At half past seven o'clock in the evening of October 4th, this much-watched star charity match officially kicked off.

The players in this star charity game are all stars, although there is a red carpet ceremony like the Penguin Celebrity Game in the previous life, but it also has a process for introducing the players like the All-Star Game.

Accompanied by dazzling lights and energetic music, the star players took turns to run out of the players' tunnel under the introduction of the live host. Every player appeared, and the audience at the scene would hear a loud voice shouting the names of the players, and the players all waved to the audience with smiles on their faces, and stood on the court amid the cheers of the audience.

Of all the players, two basketball superstars from the United States were the most watched and received the most cheers. The second is that it attracted a lot of attention before the game, and was predicted to be the MVP of the game, and the popularity of Zhuo Zhiyuan is very high. There were obviously a lot of his fans at the scene, and when he appeared, a neat and loud cheering slogan sounded at the scene, and more than a dozen of his name cheering lights were held high by the fans, connecting them in the audience, and also attracted the attention of the cameras on the scene, and specially gave the cheering lights a shot.

When Xiao Yao appeared, the cheers of the audience were not small, but compared with Zhuo Zhiyuan, the momentum was much worse. There is no sign of support, and even the shouting is relatively chaotic, and it is disorganized and undisciplined when you hear it.

After all the star players were on the stage, the presenter with the microphone also walked up to the players standing in a row and interviewed several star players.

The host first found two American basketball superstars. Both of them came to Huaxia for the first time, and the host asked very regular questions about feelings. The two of them briefly talked about their feelings about coming to Huaxia and their impressions of Huaxia, basically all of them were picked up in good terms, one praised Huaxia's culture, the other praised Huaxia's food, and finally thanked the fans for their enthusiasm. Although the answers of the two were polite and official, their attitudes were very friendly, which also caused another huge cheer from the audience.

The third interview with the host is Zhuo Zhiyuan. Zhuo Zhiyuan has always developed in Huaxia, so naturally he can't talk about his feelings and impressions of Huaxia, so the host asked him about his preparations for this game, and asked him to predict how many points he can get in this game. Even standing next to the three professional players, Zhuo Zhiyuan replied to the host very domineeringly: "It's hard to say how many points you get, but I'm here tonight for the MVP of this competition!"

"At this time, he still took the initiative to say this, do you still think this is the image packaging and publicity strategy made for him by his agency or public relations team?" Hearing Zhuo Zhiyuan's domineering declaration, Guo Qi touched Xiao Yao beside him with his elbow and laughed quietly.

"People come back from the United States, which is the best in basketball, and it's normal to have self-confidence and a more flamboyant personality. Xiao Yao replied in a low voice, "Who doesn't want to win the MVP? ”

"Then if you are interviewed, do you dare to say this in public?" Guo Qi asked with a smile again.

"What's not to dare to do?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"I'm very confident!" The host praised Zhuo Zhiyuan with a smile, and then noticed that Xiao Yao and Guo Qi were whispering, so he walked over and asked Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, you and Guo Qi seem to have a good relationship, they are all whispering, can you reveal what you are talking about?"

A total of four players will be interviewed before the game, one professional player and one star player for each team, and the specific personnel are not specified, and the host himself will grasp it. The host must be looking for a popular interview, among the professional players, the popularity of the two American stars is higher, in terms of acting stars, the popularity of the red team Zhuo Zhiyuan is obviously beyond the others, and Xiao Yao of the blue team Although the popularity of the scene is not as high as Zhuo Zhiyuan, his popularity is not low compared to other acting stars, and he himself is a very topical figure, and he is also an excellent interview subject.

The moderator was interviewed by one member of each team in turn. After interviewing Zhuo Zhiyuan, the host should have followed up with an interview with a member of the blue team, and when he saw Xiao Yao and Guo Qi talking, the host took the opportunity to hand the microphone to Xiao Yao.

"We're discussing tactics!" Xiao Yao replied with a serious face.

"Ah, discuss tactics, now, you two?" the host was a little confused.

"Okay, that's nonsense, the tactical arrangement is the responsibility of our head coach Wei Gui," Xiao Yao couldn't help but smile generally, "Actually, I was asking Brother Qi to pass me more for a while." ”

"Haha~" Xiao Yao's answer immediately made the scene burst into laughter.

"Now we are buying our professional players," the host also smiled, and then asked, "You let him pass you more, that is, you want to have more opportunities to perform, so that you can score more points, do you also have ideas about the MVP of this game?"

"Nope. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm the youngest of all the players, so many brothers, sisters and uncles on the scene..."

"Hmm~" Standing beside Xiao Yao, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yao and glared at Xiao Yao with an "um".

Seeing Zhang Yi glaring at him, Xiao Yao hurriedly changed his words, "No, there is no uncle, so many brothers and sisters and seniors are present, everyone's ball is playing very well, I am playing today with the mentality of learning, I am satisfied if I can play happily and play well, I don't have the idea of playing MVP." ”

Zhang Yi is nearly 50 years old, making him the oldest of the players. He's the only player in his 40s or older, a cut over a decade older than anyone else, even with two retired American basketball stars. But he has always been a tough guy on the screen and on the screen, he maintains a good figure and physical condition, and he is not old in character, and he has long warned others not to call him uncle during training.

Seeing Xiao Yao change his words obediently under Zhang Yi's gaze, the audience at the scene burst into laughter again.

"Pretend!" only Guo Qi rolled his eyes with disdain and said in his heart.

"Very clever and humble young man," the host also laughed for a while, and then turned to Guo Qi beside him, "I noticed just now that Guo Qi's expression is very interesting, do you have any different opinions?"

"No," Guo Qi shook his head, "Xiao Yao is more modest, in fact, he plays the ball well." ”

"Oh, have you ever played with him?" said the host, "I don't have the impression that I have seen Xiao Yao play much." ”

"Well, I've been beaten!" Guo Qi gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Actually, I don't play much. Xiao Yao took the initiative to take over and said, "That is, I fought with my classmates in school, I haven't played on TV shows, and it's normal if you haven't seen it." ”

"Oh?" Guo Qi was not the host's scheduled interview subject, but just interjected these two sentences, hearing Xiao Yao's words, the host also took the opportunity to put his focus back on Xiao Yao, "Have you played in school and entered the school team? ”

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm just playing around, and I've never been to the school team." ”

After Xiao Yao participated in the basketball game in the school when he was in high school, the school basketball team had the idea of recruiting him into the basketball team, but it didn't take long for Xiao Yao to decide to go to the United States as an international exchange student. There is no national high school basketball league in Huaxia, and Xiao Yao's Yanjing No. 2 Middle School is a school known for its admission rate, and basketball has neither tradition nor too much attention, so in the end, Xiao Yao was not recruited into the basketball team.

There is a national college basketball league in Huaxia, but Shenju is a film and television school and an art school, and it doesn't care much about basketball, and it won't and can't recruit basketball students. Xiao Yao enrolled as a famous star, and he took a lot of leave during his freshman year, so it is rare to be able to guarantee the time for class, and where is there time to participate in the training of the school team, naturally he has no chance with the basketball team.

"Oh," the host nodded, "just because I haven't been on the varsity team doesn't mean I'm not good at basketball." If you are invited to participate in the game, it means that you are playing basketball well. We look forward to seeing what you do as well. ”

Speaking of which, the host looked at Miao Cheng of the blue team next to him with some weakness, and said in his heart: "At least in terms of figure, it should be stronger than Miao Cheng and Cai Yue." ”

This time, all the players can play basketball, but if you want to play well, you have to add a basic in front of it. Because this time, one of the red and blue teams each did not play well. Miao Cheng of the blue team and Cai Yue of the red team are both comedians, only about 1.734 meters tall, and they are fat. It's not that a fat person who is not too tall will not be able to play basketball, but judging from the image and skills shown in the stage performances and film and television works of the two, they don't look like basketball players.

After a short interview, the players warmed up before the game. The host left the court, the staff gave some basketballs, and the two teams also occupied half of the court and warmed up before the game.

The pre-match warm-up was relatively casual, the manager did not prescribe movements, and the players were free to play. As a result, this pre-match warm-up time also became the first performance time for the players. In addition to the more ordinary practice shooting to find a feel, some players also did fancy dribbling and fancy layups, which also caused bursts of cheers from the audience.

Xiao Yao moved his body, and after moving all the muscles, bones and joints of his body, he picked up a basketball on the sidelines, walked to the free throw line, and started the free throw basket practice in a proper manner. And after the warm-up time began, Xiao Yao would shoot twice by the way when he ran to the basket to pick up the basketball and walked to the free throw line, and dribbled the ball very routinely, he didn't do anything else, he only practiced free throws.

"Hey, do you want to be so low-key and practice free throws?" Guo Qi leaned over again.

"Then what are you practicing?" Xiao Yao looked at Guo Qi and said, "You don't want to play the air relay dunk right now, do you?"

"Of course, we won't reveal our secret weapon now," Guo Qi said, "Even if you want to save effort and don't want to dunk, you can also play with crotch dribbling, emergency stop jump shots, change hands and layups and other fancy work for the audience to see." ”

"There's no need," Xiao Yao shook his head, "I'm going to practice twenty free throws first, and then practice shooting and ordinary layups." When I'm playing tricks and waiting for the game, I'm warming up honestly now. After speaking, Xiao Yao practiced free throws in a proper manner.

Fifteen minutes later, the pre-match warm-up was over, and all the players returned to the bench and sat down. The staff quickly cleaned up the warm-up basketballs and set up musical instruments, sound equipment and microphone stands in the center of the court to prepare for the pre-game performance.

Although this star charity competition is also organized for the reconstruction of the earthquake-stricken area, more than a month has passed since the earthquake occurred, and it is a festive day during the National Day, and the general environment is no longer so sad and depressing, so this star charity competition is also more lively and more entertaining. In addition to the lively appearance ceremony, cheerleading performances were also arranged during the long pause and intermission of the game, and a pre-game performance was specially arranged before the start of the game, and star singers were invited to sing live.

According to Chen Yang's meaning, he originally wanted Xiao Yao to be the guest of this opening performance. After the opening performance, change clothes and then go on the court to play, which is feasible in terms of time, and Xiao Yao's physical strength is enough to deal with it, but some of the players of the acting stars on both sides are developing simultaneously in film and television and the music industry, and there are several who can perform and sing live.

Chen Yang, who had already collected four or five songs from Xiao Yao, was not reluctant, and because the reason given by Xiao Yao was that he wanted to concentrate on playing and didn't want to be distracted, they didn't invite other star players to be guests for the opening performance, but invited another popular singer to perform the opening performance.

The singer who was invited to do the opening performance is named Lin Jin, and he is a very talented male singer-songwriter. He is also one of the male singers who have become popular the fastest in recent years, and he also participated in the program "Singer" last year, although he is not as bewitching as Xiao Yao this year, his performance is also very good. Seeing the small-eyed male singer with the band appear in the center of the stadium as the opening performer of the competition, the audience also broke out into a burst of warm applause.

may be influenced by Xiao Yao's performance of original new songs every time he appears in public, and Lin Jin, who is also a singer-songwriter, is also performing an original new song that he has not yet released. The song is very good, and the response from the audience is also very good. During the performance, the applause of the audience basically did not stop, and when the rock song reached the climax of the chorus, some audience members who listened to the excitement stood up from their seats and cheered loudly.

"I heard Brother Yang say that he originally wanted to find you as the guest of honor for the opening performance, but now looking at him, do you regret it?" Guo Qi, who was sitting on the bench chair, pointed to Lin Jin, who was cheering from the audience, and asked Xiao Yao with a smile.

"What's there to regret?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "If I'm a guest performer, I'll have to go back to the locker room to change my clothes after the performance." Then I can only be a substitute in this game, and I will definitely not be a starter. I'd rather play first as a starter. Before the opening, Wei Zhiping announced today's five starters, and Xiao Yao was one of them.

After Lin Jin's song performance ended, the staff quickly came up and removed the sound equipment and musical instruments to clear the venue. The lights were on, the three referees walked onto the pitch and took their positions, and the five starters of the red and blue teams also got up from their bench chairs and walked onto the pitch with the cheers and encouragement of the substitutes.

This star charity basketball game has officially begun.
