The All-Star of the American Professional Basketball is the East-West confrontation, and the All-Star of the Chinese Professional Basketball is the North-South Confrontation. The Celebrity Game of the Chinese Professional Basketball also followed the rules of the All-Star Game, dividing the team into two teams, North and South. Although Xiao Yao's permanent residence is in Shencheng, located in the south of China, he was arranged in the Northern Celebrity Team according to his native Yanjing.

The players on both teams are stars, and even if they know each other, they haven't played together much. Basketball is a group event, even if it is an exhibition game of the nature of a celebrity game, players also need to pay attention to some tactics and cooperation, so before the game, the organizers also arranged training sessions for the two teams, so that they can get familiar with each other, develop tactics and cultivate a tacit understanding of cooperation.

In the training session, after the team members arrived, the first thing was naturally for everyone to take turns to introduce themselves and get to know each other.

In terms of the players, this year's inaugural All-Star Weekend Masters has some similarities and differences with the previous Charity Star Game and the Masters of the All-Star Weekend.

Celebrity games are mainly stars of non-professional basketball players, and they are mainly entertainment stars in the entertainment industry. In addition, this time there are also female players in both teams, and there will be a scene of male and female players competing on the field. The difference is that only two retired former professional players participated in the Masters Game of the All-Star Weekend, and there were no active professional players.

There is also a rookie game and an All-Star game two days after the All-Star Weekend, and there is no shortage of opportunities for star players to perform, so there is no need to join in the fun in the Masters game and compete with other stars for playing time, so it is understandable that there are no male professional players on the team. But not only is there no professional player in the list of players in the celebrity game, but there are no female professional players, and the female players on both sides are female stars of other professions, which makes people feel a little surprised. Keep in mind that the professional games during All-Star Weekend were all men's games, and there were no opportunities for women to perform.

Whatever the reason, the roster has been finalized and announced.

There are no active professional players, and the most professional players in the Masters are definitely the two former professional players. But when it comes to performance on the field, it's not necessarily these two that everyone is looking forward to the most.

These two retired former professional players are both Americans, and they spent the beginning and golden years of their careers in the American professional basketball team, and both were selected as All-Stars in the American professional basketball team, but they only switched to the Chinese professional basketball team at the end of their careers and retired from the Chinese professional basketball team. The fame and strength of these two former professional players have nothing to say, but they have been retired for a long time, and their bodies have been blessed. It's hard to say whether the technique has regressed, at least the physical fitness must have declined sharply.

Not to mention that professional players and non-professional players will most likely play "classic ball" when they play exhibition games together, even if they want to play seriously, this physical fitness estimate cannot be guaranteed.

Xiao Yao was only 20 years old when he participated in the Charity Star Game, and he won the MVP with a large triple-double, and later won the tied MVP with a triple-double at the Masters in the United States, and he was only 21 years old. Now Xiao Yao is twenty-three years old, even if the official height has not changed, but the period from the age of twenty to twenty-three is in the growth stage of physical fitness, and normally speaking, he should be more powerful than back then.

There are no active professional players, and the two former professional players are relatively old, after the list of the celebrity game was announced, both the media and netizens on the Internet focused on Xiao Yao, predicting that Xiao Yao would win the MVP of the celebrity game is the most. Even Xiao Yao's teammates have many people who think so.

"Xiao Yao, with you in our team, we will definitely win!Is the MVP of this competition also booked by you?" After everyone took turns to introduce themselves and get to know each other, a girl named Fang Qing asked Xiao Yao with a smile.

"It's just an exhibition match, the most important thing is for everyone to have fun!" Xiao Yao looked at the others and said with a smile, "Of course, since it's a competition, it's better to let it be." If you can get the best, it's nothing if you can't get it, it's more important for our team to win!"

"Cut~ It's not a reporter interview, do you want to say it so officially?" The girl named Fang Qing pursed her lips.

"Tell me about your goal, how many points are you going to score in this game?" another actor named Sheng Dongyuan asked Xiao Yaodao.

"Ten points!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"What, the goal is so low?" said several people in surprise.

Scoring 10 points in basketball is not a simple task, but it is for the average person. With the level that Xiao Yao has shown in several basketball games, this time the opponent does not have a professional player or other powerful role, and this goal is obviously lower than their psychological expectations.

"We didn't have any professional players in the team this time, so I asked to play the number one position when attacking. Xiao Yao said, "As a point guard, my goal is in assists, not in scoring. My goal is to set a new high in my exhibition career in assists this time, so I would like to ask for your help when the time comes. ”

Regarding the situation that the media and the Internet advocated before the game that he would definitely win the MVP of the Masters Game, Xiao Yao not only did not become complacent, but was a little worried.

MVP is based on on-court performance and statistics. If Xiao Yao performs better than others in the game, he really wins the MVP, and I believe no one will say anything. And it's just an exhibition game, and everyone is not a professional player, so they don't take this very seriously. But before the game started, everyone outside said that the MVP was Xiao Yao's bag, and almost ignored the other participating stars, which was not a good thing.

Xiao Yao has participated in two exhibition matches before, and the dazzling data is there. At least from the previous performance and superficial data, others are not qualified to call Xiao Yao. Even Zhuo Zhiyuan, who has always been a basketball master in the Southern Celebrity Team this time, said in a low-key interview with reporters that this time he was playing with a back injury, focusing on participation, and didn't care about MVP, and no one from other star players publicly said in front of the media that they wanted to compete with Xiao Yao for MVP, which is also the origin of this current trend of public opinion.

But no one openly says that it doesn't mean that others don't have ideas in their hearts. You must know that most of the star players selected by the organizers of this Chinese professional basketball All-Star Weekend will be able to play. This situation will inevitably cause some stars who think that their basketball level is good to be disgusted with Xiao Yao, and then deliberately target Xiao Yao in the game.

If it was the opponent's targeted defense, Xiao Yao was not afraid, but if his teammates also deliberately targeted him and didn't pass the ball to him, he couldn't help but care. Although Xiao Yao doesn't have to win this MVP, he can also grab rebounds and attack by himself, and he may not necessarily run the whole court empty and do nothing, but that kind of game can only show his failure and incompetence in handling interpersonal relationships, which is unacceptable to Xiao Yao.

Even if not all his teammates would deliberately target him, or only one or two would deliberately target him and not pass the ball to him, Xiao Yao didn't want that to happen, because that would mean that the atmosphere in the team would be problematic. There is a gap between some members of the team, which will also affect the combat effectiveness. Xiao Yao participated in this game to play, and he also wanted to win.

Coming forward to say in the media that he has no intention of MVP? is obviously a lie, if the MVP comes, Xiao Yao will definitely not refuse, such a statement will only appear hypocritical and hypocritical, Xiao Yao disdains to do this. He just needs to settle the relationship with his teammates.

For teammates, there is definitely no need to say anything like I don't fight for MVP, which also seems very fake. All he needs is to let everyone know that he doesn't plan to be in the limelight alone, and it is enough to hope that the whole team can shine on the field.

In the list of players of the Northern Celebrity Team this time, there are no teammates from Xiao Yao's last charity game, and there are no people who have worked with them at work, so there are no teammates who know Xiao Yao's character very well in private, and there is no one who helps Xiao Yao speak at the beginning. Xiao Yao didn't plan to say that he used the performance of multiple passes to show his attitude when he was preparing for training, but since someone brought up these topics, Xiao Yao made a verbal statement by the way.

The so-called assist is to pass the ball to a teammate to score. On the field, it is always the one who scores that is more in the limelight. Assists are a very important statistic, but they are still a bit worse than scoring. Xiao Yao scored fifteen assists in the Charity Star Game that year, and to set a new high, it is necessary to exceed this number, then he will pass the ball in the game no less.

When Xiao Yao said this, he meant that he would not play alone, but would make it a more important task to let his teammates score. When this sentence was spoken, Xiao Yao could also feel that everyone's smiles were much more sincere.

"Don't seek to score and pursue assists, you are really different from others!" Fang Qing said with a smile.

"But since we're on a team, we're all teammates, so we're going to do our best to help you achieve that. Sheng Dongyuan continued.

"yes!" the others laughed.

"Okay, now that we've set a goal, let's start training!" a middle-aged man clapped his hands and said, "Even though it's an exhibition match, we also want to win!"

This middle-aged man's name is Yi Yang, a well-known basketball commentator, and the deputy editor-in-chief and director of the basketball department of a print media in China. Although he has never been a professional player or coach, he is also a basketball professional. In this Masters game, he will be the head coach of the Northern Celebrity Team.

"Okay!" the players agreed in unison when they saw the coach speak.

"First of all, I need to understand where you are good at playing. Yi Yang said.

"You just said it, I've watched your two games and know how to use you, so you don't need to say any more. Yi Yang looked at Xiao Yao and said.

Xiao Yao nodded.

"Now the rest of us will take turns to say it, and I'll make some adjustments according to the actual situation. Yi Yang looked at the others, "Who will come first?"

"Me!" Sheng Dongyuan said first, "I think I can play as a shooting guard, or as a small forward." ”

"Got it," Yi Yang took the note and nodded, "Your height is okay, I'll see after practicing later, the next one!"

"I don't know what position I'm suitable for playing," Fang Qing said, "I'm a girl, my height and weight can't be compared with their boys, I definitely can't get into the inside, just look for opportunities to shoot outside!"

"This is not necessarily!" Yi Yang glanced at Xiao Yao, and the other party said, "Have you watched the celebrity game of the American Professional Basketball All-Star Weekend the year before last? That girl is about the same size as you, she's a streamer, not a professional player. She scored more than 20 points in that game, and many of the balls were assisted by Xiao Yao. You can look at that game, and if you have the chance, you can go inside, especially on the fast break. ”

"Really?" Fang Qing looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Then can you also let me score more than 20 points?" No, I don't want to get any tied MVP, as long as I can get ten points and score to double digits, I will be very content!"

"It's up to you to shoot accurately, to be aware of your positioning, to be moving. Xiao Yao said, "As long as you run to the right position and I see it again, I will definitely pass the ball to you in time!" I said, I prefer passing assists to scoring points. ”

"Speaking of which," Yi Yang smiled at Xiao Yao, "I remember the charity basketball game in Huaxia three years ago, you didn't score a point in the first quarter, but you gave five assists, or gave different teammates, it seems that you really like assists!"

Yi Yang saw that Xiao Yao had repeatedly mentioned this, and probably guessed Xiao Yao's thoughts, so he helped to order. Even if he doesn't know the specific basketball level of these people, Yi Yang feels that except for the former professional player, there should be no one among these people whose basketball strength can surpass Xiao Yao's. And Xiao Yao is not only a scorer, but also a team organizer who helps his teammates score. If you want to win the game, a player like Xiao Yao will naturally be the core of the team. Xiao Yao was afraid that there would be a gap between his teammates and him, and of course he, the head coach, would have to help.

"It seems to be!" Yi Yang said, and some of the others also remembered this stubble.

Although Xiao Yao has a strong scoring ability, and is even a rare person who can dunk among entertainment star amateur players, he showed his basketball skills in open games, starting with passing assists.

"Okay! Continue to the next one!" Yi Yang nodded and didn't say anything more, and continued to ask about the next person.

"Xiao Yao said just now that he wants to play the No. 1 position, and I agree with this, but only when attacking. With his height, he has to go inside most of the time when defending. After all the players finished speaking, Yi Yang announced, "When Xiao Yao is on the field, Xiao Yao holds the ball when attacking, distributes the ball, and uses him as the core of the attack." Pay attention to the distribution of the ball, not let him play alone! When defending, Xiao Yao stands under the basket to direct the defense, and also takes him as the core of the defense. ”./3_3635/
