Chapter 914 They are different

  This celebrity game is an exhibition game dominated by entertainment. The players are all big-name stars, and the content of the training session is not particularly formal. Before the players arrived, everyone was free to practice passing and receiving, shooting, and running, giving the coaching staff a basic impression.

  After all the players and coaching staff have officially introduced themselves, the training session will directly start the training content of group confrontation. Xiao Yao’s Eastern Celebrity Team has a total of eleven players. Except for Joey Bielsa, who is also an assistant coach and is destined to not have much playing time, there are only ten regular players, and they can play five pairs. Five full games.

In the training of group confrontation games, the head coach Rachel Blunt and assistant coach Joey Bielsa will occasionally interrupt the game, arrange some simple pick-and-roll tactics according to the situation on the field, and let everyone play in the next game. Perform viewing effects in.

  When Xiao Yao arrived at the training arena, everyone could feel Joey Birsa’s fancy to Xiao Yao from Joey Birsa’s attitude towards Xiao Yao. As citizens of the No. 1 basketball nation, some American stars are a little unconvinced with Joey Bielsa, who has taken a different look at Xiao Yao, but they didn't say directly about the status of Joey Bielsa's former All-Star player. But after this training session, Xiao Yao's personal ability and the tactical comprehension ability of the coaching staff were obviously better than others. Only then did everyone understand why Joey Bilsa liked Xiao Yao so much. .

  This celebrity match is an exhibition match. These stars participate in this competition. In addition to having a certain sense of victory and defeat, their greater desire is to have fun and have the opportunity to express themselves. When it comes to performance, the best chance is to score. In the training class, Xiao Yao not only demonstrated his overall view of personal ability and passing ability, but also fully demonstrated his selflessness as a ball-handling organizer.

  As a capable player who is very willing to help his teammates score, Xiao Yao quickly won the favor of his teammates. After only one training session, the relationship between these American stars and Xiao Yao became very familiar.

  This training class only lasted about an hour and a half before it ended. After bidding farewell to the new teammates, Xiao Yao told Sun Tingting that he still had something to do in the afternoon and that he could not pick up the plane at the airport, and asked Sun Tingting to pick up Zhao Rui and others who had flown directly to Los Angeles this afternoon.

  Sun Tingting asked Xiao Yao curiously what was going on. Xiao Yao only said that it was related to tomorrow’s Masters, and Sun Tingting didn’t ask for details anymore. Since Xiao Yao still had business in the afternoon, Zhao Rui and others were the little friends who grew up with him, and Sun Tingting had no objection, so he happily accepted the task of picking up the plane at the airport and let Xiao Yao do his business.

  "Immortals" is already a well-known star band in the United States. Their family is still in Calabasas, but apart from the school dormitory, they all have their own residences in downtown Los Angeles, and they are considered Los Angeles natives. Xiao Yao did not let Sun Tingting, a long-term settler in New York, go to the airport in Los Angeles alone. He also found Dean and other local friends to accompany Sun Tingting to the airport to pick up the plane.

Xiao Yao only got four family votes. In addition to Sun Tingting, the other three were given to Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan, and Zhou Zhihao, three friends who grew up together, but this time there are not only the little friends who have flown to Los Angeles from China. These three little friends. Because tomorrow is a very special day, Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiguli also come to Los Angeles with their boyfriends.

  Among the five friends who have grown up together since childhood, only Zhou Zhihao is currently single, and he is the only one who came here this time. If it weren't for Xiao Yao, a player who was born in the Masters, Zhou Zhihao himself would be very interested in basketball. He would not be a light bulb and be stimulated by him anyway.

While on the plane, Zhou Zhihao also planned to complain that Xiao Yao would not take a day to participate in the event after meeting at the airport, causing him to be a lonely person to follow him to be stimulated, but after leaving the passenger passage, he was surprised to find the person who came to pick up the plane. There is no figure of Xiao Yao in it.

  Except Zhou Zhihao, everyone else was surprised that Xiao Yao didn't come to pick up the airport, but fortunately, Sun Tingting was among the pick-ups, and everyone didn't feel that they had any good points. After Sun Tingting introduced several local friends of the "Immortals" band and Zhao Rui and others to each other, Zhou Zhihao immediately asked Sun Tingting about Xiao Yao's whereabouts.

  Sun Tingting did not conceal it, and directly told everyone that Xiao Yao still had something to do with the celebrity game in the afternoon, and would return to the hotel to meet everyone in the evening.

  Although they are not familiar with each other, since it was Xiao Yao’s childhood, several members of the "Immortals" band are also very enthusiastic about Zhao Rui and others. When Xiao Yao was not there, Dean and the others were landlords. They naturally helped Xiao Yao take on the responsibility of entertaining friends. After returning a few people to the booked hotel, they took a few people to visit several famous attractions in Los Angeles. turn.

  Except for Zhou Zhihao, everyone is an entertainment star. Although Zhao Rui and others all learn to perform, Zhao Rui also knows a few musical instruments. Lin Qisan, Nina Aiguli and Zhu Zitong all have vocal lessons in their performance courses. They are not completely ignorant of music, and Zhou Zhihao’s The boxer identity is very attractive to boys such as Dean and George. This group of people are of the same age, and they have a lot in common with their personalities and hobbies. After a long time of contact, they blended smoothly.

  In the evening, when Xiao Yao called Sun Tingting's phone to ask about Zhao Rui and others, a group of people had already enjoyed themselves on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

  After Xiao Yao rushed to meet everyone, this group of young people also became more lively. But when everyone asked what Xiao Yao did in the afternoon, Xiao Yao smiled and didn't answer, only saying that the sky would know.

  Because of the special day tomorrow, Xiao Yao will participate in the Masters Tournament. Zhao Rui and others arrived by plane in the afternoon, and a group of people did not play too late. Around ten o'clock in the evening, everyone said goodbye to each other and went back.

The kick-off time of the   Masters is around nine o'clock in the evening. In addition to the previous red carpet ceremony, entertainment performances, pre-match warm-up, admission introduction and other links, the entire event began in the evening. But even so, everyone still has a free time during the day the next day.

  Neither Zhao Rui nor Zhou Zhihao came to the United States for the first time, and Lin Qisan was not the first time to go abroad. Xiao Yao was not worried about their actions and safety issues in Los Angeles. Because today is a special day, after getting up in the morning, everyone did not recruit friends, but acted separately in pairs.

The only bachelor Zhou Zhihao was bored, thinking of the black bassist George who was also a bachelor in the "Immortals" band I met yesterday, and seemed interested in boxing, so he called him and asked him. I found a gym with a boxing gym and went to vent.

The organizer of the All-Star Weekend Celebrity Tournament arranged shuttle vehicles for all participating stars, but one car could not fit everyone, so Xiao Yao only planned to take Sun Tingting, Fang Wei and Sun Tingting to the arena with him in the organizer’s car. And let Zhao Rui and others go by themselves.

  In the evening, Xiao Yao sent a message to Zhao Rui and others to remind the audience of the admission time, and went back to the hotel to clean up with Sun Tingting. After meeting Fang Wei and Pei Minyi, he waited for the welcome vehicle sent by the organizer of the All-Star Weekend Masters.

  The vehicle arrived in front of the hotel on time, and the four also arrived at the arena on time. The four entered Xiao Yao's lounge, Xiao Yao put on a dress, and Pei Minyi helped Xiao Yao take care of his makeup. It didn't take long for the organizer's staff to come in and inform Xiao Yao to go out on the red carpet.

  Sun Tingting also left the lounge with Xiao Yao, but instead of walking the red carpet with Xiao Yao, she went to the family seat on the side of the stadium to find Zhao Rui and others.

  Although Xiao Yao himself has not specifically promoted the news of his participation in the Masters, Xiao Yao’s reputation in the United States is still very good. I have several music works that have achieved good results on bulletin boards. Not to mention, I have been on social news several times in the United States. Even though there are not many iron fans in the United States, there are still many Americans interested in him.

  When Xiao Yao appeared on the red carpet under the introduction of the location host, the audience and other celebrity fans beside the red carpet area also cheered and screamed. Although these sounds are obviously not neat, but in terms of volume alone, the momentum does not seem to be much worse than other American stars.

  This is Xiao Yao’s second red carpet show, and also the first red carpet show abroad. It is also the first time to walk the red carpet alone, but his performance is still very good. Smiling and waving to the audience on the side of the red carpet, the signatures of Long Feifengwu on the signature board were made naturally and just right. In the end, facing the live interview hosted by the location host, he was quite confident and calm.

  After the red carpet ceremony, Xiao Yao entered the arena and was caught by the on-site reporter of Haiyan Video, which was granted the rights to broadcast on China Xia Network, and did a short on-site interview. For domestic media reporters, Xiao Yao's attitude is naturally more enthusiastic, always answering all the questions of this female reporter with a smile.

  Returned to the lounge to rest for a while, Xiao Yao took off his formal dress, put on sportswear, and left the lounge and sat on the side of the court through the player channel.

  Fang still and Pei Minyi, the two team members, have no seats on the sidelines. Tonight, they can only watch the live broadcast on the TV in the lounge. Xiao Yao didn't ask them to wait for themselves in the lounge and leave first, but neither of them agreed and insisted on staying and taking care of them. Xiao Yao saw that the conditions in the lounge were good, so he agreed.

  The sequence of Xiao Yao walking on the red carpet is arranged relatively later, and the time he appears on the court is relatively later. When Xiao Yao came to the bench for the Eastern players on the side of the court, seven or eight teammates were already sitting and chatting on the bench. Xiao Yao said hello to his teammates one by one, and immediately looked up and looked for his girlfriend and friends on the family seat at the back.

  The sponsor's seat for the family members of the players was not far behind the bench, and Xiao Yao quickly found four of them. After saying hello to Joey Bilsa, Xiao Yao didn't rest on the bench, but directly stepped onto the audience seat and huddled together with his friends.

   "Everyone is on the bench. It’s not good for you to come here alone?" Sun Tingting pointed to the bench below and said to Xiao Yao.

  It's not that she felt too crowded and uncomfortable to squeeze five people into four seats, but she was worried that Xiao Yao's approach would be too gregarious and would make other stars have opinions on him. If teammates are dissatisfied with Xiao Yao, they may not pass the ball to Xiao Yao later in the game, which will affect Xiao Yao's performance.

"It's okay. I can't run here during the game for a while. Except when I'm on the field, I stay on the bench. I have time to communicate with my teammates." Xiao Yao laughed, "And you also went to the training session yesterday. The relationship is pretty good, they won't have any opinion on me."

  Sun Tingting remembered that several American stars in the training class yesterday laughed and said that Xiao Yao would pass the ball to them more during the game today, so she temporarily let go of her worry.

   Xiao Yao sat with the four for a while, and the star players of the two teams were all there. After all the players are there, it's time to warm up. Joey Bilsa waved to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao waved his hand, left Sun Tingting and others, and ran to the court to warm up.

  At the time of warming up, the audience had almost all entered, and the whole scene was very lively. The celebrity game is an exhibition game. Most of the players participating are entertainment stars. There is no shortage of expressive stars, and there is no shortage of stars who can play. So this warm-up time has become an alternative performance time to warm up the game. .

  Many celebrity players played tricks when warming up, and some celebrities didn’t warm up at all. They just performed some funny performances on the side of the court, which caused bursts of laughter and screams from the audience.

  Compared with those extremely expressive stars, Xiao Yao’s warm-up behavior looks much more usual and professional. After moving his body and moving all the bones and joints of his body, Xiao Yao picked up a basketball on the sidelines and walked to the free throw line to practice free throws. After practicing 20 free throws, Xiao Yao drove the basketball at medium speed and made ten layups, and then ran outside the three-point line to practice a fixed-point three-pointer.

   "Yang, do you only do this? Why don't you show it?" A black young man dribbling to the three-point line and asked Xiao Yao with a smile.

  He just won the applause and cheers of some audience members because of a change of hands to the basket. This time he is going to go beyond the three-point line and prepare to do it again.

   "Will, I don't play flower work when I warm up." Xiao Yao smiled and said to the black young man beside him.

The young man is Will Foster, 28 years old this year. He is a comedian. He is very talented in acting and has a desire to perform. He is a member of the Eastern Stars team of this celebrity game and a teammate of Xiao Yao. .

"Same as Daniel?" Will Foster smiled and pointed to a humane who was also doing shooting practice on the other half of the court. "Are you Chinese people so low-key? No wonder I heard about Chinese people. They are all very restrained."

  Xiao Yao looked in the direction of Will Foster’s fingers and found that he was referring to Zhuo Zhiyuan, another Chinese star in the Masters. In this celebrity match, Xiao Yao was assigned to the Eastern Stars team, and Zhuo Zhiyuan was assigned to the Western Stars. The two were still opponents, and Zhuo Zhiyuan’s warm-up area was in the other half.

Zhuo Zhiyuan This is the third time for the Masters, and Will Foster is the fourth time. Both of them participated in the Masters last year, so Will Foster knows Zhuo Zhiyuan and his English name is Zhuo Zhiyuan. Daniel.

"No, they are not the same." Joey Bielsa didn't know when he arrived at the two of them, and smiled and said to Will Foster. "Young and Daniel have different styles and performances off the court. The styles on the court are different. It’s even more different from performance."

  Joy Bilsa participated in China’s Star Charity Basketball Tournament, and also participated in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game last year. His understanding of Zhuo Zhiyuan clearly surpasses Will Foster.

   "What do you mean?" Will Foster asked curiously.

   "When it comes to the game, you will know!" Joey Birsa laughed.
