This Masters is an exhibition match with entertainment as the players are all big stars, and the content of the training sessions is not particularly formal. Before the players arrived, everyone was free to carry out the practice of passing and receiving, shooting, and running the basket, so that the coaching staff members had a basic impression.

After the personnel arrived, all the players and members of the coaching staff formally introduced themselves, and the training session directly began with the training content of group confrontation. Xiao Yao's Eastern Celebrity Team has a total of 11 players, except for Joey Bielsa, who is also an assistant coach and is not destined to have much playing time, there are only 10 regular players, which can play a full 5-on-5 game.

Head coach Rachel Blunt and assistant coach Joey Bielsa will occasionally interrupt the game during group drills, arranging some simple pick-and-roll tactics according to the situation on the court, and then letting everyone watch the effect in the next game.

When Xiao Yao arrived at the training hall, everyone could feel that Joey Bilsa took a fancy to Xiao Yao from Joey Birsa's attitude towards Xiao Yao. As citizens of the No. 1 basketball powerhouse, some American stars are a little unconvinced by Xiao Yao, who is looked at differently by Joey Bilsa, but they don't say it directly because they are worried about Joey Bilsa's status as a former All-Star player. But after this training session, Xiao Yao is obviously stronger than others in terms of both his personal ability and the tactical comprehension ability of the coaching staff, and everyone understands why Joey Bielsa is so interested in Xiao Yao.

This Masters is an exhibition match. These stars participate in this competition, in addition to having a certain sense of winning and losing, their greater desire is to have fun and have the opportunity to express themselves. And when it comes to performance, there's no better chance than scoring. Xiao Yao not only showed his overall view and passing ability in terms of personal ability in the training session, but also fully demonstrated his selflessness as a ball control organizer.

As a player who is capable and very willing to help his teammates score, Xiao Yao quickly won the favor of his teammates. After just one training session, the relationship between these American stars and Xiao Yao has become extremely familiar.

The session lasted only about an hour and a half before it ended. After saying goodbye to his new teammates, Xiao Yao told Sun Tingting that he still had something to do in the afternoon and couldn't go to the airport to pick up the plane, and asked Sun Tingting to pick up Zhao Rui and others, who flew directly to Los Angeles today, in the afternoon.

Sun Tingting asked Xiao Yao curiously what was going on, Xiao Yao only said that it was related to tomorrow's celebrity game, and Sun Tingting didn't ask for details. Since Xiao Yao still has business in the afternoon, and Zhao Rui and the others are friends who grew up together, Sun Tingting has no objections, and happily accepted the task of picking up the airport and letting Xiao Yao go to his own business.

"Immortals" are already a well-known star band in the United States, and their families are still in Calabasas, but in addition to the school dormitory, they themselves have their own residences in downtown Los Angeles, and they are also Los Angeles natives. Xiao Yao did not let Sun Tingting, a person who has lived in New York for a long time, go to the airport in Los Angeles alone, and also found Dean and several other local friends to accompany Sun Tingting to the airport to pick up the airport.

Xiao Yao only got four family tickets, in addition to Sun Tingting, the other three were given to Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan and Zhou Zhihao, the three partners who grew up together, but this time the little friends who flew from Huaxia to Los Angeles were not the only three friends. Because tomorrow is a very special day, Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiyiguli also came to Los Angeles with their boyfriends.

Among the five friends who grew up together, only Zhou Zhihao is still single, and this time he is the only one who came by himself. If it weren't for Xiao Yao, a player who was a participant in the Celebrity Tournament, Zhou Zhihao himself was also interested in basketball, and he would not have been stimulated by being a light bulb with him anyway.

When he was on the plane, Zhou Zhihao also planned to complain that Xiao Yao would not pick a day to participate in the event after meeting at the airport, so that he was a lonely person who came to be stimulated, but after leaving the passenger passage, he was surprised to find that Xiao Yao was not among the people who came to pick up the plane.

In addition to Zhou Zhihao, others were also surprised that Xiao Yao did not come to pick up the airport, but fortunately, Sun Tingting was among the people who picked up the airport, and everyone did not feel angry. After Sun Tingting introduced several local friends of the "Immortals" band to Zhao Rui and others, Zhou Zhihao also immediately asked Sun Tingting about Xiao Yao's whereabouts.

Sun Tingting did not hide it, and directly told everyone that Xiao Yao still had something to do with the celebrity competition in the afternoon, and would go back to the hotel to meet everyone in the evening.

Although they are not very familiar with each other, since they are Xiao Yao's hair, several people in the "Immortals" band are also very enthusiastic about Zhao Rui and others. Xiao Yao was not there, Dean and the others were landlords, so it was natural to help Xiao Yao take on the responsibility of entertaining friends, and after sending a few people back to the booked hotel, he took a few people around several famous attractions in Los Angeles.

Except for Zhou Zhihao, everyone is an entertainment star. Although Zhao Rui and others are all learning to act, Zhao Rui also knows a few musical instruments, Lin Qisan, Nina Aiyiguli, Zhu Zitong's performance courses have vocal lessons, and they don't know anything about music, and Zhou Zhihao's boxer identity is very attractive to boys such as Dean and George. This group of people is of the same age, and they have a lot of personality and hobbies in common.

In the evening, when Xiao Yao called Sun Tingting's mobile phone to ask about Zhao Rui and others, a group of people were already having fun on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

After Xiao Yao arrived to join everyone, this group of young people also became more lively. It's just that when everyone asked Xiao Yao what he was going to do in the afternoon, Xiao Yao smiled and didn't answer, just said that he would know tomorrow.

Due to the special day tomorrow, Xiao Yao is going to participate in the celebrity competition, and Zhao Rui and others only arrived by plane in the afternoon, and the group of people did not play too late. At about ten o'clock in the evening, everyone said goodbye to each other and went back.

The kick-off time for the Masters is around nine p.m. Coupled with the previous red carpet ceremony, entertainment performances, pre-game warm-up, entrance introduction, etc., the whole event started in the evening. But even so, everyone still has a free day the next day.

It is not the first time that Zhao Rui and Zhou Zhihao have come to the United States, and it is not the first time that Lin Qisan has gone abroad, and Xiao Yao is not worried about their actions and safety in Los Angeles. Because today's day is special, after getting up in the morning, everyone did not invite friends, but tacitly acted separately in pairs.

Zhou Zhihao, the only bachelor who was more sad, was bored, and remembered that George, the black bassist who was also a bachelor in the band "Immortals" he met yesterday, seemed to be very interested in boxing, so he called him and asked him to find a gym with a gym to vent.

The organizer of the All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game arranged a shuttle bus for all the participating stars, but one car couldn't fit everyone, so Xiao Yao only planned to take Sun Tingting, Fang Yi and Sun Tingting to the stadium in the organizer's car with him, and let Zhao Rui and others go by themselves.

In the evening, Xiao Yao sent a message to Zhao Rui and others to remind the audience of the admission time, went back to the hotel with Sun Tingting to clean up, and met Fang Yi and Pei Minyi, waiting for the welcome car sent by the organizer of the All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game.

The vehicle arrived in front of the hotel on time, and the four people also arrived at the stadium on time. The four of them entered Xiao Yao's lounge, Xiao Yao changed into a dress, and Pei Minyi helped Xiao Yao take care of his makeup. It didn't take long for the organizer's staff to come in and inform Xiao Yao to go out on the red carpet.

Sun Tingting also left the lounge with Xiao Yao, but she did not walk the red carpet with Xiao Yao, but went to the family seats by the court to find Zhao Rui and others.

Although Xiao Yao himself did not specifically promote the news of his participation in the Celebrity Competition, Xiao Yao's popularity in the United States is still very good. He has several music pieces that have done well on the billboard, not to mention, and has been on the social news several times in the United States. Even though there are not many fans in the United States, there are still many people among the American people who are interested in him.

When Xiao Yao appeared on the red carpet under the introduction of the location host, the audience and other celebrity fans next to the red carpet area also let out a lot of cheers and screams. Although these voices are obviously not neat, in terms of volume alone, this sound does not seem to be much worse than that of other American stars.

This is Xiao Yao's second red carpet show, and it is also the first red carpet show abroad, and it is also the first time to walk the red carpet alone, but the performance is still very good. Smiling and waving to the audience on the red carpet, the signatures on the signature board are all natural and appropriate, and finally facing the instant interview of the location host, he is also quite confident and calm.

After the red carpet ceremony, Xiao Yao entered the stadium and was caught by the on-site reporter of Haiyan Video, who had obtained the broadcast rights of Huaxia Network, to make a brief on-site interview. For domestic media reporters, Xiao Yao's attitude is naturally more enthusiastic, and he always answers all the questions of this female reporter with a smile.

After returning to the lounge to rest for a while, Xiao Yao took off his formal dress, changed into sportswear, and walked out of the lounge and sat on the sidelines of the court through the players' tunnel.

Fang Yi and Pei Minyi, the two team members, did not have seats on the sidelines, so they could only watch the live broadcast on the TV in the lounge tonight. Xiao Yao didn't ask the two of them to wait for him in the lounge and leave first, but neither of them agreed, and insisted on staying to take care of them. Xiao Yao saw that the conditions in the lounge were good, so he agreed.

The order in which Xiao Yao walked the red carpet was arranged relatively late, and the time he appeared on the court was relatively late. When Xiao Yao came to the bench of the eastern players on the side of the court, there were already seven or eight teammates sitting and chatting on the bench. Xiao Yao said hello to his teammates one by one, and immediately looked up to find his girlfriend and friends in the family seat behind.

The family tickets given to the players by the organizers were not far behind the bench, and Xiao Yao quickly found four people. After saying hello to Joey Biersa, Xiao Yao did not rest on the bench, but stepped directly into the audience and sat together with his friends.

"Everyone is on the bench, you come here alone, isn't it?" Sun Tingting pointed to the bench below and said to Xiao Yao.

It's not that she thinks it's too crowded and uncomfortable to squeeze five people into four seats, but she is worried that Xiao Yao's approach is too unsociable and will make other stars have opinions about him. If teammates are dissatisfied with Xiao Yao, they may not pass the ball to Xiao Yao when they play later, which will affect Xiao Yao's performance.

"It's okay, I can't run here for a while, except for playing and staying on the bench and having time to talk to my team-mates. Xiao Yao smiled, "And you also went to yesterday's training class, I have a good relationship with them, and they won't have any opinions on me." ”

Sun Tingting remembered that several American stars in the training session yesterday smiled and said that Xiao Yao should pass the ball more to them during today's game, so she temporarily put aside her worries.

Xiao Yao sat with the four of them for a while, and all the star players of the two teams arrived. Once all the players are here, it's time to warm up. Joey Bielsa waved his hand to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao waved in response, left Sun Tingting and the others, and ran to the court to warm up.

During the warm-up, the audience had basically all entered, and the whole scene was very lively. The Masters is an exhibition match, and most of the players participating in the competition are acting stars in the entertainment industry, and there is no shortage of expressive stars and stars who can play, so this warm-up time has also become an alternative performance time to warm up for the game.

Many star players played tricks during the warm-up, and some celebrities simply didn't warm up and did some funny performances on the side of the court, which caused bursts of laughter and screams from the audience.

Compared with those very expressive stars, Xiao Yao's warm-up behavior looks much more ordinary and professional. After moving his body and moving all the muscles, bones and joints of his body, Xiao Yao picked up a basketball on the sidelines, walked to the free throw line and started to practice free throws in a regular manner. After practicing 20 free throws, Xiao Yao dribbled the basketball and made ten layups at a medium speed, and then ran outside the three-point line to practice the fixed-point three-point shot.

"Young, that's all you do? Why don't you show it off?" a young black man who dribbled to the three-point line asked Xiao Yao with a smile.

He's just earned some applause and cheers from the crowd for a hand-to-hand layup, and this time he's ready to run beyond the three-point line to do it again.

"Will, I don't play tricks when I warm up. Xiao Yao smiled and said to the black young man beside him.

The young man's name is Will Foster, 28 years old this year, he is a comedian, very talented and very performing, a member of the Eastern Star team of this Masters game, and Xiao Yao's teammate.

"Like Daniel?" Will Foster smiled and pointed to a man on the other side of the court who was also doing shooting practice in the half, "Are you Chinese people so low-key? No wonder I heard that Chinese people are very reserved." ”

Xiao Yao looked in the direction of Will Foster's finger and found that he was referring to Zhuo Zhiyuan, another Chinese star in this Masters match. In this celebrity game, Xiao Yao was divided into the Eastern Star Team, and Zhuo Zhiyuan was assigned to the Western Star Team, the two were still opponents, and Zhuo Zhiyuan's warm-up area was in the other half.

This is the third time for Zhuo Zhiyuan, and for Will Foster is the fourth, both of them participated in the Masters last year, so Will Foster knows Zhuo Zhiyuan, and his name is Daniel.

"No, they're not the same. Joey Bielsa, who didn't know when he arrived with the two, smiled and said to Will Foster, "Young and Daniel have different styles and performances off the court, and even more different styles and performances on the court. ”

Joey Bielsa has participated in China's star charity basketball game and also participated in the All-Star Celebrity Game of American professional basketball last year, and he obviously knows Zhuo Zhiyuan better than Will Foster.

"What do you mean?" asked Will Foster curiously.

"You'll know when it's time to play!" laughs Joy Birsa.
