"During next month's National Day holiday, there are a lot of performance opportunities, and the school is on vacation, I don't know if you have any performance activities, and if there is a schedule?" Chen Yang asked Xiao Yao.

"Yo, why do you ask about my schedule? I'm very free during the National Day holiday, you don't want to introduce me to the performance activities, right?" Xiao Yao smiled.

"It's not an introduction, it's an invitation. Chen Yang said, "Our Basketball Association and Haiyan Video jointly organized a star charity basketball game, and we would like to invite you to participate." It's not a guest performer, it's a member of the team. Of course, if you can be a player and perform in the opening or half-time, we are more than welcome. ”

"Is it a regular competition?" Xiao Yao immediately asked. Speaking of playing basketball, Xiao Yao is still very interested.

"Of course it's a regular game!" Chen Yang said, "The whole game, there are referees, coaches, and players, and both the game time and the rules of the game are in accordance with the regular game." ”

"Who are the players in that game?" Xiao Yao then asked. In the Star Charity Competition, the players of the competition must be stars, but there are many kinds of stars.

"Our plan is to split into two teams of nine to ten players each, and the list has not yet been fully decided. Chen Yang said, "Now it is confirmed that there are two retired star players of the American professional basketball team, four active players of our Chinese national team, two men's basketball and two women's basketball players, all of whom are professional players." The rest are all stars in your entertainment industry, so I won't tell you one by one. ”

"We want to ensure the quality and excitement of the game, in addition to finding six professional players, the stars we are looking for are basically all good at playing basketball and playing well. Remembering that Xiao Siqi told Chen Yang about the reason why Xiao Yao refused to participate in "Challenge the Champion", Chen Yang continued, "I have seen you play basketball, and you were able to play like that with Guo Qi three years ago, and now you must be even more powerful, and you are definitely qualified to participate in this charity basketball game." Generally speaking, the members of the acting stars are invited by Haiyan Video, but you are the only acting star I invited. ”

"Okay, you can play ball and do charity, and the most important thing is that you can't give face to the new vice president of the Basketball Association, I promise you, I'll go!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.

"Come on, I see that you are still moved by what I said, and you want to fight with the masters, right?" Chen Yang pouted, "It's not that I don't know your character, now don't say that I am the vice chairman of the Basketball Association, even the chairman of the Basketball Association, you may not give face." ”

After saying both things, he also got a satisfactory answer, Chen Yang was also in a good mood, and turned his head to chat with Xiao Yao about other idle articles.

Chen Yang just came forward to invite people, and the details of the specific time, place and process of the event had special personnel to contact and communicate with the star's team, and there was no need for Chen Yang, the big guy, to do it himself. After sending Xiao Yao to the hotel where Li Ai was staying and picking up his car, Chen Yang said goodbye to Xiao Yao and left.

Xiao Yao already had a draft in mind to write the theme song of the league, and it was not difficult to do, and the deadline was around October 20th, which was still very long, Xiao Yao had no intention of starting it immediately. On the contrary, it is a basketball game, the time is closer, Xiao Yao has not played for a long time, taking advantage of this time to be relatively free, Xiao Yao still plans to spend time practicing more and find more feel for playing.

It's still mid-September, and there are still more than two weeks before the basketball game, and if you practice, you can use your spare time, so Xiao Yao is not in a hurry, and after the weekend, he will go back to school on vacation.

In addition to attending classes and practicing, Xiao Yao's other private matter has also made progress. That is, the design drawings handed over to Chen Beila have finally been completed. Xiao Yao was very satisfied with it, and the warehouse of the small logistics company he bought could also be renovated and renovated. However, Xiao Yao doesn't need to worry too much about this matter, according to what was said before, Lin Qisan, the head snake, is responsible for finding someone to do these things, and Xiao Yao only needs to pay for it. Xiao Yao gave the design drawings to Lin Qisan, which is equivalent to throwing all the warehouse renovation to Lin Qisan, and he just waited for the final acceptance.

Half a month before the start of the National Day holiday, Haiyan Video's official website began to appear about the star charity basketball game in the early stage of the publicity report, which has attracted the attention of many media, after introducing the nature of the game and the identity of the players, a week before the start of the National Day holiday, Haiyan Video's official website began to announce the list of star players who confirmed the competition, and many media have also reprinted it.

The first to be announced were two former professional basketball players. Both of them are basketball superstars who have won professional basketball championships in their careers and have been selected as All-Stars many times. As soon as the news that the two would participate in the Star Charity Basketball Game in Huaxia came out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless basketball fans, and they paid attention to the Star Charity Basketball Game held during the National Day.

Next to be announced are the four national basketball players. Although these four are not as famous as the two superstars of American professional basketball, these four are players of their own national team, and fans feel more relatable, and it is still very rare for this kind of active professional player to appear in a star charity game with a team with an entertainment star, so fans are also very excited after learning the news.

Relatively speaking, the men's basketball game is much more concerned than the women's basketball game, and the men's basketball players are much more famous than the women's basketball players, but there is only one star charity game, which means that there will be transgender male and female athletes playing in the same game, and these two women's basketball players are still rated by fans as the two most beautiful female professional basketball players, so after the list of these four was announced together, the two women's basketball players received more attention than the two men's basketball players。

Among the two former American professional basketball players, one is a player who mainly plays the scoring guard position, the other is a player who mainly plays the small forward position, one is 1.95 meters tall, and the other is two meters tall, both are considered outside players. The two Chinese men's basketball players are an organizational guard and a scoring guard, one is 1.93 meters tall and the other is 1.96 meters tall, and they are also guards. One of the two Chinese women's basketball players is 1.95 meters tall and the other is 1.88 meters tall, although they both play forwards, but they don't have that kind of pure interior players. In other words, none of these six professional players is a full-time interior center player like Chen Yang.

The announcement of the list of these six professional players basically set the tone for this game, that is, at least to ensure the professionalism and enjoyment of this game. Needless to say, the professionalism of the tournament in which the six professional players participated, this game will certainly not be a particularly chaotic mess. There is no full-time center player among professional players, and the height and physical fitness of acting stars cannot compete with professional players, and it is an exhibition game, so there will be no very fierce interior hand-to-hand combat. In the eyes of ordinary people, basketball games that focus on the outside are definitely more enjoyable than those that focus on the inside.

At the same time, such a lineup of professional players, which is almost all outside players, also leaves full room for those star players to play. There are no moving walls under the basket, and it will be relatively easy for the stars of non-professional players to score.

Haiyan Video did not announce all the lineups at once, but announced them in batches at a rate of two to four places a day. After the six professional players, Haiyan Video's official website began to announce the list of star players in this charity basketball game.

As time passes, more and more star players are revealed. Judging from the announced lineup of performing arts star players, there are many popular big-name stars, and fans and fans of these performing arts stars are looking forward to the performance of these acting stars in the regular basketball game, and they are also looking forward to this charity basketball game.

Before the National Day holiday, Haiyan Video's official website not only announced the list of all 18 star players who participated in the game, but also helped these 18 players divide the team in advance and announced the teaming of the red and blue teams. As a result, some enthusiastic fans and fans discussed the comparison of the strength of the two teams, arguing about which team was stronger and more likely to win the game.

The organisers of the tournament must have tried to balance the strength of the two teams as much as possible. Therefore, the six professional players must be separated, and it is very evenly divided between the former American professional basketball players, the men's basketball players of the Chinese national team, and the women's basketball players, one from each team. Of the six professional players, two former American basketball players have won similar honors, and the Chinese men's and women's basketball players are also the main players of the national team and their respective clubs, at least from the perspective of professional players, it is difficult to say which team is stronger.

As a result, many fans and fans have set their sights on the lineup of acting stars.

When it comes to the players of the entertainment stars, it is not really known how good most of them are. After all, acting stars are not professional players, there are many fewer opportunities to play, and even if they do, they are mostly three-on-three, four-on-four half-games, even if they play regular full-time games, most of them are private matches between private friends, there is no broadcast, and they generally do not appear on TV or the Internet to be seen.

In such an environment, an official 1.88 meter tall star player who has shown good skills in reality show variety shows has naturally become the focus of most people's attention.

This acting star is called Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had the experience of living in the United States in his childhood and adolescence, and returned to China to enter the Chinese entertainment industry as an adult. The appearance is very high, and he has also made certain achievements in singing and acting, and he is currently a popular little fresh meat, and his popularity is very high. Because he also went to the United States last year to participate in a celebrity exhibition game with retired American professional basketball players, his fans and some media called him "the best basketball star in the entertainment industry".

In this kind of mixed professional and non-professional competition, professional players generally do not play at their best, and will leave more opportunities for performance to non-professional acting stars. Therefore, after all the players were revealed, Zhuo Zhiyuan's title of "the best basketball star in the entertainment industry" was also mentioned by the media again, and some media also ridiculed that his red team was three semi-professional players playing three professional players on the blue team, and the red team would win the final victory, and Zhuo Zhiyuan was the most powerful contender for the MVP of that game.

Basketball is a team event, and even if it is an exhibition game, teammates are indispensable to cooperate with each other. Although this charity match is an exhibition match, it is very formal. Since both teams have coaches and coaches will also devise some tactics, the organizers of the tournament gathered these players two days before the start of the game and arranged two training sessions for them. On the one hand, it is to allow the coach and the players to get acquainted with each other and cultivate tacit understanding so that they can better cooperate during the game, and on the other hand, it is also to leave some space for the coach to play, so that they can guide their players to practice some tactics.

In order to keep the tactics of the two coaches a secret, the training of the two teams is separated. At the same time, they were arranged to train in two different basketball halls, instead of staggering the training time in the same arena. In this respect, the game still looks very formal.

Xiao Yao arrived at the basketball hall about half an hour earlier than the notified time, went to the locker room to change his jersey and shoes, and then went to the court, planning to practice in advance.

The organisers of the tournament had arrived early and set up cameras on the sidelines, apparently to film some of the star players training behind the scenes. But it's still early at this time, most of the star players haven't arrived yet, even the coaches haven't arrived yet, the film crew hasn't started working yet, and the cameras haven't been turned on yet.

But there wasn't no one on the pitch at this time. When Xiao Yao walked into the court, he found that there was already a big tall man wearing a training vest doing shooting exercises.

"Brother Qi, are you here so early?" Xiao Yao found out that the person was an old acquaintance Guo Qi, so he raised his hand and greeted with a smile.

"You're pretty early, too!" Guo Qi looked back to see that it was Xiao Yao, and responded with a smile, casually threw the basketball in his hand to Xiao Yao, and walked over.

"Have you seen the latest news?" Walking in front of Xiao Yao, Guo Qi deliberately smiled provocatively, "The media say that Zhuo Zhiyuan is the best basketball star in the entertainment industry, and he is most likely to win the MVP of this competition, do you have any ideas?"

"I don't have any ideas," Xiao Yao shrugged and smiled, "Should I have any ideas?"

"Of course, it's to beat him up in the game, win the game, and win the MVP!" Guo Qi hugged Xiao Yao's shoulders and said, "We have already discussed, all of our six professional players are playing leisurely, leaving the opportunity to perform to you entertainment stars, and the MVP will not fight." I'm a professional player, and I'm embarrassed to be a bully to focus on him as an amateur player. But you're different, you're also an amateur, and if you talk to him, it's reasonable in all aspects, and the audience must love it. If you have this idea, I can give you more pass assists and help you from the side!"

"I'm not interested," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "This kind of "star who plays the best basketball in the entertainment industry" is just a personality design, image packaging and publicity strategy made for him by a brokerage company or public relations team, and people are indeed playing very well, I don't want to play-for-tat with others for this kind of vain title." ”

"Actually, I'd like to play against you. Xiao Yao continued, "I took advantage of you three years ago, and Qiao Xun won against your youth team last year, but that game was not over." It's been another year, and I'm curious to see if I can beat you right now with dignity. It's a pity that you and I were on a team this time, so we didn't have that chance. ”

"Why don't we have a one-on-one bullfight?" Speaking of this, Xiao Yao proposed to Guo Qi, "There is no one else now, even if someone comes behind, our bullfight only occupies half of the field, and there is still half of the open space, which should not affect the others." There was still half an hour before the start of training, which was enough for us to play. ”

"Don't come!" Guo Qi immediately jumped away and shook his head like a rattle, "Someone should come before we finish the fight in a while, I am a professional, you are an amateur, I should win it, and if I lose, I will lose a big shame." I guess you might have that idea, that's why I specifically asked to be on the same team as you, just to avoid playing against you on the field during the game, and how can I be one-on-one with you in front of other stars now? ”
