Since Guo Qi was unwilling to go it alone, Xiao Yao could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, threw the basketball back to Guo Qi, and walked to the sidelines to warm up.

After warming up, Xiao Yao picked up an idle basketball on the sidelines and walked to the court to do shooting exercises.

The two practiced shooting for a while, and the others arrived one after another. Everyone is a star and on the same team, and many people are meeting for the first time, so everyone inevitably comes forward to get to know each other and say hello.

Among these people, the biggest name is naturally the former All-Star of American professional basketball. Xiao Yao's former MLS basketball player, Joey Bilsa, is a black American player who is known for his self-discipline and hard work when playing in NBA. Although he is the biggest star in this team, he did not play a big name, and came earlier than the coach. Of course, there are no big names in this team, and even the last one to arrive is earlier than the stipulated training time.

Seeing that the personnel had arrived, the head coach of the blue team also gathered everyone and started today's training session in advance.

The head coach of the blue team is named Wei Zhiping, who is in his sixties and was the main player of the national team of the Chinese men's basketball team when he was young. In the 80s of the last century, it was the outstanding performance of the group of people with him as the core who won several Asian Championships in a row, established the hegemony of Chinese basketball in Asia, and was a well-deserved basketball legend in China. In addition to serving in a basketball club in the Huaxia Professional League, he is also one of the very famous professional basketball commentators on CCTV Sports Channel, and fans who like to watch basketball games basically know him.

Such a basketball celebrity, whether in terms of qualifications or level, is more than enough to be the head coach of this improvised professional and non-professional mixed team, and everyone is very convinced of him. Because of his experience of studying and living in the United States, and his long-term work as a guest commentator for TV games, he can do a good job in communicating with American foreign aid, and in controlling the balance between professionalism, viewing and entertainment in this exhibition game, and he is a very suitable person in all aspects.

After gathering everyone, head coach Wei Zhiping also first let everyone introduce themselves, and then officially got to know each other. At the same time, when introducing himself, Wei Zhiping also asked everyone to talk about his technical characteristics and good position by the way.

"Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Yao, twenty years old, I should be the youngest in this team, and I ask you seniors and brothers and sisters to take care of me. When it was Xiao Yao's turn, Xiao Yao said very low-key.

"Twenty, what are you doing?" asked Bilsa, curiously in English.

Because most of the people present were Chinese, and there was an interpreter standing next to Birsa, Xiao Yao spoke Chinese when he was not talking to Birsa alone. And Birsa's translator was also very conscientious in translating the Chinese spoken by everyone present.

"I'm a student!" This time, Xiao Yao did not wait for the translator to translate Birsa's English into Chinese, but replied directly in English with a smile.

"Isn't this a celebrity charity contest?" asked Bilsa.

"Of course he's a star. Guo Qi, who was standing next to Biersa, helped introduce Birsa, "He is not only a student, but also an actor, singer, and photographer. "Guo Qi has played in international competitions, and there are foreign teammates in the club, and his English level is still good.

"You also don't talk about directors and screenwriters. Liu Haoming on the side interjected with a smile. Liu Haoming is an actor, graduated from the Shen Opera Performance Department, and is the senior brother of Da Xiao Yao's seventh session.

"What?" said Bilsa, even more confused, "he has so many professions?"

"I think you should know about him," Guo continued, "Have you ever heard of that American Airlines Broke My Guitar?

"Jan Shaw?" said Bilsa, looking at Shaw. The video that cost American Airlines nearly $200 million and forced the head of American Airlines to publicly apologize in front of the media has been widely circulated in the United States, and Bilsa naturally knows about it.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"David who defeated Goliath, I like you, buddy!" Bilsa smiled and reached out to shake Xiao Yao's hand, and then put his arm around Xiao Yao's shoulder.

"Okay," Wei Zhiping, who watched the interaction between the two, interjected and asked Xiao Yao, "What are you good at, and what position are you used to playing?"

"I usually play on the outside, mainly at point guard, but also at point guard. Xiao Yao said.

"Now that the point guard has me, I think Xiao Yao is better off playing inside. Guo Qi opened his mouth again and said to Wei Zhiping, "Director Wei, have you seen the news of Xiao Yao's boxing explosion in tennis some time ago? His strength must be very good, although this height is a little worse than our professional players, but he will definitely not suffer among acting stars, I suggest arranging him to play inside." ”

"Brother Qi, I took promotional photos for your men's basketball team, you can't fool me like this, right?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes helplessly. In this kind of game, the outstanding players are generally outside players, and the inside players are basically hard work.

"Cut~ How many years ago did you help our national men's basketball team take pictures, and that time it was Yang Gela who came to shoot you, and I didn't ask you to take pictures, so it can't be considered a favor on my head, right?" Guo Qi said nonchalantly.

The women's basketball teammate Chen Nuo and other acting stars present all knew Xiao Yao and Guo Qi, but they didn't know why these two people in different circles had such a good relationship, and they felt a little unscrupulous when they dismantled each other. Hearing Guo Qi say this, everyone remembered that Xiao Yao took pictures of the national men's basketball team a few years ago, and they all showed sudden expressions.

"I remember, you took a very good promotional photo for the men's basketball team, and it was also featured in a French magazine. Chen Nuo put his arm on Xiao Yao's shoulder affectionately and said, "Our women's basketball team will also participate in the World Championships next year, when will we take a set of promotional photos for our women's basketball team?" Speaking of the group of men's basketball promotional photos a few years ago, their women's basketball players were very surprised and envious when they saw it, and now that they have met the main master, the cheerful and lively Chen Nuo also took the opportunity to tentatively ask Xiao Yao.

"I can't ask for a picture of my beautiful long-legged sisters. As long as the timing is okay, I will definitely help you shoot. Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, and added, "But this is not something you can count with me, and you have to agree with the leaders of your Basketball Association." ”

Chen Nuo is known as one of the two most beautiful women basketball players, and her personality is also more cheerful and generous, Xiao Yao's first impression of her is very good, and the fact of helping the women's basketball players take pictures is also more attractive to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao did not refuse her request. However, Xiao Yao remembered that the last time he took pictures for the men's basketball players, it was only through Chen Yang's interview with the leaders of the basketball management center and the consent of the leaders, so there was a later sentence.

"It's okay, you're much more famous now than you were back then, and the photos you took of the men's basketball team are there, as long as you want, the leadership will definitely agree. Chen Nuo smiled, "That's okay, I'll tell our coach when I go back, apply to the leaders, and you can't break your promise when the time comes." ”

Xiao Yao's current fame is there, and there is the effect of the men's basketball team's promotional photos in previous years as a reference, Chen Nuo believes that whether it is the head coach of the national team or the leader of the basketball association, they must be very supportive of finding Xiao Yao to take pictures of the women's basketball team.

"Okay, never break your word!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"Xiao Yao, my brother has a new drama going to be broadcast next month, can you help us take a few promotional photos?" Liu Haoming also came over to join in the fun.

"Senior brother, what are you doing to make a fuss?" Xiao Yao glanced at him and said, "The promotional photos of the TV series?

"Haha~" Xiao Yao's diametrically opposed attitude immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Xiao Yao, you are a cow, senior brother will not give face!" Liu Haoming gave a thumbs up and said quite tastefully.

"The sisters of the women's basketball team are participating in the World Series and contributing to the country, and I take pictures to cheer them on. If I really want to shoot, it will definitely be the same as the last time I took promotional photos for the men's basketball players, I prepared my own clothing, equipment and venues, and helped them shoot for free. Xiao Yao explained, and then deliberately stimulated Liu Haoming and said, "You can't let me take photos of your TV series for you for free, right? If you ask me to shoot it, do you have the budget for this TV series?"

"Ahh Liu Haoming said dejectedly. This kind of unplanned expenditure, it is estimated that the producer's publicity really does not have this budget.

"Help us shoot for free, it's interesting!" Chen Nuo patted Xiao Yao happily, "When you play, my sister will definitely pass you more!"

"How do I feel that the hearts of the three professional players have been pulled away by Xiao Yao all of a sudden? There are three masters feeding the ball, it seems that Xiao Yao is definitely going to be in the limelight in this competition. We unanimously asked for Xiao Yao to play inside!" Several other acting stars shouted one after another.

"Okay, okay, it's up to me to decide what position to play!" Wei Zhiping clapped his hands and said, "Now let's start today's training session first, I'll take a look at your level first, and then arrange the position and tactics." ”

The content of the training session is passing and receiving practice, shooting practice, running practice with taking turns to get to the basket, running without the ball, running back with the ball, and retreat and sliding on defense, which looks quite formal.

There are only two training sessions in two days, and these basic training programs are very limited to the improvement of people, but the players know that the head coach actually uses this to test their technical level and various physical qualities, and arrange the corresponding playing order, time and position on the field accordingly. In order to appear more on the field, several acting stars are also very serious. In this atmosphere, even a few professional players who can guarantee the main position are more serious about doing these training programs.

After several training subjects for the basic skills of the examination room, the head coach also had a certain understanding of the basketball foundation and level of several star players, and then began to design the staffing of the players on the court and several general tactical plays. Even if these non-professional players have limited execution on the field, at least after practice, it will look more like that.

Although everyone paid attention to it, the atmosphere of the whole training session was relatively relaxed. During training subjects such as shooting and layups, several professional players such as Bielsa occasionally do technical guidance and guide other teammates on their movements.

Since there were only nine players in the team, during the tactical drill, the offensive and defensive exercises were conducted in the half of the five-on-four attack. In the case of unequal numbers, it must be the side with a large number of people who has a certain advantage, but this kind of offensive and defensive tactical drills, the result is not important, Wei Zhiping is still constantly adjusting the position of individual players and the team to which he belongs, so this is not a battle between the main force and the substitute, but Wei Zhiping is further examining the actual performance of the players at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the players are also playing very hard.

By the time the basic training sessions and offensive and defensive tactical drills were completed, the one-and-a-half-hour training session was also coming to an end. Wei Zhiping took a note of the performance of the players in a small notebook very seriously, and obviously made more designs and adjustments after going back.

At the end of the training, everyone said goodbye to each other and left. When Xiao Yao changed his clothes and was about to go back, he was stopped by Guo Qi when he came out of the locker room.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao looked at Guo Qi with some strange eyes.

"Did you not do your best when you were training just now and deliberately stayed strong?" Guo Qi approached Xiao Yao and asked in a low voice.

"Are you saying that I wasn't serious when I trained?" Xiao Yao said funny, "How can I have it? Don't wronged me." ”

"Then why didn't you dunk when you practiced the layup just now?" Guo Qi said, "You were able to dunk when you were able to go head-to-head with Qiao Xun last summer, it can't be that you can't dunk this year, right?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "We practice layups, not dunks, I don't need to be in the limelight during training, right?"

"So you deliberately kept a low profile during training, holding back and waiting for the game to scare everyone?" Guo Qi said with a smile.

"Am I this kind of scheming boy?" Xiao Yao continued to smile bitterly.

"It doesn't matter if you're not," Guo Qi said, "but what I want to tell you is that the official game is different from one-on-one bullfighting, even if you get rid of the defense, someone on the inside may come to fill the position, not if you want to dunk it." ”

"If you can't dunk it, you won't dunk it," Xiao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not a slam dunk contest." ”

"But I'd like to see you dunk in the official game. Guo Qi said, "So I'm going to train with you! If you're okay, come with me now." ”

"Special training, the day after tomorrow will be the competition, how much can you make me improve?" Xiao Yao said puzzled.

"It's not about training you and letting you improve much, but about the two of us training together and practicing the cooperation of the two of us. Guo Qi said, "Brother is a point guard, passing is my specialty, and your bounce and power are also there." I'll pass you the ball, and you come to the air relay for a dunk. What Qiao Xun and you could do back then, it makes no sense that you and I can't do it. But this time it's not a TV, we can't try it over and over again, we have to practice well to ensure the success rate. Let's practice secretly, as our secret weapon, and when we show it off in the official competition, we are guaranteed to shock everyone's jaws!"

"If you are willing to fulfill me in this way, of course I can't ask for it. Xiao Yao nodded, and then said with some doubts, "But what are you trying to do?"

"What's the picture?" Guo Qi smiled, "I'm a professional player, dunks in games are common, and there's nothing new for everyone to look at." But you are different, there are relatively few cases of non-professional players dunking, not to mention that a star like you performs a dunk in this kind of official game, and it is also a dunk in the air relay? You are not a teammate of my club, if it really happens, I will be a passer, and it is also very face-saving to show off a superb passing level. ”

"Besides, the higher the level of basketball you show, the less face I will lose when it is revealed that you beat me in basketball in the future!" Guo Qi continued, "The amateur player I lost to in the case of handicap is a man who can perform an aerial relay dunk, and it sounds better to say." ”

The fact that Xiao Yao won Guo Qi back then did not spread to the media and the public, but as Xiao Yao's fame grew, and he participated in the charity basketball game this time, Guo Qi felt that most of the events of that year would be turned over by people or the media who were interested in Xiao Yao's basketball history after this game.

"I thought you thought I was scheming, but you are really scheming. Xiao Yao smiled, then nodded and said, "Okay, then let's practice a secret weapon!"
