Entertaining Children

At the beginning of the third quarter, Xiao Yao was arranged to play by the coaching staff again.

When the players from both sides came on the field, the audience discovered that Xiao Yao, who had performed during the intermission, had changed back to his jersey and shoes at some point, and quietly returned to the bench of the Eastern Celebrities. Seeing Xiao Yao's appearance, the audience cheered resoundingly.

The Eastern Celebrities fell behind at halftime, and they also had a relatively strong lineup at the beginning of the second half. The big man Ben Scull, the fast Will Foster, Rita Mitchell, Xiao Yao, who had a good touch in the first half, and assistant coach Joey Bielsa.

The Western Conference Celebrities lineup is also good. Among the former professional players was Robert Foden, who played as a defender, and the four non-professional players were Quincy Beasley, Scott Carr, Bill Justin and Zhuo Zhiyuan.

The third quarter is still kicked off by the Eastern Celebrities. Joey Bielsa stood outside the sideline and passed the ball to Xiao Yao, then quickly ran to the opponent's half, and let Xiao Yao come to organize the attack with the ball.

After Xiao Yao received the ball, the Western Celebrities had a player close to the defense. The opponent defending Xiao Yao was actually a former professional player and a real defender Robert Foden.

After bringing the ball to the top of the arc outside the three-point line in the opponent's half, Xiao Yao did not forcefully hit the former professional player in front of him. Seeing that Ben Scull under the basket pressed Zhuo Zhiyuan behind him and occupied a more favorable position, he passed a lob and gave the basketball to Ben Scull on the inside.

After receiving the ball, Ben Skool leaned back hard with his upper body, and then turned directly under the basket to shoot. This time Zhuo Zhiyuan's defense was very tough, he raised his left arm to protect his chest to resist, raised his right hand and jumped up.

Zhuo Zhiyuan's attack did not block Ben Skool, but it also interfered with him. Ben Scull's shot didn't even touch the rim, and fell directly to the other side of the rim.

"Good shot! Zhuo Zhiyuan defended the ball well. He successfully interfered with Ben Skool's shot and blocked the ball." Li Jun, who was on the commentary stand, shouted.

"Maybe I don't want to see Xiao Yao play alone. I think Zhuo Zhiyuan played stronger in the second half than in the first half." Zhang Yuan commented.

Regardless of whether the two Chinese commentators knew that Zhuo Zhiyuan did not make a big deal about his nationality, at least Zhuo Zhiyuan was Chinese and developed in China. Of course, they hoped that the two stars from China would have wonderful performances.

Scott Carr on the sideline quickly retracted, caught the falling basketball, and then swung his arm to throw the basketball towards the opponent's half.

Robert Foden, who was on the outermost line, took a look,

Immediately start to rush towards the opponent's half court, ready to catch the ball to complete this fast break.

Robert Foden, who ran two steps away, glanced back, ready to adjust his route to catch the ball, but saw a figure jumping in the air behind him, intercepting Scott Carr's fast break pass.

"Xiao Yao blocked Scott Carl's fast break pass!" Li Jun shouted from the commentary booth.

The one who intercepted the long pass was exactly Xiao Yao who was facing Robert Foden and running back after Robert Foden.

"Xiao Yao got another steal." Zhang Yuan laughed.

The place where Xiao Yao steals the ball is already in his own half. After landing, Xiao Yao didn't dribble again, but directly passed the ball to Joey Bielsa who was outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

Such a quick transfer of possession also caused the formations of both sides on the court to disperse a little. After Joey Bielsa received the ball, he immediately raised his arms and made a gesture of shooting. Quincy Beasley, who was defending Joey Bielsa, was a little far away from Joey Bielsa. At this moment, he raised his arms and jumped towards Joey Bielsa regardless.

Seeing Quincy Beasley pounce, Joey Bielsa immediately put his arm down again. After shaking Quincy Beasley away completely, Joey Bielsa slapped the basketball on the floor and walked inside.

Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was on the inside line, originally turned around and sprinted to meet his teammate's fast break, but he found that his teammate's pass was intercepted by Xiao Yao just after taking a step. At this time, he was no longer under the basket and rushed to the edge of the three-second zone. Seeing Joey Bielsa swaying away from Quincy Beasley and breaking through inside, Zhuo Zhiyuan immediately made up for it. Scott Carr went nearby to defend Ben Skool under the basket.

Seeing Zhuo Zhiyuan standing in front of him, Joey Bielsa didn't speed up his breakthrough. Instead, he turned around and dribbled the ball with his back to Zhuo Zhiyuan.

When Zhuo Zhiyuan was considering whether Joey Bielsa was going to attack with his back, he saw Joey Bielsa who was dribbling the ball suddenly flicked the basketball to his left side.

After Xiao Yao passed the ball, he immediately ran to the opponent's half. When he ran to the top of the arc, Joey Bielsa had already passed Quincy Beasley, so he slowed down slightly, and when he saw Joey Bielsa stopped facing Zhuo Zhiyuan , and immediately accelerated to start, rushing towards the opponent's basket. As soon as Xiao Yao moved, Joey Bielsa passed the ball. Joey Bielsa passed the basketball to his left, and it happened to fall into the hands of Xiao Yao who cut to the opponent's basket from the front.

At this moment, Quincy Beasley had just turned around to defend Joey Bielsa. Robert Foden was still behind Xiao Yao. There was no one in front of Xiao Yao for the time being. After receiving the ball, he started off. But this time Xiao Yao didn't use his strength to jump up and dunk, but jumped up lightly, and sent the basketball into the basket steadily in the way of layup.

"Good shot!" On the way back to defense, Joey Bielsa smiled and extended his palm to Xiao Yao, "But I thought you would make another dunk!"

"Dunking is exhausting!" Xiao Yao clapped hands with Joey Bielsa, smiled and shook his head.

"You~" Joey Bielsa rolled his eyes helplessly.

Offensive and defensive transitions, the Western Celebrities took the ball past halftime by Robert Foden. In the first half, Xiao Yao always played point guard when attacking and forward when defending. Haruka took the initiative to change positions with Will Foster, and took the initiative to face Robert Foden, who was marking the opponent.

Facing Xiao Yao's defense, Robert Foden paused for a while at the top of the arc, then suddenly sped up and started, without even making a fake move, and directly forced his way.

Robert Foden has only been retired for about two years, and his body and condition are still in good condition. But after all, he is a former professional player who has retired, and his abilities in all aspects are still incomparable with those at the peak of his career. Although Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed by Robert Foden's sudden suddenness, he adjusted in time, at least he didn't lose his position, and barely followed Robert Foden.

Robert Foden saw that he hadn't completely thrown off Xiao Yao, and there was still the opponent's inside defense under the basket, so he didn't make a strong attack. After attracting Will Foster on his side to move his feet to prepare for defense, he broke through. In the process, he threw the basketball to Scott Carr who was emptied outside.

Scott Carl, who was outside the three-point line, adjusted a little after receiving the ball, and jumped up to make a three-point shot.

Scott Carr's three-pointer missed, and the basketball bounced off the edge of the basket. The basketball bounced a little far away, out of the control range of Ben Scull and Zhuo Zhiyuan under the basket, and fell to the outside of the three-second zone on the right. This place happened to be under the control of Xiao Yao and Robert Foden. Xiao Yao quickly jumped up and grabbed the rebound before Robert Foden.

Seeing Xiao Yao grab the rebound, Rita Mitchell, who was the most active in fast breaks up and down the court, immediately turned around and rushed towards the opponent's half court. Xiao Yao looked up and found that Bill Justin followed Rita Mitchell back to the defense, not far from Rita Mitchell, did not pass the ball rashly, but dribbled the ball towards the opponent's half.

With Xiao Yao's charge, Robert Foden naturally followed up immediately. On the other side, Quincy Beasley, who was originally defending Joey Bielsa at the left 45-degree three-point line, also quickly returned to the defense and rushed towards Xiao Yao from the side. What is more rare is that after Quincy Beasley ran away, Joey Bielsa, who played "grand ball", actually followed them and ran towards the opponent's half.

"Carl missed a three-pointer, Xiao Yao grabbed the rebound and dribbled the ball for a fast break!" Li Jun said excitedly.

"This fast break looks like a three-on-three stance." Zhang Yuan said.

Quincy Beasley is indeed a famous sprinter. After halftime, he almost caught up with Xiao Yao. After Xiao Yao entered the three-point line, he stuck up from the side.

After Rita Mitchell rushed to the basket, seeing that Xiao Yao didn't pass the ball, she immediately pulled away to the left, giving Xiao Yao the position under the basket.

After Xiao Yao stepped into the three-point line, he put his left shoulder against Quincy Beasley and glanced at his left side.

Quincy Beasley knew that Bill Justin was defending against Rita Mitchell, so he was not disturbed by Xiao Yao's actions at this time, but was only concentrating on defending Xiao Yao. He knew that he was definitely inferior to Xiao Yao, who was able to dunk, in terms of jumping. Taking advantage of Xiao Yao's slow speed when he turned his head, he squeezed forward with all his strength, and came to Xiao Yao's side in front. The middle and upper body pushed against Xiao Yao, preventing him from taking off smoothly.

Feeling the pressure from Quincy Beasley, Xiao Yao took the initiative to slow down his speed, changing from sprinting to jogging. One step later, Xiao Yao caught the bounced basketball with his right hand and instead of hitting the ground, he swung it from behind to his left.

"Pass the ball from behind?" Quincy Beasley unconsciously shifted his center of gravity to the right, and at the same time subconsciously extended his right hand to intercept. But Xiao Yao was passing the ball behind his back, how could he intercept it across a body?

After Rita Mitchell pulled away to the left, Bill Justin followed him to defend. Robert Foden, who was behind Xiao Yao, ran between Xiao Yao and Joey Bielsa behind himself, and also took care of Joey Bielsa's defense by the way. At this moment, seeing Xiao Yao passing the ball behind his back, Robert Foden immediately threw away Joey Bielsa and ran between Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell, trying to break Xiao Yao to Rita Mitchell This pass from Al.

"Wow~"

Robert Foden, who jumped between Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell, not only did not intercept Xiao Yao's pass, but he didn't even see the basketball flying in front of him. Just when he was a little confused, he suddenly heard There was an exclamation.

"What The Fak!" Robert Foden turned his head to look in Xiao Yao's direction, but saw Quincy Beasley, who was guarding Xiao Yao, widen his eyes and burst out a swear word. Robert Foden looked further into the distance, and was surprised to find that the basketball was in the hands of Joey Bielsa outside the three-point line on Xiao Yao's right.

The unguarded Joey Bielsa jumped up and shot from outside the three-point line in his spare time. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell into the basket accurately.

"Yeah!" Many audience members raised their hands and cheered.

"Xiao Yao passed the ball behind his back, and the ball arrived...in the hands of Bielsa on the right, and Bielsa made a three-pointer!" Li Jun on the commentary laughed loudly, "It's this unbelievable reverse pass again!"

"This is Xiao Yao's original way of passing the ball," Zhang Yuan also laughed. "The last time I saw this kind of passing was in the charity star game that year. It's a pity that the teammate's shot didn't go in that time. This time Bielsa successfully turned Xiao Yao's wonderful pass into an assist!"

Before the Western Celebrities kicked off the baseline, the referee blew his whistle and made a timeout gesture, pointing in the direction of the Western Celebrities bench. It turned out that the Western Celebrities called a timeout.

"The Western Celebrities called a timeout." Li Jun introduced, "After the start of the second half, the Eastern Celebrities scored five points in a row. Now the score is 40-40, and the Eastern Celebrities tied the score."

"One layup, one assist, the five points scored by the Eastern Celebrities in the second half were all related to Xiao Yao." Zhang Yuan laughed, "After Xiao Yao played, the effect was immediate!"

While the two commentators were talking about Xiao Yao, the on-site director also took advantage of the timeout to play a slow-motion replay of the ball just now on the big screen at the scene. This time, the replay did not only show Joey Bielsa's shot, but started with Xiao Yao's pass.

Seeing the replay of the previous goal on the big screen, many spectators who did not see the details of the previous goal clearly looked up at the big screen. Even the coaches and players on the benches of the two teams temporarily interrupted their tactical arrangements and looked up carefully.

On the big screen at the scene, after Xiao Yao swung his right arm behind him and pushed the basketball out, he bent his left arm and stretched it behind him, swung from left to right, and accurately hit the left side of the basketball with the elbow of his left arm. The basketball flying to Xiao Yao's left was hit like this, and it changed direction in the air and flew to Xiao Yao's right, falling into the hands of Joey Bielsa outside the three-point line on the right.

"Wow~" After the slow-motion picture of passing the ball was broadcast, there was another loud exclamation at the scene.

Except for the two Huaxia commentators in the commentary booth, Joey Bielsa and Zhuo Zhiyuan on the bench for both sides, and Zhao Rui and others in the audience, almost everyone had expressions of disbelief.

"What The..." Quincy Beasley said with his eyes widened again.

When we were on the court just now, Quincy Beasley was in front of Xiao Yao. He couldn't see what was behind Xiao Yao. He only saw Xiao Yao swung his right hand to the left, but the basketball flew to the right inexplicably. I couldn't help but uttered a foul language. At this time, after watching the slow-motion replay and knowing how Xiao Yao passed the ball to the right, he was also quite surprised, and once again had the urge to swear.

"Yang, you can still pass the ball like this?" After being surprised, the people on the Eastern Celebrity bench surrounded Xiao Yao.

"Is that guy a monster? Can he still pass the ball like this?" Several people on the bench of the Western Celebrities looked at each other. Same words, but in a completely different tone.

This time, no one suspected that Xiao Yao accidentally hit his arm when passing the ball, and everyone thought it was his intentional pass.

"He didn't come up with this on the spur of the moment, he passed it like this in the game before." Zhuo Zhiyuan stood up and said.

"Okay!" Carmon Blunt of the Western Celebrities clapped his hands and said, "No matter how incredible the pass is, it's just a pass. Let's focus on the game! Now they just tied the score That’s all, it’s still too early for the game to end!”
