Entertaining Children

   Chapter 692

  After a three-minute break, the second quarter began.

  In a normal professional game, most of the opening stages of the second quarter are dominated by substitute players, but in the opening stage of the second quarter of this exhibition game, the red and blue teams have produced a very strong lineup. The blue team sent all three professional players and Xiao Yao, and the red team also sent all three professional players and Zhuo Zhiyuan, who played for about ten minutes in the first quarter, was replaced. In addition, Zhang Chao of the blue team and Shi Jingsheng of the red team are also young and strong players with good height and playing fairly well in the first quarter.

  Because the blue team got the ball when the first quarter jumped the ball, the red team got the ball at the beginning of the second quarter, and the red team took the lead.

The blue team is still playing zone defense tactics, but because Evans made continuous shots at the end of the first quarter and felt very good, so the blue team’s defensive staff also made some adjustments and put Bielsa on the outside to defend against Egypt. Vince. At the same time, because Xiao Yao performed well in the fast break in the first quarter, the head coach put Xiao Yao on the outside defensive position. Zhang Chao, Chen Nuo, and Guo Qi stood on the three defenders closer to the basket. position.

  The red team is still in possession of the ball by professional player Yu Junzhe. After dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Yu Junzhe still passed the ball to foreign aid Evans first. Facing the defense of his old opponent Bielsa, Evans did not force a shot, but quickly passed the ball to Zhuo Zhiyuan in the bottom corner.

  Zhuo Zhiyuan took a step towards the basket after receiving the ball, and then faced Guo Qi's defensive back jumper. The basketball hit the basket and bounced out, but Xu Yue, who swam inside, overwhelmed Chen Nuo and grabbed the offensive rebound. After landing, he shot a small throw and avoided Chen Nuo's block and shot the ball under the basket. .

  18 to 17, the red team overtook the blue team in the score for the first time.

  The blue team serves from the bottom line. Chen Nuo caught the basketball falling from the basket, stood on one foot outside the bottom line and threw the basketball to Guo Qi in front of him. He immediately dropped the other raised foot on the court, towards the opponent's half of the court. Run away.

   It is quite surprising that Guo Qi did not dribble the ball after catching the ball, but threw the basketball to Xiao Yao who was standing near the three-point line of his own side, and ran to the opponent's half empty-handed. This also means that in the presence of Guo Qi, the blue team actually gave Xiao Yao the task of organizing the ball.

   However, considering Xiao Yao's five assists in the first quarter, it seems reasonable to do so. Thinking of Xiao Yao's wonderful passing in the first quarter, the audience couldn't help but get excited.

   Slowly advanced to the front court with the ball, Xiao Yao did not raise his left hand to make a circle to ask his teammates to move, but pointed his finger at the floor in front of him. Guo Qi rolled his eyes. He, who was already in the bottom corner, walked around to the left side of the red team player Shi Jingsheng who was defending Xiao Yao. He clenched his fists and crossed his chest to help Xiao Yao set up a one-block screen.

   Xiao Yao immediately dribbled to the right. Yu Junzhe, who followed Guo Qi to the outside line, immediately changed positions with his teammates and defended Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao didn’t force Yu Junzhe, who didn’t fully stand on the defensive position. Instead, he quickly passed the basketball to Guo Qi, who turned around and ran to the free throw line after completing one-block screens, completing a standard pick-and-roll coordination. .

  At this time, Shi Jingsheng, who was changing defense, was thrown behind by Guo Qi. Guo Qi jumped up after receiving the ball and made a shooting posture. Evans at the basket had to take a step to make up for Guo Qi and jumped to block the shots. Facing Evans's jump defense, Guo Qi did not make a shot, but passed the basketball in the air to Zhang Chao who cut into the basket. When Zhang Chao caught the ball behind Evans, he was at the basket and unguarded, and he steadily made a close shot from the basket.

  Although there is no direct assist, Xiao Yao and Guo Qi's pick-and-roll cooperation is still very beautiful. Xiao Yao played the ball very decisively and quickly, and the position of the pass was also in place. After receiving the ball, Guo Qi can take off and shoot almost without adjustments. Even if Evans makes up the defense, there is still a certain distance from Guo Qi. Even if Guo Qi makes a direct shot, it is difficult to be blocked, but he chooses In a more secure way, the ball was passed to a teammate closer to the basket. For this wonderful cooperation of the blue team, the audience also gave a round of applause.

  19 to 18, the blue team also successfully exceeded the score again.

  In the next few rounds, the two teams suddenly lost their hand feeling collectively and did not score.

Although Xiao Yao also delivered a few good shots during this period and gave the basketball to his teammates in the open position, the red team closed the basket tightly, and the blue team got several open shot opportunities in the outside line. The teammates with poor touch didn't make it, so Xiao Yao's assists stayed at five in the first quarter. During this period, Xiao Yao, who had not made a shot in the first quarter, also tried his own shots, but unfortunately he did not make any shots in the open mid-to-long range.

  But Xiao Yao is not without gain. Although the points and assists did not change, Xiao Yao had a better awareness of rebounding and protection of rebounds. He also had a good judgment on the landing after the basketball came out. He grabbed two defensive rebounds that bounced farther after the opponent's shots hit the basket.

  Until more than two minutes later, the score on the field changed again.

  This is a red team offense.

  Due to the poor collective feel of the two teams, the blue team also strengthened the defense at the basket, and the red team also played more patiently and did not make blind shots from the outside. After several passes, Zhuo Zhiyuan, who took the ball, rushed to the basket of the blue team. Facing the basket and jumping up high, Guo Qi under the hood, Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had already started with the ball, did not force a shot, but threw the basketball to Yu Junzhe at the top of the outside three-point arc.

  Originally retracted slightly, Xiao Yao, who stood at the free throw line for defense, stepped into the pass line between Zhuo Zhiyuan and Yu Junzhe, and stretched out his left hand to stop Zhuo Zhiyuan's basket.

   Xiao Yao’s interception failed to copy the basketball directly into his hand, but instead hit the basketball in front of him. Since he was already close to the three-point line, there was no one in front of Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao immediately rushed for two steps and was controlled by the basketball he was playing forward, and drove the ball directly to the opponent's half. .

   "Xiao Yao steals the ball and fast break!" He Jian called. Seeing Xiao Yao steal the ball, the two commentators were also excited.

Yu Junzhe in the front side saw Zhuo Zhiyuan’s passing motion. He was moving forward to catch the ball. He was running towards the basket. When he stopped, he turned and chased Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao had already gone far. There is no way to chase it.

  But he can't catch up, there are others who can catch up. Although Evans, who was standing at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, could not intercept Xiao Yao's cut, he was not too far away from Xiao Yao at this time, and he didn't need to make a 180-degree turn. Seeing Xiao Yao rushing to the basket with the ball, Evans actually followed Xiao Yao in pursuit.

   "Evans is catching up." Zhou Qun said with some surprise, "Such an active pursuit, it seems that Evans is really serious!"

  After entering the three-point line, Xiao Yao held the ball in both hands and started layup. After stepping into the three-second zone in the second step, Xiao Yao, who rose into the sky, held the ball in his right hand, straightened his arm, and raised the basketball high. At this time, Evans, who was running fast, had also rushed behind Xiao Yao, raised his arms and jumped up.

   "Xiao Yao got up! Evans behind him was chasing very close. This ball is in danger of being chased and blocked." Zhou Qun said with some worry.

  It seems that the situation behind him is normal. Xiao Yao raised his right hand of the basketball and did not make a shot. Instead, he held his chest and abdomen in the air and retracted his right hand in front of him. In this way, Evans, who was chasing defense, definitely had no chance to block shots, but Xiao Yao, who had already begun to fall, had his head under the backboard and was still flying out of the court, and it seemed that he had no angle to shoot.

  Although he did not cover Xiao Yao, Evans also successfully blocked Xiao Yao's shooting angle, which looked like a successful defense. Unexpectedly, before landing, Xiao Yao handed the basketball to his left hand, stretched his left arm straight behind him, and threw the basketball into the air behind him.

   "Xiao Yao didn't make a shot and threw the ball behind him..." He Jian, who was explaining, suddenly raised his volume and shouted, "Behind Bilsa followed! Bilsa caught the ball dunk in the air!"

   When Xiao Yao steals the ball, Bielsa, who defends against Evans, is the closest teammate to Xiao Yao in the Blue team. Seeing Evans chasing Xiao Yao, Bilsa also followed behind and rushed towards the opponent's half. It's just that he started slower than Evans and fell behind the two. Seeing the basketball being thrown into the air by Xiao Yao, Bilsa, who had already started to decelerate, immediately accelerated again, leaped high, grabbed the basketball in the air, and dunked the basketball into the hoop.

  "Wow~" Seeing this wonderful aerial relay dunk, many audience members jumped from their seats, waving their hands and cheering.

  Bilsa, who completed the dunk dunk in the air relay, was also very excited, and triumphantly hammered his chest with his fists at the audience.

   On the other side, Xiao Yao is in a miserable situation. Xiao Yao, who wanted to pass the ball, held his chest and abdomen in the air, and forcibly stopped some of the forward momentum, while Evans tried his best to chase and defend, completely letting go of the speed and rushing forward. Xiao Yao, who flew outside the bottom line before landing completely, was hit in the air by Evans, who was not close behind him. After being hit by a two-hundred-pound black man like this, Xiao Yao lost his center of gravity in the air. How could he stand still. After landing, he barely staggered twice before turning over and falling into a group of people sitting under the basket holding the camera. Among the photographers.

   "Ah~ Xiao Yao was hit by Evans when he was falling, and he fell directly into the pile of people under the basket. I hope he won't get hurt." Zhou Qun said nervously.

  "Woo~" Seeing Xiao Yao fly out, the audience also exclaimed.

Hearing this exclamation, Bilsa immediately turned his head and looked under the basket, and found a figure in a blue jersey among the chaotic photographers. He quickly walked over and held out one with Evans. His hand pulled Xiao Yao up from the crowd.

   Stretched out both hands to take Evans and Bilsa one hand, and after being pulled up by them, Xiao Yao immediately let go of the two hands, jumped on the spot, and smiled to indicate that he was okay.

  Evans saw that Xiao Yao was okay, smiled and patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder, and then left to pick up the basketball on the ground after giving a thumbs up. Bilsa smiled and placed his left hand on Xiao Yao's head, and patted his right hand on the back of his left hand with his right hand. Xiao Yao shrank his head exaggeratedly.

"Haha, it seems that Xiao Yao is okay." Zhou Qun breathed a sigh of relief and explained to the audience by the way, "Slapped the head is a usual celebration of many European and American players. Bielsa is in Xiao Yao no matter his age, fame or status in basketball. Above, this is Bilsa’s act of showing appreciation and intimacy to Xiao Yao. Moreover, Bilsa deliberately put his hand on Xiao Yao’s head. In fact, he took his own hand, which is considered to be considering the two countries. The culture is different."

"Xiao Yao had a year of studying as an exchange student in the United States. He should be able to understand this behavior." He Jian also continued, "He deliberately made such an exaggerated expression, but he was actually acting. "

"The ball just now was really wonderful! With the shot angle blocked, Xiao Yao can still pass the ball out and give his teammates a chance to dunk dunks in the air relay. This ability to respond is really not easy!" After the explanation, He Jian commented on the ball just now.

"Did you find out? Xiao Yao has taken this game a little bit differently. Especially when he is on the court, this change is more obvious." Zhou Qun smiled and said, "Evans and Bielsa are in the game. In the previous interview, I said that I would give more performance opportunities to other people. At the beginning of the game, both of them were in a "master ball" posture. But Xiao Yao steals the ball and breaks fast, Evans He actually went back to defend. In the second half of the first quarter, the red team had a hard time chasing points. I guess Evans didn't want the blue team's momentum to be brought back by Xiao Yao."

"Yes," He Jian nodded, "Bilsa followed the fast break, probably not because of Evans, because they are the offensive side, Evans is going to defend. He followed the fast off, it should be affected. In the first quarter, Xiao Yao’s whimsical pass during the fast break was affected, so he was so active to follow up, probably because he was thinking about what Xiao Yao could play with him beautifully. Of course, Bilsa shouldn’t. Disappointed, the dunk dunks in this aerial relay played very well!"

  Bilsa’s dunk not only successfully ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, but also inspired the spirit of the players on the field.

  Evans walked outside the bottom line with the basketball and threw the basketball directly to Yu Junzhe who returned to catch the ball near the center line. Yu Junzhe took advantage of Xiao Yao and Bilsa before they returned to the defense, and directly launched an offense with the dribble.

   Taking advantage of this four-on-three opportunity, Yu Junzhe rushed into the basket of the blue team and divided the ball to Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was undefended outside the three-second zone. After receiving the ball, Zhuo Zhiyuan deceived Zhang Chao who charged up to defend with a false shooting. He drove the ball to the inside. Facing Chen Nuo who had come up on defense, Zhuo Zhiyuan made a slight change in his dribble. Xiang, followed Chen Nuo and forced a layup.

   Chen Nuo did not occupy a favorable defensive position, but his arm was still held high. Zhuo Zhiyuan also suffered some interference from Chen Nuo when he shot, but the layup that squeezed Chen Nuo did not make it.

  Zhang Chao scored the rebound and quickly passed it to Xiao Yao who had already returned to his own half.

   Seeing that Xiao Yao turned and dribbled after receiving the ball and ran back, everyone rushed towards the red team's half.

  Everyone is running back, but the speed is not fast. At this time, the formation on the court was relatively loose. Although it was not a counterattack with a steal, it was still a chance for a fast break. However, Xiao Yao didn't dribble the ball very fast, but he dribbled the ball to the opponent's half at a medium speed.

  When there were still two steps away from the three-point line, Xiao Yao's right hand dribbled up suddenly and smashed the basketball to the floor in front of him. After the basketball rebounded, it flew high, and when it fell near the bottom line of the red team, it was not far from the basket. Just when most people's attention was attracted by the basketball in the air, Guo Qi suddenly rushed out from behind Yu Junzhe, jumped high and grabbed the basketball in the air, then pressed with one arm and dunked the basketball. Into the basket.

   "God! Another one!" The audience on the scene saw the ball, suddenly crazy!
