Chapter 721: Thank you
"Young, look over here!" the two American TV commentators pointed to a camera lens on the side, reminding Xiao Yaodao.
Now that the game is in progress, the main camera in the stadium is filming the game in progress, and on the side of the commentary box, another camera is filming from the side.
Xiao Yao quickly glanced at the screen playing the broadcast screen placed on the commentary seat in front of him, and found that the scene on the field in the broadcast screen only occupied about three-quarters of the entire picture, and the lower part of the other quarter screen showed the current players on the field of the two teams, and the upper part opened another window, which was the picture of himself and the two commentators on the commentary seat, but the shooting angle was obviously in front of his side, so he turned sideways with the two commentators and looked at the camera lens shooting here.
"Now, we've got one of last year's Masters MVPs, this year's halftime guest performer "Immortals," and the star guest who threw a three-pointer in the audience in the second quarter, Jan Shaw!" said a bald black commentator named Mike Comer in the two commentators.
"Young, say hello to the audience!" another white narrator named Colin Flair said to Xiao Yao.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yang, Xiao!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved at the camera lens.
"You're coming to the Masters for the second time. Last time I came to be a team member, this time I came to be a spectator, what is the difference?" Mike Comer asked Xiao Yao.
"It's all great!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I love basketball and I like the feeling of playing on the court, but it's not bad to be a spectator." Especially when you score a goal in the stand, the crowd cheers louder than if you scored a goal on the pitch!"
"Haha~" The two commentators were amused by Xiao Yao's words.
The two commentators had not had private contact with Xiao Yao before, and most of their previous impressions of the Chinese people were more reserved and introverted. Although Xiao Yao's shooting in the audience and his halftime performance were very lively, the two commentators were inevitably a little worried when it came to face-to-face conversations, especially when they had to face the camera lens and speak in front of the world's audience.
However, judging from Xiao Yao's opening words, the two commentators felt that Xiao Yao not only did not have the slightest nervousness, but his sense of humor seemed to be no worse than that of American stars, and they couldn't help but relax in their hearts.
As soon as the two commentators relaxed, the process of the conversation became relaxed.
Xiao Yao was not really invited to be a live commentator, but a guest commentator with an interview nature. The official commentators invited more than one commentator for this game, so there was a time limit for this link, and it was impossible for Xiao Yao to spend the entire second half in the commentary seat.
"Okay, thank you, Jan, and have a great night. A few minutes later, while Xiao Yao finished talking about a topic, Colin Flair said to Xiao Yao with some unfinished thoughts.
Xiao Yao is fluent in English, familiar with basketball and the United States, responds quickly, is eloquent, and there is no lack of humor in the language, not only can he communicate with the two commentators very smoothly, there is no cold scene at all, but also make the two laugh from time to time, and the two guests have forgotten the time. Or the live director reminded the two in the headset that Xiao Yao's time in the commentary seat had run out, and the two commentators remembered this stubble and had to say goodbye to Xiao Yao.
"Thank you," Xiao Yao smiled and bowed his head to the two commentators, "I have never sat in the live commentary seat next to the playing field, this is a very good experience!"
"We feel great, too!" laughs Mike Comer, "It was a pleasure to talk to you, and I think a lot of the audience in front of the TV will like you even more through those few minutes!"
"Thank you! I wish you all a nice tonight!" Xiao Yao sat down in his seat again, bent slightly to the two, and after shaking hands with the two respectively, he took off his headphones and stood up, preparing to return to his seat in the audience.
In basketball, the commentary bench, technical desk, and bench are all next to the court. In professional matches, the commentary seats and technical tables are usually connected to each other, but in today's Masters, the two are separated.
In addition to the official television stations in the United States, other foreign organizations such as Huaxia's Haiyan Video, which have purchased the broadcast rights, also set up commentary seats on the spot. Commentators from several countries were crammed together, and the length of the technical desk was not enough. On both sides of the technical table are the benches of the two teams, and there is no extra space, so today's commentary bench is set near the center line on the other side of the court, and the length is about the same as the technical table, opposite the technical table across the court.
Xiao Yao's seat was behind the Eastern Celebrity bench, and whether the game was suspended or not, he could not and could cross the entire court. When he came, Xiao Yao walked around half of the court, and when he went back, he also had to go around half of the court and walk back from outside the court.
The sideline on one side of the pitch was occupied by the technical table and the benches of both teams, and the commentary bench on the other side did not occupy the entire sideline. Because guests are invited to the commentary seats, the commentary seats of the official broadcast television station in the United States are located at the outermost part of the entire commentary seats, next to the audience seats on the side of the field.
Because Xiao Yao kept laughing when chatting with the two commentators, a little girl in the audience next to them looked at Xiao Yao and them curiously several times. After seeing Xiao Yao get up, the little girl looked at Xiao Yao again.
When he was in the commentary seat just now, his body was facing the other side, Xiao Yao didn't notice that the little girl next to him had looked at her several times, but after getting up, Xiao Yao just turned to the little girl's side, and immediately noticed the little girl's curious gaze.
Seats in the spectator seats on the sidelines are very rare, and the people who can sit in the spectators on the sidelines and watch the game up close are basically celebrities. Xiao Yao knew the little girl, and he also knew the middle-aged white man who held the little girl on his lap.
The middle-aged man was a world-renowned soccer star named Grant Freddy, an Englishman who played for Major League Soccer teams in the United States at the end of his career, and then retired to Hollywood. And the cute little white girl who was held by him on his lap and looked at Xiao Yao with a curious look on his face was the daughter of Grant Freddy, who was also very famous.
To put it simply, Grant Freddy is almost the equivalent of the "David Beckham" of this world. Not only is his experience and fame similar to Beckham in his previous life, but also like Beckham in his previous life, the middle name he gave his daughter is the jersey number he most often carries in his career, but Grant Freddy plays as a striker, and the number he wears most often is not seven but nine. This little girl, who is also loved all over the world, is not called "Little Seven", but is affectionately called "Little Nine" by fans and Freddy's fans.
Xiao Yao has not had any contact with Grant Freddy's family in private before, although he is also a football fan, but he is not a fan of Freddy, and even if he is, he will not chase stars on this occasion. Xiao Yao didn't take the initiative to have any contact with Freddy before the game, and he wouldn't take the initiative to greet Freddy's father and daughter at this time.
But the little girl is indeed very beautiful, and her curious appearance is also very cute. Xiao Yao looked at the little girl looking at him curiously, but he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and make a grimace at the little girl.
Faced with the sudden grimace, the little girl immediately gave him a grimace back, and then immediately fell back into her father's arms.
Xiao Yao resisted the urge to reach out and touch the little girl's head, and turned around with a smile and walked towards the back of the first row of seats.
The location of the spectator seats on the sidelines of the stadium is relatively close to the sideline, so there is not much space, and it is not polite to walk in front of the spectators who are watching the game to affect people's sight. The second row of audience seats is one step higher than the audience seats on the sidelines, and the impact is relatively small, so when going back and forth, Xiao Yao passes behind the first row of audience seats on the sidelines.
"Ah~" Xiao Yao had just walked behind Grant Freddy, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure smashing in his direction, and he heard the exclamations of several people in his ears.
It turned out that just as Xiao Yao finished teasing the little girl and walked behind Freddy, there was an accident on the court.
After grabbing a rebound, the Western Celebrity interior player threw the basketball directly to a player on his side at a 45-degree angle on the right outside the three-point line. Unfortunately, there was a mistake in this pass, and the receiver only touched the basketball and did not catch it, and the basketball flew outside the sideline after being touched. Because of being touched, the speed of the ball slowed down, and the receiver of the Western Celebrity Team quickly turned around and saw that the basketball had not yet landed, and felt that there was hope to save the ball, so he immediately jumped outside the sideline to save the ball.
Although the Western Celebrity team player who struggled to save the ball reached for the basketball in the air and twisted his waist to throw the basketball back into the court, he himself could no longer make any adjustments in the air and smashed into the audience on the sidelines. The direction he smashed it was exactly where Grant Freddy was sitting.
Because his daughter suddenly fell back into his arms, Grant Freddy was looking down and whispering to his daughter, and did not see the scene of the player on the field saving the ball. When he heard the exclamation and looked up, and saw a strong man smashing towards him, he had no time to hold his daughter to dodge to the side, so he could only subconsciously hold his daughter tightly in his arms, stretched out his arm to protect his daughter's head, and at the same time leaned back as much as his whole body as much as possible.
The Western Conference Celebrity player who smashed Grant Freddy is Andy Bright and is a retired former professional basketball player. He used to play as a swingman and weighed more than 100 kilograms. Being smashed or bumped by such a person is undoubtedly very terrifying. Although Grant Freddy is a former footballer and is unlikely to be anything if he is smashed, the point is that he still has his six-year-old daughter in his arms. Bright smashed down like this, and Freddy's daughter was sandwiched between two adults, and it was almost impossible not to be smashed.
On one side of Freddy was the aisle between the audience and the commentary seat, and on the other side was a female spectator, so frightened that she subconsciously shrank her body and flashed to the other side, it seemed that no one could stop this accident from happening, and some of the audience next to Freddy also screamed in fright.
Seeing that Andy Bright was about to smash into Freddy's father and daughter, Freddy suddenly stretched out a pair of hands behind him and pressed them on Andy Bright's shoulders, who fell from the air and were already close to Freddy's father and daughter. Then, the hands flicked up and down, and Andy Bright, who was in the air, spun around in the air and landed in the open space in the aisle between the commentary seat and the audience next to Freddy.
"Bang!" the 100-kilogram tall man fell directly to the ground, and the momentum was also very scary, and some of the spectators next to him seemed to feel that the floor was shaking.
"Ah~" After a short silence at the scene, exclamations and screams rang out one after another.
A pair of hands that suddenly appeared behind Freddy were naturally from Xiao Yao. When he saw Andy Bright throwing at Freddy's father and daughter, he didn't have time to bypass or jump directly over Freddy's father and daughter, and go in front of them to help them block Andy Bright, so he could only stretch out his hands directly from behind Freddy to block. A hundred kilograms of people smashed down, this kinetic energy is very large, Xiao Yao can't push him back with just his hands, so he used some of the power skills when he was martial arts with Liu Zhongwen, his left hand down, his right hand up, both hands circled, and with skillful strength, Bright fell to the open space next to him.
Although he successfully avoided Freddy's father and daughter from being harmed, Xiao Yao was not proud in his heart at the moment, but walked to the side to care about Andy Bright who fell. At that moment just now, Andy Bright was completely lost by himself, but there was no protective action, and he really fell down so hard.
Xiao Yao bent down and stretched out his hand to Andy Bright, and asked with a concerned face, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Andy Bright shook his head, reached out to hold Xiao Yao's outstretched hand, and was pulled up by Xiao Yao.
"I'm sorry, in order to prevent you from hitting the little girl, I can only do this just now!" Xiao Yao said apologetically.
"No," Andy Bright shook his head again and again when he saw Xiao Yao's move, "If I hit this little girl, I will feel very, very guilty." I'd rather fall like this myself than hit the little girl!So, I want to thank you!" As he spoke, Andy Bright smiled and took the initiative to hug Xiao Yao.
"Thank you!" Freddy, who was a little frightened, stood up with his daughter in his arms and said to Xiao Yao with a grateful face.
Freddy didn't close his eyes when he was holding his daughter just now, but he saw a pair of hands suddenly stretched out behind him and threw the smashed Bright to the side, saving himself and his daughter. Although he didn't see what the owner of the hands looked like, from the footsteps from behind him to the side and the style and color of Xiao Yao's sleeves, he still judged that the person who rescued their father and daughter was Xiao Yao.
"It's okay!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, looked at "Xiao Jiu" and said, "Such a cute little angel, no one wants to see her get hurt!"
"Hallie, he saved you, what should you do?" Freddy said, looking at the daughter in her arms.
"Thank you!" said the little girl.
"My pleasure!" Xiao Yao said to the little girl with a smile.
