Entertaining Children

"You thought your dad didn't understand basketball?" Xiao Siqi grinned, "You're talking about his shooting percentage during the game. Except for very few open shots in the game, most of the time they are defended. It’s not always 4, 50 percent when you practice shooting.”

"Then he's a professional player, but I'm not. What's the comparison?" Xiao Yao felt very shameless, and said a little angrily, "I'm practicing here, what do you want me to do?"

"I came here to play with you because I'm fine." Xiao Siqi smiled and suggested: "Anyway, I'm fine, how about I come to practice with you? Let's come one-on-one and put pressure on you to defend. You can practice." It works better too.”

Hearing Xiao Siqi's words, Xiao Yao laughed this time: "Are you sure? I don't just play basketball for long-range shots, and I don't just practice long-range shots. I'm just doing long-range shots now as a warm-up."

"You can do whatever you want." This time it was Xiao Siqi who spoke boldly, "Although your height is about the same as mine, you are still a teenager after all. Don't worry, I won't bully you too much."

"Nani?" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "You bullied me? Dad, where do you have the confidence?"

"Hey, the tone is not small." Xiao Siqi walked in front of Xiao Yao, squatted down slightly to take a defensive posture, and said, "Don't play tricks, you can see the truth under your hands."

Looking at Xiao Siqi's rather amateurish defensive posture in front of him, Xiao Yao shook his head and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Come on." Xiao Siqi clapped his hands confidently, and opened his arms again.

Xiao Yao took a picture of the basketball in his hand, first made a crotch dribble, changed the basketball from his right hand to his left hand, and then shifted his center of gravity to the left while catching the ball with his left hand, making a fake move to break through to his left hand. Xiao Siqi hurriedly took a step back to his right, and at the same time, his body was slightly turned to his right. As a result, after Xiao Yao caught the basketball with his left hand, he shot it directly to the right side of his body, and at the same time accelerated his start. With a simple change of direction, he broke through from his right side and Xiao Siqi's left side. Xiao Yao, who broke through Xiao Siqi, quickly dribbled the ball and rushed to the basket. A three-step layup sent the basketball into the basket steadily.

After being passed, Xiao Siqi knew that he would not be able to catch up with Xiao Yao's dribbling speed, so he didn't try to catch up with him. Seeing Xiao Yao's successful layup, Xiao Siqi, who lost a point first, was not disappointed. Instead, he smiled and praised: "Not bad, not bad. The speed is quite fast, and the feint changes are also done very well."

"Didn't you look down on me just now? This style of painting has changed too quickly, right?" Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Siqi's performance full of question marks, and asked Xiao Siqi with some hesitation: "Dad, are you okay? "

"It's okay, let's continue." Xiao Siqi smiled and said, "It's just one goal, don't be too complacent."

"Okay." Xiao Yao caught the basketball that fell from the basket and was still bouncing on the ground, walked seven or eight meters away, and stood still in front of Xiao Siqi again. There is no three-point line or three-second line in the penalty area in the yard of Xiao Yao’s house. He can only estimate the distance from the three-point line.

For the second ball, Xiao Yao didn't make any more fake moves, and directly accelerated to one side. Xiao Siqi's defense this time has shown some signs. Although the open arms didn't directly bend over to hug Xiao Yao, they kept pushing against him with all their strength, and then pressed their entire chest against him.

Strictly speaking, this kind of defensive action was a foul, but Xiao Yao didn't bother to argue with Xiao Siqi. Pushing against Xiao Siqi and rushing a few steps towards the basket, Xiao Yao forced himself to take off against Xiao Siqi and made another successful layup.

Xiao Siqi, who failed to defend Xiao Yao for two consecutive goals, finally changed his routine. "Well, Dad is not as good as you in terms of speed and strength." Xiao Siqi smiled and shook his head, "Let's change the rules, you are not allowed to enter the three-second zone... Uh, there is no three-second zone in our house Line, anyway, it is not allowed to rush to the basket for a layup, only long-range shots.

See how good your shot is when someone is guarding you. "

"OK, it's up to you!" Xiao Yao shrugged indifferently. After these two goals, Xiao Yao also tried it out, Xiao Siqi couldn't prevent him from rushing to the basket at all.

Xiao Yao still took the ball and rushed to the basket for the third ball, Xiao Siqi also stuck up to defend again. But this time, Xiao Yao, who had agreed not to make it to the basket, only took two steps before making an emergency stop, and took advantage of Xiao Siqi's unsteady center of gravity to pull up a jumper.

Xiao Siqi's reaction was a beat slower than Xiao Yao's. Xiao Yao had already shot the ball, and Xiao Siqi had just raised his defensive arm, let alone jumped.

"Bang!" The basketball thrown by Xiao Yao hit the rim and bounced out, but missed.

"It's my turn." Xiao Siqi ran to pick up the bounced basketball, and stood in the position where Xiao Yao launched the attack just now.

"Okay, let's take this opportunity to practice defense." Xiao Yao stood in the defensive position in front of Xiao Siqi.

Xiao Siqi took a picture of the basketball, imitating Xiao Yao, and rushed directly to the basket from one side. Xiao Siqi's dribbling movements are not proficient, so the speed is not very fast, and the posture and movement of protecting the ball are basically absent. Xiao Yao saw the right moment, reached forward with his left hand, and immediately broke Xiao Siqi's ball.

"You're pretty quick." Xiao Siqi, who lost the ball, praised Xiao Yao indifferently.

"Dad, it's my time again." Xiao Yao took two steps to catch the broken basketball and turned around.

Seeing that Xiao Siqi was getting ready, Xiao Yao dribbled and sprinted again. This time, he only rushed in two steps, and Xiao Yao came to a sudden stop again. Xiao Siqi, who had experience with the last ball, immediately stepped forward to take off to defend, but after Xiao Yao made a sudden stop, he didn't immediately pick up the basketball and jump up to shoot. The ball took a step to the left, and after the whole person completely stood on Xiao Siqi's side, he was able to jump up and shoot. This time, due to the sufficient preparation before the shot, the basketball hit the center of the basket very accurately.

For the next shot, Xiao Yao took a step back and shot. Because after taking a step back, he unconsciously took a little back, the ball hit the front edge of the basket, and the ball missed.

The offense and defense switched again, and it was Xiao Siqi's turn to attack for the second time. Having learned the experience and lessons from the last goal, Xiao Siqi turned his back to Xiao Yao when he attacked this time, and then pressed his back against Xiao Yao's chest step by step towards the basket.

"Start back slashing at such a distance?" Xiao Yao was a little speechless to his father. "Even if you squeeze under the basket, will you still have the strength to shoot?"

The question in Xiao Yao's heart was not answered, because Xiao Yao's strength and strength exceeded Xiao Siqi's expectations, and Xiao Siqi dribbled the ball with his back and did not squeeze Xiao Yao. Finally, in desperation, Xiao Siqi had no choice but to turn around and give up. Of course, this time it was so biased that it didn't even touch the basket.

"No more fights." Xiao Siqi bent over and shook his hands. In just a short while, he was already out of breath. Of course, it was mainly because too much effort was put into the back cut of the last ball.

"Why? Didn't you say to help me practice?" Xiao Yao asked strangely. To be honest, Xiao Siqi's basketball level and physical fitness are relatively average, but bullfighting with him is still effective. At the very least, you can practice your defense and shooting under defensive pressure when you are on offense.

"I'm just trying to test your level of basketball, who really will be your training partner." Xiao Siqi said with a smile.

"Are you kidding me?" Xiao Yao said a little dissatisfied. Hooked up your own interest, but you said you don't want to play anymore, how could it be like this?

"Why are you trying my basketball level?" Xiao Yao continued to ask, "You don't want to watch the basketball game in the school as a unit, right?"

"No, how can I have that free time? Unless you become a professional player, Dad is only interested in playing in professional leagues." Xiao Siqi laughed.

"Then why are you free to test my basketball skills?" Xiao Yao continued to ask.

"Dad has a lot of free time recently, so he agreed to be a guest on a reality show." Xiao Siqi explained, "This show is called "Challenge the Champion". Sports star competition. The competition is a professional sports star event, but the program group will set various restrictions on them, and the number of players on both sides of the competition is not equal, so entertainment stars are not completely without hope of winning.

Dad, the sports star guests I will participate in are Chen Yang and Xu Li, and the project is to compete with them in basketball. Xu Li is an active secondary vocational basketball star player. Not to mention Chen Yang, he used to play in the United States, and we met him ten years ago. Although he has retired now, it has only been two years since he retired, and he is in good physical condition. Because the candidates for this episode of entertainment star guests have not been fully decided, of course I want to find a helper who can play basketball well. Son, you are also a star. When I see you play, I will definitely think about you first. "

"That's why you want to test my basketball skills?" Xiao Yao understood.

"That's right. If you play well, I'll recommend you to the program team. If you don't play well, I won't let you go with me to be humiliated." Xiao Siqi said.

"Then why did you say you were training with me, and you still want to fight me?" Xiao Yao still had another question.

"If I said directly: Son, how is your basketball game? Show it to Dad. How would you react?" Xiao Siqi asked.

"Too lazy to talk to you." Xiao Yao said truthfully.

"That's right," Xiao Siqi said with a smug smile, "If you don't stimulate you a few words, how can I let you show your level to the fullest? Also, going off the court in person and playing one-on-one with you for a while is not good for your basketball level." Have a personal feeling."

"Then you don't play now, that is to say, you think my basketball level is okay to participate in the program?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"As far as your skills and physical condition are concerned, there are probably not many people in the entertainment industry who can beat you. Of course there is no problem." Xiao Siqi laughed.

"But I have a problem." Xiao Yao closed his smile and said, "I'm not going to that reality show."

"No matter how good I am at playing, I'm just a rookie in front of Chen Yang and Xu Li. I won't seek abuse by myself. Go and play with Chen Yang and Xu Li by yourself." Xiao Yao curled his lips.

"It's not a fair game. There will be many restrictions on them at that time. If we play well, we still have hope of winning. It's not necessarily just looking for abuse." Xiao Siqi emphasized hastily.

"Unfair games are even more uninteresting." Xiao Yao picked up the basketball and dribbled it, "I'd better play my school's game."
