Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1317 Challenge?

   Xiao Yao went to a professional club to try out, of course, it could not be because of, or just because of the remarks of some netizens on the Internet. Xiao Yao made this decision mainly because of a conversation with Chen Yang. That conversation happened on the evening of the last match of the China Men's Basketball World Cup.

   "Brother Yang, why are you here?" Xiao Yao, who opened the door after hearing the door bell, was very surprised and saw the giant outside the door.

  It is pure coincidence that Xiao Yao stayed in the same hotel with the China Basketball Team when he was in Milan, and did not intend to stay in the same hotel with the team on purpose. During the second stage of qualifying, Xiao Yao was also in Florence on the two days of the China Men's Basketball match day, so he no longer stayed in the same hotel as the China Men's Basketball Team.

  In Milan, although Xiao Yao was in the same hotel as the China Men’s Basketball Team, Chen Yang only went to Xiao Yao’s room to deliver the tickets on the night he met Xiao Yao and chatted with him by the way. At that time, before the official start of the World Cup, after the start of the World Cup, Chen Yang never looked for Xiao Yao. Now Xiao Yao and the China Basketball Team do not live in the same hotel. Chen Yang actually left the hotel where the China Basketball Team lives and came to the hotel where he lived to find him. Of course, Xiao Yao felt very surprised.

   "Why? I am not welcome?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

   "Of course not," Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and made a please gesture, leading Chen Yang into the room and said, "I just didn't expect you to come."

  The two walked into the living room of the suite. Sun Tingting, who was leaning on the sofa holding the tablet computer, saw Xiao Yao bring Chen Yang in, and quickly put down the computer and stood up and said hello to Chen Yang: "Hello, Brother Yang!"

  Looking like this, when the two heard the doorbell before, they thought it was mostly hotel room service or something. They didn’t expect that there would be guests coming to the door at this time.

   "Hello Duoer!" Chen Yang saw Sun Tingting's state and greeted with a smile, "Uninvited, didn't you bother you?"

   "No, don't bother." Sun Tingting waved her hand quickly and said to Chen Yang, "Sit down and I will make coffee."

  Chen Yang was also polite to stop, and sat down on the sofa in the living room with Xiao Yao separately.

After sitting down, Xiao Yao looked at Chen Yang curiously and said: "Brother Yang, shouldn't you be holding a summary meeting with the team at this time?"

"This World Cup is over. There is no need to hold a summary meeting for this game tonight. We will open a summary meeting directly on the performance of this event." Chen Yang said, "We will return to China tomorrow. The summary of the game will be held after returning home. "

   "You will return to China tomorrow?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile, "Brother Yang, don't you tell me that you came to say goodbye to me on a special trip!"

   "Of course I don't have to make a special trip to say goodbye. I want to talk to you!" Chen Yang said, "You are a big star and you are busy, and it is not easy to find a chance to chat with you."

   "I am a big star, you are still the chairman of the Basketball Association, you can say so..." Xiao Yao paused when he said that, shaking his head and smiling, "Well, what do you want to talk about."

  "Just chat," Chen Yang said casually, "How are your wedding photos taken?"

   "It's okay at the moment." Xiao Yao said, "I haven't finished the filming yet, and I will go to other places to shoot a few more sets later."

  "Brother Yang, some of the pictures that have been taken already exist here." Sun Tingting, who came over with coffee, heard Chen Yang's question about the wedding photos, and motioned to the tablet computer on the coffee table.

   "Oh, can I take a look now?" Chen Yang said with interest.

   "Of course!" Sun Tingting put the coffee in front of Chen Yang, then took the tablet and handed it to Chen Yang.

   "The shot is really good!" Chen Yang picked up the tablet and looked at it, and said in praise.

  "The photographer is a teacher of Bayi, so very good!" Sun Tingting introduced next to him, "There are also scenes and our costumes, all selected by the teacher."

   "It is clear that our two models are good-looking and expressive." Xiao Yao said, "Also, we also participated in the selection and design of the scene clothing!"

   "Haha," Chen Yang looked up at the two and smiled, "Duo'er is really not as thick as you are on Bayi."

   "What a thick skin, I am confident!" Xiao Yao said.

   "Well," Chen Yang nodded, "I really like your confidence!"

  Chen Yang browsed the pictures on the tablet and handed it back to Sun Tingting, apologizing to the two of them: “I’m afraid I can’t go to your wedding for the two of you!”

   "It doesn't matter, we understand!" Xiao Yao nodded.

  Although the Basketball World Cup is not over at this time, the quarterfinals have not yet started, but the China Team’s games have all ended, and the ranking of this tournament has also been determined, ranking 24th. This result is the worst ranking China Men's Basketball has achieved in the World Series in the past 30 to 40 years.

  In fact, the grouping situation of the China Men's Basketball Team in this game is still good. Several opponents in the same group in the group stage are not particularly strong. From the perspective of paper strength, the China Men's Basketball team has the possibility of winning. The fans expected the China Men's Basketball Team to qualify from the group, score 16, and rush to the top 8. As a result, the China Men's Basketball Team had one win and two losses in the group stage, and only got third in the group, and went straight to the 17-32 ranking match. .

  The opponents in the qualifying match are three or four from other groups, and their strength will be relatively weaker. However, the China Men's Basketball Team only achieved one win and one loss, and could only be ranked 24th in the end.

In recent decades, the rankings of the China Men’s Basketball Team in the World Series have basically been hovering between 8th and 16th. This time when the grouping situation is good, the China Men’s Basketball Team has taken the highest ranking in recent decades. The poor results, the pressure on all aspects of the China Men's Basketball Team can be imagined.

  The coaching staff and players are naturally scolded by the fans. As the helm of the China Basketball Association, Chen Yang, the chairman of the Basketball Association, also has to bear related responsibilities. It is obviously inappropriate for Chen Yang, who is in the accountability and public opinion of all parties, to go to the wedding of the entertainment star Xiao Yao at this time, and Xiao Yao naturally understands it.

   "You understand." Chen Yang nodded, then looked at Xiao Yao and said, "But you just understand? Don't you have any ideas?"

   "What do you think?" Xiao Yao asked.

   "Of course it's about our performance in this World Cup," Chen Yang said, "Is there anything you want to say?"

"I'm an ordinary fan, what can I say?" Xiao Yao said, "Say that the players really do poorly on the court? That the coach on the sidelines is also bad? Or you, who decides the head coach and participates in the decision. The player has a bad vision for the president of the Basketball Association?"

"You're really welcome." Chen Yang smiled bitterly, not angry at Xiao Yao's straightforward evaluation, but looked at Xiao Yao and said, "You are not an ordinary fan! You didn't plan to do anything for China Basketball? "

   "What do you want me to do?" Xiao Yao asked, "I use my acting star's reputation and influence to bring the trend of public opinion, and relieve them a little pressure?"

"Is it on social media to say that victory or defeat is commonplace for soldiers. Encourage them and let them cheer?" Xiao Yao clenched his fists exaggeratedly, and continued, "Or write another inspirational song for the China Men's Basketball Team. If it does, the dream will be there, the big deal will come again?"

   "If the heart is there, the dream is there, the big deal will come again? Is this the lyrics?" Chen Yang was a little surprised, "have you already written an inspirational song for us?"

"No, that is, it is not written for your men's basketball team." Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and said, "I can't do what I said just now. First, I have done it with limited results. You still have to suffer. Scolding, at most, is that fewer people scolded. Second, I don’t want to do that. Competitive sports is originally a performance talk. Besides, you not only have bad results, but also the game process. You should be scolded. Take it!"

   "Looking at you like this, I feel angry in my heart!" Chen Yang smiled, "But I didn't tell you to do those things, that's all you said."

   "Then what do you want me to do?" Xiao Yao asked.

   "I think, since you are dissatisfied with the performance of those players, why don't you go up and play by yourself?" Chen Yang said.

   "I'll go up and fight? What do you mean?" Xiao Yao asked puzzled.

  "Be a professional player, sign a professional club, play a professional game, and then strive to enter the national team, play the game to win glory for the country!" Chen Yang counted one by one.

"Professional player? Brother, I'm from the mixed entertainment industry." Xiao Yao said with a speechless expression, "You don't see domestic netizens' barrage and comments that I am really better than those on the national team, right? "

"You can also change careers to become professional players in the mixed entertainment industry." Chen Yang said, "I didn't see the comments on the Internet that you are better than those of the current national team, but that you are in good condition in all aspects. If you have been systematically trained and With the accumulation of game experience, it is possible to become better than those of the current national team! I think you have a lot of potential!"

   "Brother, I am already twenty-four, still have the potential?" Xiao Yao said.

"People in their 30s can also develop a new skill in an offseason and go to the next level," Chen Yang said. "You are only twenty-four, and you are still a young player. Of course you have potential and room for improvement. ."

   "Brother, what you said is a professional player." Xiao Yao said. He knows what Chen Yang means, and he can indeed tell a bunch of examples. For example, the left-hander suddenly developed his right hand, and the pitcher suddenly developed the ability to break through, but all the examples he knew were those who entered the professional team. professional player.

"Whether in basketball, football or other sports, there are examples of professional players who are half-way renunciations." Chen Yang said, "Aren't you actors and singers also born in Ye Luzi? Among those stars who take the role of actresses, queens, singers, and queens, there is no shortage of half-way renunciations. Did you come from Ye Luzi?"

   "Basketball is a sport of the superior, my height is good for star exhibition games, professional..." Xiao Yao said.

   "I remember your official height is 186. What is your real height?" Chen Yang asked in a mouthful.

   "It's 186, net height." Xiao Yao said.

"With a net height of 186, some professional teams can report to 1.9 meters." Chen Yang smiled, and then said, "Don't talk about 1.9 meters, let's take 186 for example. Our Chinese professional basketball team Among the players, there are two with a height of less than 1.8 meters, and three with a height of less than 185. The China National Basketball Association, they are all professional players in our top league."

   "But of these five people, four are not the regular main players of the team, none of the five are All-Stars, and none of them have been in the national team." Xiao Yao said.

  "Do you know who those five people are?" Chen Yang asked in surprise.

   "This is not the point." Xiao Yao said, "Now the guards are getting taller and taller. This time, the shortest guards of the national team are 196."

"The shortest this year is 196, not the shortest of each year, 196." Chen Yang said, "Those five are not All-Stars. They have not been in the national team. They have not reached their abilities, not just because of their height. Basketball, though. It’s a sport restricted by height, but height doesn’t mean everything.”

"Do you know Luka Gonzalez of the Argentine team?" Chen Yang continued, "The official height is 1.81 meters, the main point guard of the current Argentina team, the absolute main force of the Spanish Real Madrid team, last season's UEFA Champions League MVP. NBA’s Ike Allen is the absolute main player of the Hawks, with an official height of 183 and a two-time NBA All-Star."

   "These two are shorter than you." Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Maybe you will be Gonzalez and Allen of our China Team in the future!"

   "Do you compare me to them?" Xiao Yao said speechlessly.

  "Why can't it be compared?" Chen Yang said, "You are a few centimeters taller than them!"

   "Brother, do you need to fool me so hard?" Xiao Yao said.

"It's really not fooling, I really like you." Chen Yang said, "Although I have only watched you in a few exhibition games, but you showed consciousness, on-the-spot reaction, psychological quality and courage in those games, really I’m very impressed. Basketball, experience can be accumulated, skills can be practiced, and physical qualities such as strength, physical fitness, and explosiveness can also be improved through training, but consciousness, reaction, and psychological quality can’t be practiced."

"The traditional advantage of our China Men's Basketball Team has always been the inside line. Even if we do not perform well in this competition, the main player in scoring points is still inside. I really think we can also produce a good defender." Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yao. Said, "I think you are very hopeful."

   Xiao Yao lowered his head slightly and said nothing, as if he really started to think about it.

Chen Yang said again: "I know that your acting career is developing very well now, and you have already opened your own film and television company. Now it is indeed an incredible thing to switch careers. However, the professional career of an athlete is actually very short. Basketball players generally retire in their thirties. But for actors and singers, especially male actors, their 30s are the mature age and the peak period. If you switch to a basketball player, wait for you to play When you retire, you can switch back to continue to be an actor and singer."

"Of course, the lack of more than ten years in the middle will definitely have an impact." Chen Yang said, "However, once you are a star now, as long as you can become a professional player, you are a star player. As long as your performance is not bad, you can maintain your reputation and return to acting in the future. In the circle, it will be easier to have a famous foundation. Secondly, your kid is a monster. I believe you will definitely make yourself popular in the entertainment industry when you are in your thirties. Thirdly, even if you return to the entertainment industry after retiring. If you succeed, or you don’t want to go back to the show business at all, with your mind of the top candidate in the college entrance examination and the ability to speak a few foreign languages, you will definitely not worry about making a living in the future."

"It's not that we haven't seen athletes who switched to mixed entertainment after retiring, but a popular acting star switched to a professional athlete. No one has ever done this before." Chen Yang stared into Xiao Yao's eyes. " Don't you want to challenge it?"

   Xiao Yao moved his brows and turned to look at Sun Tingting beside him.

  Sun Tingting, who had been silent for a while, saw Xiao Yao's opinion, patted the back of Xiao Yao's hand, and smiled gently: "I will support you in whatever you do!"
