Chapter 590: Invitation

"Wow~ Xiao Yao sent the first hot pot of the game!" Li Jun on the commentary seat exclaimed excitedly.

"The fast attack of the western army in three fights and two actually called Xiao Yao and the goddess in the east to join forces to defend it, and Xiao Yao also gave Beasley a big hat!" Zhang Yuan said with the same excitement.

After landing, Xiao Yao immediately stretched out his hand to Quincy Beasley, who was knocked to the ground by himself. Xiao Yao caught up from the side to seal the cover, and the car couldn't stop before hitting Quincy Beasley's body, so Quincy Beasley, who was covered, didn't have an angry expression, took Xiao Yao's outstretched hand and stood up, and smiled and patted Xiao Yao on the back.

Xiao Yao covered the basketball thrown by Quincy Beasley in the air before hitting Quincy Beasley, and the referee did not award a foul, at which point it became the frontcourt sideline ball of the Western Celebrities.

When the Western Celebrity team served the sideline ball, the players of both teams were all in place, and the court became a positional battle.

After the sideline ball was kicked, the Western Celebrities passed the basketball to Scott Carr. Scott Carr took the ball and made a feint that broke straight past Jason Danfol's defence. After entering the three-point line, Scott Karl did not go straight to the basket, but made a pull-up jump shot from the middle distance, and this time the shot was also a solid shot.

Switching offense and defense, the Eastern Celebrity Team still advanced to the front court with the ball on the side of Kevin Donovan, and the other three ran to the opponent's half court in advance.

"Jan! Jason!" Joy Bilsa shouted their names as he stood on the sideline.

Xiao Yao and Jason Danfur both turned their heads to look over, and Joy Bielsa stretched out the index fingers of both hands and made a crossed motion. After both of them looked at it, they both nodded.

Kevin Donovan took the ball to the top of the arc and passed it to Xiao Yao on the right. Xiao Yao immediately shook his right shoulder after receiving the ball, and after deflecting the center of gravity of Quincy Beasley, who was defending himself, he immediately slapped the basketball to his left, and the left side broke through.

After Quincy Beasley was deceived into losing his center of gravity, although he did not give up following Xiao Yao, he was pressed behind the right side by Xiao Yao, who had been dribbling with his left hand, and lost his effective defensive position. Xiao Yao went diagonally to the front of the basket, and Robert Foden, who was defending Kevin Donovan at the top of the arc, immediately turned to help defend and rushed to the basket with Xiao Yao's left side.

Under the basket is the turf of two female professional players. Carmel Norton, who originally occupied the inside of the basket, immediately relaxed the pressure on Abbey Lawrence, turned to the outside, and blocked the direction of Xiao Yao under the basket. However, with the experience of the ball just now, Carmel Norton also prevented Xiao Yao's pass to Abbey Lawrence under the basket, but stood sideways, ready to cut off Xiao Yao's pass or return to make up for the defense.

When Xiao Yao stepped into the three-second zone, his left hand flipped his wrist, and he changed from dribbling to smashing the basketball behind him. The basketball bounced off the ground and landed on Kevin Donovan, who was still at the top of the arc.

Kevin Donovan didn't hesitate to catch the ball and immediately pulled up and shot. Kevin Donovan, a former professional player, is not a pure pitcher, but he also plays outside and guard, and the basic skills of long-range shooting are still there. In the face of such an unguarded gap, Kevin Donovan also hit this three-point shot steadily.

Donovan hit a three-pointer and the East Army now leads 8-6. Li Jun on the commentary seat said with a smile.

"This goal is assisted by Xiao Yao again. Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "Although Xiao Yao hasn't scored a point now, he has three assists and two rebounds, one of which is still a frontcourt rebound, and there is also a block, and he is definitely one of the most eye-catching players in the opening stage." ”

Although Xiao Yao only had three assists, he had already given the other four teammates a chance to shoot in an open position, but it was a pity that Danfuel's shot was not shot. Li Jun then smiled, "But there is also a star in the west who has a very eye-catching performance." Carl has made three shots and three hits, and he has scored six points from the Western Celebrity Team, which is just two extremes with Xiao Yao. ”

"Yes, Carl's opening stage felt so hot~" Zhang Yuan answered with a smile, and suddenly found that the situation on the field had changed somewhat, and said with a little surprise, "Yo, the Eastern Celebrity Team has adjusted its defensive strategy, and Xiao Yao has gone to defend Carl, is this for Carl's hot hand in the first three shots?"

It turned out that this time the Western Celebrity Team was also slowly advancing to fight positional warfare. When everyone settled into their respective positions, they found that the Eastern Celebrity team adjusted their defensive strategy. Xiao Yao, who was originally defending Quincy Beasley, switched to defend Scott Carr, and Jason Danfur went to defend Quincy Beasley, who was extremely fast.

Western Celebrity Robert Foden, who holds the ball, also spotted the adjustment. Originally, this was an exhibition game, and it would not be played by one person, but since the Eastern Celebrity Team made this adjustment, Robert Foden didn't mind a targeted performance. After a slight hesitation, Robert Foden passed the ball to a hot Scott Carr.

Scott Carr saw that the opponent changed the player who defended him, and his heart was also a little excited. After receiving the ball, Scott Carr repeated his old trick, first boggling and then dribbling inside. Xiao Yao immediately stepped sideways and followed Scott Carr to the basket. Scott Karl didn't plan to rush to the basket to face the two-meter-tall Abbie Lawrence's defense, but he still burst into the mid-range position and made a pull-up jumper.

Xiao Yao's action speed and reaction speed are much faster than the middle-aged actor in his forties, and he has long been guarding against him in his heart, so when he saw Scott Carr stop suddenly, he immediately stabilized his steps back. When Scott Carr jumped up to shoot, Xiao Yao also raised his arm high and jumped to block.

Scott Carr was taken aback at the sight of the arm sealed in front of him. In order to avoid being hit by a large hat. Scott Carr had to adjust the angle of his shot in the air, retract the hand holding the basketball, and increase the parabola of the shot.

Scott Carr's improvised shot shot straight out of the basket. Abbey Lawrence, who was stuck in position under the basket, didn't even jump, and reached out to catch the ball thrown by Scott Carr.

After receiving the ball, Abbey Lawrence threw the basketball into the opponent's half court with a big swing. Kevin Donovan, who was on the periphery, immediately rushed out, caught the basketball that bounced off the ground in the opponent's half, and dribbled to the opponent's basket.

The fastest defender on the Western Celebrity's side is not Robert Foden, who defends Kevin Donovan, but Quincy Beasley, a sprinter who defends the middle-aged actor.

Quincy Beasley is a great sprinter, and he was already behind Kevin Donovan when he started with the ball. When Kevin Donovan reached for a layup, Quincy Beasley also had an outstretched arm behind him. However, Quincy Beasley did not cover Kevin Donovan, but slapped Kevin Donovan on the arm holding the ball.

"Di~" The referee's whistle sounded. Kevin Donovan still insisted on throwing the ball out, but unfortunately the basketball bounced on the rebound and the hoop and bounced off the hoop instead of falling into the hoop.

The fighter fouled, and Kevin Donovan of the Eastern Conference Celebrity made two free throws.

Kevin Donovan made the first free throw, and before the second free throw, both teams made substitutions. Both teams have replaced the female professional players on the inside, with the Western Celebrity Team replacing Zhuo Zhiyuan, and the Eastern Celebrity Team replacing a male actor named Ben Scour, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall. In addition, the Eastern Celebrity Team also replaced the middle-aged actor Jason Danfur with Will Foster.

The fate of the two professional players is normal, but the actor couldn't help but make a fuss when he left the game. Will Foster, who was in a hurry to play, didn't even have time to take off his jacket when he came on the court, and only took it off after he came on the court, and handed it to Jason Danfull to help him take back to the bench. As a result, Jason Danfuel, who was full of disgruntle, threw Will Foster's clothes directly to the ground, and no one returned to the bench, but ran to the sidelines to interact with the audience.

Such an actor with a lot of "dramas" also caused a lot of laughter from the audience and a lot of ridicule in the commentary seat.

After the substitution, Kevin Donovan on the court also hit the second free throw safely.

The Western Celebrities are still controlled by Robert Foden. The new Zhuo Zhiyuan is currently the tallest player on the Western Celebrity side, occupying the center position on the inside line, and Ben Squill, the new player on the Eastern Celebrity team, is also the tallest player on the court, following up the interior defense. Will Foster replaced Jason Danfur in defending Quincy Beasley, and Xiao Yao remained the top scorer for the Eastern Celebrity Scott Carr.

Scott Carr's last shot was interfered with by Xiao Yao and turned into a "three-no-stick", which directly gave the Eastern Celebrities a chance to break quickly, and this time Robert Foden did not give the ball to Scott Carr again, but to Bill Justin. Bill Justin faced Rita Mitchell's defense, and directly ate hard with his speed and broke through. Xiao Yao, who was not far from him, immediately retracted his defense and blocked his path to the basket. Bill Justin flicked his right hand and gave the ball to Scott Carr, who was let go by Xiao Yao.

At this time, Xiao Yao was two steps away from Scott Karl, and Scott Karl did not dribble again after receiving the ball, and jumped up to shoot. Xiao Yao saw Scott Carr jump up and shoot, and he also jumped up after raising his arm to catch up with a step. Due to the distance, Xiao Yao, who was one step away, could not block Scott Carr's shot this time. But Xiao Yao still had a certain influence on Scott Carr. Scott Carr's shot missed, slammed into the rim and bounced off.

Ben Scour pressed Zhuo Zhiyuan firmly behind him and jumped up to pick up the rebound.

Seeing that Zhuo Zhiyuan under the basket did not occupy a favorable position, the Western Celebrities knew that this frontcourt rebound was hopeless. As Ben Scour jumped up to grab the rebound, the other four turned and ran back. Ben Scour took the rebound and saw that there was no chance of a fast break, so he gave the ball to Kevin Donovan.

Kevin Donovan is really just responsible for dribbling the ball from the back to the front. After crossing the halfway line, Kevin Donovan handed the basketball to Xiao Yao again.

"Hey, Zhuo Zhiyuan guards against Xiao Yao, is this going to see the duel between the two Chinese stars?" Li Jun said with some excitement.

"It would have been nice to have a heads-up. Zhang Yuan also smiled.

It turned out that Zhuo Zhiyuan, who played on the inside line during the offense, did not occupy the inside line when defending, but stood on the outside to defend Xiao Yao.

In fact, not only Li Jun and Zhang Yuan, the two Chinese commentators, but many people at the scene focused their attention on the two Chinese stars on the field.

Xiao Yao dribbled twice after receiving the ball, and then slowly moved to the top of the arc, observing the situation on the field. Zhuo Zhiyuan just opened his arms and followed Xiao Yao all the way, and there was no special performance.

After slowly moving to a position close to the top of the arc, Xiao Yao raised his arm and directly hoisted the basketball into the inside. Ben Scout was nearly 10 centimeters taller than Quincy Beasley, who was defending him, and weighed a lot more, grabbing a better position on the inside. Xiao Yao's ball gave a little advance, very close to the basket, Ben Scour took a step forward, reached out to catch the ball falling in the air, and was in the most favorable shooting position under the basket. Ben Squill didn't even put his hands down, he just threw the basketball to the rebound, and the basketball hit the board and went into the frame.

It seems that Xiao Yao has no intention of going head-to-head with Zhuo Zhiyuan. Li Jun smiled helplessly.

Zhuo Zhiyuan glanced back after Xiao Yao's pass. After seeing Ben Scour score, Zhuo Zhiyuan didn't say anything, and ran towards the opponent's half of the court. To be honest, although the coach arranged for him to play to defend Xiao Yao, he really didn't have any intention of going head-to-head with Xiao Yao.

Switching between attack and defence, Robert Foden dribbled past half-time before stopping at the top of the arc. Zhuo Zhiyuan under the basket had already tried to take advantage of Ben Scout in terms of physical confrontation and strength, and suddenly pulled out and ran to the outside. Robert Foden saw that Zhuo Zhiyuan had no one to defend for the time being, so he passed the basketball to Zhuo Zhiyuan.

Zhuo Zhiyuan immediately turned after receiving the ball, faced Ben Scur, who was following the defense, dribbled with his left hand to take a step to the left, and then immediately jumped and shot. In fact, although Zhuo Zhiyuan is tall, he is not the style of playing inside at all, and he still has a certain degree of confidence in outside shooting.

Ben Skull saw Zhuo Zhiyuan jump up and shoot, and immediately jumped up with his arms raised. However, he didn't cover Zhuo Zhiyuan this time, but slapped Zhuo Zhiyuan's hand.

"Di~" The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

Zhuo Zhiyuan still threw the ball, but although he didn't throw it, he finally had two free throw opportunities.

At this time, the first quarter of the game was already halfway through. Taking advantage of the penalty kill, the two teams made some substitutions again. On the Eastern Celebrity team's side, Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell were replaced, leaving only Kevin Donovan as a starter to stay on the court. The Western Celebrities made three substitutions at once, leaving only Robert Foden, a former professional who started the game, on the court.

After high-fived a few teammates on the bench who stood up and stretched out their hands, and waved with a few old friends behind the bench with a smile, Xiao Yao sat down in the empty seat on the bench. Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell ended together, and the two also sat together.

"Hello Young, I'm NBA2KTV host Rita Mitchell!" Rita Mitchell smiled and stretched out her hand to Xiao Yao.

"Uh~ Hello!" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, then reached out and shook Rita Mitchell, and smiled a little in surprise, "Didn't we already know each other during the training session yesterday?"

"I would like to formally introduce myself again because I think you play basketball very well, and I want to invite you to my show as a guest, I wonder if you are interested?" said Rita Mitchell with a smile.
