Entertaining Children

The red team attacked, Zhuo Zhiyuan took the ball and advanced, Xiao Yao still stood under the basket to defend Yu Junzhe who ran into the paint. After Yu Junzhe got stuck inside, he raised his hand to ask for the ball, and Zhuo Zhiyuan immediately lobbed the ball in. After Yu Junzhe received the ball, he first hugged the basketball to his chest, leaned back a bit, and found that Xiao Yao behind him had not been squeezed away, then moved the racket on the floor. Push Xiao Yao back with all his strength.

Compared with Xiao Yao, Yu Junzhe has an advantage in height and weight in appearance, but not much advantage in strength. After pushing Xiao Yao hard and moving a step in, Yu Junzhe quickly turned to the left with the ball, and Xiao Yao immediately took a step to the left to shorten the defensive distance. But after turning around, Yu Junzhe raised his right foot and took a step to the left. At the same time, he squeezed Xiao Yao and jumped forward to the left. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand for a layup.

The ball Xiao Yao was shaken and pushed away at the same time, he was unable to defend Junzhe effectively, and Yu Junzhe made this layup without any suspense.

Seeing Yu Junzhe playing Xiao Yao singles with his back, the cheers of the audience were mixed with some sporadic boos.

When it was the blue team's turn to attack, Lu Cheng stood outside the baseline and passed the ball to Xiao Yao who stepped forward to catch it. Xiao Yao received the ball and turned around, and immediately encountered Zhuo Zhiyuan's close-fitting pressing defense. Xiao Yao didn't bother much, and passed the ball back to Lu Cheng who ran back to the field. As soon as Lu Chenggang received the ball, Shi Jingsheng of the red team also forced him up. The red team actually played a full-court press.

Lu Cheng was ill-prepared for the full-court press of the red team. After receiving the ball, Shi Jingcheng completely suppressed him. He could neither dribble forward nor pass the ball back to Xiao Yao.

Seeing him, Xiao Yao made a fake move to the left, temporarily getting rid of Zhuo Zhiyuan's entanglement, and then quickly ran to Lu Cheng's side, took the basketball from his hand, and rushed towards the opponent's half with the ball go.

Zhuo Zhiyuan immediately pressed forward again. This time Xiao Yao didn't pass the ball again, he raised his left arm against Zhuo Zhiyuan, and tenaciously led the ball across the half court under the opponent's tight defense.

After reaching beyond the three-point line, Feng Chengzhi dropped his defensive target and stepped forward to defend Xiao Yao with Zhuo Zhiyuan. When Xiao Yao saw the two opponents coming up to defend, he immediately raised his hand and made a motion to pass the ball. Feng Chengzhi immediately waved his hand and hit it, but Xiao Yao suddenly patted the ball on the floor, and the basketball came from Xiao Yao's right hand Left hand, and Feng Chengzhi's hand hit Xiao Yao's arm firmly.

"Di~" The referee's whistle sounded, calling Feng Chengzhi's thug foul.

Xiao Yao did not shoot the ball, and the red team had not made four fouls in this quarter, so no free throws were made, and the blue team sent the ball from the sideline.

Miao Cheng took the initiative to walk to the sideline to serve. Feng Chengzhi went back to defend Liu Haoming, and Zhuo Zhiyuan continued to closely guard Xiao Yao, preventing him from catching the ball easily. Shi Jingcheng stood in front of Miao Cheng, raised his hands high, bouncing non-stop,

It also interfered with Miao Cheng's serve.

Xiao Yao ran in front of Miao Cheng, first accelerated a step to his right, then made an emergency stop and ran back to throw away Zhuo Zhiyuan, and pointed at the floor with his hand at the same time. Miao Cheng understood, and passed the basketball under Shi Jingcheng's left arm to Xiao Yao with a touch pass.

After Xiao Yao received the ball, Zhuo Zhiyuan stuck up again. At the same time, Shi Jingcheng let go of Miao Cheng, and turned around to defend Xiao Yao with Zhuo Zhiyuan. Xiao Yao immediately jumped up and passed the basketball to Miao Cheng who returned to the court. Miao Cheng ran to the basket with the ball, but was blocked by Zhao Yunfei as soon as he reached the three-point line. Miao Cheng subconsciously held the basketball in his hands, and turned his back to Zhao Yunfei.

"Di~" At this time, the referee's whistle blew again.

It turned out that after Xiao Yao passed the ball, he wanted to push Shi Jingcheng away to meet Miao Cheng, but Shi Jingcheng pulled him away. The referee whistled Shi Jingcheng for a pulling foul without the ball.

"Woo~" He fouled Xiao Yao twice in a non-shooting state, and some boos sounded from the audience.

The number of fouls by the red team is still less than four times, and the blue team is still serving the frontcourt sideline kick.

This time it was Liu Haoming who served the sideline. Xiao Yao still used a back-and-forth run to temporarily throw away Zhuo Zhiyuan, and then received a pass from Liu Haoming. This time, after catching the ball, Xiao Yao flicked the basketball behind his left side with his left hand, then pressed Zhuo Zhiyuan and turned to the left, at the same time, his right hand also caught the bounced basketball and dribbled it, catching up with the others Before pinching the defense, he dribbled the ball to the inside of the red team.

Encountering Feng Chengzhi, who came up from the defense near the free throw line, Xiao Yao broke through with a European step change, and stretched out his left hand again for a layup. At this time, Yu Junzhe and Zhao Yunfei jumped up together under the basket, completely blocking Xiao Yao's shot route. Xiao Yao, who was in the air, flipped his left wrist and smashed the basketball to the floor. The basketball rebounded from Yu Junzhe and Zhao Yunfei's feet and went to the other side of the basket.

On the other side of the basket, Miao Cheng, who swam to the basket, just received the ground pass. Miao Cheng immediately jumped up to shoot. The basketball bounced off the backboard and fell into the hoop. Miao Cheng, the only blue team player who has not scored too many points, finally scored.

When defending Xiao Yao for a layup, Yu Junzhe jumped straight up and down to defend, but Zhao Yunfei jumped forward with a forward momentum. After Xiao Yao finished passing the ball, Zhao Yunfei, who was rushing forward, also bumped into Xiao Yao's body.

After changing direction and breaking through, Xiao Yao was tilted in the air when he made a layup. Being hit by Zhao Yunfei, Xiao Yao immediately lost his center of gravity and fell from the air. Xiao Yao reacted extremely quickly. Immediately after being hit, he forcibly reversed his posture in the air, let his butt touch the ground, and sat down. The force of Zhao Yunfei's collision was not small, and Xiao Yao sat on the floor after landing and slid more than one meter away before stopping.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Yunfei immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yao, asking nervously.

"It's okay!" Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, grabbed Zhao Yunfei's outstretched hand, and was pulled up by him.

For the next ball, Zhuo Zhiyuan of the red team did not pass the ball to Yu Junzhe on the inside, and asked Yu Junzhe to single-play Xiao Yao. Instead, after a one-block cooperation with Shi Jingsheng on the outside, under the cover of Shi Jingcheng Down shot a three-pointer. The basketball hit the hoop, Xiao Yao resisted Yu Junzhe and grabbed the defensive rebound, and was about to dribble the ball to launch a fast break, but the referee blew his whistle. It turned out that the blue team called a timeout.

"The blue team called a timeout." He Jian said, "This timeout, the blue team should also have to make some substitutions and adjustments."

"Affirmative." Zhou Qun nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, Director Wei is going to replace Xiao Yao."

"Change Xiao Yao? Xiao Yao is in such a good condition now that he feels hot. Will Xiao Yao be replaced at this time?" He Jian asked strangely, "I think Director Wei should replace with two professional players. Help Xiao Yao and help him share some pressure."

"Is it still helpful?" Zhou Qun laughed, "Look at Xiao Yao's current statistics, 21 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, he has already got a triple-double, and there are two steals and a block. If you stay on the court and continue to play, this game will become Xiao Yao's personal show."

"Personal show? Is it that exaggerated?" He Jian didn't believe it.

"Why not?" Zhou Qun said, "This is just an exhibition game, but the red team has begun to carry out targeted defense against Xiao Yao. When Xiao Yao has no ball and the ball in the backcourt, Zhuo Zhiyuan presses closely. The red team is double-teamed by two people, and they will be fouled when they run without the ball. It is already very good for Director Wei to insist that Xiao Yao finish the shot. If I were the coach of Wei, when Xiao Yao was fouled without the ball Replaced him."

"Have you noticed?" Zhou Qun continued, "Since the scores of the two teams reached double digits, the blue team has always had fewer professional players than the red team. There are no professional players at all, Xiao Yao is playing with a group of amateur players. Now the score of the two teams is 69 to 58, and the blue team leads by 11 points. Recover the point difference. Up to now in the third quarter, the blue team has scored a total of 25 points, of which Xiao Yao scored 21 points alone. Stayed in the double digits."

"Yeah, Xiao Yao has been fighting against professional players for a long time. But he didn't fall behind? It's a bit scary to think about it." He Jian nodded in agreement.

"What's even more frightening is that although Xiao Yao's play is very entertaining, it's also very reasonable." Zhou Qun said, "Even if he made nine out of nine shots and felt so hot, Xiao Yao can still remember to pass the ball. The ball just now , even if Xiao Yao has no shooting angle, but with his ability to stay in the air, as long as he passes the ball later, he can trick Zhao Yunfei into a foul and score a free throw, but he still passes the ball to the open teammate under the basket. If he If it doesn’t go down, it will be too difficult for the red team to chase points.”

As Zhou Qun expected, after the timeout, Wei Zhiping on the blue team replaced Xiao Yao and Miao Cheng with Bielsa and Chen Nuo. On the red team, Zhao Fengnian also replaced Yu Junzhe and Zhuo Zhiyuan for a rest, and replaced them with Evans and Xu Yue.

In the remaining three minutes of the third quarter, Xiao Yao sat on the bench safely and was not sent to play again. By the end of the third quarter, the score was 77-71, with the Blues still leading by six.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xiao Yao was left on the bench. It wasn't until more than three minutes into the fourth quarter when the red team narrowed the gap to only two points that Wei Zhiping sent Xiao Yao to the court when the ball was dead.

After Xiao Yao came on the field, the red team still closely guarded Xiao Yao. But this time it was not Zhuo Zhiyuan who came to guard Xiao Yao closely, but Cai Yue, who was the shortest in the red team.

At this time, the blue team still has professional player Chen Nuo on the court, who can also play point guard. Xiao Yao didn't waste his energy dribbling the ball towards the opponent's half against Cai Yue, but passed the ball to Chen Nuo after receiving the ball. Chen Nuo would play the point guard and ran to the opponent's half by himself.

After holding the ball for half court, Chen Nuo handed the basketball to Xiao Yao who was beyond the three-point line. Although the red team closely guarded Xiao Yao, due to the existence of Chen Nuo, they did not double-team Xiao Yao. Due to the gap in height and wingspan, Xiao Yao didn't encounter too much trouble in passing or receiving the ball under Cai Yue's defense, and he just took the high-altitude ball.

After receiving the ball, Xiao Yao swayed away Cai Yue's defense through two consecutive changes of direction, broke through near the sideline of the three-second zone, and pulled up a jumper. Shi Jingcheng, who came to make up the defense, was a step late, and only after Xiao Yao made a shot, he slapped Xiao Yao's hand with a slap.

"Beep~" The referee's whistle sounded again.

Seeing Xiao Yao's shot, the referee gestured that Shi Jingcheng was fouled by a thug, Xiao Yao's two points are valid, and a free throw is added.

"I didn't touch his hand until after he shot!" Shi Jingsheng argued to the referee, spreading his hands.

"Before he hits the ground, the shooting action is not over. As long as you touch his hand, it is a foul, and it has nothing to do with whether the ball is shot or not." The referee smiled and shook his head and explained, "This is a regular game, I have to strictly follow the rules. "

Shi Jingsheng's appeal was invalid, and Xiao Yao stood on the free throw line.

After receiving the basketball from the referee at the basket, Xiao Yao held both sides of the basketball with both hands, stretched his feet and bent, squatted in a horse stance, and looked up at the basket in front of him.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Xiao Yao's action, the players on the court and the audience all showed puzzled expressions. Chen Nuo, who was standing under the basket and preparing to grab a rebound, asked Xiao Yao directly with curiosity.

"Free throw!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Penalty? Is this a free throw?" Chen Nuo asked in surprise. Just now Xiao Yao had already made a free throw, and Xiao Yao also practiced free throws during training and warm-up before, obviously it was not such an action.

"This is called a urinal free throw, a free throw posture I created myself." Xiao Yao laughed. There is no Rick Barry in this world, so Xiao Yao regards this peculiar free throw posture as his original creation.

"It's ugly, but the name is very apt, it really looks like holding a urinal." Chen Nuo smiled and slapped himself in front of his nose.

"Is this Xiao Yao's free throw? What kind of action is this?" The commentator He Jian also asked Zhou Qun beside him in doubt, "Mr. Zhou, have you seen it?"

"I've never seen it before!" Zhou Qun shook his head.

"Could it be that Xiao Yao created it himself?" He Jian was puzzled, and suddenly saw a close-up of Xiao Yao's face in the broadcast screen, which happened to be the part where Xiao Yao answered Chen Nuo, and said in disbelief, "Although I'm not an expert on lip language, but looking at Xiao Yao's mouth, he seems to be talking about carrying the urinal?"

"It seems to be true, and I look like it." Zhou Qun also laughed, "Don't say it, this posture really looks like holding a urinal! Xiao Yao, is this guy deliberately funny?"

"I see that Shi Jingcheng seemed very dissatisfied with the foul called by the referee just now. Could it be that Xiao Yao also felt that Shi Jingcheng's blow was not enough to call a foul, so he was going to throw one at random?" He Jian guessed.

The big screen at the scene showed a close-up of Xiao Yao like the TV broadcast. Many audience members also guessed the word "urinal" from Xiao Yao's mouth movements, and there were some discussions and laughter in the auditorium.

"It shouldn't be. Shi Jingcheng's hit to Xiao Yao's hand was indeed a foul, and the referee whistled it without any problems." Zhou Qun shook his head when he heard some laughter at the scene, "I think Xiao Yao used this weird It should be for fun. After all, it is an exhibition game, and their blue team leads again. It is possible to have some entertainment and make the audience happy."

Amidst the discussion and laughter of the audience, Xiao Yao threw the basketball from between his legs to the hoop from bottom to top with both hands. The basketball arced in the air and fell into the basket. Xiao Yao was also a little surprised, and shrugged as he stepped back.

"Wow~" Seeing Xiao Yao score the ball with such an ugly posture, there was another exclamation from the audience. 89
