Entertaining Children

   Chapter 918 Response

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

"Not all. My show will also invite some famous amateur players as guests." Rita Mitchell laughed, "but my show has not invited non-American amateur players, let alone I have invited a Chinese star to be a guest. If you can come, you will be the first one!"

   Xiao Yao thought about it for a while and said: "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 the details after the game!"

   "Okay, after the game, I and the people from the show team will contact your team again." Rita Mitchell smiled and raised her arm. She didn't stretch out her hand again this time, but clenched a fist.

   "Okay!" Xiao Yao stretched out his fist and touched her.

After   substitution, Zhuo Zhiyuan did not make his second free throw. After a scramble between players from both sides of the basket, no one got the rebound. In the course of the competition, the basketball was hit by the bottom line of the Eastern Celebrity Team's Ben Skool.

  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 of all players on the field so far. Taking advantage of this time when the Western Celebrities team made a throw-in, the live director cut the big screen and broadcast footage to Xiao Yao, who had just returned to the bench by the Eastern Celebrities.

  Everything went through the camera, and it happened that Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell on the bench whispered to each other, chatting very happily. Seeing this scene, some drum noises also sounded from the audience.

   "Xiao Yao on the bench is chatting with the goddess Rita," Li Jun in 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 anywhere!" Zhang Yuan also laughed.

  Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell heard the voice of the scene, and looked up and found that two people appeared on the big screen of the scene. Both of them are people with a strong sense of camera, and they immediately judged the orientation of the camera lens, and both smiled and waved to the camera.

   Seeing the same expressions and actions of the two, even the frequency of waving their hands was the same, the audience shouted louder.

   "Oh! God is in sync!" Li Jun smiled in the commentary booth.

  On the field, the West Celebrities team's out-of-bounds ball was sent, and the camera cut back to the field. Then everyone turned their attention to the field again.

  After changing into a new force, the pace of the game has become much faster. A minute later, both teams took the opportunity of a dead ball to replace the only former professional player and dispatched a lineup of all amateur players. Without a dedicated organizer, the amateur players of the two teams played a little messy, but it seemed to be 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, the professional players of the two teams and Xiao Yao were not replaced. In the end, the two teams ended the first quarter with a score of 17 to 13, with the Eastern Celebrities leading by four points.

  After a three-minute break, the second quarter begins.

  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, the most eye-catching players in the lineup in the second quarter were not the two of them.

  The Eastern Celebrities team sent Mark Doum, the oldest "boss" of all the players, who was nearly 60 years old. The Western Celebrities team sent out Brandon Brown, the youngest player in the game, who was only twelve years old. The two old and one young are the most conspicuous of all the players. In addition, the assistant coaches of the two sides and the two tall male professional players have personally put on the battlefield.

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

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

  "My kid, if you are your height and weight, you should go to your grandfather's Mark Dom. What is it to prevent me?" Xiao Yao groaned in his heart.

It turned out that when Xiao Yao brought the ball to the top of the arc outside the three-point line of the opponent's half, he reluctantly discovered that the opponent defending himself was the opponent who was only twelve 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 scrawny, couldn't help but a wry smile on his face.

However, Xiao Yao also knows that Brandon Brown’s small body can only play a certain role in interference with the outside point guard. Let alone defend him on the inside, it is to defend the bottom corner and the two. The forwards and shooting guards on the side are also of little use.

They come, the security. Looking at the "little little bit" in front of him, Xiao Yao also had some playful thoughts. Raising his right hand, Xiao Yao slapped the basketball behind Brandon Brown, who was sinking his weight and looking serious, and took 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 Brandon Brown attempting to steal the ball and quickly retracted his left hand. While many players on the court were attracted by his own "playing" Brandon Brown's actions, Xiao Yao swung his left hand backward and passed the basketball from behind to Will Foss on his right. special.

  Will Foster outside the three-point line made a shot that caused the opponent defending himself to jump up, but dropped his arm and drove the basketball one step to his left, and then he took a free shot.

  The basketball shot by Will Foster didn't fall into the basket, but hit the basket and bounced out.

  The Western Celebrities’ basketball players grabbed the backcourt, but saw that the Eastern Celebrities’ players had actively returned to defense and did not launch a fast break. Instead, they gave the basketball to the youngest player in the court.

  The two tallest players on the Eastern Celebrity Team are Joey Bisal and Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao has no interest in tit-for-tat a kid, and when he returned to defense, he retreated to the basket with Joey Bisal.

   "Boss!" When Xiao Yao saw that the opponent was Brandon Brown holding the ball in the process of retreating, he also loudly reminded Mark Dom next to him.

  Mark Domden knows from time to time and stepped forward to force Brandon Brown, and the scene of the oldest player facing the youngest defensive player was formed on the field. The other players on the court also opened up the space on the court very tacitly, leaving them with a one-on-one opportunity.

  Brandon Brown faced the defense of his grandfather Mark Doum. First, a crotch dribble shook Mark Doum's center of gravity, and then broke through from his left hand. Although Mark Dom was swayed by half a step behind, his huge physical advantage allowed him to quickly lean on Brandon Brown during the breakthrough. Brandon Brown felt that the breakthrough was blocked, and immediately it was another sudden stop change. Mark Dom took advantage of Brandon Brown's emergency stop and immediately reached out to copy the ball, but he hit Brandon Brown's arm.

  "Beep~" The referee's whistle sounded, and Mark Doum was fined for a foul.

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

  Carmon Blunt, who served the sideline of the Western Celebrities, still handed the ball to Brandon Brown, and Mark Dom immediately pushed it up again.

  This time, the players of the Western Celebrities did not let Brandon Brown play Mark Dum again, and a Western Celebrities player named Jesse Cambull stepped forward to make a single block for Brandon Brown.

  Under the cover of the players, Brandon Brown successfully broke through Mark Doum's defense and drove the ball to the basket of the Eastern Celebrities. Joey Bilsa and Xiao Yao both turned to face the direction Brandon Brown rushed, but neither stepped forward to block. Joey Bilsa just looked at Brandon Brown and smiled, and Xiao Yao just raised his arm on the spot, meaning it.

  Looking at the two big tall guys in front of him, Brandon Brown didn't hold the ball to make a layup. He stopped near the three-second line and shot the basketball.

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

   "Yeah~"

   Seeing the youngest "kid" Brandon Brown score, cheers rang out 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 hoop, stepped on the outside of the bottom line, raised his foot, raised his arm and threw the basketball towards the opponent's half of the court. attack.

  The most active player in the Eastern Celebrity's fast break was Rita Mitchell, who was on the outside line. She received a basketball thrown by Xiao Yao near the center line and rushed to the basket of the Western Celebrities with the ball.

  Rita Mitchell rushed into the three-second zone and started with the ball, preparing for a three-step layup. As a result, just after the basketball shot, he was slapped out with a big hat by the Western Celebrities player Zach Haywood who came up from behind.

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

   "Wow~" such a block, also made the audience exclaimed.

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

  The two defensive players under the Western Celebrity basket saw Xiao Yao pass Brandon Brown through the crotch, entered the three-second zone and started with the ball, and immediately raised both hands to block. Xiao Yao, who was in the air, faced the four raised arms and didn't act stubbornly. He raised the basketball with his right hand and handed the basketball to his left, and then threw the basketball from the back of his head to his right with his left hand. At the mid-range position on Xiao Yao's right, "Boss" Mark Dum received the basketball from Xiao Yao and immediately shot the ball.

   "Ah~"

To say that the player with the largest number of relatives and friends this time is undoubtedly the "boss" Mark Doum. Three generations of his family’s grandparents came to the scene, and the number of them almost reached double digits. Row position. Seeing the "boss" make a shot, a dozen people behind the technical stage on the sidelines screamed loudly, causing the people on the technical stage and the commentary stand in front to shrink their necks unconsciously.

   Amid the screams of the "Boss" relatives and friends, the basketball fell accurately into the hoop. The "boss" scored two points, and Xiao Yao's data also added an assist.

  Offensive and defensive conversion. After the Western Celebrities took the baseline, they still handed the basketball to Brandon Brown. In the face of Mark Dom's defense, Brandon Brown did not choose to break this time, but handed the basketball to his teammate Anthony Morrel at the bottom line.

  Anthony Morrel broke through to the basket after receiving the ball, Xiao Yao immediately greeted him, and Mark Dom on the side also let go of Brandon Brown and turned to help defend. Facing the two defenders, Anthony Morrel threw the ball to the outside and passed it back to Brandon Brown.

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

  "Wow~" As a result, the cheers were turned into a burst of exclamation, because Brandon Brown's long shot was firmly covered.

  When Anthony Morrel passed the basketball to the outside line, Xiao Yao, who was originally on the three-second line defending, squeezed Anthony Morrel and Mark Doom, and jumped out with the basketball. When Brandon Brown made a shot, Xiao Yao, who was two steps away from Brandon Brown, raised his arm and jumped up.

  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 basketball in the ascending stage had not passed the palm of Xiao Yao's raised hand.

  "Go to your mother's basketball dream!"

Xiao Yao, who took off with all his strength, screamed in his heart, waved his palm out without hesitation, and slapped the basketball in the air onto the audience.

  After landing, Xiao Yao smiled in front of the a little confused child, and made a helpless gesture of shrugging his shoulders.

   After exclaiming "Yue~", there were some sporadic boos on the scene.

   "Yang, didn't you say you want to keep your strength in the first half? Why do you work so hard?" Joey Bilsa came over and patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder with a smile.

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

   "Yang, how do you bully the kids?" Will Foster also came over and patted Xiao Yao, smiling and teasing.

   "They can build girls, why can't I build kids?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "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, "Have you heard? Young, this is a response to your Garita just now, it's your fault!"

   "What?" Zach Haywood exaggeratedly opened his arms and exclaimed.
