Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Chapter 205 Playing basketball with Jay Chou!

The basketball stadium in the Olympic Park was crowded and the atmosphere was lively.

A mysterious basketball master came to the museum today. He was only sixteen years old, but his skills were extraordinary, attracting the attention of countless basketball fans.

Jay Chou watched intently for a while in the crowd and couldn't help but admire: "This handsome boy has such a high basketball IQ! He has such comprehensive basketball skills at such a young age, maybe he can enter the NBA in the future..."

Yuan Shiwei interrupted, "It's not that easy to get into the NBA, right? It's useless to just have good ball skills, you also need physical talent, and he's too short."

However, Zhao Zixuan felt that this person looked familiar and might actually be a future star player.

Until he suddenly heard someone on the field shouting a name - "Luka!"

Luca?!
No, no?
Young Luca is really young!

So handsome?
Zhao Zixuan observed the crowd carefully for a while, and gradually, he became more and more convinced that this young man was the future NBA star.

——Luka Doncic!

This is the sixteen-year-old Luka Doncic!
It is totally different from the chubby XL077 in my impression.

Thinking of the opportunity to play with future NBA stars, Zhao Zixuan felt a little itchy.

He suggested: "How about we form a team and go up there to play?"

Jay Chou glanced at the short-statured Yuan Shiwei and said to Zhao Zixuan hesitantly, "But there are only three of us..."

Zhao Zixuan looked around and found that there were many basketball enthusiasts in the venue, so he said confidently: "There must be a lot of people who can play basketball here. I will go find two people to form a team."

Different from the four-on-four half-court basketball that is popular in China, the basketball culture here is more inclined towards five-on-five full-court basketball confrontation.

Therefore, if Zhao Zixuan and his team want to form a team and play, they must get five people together.

Jay Chou sighed with some regret, "I haven't played basketball for a while. If I had known earlier, I would have called Geng Hong over as well."

Zhao Zixuan replied, "Just play around, don't take it too seriously. I haven't touched the ball in a long time."

As he spoke, he took He Jieyu into the crowd.

The latter, with his fluent London accent, easily arranged for them to have two tall teammates who were over 1.8 meters tall.

The communication between the two parties took less than a minute.

Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but praise He Jieyu's English level, and secretly felt that she was worthy of being the daughter of a wealthy family who often traveled abroad.

After waiting for about half an hour, this group of five people who were put together temporarily finally got the chance to play.

As soon as Zhao Zixuan came on the court, he chose to face off against Doncic without hesitation.

Although this opponent is only sixteen years old, his height is taller than Zhao Zixuan.

If it's just a one-on-one situation, Doncic still has the advantage.

However, the charm of basketball does not lie only in one-on-one competition, the tacit cooperation of the team can also lead to victory.

Zhao Zixuan dribbled the ball across half court and cleverly performed a two-on-two wall-to-wall pass with Jay Chou. Zhao Zixuan took this opportunity to break through the defense and enter the paint area.

Facing the inside defense, he chose to pass the ball without looking at the player without hesitation.

The basketball accurately returned to Jay Chou's hands who was not guarded. This was a perfect open shooting opportunity.

But unfortunately, Jay Chou, who had just come on the court, had a poor touch and his shots missed the target, which made Kun Ling, who was watching the game off the court, feel very sorry.

The opponent quickly grabbed the rebound and the basketball was accurately passed to Doncic, who immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Zhao Zixuan reacted quickly and with his amazing speed, he went around behind Doncic like a ghost. With a "pop", the basketball in Doncic's hand was skillfully slapped away by Zhao Zixuan.

Doncic, who lost the ball, was stunned for a moment. He obviously did not expect Zhao Zixuan's speed to be so amazing.

When Doncic came to his senses, Zhao Zixuan had already passed the basketball steadily into Yuan Shiwei's hands with an accurate long pass.

The latter missed the dunk, which drew mocking laughter.

Fortunately, the tall teammate who followed up made a timely tip-in and scored, which did not let Zhao Zixuan's wonderful steal and accurate pass go to waste.

Looking back, Doncic controlled the rhythm and organized the offensive melody.

As he crossed the half-court boundary and confronted Zhao Zixuan, there were sparks of provocation in his eyes.

"Come on!"

He said lightly, as if challenging his opponent.

Zhao Zixuan raised his eyebrows, and fearlessly took a defensive stance, responding: "Bring, it, on!"

His voice was full of confidence and determination.

However, Doncic's actions spoke louder than his words.

Doncic suddenly took a step forward and broke through to the right, and Zhao Zixuan subconsciously moved his feet to defend closely.

But Doncic's breakthrough was a fake. He cleverly used the action of pulling back under his hips to deceive Zhao Zixuan. After passing the ball, he directly chose to take a long three-pointer.

At this time he was still standing at the midfield LOGO position.

"impossible?"

Zhao Zixuan was confused by his fake moves, and his body could not keep up with Doncic's rhythm for a while. He could only watch the basketball draw a beautiful arc in the air and fly towards the basket.

"Shh!"

The basketball went into the net, and the net swayed, making a pleasant sound.

The audience's cheers surged like a tide, and they were shocked by Doncic's wonderful performance.

After scoring the goal, Doncic retreated to defend and shook his finger at Zhao Zixuan, as if to say, "You're still a long way to go."

But Zhao Zixuan smiled, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit. "Interesting." He whispered.

Jay Chou walked up, patted Zhao Zixuan on the butt, and encouraged him, "Don't be discouraged, we will fight back!"

His voice was full of trust and expectation.

Zhao Zixuan's desire to win was completely ignited. He held the ball again and faced Doncic.

"Come on!"

Doncic challenged again, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit.

The corners of Zhao Zixuan's mouth curled up slightly. He deliberately turned his head to look at Jay Chou next to him, and then took advantage of the moment when Doncic's gaze was diverted, he broke through like lightning and rushed to the right.

This is a contest of speed!
Doncic followed closely, but Zhao Zixuan was as fast as lightning.

He accelerated the moment he held the ball, like lightning, easily got rid of Doncic's entanglement, and launched a swift attack on the basket.

The big center in the inside tried to come up to defend. The nearly 1.9-meter-tall defender blocked Zhao Zixuan's offensive route, but he did not hesitate at all.

He quickly adjusted his rhythm, making a swift breakthrough followed by a smooth three-step layup.

His body stretched out in the air. Facing the double-team from Doncic and the big center, he did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he relied on his amazing ability to stay in the air to complete a brilliant windmill-style pull-up move in mid-air.

The basketball jumped out lightly from his fingertips, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, passing through the giant hands of Doncic and the big center that fell at the same time, hitting the backboard accurately, rotating and sliding along the basket, and after two rotations, it finally rolled steadily into the net.

"And, one!"

The audience cheered one after another, and some people thought it was a shocking two-plus-one goal.

The goal is valid, but there is also a penalty!
Zhao Zixuan's attack not only demonstrated his speed and skills, but also his courage and determination.

"Good shot! Zixuan, you hit it beautifully!"

Jay Chou and Yuan Shiwei strode forward and punched Zhao Zixuan firmly on the shoulder, cheering with admiration.

Afterwards, Zhao Zixuan made the free throw and turned around to provocatively raise three fingers to Doncic in the distance.

It was a provocation and a challenge.

His meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Everyone got three points.

Doncic was aroused by this provocative action and his eyes seemed to be burning with the flame of battle.

He took the ball and began to look for Zhao Zixuan's opponent.

The one-on-one duel mode is officially opened.

Doncic's teammates also cooperated very well. They retreated to the outside three-point line and took the initiative to make space for him to launch the attack alone.

Next comes the mutual explosion mode.

Zhao Zixuan couldn't defend against Doncic's attack, and Doncic couldn't stop Zhao Zixuan's attack.

After a while, when it came to the final decisive ball, Doncic, who had long been exhausted, could no longer run and could only stand outside and shoot three-pointers.

However, Zhao Zixuan did not give his opponent any chance to shoot from three points. He resolutely allowed the opponent to break through but not shoot, successfully blocking Doncic's long-range shooting package.

"Your boyfriend is really good at basketball. He's so fast!"

In the crowd, Kun Ling looked at Zhao Zixuan running around the field, her eyes flickering, and she couldn't help but admire He Jieyu beside her.

He Jieyu's heart was filled with sweetness, but on the surface she tried to remain calm: "When he was in high school, he was a frequent participant in sports meets. He always came in second in the 100-meter sprint, and the first place went to a sports specialty student. Our physical education teacher spoke highly of him, and even said that if Zixuan specialized in sports and trained more, his sprint results would be even better."

"awesome."

Kun Ling nodded in admiration, and suddenly saw Jay Chou successfully score the first goal after receiving a wonderful pass from Zhao Zixuan. She stood up excitedly and cheered loudly, her voice so loud that everyone around her looked at her.

Kun Ling didn't care about other people's eyes at all, instead she cheered for Jay Chou even more enthusiastically.

Although He Jieyu was envious, she knew that she could not cheer for her lover as recklessly as Kun Ling did. Her family education and cultivation allowed her to always maintain the image of a lady.

In the end, Zhao Zixuan and his teammates failed to turn the defeat around. After all, their opponent Doncic is a professional basketball player, and his teammates also have good skills.

If Doncic and his team had not experienced a long and fierce battle before and had not been physically exhausted, Zhao Zixuan might not have had the opportunity to fight with his opponents until the last minute to decide the winner.

"Good sister, come over and help me translate, I want to take a photo with him."

Zhao Zixuan did not leave the field immediately after the game. He waved to He Jieyu from a distance.

After hearing this, He Jieyu quickly trotted over.

Zhao Zixuan's English level is somewhat lacking. He can barely speak some daily expressions, but when it comes to in-depth communication, his English becomes a bit awkward.

So he needed He Jieyu as a translator.

When Doncic saw He Jieyu, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. After a brief exchange, he readily agreed to Zhao Zixuan's request for a photo.

He Jieyu personally pressed the shutter for them, and Zhao Zixuan selected a satisfactory photo from them.

He immediately posted a message on WeChat Moments, locating the basketball stadium in London Olympic Park.

—Me and sixteen-year-old Luka Doncic!

This post on WeChat Moments quickly attracted attention and heated discussions, and one of the comments caught Zhao Zixuan's attention.

"You're in London? I'm near you, do you have time to meet?"

From Li Chaoren’s eldest granddaughter, Li Yanning.
