Entertaining Children

"Aren't the guests on your show all NBA professional players and basketball stars?" Xiao Yao asked Rita Mitchell with a smile. ． update the fastest

"Not all of them. My program will also invite some famous amateur players as guests." Rita Mitchell laughed, "But my program has not invited non-American amateur players, let alone I have invited Chinese celebrities as guests. If you can come, you will be the first!"

Xiao Yao thought for a while before saying: "I'm interested, but I'm not sure how long I will stay in the United States, and whether the time allows it. Let's discuss it after the competition!"

"Okay, after the game is over, I and the program team will contact your team again." Rita Mitchell raised her arms with a smile. This time she didn't reach out again, but clenched her fist.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao stretched out his fist to touch her.

After the substitution, Zhuo Zhiyuan missed the second free throw. There was a fight between players from both sides at the basket, but no one got the rebound. In the process of scrambling, the basketball was knocked out of the baseline by Ben Scull of the Eastern Celebrities.

Although Xiao Yao didn't score a point, his performance of four assists, two rebounds and one block in the half quarter is undoubtedly the most outstanding performance among all the players who have played so far. Taking advantage of the gap between the Western Celebrities' throw-in, the on-site director cut the big screen and the live broadcast to Xiao Yao, who had just returned to the bench from the Eastern Celebrities.

Everything in the camera passed, and it happened that Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell on the bench were whispering and chatting happily. Seeing this scene, there were some drumming noises in the audience.

"Xiao Yao on the bench is chatting with the goddess Rita," Li Jun on the commentary seat looked at Xiao Yao in the broadcast screen, and said with a smile, "It seems that Xiao Yao has a good relationship with his teammates!"

"He can play wherever he goes!" Zhang Yuan also laughed.

Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell heard the sound of the scene, and looked up to find their figures appearing on the big screen at the scene. Both of them have a strong sense of the camera, instantly judged the position of the camera lens, and both smiled and waved to the camera.

Seeing that the two had the same expressions and movements, and even waved at the same frequency, the audience shouted louder.

"Hey! The gods are in sync!" Li Jun, who was on the commentary seat, laughed.

The West Celebrities threw a foul, the camera cut back to the field, and everyone turned their attention back to the field.

After replacing a wave of fresh troops, the pace of the game became much faster.

A minute later, both teams took advantage of a dead ball to replace the lone former professional and field an all-amateur lineup. Without a dedicated organizer, the amateur players of the two teams played a little chaotically, but it looked very lively. The only shortcoming was that the scoring rate of the two teams was not very high.

In the second half of the game, neither the professional players of the two teams nor Xiao Yao was replaced. In the end, the two teams ended the first quarter with a score of 17 to 13 and the Eastern Celebrities led by four points.

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

At the beginning of the second quarter, Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell played again. Although they appeared on the big screen in the middle of the first quarter just now, the most eye-catching players in the second quarter's lineup were not the two of them.

The Eastern Celebrity team sent Mark Doom, the oldest "boss" among all the players, who is nearly 60 years old. The Western Celebrities team sent Brandon Brown, the youngest player in the game, who was only 12 years old. The old and the young are the most conspicuous of all the players. In addition, the assistant coaches of both sides and two male tall professional players have personally put on their clothes.

Since the Western Celebrities got the ball at the opening jump ball, the Eastern Celebrities kicked off the ball in the second and third quarters.

Joey Bielsa took the basketball from the referee, threw it to Xiao Yao, and then ran to the bottom line of the opponent's half without any intention of responding to Xiao Yao's remote control of the ball organization.

"Little friend, with your height and weight, you should go to your grandpa's Mark Doom. What's the point of guarding against me?" Xiao Yao complained in his heart.

It turned out that when Xiao Yao brought the ball to the top of the arc outside the three-point line in the opponent's half, he found helplessly that the opponent defending him was the opponent who was only 12 years old, about 1.5 meters tall, and was called by the United States. "Hip-hop genius boy", but Brandon Brown, who looked a little skinny, couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.

But it’s all about making complaints, and Xiao Yao also knows that Brandon Brown’s small body can only play a certain role in interfering with point guards on the outside. The forwards and shooting guards on the side are not very useful.

They come, the security. Looking at the "little guy" in front of him, Xiao Yao also thought about playing. Lifting his right hand, Xiao Yao patted the basketball behind Brandon Brown, who was sinking his weight and looking serious, and caught the bounced basketball back with his left hand.

Brandon Brown noticed the movement behind him, and saw Xiao Yao retract the basketball with his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to try to break the basketball in Xiao Yao's hand.

Xiao Yao saw that Brandon Brown was actually trying to steal the ball, and quickly retracted his left hand. Taking advantage of the fact that many players on the field were attracted by the action of "playing" Brandon Brown, Xiao Yao swung his left hand back sharply, and passed the basketball from behind to Will Foss on his right special.

Will Foster, who was outside the three-point line, made a shooting action, which caused the opposing player who defended him to jump up, but lowered his arms and dribbled the basketball to his left, and then he shot the ball in a leisurely manner.

The basketball thrown by Will Foster did not fall into the basket, but hit the basket and bounced out.

The Western Celebrities' players grabbed the backcourt rebounds, but seeing that the Eastern Celebrities' players had actively returned to defense, they did not launch a fast break, but gave the basketball to the youngest player in the audience.

The two tallest players on the East Celebrity team were Joey Bissar and Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao had no interest in confronting a child, and returned to the basket with Joey Bissar when he returned to defense.

"Boss!" During the process of retreating, Xiao Yao saw that the opponent was actually Brandon Brown advancing with the ball, and loudly reminded Mark Doom beside him.

Mark Dumden understood immediately and stepped forward to force Brandon Brown, and the scene of the oldest player defending the youngest player formed on the court. The other players on the field also opened up the space on the field with a tacit understanding, leaving the two with a one-on-one opportunity.

Facing the defense of his grandpa Mark Doom, Brandon Brown first dribbled the ball under the crotch to shake away Mark Doom's center of gravity, and then broke through from his left hand. Although Mark Doom was shaken half a step behind, his huge advantage in size allowed him to quickly get close to Brandon Brown who was in the process of breaking through. Brandon Brown felt that the breakthrough was blocked, and immediately there was another line change with an emergency stop. Mark Doom took advantage of Brandon Brown's emergency stop and immediately reached out to copy the ball, but it hit Brandon Brown's arm.

"Beep~" The referee's whistle sounded, calling a penalty for Mark Doom's foul.

Because Brandon Brown was not shooting, the second quarter had just begun, and the number of fouls by the Eastern Celebrities hadn't reached yet. There was no free throw for this foul, but the Western Celebrities sent a sideline kick.

Carmon Blunt, the Western Celebrity throw-in, handed the ball to Brandon Brown, and Mark Doom immediately pushed it up again.

This time, the players of the Western Celebrities did not let Brandon Brown single Mark Doom. A Western Celebrity player named Jesse Kamble stepped forward and made a single block for Brandon Brown.

Under the cover of the players, Brandon Brown successfully broke through Mark Doom's defense and rushed to the basket of the Eastern Celebrities with the ball. Joey Bielsa and Xiao Yao under the basket both turned to face Brandon Brown's direction, but neither stepped forward to block it. Joey Bielsa just looked at Brandon Brown and smiled, and Xiao Yao just raised his arms on the spot, expressing his intentions.

Seeing the two big and tall guys in front of him, Brandon Brown didn't hold the ball for a layup, but stopped near the three-second line and threw the basketball.

Although Brandon Brown is young and not tall, the basic skills of basketball are still really good. Although it was a two-handed shot, this almost mid-range shot actually came into the frame hollow.

"yeah~"

Seeing the youngest "little friend" Brandon Brown score, cheers erupted from the bench of the Western Celebrities and the audience.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Xiao Yao turned around to catch the basketball falling from the basket, stepped on the bottom line with one foot, raised the other foot, raised his arms and threw the basketball towards the opponent's half, directly launching a quick attack. attack.

The most active player in the fast break of the Eastern Celebrities was Rita Mitchell, who was on the perimeter. She caught the basketball thrown by Xiao Yao near the center line, and dribbled the ball all the way to the basket of the Western Celebrities.

Rita Mitchell rushed into the three-second zone and started with the ball, preparing for a three-step layup. As a result, just as the basketball was shot, she was slapped out by a cap from Western Celebrity player Zach Haywood who caught up from behind.

After the shot was blocked, Zach Heywood and Rita Mitchell had another physical contact. Rita Mitchell, who is less than 1.7 meters tall and weighs just over a hundred pounds, was touched by Zach Heywood and immediately lost her balance. Fortunately, Zach Heywood reacted quickly and reached out immediately He hugged Rita Mitchell and didn't let her fall.

"Wow~" Such a block also caused a burst of exclamation from the audience.

The Eastern Celebrities opened the ball, and Joey Bielsa, who was standing outside the baseline, threw the basketball high to Xiao Yao, who was at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, Xiao Yao dribbled the ball and took a step back. He suddenly bowed and patted the basketball between Brandon Brown's legs in front of him. He quickly bypassed Brandon Brown from the side and caught the bounced basketball. Then dribbled the ball to the inside.

The two defensive players at the basket of the Western Celebrities saw Xiao Yao passed Brandon Brown through his crotch, entered the three-second zone and started holding the ball. They immediately raised their hands to block. Xiao Yao, who was in the air, was not reckless in the face of the four raised arms. He raised the basketball with his right hand and handed the basketball to his left hand, and then used his left hand to throw the basketball from the back of his head to his right side. In the mid-range position on the right side of Xiao Yao, "Boss" Mark Doom received the basketball from Xiao Yao and immediately took a shot.

"Ah~"

To say that the player with the largest number of relatives and friends this time is undoubtedly the "boss" Mark Doom. All three generations of his family have come to the scene, and the number of people has almost reached double digits. row position. Seeing the "boss" make a shot, a dozen or so people behind the technical stage on the sidelines screamed loudly, which caused the people on the technical stage and commentary booth in front of them to shrink their necks unconsciously.

Amidst the screams of the "boss" relatives and friends, the basketball fell into the basket accurately. "Boss" scored two points, and Xiao Yao's statistics also added an assist.

Offensive and defensive transition, after the Western Celebrities kicked the baseline, they still handed the basketball to Brandon Brown. Facing Mark Doom's defense, Brandon Brown did not choose to break through this time, but handed the basketball to his teammate Anthony Morell at the bottom line.

Anthony Morell broke through to the basket after receiving the ball. Xiao Yao from the basket immediately came out to meet him. Mark Doom on one side also let go of Brandon Brown and turned around to help defend. Facing the defense of the two, Anthony Morell threw the ball to the outside and passed it back to Brandon Brown.

After Brandon Brown received the ball, he shot immediately. Several people on the Western Celebrity bench stood up with their arms raised, ready to cheer for Brandon Brown.

"Wow~" But before the cheers came out, it turned into a burst of exclamations, because Brandon Brown's long-range shot was blocked firmly.

When Anthony Morell passed the basketball to the perimeter, Xiao Yao, who was standing on the three-second line to defend, squeezed away Anthony Morell and Mark Doom, and jumped out following the basketball. When Brandon Brown made a shot, Xiao Yao, who was one or two steps away from Brandon Brown, raised his arms and jumped up vigorously.

Because of his height, Brandon Brown's shooting point was relatively low. When the basketball flew above Xiao Yao's head, the height of the rising basketball hadn't passed Xiao Yao's raised palm.

"Fuck your basketball dreams!"

Xiao Yao, who jumped with all his strength, screamed in his heart, swung his palm out without hesitation, and slapped the basketball in the air to the audience.

After landing, Xiao Yao smiled at the bewildered child, and shrugged helplessly.

"Woo~" After exclaiming, there were some sporadic boos at the scene.

"Yang, didn't you say you had to stay strong in the first half? Why did you work so hard?" Joey Bielsa walked over, patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder with a smile and said.

"My hands itch for a while, I can't help it!" Xiao Yao turned his head and smiled.

"Yang, why are you bullying children?" Will Foster also came over and patted Xiao Yao, teasing with a smile.

"They can cover girls, why can't I cover children?" Xiao Yao smiled wryly, "I thought you were all serious and strict in the competition!"

"Hey, Zack!" Will Foster smiled and turned his head and waved to Zach Heywood and shouted, "Did you hear that? Jan, this is a response to you, Garita, and it's your fault!"

"What?" Zach Heywood exaggeratedly opened his arms and shouted with a glare.
