"Hi, Belle."
While Xu Chuan was thinking about how this matter would end, a slightly familiar voice sounded behind him. At that moment, Xu Chuan almost jumped up from his chair. How did Qian Jida, the aunt, get behind him.
Turning her head, the hairy woman was holding a Starbucks paper cup in her hand. She had a drunken expression on her face. It was obvious that what she drank was definitely not coffee.
Xu Chuan glanced behind her and asked, "Where is Casper?"
Qian Jida pointed at the box above her head, and then said with a mocking look, "This game of yours is really boring. When are you going to go up and have a fight?"
Xu Chuan was not going to argue with a woman who had drunk too much, let alone this woman's fighting ability was better than Falme.
He raised his head and glanced at the location of the box. He didn't expect Cusper to be here. "I'll go find him while waiting for halftime."
There are four quarters of ten minutes each in the game. Stars will perform on stage at midfield, including Sheila. The guest lineup is definitely a star-studded one.
The basketball skills of the celebrities who played in the last game varied, but there were one or two who were really good. One of them had already scored 20 points in the half, and they seemed to be in very good physical condition, and could even jump up and dunk.
Both sides played without defense and had a tacit understanding. The score was always tense. At the end of the half, the score was 58:55.
Those basketball fans and artist fans were very happy to see it. The fans saw the players they have loved since childhood, and those fans saw the handsome figures of their brothers. Everyone gained something in their own way.
"How did you come?"
Xu Chuan walked into the VIP box. Casper was wearing a dark blue suit and was sitting on the sofa, drinking red wine and watching the wonderful replays on TV. This location provided catering services.
"Oh, it's rare to see you play. Of course I want to join in the fun, and I was very close to here in Roanapura before." Casper laughed, "And I think you said it before. Email me and need an interview.”
Xu Chuan nodded and sat down at the dining table, then picked up his fork and tasted the untouched pasta.
"You are talking about the cooperation with Gogol. I have some reasons to do this, but I will keep it secret for the time being. You will know it by the end of the year."
"Is it aimed at the Zetlov Group?" Casper asked.
This guy is really smart, he guessed exactly like that.
Xu Chuan shrugged and said he had no comment.
But his attitude said everything. Cusper was a smart man, so of course he didn't continue to ask questions.
"If you need help, HCLI is always willing to help." Casper smiled and raised the red wine glass in his hand.
"When will you go to Nansudan?" After getting the answer, Casper changed the topic and asked.
Xu Chuan finished the pasta on the plate and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth. "We will leave in the evening after the game. We will discuss the details after we get there."
Through the window of the box, Sheila is performing under the spotlight. She needs to sing two songs today, "Hello" and "Something Just Like This"
Compared with the previous artists, at least this woman didn't lip-sync.
No matter how hard she tries, Sheila's singing skills and voice are really not top-notch. These require some talent, but putting her in this scene is almost a dimensionality reduction blow.
Coupled with the venue's first-class sound equipment, it is definitely a god-level scene, and she seems to be able to do it with ease.
Casper gave Xu Chuan a thumbs up. Who would have thought that these two songs were both produced by this inconspicuous partner in front of him.
The audience's response was quite enthusiastic, and the real singing and lip-syncing could still be clearly distinguished. Compared with this unfamiliar American female singer, the previous little freshmen were simply insulting to them.
In response, Xuela received the warmest applause. Even those fans who had no interest in celebrities were asking people around them who this woman was, which greatly reduced Huaxia's popularity.
The game continued in the third quarter. This time Xu Chuan's home team made several mistakes from the beginning. Fran, who had recovered a certain amount of strength on the opposite side, took the rebound and broke through to the basket for a layup, directly widening the score gap to 12 point.
Xu Chuan glanced at the three professional players in his team. He didn't know yet whether all three were involved in blocking the ball, but it didn't matter.
After scoring the goal, Fran made provocative moves towards Xu Chuan. This guy really wanted to compete with Xu Chuan.
Looking at the score, Xu Chuan took off his jacket and prepared to play. There were many whistles in the audience.
Anyone who has watched the NBA All-Star Weekend knows that this guy can cause trouble. Many people who came here today want to see if he will continue to hit people.
The coach of the home team called a timeout, and then without arranging any tactics, he replaced a star artist and replaced Xu Chuan on the field.
"Hey, brother, you finally plan to come up, but don't worry, I won't let you lose too badly." Fran stood in front of Xu Chuan and kept talking trash.
The atmosphere at the scene became even more heated, wouldn't this confrontation begin?
Xu Chuan ignored the other party's provocation and began to run around the field like a wild dog, leaving Fran exhausted and spending his little energy on turning back and forth.
A few minutes later, Xu Chuan had not even caught the ball and shot, and Fran could hardly run anymore. Young Master Xu liked this way of walking the dog very much.
The score gap has always been maintained at about fifteen points. As long as the home team catches up with a few, there will be several mistakes in the offense, or violations such as star artists being blown away.
And if they are stretched too far, the home team's professional players will use their strength to catch up with a few, and the point control will be very stable.
Xu Chuan smiled, then suddenly increased his speed and directly shook off Fran's defense. He was almost four steps away from the three-point line and asked for the ball from the professional player who was dribbling the ball.
This guy was one of the people in the bathroom. He walked through without any hesitation. The big boss wants the ball but doesn't give it to him.
Not only that, the visiting team's defensive players directly opened a gap, and no one stopped in front of Xu Chuan. Although this was a game, it was more humane.
As if Xu Chuan hadn't seen it, he caught the ball and made a pull-up jumper, and then hit the net in front of everyone's eyes.
"Here we go again." Director Li, who was sitting next to Xiao Ping, shook his head speechlessly. This was as unreasonable as in Houston.
But Xiao Ping just said with a simple smile, "I watched that game, this guy is so interesting."
Everyone knows the meaning of using one's own strengths to attack another's weaknesses, but few can do it. Especially in competitive games, it is easy to make mistakes when the head is hot, and this guy knows it all the time. Whatever you can do, do it consistently.
This is the most efficient. Xiao Ping thought about his former national team teammates and could only sigh secretly. In fact, many people may not even be able to do what they are best at.
The visiting team kicked off the ball, and after halftime it was passed to the star entertainer who scored the highest score in the game, and Xu Chuan rushed up and started pressing.
This is a scene that has never happened in the entire game. Both sides are performing in nature, there is no physical confrontation at all, and the world is not just talk.
This little fresh meat, whose name Xu Chuan couldn't even pronounce, was panicking. Facing the fierce-looking Xu Chuan, he didn't know whether he should hand the ball to the opponent directly.
Hesitating, the basketball was taken out without any surprise. With his dumbfounded expression, Xu Chuan rarely dribbled the ball twice and took two steps past half court, then took off to shoot, and continued to score goals unreasonably.
Xiao Xianrou was about to cry. His rosy face turned pale due to exercise. What did it have to do with being intercepted? What he was worried about was that he had offended Xu Chuan somewhere. This was too terrible.
The other team's coach also noticed this and immediately replaced the player with another professional player.
The coach of the home team did the same and replaced another artist on the court. At this time, apart from Xu Chuan, the only people on the court were professional players and retired NBA players.
The fans are the happiest. Although the offensive and defensive performances are interesting, there is no real game to watch.
Fran was even more excited, shouting to his former teammate, "Jason, help me cover the ball, don't let him catch the ball."
The two of them were once on the same team, and these were the tactics they used.
Jason was speechless, but Fran, who was obviously looking up, could only agree. Please, this is an exhibition game, and Fran's serious expression was like the finals.
Xu Chuan was even more speechless. That was not his plan. He just wanted to get the score back and then see what other tricks he could do. Fran looked like he was ready to fight.
I'm really not targeting you, man.
After the game, Zhou Hao walked to the visiting team's bench and sat next to the young guy. "Don't worry, he's not targeting you. By the way, are there any schedules recently? We have a project in hand."
Pointing at Xu Chuan who was running away, "Our big boss's script is a costume fantasy, and the heroine is Gao Wen."
This newcomer named Ding Xincheng has been very popular recently, and compared to some idols who have a background in singing and dancing, this guy at least has a background in acting, and although his acting skills are immature, he can still pass by.
This is not Zhou Hao’s judgment, but the comments of some professionals from UC Media.
This kid almost jumped up after hearing this. Xu Chuan's script, just this one condition can make all the actors in China flock to it.
"If you are interested, you can ask your agent to contact me." After finishing speaking, Zhou Hao handed over a business card.
Ding Xincheng's manager ran down from the stands. What just happened also scared him. "What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to play with Mr. Xu?"
Ding Xincheng held Zhou Hao's business card with lingering fear, "It's not my problem. Mr. Zhou came over and asked me if I had any schedule for Mr. Xu's script."
"Then how did you answer?", the agent stared, and this is such a good thing that it's pie in the sky?
"I said I'd ask you first."
"Is your brain flooded?" The agent said with blood in his chest. Is this kid too honest?
No matter what the schedule is, just agree to it first. Who in China can refuse the name Xu Chuan now? He has been nominated for two Emmy Awards, and all domestic dramas in China are hit movies.
The movie "In My Name" directly brought Gao Wen into the TV industry, which no one expected.
Regardless of the fact that web dramas cannot achieve star status, it is said that several TV awards are already discussing adding outstanding web dramas to the ranks of awards. This was not possible before.
"Give me your business card, and I'll contact Mr. Zhou to see what kind of role it is." After the excitement passed, the manager began to worry that if it was someone named after me again, the male protagonist would die every two episodes. Quite terrible.
The game on the court continued. After both sides started to take it seriously, especially several retired NBA players, the game became more exciting and more confrontational.
However, several domestic professional players seemed to have no reaction. After the game suddenly increased in intensity, they seemed at a loss and kept making mistakes.
Although these NBA players have retired, the bodies found this time are all in good shape. After their strength increased, the level gap between the domestic players was immediately revealed.
Xiao Ping was sitting below, but now he has stood up. He now regrets not agreeing to the invitation.
Xu Chuan continued his dog-walking tactics, but this time Fran's teammates started to defend and kept interfering with him to catch the ball. He had to run faster and change direction, and use the cover of his own team members to catch the ball.
Fran really used all his strength this time and spared no effort in defense. There were all kinds of physical confrontations and small moves. He simply regarded Xu Chuan as a professional player.
After being knocked out of the baseline again, Xu Chuan was speechless, but he was also angry. He directly covered his head and face while defending and pulled Fran down who was preparing for a layup.
The two sides became more and more heated, making the audience gradually forget that this was a celebrity exhibition match.
"Referee, CNM, are you blind? That's a foul."
The fans were even more excited than the players involved when they saw their favorite players being fouled. They stood up in the stands and cursed the referee on the field, scaring the little girls who came to the scene to chase stars and shrank aside.
After the break in the third quarter, the two sides began to clearly differentiate themselves, and the two head coaches actually started arranging tactics.
"Fran, are your physical strength okay?"
Fran took a sip of the Gatorade sports drink specially prepared for them. Although the sweat on his forehead was dripping down, he was very excited, "I have no problem, this is the competition."
"Then you continue to play, pay attention to switching defenses, and don't let Xu Chuan catch the ball as before." As a former professional player and coach, he was a little unsure about Xu Chuan, with his exaggerated hitting rate and strange play. Law has never seen that in his career.
Then he looked at the domestic players with a frown and said, "Cheer up, you guys, you're not performing anymore."
These people seemed to have lost their way. They didn’t know what they were doing on the field, and they were out of tune with the others. Of course it would be fine if everyone was still performing, but now that they are getting serious, they can’t be confused about the situation.
The game in the fourth quarter continued the previous rhythm, and the defense was even more rough. Xu Chuan could not even catch the ball for a time. The score between the two sides was very tight, but the home team was still three points behind.
Xu Chuan has almost determined who is blocking the ball. The three who are getting more and more excited as they play are probably not involved, and the other three who are getting more and more timid are probably accomplices.
The three of them have been trying to figure out how to influence the trend of the game, but as long as two balls are released, the NBA players here can use their personal abilities to catch up. Coupled with Xu Chuan, who can shoot from near the midline, they simply cannot reach it. Purpose.
But it is obvious that the physical fitness of these retired players has bottomed out, which is good news for them.
In the last attack of the home team, the two ball-blocking players gave up their defense. Xu Chuan finally received the ball smoothly again and then made a shot to equalize the score at the last moment.
The thinking of these people is obvious. Basketball betting is different from football. Football lasts 90 minutes, plus overtime, but basketball is the final score to determine the winner, and there is no draw.
They wanted to keep their handicap in overtime.
It's just that Xu Chuan couldn't let them get what they wanted. Facing the already delighted audience, Xu Chuan asked the host for a microphone.
"Do you still want to watch overtime?"
"Yes", the mountain roared like a tsunami.
"What a beautiful thought. As the organizer, I announce that there will be no overtime in this game. This is the final score." He pointed to the number 109:109 on the scoreboard.
Many people laughed, and those who knew him thought he was joking again.
"I'm not kidding, for some reasons, I think it's perfect for the game to end here." He said and glanced at the three players with dull faces.
Fans in the audience booed in disapproval.
"Before the game, I received a piece of news. A stupid betting company actually opened a handicap on this game." His words made everyone on the field quiet down and continued to listen to him.
"I don't understand their behavior, but I know that someone here must have placed bets, especially those who scolded me very harshly just now. If you have bet a lot, then I suggest you go to the rooftop soon. You deserve to die. ."
"The people from the gambling company should also be there. Trust me, I will definitely find you."
According to his request, several high-definition cameras at the scene were all pointed at the auditorium. The plan was to take pictures of everyone's expressions, and then hand them over to technicians for analysis, who made the call at this time, and then compare the calls from nearby base stations. Records can always find people.
The few players who blocked the ball had already ran back to the bench and hid in the crowd, opened the app, and then found that the program could no longer be logged in.
The game ended with this unprecedented ending. Just like he said, some people actually jumped into the river and off the building that night.
But things here in Xu Chuan are not over yet. "Don't forget to refund me the appearance fee, otherwise I will upload the recording to the Internet."
Taking the recording, he called Deputy Cao Xi and the players together.
