Entertaining Children

Since Xiao Yao missed a shot, the offensive and defensive sides switched positions.

Xiao Yao ran to the sidelines to pick up the bounced basketball, and walked back to the inside of the top of the three-point line on the court. Seeing that Guo Qi was already standing outside the three-point line, Xiao Yao threw the basketball to Guo Qi, then immediately lowered his center of gravity slightly, opened his arms, and took a defensive posture.

Guo Qi didn't dribble the ball immediately after receiving the ball, but just like Xiao Yao did just now, he held the ball up with both hands and made a fake shot.

Although it was judged that Guo Qi's move was probably a fake move, Xiao Yao still took a step forward with his left foot, and at the same time raised his left hand to make a defensive move. Xiao Yao knew that if he didn't do anything, Guo Qi's fake move would probably turn into a real shot. Although Guo Qi is not good at three-pointers, as an outside player, he is not without three-point ability. Xiao Yao dare not let him shoot casually outside the three-point line.

"Huh?" Ding Feng, who was watching the game this time, questioned, "I think Xiao Yao is obviously a right-handed player, why is he playing left-handed when defending?"

Although Xiao Yao has demonstrated the ability to dribble with both left and right hands, from the feeling of the two different dribble movements of Xiao Yao's left hand dribble breakthrough after the fake move and his right hand breakthrough after the fake move, the two different dribble movements of the national team The team members can still see that Xiao Yao's right hand should be much more proficient than his left hand, and Xiao Yao used his right hand for both shots, so it can clearly show that Xiao Yao is a right-handed player.

"Maybe it's because Guo Zi is a left-handed player." Before Chen Yang could speak, Xu Li beside him had already answered Ding Feng: "Xiao Yao raises his left hand to defend, and it's easier for Guo Zi to break through from the right. It is more used to but harder, and it is easier to go to the right, but it is not his dominant hand, even if he breaks through, the follow-up performance will be worse than that of the left.”

"Is this calculated again?" Ding Feng looked at Xu Li and asked.

"It's still a calculation? When defending against left-handed players, the main defense is to prevent the opponent from rushing to the left, and when defending against right-handed players, the main defense is to prevent the opponent from rushing to the right. This is common sense, right? It can only be said that Xiao Yao still has some understanding of Guo Zi. But it's no wonder, Guo Zi Zi is a professional player, and he has also started in the professional league this year, and it is normal for Xiao Yao to watch his games." Xu Li said.

Xu Li was only partially right. Xiao Yao didn’t watch many professional basketball leagues in China, and he was not familiar with most of the national team players before, but since he decided to take pictures of the players, he naturally had to make some habitual changes to the subjects he photographed. learn. Before coming here, Xiao Yao made up a lot of information about the fifteen members of the national team and playing videos.

Therefore, Xiao Yao has a certain understanding of Guo Qi's playing style and characteristics, not just knowing whether he is a left-handed player or a right-handed player.

Guo Qi saw that Xiao Yao stepped forward because of her fake shooting, and quickly withdrew her hands holding the ball.

He shot the basketball with his left hand, bowed and broke through from his left hand.

As a national basketball player, and also known for his breakthrough speed, Guo Qi's breakthrough from the left hand side was extremely fast. Fortunately, Xiao Yao used his left foot and raised his left hand to block Guo Qi's shot, so the whole person was originally slightly inclined to his right side. Seeing that Guo Qi was about to brush his body and pass by, Xiao Yao, who could no longer keep up with his footsteps, straightened his chest and bumped Guo Qi slightly with his chest. Because Xiao Yao's upper body was arched backwards when defending, this chest-up action did not exceed the so-called cylinder rule, so it was not a foul.

The advantage of Guo Qi is that her breakthrough speed is fast, but she also has a disadvantage, that is, her body is relatively thin. Although compared with Xiao Yao, a non-professional player, Guo Qi's body is not at a disadvantage, but after being touched by Xiao Yao's chest from the side, Guo Qi's footstep rhythm was disrupted, and she originally rushed to the basket in a straight line. The direction is also slightly outward.

Xiao Yao took the initiative to bump Guo Qi with his chest, and he himself leaned back slightly because of the reaction force of the bump. Seeing that Xiao Yao's center of gravity was unstable, Guo Qi simply dribbled the ball to the left in the direction of the collision, and then jumped up outside the three-second zone to shoot.

This is no fake move, Xiao Yao saw it, and quickly kicked his feet on the ground at the same time, leaping towards Guo Qi, and at the same time raised his right hand high, intending to block the opponent's shot.

Guo Qi's height and wingspan are superior to Xiao Yao's, and the height of her jump into the air is also comparable to Xiao Yao's. Because of the unstable center of gravity of Xiao Yao's previous leaning back, he took off after adjusting, and his jumping time was a little later than Guo Qi's. In addition, he suffered from a disadvantage in height and wingspan, and his bounce was not superior to Guo Qi's, so Guo Qi When he reached the highest point of his jump and threw the basketball, the palm of Xiao Yao's right hand was only as high as the wrist of Guo Qi's shooting hand.

The basketball flew out of Guo Qi's hand, hit the inside of the back of the basket, bounced again on the inside of the front of the basket, and finally fell into the net.

"Strike!" There was a burst of applause and cheers from the sidelines. As a teammate, everyone is joking, but they still praise Guo Qi's good performance. Guo Qi's breakthrough just now was obviously disrupted by Xiao Yao, but he was able to adapt to the situation and directly change the breakthrough into a mid-range shot. And throwing the ball in, this performance is indeed very good.

After landing, Guo Qi heard the applause from the sidelines, finally showed a smile, and excitedly clenched a fist with one hand and punched upwards, celebrating by herself.

Immediately after landing, Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Is it worth being so excited to score a goal as an amateur?"

"You..." The smile on Guo Qi's face froze instantly, and then was replaced by an embarrassing expression.

"It's really nothing to be happy about. Winning you is a matter of course." Guo Qi put away her smile, straightened her face and began to walk back.

Xiao Yao went to the basket to pick up the basketball, walked back to the three-point line, threw the basketball in his hand to Guo Qi, and bowed slightly again in a defensive posture.

This time Guo Qi did not make a fake shot after receiving the ball. Instead, she swung the ball to the left with her left hand, and then twisted her waist. , and then took another shot forward, and the whole person rushed past Xiao Yao's left hand.

This time Xiao Yao ate Guo Qi's shake firmly. When Guo Qi held the ball in his left hand and swayed to the left, Xiao Yao reflexively moved his body's center of gravity to the right. As a result, when Guo Qi quickly twisted his waist and passed by Xiao Yao's left hand, Xiao Yao's center of gravity had not yet adjusted. return.

Although he was broken through, Xiao Yao didn't give up, and followed Guo Qi closely to catch up. In terms of dribbling speed, Xiao Yao is far behind Guo Qi, but if running without the ball, Xiao Yao and Guo Qi's speed are about the same. Follow closely. Seeing that Guo Qi picked up the basketball and took two steps, Xiao Yao, who was one body behind Guo Qi, jumped into the air and covered Guo Qi from behind.

After Guo Qi broke through Xiao Yao's defense, she didn't take it lightly, she had already noticed that Xiao Yao behind her had followed. Feeling that Xiao Yao jumped up in the air behind him, Guo Qi, who had already taken two steps with the ball, had to jump up too, otherwise it would be a walking violation. However, since it was known that Xiao Yao was chasing and defending, Guo Qi did not follow the predetermined route for a layup, which was tantamount to sending the basketball to Xiao Yao who was already waiting in the air.

Guo Qi, who landed on the second step during the layup, exerted force on the inside of the left sole and waist and abdomen at the same time, abruptly changing the trend of jumping forward to jumping to the right. Then the whole person turned ninety degrees in the air, lifted the basketball with both hands holding the ball, and changed the layup into a shot.

Since Xiao Yao has already jumped up in the air, it is impossible to change direction in the air, so he can only watch his body and Guo Qi miss in the air. Although Xiao Yao was able to forcibly twist his upper body to the right through good waist and abdomen strength in the air, and at the same time, his arms stretched forward turned to face Guo Qi, but Guo Qi jumped out to the side and pulled away. The distance of the ball has already exceeded the distance that Xiao Yao can block with one arm, so Xiao Yao can't hit the basketball in Guo Qi's hand even if he swung his arm down, and can only raise it to affect Guo Qi's shooting sight.

For the sake of safety, Guo Qi, who jumped to the side of the basket, also used the strength of her waist and abdomen in the air to make her stay in the air for a while longer. Because Xiao Yao took off first, he naturally fell first. After Xiao Yao started to fall, Guo Qi took a shot, and he chose to hit the rebound. After the basketball wiped on the backboard, it fell steadily into the basket.

It was a 2-2 tie, and Guo Qi didn't show any excitement or complacency after landing this time, but silently looked at Xiao Yao. On the surface, it seemed that Guo Qi chased two points easily, but he knew that Xiao Yao had already forced him to use his full strength for the two goals just now.

"Good goal!" Compared to Guo Qi's ridicule after scoring the first goal, Xiao Yao took the initiative to praise this time.

Although Guo Qi scored both goals before and after, Xiao Yao on the court could still feel the difference between the two goals. During the first ball, Guo Qi was obviously a little careless, and Xiao Yao had successfully disrupted Guo Qi's rhythm in defense. Although Guo Qi changed to shooting according to the situation, it was because his pace could not be adjusted. In fact, he was not fully prepared for shooting. The fact that he was able to make a shot had a considerable element of luck. But the second ball is different, Xiao Yao has tried his best to defend, whether it is being shaken and then being broken through, or the subsequent chasing and defending, all are within Guo Qi's expectations, and avoiding being blocked and turning into a shot is also the same. His active selection, shot timing and preparation actions are also much more sure than the first ball.

"You've done a good job defending too." Although she was still a little upset, Guo Qi had already sincerely recognized Xiao Yao's basketball level.

Guo Qi smiled slightly, and continued, "Brother Yang said that you are the one who knows basketball very well among the photographers in Huaxia. I think you are not only the one who knows basketball very well among the photographers, but you may even be the best basketball player among the photographers." Yes. So whether you win or lose in the end, I will cooperate with you to complete this shoot."

"Actually, I agree with my dad's statement. He said that I am the best basketball player in China's entertainment industry." Xiao Yao also smiled, but he was not humble at all. "However, let's concentrate on playing basketball. As for taking pictures, your leaders have already agreed. Whether you really cooperate or not, you have to take pictures. Anyway, I take pictures and not me. Even if the pictures are not good, the pictures can't be used. At worst, I will find other photography projects to shoot."

"Nani?" Guo Qi looked at Xiao Yao in surprise, "You don't use taking pictures as an excuse, but you actually want to play golf?"

Xiao Yao shook his head, "That's not the case, but the opportunity to play with the national team players is not common, and I have to cherish it. Of course, it would be even better if I can help you take pictures. But taking pictures is later. Now I want to enjoy the game with you, the national team player."

"You..." Guo Qi tapped Xiao Yao with her hand, but she didn't know what to say, so she simply said: "Let's not talk about this, let's finish the competition." (To be continued.)
