Entertaining Children

This celebrity match is an exhibition match mainly for entertainment. The players are all big-name stars, and the content of the training session is not particularly formal. Before the players arrived, everyone was free to carry out exercises such as passing and catching, shooting, and running, so that the coaching staff had a basic impression.

After all the players arrived and all the players and coaching staff made a formal self-introduction, the training session began directly with the training content of group confrontation. Xiao Yao's East Celebrity team has a total of eleven members. Except for Joey Bielsa, who is also an assistant coach and is destined not to have much playing time, there are only ten regular players, who can exactly play five pairs. A full game of five.

In the training of group confrontation games, head coach Rachel Blunt and assistant coach Joey Bielsa will occasionally interrupt the game, arrange some simple pick-and-roll tactics according to the situation on the court, and then let everyone play in the next game Execute the viewing effect in .

When Xiao Yao arrived at the training arena, everyone could feel Joey Bielsa's fancy to Xiao Yao from Joey Bielsa's attitude towards Xiao Yao. As a citizen of the most powerful country in basketball, some American stars are a little bit unconvinced by Xiao Yao, who is treated differently by Joey Bielsa. They just didn't speak out because of Joey Bielsa's status as a former All-Star player. But after this training session, Xiao Yao's personal ability and tactical comprehension ability of the coaching staff are obviously better than others. Only then did everyone understand why Joey Bielsa took such a fancy to Xiao Yao .

This time the Masters is an exhibition game. These stars participated in this competition, in addition to having a certain sense of victory, their greater desire is to have fun and have the opportunity to express themselves. And when it comes to performance, there's no better chance than scoring. In the training session, Xiao Yao not only demonstrated his overall view and passing ability in personal ability, but also fully demonstrated his selflessness as a ball-handling organizer.

As a capable player who is very willing to help his teammates score, Xiao Yao quickly won the favor of his teammates. After just one training session, the relationship between these American stars and Xiao Yao became very familiar.

The training session only lasted about an hour and a half before it was over. After saying goodbye to his newly-acquainted teammates, Xiao Yao told Sun Tingting that he had something to do in the afternoon and could not go to the airport to pick up the plane, and asked Sun Tingting to pick up Zhao Rui and others who flew directly to Los Angeles today in the afternoon.

Sun Tingting curiously asked Xiao Yao what happened, Xiao Yao only said that it was related to tomorrow's Masters Competition, and Sun Tingting didn't ask for details. Since Xiao Yao still had business to do in the afternoon, and Zhao Rui and the others were friends he grew up with, Sun Tingting had no objection, and happily accepted the task of picking up the plane at the airport, and let Xiao Yao go about his own business.

"Immortals" is already a well-known star band in the United States. Their families are still in Calabasas, but apart from the school dormitory, they all have their own residences in downtown Los Angeles, and they can be considered Los Angeles natives. Xiao Yao didn't let Sun Tingting, who has settled in New York for a long time, go to the airport in Los Angeles alone, and asked Dean and other local friends to accompany Sun Tingting to the airport to pick up the plane.

Xiao Yao only got four family tickets. Besides Sun Tingting, the other three were given to Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan and Zhou Zhihao, three friends who grew up together. These three friends. Because tomorrow is a very special day, Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiguri also came to Los Angeles with their boyfriends.

Among the five friends who grew up together, only Zhou Zhihao is still single, and this time he is the only one who came here by himself. If it wasn't for Xiao Yao who was a player in the Celebrity Tournament when he was young, Zhou Zhihao himself was also very interested in the sport of basketball, and he would not have followed him to be a light bulb and be stimulated anyway.

When he was on the plane, Zhou Zhihao planned to complain that Xiao Yao would not pick a date for participating in the event after meeting at the airport, causing him to be stimulated by being a loner, but when he got out of the passenger passage, he was surprised to find that the person who came to pick him up There is no figure of Xiao Yao in the movie.

Except for Zhou Zhihao, others were also surprised that Xiao Yao didn't come to pick up the plane, but fortunately, there was Sun Tingting among the people who picked up the plane, so everyone didn't feel strange. After Sun Tingting introduced several local friends of the "Immortals" band and Zhao Rui and others to each other, Zhou Zhihao also immediately asked Sun Tingting about Xiao Yao's whereabouts.

Sun Tingting didn't hide anything, and directly told everyone that Xiao Yao still had matters related to the Masters Competition in the afternoon, and he would go back to the hotel to meet everyone in the evening.

Although they are not familiar with each other, since it is Xiao Yao's childhood, the members of the "Immortals" band are also very enthusiastic about Zhao Rui and others. Xiao Yao was not there, and Dean and the others were landlords, so they naturally helped Xiao Yao take up the responsibility of entertaining friends. After sending a few people back to the hotel they had booked, they took a few people around several famous scenic spots in Los Angeles change.

Except for Zhou Zhihao, everyone was considered an entertainment star. Although Zhao Rui and others are all learning acting, Zhao Rui also knows several musical instruments. Lin Qisan, Nina Aiyiguli, and Zhu Zitong all have vocal music lessons in their performance courses, and they are not ignorant of music. Zhou Zhihao's The identity of a boxer is very attractive to boys such as Dean and George. This group of people is similar in age, personality and hobbies, and they have a lot in common. After half a day of contact, they got along very smoothly.

In the evening, when Xiao Yao called Sun Tingting's mobile phone to inquire about Zhao Rui and the others, a group of people had already enjoyed themselves on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

After Xiao Yao rushed to join the crowd, the group of young people became even more lively. It's just that when everyone asked Xiao Yao what he was going to do in the afternoon, Xiao Yao smiled and didn't answer, just saying that he would know tomorrow.

Due to the special day tomorrow, Xiao Yao was going to participate in the celebrity game, Zhao Rui and others arrived by plane in the afternoon, and the group of people didn't play too late. At about ten o'clock in the evening, everyone bid farewell to each other and went back.

Kick-off time for the Masters is around 9:00 p.m. In addition to the previous red carpet ceremony, entertainment performance, pre-match warm-up, admission introduction and other links, the whole event started in the evening. But even so, everyone still has a daytime free time the next day.

It was not the first time for Zhao Rui and Zhou Zhihao to come to the United States, nor was it the first time for Lin Qisan to go abroad. Xiao Yao was not worried about their actions and safety in Los Angeles. Because today's day is special, after getting up in the morning, everyone didn't invite friends and companions, but tacitly acted separately in pairs.

The sad and only bachelor, Zhou Zhihao, was so bored that he remembered the black bassist George who was also a bachelor in the band "Immortals" he met yesterday, who seemed to be very interested in boxing, so he called him and asked him to I found a gym with a boxing gym to vent.

The organizer of the All-Star Weekend Celebrity Tournament arranged pick-up vehicles for all participating stars, but one car cannot accommodate everyone, so Xiao Yao only planned to take Sun Tingting, Fang Yiran and Sun Tingting with him to the arena in the organizer's car. And let Zhao Rui and others go there by themselves.

In the evening, Xiao Yao sent a message to Zhao Rui and others to remind the audience of the admission time, and went back to the hotel with Sun Tingting to clean up, then joined Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi, and waited for the welcome vehicle sent by the organizer of the All-Star Weekend Masters.

The vehicle arrived in front of the hotel on time, and the four of them also arrived at the arena on time. The four entered Xiao Yao's lounge, Xiao Yao changed into a dress, and Pei Minyi helped Xiao Yao do her makeup. Not long after, the organizer's staff came in and informed Xiao Yao to go out to walk the red carpet.

Sun Tingting also left the lounge with Xiao Yao, but instead of walking the red carpet with Xiao Yao, she went to the family seats by the court to find Zhao Rui and others.

Although Xiao Yao himself did not specifically promote the news of his participation in the Masters Tournament, Xiao Yao's reputation in the United States is still very good. Not to mention having several music works that have achieved good results on the billboard, they have also been featured on social news several times in the United States. Even though there are not many fans in the United States, there are still many people who are interested in him among the American people.

When Xiao Yao appeared on the red carpet under the introduction of the location host, the audience beside the red carpet area and other star fans also cheered and screamed a lot. Although these voices are obviously not neat, but in terms of volume alone, the momentum does not seem to be much worse than other American stars.

This is Xiao Yao's second red carpet show, and it is also the first red carpet show abroad, and it is also the first time to walk the red carpet alone, but his performance is still very good. Smiling and waving to the audience on the side of the red carpet, he signed his signature on the signature board in a fluttering manner, all of which were done naturally and appropriately. In the end, facing the instant interview with the location host, he also behaved quite confidently and calmly.

After the red carpet ceremony, Xiao Yao entered the arena, and was caught by the live reporter of Haiyan Video, which had obtained the broadcasting rights of Huaxia Network, to conduct a brief on-site interview. For domestic media reporters, Xiao Yao's attitude is naturally more enthusiastic, always answering all the female reporter's questions with a smile on his face.

After returning to the lounge to rest for a while, Xiao Yao took off his formal gown, changed into sportswear, left the lounge, and sat on the sidelines of the stadium through the player tunnel.

Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi, the two team members, did not have seats on the sidelines, so tonight they could only watch the live broadcast on the TV in the lounge. Xiao Yao didn't ask the two of them to wait for him in the lounge, and they could leave first, but neither of them agreed, and insisted on staying to take care of them. Xiao Yao saw that the conditions in the lounge were good, so he agreed.

Xiao Yao's order of walking the red carpet was arranged relatively late, and the time of appearing on the court was also relatively late. When Xiao Yao came to the East players' bench beside the court, there were already seven or eight teammates sitting and chatting on the bench. Xiao Yao greeted his teammates one by one, and immediately looked up to find his girlfriend and friends at the family table behind.

The seats given to the players' family members by the organizer were not far behind the bench, and Xiao Yao quickly found the four of them. After saying hello to Joey Bielsa, Xiao Yao did not rest on the bench, but stepped directly into the auditorium and sat down with his friends.

"Everyone is on the bench, so it's not good for you to come here alone?" Sun Tingting pointed to the bench below, and said to Xiao Yao.

She didn't think it was too crowded for five people in four seats, but she was worried that Xiao Yao's behavior would be too out of gregarious, which would make other stars have objections to him. If teammates are dissatisfied with Xiao Yao, they may not pass the ball to Xiao Yao later in the game, which will affect Xiao Yao's performance.

"It's okay. I can't run here during the game. I just stay on the bench and have plenty of time to communicate with my teammates." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "And you also went to yesterday's training session. The relationship is not bad, they will not have any problems with me."

Sun Tingting remembered that several American stars in the training class yesterday smiled and asked Xiao Yao to pass the ball to them during today's game, so she put down her worries for the time being.

Xiao Yao sat with the four of them for a while, and all the star players from the two teams arrived. After all the players arrive, it's time to warm up. Joey Bielsa waved to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao waved back, left Sun Tingting and others, and ran to the court to warm up.

During the warm-up, almost all the audience had already entered the arena, and the whole scene was very lively. The Celebrity Game is an exhibition game, and most of the participating players are stars in the entertainment industry. There is no shortage of stars who want to express themselves, and there is no shortage of stars who can play. Therefore, this warm-up time has also become an alternative performance time to warm up for the game. .

Many star players played tricks during the warm-up, and some stars did not warm up at all, and made some funny performances on the side of the court, which caused bursts of laughter and screams from the audience.

Compared with those stars who are extremely expressive, Xiao Yao's warm-up behavior looks much more normal and professional. After exercising his body and moving all the muscles, bones and joints of his body, Xiao Yao picked up a basketball on the sidelines, walked to the free throw line and practiced free throws in an orderly manner. After practicing twenty free throws, Xiao Yao dribbled the basketball at a medium speed and made ten layups, and then ran beyond the three-point line to practice a spot-up three-pointer.

"Yang, is that all you do? Why don't you show it off?" A black youth who dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line asked Xiao Yao with a smile.

He had just won applause and cheers from some in the audience for a hand-changing layup, and this time he was going to run beyond the three-point line to do it again.

"Will, I don't play tricks when I'm warming up." Xiao Yao smiled and said to the black youth beside him.

This young man is Will Foster. He is 28 years old this year. He is a comedian. He is very talented and eager to perform. He is a member of the East Star Team in the Masters Tournament and Xiao Yao's teammate. .

"Same as Daniel?" Will Foster smiled, pointing to the humanity on the other side of the court who was also doing shooting practice, "Are you Chinese people so low-key? No wonder I heard that Chinese people They're all very restrained."

Xiao Yao looked in the direction of Will Foster's finger, and found that he was pointing at Zhuo Zhiyuan, another Chinese star in this Masters Tournament. In this Masters Tournament, Xiao Yao was assigned to the Eastern All-Star Team, and Zhuo Zhiyuan was assigned to the Western All-Star Team. The two were still rivals, and Zhuo Zhiyuan's warm-up area was in the other half.

This is Zhuo Zhiyuan's third Masters Tournament, and Will Foster's fourth time. Both of them participated in the Masters Tournament last year, so Will Foster knows Zhuo Zhiyuan, and his English name is Zhuo Zhiyuan. daniel.

"No, they are different." Joey Bielsa didn't know when he came to the side of the two, and said to Will Foster with a smile, "Young and Daniel have different styles and performances off the court. It’s even more different than acting.”

Joey Bielsa has participated in China's star charity basketball game, and also participated in the NBA's All-Star Celebrity Game last year. He knows Zhuo Zhiyuan better than Will Foster.

"What do you mean?" Will Foster asked curiously.

"When it's game time, you'll know!" Joey Bielsa laughed.
