Entertaining Children

Chapter 29 One-on-one with the national players

When Chen Yang took Xiao Yao into the training arena of the national men's basketball team, the men's basketball players were doing shooting training. Pen | Fun | Pavilion. .

Seeing that the players were training, Chen Yang did not interrupt, but took Xiao Yao to the empty auditorium, and chatted with Xiao Yao while watching the players training.

"I met your father on the show "Challenge the Champion" before," Chen Yang said with a smile, "I heard from your father that you can also play basketball?"

"Well, I started playing in junior high school." Xiao Yao nodded.

"You only started in junior high school? It's later than I thought." Chen Yang shook his head and said, "I remember that when you recorded "Where Are You Going, Dad", you were only five years old, and you were already standing on the sidelines for your dad and the others. Guidance, but you only started playing basketball in junior high school?"

"You're not going to bring up the fact that I refused you to recommend me to basketball school, are you?" Xiao Yao looked at Chen Yang with a wry smile and said.

"Yes," Chen Yang nodded, "I heard that you were selected by the National Mathematical Olympiad training team? With your brain, you should have a good basketball quotient. Back then, you were only five years old and already understood the inside and outside of basketball. Lines, vacancy, etc., if you really practice in the basketball school for more than ten years, even if you only have an average level of basic skills, with your brain, it is too early to say that it is too early to join the following people, but I think you should be able to Enter a professional club youth team's u16, u17 or something like that."

After speaking, Chen Yang pointed to the men's basketball players who were training off the court, and said with regret: "In a few years, it is not impossible to appear among them."

"You have such high expectations for me?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

"Of course, a five-year-old child who can guide a group of adults to play basketball with dignity is clearly a basketball genius in my eyes." Chen Yang said, "Although the events of these years have shown that You are a genius in your own right, not only in basketball, but in the eyes of someone like me who takes basketball as a career, he only sees you as a basketball genius."

Xiao Yao couldn't tell Chen Yang that I came from time travel. When he was five years old, his mind was filled with the experience gained from playing and watching football in his previous life, so he could only continue to smile helplessly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Anyway, with your current age and situation, it is unlikely that you will enter the basketball school to practice basketball." Chen Yang shrugged, and asked Xiao Yao another question: "Then Do you watch basketball a lot?"

"Well, I still watch basketball games often." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Then, as a basketball fan, do you have any opinion on the prospects of the national team in the World Championships this year?" Chen Yang asked Xiao Yao.

"to be frank,

In this regard, Xiao Yao said without showing timidity, "After you retired, the inside line of our national team has directly dropped a level. Although the outside players this year are stronger than those in the last World Championships, without you, I think the overall strength has dropped a lot, not to mention reaching or even surpassing the best score of the previous World Championships. Eight, I think qualifying from the group is the most realistic goal. "

There are 24 teams participating in these men's basketball world championships. These teams will be divided into four groups a, b, c, and d for a group round-robin match. After the group stage, the top four of the 6 teams in each group will qualify and enter the top 16, and then fight in pairs for the knockout round.

"It seems that I have really watched football a lot these years, but the game is not about math problems, it still depends on the on-the-spot performance. In the last session, who would have thought that we could win against Germany and Spain? No matter what, our The level and results are still good, and it is worth looking forward to by the fans." Chen Yang nodded, as a former national team player and current technical director of the national team, Chen Yang has a better understanding of his national team and the teams participating in the World Championships. Xiao Yao only has a lot more, and it is natural to hear that Xiao Yao's evaluation is quite pertinent, but he is not reconciled to the national team being underestimated by Xiao Yao, so he couldn't help but add a few words.

"That's right," Xiao Yao also nodded and smiled, "Regardless of whether our basketball in China is at its peak or its trough, at least it has always been the top in Asia. We won the championship of the Asian Championships softly. Winning the championship is not news, not winning the championship It's news. Among the three major men's balls, basketball is the front for China."

"Well said!" Chen Yang patted Xiao Yao's shoulder, clapped his hands and laughed.

When the two were chatting happily in the audience, a long whistle sounded on the training ground. When Chen Yang heard this, he quickly pulled Xiao Yao away and said, "The shooting training is over, and there is a fifteen-minute break, let's go down."

The two walked from the auditorium to the training ground. Chen Yang first took Xiao Yao to greet the head coach beside the court.

The head coach of the Huaxia men's basketball team is Alex Jefferson from the United States. He used to be the head coach of an NBA team. Because he was the head coach of the professional club where Chen Yang played in the United States, he has a very good personal relationship with Chen Yang. The reason why he became the head coach of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team is also inseparable from Chen Yang's strong recommendation.

"Hey, aj!" Chen Yang smiled and greeted head coach Alex Jefferson in English: "This is Xiao Yao, the photographer I recommend for the team's promotional photos."

Chen Yang had already told everyone in the team about finding a photographer to take promotional photos for the team members. Alex Jefferson, the head coach from the United States, has no objection to taking fashion photos of his players. He has seen this kind of thing a lot in professional club teams in the United States. When taking pictures does not take up training time, he still supports this method of improving the image and popularity of the players and the team. It's just that when he saw Xiao Yao beside Chen Yang, he expressed some surprise at Xiao Yao's age.

"Mr. Jefferson, hello." Xiao Yao took the initiative to greet in English. He and Alex Jefferson are not as familiar as Chen Yang, so naturally they don't call him aj for short.

"Hello," Jefferson and Xiao Yao shook hands, and praised with a smile, "I didn't expect that the photographer Yang was looking for was so young."

Immediately, Jefferson, who knew the purpose of the two, waved to the two of them and said, "I don't have much to do with the photo taking. Go and talk to the team members yourself."

Chen Yang and Xiao Yao smiled and gestured to Jefferson, then walked towards the side of the field where the players were resting after training.

It has only been two years since Chen Yang retired, and now he is the team's technical director. He is still like a big brother in this national team. The players are much more affectionate to him than the head coach. So watching Chen Yang bring Xiao Yao over, the team members got up and surrounded the two of them.

"Brother Yang, this is the photographer you found for us? Isn't this too young? Doesn't it seem younger than me?" Guo Qi, the youngest member of the team, asked curiously first.

"Yeah, so young, is it okay?" Many other team members also echoed doubtfully.

"Hey, how do you talk, do you know how to be polite?" Chen Yang glared at the guys who spoke, then nodded and said, "This is Xiao Yao, and he is indeed the photographer I found for everyone."

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Yao. I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with you." Xiao Yao was also mentally prepared for the doubts of the team members in advance, and greeted the team members without any dissatisfaction.

The team members all nodded politely to Xiao Yao, and then the outspoken Guo Qi said to Chen Yang: "Brother Yang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just...is the photographer too young?"

"Why? Look down on young people?" Chen Yang said to Guo Qi angrily, "Guo Zi, in terms of age, you are the youngest in the team. Did everyone look down on you after you joined the team?"

Guo Qi is twenty-three years old and is a young national player who has just been recruited for this year's men's basketball training camp. Because he is the youngest, the old team members also take good care of him, and because he is the youngest, these people say whatever comes to mind.

"It's different. I played all the way from the national team's u17, u19, and u22. I also started in the professional league. Everyone knows me. But he is different, I have never heard of him. "Guo Qi argued.

"Hey, you seem to know a lot of fashion photographers, let me hear some names?" Chen Yang smiled, "He is a photographer, not a professional basketball player, so it's strange if you haven't heard of it of?"

"I know!" Suddenly another team member standing next to Guo Qi said: "Xiao Yao, the son of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, played with Xiao Siqi when he participated in a variety show last time, but his son is not acting And the one who sang? How did you become a photographer again?"

"Xu Li, as expected, he has participated in variety shows, and he knows more about the entertainment industry than others." Chen Yang looked at the team members who spoke, "But can't the actors and singers also be photographers?"

Facing the crowd, Chen Yang said: "He is a talented young photographer. His photographs have been published in foreign professional photography magazines, and he has also taken advertising photos for well-known foreign brands."

"So powerful?" Guo Qi was surprised, and asked Chen Yang, "Brother Yang, has he ever taken pictures of you? Don't you have a lot of endorsement and advertising contracts? Did he take pictures of you?"

"Uh...there's really no such thing." Chen Yang was a little embarrassed.

"Then how can such a powerful photographer come to take pictures for us for free?" Another member of the team also asked suspiciously, "I heard that this time the photographer not only took pictures for free, but also the venue, equipment, Clothes are also provided by him."

"You guys are training intensively recently, so you know less about outside news," Chen Yang explained, "Because Xiao Yao's previous photography works were all taken abroad, and few people in China know about it. There are some doubts about the identity of the photographer, so he took pictures for free this time. In addition to cheering for our team to go to the World Championships, it is also a way for him to respond to doubts. In fact, we are picking up It’s a cheap deal, usually we don’t necessarily get a photographer like Xiao Yao even if we pay for it.”

"Since there are doubts, why do you trust him so much, Brother Yang? You knew each other before?" Guo Qi asked again.

"Of course," Chen Yang nodded, "I've known this little guy since he was five years old. At that time, he was only five years old, and he already knew a lot about basketball. I wanted to recommend him to my master from basketball school. In my eyes this guy is a genius, he said he was a photographer, I believe it!

And because he knows basketball since he was five years old, I think he must be a fashion photographer who knows basketball very well, even if he is not the best fashion photographer. That's why I recommend him to take promotional photos for you. "

"Really?" Guo Qi was still a little skeptical, so she suggested, "Why don't you come and challenge me one-on-one, and let's see if he really knows basketball." (To be continued.)
