Entertaining Children

After returning from a timeout, the Western Conference traded amateur Quincy Beasley for former pro Carmon Blunt. ． The most updated Western Celebrity team's substitution adjustment was originally intended to use Carmon Blunt to face the former professional player Joey Bielsa in the East. Unexpectedly, the Eastern Celebrity team took advantage of this timeout to replace him. Joey Bielsa was replaced by actor Jason Danforth.

There is definitely no chance of a fast break after a timeout. After the Western Celebrities sent out the baseline, Robert Foden slowly brought the ball to the front court, and the players on the court settled down. For the Eastern Celebrities, Xiao Yao still stood at the top of the arc to defend the opponent’s point guard. The defense targets of the other three remained unchanged. The new Jason Denfort stood at the 45th corner on the left side of the outside line and did not go too far. Carmon Blunt who went inside.

In this way, Carmon Blunt on the court became the biggest advantage of the Western Celebrities. After Robert Foden reached the top of the arc, he raised his hand and gave the basketball to Carmon Blunt.

Carmon Blunt is more than two meters tall. As a professional player, he can play in the second, third, and fourth positions. In the amateur player's exhibition game, he didn't plan to break through and play hard inside.

After receiving the ball, Carmon Blunt didn't intend to pass the ball, nor did he directly face Jason Denfort for a jumper, but gestured to Robert Foden.

Robert Foden understood, and immediately ran to Jason Denfort's side, setting a single block screen for Carmon Blunt. Carmon Blunt dribbled the ball to Robert Foden's side, Xiao Yao, who was following Robert Foden, stopped immediately, turned around and followed Carmon Blunt.

After Robert Foden finished the screen, he immediately ran to the other side. Jason Denfort was afraid that the two of them would do a pick-and-roll, and seeing Xiao Yao going to defend Carmon Blunt, he switched defenses with Xiao Yao and chased after Robert Foden.

After Carmon Blunt moved to the top of the arc, he stopped, turned to face the basket, lowered his center of gravity slightly, and looked at Xiao Yao who was defending him in front of him with a serious expression.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao was a little puzzled by Carmon Blunt.

When Carmon Blount moved his shoulders, Xiao Yao immediately jumped up with his arms raised. There is no way, the height difference between the two is nearly 20 centimeters, if Xiao Yao does not jump up, there is no way to effectively interfere with Carmon Blunt's shooting. As a result, Carmon Blunt was just a fake move, and he didn't even take off.

After shaking Xiao Yao to jump up, Carmon Blunt did not take the opportunity to break through, but waited for Xiao Yao to fall, and then jumped up with the basketball in his hand, and he still jumped forward this time, which seemed to be intentional Collided with Xiao Yao in the air.

"Damn it! Four points for a foul?!" Xiao Yao immediately understood what the other party wanted to do.

With a yell in my heart, I quickly raised my raised arms back, and at the same time exerted force on my waist and abdomen to stop the momentum of leaning forward, and even turned sideways slightly.

Carmon Blunt really wanted to cheat Xiao Yao into a foul, but he wanted to make the three-pointer and add another free throw instead of three free throws, so he didn't want the two to be strong. They bumped into each other, just wanting Xiao Yao to rub him. As a result, Xiao Yao raised his hand in the air and turned sideways, just avoiding the contact between the two.

Although Carmon Blunt didn't get Xiao Yao's foul, he still made the three-pointer.

"Brant hit a three-pointer!" Li Jun said in the commentary.

"Blount wanted to trick Xiao Yao into fouling the ball, and wanted to score four points. Fortunately, Xiao Yao's reaction was quick and did not let Blount succeed." Zhang Yuan laughed, "I didn't expect it to be just an exhibition game, Blount He actually took out his unique skills."

Before Carmon Blunt retired, he used the outside line to trick defensive players into fouls and play four-pointers was one of his signature styles of play. Naturally, this move could not escape the eyes of those professional basketball commentators.

"Is the Western Celebrities trying to get Xiao Yao out?" Li Jun also laughed, "Although the Celebrities left after five fouls, which is one less than the NBA, the problem is that Xiao Yao fouled once in the first half. None, it might be very difficult to let Xiao Yao's five offenders leave the field."

"The Celebrity Game is an exhibition game, and the referee's penalty scale is generally relatively loose. It seems that no one has been punished for five fouls in history!" Zhang Yuan also continued, "This tactic of the Western Celebrity team is a bit whimsical. .”

In the transition between offense and defense, when Xiao Yao dribbled the ball to the top of the arc in the opponent's half, he found that the four teammates were all being watched closely, so he started to accelerate, and directly rushed to Robert Foden. Robert Foden's reaction and pace were not slow, and he immediately followed Xiao Yao with his arms outstretched.

During Xiao Yao's breakthrough, his eyes were also flicking left and right. Finding that apart from Robert Foden, no one else from the opponent came to help defend, so he made an emergency stop jumper outside the three-second zone.

Offense is active, defense is passive. As a passive defender, he is relatively at a slight disadvantage. What's more, Xiao Yao's previous breakthroughs were either passing the ball, layups or dunks, and he has never shot in the middle and long distances. Robert Foden didn't expect Xiao Yao to make an emergency stop. During the retreat process, he was too late to catch up, and was suddenly thrown away by Xiao Yao by more than one step. Although he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and raised his arms to jump up, it did not interfere much with Xiao Yao's shot.

Without much interference, Xiao Yao's mid-range shot made a steady hit.

"Xiao Yao made a breakthrough and made a mid-range shot with an emergency stop!" Li Jun on the commentary seat said with a smile.

"This goal can be said to be Xiao Yao's single victory against Foden!" Zhang Yuan also said with a smile, "I don't know if Foden will pay Xiao Yao back."

After the transition between offense and defense, Robert Foden really directly attacked Xiao Yao. However, Xiao Yao had already been forced by Robert Foden once before, so he had some experience this time. As soon as Robert Foden moved his shoulder, Xiao Yao immediately adjusted his center of gravity and prepared to retreat. When Robert Foden accelerated and started, Xiao Yao immediately started to back up and followed Robert Foden's footsteps.

Zhuo Zhiyuan at the basket saw Robert Foden rushing towards Xiao Yao from the right, and immediately moved a step to the left, which not only opened up the space under the basket for Robert Foden, but also gave Robert Foden a breakthrough Dividing the ball creates a passing lane.

However, Robert Foden didn't hit Xiao Yao directly to the rim, nor did he pass the ball. Instead, just like Xiao Yao's last shot, he made an emergency stop jumper when he rushed near the sideline of the three-second zone.

Xiao Yao was also shaken by Robert Foden's sudden stop, but his reaction was very fast, he immediately stepped forward, raised his arms and jumped up. Xiao Yao's height is about the same as that of Robert Foden, but because he is ten years younger, he is much better than Robert Foden in terms of jumping. When Robert Foden made an emergency stop to shoot a jump shot, Xiao Yao's hand was also sealed in front of him.

Under Xiao Yao's interference, Robert Foden missed this shot, and the basketball bounced out after hitting the rim.

Zhuo Zhiyuan and Ben Skool at the basket jumped at the same time to grab the rebound. Ben Scull, who is physically stronger, touched the basketball first, but couldn't control it. Before he could catch the basketball in his hand, Zhuo Zhiyuan, who also jumped up but in a slightly worse position, reached out and hit the basketball, knocking it out of his hand.

When the basketball hit the rim, Xiao Yao and Robert Foden had already landed. Seeing that the basketball was hit by Zhuo Zhiyuan to the bottom line on the right, Xiao Yao and Robert Foden started to rush towards the landing point of the basketball at the same time.

Xiao Yao jumped up first and grabbed the basketball in the air, but judging from Xiao Yao's momentum, he would definitely step outside the baseline when he landed. Xiao Yao, who was in the air, also knew this, so before he landed, he hugged the basketball with both hands and threw it behind him with all his strength.

Xiao Yao used both hands for this toss, with considerable strength and a high arc. The basketball crossed the Eastern Celebrities' half court and flew straight to the opposite half court.

When the basketball flew towards the Western Celebrities' half court, a figure in a blue uniform rushed over first, followed by a figure in a golden uniform about two or three steps behind. .

"It's Rita again!" Li Jun in the commentary shouted.

"She's really the most aggressive player in the East!" Zhang Yuan sighed with a smile.

It turned out that when Robert Foden made a shot, Rita Mitchell turned around immediately, ready to rush towards the opponent's half. As soon as she moved, Bill Justin, who was defending her next to her, immediately turned around, ready to run back after her.

When the basketball bounced off the hoop, neither Zhuo Zhiyuan nor Ben Skool grabbed the rebound, Bill Justin was attracted by the ownership of the basketball, and wanted to see who got the ball in the end, but Rita Mitchell saw that Xiao Yao and Robert Foden were going to grab the "second spot", and immediately turned around and rushed towards the opposite half. So by the time the basketball flew toward the Celebrities West half court, Rita Mitchell had already knocked Bill Justin two or three steps away.

Xiao Yao threw the ball with his back to the opponent's basket. Although the basketball flew to the half court of the Western Celebrities, it did not land directly in front of Rita Mitchell. Rita Mitchell had to adjust the direction , ran a small slash to catch the ball, and then turned to the opponent's basket. In this way, Bill Justin, who was chasing after him, was given a chance.

After Rita Mitchell dribbled into the three-second zone under the basket, she did not start with the ball for a layup, but stopped suddenly under the basket, made a shooting posture, chased after Bill Justin, and immediately held up The arm jumped up.

However, Rita Mitchell did not shoot directly, and put down the arm that raised the basketball. After Bill Justin, who was chasing after him, flew in front of her, Rita Mitchell raised the basketball again, hit the basket and shot successfully.

"Wow~" Rita Mitchell succeeded in this fast break, which won the applause and cheers of many audiences at the scene.

"During the fast break, he faked away the pursuers and shot the ball. The goddess played so calmly!" Li Jun, who was on the commentary stand, praised with a smile.

"Mitchell is really good at playing!" Zhang Yuan also praised, "Every fast break is very positive, and he is very clear about his strengths and weaknesses. In the first half, there was a fast break that Heywood came from behind. Catch up and cover it up, this time we changed our strategy.”

After the ball came back, the Western Celebrities finally stopped hitting Xiao Yao. Robert Foden passed the basketball to Bill Justin, who dribbled the ball past Rita Mitchell's defense. Seeing Ben Scull take a step outside, as if he wanted to come out to defend, Bill Justin didn't rush to the basket, and shot directly one step inside the three-point line.

Bill Justin's long-range shot failed, but this time Zhuo Zhiyuan took advantage of the opportunity of Ben Skool's move to the outside line, seized a more favorable position under the basket, jumped up and won this rebound.

After getting the rebound, Zhuo Zhiyuan shot directly under the basket, but under the interference of Ben Skoll who turned around and returned to the defense, Zhuo Zhiyuan also missed the basket shot, and the basketball hit the basket again. out.

This time, Zhuo Zhiyuan took advantage of the bullet speed and quickly jumped up again to get the rebound. However, when he fell, he was squeezed by Ben Skool who moved to the inside, causing his center of gravity to be unstable when he landed. The whole person almost fell, and the basketball in his hand lost control and fell to the ground.

Jason Denfur, who moved to the inside line, immediately leaned over to grab the ball. Zhuo Zhiyuan snatched the ball in his hands quickly, but at this moment he was about to fall down. He was destined to be unable to control the ball, so he rushed Throw the basketball to Scott Carr in front of you before falling down.

At this time, Will Foster suddenly shot out from behind Scott Carl, stretched out his hand and broke the basketball. Will Foster, who successfully steals the ball, dribbles directly towards the opponent's half. Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell followed immediately, responding to Will Foster's fast break.

Will Foster went straight in the middle, Rita Mitchell was on the left, and Xiao Yao was on the right, forming a three-line fast break trend. The Eastern Celebrities have Robert Foden, Bill Justin and the intercepted Scott Carr coming back quickly. Bill Justin followed Rita Mitchell, Robert Foden at the front followed Will Foster, and Scott Karl, who was slightly behind, followed Shaw remote.

Will Foster slowed down slightly and glanced at Xiao Yao who was on the right, then suddenly accelerated and started to layup with the ball. Robert Foden, who was defending him, was slightly shaken by Will Foster, but he was not completely thrown away. He raised his arms and jumped up with Will Foster. Although Will Foster was not blocked by Robert Foden, he was still disturbed and did not make a layup this time.

Xiao Yao, Scott Carr, and Bill Justin on the left all rushed to the basket to grab rebounds when Will Foster made a layup, only the petite Rita Mitchell did not rush to join in the fun .

After the basketball bounced twice on the backboard and the rim, it fell to the side closer to Bill Justin, but Xiao Yao relied on his height and jumping advantages to snatch it off Bill Justin's head before he could. this rebound.

After landing, Xiao Yao waved the basketball in the direction of Rita Mitchell, making a gesture to pass the ball. Bill Justin immediately took a step back, ready to turn around to defend against Rita Mitchell. Xiao Yao didn't pass the ball, but took advantage of Bill Justin's step back, slapped the basketball on the ground, adjusted his body's center of gravity with this dribble, and then pushed against Sisi who was pressing behind him. Kurt Carr, forcibly jumped up and shot under the basket.

"Di~"

"Crack! Swish!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and the basketball bounced off the backboard and fell into the hoop. The referee immediately made a gesture to indicate that the two points are valid, and an additional penalty kick will be added. It turned out that when Xiao Yao forced a shot at the basket, Scott Karl fouled him while defending.

"Strike! Two plus one, Xiao Yao scored and got a chance to add a penalty." Li Jun shouted happily.

"This is Xiao Yao's first time at the free throw line." Zhang Yuan laughed, "We have seen Xiao Yao's back pass tonight, and I don't know if we will see his so-called back pass. Potty free throw? These two moves were pioneered by Xiao Yao in the charity match that year, and I believe many viewers still remember them vividly."

"I also remember that free throw action!" Li Jun also said, "Although the name is not very elegant, and the action looks a bit...but it is indeed a very novel and interesting free throw method. The audience will feel very happy when they see it, it is quite It is suitable for the performance atmosphere of today's Masters."

While the two commentators were talking, Xiao Yao was already on the free throw line. After receiving the basketball from the referee, Xiao Yao did not squat down with the ball in both hands as the two commentators guessed, and made a free throw with the urinal in his hands, but suddenly turned around and stood with his back to the basket .

"What is this for?" Many people showed strange expressions.

"Could it be that Xiao Yao wants to throw it behind his back?" Li Jun, who was on the commentary seat, said with a smile, "Isn't this too casual?"

After turning around, Xiao Yao lowered his head and adjusted his position to ensure that he was standing in the middle of the free throw line, then bent back, and tilted his head back as much as possible, bending himself into a bow shape. After seeing the reflection of the basket behind him, Xiao Yao pushed the basketball backwards with a shooting technique. After the basketball was shot, Xiao Yao straightened up and turned around immediately.

The basketball crossed an arc, hit the center of the box in the middle of the backboard, rebounded and fell into the basket.

"Yeah~" Seeing the basketball enter the frame, Xiao Yao stepped back and raised his hands triumphantly.
