Entertaining Children

  End of Chapter 691 First Section

  "Good goal! Liu Haoming was completely unguarded, and shot from the middle distance...Oh, it's a pity that he didn't make it!" The two commentators also shouted regretfully.

"The ball was obviously passed to Chen Nuo to the left, but it suddenly flew to the right. Did Xiao Yao use his fingers behind the back to dial the ball in the opposite direction?" Yu Junzhe didn't immediately launch a fast attack after grabbing the rebound. , The two commentators also discussed Xiao Yao's pass. Although the blue team did not score this goal, Xiao Yao's weird pass is worth talking about.

"No," Zhou Qun said with a smile and shook his head. "The situation in Xiao Yao just now was that his right hand had been thrown out to the left, and he had not wrapped the basketball. It was impossible to dial the basketball back with his fingers. The basketball was hit in the air. By the time Xiao Yao’s left arm bounced back. But it was accidentally hit or Xiao Yao deliberately did it, I’m not sure now, let’s see if there is a slow-motion playback for a while."

  Without such a good opportunity, Liu Haoming slapped his head in annoyance, and made an apologetic gesture to Xiao Yao.

   Xiao Yao didn't care too much, smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was all right, and ran back to the backcourt with him to defend.

The red team’s frontcourt is now two-on-two. With Bilsa defending Evans and Zhang Yi defending Jiang Qiao, it’s difficult for the opponents’ frontcourt teammates to receive the kind of ultra-long-distance long pass that crosses the entire court. , So Yu Junzhe did not launch a fast break with a long pass, but dribbled the ball forward normally.

For the next goal, Yu Junzhe broke through and gave the basketball to Jiang Qiao in the bottom corner. Jiang Qiao immediately transferred the ball to Evans at a 45-degree angle. Evans took the ball and dribbled it. Zhang Yi shook off the pounced, and before Xiao Yao came up, he pulled up a jumper and made a mid-range shot, scoring two more points.

  Offensive and defensive conversion. Xiao Yao, who dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, did not raise his hand to ask his teammates to move according to the tactics. Instead, he passed the basketball to Chen Nuo, who was mentioned on the line to support him, and took a step to avoid defending himself. Jiang Qiao, rushed to the basket.

   suppressed Xu Yue who was defending himself backwards, Chen Nuo tossed the basketball one more time, and then passed the basketball to Xiao Yao, who had already started to cut into the basket. From the front point of view, this ball is basically a copy of the first goal scored by the blue team. It was just that Xiao Yao was replaced by Chen Nuo in the line support, and Guo Qi was replaced by Xiao Yao in the air cut after passing the ball. It's just that Chen Nuo didn't make a fake move to pass the ball in the opposite direction before passing the ball.

  This tactic has been played once by the blue team, and the red team cannot fail to be careful. Seeing Xiao Yao catching the ball, Xu Yue immediately gave up Chen Nuo and pounced towards Xiao Yao from the side. Evans also came over from the other side more quickly to make up the defense, and Zhuo Zhiyuan came from the bottom line to make up for Chen who was vacated. promise.

  The red team's assisting defense and replenishment speed is much faster than at the opening. Xiao Yao immediately fell into a double-team as soon as he entered the three-second zone. But Xiao Yao still started to jump up, seeming to force a layup under the guard between the two.

   Xiao Yao is not Guo Qi after all. Although Evans returned to the defense and blocked Xiao Yao's layup line, he just raised his hands and did not take off defense. At the same time, Evans also paid attention to Zhang Yi, who moved from outside the three-point line to the basket with his eye. When Xiao Yao layup, but facing Zhang Yi's side, he might split the ball midway through the layup at any time. By this time, everyone had seen Xiao Yao's passing ability, and Evans did not dare to take it lightly.

Sure enough, Xiao Yao, who took the basketball with his hands on his chest, did not make a move in the air. Instead, he stretched out his arms to his left, as if he was going to pass the ball to his left front and had already ran to the left basket. Zhang Yi under. When Evans saw him, he quickly turned to the right and faced Zhang Yi under the basket.

  However, Xiao Yao’s hands did not push the basketball out, but instead he bent his left arm and used his left hand to pass the basketball from the back of his head to his right.

  On the right side of the basket, Liu Haoming has also ran to the bottom corner of the three-second zone, just to catch Xiao Yao's pass. This time, Liu Haoming, whose shooting point was closer to the basket, didn't waste any more chances. He made the ball steadily and scored two points.

  Up to now, the players have inevitably experienced some physical decline and inattention. After Liu Haoming scored the ball, the blue team's players did not retreat too quickly, so despite the opponent's bottom line serving after the score, Yu Junzhe launched a fast attack immediately after receiving the ball.

  Yu Junzhe dribbled the ball quickly, and the players of the blue team immediately retired. They returned, but they did not have time to stand on the defensive position. After Yu Junzhe dribbled the ball directly into the basket, he encountered Bielsa's defense and immediately passed the ball to Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was already standing and undefended beyond the three-point line.

  In the face of such a rare open opportunity, Zhuo Zhiyuan made the ball-catching action early, and after he was ready to catch the ball, he made a three-point jumper. But before the basketball flew into his hand, a hand stretched out from the diagonal stab to pat the basketball. Because Yu Junzhe passed the ball very fast, this hand could not intercept the basketball, but hit the basketball beyond the sideline.

  Although the ball belongs to the red team, this is not a successful steal, but it has won the team the opportunity to rearrange the defense, which is definitely a successful defense. And it was Xiao Yao who made this successful defense.

  It turned out that Xiao Yao expected that Yu Junzhe would not be able to play Bilsa strongly at the basket, because after Junzhe started, he would guard against his pass. When he saw him pass the basketball to Zhuo Zhiyuan, he immediately stopped in the middle. It's a pity that he defended Jiang Qiao's position from Zhuo Zhiyuan. Even if it was started as soon as Junzhe made his basketball shot, he could not intercept the basketball, but could only hit the ball out.

  At this time, the first quarter was almost halfway through. Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, the game entered an official timeout.

  Official pause is generally reserved for advertising. However, after the official pause, the TV did not immediately show the commercial, but played a slow-motion replay of Xiao Yao's fast-attack just like the big screen at the scene.

  From the slow motion, you can clearly see Xiao Yao’s left arm swinging from left to right, which means that Xiao Yao deliberately knocked the basketball to Liu Haoming on the right. Seeing such a creative pass, the audience burst into a huge cheers.

   "Oh, this ball is really deliberately knocked over with the elbow of the left arm!" Zhou Qun looked at the slow motion replay and exclaimed, "This pass is really thoughtful, young people are creative, dare to think and dare to do it!"

   "It's Xiao Yao creative, right?" He Jian also laughed, "In the first half of the game, Xiao Yao was the most popular player. The advertising time was taken up by Xiao Yao's slow motion playback."

"But he is so showy that there is nothing to say." Zhou Qun laughed, "Now the score on the field is 11 to 7, and the blue team is leading by four points. Now the highest scorer on the field is Evans of the red team. , With five points, the blue team scored the highest score is Bielsa, which is a three-pointer, scored three points. But Xiao Yao alone got five assists, all of which are the same as Evans’s score. And these five assists were given to different teammates, not even one duplicate. The red team currently only scored two, but five of the blue team scored. At least for the blue team, the teammates are like Xiao Yao. There must be no objection to the way of showing up."

"How do you guys have this brain? You can think of this kind of passing motion?" The benches on both sides are also looking at the big screen hanging above the court at the moment. Liu Haoming rubbed Xiao Yao's hair affectionately, and then immediately Some regrets said, "It's a pity that I didn't make the ball, otherwise it must be the most exciting match tonight."

"It's okay," Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head. "Even if you didn't make a shot, wouldn't it be playing back my pass on the big screen? The limelight I should show up is still out. It's just that you didn't make a shot. It was cut off. If you feel it is a pity, you can do it for yourself."

   "Hey, you kid!" Liu Haoming pointed at Xiao Yao with a smile.

   "Five assists!" On the other side, Guo Qi pretended to be dissatisfied and said to Xiao Yao, "Are you trying to grab my position as a point guard?"

"I said I was playing outside, you have to suggest to Wei Wei to let me play inside." Xiao Yao also smiled deliberately, "Why don't I play when you are not present, I don't have to be fixed inside. ?"

   "I knew you had this kind of passing skills, so you know how to play, where do I need to spend my time practicing that secret weapon with you?" Guo Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

   "Do you still have secret weapons? What are they?" Chen Nuo, who was sitting on the other side of Guo Qi, also approached.

   "I'll know when I see it later." Guo Qi smiled mysteriously, "Now you can't disclose it in advance."

"Cut~" Chen Nuo gave Guo Qi a blank look, stretched his head and said to Xiao Yao through Guo Qi, "Xiao Yao, you have a lot of assists, but you still haven't scored any points yet. Would you like me for a while? Create a few opportunities for you? You secretly tell me your secret weapon!"

   "No," Guo Qi interjected with a smile, "Don't look at him now passing the ball and his scoring ability is not bad. When he switches to scoring mode to grab points, he is guaranteed to scare you as well."

   Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, without speaking. Judging from this attitude, it is obvious that it will not be revealed.

   "Okay, then I'll wait to see how you score!" Chen Nuo said deliberately in anger.

  Unfortunately, Chen Nuo’s wish cannot be realized for the time being. After this timeout, the two teams changed again.

  Blue team Xiao Yao, Zhang Yi and Bielsa were all replaced, replaced by Guo Qi and the other two players Lu Cheng and Zhang Chao who did not play. The red team replaced Evans, Yu Junzhe and Jiang Qiao, leaving Zhuo Zhiyuan and Xu Yue, who was later replaced, on the court.

  In the next period of time, the shooting percentages of the players of both teams have declined to varying degrees, and the excitement of the game has also declined to a certain extent compared to the first half. However, due to the lagging behind the score, the players of the red team were obviously more proactive and stronger. So although the excitement of the game has dropped a bit, the intensity has increased to a certain extent.

  On the offensive end, Zhuo Zhiyuan became the main offensive point of the red team because of Yu Junzhe’s end and gained more possession of the ball. Several decisive shots from mid-to-long range positions showed his strong offensive desire. In addition, he had several strong breakthroughs inside, facing Guo Qi's forced layup. Although only one goal was scored against Guo Qi's three shots, this courage also won applause from the audience and attracted fans to scream again and again.

   On the defensive end, Zhuo Zhiyuan's performance is also very eye-catching. He offered the second and third shots of the game, one of which was to block Miao Cheng's mid-range shot, and the other was to catch up with the blue team player Lu Cheng's layup during the fast break and give a slap to the fan. Fly away. It also caused exclamations and screams at the scene.

   With two minutes left in the first quarter, the red team, which was trying to chase points, replaced Evans, and the blue team replaced Bielsa accordingly.

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Evans, who was behind in the team's score, played more seriously than Bielsa. The specific manifestation is that his shots are obviously more than Bielsa, and he is further ahead in personal scoring. Birsa.

  In the second half of the first quarter, Xiao Yao has been sitting on the bench and was not replaced by coach Wei Zhiping. Especially in the timeout with two minutes left in the first quarter, Wei Zhiping replaced Chen Nuo and Liu Haoming, replaced by Bielsa but did not replace Xiao Yao, who was resting at the same time as Bielsa, but replaced with Miao. When it was completed, there was a boo in the audience.

  In the face of this boo, the cameras on the scene keenly caught Wei Zhiping with a wry smile and said something to Xiao Yao, who was sitting on the bench, seemingly complaining that Xiao Yao had caused him to be booed by the audience.

  In this regard, the two commentators also teased.

"We heard a booing sound at the scene. It should be that the audience was dissatisfied that Wei Gui did not replace Xiao Yao." He Jian smiled, "I didn't expect Wei Wei to be booed by the audience one day, whether it was before. As a player or as a coach, he probably hasn't experienced it before."

"In fact, I can understand the audience friends at the scene. I think many audiences in front of the TV should be the same." Zhou Qun also said with a smile, "Xiao Yao is famous and plays well. If I am an audience, I I also hope to see Xiao Yao playing more."

"But we also have to believe that Wei Zhiping must have his reasons for this arrangement." He Jian helped Wei Zhiping speak, "Although Xiao Yao and Bilsa ended up together and took the same long break, at least from the first quarter. In the first half of the performance, Xiao Yao played the point guard for a long time, and drove the ball too fast. His energy consumption must be a lot more than that of Bielsa, which makes him more. It’s also a reasonable arrangement to take a rest and ensure that you have plenty of physical energy to play the following games."

  Of course, this is for the audience. He Jian's real idea is that this is an exhibition game, and it would be meaningless if the score difference was opened early and the game lost suspense. Although Xiao Yao played a lot of flower work, it seemed very casual, but from his serious command of teammates to move, it can be seen that he is actually playing very seriously. The reason why Wei Zhiping refused to let Xiao Yao go was to give the red team a chance to chase points.

   The two teams at the end of the first quarter seemed to confirm He Jian’s guess. The red team chased the score to 16-17 and ended the first quarter with a slight disadvantage of only one point behind the blue team.
