Chapter 598: Another Special Way to Make Free Throws

After the timeout, the Western Celebrities replaced amateur Quincy Beasley with former professional Camon Blunt. The Western Celebrity Team's substitution adjustment was originally intended to use Camon Blunt against former professional player Joey Bilsa in the East, but the Eastern Celebrity Team took advantage of this suspension to replace Joey Bilsa and replaced actor Jason Danful.

After the timeout, there was definitely no chance of a fast break. After the Western Celebrities sent the baseline, Robert Foden slowly brought the ball to the front court, and the players on the court took their places. The Eastern Celebrity Team still has Xiao Yao standing at the top of the arc to defend the opponent's point guard, and the other three have not changed their defensive objects, and the new Jason Danfur stands in the 45th corner on the left side of the outside line to defend Carmon Blunt who does not go inside.

In this way, Camon Blunt on the court has become the biggest advantage of the Western Celebrity Team. Robert Foden arrived at the top of the arc and raised his hand to give the basketball to Carmon Blunt.

Camon Blunt is more than two meters tall, and when he is a professional player, he can play the second, third, and fourth positions, and can shoot and shoot on the inside, but in this exhibition match with mixed amateur players, he has no intention of breaking through and playing on the inside.

After receiving the ball, Carmon Blunt did not mean to pass the ball, nor did he directly face Jason Danfur for a jumper, but made a gesture to Robert Foden.

Robert Foden understood and immediately ran to Jason Danfol's side to set up a one-way cover for Carmon Blunt. Carmon Blunt dribbled to Robert Foden's side, and Xiao Yao, who was following Robert Foden, immediately stopped and turned to follow Carmon Blunt.

Robert Foden took cover and immediately ran off the other side. Jason Danfort was afraid that the two would block and dismantle, and saw Xiao Yao go to guard Carmon Blunt, so he made a change of defense with Xiao Yao and chased Robert Foden.

After Camon Blunt moved to the top of the arc, he stopped, turned to face the basket, and at the same time lowered his center of gravity slightly, and looked at Xiao Yao who was defending him in front of him with a serious expression.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao was a little puzzled by Carmon Blunt.

As soon as Carmon Blunt's shoulder moved, Xiao Yao immediately jumped up with his arm raised. There is no way, the difference in height between the two is nearly 20 centimeters, and if Xiao Yao doesn't jump, he can't effectively interfere with Carmon Blunt's shot. As a result, Camon Blunt was just a feint, and he didn't jump at all.

After shaking Xiao Yao to jump, Carmon Blunt did not take the opportunity to break through, but waited for Xiao Yao to fall before jumping up with a basketball in his hand, and he still jumped forward this time, as if he intended to collide with Xiao Yao in the air.

Xiao Yao immediately understood what the other party wanted to do, shouted in his heart, and quickly raised his raised arm back, and at the same time exerted his waist and abdomen, stopped the momentum of leaning forward, and also turned sideways slightly.

Camon Blunt did want to cheat Xiao Yao into a foul, but he wanted to throw this three-point shot and add a free throw, not three free throws, so he didn't want the two to collide solidly, but just wanted Xiao Yao to rub himself. As a result, Xiao Yao's raised hand in the air turned sideways, just avoiding the contact between the two.

Although Camon Blunt didn't cheat Xiao Yao's foul, he still hit the three-point shot.

"Blunt hits a three-point shot!" Li Jundao on the commentary seat.

"Blunt also wanted to trick Xiao Yao into fouling this ball and wanted to score four points. Fortunately, Xiao Yao's reaction was quick and did not let Blunt succeed. Zhang Yuan smiled, "I didn't expect an exhibition match, and Blunt actually took out a unique skill." ”

Before Camon Blunt retired, one of his signature plays, it was one of his signature plays, and this time it naturally couldn't escape the eyes of professional basketball commentators.

"Is the Western Celebrity Team trying to get Xiao Yao down?" Li Jun also said with a smile, "Although the Celebrity Game is five fouls and then leaves, one less than the American professional basketball team, but the problem is that Xiao Yao didn't have a single foul in the first half, and it may be difficult to get Xiao Yao to leave the court with five fouls." ”

"The Masters game is an exhibition game, and the referee's blowing penalty scale is generally relatively loose, and no one in history seems to have been punished for five fouls!" Zhang Yuan also continued, "This tactic of the Western Celebrity Team is a bit whimsical. ”

When Xiao Yao dribbled to the top of the arc of the opponent's half, he found that all four teammates were watched closely, so he started to accelerate and directly hit Robel Foden. Robert Foden's reaction and pace were not slow, and he immediately followed Xiao Yao with his arms outstretched.

In the process of breaking through, Xiao Yao's eyes were also glancing left and right. Finding that no one else was coming to help except Robert Foden, he made a pull-up jump shot from outside the three-second zone.

Offense is active, defense is passive. As a passive defender, he is relatively at a slight disadvantage, not to mention that Xiao Yao has broken through before either passing or making a layup or dunking, and he has never shot in the middle and long distance. Robert Foden didn't expect Xiao Yao to come to an emergency stop, and he couldn't close the momentum in the process of retreating, and was suddenly thrown away by Xiao Yao more than a step away. Although he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and raised his arms to jump, it did not interfere much with Xiao Yao's shot.

Without much interference, Xiao Yao's mid-shot hit steadily.

"Xiao Yao broke through and hit in the emergency stop!" Li Jun on the commentary seat said with a smile.

"This goal, it can be said that Xiao Yao succeeded in beating Foden alone!" Zhang Yuan also said with a smile, "I don't know if Foden will return Xiao Yao when he turns around." ”

After the switch between attack and defense, Robert Foden really made a direct hard breakthrough. However, Xiao Yao has been forced by Robert Foden once before, and this time he has some experience. As soon as Robert Foden's shoulders moved, Xiao Yao immediately adjusted his center of gravity and prepared to retreat. When Robert Foden started at an accelerated pace, Xiao Yao immediately started to retreat and keep up with Robert Foden.

Robert Foden's vision of the basket was hard from the right and immediately moved a step to the left, which not only opened up space for Robert Foden, but also created a passing route for Robert Foden's breakthrough ball.

However, Robert Foden did not hit the basket directly against Xiao Yao, nor did he pass the ball, but like Xiao Yao's previous ball, he made a pull-up jump shot when he rushed to the sideline of the three-second zone.

Xiao Yao was also shaken by Robert Foden's sudden stop, but his reaction was very fast, and he immediately stepped forward quickly, raised his arms and jumped up. Xiao Yao is about the same height as Robert Foden, but because he is more than a decade younger, he is much better than Robert Foden in terms of jumping. When Robert Foden made a stop-and-go jumper, Xiao Yao's hand was also sealed in front of him.

Under Xiao Yao's interference, Robert Foden's shot missed this time, and the basketball bounced out after smashing it on the basket.

Zhuo Zhiyuan and Ben Schull under the basket jumped up at the same time to grab the rebound. Ben Scour, who was a bit stronger, was the first to touch the basketball, but couldn't control it. Before he grabbed the basketball in his hand, Zhuo Zhiyuan, who also jumped up but was in a slightly worse position, reached out and hit the basketball on the basketball, knocking the basketball out of his hand.

When the basketball hit the hoop, Xiao Yao and Robert Foden were already on the ground. Seeing that the basketball was hit by Zhuo Zhiyuan to the bottom line on the right side, Xiao Yao and Robert Foden started to rush towards the landing point of the basketball at the same time.

Xiao Yao jumped up first and grabbed the basketball in the air, but judging from Xiao Yao's momentum, he would definitely step on the bottom line when he landed. Xiao Yao, who was in the air, also knew this, so he didn't wait for the landing, he hugged the basketball with both hands and threw it behind him.

Xiao Yao threw with both hands, the strength was not small, and the arc was also high, and the basketball crossed the half court of the Eastern Celebrity Team and flew straight to the opposite half.

As the basketball flew towards the half court of the Western Celebrity Team, a figure in a blue team uniform rushed first, and a figure in a gold team uniform followed almost two or three paces behind.

"It's Rita again!" shouted Li Jun in the commentary seat.

"She's really the most active one in the east!" Zhang Yuan sighed with a smile.

It turned out that when Robert Foden took a shot, Rita Mitchell immediately turned around and was ready to charge for the opposing half. As soon as she moved, Bill Justin, who was defending her next to her, immediately turned around and prepared to run back with her.

When the basketball smashed on the basket and bounced out, Zhuo Zhiyuan and Ben Scour did not grab the rebound, Bill Justin was attracted by the competition for the ownership of the basketball and wanted to see who grabbed the ball in the end, and Rita Mitchell saw that it was Xiao Yao and Robert Foden to grab the "second landing point", and immediately turned around and rushed to the opposite half. So by the time the basketball flew to the Western Conference Celebrity halfcourt, Rita Mitchell had already thrown Bill Justin two or three steps away.

Xiao Yao threw the ball with his back to the opponent's basket, and although the basketball flew to the half court of the Western Celebrities, it did not fall directly in front of Rita Mitchell, who had to adjust the direction, ran a small diagonal line to catch the ball, and then turned to the opponent's basket. In this way, it gave Bill Justin a chance to chase after him.

After Rita Mitchell rushed into the three-second zone under the basket with the ball, she did not start to make a layup with the ball, but stopped under the basket and made a shooting pose, chasing Bill Justin behind him, and immediately jumped up with her arms raised.

However, Rita Mitchell didn't make a direct move, and put down the arm that was holding up the basketball. After Bill Justin, who was chasing after him, flew in front of him, Rita Mitchell lifted the basketball again and hit the board under the basket to shoot.

"O~" Rita Mitchell won the applause and cheers of many audiences this time.

"When the fast attack feints, shake off the chasing soldiers behind and shoot again, the goddess is so calm!" Li Jun on the commentary seat praised with a smile.

"Mitchell is really good at playing!" Zhang Yuan also praised, "Every fast break is very active, not to mention, but also knows his strengths and weaknesses very well." In the first half, there was a fast break that was blocked by Haywood from behind, and this time the strategy was reversed. ”

After coming back with this goal, the Western Celebrity Team finally didn't hit Xiao Yao anymore. Robert Foden passed the ball to Bill Justin, who took a step forward and shook off Rita Mitchell's defence. Seeing Ben Scour take a step out, as if he wanted to come out to make up for the defense, Bill Justin didn't rush to the basket and shot directly from a step inside the three-point line.

Bill Justin's long-range shot missed, but this time Zhuo Zhiyuan under the basket took advantage of Ben Skull's move to the outside line, seized a more advantageous position under the basket, and jumped up to win the rebound.

After winning this rebound, Zhuo Zhiyuan shot directly under the basket, but under the interference of Ben Scuul, who turned back to defend, Zhuo Zhiyuan's shot under the basket did not hit, and the basketball smashed on the basket and bounced out again.

This time, Zhuo Zhiyuan gave full play to the advantage of bounce speed, jumped up quickly again and won the rebound, but when he fell, he was squeezed by Ben Squill who moved to the inside, resulting in an unstable center of gravity when he landed, and the whole person almost fell, and the basketball in his hand also lost control and fell to the ground.

Jason Danfol, who moved to the inside, immediately leaned over to grab the ball, Zhuo Zhiyuan quickly grabbed the basketball in his hand, but at this time he was about to fall, and he was destined to be unable to control the basketball, so he threw the basketball to Scott Carr in front of him before he fell.

At this moment, Will Foster suddenly came out from behind Scott Carr and reached out to break the basketball. Will Foster, who had successfully broken the ball, dribbled straight into the opposition half. Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell immediately followed, taking over Will Foster's fast attack.

Will Foster went straight in the middle, Rita Mitchell on the left, and Xiao Yao on the right, forming a trend of fast attack in the third line. On the Eastern Celebrity side, Robert Foden, Bill Justin and Scott Karl were quick to get back to the defense. Bill Justin is still with Rita Mitchell, Robert Foden at the front is up with Will Foster, and Scott Carr is a little further back with Xiao Yao at the bottom.

Will Foster slowed down slightly and glanced at Xiao Yao on the right, then suddenly accelerated, and started to lay up directly with the ball. Robert Foden, who was defending him, was slightly shaken by Will Foster, but was not completely shaken off, and jumped up with Will Foster with his arms raised. Will Foster, although not covered by Robert Foden, was interfered with and did not make a layup this time.

Xiao Yao and Scott Carr, as well as Bill Justin on the left, saw Will Foster make a layup, and they all rushed to the basket to grab the rebound, only the petite Rita Mitchell did not rush over to join in the fun.

After bouncing twice on the rebound and the hoop, the basketball fell closer to Bill Justin, but Xiao Yao took advantage of his height and bounce to get ahead of Bill Justin and pluck the rebound from his head.

After landing on the ground, Xiao Yao waved the basketball in the direction of Rita Mitchell, making a gesture to pass the ball, Bill Justin immediately took a step back, ready to turn around to defend Rita Mitchell. Xiao Yao did not pass the ball, but took advantage of Bill Justin's step back, slapped the basketball to the ground, used this dribble to adjust his body's center of gravity, and then pressed against Scott Carr, who was pressing behind him, and forcibly jumped under the basket.

"Di~"

"Smack!"

The referee's whistle blew, and the basketball bounced off the rebound before falling into the hoop. The referee immediately gestured for two points to be valid and added a penalty for a penalty. It turned out that when Xiao Yao forced a shot under the basket, Scott Carr fouled his hand while defending.

"Good shot! Two plus one, Xiao Yao scored, and also got a chance to add a penalty. Li Jun exclaimed happily.

This is the first time Xiao Yao has stood on the free throw line in this game. Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "We have seen Xiao Yao's back reverse pass tonight, I don't know if we will see his so-called urinal free throw? These two actions were Xiao Yao's first initiative in the charity game that year, and I believe many viewers are still fresh in their memories." ”

"I remember that free throw, too!" said Li Junye, "although the name is not very elegant, and the action looks a little... But it's a very new and interesting way to take free throws. The audience will feel very happy when they see it, but it is quite suitable for the atmosphere of today's Masters performance. ”

When the two commentators were talking, Xiao Yao had already stood on the free throw line. After receiving the basketball from the referee hitting the ground, Xiao Yao did not squat with the ball in both hands and make a free throw with the urinal, as the two commentators guessed, but suddenly turned around and stood with his back to the basket.

"What is this for?" many people looked at each other with strange expressions.

"Does Xiao Yao want to throw a handful on his back?" Li Jun in the commentary seat smiled, "This is too casual, right?"

After turning around, Xiao Yao first lowered his head and adjusted his position to make sure that he was standing in the middle of the free throw line, and then bent back, his head also tilted back as much as he could, bending his whole person into a bow. When he saw the reflection of the basket behind him, Xiao Yao used the shooting technique to push the basketball backwards. After the basketball shot, Xiao Yao also immediately straightened up and turned around.

The basketball arced, smashed into the center of the box in the middle of the rebound, bounced off and fell into the frame.

"yes~" Seeing the basketball in the frame, Xiao Yao raised his hands proudly while retreating.
