Entertaining Children

   Chapter 924

  At the beginning of the third quarter, Xiao Yao was again arranged by the coaching staff to play.

  When the players from both sides came on the field, the audience discovered that Xiao Yao, who had performed during the intermission, did not know when he had changed his jerseys and shoes, and quietly returned to the bench of the Eastern Celebrity Team. Seeing Xiao Yao coming on stage, the audience let out loud cheers.

  The Eastern Celebrities fell behind at halftime, and the start of the second half also produced a relatively strong lineup. Big Ben Skuer, fast Will Foster, Rita Mitchell, Xiao Yao and assistant coach Joey Bielsa who felt good in the first half.

  The West Celebrities have a good lineup. Among the former professional players is Robert Foden, who plays guard, and the four non-professional players are Quincy Beasley, Scott Carr, Bill Justin and Zhuo Zhiyuan.

  The third quarter was still kicked off by the Eastern Celebrities. Joey Bielsa stood outside the touchline and passed the ball to Xiao Yao and then quickly ran to the opponent's half, letting Xiao Yao hold the ball to organize the attack.

  After Xiao Yao received the ball, the Western Celebrities had a player close to the defense. The opponent defending Xiao Yao was actually a former professional player, and it was Robert Foden, who played the defender.

   After bringing the ball to the top of the arc outside the three-point line of the opponent's half, Xiao Yao did not force the former professional player in front of him. Seeing Ben Skuer at the basket pressing Zhuo Zhiyuan behind him and occupying a more favorable position, he passed a lob and gave the basketball to the insider Ben Skuer.

  Ben Skool leaned back hard after receiving the ball, and then turned directly under the basket to shoot. This time, Zhuo Zhiyuan's defense was very tough. He raised his left arm to protect his chest, and raised his right hand to jump up.

   Zhuo Zhiyuan’s move did not cover Ben Skool, but it also interfered with him. Ben Skool's shot didn't even touch the basket and fell directly to the other side of the basket.

   "Good shot! This ball Zhuo Zhiyuan defended well. It successfully interfered with Ben Skool's shot and prevented it." Li Jun shouted in the commentary.

   "Maybe I don't want to see Xiao Yao play alone. I think Zhuo Zhiyuan's upswing in the second half is obviously more powerful than in the first half." Zhang Yuan commented.

  Regardless of whether these two Huaxia commentators know that Zhuo Zhiyuan has no publicity about nationality, at least Zhuo Zhiyuan is a Chinese and developed in Huaxia. Of course, they hope that the two stars from Huaxia will have a wonderful performance.

  Scott Carr on the sideline quickly retracted, caught the falling basketball, and then swung his arm and threw the basketball into the opponent's half.

   Robert Foden, who was on the outer line, took a look and immediately rushed to the opponent's half, ready to catch the ball to complete the fast break.

  Robel Foden, who ran two steps, looked back and prepared to adjust the course to catch the ball, only to see a figure behind him jumping in the air, intercepting Scott Carr's fast break pass.

   "Xiao Yao cut off Scott Carl's fast break pass!" Li Jun shouted from the commentary.

  It was Xiao Yao who was facing Robert Foden and running back after Robert Foden to intercept this long pass.

   "Xiao Yao got another steal." Zhang Yuan smiled.

  The place where Xiao Yao intercepted the ball was already in his own half. After landing, Xiao Yao did not dribble the ball anymore, but directly passed the ball to Joey Bielsa who was 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the left.

  Such a quick change of possession also caused the formation of both sides on the court to be dispersed. After Joey Bilsa received the ball, he immediately raised his arm and made a posture to shoot. Quincy Beasley, who defended Joey Bilsa, was a little far away from Joey Bilsa, and at this time he could only raise his arm and jump towards Joey Bilsa regardless.

   Joey Birsa saw Quincy Beasley pounce, and immediately put his arm down again. After swaying Quincy Beasley completely, Joey Bilsa slapped the basketball to the floor and walked inside.

  Inside Zhuo Zhiyuan originally turned around and sprinted to meet his teammate's fast break, but as soon as he ran a step, he discovered that his teammate's pass was broken by Xiao Yao. At this time, he was no longer under the basket, and had already rushed to the edge of the three-second zone. Seeing Joey Bilsa sway Quincy Beasley and then break through inside, Zhuo Zhiyuan immediately made up for it. Scott Carr went to the nearest defender Ben Skool.

  Joy Bilsa saw Zhuo Zhiyuan in front of him, and did not accelerate the breakthrough, but turned around, turned his back to Zhuo Zhiyuan and dribbled the ball on the spot.

  When Zhuo Zhiyuan was considering whether Joey Bilsa was going to make a strong back cut, he saw Joey Bilsa, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly throwing the basketball to his left.

  After Xiao Yao passed the ball, he immediately ran to the opponent's half. When he ran to the top of the arc, Joey Bilsa had already passed Quincy Beasley, and he slowed down slightly, and when he saw Joey Bilsa stop facing Zhuo Zhiyuan , And immediately accelerate the start, rushing to the opponent's basket. As soon as Xiao Yao moved, Joey Bielsa passed the ball. Joey Bilsa passed the basketball to his left, and it happened to fall into the hands of Xiao Yao who cut from the front to the opponent's basket.

  At this time, Quincy Beasley just turned around and prepared to defend against Joey Bilsa. Robert Foden was still behind Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao was temporarily unguarded in front of him. After receiving the ball, he started off. However, this time Xiao Yao didn't make an effort to jump and dunk, instead he jumped up gently, sending the basketball steadily into the hoop by layup.

   "Good shot!" On the way back to the defense, Joey Bilsa smiled and stretched out his palm to Xiao Yao, "But I thought you would do another dunk!"

   "Dunking is very exhausting!" Xiao Yao slapped Joey Bilsa, smiled and shook his head.

   "You~" Joey Bilsa rolled his eyes helplessly.

  Offensive and defensive conversion, the Western Celebrities were dribbled by Robert Foden for halftime. In the first half, Xiao Yao played point guards on offense, forwards on defense, guarding the bottom corner and taking care of the basket. The task of defending the opposing point guard at the top of the arc was left to others, but this time, Xiao Yao Yao took the initiative to change positions with Will Foster, and took the initiative to mark the opponent's Robert Foden.

  Facing Xiao Yao's defense, Robert Foden paused at the top of the arc, and then suddenly accelerated. He didn't even make a fake move, and went straight.

  Robel Foden has only retired for about two years, and his body and condition are maintained fairly well. But after all, he is a former professional player who has retired, and his abilities in all aspects are still incomparable with the peak of his career. Although Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed by Robert Foden's aggressiveness, the adjustment was still timely, he did not lose his position anyway, and barely followed Robert Foden.

Robert Foden saw that Xiao Yao had not been completely thrown away, and the opponent's inside line was defending under the basket, and he did not make a strong attack. After attracting Will Foster to his side to move and prepare to cover the defense, he broke through. In the process, the basketball was thrown to Scott Carr, who was emptied outside.

  Scott Carl outside the three-point line adjusted a little after receiving the ball and jumped up to take a three-pointer.

  Scott Carl missed this three-pointer, and the basketball bounced out of the front of the basket. The basketball bounced a bit far this time, leaving the control range of Ben Skuer and Zhuo Zhiyuan under the basket, and fell outside the three-second zone on the right. This place happened to be under the control of Xiao Yao and Robert Foden. Xiao Yao quickly took off and grabbed the rebound before Robert Foden.

  Looking at Xiao Yao grabbing a rebound, Rita Mitchell, who was the most active fast-breaker up and down the court, immediately turned and rushed towards the opponent's half. Xiao Yao looked up and found that Bill Justin followed Rita Mitchell back to defense, not far from Rita Mitchell, did not pass the ball rashly, but drove the ball towards the opponent's half.

   Xiao Yao's punch, Robert Foden naturally followed immediately. On the other side, Quincy Beasley, who originally defended Joey Bilsa at the left 45-degree three-point line, quickly returned to the defense and rushed towards Xiao Yao from the side. What is more rare is that after Quincy Beasley ran, Joey Bielsa, who played "Master Ball", also ran to the opponent's half after a few people.

  "Carl missed a three-pointer, Xiao Yao grabbed the rebound and dribbled the ball directly to the fast break!" Li Jun said excitedly.

   "This fast break looks like a three-on-three posture." Zhang Yuan said.

  Quincy Beasley is worthy of being a sprinter. After halftime, he almost caught up with Xiao Yao. After Xiao Yao entered the three-point line, he posted it from the side.

  After Rita Mitchell rushed to the basket, seeing that Xiao Yao did not pass the ball, she immediately pulled away to the left and gave Xiao Yao the position under the basket.

  After Xiao Yao stepped into the three-point line, his left shoulder pressed against Quincy Beasley, and he glanced at his left side.

  Quincy Beasley knew that Bill Justin was defending Rita Mitchell. At this time, he was not disturbed by Xiao Yao's actions, but only concentrated on defending Xiao Yao. He knew that he was definitely not better than Xiao Yao, who was able to dunk in bounce. When Xiao Yao turned his head, he was a little slower, and he squeezed forward again and came to Xiao Yao’s side in front of him while he was defending. The upper body exerted force against Xiao Yao and prevented him from taking off smoothly.

   Xiao Yao felt the pressure from Quincy Beasley, and took the initiative to lower his speed, changing from sprinting to jogging. After a step, Xiao Yao caught the bounced basketball with his right hand and did not shoot on the ground anymore, but swung from behind to his left side.

   "Pass the ball from behind?" Quincy Beasley unconsciously shifted the center of gravity to the right side, and at the same time subconsciously stretched out his right hand to intercept. But Xiao Yao passed the ball from behind, separated by one body, how can he intercept it?

  After Rita Mitchell pulled away to the left, Bill Justin followed along to guard out. Robert Foden, who was behind Xiao Yao, ran between Xiao Yao and Joey Bilsa behind him, also taking care of his defense against Joey Bilsa by the way. Seeing Xiao Yao passing the ball at this time, Robert Foden immediately threw away Joey Birsa and ran between Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell, trying to break Xiao Yao to Rita Mitch. This pass by Er.

   "Wow~"

Robert Foden, who jumped between Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell, not only did not stop Xiao Yao’s pass, he didn’t even see the basketball flying in front of him, and when he was a little confused, he suddenly heard the audience. There was a cry of exclamation.

  "WhatTheFack!" Robert Foden turned to look in the direction of Xiao Yao, but he saw Quincy Beasley, who was defending Xiao Yao, wide-eyed and burst out a swear word. Robert Foden looked further away and was surprised to find that the basketball had reached Joey Bilsa, who was outside the three-point line on Xiao Yao's right.

  The unguarded Joey Bilsa jumped off the three-point line to shoot the basketball in a leisurely manner. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell into the basket accurately.

  “Yeah!” Many audience members raised their hands and cheered.

  "Xiao Yao passed the ball from behind, the ball arrived...in the hands of Bilsa on the right, Bilsa hit a three-pointer!" Li Jun in the commentary booth laughed loudly, "This is another incredible reverse pass!"

"This is a way of passing the ball originally created by Xiao Yao," Zhang Yuan also laughed. "The last time I saw this kind of pass was in the charity star game that year. It's a pity that my teammates didn't make a shot this time. Bilsa successfully turned Xiao Yao's wonderful pass into an assist!"

  Before the Western Celebrities kick-off the baseline, the referee blew his whistle and made a time-out gesture, pointing in the direction of the Western Celebrities bench. It turned out that the Western Celebrities called the time-out.

  "The Western Celebrities called a timeout." Li Jun introduced, "After the second half, the Eastern Celebrities scored five points in a row. The score is now 40 to 40 on the court, and the Eastern Celebrities tied the score."

   "One layup, one assist, the five points scored by the Eastern Celebrities in the second half are all related to Xiao Yao." Zhang Yuan laughed, "After Xiao Yao came on the field, the effect was immediate!"

  While the two commentators were talking about Xiao Yao, the live director took advantage of this timeout to play a slow motion replay of the ball just now on the big screen. In this replay, it was not just Joey Bilsa's shot, but from Xiao Yao's pass.

   Seeing that the ball was replayed on the big screen, many spectators who did not see the details of the ball just now and were puzzled all looked up at the big screen. Even the coaches and players on the benches of the two teams temporarily interrupted their tactical arrangements and looked up carefully.

On the big screen of the scene, after Xiao Yao swung his right arm behind him to push out the basketball, he bent his left arm and stretched out behind him, swinging from left to right, accurately knocking the elbow of his left arm to the left of the basketball. The basketball flying to Xiao Yao's left was stunned in this way before it changed its direction in the air and flew to Xiao Yao's right, and fell into the hands of Joey Bilsa outside the right three-point line.

   After the slow motion footage of "Wow~" was broadcast, there was another huge exclamation on the scene.

  Except for understanding the two Chinese commentators in the audience, Joey Bilsa and Zhuo Zhiyuan on the benches of both sides, and Zhao Rui and others in the audience, almost everyone has an incredible expression.

   "WhatThe..." Quincy Beasley stared again.

When she was on the court just now, Quincy Beasley was in front of Xiao Yao. He couldn't see what was behind Xiao Yao. He only saw Xiao Yao swing his right hand to the left, but the basketball flew to the right inexplicably. Can't help but burst out a foul language. At this time, watching the slow-motion replay and knowing how Xiao Yao passed the ball to the right, the degree of surprise was also not small, and once again he had the urge to explode.

   "Yang, you can still pass the ball like this?" After the surprise, the people on the bench of the Eastern Celebrity team surrounded Xiao Yao.

   "Is that guy a monster? Can you pass the ball like this?" Several people looked at each other on the bench for the Western Celebrities. The same words, but in a completely different tone.

  This time, no one suspected that the ball was accidentally hit by Xiao Yao when he passed the ball by accident and hit his arm. They all believed that this was a pass made intentionally by him.

   "This was not something he thought of temporarily, he had passed it like this before in the game." Zhuo Zhiyuan stood up and said.

"Okay!" Camon Blunt of the Western Celebrities clapped his hands. "No matter how incredible the pass is, it's just a pass. Let's focus on the game! Now they just tied the score. That's it, it's too early to the end of the game!"
