When Chen Yang took Xiao Yao into the training hall of the national men's basketball team, the men's basketball players were doing shooting training. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that the players were training, Chen Yang did not interrupt, but took Xiao Yao to the empty audience and chatted with Xiao Yao while watching the players train.

"I met your dad on the show "Challenge Champion" before," Chen Yang said with a smile, "I heard your dad say that you can also play basketball?"

"Well, I started playing in junior high school. Xiao Yao nodded.

"Junior high school just started? later than I thought. Chen Yang shook his head and said, "I remember when you recorded "Where Are You Going, Dad", you were only more than five years old, and you were already standing on the sidelines to give your dad and them off-court guidance, and you only started playing basketball in junior high school?"

"You're not going to mention that I rejected your recommendation to me to go to basketball school again, do you?" Xiao Yao looked at Chen Yang with a wry smile.

"Yes," Chen Yang nodded, "I heard that you have been selected by the National Olympiad training team to train? If you really practice in basketball school for more than ten years, even if you only practice average basic skills, with your brain, it is too early to say that you can join some of the following people, but I think you should also be able to enter the U16, U17 and so on of the youth team of a professional club. ”

As he spoke, Chen Yang pointed to the men's basketball players who were training off the court, and said regretfully: "In a few years, it is not impossible to appear among them." ”

"You have such high expectations for me?" Xiao Yao said with some surprise.

"Of course, a five-year-old child can coach a group of adults to play basketball on the sidelines and still command well, and this kind of person is clearly a basketball genius in my eyes. Chen Yang said, "Although the events of these years have shown that you are a genius yourself, not only in basketball, but in the eyes of people like me who take basketball as a profession, I only see you as a basketball genius." ”

Xiao Yao couldn't tell Chen Yang that I came back in time, when I was five years old, my mind was filled with the experience gained from playing and watching football in my previous life for more than ten years, so I could only continue to smile helplessly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, anyway, with your current age and situation, it is unlikely that you will enter the basketball school system to practice basketball again. Chen Yang shrugged his shoulders and asked Xiao Yao a different question: "Then do you watch basketball too much?"

"Well, basketball games are still watched a lot. Xiao Yao nodded.

"As a basketball fan, do you have any thoughts on the prospects of the national team in the World Championships this year?" Chen Yang asked Xiao Yaodao.

"To be honest," Xiao Yao said timidly in this regard, "After you retired, the inside line of our national team dropped a notch. Although the outside players in this year are stronger than the outside players in the last World Championships, but without you, I think the overall strength has dropped a lot, not to mention reaching or even surpassing the eighth place in the best result of the previous year, I think qualifying from the group is the most realistic goal. ”

In these editions, 24 teams participated in the men's World Basketball Championships. These teams will be divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D to play the group round-robin first, and after the group stage, the top four teams in each group of 6 teams will qualify and enter the round of 16, and then fight each other in pairs for the knockout round.

"It seems that I have really watched the game a lot over the years, but the game is not a math problem, it still depends on the on-the-spot performance. Who would have thought that we would win against Germany and Spain in the last edition? Anyway, our level and results are still good, and the fans are still worth looking forward to. Chen Yang nodded, as a former national player of the national team and the current technical director, Chen Yang knows a lot more about his national team and the World Championships team than Xiao Yao, so he can naturally hear that Xiao Yao's evaluation is still more pertinent, but he is not willing to be underestimated by Xiao Yao, so he can't help but add a few words.

"That's," Xiao Yao also nodded and smiled, "No matter whether our Chinese basketball is a peak or a trough, at least it has always been the top in Asia, and we are soft to win the Asian Championships, winning the championship is not news, not winning the championship is news." Among the three major men's balls, basketball is a façade for us in China. ”

"Well said!" Chen Yang patted Xiao Yao's shoulder, stroked his palm, and laughed.

While the two were chatting in the audience, a long whistle sounded on the training ground. When Chen Yang heard this, he hurriedly pulled Xiao Yao and said, "The shooting training is over, there is a fifteen-minute break, let's go down." ”

The two walked from the audience to the training ground, and Chen Yang first took Xiao Yao to say hello to the head coach on the side of the court.

The head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team is Alex Jefferson from the United States, who used to be the head coach of the American professional basketball team. Because he was the head coach of the professional club where Chen Yang played in the United States, he has a very good personal relationship with Chen Yang. The reason why he was able to become the head coach of the Chinese men's national basketball team is also inseparable from Chen Yang's strong recommendation.

"Hey, AJ!" Chen Yang smiled and greeted head coach Alex Jefferson in English, "This is Xiao Yao, the promotional photo photographer I recommended for the team." ”

Chen Yang has already greeted the team members when they find a photographer to take promotional photos for the team's players. American head coach Alex Jefferson doesn't have a problem with taking fashion photos of his players. He has seen this kind of thing in professional club teams in the United States a lot, and he is still very supportive of this approach to improving the image and popularity of players and teams as long as taking pictures does not take up training time. It's just that when he saw Xiao Yao beside Chen Yang, he expressed some surprise at Xiao Yao's age.

"Hello, Mr. Jefferson. Xiao Yao took the initiative to greet in English. He and Alex Jefferson are not as familiar as Chen Yang, so naturally they will not be called AJ by others.

"Hello," Jefferson shook hands with Xiao Yao and praised with a smile: "I didn't expect the photographer Yang was looking for to be so young." ”

Immediately, Jefferson, who knew the purpose of the two, waved his hand to the two and said, "The matter of taking pictures has nothing to do with me, you can go and talk to the team members yourself." ”

Chen Yang and Xiao Yao smiled and signaled to Jefferson, and then walked to the players who were resting after finishing training on the side of the court.

Chen Yang has only been retired for two years, and now he is the team's technical director, he is still like a big brother in this national team, and the players are much more affectionate to him than to the head coach. Therefore, seeing Chen Yang and Xiao Yao coming over, the team members got up one after another and surrounded the two.

"Brother Yang, this is the photographer you found for us? This is too young, isn't it? It doesn't seem to be as old as me?" Guo Qi, the youngest member of the team, asked curiously.

"Yes, so young, okay?" Many other team members next to him also echoed suspiciously.

"Hey, how do you talk, don't you know how to be polite?" Chen Yang glared at a few guys who spoke, and then nodded: "This is Xiao Yao, and it is indeed the photographer I found for everyone." ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Yao. I hope to have a good time working with you. Xiao Yao was also mentally prepared for the players' doubts in advance, and greeted the players without any dissatisfaction.

The team members nodded politely to Xiao Yao, and then the outspoken Guo Qi said to Chen Yang again: "Brother Yang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just... This photographer is too young, isn't he?"

"Why?, look down on young people?" Chen Yang said to Guo Qi a little angrily, "Guo Zi, in terms of age, you are the youngest in the team, have everyone looked down on you since you joined the team?"

Guo Qi is 23 years old and is a young national player who has just been recruited in this year's men's basketball training camp. Because he is the youngest, the veteran players also take good care of him, and because he is the youngest, he will say whatever comes to mind among these people.

"It's different, I've played all the way from the U17, U19, U22 in the national team, and I've been a starter in the professional league, so everyone knows me. But he's different, I've never heard of him. Guo Qi argued.

"Yo, you seem to know a lot of fashion photographers, let me hear a few names?" Chen Yang smiled, "People are photographers, not professional basketball players, haven't you heard anything strange?"

"I know!" Suddenly, another member of the team standing next to Guo Qi spoke: "Xiao Yao, the son of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, he played with Xiao Siqi when he went to participate in a variety show last time, but isn't his son acting and singing? Why is he a photographer again?"

"Xu Li, as he deserves to have participated in variety shows, knows more about the entertainment industry than others. Chen Yang looked at the team members who opened their mouths and said, "But can't acting and singing also be photographers?"

Chen Yang faced everyone: "He is a young genius photographer, his photography works have been published in foreign professional photography magazines, and he has also taken advertising photos for well-known foreign brands. ”

"So powerful?" Guo Qi was surprised and asked Chen Yang: "Brother Yang, did he take a picture of you? Don't you have a lot of endorsements and advertising contracts, and did he take any of them for you?"

"Uh... Not really. Chen Yang was slightly embarrassed.

"Then how could such a powerful photographer come to take pictures of us for free?" another team member also asked suspiciously, "I heard that this time for the photoshoot, the photographer not only took pictures for free, but also provided the venue, equipment, and clothing. ”

"You have been training intensively recently, and you know less about the outside world," Chen Yang explained, "because Xiao Yao's previous photography works were taken abroad, and few people in China know about it, and now the media has some doubts about Xiao Yao's identity as a photographer, so he took pictures for free this time, in addition to cheering for our team's participation in the World Championships, it is also a way for him to respond to doubts." In fact, let's pick up a bargain this time, usually photographers like Xiao Yao don't necessarily get it if we spend money. ”

"Since there are doubts, then why do you believe him so much, Brother Yang? You have known each other before?" Guo Qi asked again.

"Of course," Chen Yang nodded, "I knew this little guy when he was five years old. At that time, he was only five years old, and he already knew a lot about basketball, and I wanted to recommend him to go to my master's basketball school. In my eyes this guy is a genius, he says he's a photographer, I believe it!

And just because he knows basketball at the age of five, I think he must be a fashion photographer who knows basketball very well, if not the best fashion photographer, so I recommend him to take promotional photos for you. ”

"Really?" Guo Qi was still a little skeptical, so he proposed: "Then why don't you come and play with me, let's see if he really understands basketball." (To be continued.) )
