Entertaining Children

Chapter 8 The Basketball Game

In Xiao Yao's anticipation, the first semester of high school finally started.

Back at school, Xiao Yao thought he could avoid that embarrassing topic. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at school on the first day of school, he was caught by Chen Mingfei.

"Xiao Yao, you really don't wear clothes at home? I didn't seem to notice you had this hobby when I lived in your house three years ago!" Chen Mingfei laughed and teased Xiao Yao when they met.

"No, I wrote the lyrics casually." Xiao Yao could only explain helplessly.

"Don't be embarrassed to admit it, it doesn't matter even if it is. Anyway, it's at your own home, not in a public place." Chen Mingfei continued to laugh.

"Get out!" Xiao Yao couldn't explain, knowing that Chen Mingfei was deliberately provoking him, so he directly raised his fist, and at the same time raised his leg as if to kick.

"Don't worry, buddy won't help you promote it in school. But you have so many fans now, even if I don't tell you, everyone in the school should know about it." Chen Mingfei said with a giggle and fled into his class. classroom.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, but the seven people who had the best relationship with Xiao Yao in the junior high school class, and went out to karaoke together after the graduation ceremony all applied to the high school of Yanjing No. 2 Middle School, but none of them were still in the same class as Xiao Yao.

But now it seems that Xiao Yao should be considered lucky. Because all the classmates in the class have only been in contact with him for half a year, and no one is familiar with Xiao Yao enough to tease him unscrupulously like Chen Mingfei and make fun of him.

During the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, because of the hit broadcast of "Ling Yun Zhi" and the release of two singles, Xiao Yao, who was officially debuted, also became a star in the school. So different from the beginning of junior high school, when Xiao Yao started high school, he entered the school and class as a star.

Since it is the same school, even if the high school and the junior high school are two separate parts, some of Xiao Yao's deeds in the junior high school will more or less spread to the high school. Even without the status of a star, Xiao Yao is considered a star student in the eyes of many teachers in high school just because he has always been the first in his grade in exams, beat up bullies outside the school, and was able to perform on stage at the graduation ceremony by playing and singing original songs.

High school is the same as junior high school, the class leader of the first year at the beginning of the school year is appointed by the teacher. Probably considering Xiao Yao's status as an actor, he was worried that he might take a long time off for filming like he did in the first semester of the third year of junior high school. Xiao Yao, who had successfully served as the class monitor for two years in junior high school, was not designated by the teacher as a class leader in the first semester of the first year of high school.

Among the classmates, because of his star status, the classmates in the class didn't get in touch with him as naturally as the classmates in the junior high school class at the beginning. The classmates always seemed to have a sense of distance from him. There are many people who look at him secretly in their spare time, but not many people come to talk to him on their own initiative.

Especially when there are students from other classes wandering outside their classrooms, and their eyes are aimed at Xiao Yao intentionally or unintentionally, the students' sense of distance is even stronger.

For this situation, Xiao Yao has been psychologically prepared since he took over the filming of "Ling Yun Zhi". Treat other people's sneak peeks and onlookers calmly, and hand over the solution to the most powerful weapon in the world—time.

School is a place for learning, so relatively speaking, it is also a place where star chasing is not very strong. Even so, it was not that no one had the courage to come to Xiao Yao to ask for an autograph and group photo when the school first started, but Xiao Yao never agreed.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Xiao Yao was playing big names, but Xiao Yao explained that in the school, Xiao Yao is just a student like everyone else, everyone is a classmate, and there are no celebrities or fans, so he doesn’t sign or take photos .

Xiao Yao not only said so, but also did so. In school, he really regarded himself as an ordinary student, he should do what he should do, and he never asked for or did anything special because of his status. With the passage of time, everyone gradually felt that the sense of mystery shrouded in Xiao Yao's body because of his star status became less and less.

Everyone discovered that celebrities are also human beings, and they are not much different from them.

If there is any difference, it is also because Xiao Yao participated in the knowledge competition of all five subjects of Chinese, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in the first semester of senior high school and won all the prizes. The abnormal results of winning the second prize at the national level and then being selected for the Olympic winter camp made him even more unique in the school. In everyone's eyes, the label of a genius and a scholar seems to be more concerned about him than the status of a star.

After a whole semester and a long few months, everyone finally regarded him as a member of the class like them in their hearts, and his star status became more of a ridicule when everyone joked about him.

"Big star, do you have any plans to ask for leave for filming in March?" Xiao Yao had just walked into the classroom and sat down in his seat when a rather tall boy came over and asked Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao looked up and found that it was Ma Peng, the sports committee member of the class, and counterattacked with a smile: "What advice does Mr. Bi Mawen have?"

This world also has "Journey to the West". Bi Mawen is the official who manages the horses, and the stable is the place where the horse rests. Ma Peng's name and the stable are homophonic, so Xiao Yao gave him such a nickname.

"Go, how many times have I told you that there is a huge difference between Ma Peng and Bi Mawen, the nickname you gave is unreasonable, logical and aesthetic, so don't use this three-no product." Ma Peng protested road.

"You are allowed to call me a big star, and I am not allowed to call you Bi Mawen? Why?" Xiao Yao said.

"You are a big star. Although my surname is Ma, I don't raise horses." Ma Peng said.

"I'm happy to call, you bite me?" Xiao Yao looked at him and said with a look on his face.

"Hey, I have a bad temper..." Ma Peng rolled up his sleeves angrily.

"What do you want?" Xiao Yao squinted at him.

"If I can't beat you," Ma Peng said discouragedly, "I will beat you."

"It's good to know." Xiao Yao smiled proudly, and then said: "I've been poor for a long time, and you haven't said what you want from me."

"Oh, yes." Ma Peng slapped his forehead, and said, "I'm just busy arguing with you, but I haven't said anything serious yet."

"I heard from my brother in the second year of high school that every year in the middle and late March, the school organizes a basketball game for the first-year freshmen with the class as the unit. Your basketball level will definitely rank among the top five in our class. So if you are not absent from school due to leave, you must be the main force of our class, and we have a higher hope of getting a place in the class." Ma Peng said, "In this month, we will play together more often. Practice a little, and cultivate tacit understanding."

"Basketball game? No problem." Xiao Yao readily agreed. When Xiao Yao was studying in his previous life, there were no class-based basketball games in high school. At that time, it was only in universities that there were basketball games based on departments or majors. The high school basketball game was something Xiao Yao had never experienced in his previous life, so he was naturally very interested.

"Who are on the team? How do you train?" Xiao Yao asked further.

"As long as it is a boy in our class, anyone who can play can be regarded as a member of our class. There is no need to register in advance, and there is no limit on the number of people in the team. The school's class basketball game, you think it is a professional league? Ma Peng sneered, and continued, "There is no coach, so where is the training? Let's play more together to prepare for the basketball game."

"That's true." Xiao Yao nodded. The same is true of the departmental team games in the previous life. The brothers get together to play a few more times, which is considered as preparation for the basketball game, let alone high school?

"So starting from today, as long as it's not raining, don't rush home. The boys in our class take turns to go to the basketball court to occupy the basketball court every day after school. Only when we don’t occupy the field, we will go home as soon as school is over.” Ma Peng instructed again.

"OK, no problem." Xiao Yao made an OK gesture and said, "When it's my turn to occupy the space, remember to tell me in advance."

Xiao Yao's villa has a small yard. In the corner of this yard, there is a small basketball court.

In "Where Are We Going, Dad?", although Xiao Yao rejected Chen Yang's offer to introduce him to the basketball school, Xiao Siqi still saw from the game where Chen Yang was the referee and the fathers added a photographer that Xiao Yao was actually right. Interested in basketball. So when decorating the villa, Xiao Siqi purposely marked out a place in the yard to make a flat field, set up a basketball hoop, and reserved a place to play basketball.

After the basketball court is done, the utilization rate is not very high. Before junior high school, Xiao Yao was still young, his body had not yet developed, and he had basically never played basketball. Although Xiao Yao started playing basketball after junior high school, he only played occasionally on the court in his own yard, not frequently at all. It made Xiao Siqi feel that it was a bit unnecessary to set up this venue at the beginning.

However, in recent days, Xiao Siqi found that Xiao Yao's playing frequency suddenly became higher. Not only did he have to play ball on that field for about half an hour every afternoon when he came back from school, but even during the hour of exercising in the morning, in addition to still insisting on running and practicing voice, Xiao Yao spent the time practicing martial arts before. Bring it to play.

With doubts in his heart, Xiao Siqi asked Xiao Yao directly most of the time.

"The number and time of playing have changed a lot recently. What's the matter?" After returning from school that day, Xiao Yao threw down his schoolbag and went to the yard with the basketball in his arms. Xiao Siqi followed and asked.

"The school will have a freshman basketball game next month, so practice more if you have nothing to do, and hope to perform better then." Xiao Yao replied while practicing shooting.

"You are the main force?" Xiao Siqi asked with great interest.

"This is a class-based competition. With my strength, of course I am the main force in our class." Xiao Yao took it for granted.

"Oh...you're not ashamed of your words!" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao and smiled, "Your shooting is not very good, you only scored two after taking five shots, and it was still when no one was defending. Is this your strength? "

"Professional players have a 40% long-range shooting rate, which is considered good." Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed, and after taking aim, he shot the sixth ball, and even shot a hollow shot into the frame. Xiao Yao let out a sigh of relief, turned to Xiao Siqi and said, "My hit rate is already 50%."
