, Xiao Yao made a mid-range shot and added a previous 2 plus 1, scoring a total of five points. At the same time, he sent three assists, grabbed two rebounds, and gave back Zhao Yunfei of the red team made a layup and blocked a block. However, in these four minutes or so, Xiao Yao took four shots and only scored two goals, and he did not have the 100% shooting rate in the third quarter.

With 2 minutes and 15 seconds left in the game, there was a dead ball situation in which the basketball was kicked out of bounds. At this time, the point difference between the two teams is in single digits, and the outcome is still in suspense. Both teams took advantage of this dead ball opportunity to make personnel adjustments, and sent the strongest lineup for the final decisive battle. Xiao Yao also appeared on the field again.

After the strongest lineups of the two teams played, the situation on the court entered a heated state. The red team did not carry out a targeted defense against Xiao Yao, but played a full-court press of the whole team. The red team pressed the whole court, and the speed of offensive and defensive transitions on the court was raised to a higher level. The number of times the two sides played positional battles decreased, and the number of fast breaks also increased significantly.

In the first one and a half minutes, Xiao Yao didn't score, but sent out two assists again, grabbed two rebounds, and contributed a high-altitude ball interception steal and a block.

Through a period of full-court pressing tactics that spared no effort, the red team also caught up with some points. But with 35 seconds left before the end of the game, the red team was still 3 points behind the blue team. At this time, it was the blue team's possession of the ball, and at this last moment, they gave it a go and implemented foul tactics.

The so-called foul tactic is that the team behind the score in a basketball game fouls the opponent's player with the ball in advance when there is not much time left in the game, and sends the opponent to two free throws. If the free thrower makes the second free throw, the ball will automatically go to the side behind. If the free thrower misses the second free throw,

The defensive player also has an advantage in the position of grabbing rebounds, and the lagging side can get the ball to launch an attack. If the free throw player makes two free throws, the trailing team can also recover a point by making a three-pointer when attacking. If the free throw player misses the penalty, the trailing side can recover more points.

As the game was about to end, the red team fouled more than four times in this quarter. As long as they fouled, the blue team would make free throws, which also provided conditions for them to conduct foul tactics.

And the foul tactics of the blue team against the red team seem to be psychologically prepared. When the red team played a full-court press before, Guo Qi, who was tall and skilled in handling the ball, advanced with the ball. However, with 35 seconds left in the game, Guo Qi took the initiative to go outside the bottom line. Served and passed the ball to Xiao Yao who came back to respond at halftime.

Xiao Yao speeded up and ran towards the bottom line of his side, threw away Zhuo Zhiyuan who was defending behind him and received a pass from Guo Qi, but before his arm could be raised, Zhuo Zhiyuan stretched out his hand from behind Xiao Yao , slapped Xiao Yao on the arm.

"Di~" As expected, the referee whistled Zhuo Zhiyuan's foul, indicating that Xiao Yao of the blue team got two free throws.

At this time, Xiao Yao did not use the funny urinal-style free throw method, but used conventional shooting techniques to make free throws.

Xiao Yao made two free throws steadily, and then quickly retreated with other teammates.

The leading blue team did not press the whole court, but all retreated to the three-point line of their own side, spread out and stood in a defensive formation. When the red team plays foul tactics, the biggest possibility is to rush to shoot three-pointers, so the five members of the blue team are basically evenly distributed to the five points on the three-point line, all standing on the outside, and no one stands on the basket to defend the inside. .

Jiang Qiao from the red team picked up the basketball and walked outside the bottom line and quickly passed the ball to Yu Junzhe who ran near the center line. Yu Junzhe immediately passed the ball to Xu Yue who was at the top of the three-point arc. Facing Chen Nuo's close defense with a penetrating shot, Xu Yue dribbled the ball and approached Evans along the three-point line. Evans immediately nudged Bielsa in front of him and ran over to meet Xu Yue. Evans and Xu Yue made a cross movement, took the basketball from Xu Yue from behind Xu Yue, and used Xu Yue's screen to make a three-point jump half a step away from the three-point line shot.

As soon as Xiao Yao saw Evans shot, he immediately turned around and ran to the basket to protect the rebound. Evans' long-range three-pointer hit the inner edge of the basket, and after bouncing, it did not fall into the center of the basket, but fell from the outside of the basket. Xiao Yao stuck Zhuo Zhiyuan, who followed in to grab an offensive rebound, behind him, jumped up and took off this crucial rebound. Zhuo Zhiyuan jumped up with Xiao Yao, but because Xiao Yao was stuck in a more favorable position, he was not able to grab the offensive rebound through Xiao Yao, so after landing, Zhuo Zhiyuan slapped him again without hesitation. It hit Xiao Yao on the arm.

"Di~" The referee's whistle sounded, calling Zhuo Zhiyuan for a thug foul, and also made a gesture to Zhuo Zhiyuan to end. It turned out that at this time Zhuo Zhiyuan had already got his sixth personal foul and was sent off.

After the red team replaced Shi Jingsheng, Xiao Yao walked to the opponent's half to make free throws.

This time, Xiao Yao hit two free throws again, and the blue team's lead expanded to seven points. With about 20 seconds left in the game, the blue team can basically be considered as a winner.

But at this time, the red team still did not give up, Xu Yue kicked off the bottom line and handed the ball to Yu Junzhe. After Yu Junzhe quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he didn't stop, and he didn't pass the ball to Evans. Instead, he dribbled towards the blue team's basket.

Since Yu Junzhe still wanted to play, Guo Qi did not give up on defense, and followed Yu Junzhe into the basket. And Bielsa also turned around and ran to the basket to prepare to help defend and protect the rebound.

After Yu Junzhe rushed into the three-second zone, he took the ball and started for a layup. Although Guo Qi jumped up, she didn't defend with all her strength. He didn't want to foul at this time and give the opponent a free throw opportunity, and he also felt that it didn't matter much for the red team to get two points at this time. But after Yu Junzhe jumped into the air, he didn't make a layup, but threw the basketball in the air to Evans who was standing outside the three-point line.

"Damn!" Guo Qi looked at the basketball and found that Evans was no longer guarded, so she couldn't help but cursed in her heart. If Evans hits a three-pointer at this time, it is uncertain whether the red team will regain hope and continue to use foul tactics.

However, before the basketball flew into Evans' hands, a hand suddenly stretched out from the flight path of the basketball and broke the ball away.

It turned out that Xiao Yao quietly moved towards Evans when he saw Yu Junzhe break through for a layup and Bielsa followed up to the basket. At this time, it is useless for Yu Junzhe to shoot two points. If he wants to get two points, let him take them as much as possible. The red team's most accurate three-pointer is Evans. Seeing that Bielsa left Evans and went to the basket, Xiao Yao prepared to go to defend Evans. As a result, before he ran to Evans, the basketball flew past him, and he reacted very quickly to break the ball.

The ball was originally an attack by the red team, and no one was defending Xiao Yao closely at this moment. After stealing the ball, Xiao Yao immediately dribbled towards the opponent's half.

"One deduction! One deduction!" At this time, there was no one in the red team's half. Seeing Xiao Yao steal the ball and rush towards the empty red team's half, many spectators shouted excitedly.

Xiao Yao, who stole the ball and counterattacked, glanced back and found that no player from the red team was catching up, so he dribbled the ball and stopped near the three-point line in the red team's half, as if he was about to use up the last ten seconds bell.

"Woo~" Seeing Xiao Yao stop, the audience who shouted excitedly also booed.

Xiao Yao smiled indifferently and waved to the audience, signaling that he would not hit the last ball.

Seeing that Xiao Yao stopped playing, the red team seemed to give up. Still no one ran back and fouled Xiao Yao or tried to break Xiao Yao's ball, allowing the last ten seconds to return to zero.

"The game ended, and the final score was 102 to 95. The blue team won the final victory by seven points." He Jian announced.

"If there is no accident, there is no suspense about the MVP of this game." Zhou Qun looked at the statistics and said, "30 points, 15 rebounds, 15 assists, a large triple-double, and four steals With three blocked shots, Xiao Yao's stats are even more impressive than those of several professional players on the field. Except for Xiao Yao, it is impossible to give the MVP to anyone else."

On the court, the players of the two teams greeted each other with high fives or hugs and then returned to their respective benches. Several referees also left the field holding basketballs. The host at the beginning returned to the field with a microphone.

"At the end of the game, the blue team won the game with a score of 102 to 95. Let's congratulate the coach and all the players of the blue team first." The host held the microphone and pointed to the blue team's bench. .

Under the command of the host, the audience stood up from their seats one after another and gave the blue team applause and cheers. All members of the blue team stood up from their bench seats, bowed to the audience, and then waved.

"Of course, we are also very grateful to the coaches and players of the red team, thank them and the stars of the blue team for giving us such a wonderful game." The host pointed to the bench of the red team.

After another burst of applause and cheers from the audience and members of the red team stood up to express their gratitude to the audience, the host also brought the topic to the last item of tonight's game, which was the announcement of the MVP candidate for this game.

"The next step is to announce the name of the player who won the MVP of this game." The host announced loudly, "The MVP winner of this game is ~Xiao Yao!"

"Wow~" There was another burst of cheers at the scene, mixed with some boos.

"Xiao Yao scored 30 points, 15 rebounds, and 15 assists in this game, and won a triple-double, as well as four steals and three blocks. He deserves the MVP of this game!" Host Then he said, "The next special guest for this game is Chen Yang, the new vice chairman of the China Basketball Association, and Ms. Zhou Fangyan, the president of our main sponsor Haiyan Video, to present awards to Xiao Yao together."

Xiao Yao stood up from the bench with a smile, and walked onto the court amidst applause and cheers from the audience. Chen Yang and a stylishly dressed middle-aged woman in her forties also walked into the stadium under the guidance of two hostesses.

Chen Yang and Zhou Fangyan declined each other. Chen Yang took a bowl-shaped trophy with a base from the hostess wearing a vest, shorts, and sneakers and handed it to Xiao Yao, while Zhou Fangyan took it from the hostess. A notebook in the form of a certificate was spread out and handed to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao took the things with a smile, and after shaking hands with the two, he held an object in each of his left and right hands and raised it to the audience, and there was another burst of applause at the scene.

"Looking at your performance today, I regret it again." Chen Yang clapped his hands and whispered into Xiao Yao's ear, "A few years ago when you took pictures for the men's basketball team, I should have You got into the youth team of a professional club. Maybe at this time, you can play in the professional league or even enter the national team."

"Brother Yang, can you let me go?" Xiao Yao smiled wryly, "If I really want to play basketball, your league theme song will be lost."

"Forget it, you didn't listen to me when you were five years old, and even less when you were seventeen." Chen Yang sighed, "Don't forget about the theme song, I'm still waiting."

"Don't worry, I won't forget, I will definitely give it to you before the 20th!" Xiao Yao said.

After the photographer at the scene stood up and took a group photo of the three of them, Chen Yang and Zhou Fangyan left under the guidance of Miss Etiquette. Xiao Yao was left behind by the host and asked him to talk about his feelings about winning the MVP.

"It's a great honor to participate in tonight's game, and it's a surprise to receive this award. I'm very happy!" Xiao Yao said simply, "Thank you coach and teammates for your help, thanks to your opponents for their excellent performance, and thank you to the audience Friends for their support. Thank you, thank you all!"

"Is this the end?" the host asked.

"It's over!" Xiao Yao nodded, then shook his head and continued, "By the way, our Huaxia Professional Basketball League will start at the end of the month, and there will be the Women's Basketball World Championships in March next year. I hope everyone will Pay attention to our basketball league and women's national team, and cheer for our basketball players!"

"I asked you to give a testimonial, but you have promoted the basketball league and the women's national team?" The host was speechless for a while.
