Entertaining Children

  Chapter 693 Halftime performance

After Guo Qi's empty dunk, the blue team has extended the lead to five points. After two consecutive empty dunks at the same time, the blue team's momentum has become apparent. So amidst the screams and cheers of the audience, the head coach of the red team, Zhao Fengnian, decisively called a timeout.

  The red team called a one-hundred-second long timeout. After the players returned to the bench, the cheerleaders performed, and the blue team’s two empty dunks were played back in slow motion on the big screen.

  "This is your secret weapon?" Chen Nuo asked Xiao Yao and Guo Qi curiously.

  The match between Xiao Yao and Bilsa must have been Xiao Yao's improvisation. But for the ball Xiao Yao passed to Guo Qi, Guo Qi rushed to the opponent's basket at full speed after Xiao Yao received the ball, while Xiao Yao did not advance at full speed, as if waiting for Guo Qi to fall into position. It looks like it has been premeditated and practiced.

"No, what kind of secret weapon is my dunk?" Guo Qi smiled and shook his head. "The ball I used to hit the opponent's inside line during a normal fast break. I originally wanted to get stuck in a favorable position under the basket and then catch the ball or grab a rebound. Yes. Actually, I didn’t expect him to pass the ball in like that, but I am familiar with him and I was less surprised by him passing the ball, so I reacted faster than others. A player of my level encountered this. Of course, the opportunity for this cannot be wasted!"

   "This kind of cooperation is not a secret weapon, what does your secret weapon look like?" Chen Nuo was a little speechless.

   "Wait and see, as long as we can play it, we are guaranteed to be even more exciting than this one!" Guo Qi smiled triumphantly.

   After the timeout, the red team did not make any personnel adjustments, but the blue team replaced Xiao Yao, who was very eye-catching, with Miao Cheng who played less in the first quarter.

  This time, no audience booed Wei Zhiping's replacement of Xiao Yao. After all, it’s been almost four minutes in the second quarter. Xiao Yao just fell again. Although he didn’t seem to be injured, the moment he was hit by the **** guy, Evans, looked scary. He should have a rest after the game.

  After the players came on the field, the cameras on the scene caught the red team coach Zhao Fengnian shaking his head helplessly at Wei Zhiping.

   "We saw Director Zhao pointing at Wei Wei and shaking his head, and seemed to be dissatisfied with Wei Gui." He Jian smiled.

"Yes," Zhou Qun also said cheerfully, "the red team did not change, so this time Director Zhao called a timeout mostly to limit Xiao Yao's performance and specially arranged some tactics, but he did not expect that Director Wei would replace Xiao Yao. Yao changed it."

   "Does that mean that the timeout of Director Zhao was a white call?" He Jian asked with a smile.

  "It's not entirely a white call," Zhou Qun laughed. "This timeout at least interrupted the blue team's continuous scoring momentum. However, it is estimated that it has not fully achieved the expected goal of Zhao's guidance."

   "It seems that not only the two foreign aids are getting serious, but the two head coaches are also getting serious and starting to fight!" He Jian smiled.

  The red team is back to the situation of trying to chase points, but this time Zhao Fengnian does not want to put the pressure of chasing points on foreign aid. After playing for more than a minute, Zhao Fengnian replaced the foreign aid Evans with the opportunity of a dead ball, and Wei Zhiping of the blue team also replaced Bielsa accordingly.

In the next four to five minutes, Wei Zhiping successively replaced Guo Qi and Chen Nuo with two professional players for rest. The red team also replaced Yu Junzhe and Xu Yue, giving performance opportunities to non-professional players. The stars of the players.

  With no professional players on the court on both sides, the non-professional players of the blue team also played very proactively and did not lose the lead. The point difference between the two teams has been between three and five points, and the blue team has been leading the red team.

  With about three minutes left in the second quarter, the game entered the official timeout again. After this timeout, both the red and blue teams sent two male professional players. At the same time, Xiao Yao and Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had a rest with Xu Yue, also appeared again.

After Xiao Yao came on the court, he still played the position of the point guard, while Guo Qi ran to the basket to play inside. In the remaining three minutes of the second quarter, Xiao Yao sent out two assists again, raising his assist number to nine.

It is also worth mentioning that after a defensive shift, Xiao Yao, who rushed into the corner of the three-point line in front of Cai Yue, bumped his foot. Although he raised his hand, he abruptly stopped his body from jumping up. To block Cai Yue, who is ten centimeters tall and short, shoots. As a result, Cai Yue's three-pointer hit the front of the basket and bounced back. Xiao Yao, who was standing in front of Cai Yue, just picked up a frontcourt offensive rebound after turning around. With the addition of a defensive rebound he grabbed before, Xiao Yao also increased his rebounding number to six.

  Only in scoring, Xiao Yao still did not break the fast. In the meantime, I tried an open three-pointer and a mid-range jumper against Junzhe Shi, all of which bounced out of the box.

  At the end of the final half, the blue team led the red team 44 to 38, maintaining a six-point advantage.

  The rest time between the first half and the second half of the basketball game is fifteen minutes, and some performances are also arranged. The organizers invited some professional streetball players to perform streetball performances and also performed some dunk performances. Streetball performances are quite enjoyable to everyone, but there are two empty dunks by Bilsa and Guo Qi. Those dunk performances that don't have too many tricks are less flavorful to the audience.

The   street ball performance only lasted for about seven or eight minutes, and the rest of the time was a cheerleading performance that most people liked to see.

In this charity star game, the organizers also invited several cheerleaders to perform. Some of them are cheerleaders from clubs in the China Pro League, one is from the US Basketball Club, and the other is not a professional cheerleader. They were the most eye-catching student cheerleaders in the China University Basketball League last year. All the members are college students. Not to mention their beautiful appearance, they are said to be members of the school dance club.

  A total of two cheerleaders performed during the halftime performance, and the one that appeared later was the college cheerleader.

  From the appearance of their outfits, they are quite special. Although the upper body is uniformly dressed in a white vest in the style of a basketball uniform, and the lower body is also a combination of short hot pants and basketball shoes, but there is no hand-cranked flower commonly used by cheerleaders, and a black baseball cap is also worn on the head. .

After a dozen cheerleaders stood in the center of the stadium and stood at the forefront of the team, a long-haired girl who looked like the captain suddenly made a pause in the direction of the control room in the stadium, turned her head and ran towards the blue. The team's bench.

   "Xiao Yao, please go up and dance this dance with us, okay?" The long-haired girl ran to Xiao Yao who was sitting on the bench of the blue team and asked.

   "Huh? You want me to dance?" Xiao Yao pointed to his nose in surprise. No one told him beforehand that this one was arranged

"Little girl, are you afraid that it is not a spy sent by the red team?" Zhang Yi, who was sitting next to Xiao Yao, stared at the long-haired girl and said, "Xiao Yao will play in the second half. You are deliberately spending it. Is his physical strength?"

"Ah? No, no!" The long-haired girl waved her hands in embarrassment, "It's just that the music of the dance we are going to dance was created by Xiao Yao, and the dance was also made by him, so I just wanted to pull him up to follow. Let's dance together."

  "The music I wrote, or the dance I choreographed? When did I choreograph for your cheerleaders?" Xiao Yao was even more dazed.

   "You didn't make it for us, we learned it from the Internet, it was that..." the long-haired girl explained.

  ""Seve"?" Xiao Yao blurted out. The dance he choreographed online can be performed as a cheerleader dance on this occasion. It is definitely not a professional street dance of the "Dawn" or "Rapid" dance troupe. It can only be given to Zhu Zitong and Nina. .That dance choreographed by Ai Guli.

   "That's right, that's the one!" The long-haired girl nodded repeatedly.

"But I haven't cooperated with you. Did you dance the same as Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiguli in the video?" Xiao Yao asked, "At least the foot movements should be the same as in the video, otherwise the jump is chaotic. It doesn't look good." Hearing that it was this dance, Xiao Yao immediately became interested. However, the randomness of that dance is quite large, Xiao Yao didn't want to go up and dance differently from the others, messy and ridiculous.

The dance Xiao Yao compiled for Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiyiguli is based on the dance video movements of the two Mongolian girls in the previous life. It combines the movements of many other people in the dance video collection, and even added it. The combination of some special shuffle dance moves is a complete dance consistent with the length of the song. Xiao Yao remembers every movement in this dance. If they are exactly the same as those in Zhu Zitong's video, Xiao Yao is confident that he can cooperate.

   "Same, we didn't change the action, we promised to dance the same as they were in the video." The long-haired girl heard Xiao Yao's meaning and immediately promised.

   "Okay, I'll go!" Xiao Yao stood up and said, "A dance, you can't waste much energy. Besides, I have rested for more than ten minutes."

   "Really, that's great!" The long-haired girl leaped for joy, grabbed Xiao Yao's arm and pulled him to the middle of the field.

  Fifteen minutes of intermission. The broadcast of China's basketball games generally does not broadcast the images of cheerleading performances. The previous streetball performances and dunk performances were broadcast on TV, but when it was the turn of the cheerleaders to perform, there were advertisements on TV. When the previous cheerleader performed, the advertisement had already been played. The TV screen cut to the studio. Two commentators were commenting on the performance of the two teams in the first half of the game. He Jian suddenly found that something went wrong on the scene.

"Hey, there seems to be something wrong with the cheerleading team on the field. A cheerleader made a time-out gesture and ran to the bench of the blue team." He Jian could not help seeing the cheerleader running to the bench of the blue team. Guessed, "Are you going to participate in the competition and perform with the stars? If it is, then it will be interesting."

  Following He Jian's words, there was also a scene on TV of the cheerleader negotiating with Xiao Yao on the bench of the blue team. Pure cheerleading performances are not broadcast on TV, but if there are celebrities participating in the performance, it is a different matter. Lin Jin’s singing was broadcast at the beginning, so the celebrity dancing must also be broadcast. Even if the celebrity did not agree, switching the signal back to the studio would not affect anything, so the director also relayed the cheerleader's invitation to the celebrity to perform together.

"It seems to be Xiao Yao?" Zhou Qun laughed. "As far as I know, there is no arrangement for stars to appear in midfield performances. This should be an idea that cheerleaders thought of temporarily, but we saw the work on site. The staff did not stop, obviously they are also happy to see the stars go up and dance with the cheerleaders.

  "Why did you come to Xiao Yao again?" He Jian asked strangely, "I heard that Zhuo Zhiyuan is also very good at dancing. Is it because Xiao Yao is young and speaks better?"

"It's not necessarily because Xiao Yao is young, it may be that Xiao Yao is more relaxed, there is no burden." Zhou Qun laughed, "By the way, a few of Xiao Yao's gossip. Don't look at the media always saying that Xiao Yao is difficult to interview, it seems It’s hard to get in touch, but Xiao Yao once organized his fans to play flash mobs on the street and dance for his girlfriend. Some time ago, he was an online anchor, and before, he helped an internet celebrity anchor live on the road. Guitar accompaniment. It's probably because of these deeds that the little cheerleader girl dared to go to Ra Xiaoyao to dance."

"Oh, Xiao Yao stood up, it seems that he really agreed!" He Jian said with a smile, "The audience at the scene and in front of the TV are blessed. Not only can they see Xiao Yao playing, but also Xiao Yao. dancing."

   "Xiao Yao is going to dance with the cheerleaders, where are the applause and cheers?" Seeing Xiao Yao being pulled onto the court by a cheerleader girl, standing between them, the DJ on the scene exclaimed in excitement.

   "Wow~" The audience cheered and screamed excitedly who knew what was going to happen.

   "Well, do you mind if I grab a bit of your limelight?" After being pulled onto the court, Xiao Yao smiled and asked the long-haired girl who pulled him onto the court.

   "You must be the focus of the audience when you come up. If we are afraid you will grab the limelight, I will not pull you up." The long-haired girl laughed.

   "Okay!" Xiao Yao said, bending down, and pressing a button on the basketball shoe he was wearing, and the light on his sneaker turned on.

  In this star charity competition, the organizers don't mind that the stars take the opportunity to advertise the brands they endorse. In addition to uniformly produced team uniforms, many star players have put on tight-fitting sportswear of their own brand in it, and some people wear tight sports shorts that exceed the length of their shorts.

   Xiao Yao obviously will not let go of this opportunity to advertise with integrity. Although he didn't wear tight-fitting sportswear or sports shorts underneath, he also wore a short-sleeved T-shirt underneath the jersey. The T-shirts he wears, the braces on his wrists, the sports headbands on his head and the basketball shoes on his feet are all specially customized for him by the design studio, and they all have the "sys" logo on them. As for Heisi's most characteristic lighting system, wrist guards and headbands are not suitable. The T-shirt has a limited number of parts exposed on the jersey, and it has not been installed. It is just installed on the basketball shoes.

  Although there is a lighting system on the sneakers, it is silly to turn on the lights on the sneakers during the game. Xiao Yao asked the people in the studio to make such a pair of specially-made sneakers, but he was not sure whether there was a performance opportunity to turn on the lighting system. The dance performance in the midfield is undoubtedly a very good performance opportunity.

   "Wow~" When the audience saw the lights on Xiao Yao's shoes, many people also exclaimed.

  The live lighting during the midtime performance is different from that during the game, so it is obvious when the lights on Xiao Yao's shoes are on.

"Wow, there are lights on your shoes!" The audience can see it, and the cheerleaders on the field will not be able to find it. Several girls closer to Xiao Yao also called out, "What is this Shoes?"

   Even if they don’t play basketball, there are quite a few girls who wear basketball shoes just to look good. What's more, these dancing girls have more opportunities to wear basketball shoes. They are naturally also very interested in such cool shoes.

  "This is a customized lighting shoe." Xiao Yao smiled and raised his right wrist, pointing to the logo on the wrist brace, and said, "I'm a product of the personal brand that Yin Xi and I are cooperating with."

  Xiao Yao’s illuminated basketball shoes are very eye-catching, and the dialogue with several cheerleading girls was also put on the big screen and the TV broadcast on the scene. It is easy for everyone to see what they are talking about from their movements and expressions, so the shoes on Xiao Yao's feet and the wristband with the brand logo also got a close-up of the live camera.
