Chapter 591: Response

"Aren't the guests on your show all professional players and basketball stars?" Xiao Yao asked Rita Mitchell with a smile.

"It's not all true, my show will also have some famous amateur players as guests. Rita Mitchell laughed, "But my show has not invited non-American amateur players, let alone Chinese celebrities as guests." If you can come, you will be the first!"

Xiao Yao thought about it for a while before saying: "I'm interested, but I'm not sure how long I will stay in the United States, whether the time allows, let's discuss it after the competition!"

"Okay, then after the game is over, I and the people in the program team will contact your team again. Rita Mitchell smiled and raised her arm. This time she didn't reach out again, but clenched her fists.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao stretched out his fist and touched her.

After the substitution, Zhuo Zhiyuan's second free throw was not scored. There was a scramble between players from both sides of the basket, but neither of them won the rebound. In the process of scrambling, the basketball was touched by Ben Schull of the Eastern Celebrities.

Although Xiao Yao didn't score a point, his performance of four assists, two rebounds and one block in the first half quarter is undoubtedly the brightest one among all the players who have played so far. Taking advantage of the gap between the Western Celebrities team's throw-in, the on-site director cut the big screen and broadcast to Xiao Yao, who had just returned to the bench for the Eastern Celebrities.

The camera passed, and it happened to be Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell on the bench, chatting very happily. Seeing this scene, some drum noises also sounded in the audience.

"Xiao Yao on the bench is chatting with the goddess Rita," Li Jun on the commentary bench looked at Xiao Yao in the broadcast screen and said with a smile, "It seems that Xiao Yao has a good relationship with his teammates!"

"He can play anywhere!" Zhang Yuan also smiled.

Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell heard the sound of the scene, and looked up to find that the two of them appeared on the big screen at the scene. Both of them are people with a strong sense of camera, and they instantly judged the direction of the camera lens, and both smiled and waved to the camera.

Seeing the same expressions and movements of the two, and even the frequency of waving their hands, the audience shouted a little louder.

"Wow!, God is synchronized!" Li Jun in the commentary seat smiled.

On the court, the Western Celebrities sent a throw-in, and the camera cut back to the court, and everyone returned to the court.

After changing to a wave of new forces, the pace of the game became a lot faster. A minute later, both teams took advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to substitute the only former pro player off the pitch and field an all-amateur line-up. Without a dedicated playmaker, the amateur players of both teams played a little messily, but it looked very lively, and the only drawback was that the scoring rate of both teams was not very high.

In the second half of the game, the professional players of the two teams and Xiao Yao were not substituted again. In the end, the two teams ended the first quarter with a four-point lead at 17-13 and the Eastern Celebrities.

After a three-minute break, the second quarter began.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell re-entered. Although they appeared on the big screen in the middle of the first quarter, the two of them were not the two of them who stood out the most eye-catching players in the second quarter.

The Eastern Celebrity Team sent out Mark Doom, the oldest of all the team members, who is nearly sixty years old. The Western Legends fielded the youngest player in the game, 12-year-old Brandon Brown. The old, the young and the young, are the most conspicuous of all the players. In addition, the assistant coaches of both sides and two male tall professional players have personally put on the field.

Since it was the Western Celebrities who got the ball in the opening jump shot, the second and third quarters were both teed off by the Eastern Celebrities.

Joey Bielsa took the basketball from the referee and threw it to Xiao Yao, and then ran to the bottom line of the opponent's half, without the slightest intention of receiving Xiao Yao's ball control organization.

"Little friend, with your height and weight, you should go to Mark Doom from your grandfather's generation, what is it to prevent me?" Xiao Yao complained in his heart.

It turned out that when Xiao Yao took the ball to the top of the arc outside the three-point line in the opponent's half, he helplessly found that the opponent's defense was actually the opponent's twelve-year-old, about 1.5 meters tall, known as the "hip-hop genius boy" in the United States, but looked a little skinny, Brandon Brown, and couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.

However, Xiao Yao also knows that Brandon Brown's small body can only interfere with the outside organizational guards, not to mention letting him go to the inside defense, even to defend the bottom corner and the forwards and scoring guards on both sides, it is not much effect.

If it comes, it will be safe. Looking at this "little dot" in front of him, Xiao Yao also had some thoughts of playing. With his right hand raised, Xiao Yao slapped the basketball behind Brandon Brown, who had a serious face, and picked up the bounced basketball with his left hand.

Brandon Brown noticed the movement behind him, and saw Xiao Yao withdraw the basketball with his left hand, stretching out his right hand to try to break the basketball in Xiao Yao's hand.

Xiao Yao saw that Brandon Brown actually tried to break the ball, and quickly retracted his left hand. Taking advantage of the fact that many players on the court were attracted by his "teasing" Brandon Brown, Xiao Yao swung his left hand back sharply and passed the basketball from behind him to Will Foster on his right.

From beyond the three-point line, Will Foster made a shot that caused the opposing player to jump up, but he lowered his arm and dribbled the basketball to his left before he could shoot in a timely manner.

Will Foster's basketball shot didn't fall into the hoop, but bounced off the rim.

The basket players of the Western Celebrities grabbed the backcourt rebounds, but saw that the Eastern Celebrities players had actively returned to the defense, and did not launch a fast break, but gave the basketball to the youngest player in the game.

The two tallest players on the Eastern Celebrity team are Joey Bisalt and Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao has no interest in going toe-to-toe with a kid, and retreats to the basket with Joey Bisal.

"Boss!" Xiao Yao saw that the opponent was actually Brandon Brown advancing with the ball in the process of retreating, and also reminded Mark Doom next to him loudly.

Mark Dummden realized and stepped forward to force Brandon Brown, and the scene of the oldest player facing the youngest player defending the game was formed. The other players on the field also opened up the space on the field very tacitly, leaving a one-on-one opportunity for the two.

Brandon Brown faced the defense of his grandfather's Mark Doom, first dribbling under his crotch to shake off Mark Doom's center of gravity, and then broke through his left hand. Although Mark Doom was shaken half a step behind, the huge advantage in size allowed him to quickly rely on Brandon Brown in the breakthrough process. Brandon Brown felt that the breakthrough was blocked, and immediately there was another abrupt stop. Mark Doom took advantage of Brandon Brown's sudden stop and immediately reached for the ball, only to hit Brandon Brown's arm.

"Di~" The referee's whistle blew and a foul on Mark Doom was blown.

Because Brandon Brown didn't shoot, the second quarter just started, and the number of fouls by the Eastern Celebrities hadn't yet arrived, and this time the foul didn't make a free throw, but the Western Celebrities served the sideline.

Carmon Blunt, who served the West Celebrities on the sideline, still gave the ball to Brandon Brown, and Mark Doom immediately pressed it again.

This time, the Western Celebrity players didn't let Brandon Brown single Mark Doom again, and a Western Celebrity player named Jesse Campbuur stepped forward to make a one-off for Brandon Brown.

With his players covered, Brandon Brown managed to break through Mark Doom's defense and dribble to the basket of the Eastern Celebrities. Under the basket, Joey Bilsa and Xiao Yao both turned to face Brandon Brown's rushing direction, but neither stepped forward to block. Joy Bilsa just looked at Brandon Brown and smiled, and Xiao Yao just raised his arms in place and said something.

Seeing that there were two big tall men in front of him, Brandon Brown didn't go to the basket with the ball, stopped near the three-second line, and threw the basketball.

Don't look at Brandon Brown's young age and not very tall, but the fundamentals of basketball are really good. Although it was a two-handed shot, this shot that was almost a mid-range position actually came into the frame.

“yeah~”

Seeing the youngest "kid" Brandon Brown score, the Western Celebrities bench and the live audience burst into cheers.

In the cheers of the audience, Xiao Yao turned around and caught the basketball that fell from the basket, stepped on the bottom line, lifted it with one foot, raised his arm and threw the basketball to the opponent's half, and directly launched a fast attack.

The most active player in the Eastern Celebrity's fast break was Rita Mitchell on the outside, who received the basketball thrown by Xiao Yao near the halfway line and rushed all the way to the Western Celebrity's basket.

Rita Mitchell rushed into the three-second zone and started with the ball and prepared for a three-step layup, but as soon as the basketball was shot, she was slapped out with a big hat by Zack Haywood, a member of the Western Celebrity Team who caught up from behind.

After the block, Zach Heywood and Rita Mitchell made physical contact. Rita Mitchell, who is less than 1.7 meters tall and weighs just over 100 pounds, was touched by Zach Heywood and immediately lost her balance, but fortunately, Zach Heywood reacted quickly and immediately reached out to hug Rita Mitchell and did not let her fall.

"o~" such a cap also made the audience at the scene exclaim.

The Eastern Celebrity Team opened the throw-in, and Joey Bilsa, who was standing outside the baseline, threw the basketball to Xiao Yao at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. Xiao Yao took a step back after receiving the ball, and suddenly bowed and slapped the basketball between the legs of Brandon Brown in front of him, quickly bypassed Brandon Brown from the side, and after receiving the bounced basketball, he dribbled the ball to the inside.

The two defenders under the Western Celebrity basket saw Xiao Yao pass Brandon Brown through the crotch, and after entering the three-second zone, they started with the ball and immediately raised their hands to block. Xiao Yao, who was in the air, faced the four raised arms, and he didn't do anything brutally, raised the right hand of the basketball and handed the basketball to his left hand, and then threw the basketball from the back of his head to his right side with his left hand. In the middle distance position on Xiao Yao's right side, "Boss" Mark Doom received the basketball from Xiao Yao and immediately shot.

"Ah~"

To say that the player with the largest number of relatives and friends this time is undoubtedly the "boss" Mark Doom, three generations of his family have come to the scene, and the number has almost reached double digits, all concentrated on the technical table on the sidelines and a row behind the rostrum. Seeing the "boss" shoot the basketball, more than a dozen people behind the technical table on the sidelines screamed loudly, causing the people on the technical table and the commentary seat in front of them to unconsciously shrink their necks.

Amid the screams of the "boss's" group of relatives and friends, the basketball landed accurately in the hoop. The "boss" scored two points, and Xiao Yao also added an assist to his stats.

Switching offense and defense, the Western Celebrities still handed the basketball to Brandon Brown after the Western Celebrities opened the baseline ball. In the face of Mark Doom's defense, Brandon Brown did not choose to break through this time, but handed the basketball to his teammate Anthony Morrell in the baseline position.

Anthony Morrell received the ball and broke through to the basket, Xiao Yao under the basket immediately came out, and Mark Doom on one side also let go of Brandon Brown and turned to help defend. Caught between the two, Anthony Morrell threw the ball to the outside and passed it back to Brandon Brown.

After Brandon Brown received the ball, he immediately took a shot, and several people on the bench of the Western Celebrities stood up with their arms raised, ready to cheer for Brandon Brown.

"O~" As a result, before the cheers could be released, they turned into a burst of exclamations, because Brandon Brown's long-range throw was solidly covered.

When Anthony Morrell passed the basketball to the outside, Xiao Yao, who was originally standing on the three-second line to defend, squeezed away Anthony Morrell and Mark Doom and pounced with the basketball. When Brandon Brown took a shot, Xiao Yao, who was more than two steps away from Brandon Brown, raised his arms and jumped hard.

Because of his height, Brandon Brown's shot point is relatively low, and when the basketball flies above Xiao Yao's head, the height of the basketball in the rising stage has not yet crossed Xiao Yao's raised palm.

"Fuck your basketball dreams!"

Xiao Yao, who was jumping with all his might, shouted in his heart, waved his palm out without hesitation, and slapped the basketball in the air to the audience.

After landing, in the face of the somewhat confused children, Xiao Yao smiled and helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

"Huh~" After exclaiming, there were some sporadic boos at the scene.

"Young, didn't you say that you had to stay in the first half, why did you fight so hard?" Joey Bilsa walked over and patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder with a smile.

"Itchy hands for a while, I can't help it!" Xiao Yao turned his head and smiled.

"Young, how do you bully children?" Will Foster also walked over and patted Xiao Yao, laughing and teasing.

"They can cover girls, why can't I cover children?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "I thought you were all very serious and strict in the competition!"

"Hey, Zach!" Will Foster smiled and turned his head to wave at Zach Haywood, "Did you hear that?" Young was a response to your Gailita, and it was your fault!"

"What?" exclaimed Zach Haywood, with his arms outstretched in an exaggerated manner.
