Chapter 589: Block

β€œYeah~”

β€œRita!”

Seeing that the only player on both teams who can be called a goddess opened the scoring for the Eastern Celebrities and was the first player to score on the field, there was a huge cheer and shout from the stands.

"Jan, pass it beautifully!"

Sitting near the halfway line, Dean and George, who were in the second row behind the technical desk, couldn't help but stand up and cheer. It's just that in the shouts of "Rita", their voices are almost inaudible.

"Beautiful shot!" Xiao Yao, who stayed under the opponent's basket on the court and was about to compete for a rebound in the gap between the three, saw Rita's three-point shot, and also smiled and retreated, while stretching out his left hand and giving Rita a thumbs up.

"Thank you, you passed it well!" Rita, who also turned around and ran back, did not return all the way along the sideline, but ran to Xiao Yao's position in the middle, smiled and reached out to high-five him.

Looking at the interaction between the two, Zhou Zhihao, who was watching the game from the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh and said: "As soon as I came up, I was interacting with the goddess, this kid Bayi did it on purpose!"

"Go, Xiao Yao is going to attack quickly with the ball, only the follow-up of that goddess is in place, who will Bayi pass it on to her?" Zhao Rui glanced at Zhou Zhihao and said, "The first goal in the opening game, Bayi will definitely not face three people to do it!" As he spoke, Zhao Rui quietly turned his head and glanced at Sun Tingting next to him, and found that she was just smiling and looking at Xiao Yao on the field, neither speaking nor changing any expression.

"I told them in the training session that Young had to actively follow up when he was on the fast break with the ball, but it turned out that Rita was the only one who responded. Joey Bielsa, who was on the bench, said to Rachel Blunt, the beautiful head coach next to him, a little helplessly.

"I didn't expect Jan to be so good at passing the ball in official matches. Rachel Blunt was also a little surprised by Xiao Yao's pass, but she was not much surprised by the performance of other players on the field, and said with a smile, "These big stars are here to play, even Kevin and Abber are also here to play, and the tactical execution must be poor, and after playing for a while, if you don't score, you will naturally be positive." ”

On the court, one of the Western Celebrities who stepped back to the basket picked up the basketball that had fallen from the hoop, stepped back to the bottom line to tee off, and passed the ball to Robert Foden, who returned to his own half. By this time, Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell had already retreated to their own half, and Robert Foden did not launch a fast attack, but slowly dribbled to the opponent's half.

Robert Foden stopped on the dribble outside the three-point line, and Scott Carr, an amateur player on the Western Celebrity, mentioned that he played a one-way match with Robert Foden on the outside. The defenders had no choice but to switch positions, and Robert took advantage of the gap to get rid of Kevin Donovan and dribble to the basket.

At this time, the first height of the players on the court of both teams is their respective women's basketball professional players, and both of them play centers and occupy the position under the inside basket.

Robert Foden's impact on the basket forced Eastern Celebrity interior defender Abbey Lawrence to step up and make up for it, and Robert Foden took the opportunity to pass to Carmel Norton on the inside. Carmel Norton received the ball and Jason Danfol, who was defending Scott Karl, immediately pounced. Carmel Norton was embarrassed to play the middle-aged actor under the basket and passed the ball to Scott Carr, who was let go by Jason Danfur in the middle.

Scott Carr was at the free-throw line when he received the ball, and he didn't hesitate to jump up and shoot from mid-range, and the basketball went into the frame.

Offense and defense switched, and the Eastern Celebrities kicked off the baseline.

The Eastern Conference Celebrity is also driven by the team's former professional Kevin Donovan. After Kevin Donovan took the ball across the halfcourt, he did not organize an attack, but handed the ball to Xiao Yao, who was still one step outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, and then trotted to the bottom line. After Xiao Yao received the ball, he did not rush to pass and break through, but slowly dribbled to near the top corner outside the three-point line, observing the situation on the court while dribbling.

"Yo, it seems that the Eastern Army is planning to let Xiao Yao organize the attack!" Li Jun in the commentary seat saw the arrangement of the Eastern Celebrity Team, and said with some surprise.

"Actually, it's not surprising," Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "The stars on the field are all good at playing, but they must play more half-time, and most of them are a little uncomfortable to switch to this kind of five-on-five full-game at once." At this time, if there is a good defender who can pass the ball to lead the belt, the effect will be much better. Although Donovan also played the point guard position before retiring, it was basically to see him dribble well, let him transition and bring the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. What he's best at is breaking through and shooting is okay, but organizing offense isn't his forte. ”

"Yes," Li Jun also reacted, and continued, "In the charity game that year, Guo Qi played point guard at the beginning, and after Guo Qi got off the court, Xiao Yao took over the position of point guard, and even later when Guo Qi went up again, it was still Xiao Yao who controlled the ball and organized the attack. Not to mention other aspects, Guo Qi, an organizational defender, is definitely stronger than Donovan in terms of organization and offense, Xiao Yao can even top Guo Qi's position, and it will definitely not be a problem to replace Donovan in the organization at this time. ”

Xiao Yao, who was on the court, observed for two seconds, and suddenly activated, dribbling towards his right hand. The star of the Western Celebrity Team who defended Xiao Yao was called Quincy Beasley, a black actor, about 1.85 meters tall, 26 or 7 years old, and his reaction was not slow, and he immediately followed Xiao Yao to retreat.

Xiao Yao did not rush to the basket in a straight line, but took a step along the right side and came to a position close to the bottom line. Scott Carr, who was defending Jason Danfur in the bottom corner, immediately stepped in and joined Quincy Beasley in front of Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao, who faced the defense of the two, did not rush in, and immediately jumped up with the ball and made a shooting move. Quincy Beasley and Scott Carr didn't dare to slack off, and both threw up their arms and jumped up in an attempt to block Xiao Yao's shot.

Xiao Yao, who was holding the basketball in the air, did not shoot, but flicked his left hand, which was originally holding the left side of the basketball, and the basketball flew to his right back.

Jason Danfol, who was standing outside the three-point line in the bottom corner of the right corner, happened to receive a basketball from Xiao Yao. The three people one step in front of him were all jumping in the air, and Jason Danford saw that there was no one in front of him, and immediately jumped up to shoot a three-point shot.

Unfortunately, Jason Danfol, who shot from the open three-point position, didn't make a shot, and the basketball smashed into the hoop and bounced out. After landing, Xiao Yao saw the landing point and immediately ran to the three-second zone, jumping up to grab the rebound.

Carmel Norton, the interior mainstay of the Eastern Conference Celebrity Team, didn't have much effort to keep Abbey Lawrence out of the way and jumped up with his arms raised. Carmel thought that he could easily win this rebound, but he didn't expect that an arm suddenly stretched out next to him and grabbed the basketball in his hand.

Carmel Norton jumped on the spot, and the man next to him jumped, although the two did not make physical contact in the air, but when they landed, they collided together. Carmel Norton was relaxed because of her relaxed mentality, and she didn't tense up when she jumped, and her whole muscles were relaxed, but when she landed, she was nearly two meters tall and was hit by the man.

Carmel Norton turned his head in surprise and found that the person who snatched the rebound from his hand and hit himself was the Chinese star who assisted Rita Mitchell.

Xiao Yao, who landed on the ground, didn't care about Carmel Norton, who was hit by himself, and immediately lifted the basketball in his hand. Scott Carr, who followed Xiao Yao to the inside, immediately raised his arms again and jumped up, blocking Xiao Yao's shooting route. Xiao Yao just lifted the basketball, and didn't jump at all. Looking at Scott Carr flying in front of him, Xiao Yao put down the hand holding the basketball, and then threw the basketball behind him from his waist.

Behind Xiao Yao was Abbey Lawrence, who was blocked by Carmel Norton when grabbing a rebound, and she was standing in a reasonable collision zone under the basket, a stone's throw away from the basket.

These professional players all come with the mentality of playing "healthy" ball, "master" ball, and Abbey Lawrence and Carmel Norton are basically the defenders, who stand first in position, who is closer to the basket, and does not force under the basket.

However, if there is a good scoring opportunity, they will not let it go easily. At such a close distance from the basket, Carmel Norton, who defended Abbie Lawrence, was separated by Xiao Yao, and no one could stop her from scoring. Abbey Lawrence raised his hand and tossed the basketball, which fell into the hoop without suspense, and easily scored two points.

"Well done!" After scoring, Abbey Lawrence put his left hand around Xiao Yao from behind, smiled and rubbed his hair with his right hand.

Abbey Lawrence is nearly two meters tall, nearly half a head taller than Xiao Yao, and has long hands and feet. When she casually hugged Xiao Yao from behind, when her chest had no contact with Xiao Yao's back, her left hand was already on Xiao Yao's right shoulder, almost wrapping him up. Before Xiao Yao could make a gesture of refusal, Abbie Lawrence's right hand was already on his head.

Thinking that Abbie Lawrence, an American girl who is nearly thirty years old, is seven or eight years older than herself, this gesture is just to express gratitude and closeness, Xiao Yao didn't care much, just rolled his eyes helplessly.

Over there, the Western Celebrities kicked off quickly, and Robert Foden took the ball and turned to push into the opposing half. Just after dribbling two steps, Robert Foden suddenly threw the ball into the opposition half of the pitch with a long ball. At this time, half of the people on the court had not yet reached the half of the Eastern Celebrities, but Scott Carr had quietly slipped to the bottom right corner of the Eastern Celebrities, and Robert's ball was passed to him. When Scott Carr received the ball, the two fastest players of the Eastern Celebrity Team were standing under the basket, and Scott Carr was completely unguarded.

Faced with a large gap of three or four meters in front of him, Scott Carr did not shoot directly for three points, but dribbled and took a step inside, and steadily shot a mid-to-long-range two-point shot.

Before he could go back, he was scored by the other party, and Xiao Yao didn't bother to run back, so he stayed in the opponent's half and waited for his teammates to come over.

After Kevin Donovan dribbled to the Western Celebrity Half Court, he was about to hand the ball to Xiao Yao, but Jason Danfol, who was supposed to be standing in the bottom corner of the right side, stopped outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and raised his hand to Kevin Donovan for the ball.

Scott Karl's opposing defender was Jason Danforth, and that shot should have been considered a leak from Jason Danfol. Kevin Donovan felt that Uncle Actor should want to make amends or respond, so he passed the ball to Jason Danfol.

Xiao Yao also guessed that Jason Danfur had similar thoughts, so he didn't go to Jason Danford again to ask for the ball, but took the initiative to get close to Jason Danfol and made a single block for him to help him create offensive opportunities.

Jason Danford saw Xiao Yao coming up to cover, and did not hesitate, dribbling to Xiao Yao's side with the ball, and jumped up to shoot a three-point shot. At this time, the two defenders in front of Jason Danford were pinned down by Xiao Yao and could not make effective defensive moves against him, but unfortunately Jason Danfol did not make this three-point shot and bounced out of the basket.

At this time, Shaw was far away from the three-point line, and there were two opposing players next to him who had physical contact with him, and he couldn't rush inside to grab the rebound when Jason Danford made a shot, which was grabbed by Bill Justin under the basket of the Western Celebrities.

After Bill Justin grabbed the rebound, he immediately dribbled to the opposing half of the court and launched a fast attack.

At this time, Xiao Yao had already escaped from the sandwich of Scott Carr and Quincy Beasley, and saw Bill Justin dribbling the ball quickly, and immediately quickly returned to his own half.

The two tall women were under the basket, far away, and did not run back, Jason Danfur was old and did not rush back, but the two professional male players were more active, but they bumped into each other when they ran back, affecting each other's speed, and they simply did not run.

Two seconds later, the situation of this fast break was obvious. On the Western Celebrity side, Bill Justin, Scott Carr and Quincy Beasley played a fast attack, while on the Eastern Celebrity team's side, only Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell, who followed Bill Justin, returned to their own half-court defense, forming a three-on-two situation.

The fastest of the five were Xiao Yao and Quincy Beasley, who rushed directly to the basket. Bill Justin's air run speed was definitely faster than Rita Mitchell, but because of the ball, he was slowly chased by Rita Mitchell, and the unguarded Scott Carr did not rush to the basket, but stood in the top corner of the three-second zone on the left side, forming a triangle with the other two players.

Bill Justin paused slightly as he rushed to the right three-point line, and took advantage of the gap when Rita Mitchell, who was following him all the way back, to stop and suddenly accelerate, shake off Rita Mitchell's defense, and rush to the basket.

Rita Mitchell turned around, and was about to chase after him, but saw Xiao Yao stretch out his right hand and point to the right. Rita Mitchell understood, and instead of chasing after Bill Justin, she turned and ran in front of Scott Carr, blocking Bill Justin's pass to Scott Carr.

Bill Justin passed the ball to the three-second zone, and Xiao Yao immediately took a step forward and raised his arm to meet it. In the face of the Chinese star who is more than ten centimeters taller than himself and has shown good jumping ability, Bill Justin did not choose to do it brutally, but after taking a step with the ball, he stretched out his left hand and passed the basketball from the opponent's armpit to Quincy Beasley under the basket.

Bill Justin's pass wasn't particularly well placed, slightly farther away from Quincy Beasley's body. Quincy Beasley stretched out her right hand to catch the basketball he was passing. Immediately after receiving the ball, Quincy Beasley took his right hand back and brought the basketball to his left hand, while leaning slightly sideways to shoot under the basket with his left hand.

When Xiao Yao defended Bill Justin, he just raised his arms and didn't jump at all. After Bill Justin passed, Xiao Yao's raised arm did not let go and immediately turned around. Seeing Quincy Beasley ready to shoot, Xiao Yao's left foot immediately took a step, and then the whole person jumped.

Quincy Beasley catches, sideways, jumps, and shoots very consistently, but it is this consistency that leaves him with no room to maneuver. As soon as the basketball in his left hand was shot, a palm appeared above the basketball and fanned the basketball flying in the air. Then, a body crashed over and knocked him off while he was in the air.

"o~" The audience at the scene let out a loud exclamation.

It turned out that Xiao Yao's block was full of momentum, and the strength in his hand was also great, and the basketball was directly fanned out of the sideline and fell to the audience.
