Chapter 1054

"Well, my fault!" Xiao Yao raised his hands, motioned to the TV screen in front of him and said, "do you want to continue?"

"No!" Frustrated, Rita Mitchell threw the handle on the sofa and stood up. "Let's go to the real basketball court."

"All right!" Xiao Yao shrugged and stood up.

Rita led Xiao Yao out of the room and soon brought him to a studio with a standard basketball court. In addition to the cameras for the two, the program team has also set up some fixed cameras here.

"The guests who come to our program want to show the audience his real basketball skills." Rita Mitchell took Xiao Yao to the main camera, introduced a sentence, then turned to Xiao Yao and said, "so, Yang, I want to ask you, what's your best skill in basketball? Is there anything we can teach our audience? "

"I don't know," Xiao Yao shook his head. "Maybe it's a dunk? But it's not a skill, is it? Just jump high enough! There are many episodes of your program where professional players are guests. I'm sure I can't compare with the professional players of NBA

"What about dunks?" Rita Mitchell asked again.

"Maybe a pass?" Xiao Yao said, "but the most important thing in passing is consciousness. You should be good at finding the gap of your teammates. It seems that you can't explain it, can you? And there are only two of us here, so I really don't know what to teach the audience! "

"I know!" Rita Mitchell took a look at Xiao Yao, pulled her finger and began to count, "crotch dribble, change to pass, turn to pass, break through, pass behind, reverse pass behind, European step, backward jump shot, backward jump shot..." These are the technical moves Rita Mitchell saw Xiao Yao do at the masters last year.

"Wow, I can do so many moves!" Xiao Yao exclaimed, and then said with a smile, "do you want me to do all this and explain it again?"

"If you will." Rita Mitchell nodded with a smile. "It's a recorded show. There's no limit to our shooting time."

"There's no limit to the length of time?" Xiao Yao asked.

"There will be clips later," Rita Mitchell said with a smile. "We'll pick the one you do the best."

"But I think professional players do better than me in everything you say Xiao Yao said with a smile, "if you remember correctly, these movements have been taught by professional players in your programs before."

"Except for the back pass," Rita Mitchell said, "you created it. No professional player has ever done it in a game. We don't have it on the show."

"Well, that's it!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.

"OK," Rita Mitchell said to the camera again, "then let young reveal to us how this special way of passing is accomplished!"

The staff outside the camera pass a basketball to Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao reached for it, patted it twice on the ground and tried his hand.

"Let's have a demonstration first!" Rita Mitchell suggested.

"No problem!" Xiao Yao nodded and put the basketball on the floor in front of him. He simply warmed up and moved his shoulders, wrists, ankles and other joints.

"Come on!" Rita Mitchell ran to stand near the three-point line on the right side line and called to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao picked up the basketball and ran to the basket. Xiao Yao started with the ball when he was still one step away from the three second zone. After taking a step, Xiao Yao's right arm throws the basketball to his left from behind. His left arm swings back, and uses his elbow to knock the basketball to the right. The basketball flies from behind Xiao Yao to the right and falls into Rita Mitchell's hand near the right sideline.

Rita Mitchell immediately jumped up and shot after catching the ball. The basketball drew a parabola and went into the frame very accurately.

"Yes Xiao Yao ran to the sideline, and the happy Rita Mitchell clapped her hands.

"Now you can explain it in detail and teach me how to do it." After high fives, Rita Mitchell runs to pick up the basketball and hands it to Xiao Yao.

"All right." Xiao Yao took the basketball and began to demonstrate it in slow motion. He explained, "when you pass the basketball from behind to the left, you should bend your left arm, extend it to the back, swing it from left to right, and hit the basketball in the air with this part of your elbow..."

The reverse passing behind the back seems incredible, but the principle is not complicated. People who have seen the slow motion replay of the masters can understand it, but it is not easy to do it. The main thing is that after swinging the left arm back, we should play basketball with the elbow part very accurately to make it turn halfway. Because this action is completed behind, I can't see it, so it's very difficult to find this time node only by feeling.

Rita Mitchell understood only after listening to Xiao Yao's explanation, but her success rate was very low.

First of all, it took almost five or six times to pass the ball when standing still. Only once did it touch the basketball behind with the left arm, and the position of the hitting point was not accurate, not the elbow, but the forearm. Because the swing range of the left arm in this pass action is not big, when the basketball hits on the soft small arm muscle, it does not fly to the right, but directly falls behind her.Of course, this is not a very serious basketball teaching program, but an entertainment program. Both of them are very relaxed. In the process of Rita Mitchell's practice, Xiao Yao unbluntly Tucao and make complaints about Rita's Mitchell's mistakes. The whole process is also very joyful.

After practising in place for a while, Rita Mitchell found some feeling and began to pass the ball on the move. After all, this kind of pass is basically in the process of counterattack will play a surprising effect, only the use of the road will play its role.

This kind of passing is very different between doing it in sports and doing it in situ, so Rita Mitchell's success rate is not very high, and it is only after many times that she has been successful.

Xiao Yao also stood on Rita Mitchell's right side when she dribbled the ball to the basket for a reverse pass. If Rita Mitchell's left arm doesn't touch the ball and the basketball flies directly to Rita's left, Xiao Yao certainly has no way, but as long as Rita Mitchell's left arm touches the basketball and the basketball reaches her right, even if the pass is not in place, Xiao Yao will run a few steps to pick up the basketball and complete a shot, and then signal Rita Mitchell to pass the ball successfully. If Xiao Yao throws in, Xiao Yao will be very excited and run to celebrate with Rita Mitchell.

Rita Mitchell is naturally very happy to see Xiao Yao's shooting percentage is not very high today. After the recording of this part, Rita Mitchell puts forward new challenges to Xiao Yao.

"Young, let's call it a day," Rita Mitchell said as she walked up to Xiao Yao with her basketball in her arms. "Finally, let's have a shooting match."

"Better than shooting? Good Xiao Yao nodded and said, "how to compare?"

If it's a one-on-one challenge, Xiao Yao certainly won't compete with Rita Mitchell, but this kind of competition without physical confrontation and contact, Xiao Yao doesn't mind competing with Rita Mitchell.

"Two baseline, 45 degree angle plus arc top five position three points, two baseline, 45 degree angle plus free throw line five position middle distance, a total of 10 shots, three points outside the three-point line, middle distance protection free throw line all count two points, who scores more, who wins!" Rita Mitchell introduces the rules.

"No problem!" Xiao Yao nodded.

Although the play introduced by Rita Mitchell is different from Xiao Yao's usual three second line climbing and "21 point" shooting game at school, there is no problem for Xiao Yao.

"Bet? The loser is the treat! " Rita Mitchell looks at Xiao Yaodao with provocative eyes.

"Is this also the content of the program?" Xiao Yao asked.

"No!" Rita Mitchell shook her head. "I just want to kill you!"

"OK, bet!" Xiao Yao high fives Rita Mitchell confidently.

After recording the program, it's OK for friends to have a meal, but if there is a camera during the meal, it will appear on TV in the future, and Xiao Yao will feel uncomfortable. After all, he's here for a basketball show, not a reality show.

For shooting with Rita Mitchell, Xiao Yao is very confident, but the result is a hard hit on Xiao Yao's face. The result of the two men's shooting match was that Rita Mitchell lost only two three-point shots and one two-point shot and scored 17 points, while Xiao Yao hit all five two-point shots, but only one three-point shot at the top of the arc and the other four missed all and scored only 13 points. Xiao Yao lost both in scoring and in the number of hits.

“Yes！” Rita Mitchell raised her arms and waved them in delight, while Xiao Yao shook her head in embarrassment.

Although losing the shooting game is very uncomfortable, but Xiao Yao is willing to admit defeat, since he lost, he did not intend to default.

"I lost!" Xiao Yao said to Rita Mitchell, "just tonight. Is seven OK?"

"Yes!" Rita Mitchell laughs.

"OK, I'll let you know when I book the restaurant!" Xiao Yaodao.

So far, the content of this program has been completed. Rita Mitchell took Xiao Yao and said goodbye to the camera. The shooting was over.

After saying goodbye to Rita Mitchell and the crew, Xiao Yao also left the shooting site.

After returning to the hotel, Xiao Yao first searched the Internet for famous restaurants in Los Angeles, and successfully reserved the location for the evening. After sending the name and address of the restaurant to Rita Mitchell, he went into the bathroom to take a bath.

When she came out of the shower, Rita Mitchell's confirmation was also received on her mobile phone. Xiao Yao saw that it was still early, so he took out his laptop to deal with some work. He didn't change his clothes and go out until about 6 p.m.

Although Xiao Yao is watching the time out of the door, the location of the restaurant is not too far from Xiao Yao's hotel. When Xiao Yao arrived, it was about 20 minutes before 7 p.m. However, the first time I invited a foreign friend to dinner, the object was still a lady. Xiao Yao not only ordered a more advanced restaurant, but also arrived early as a polite performance.Xiao Yao was also prepared to be late, but he didn't expect Rita Mitchell to appear at the door of the restaurant five minutes before 7 p.m.

Rita Mitchell was obviously well groomed. She has long, curly, golden hair spread over her shoulders. Her face is exquisitely made up, and her diamond inlaid platinum necklace and earrings are very conspicuous. Her body is a light blue half length dress, revealing delicate clavicle and a clean and tight leg, and her feet are a pair of high-heeled shoes with a straight belt, which makes her look even taller when she is 1.7 meters tall.

Xiao Yao and Rita Mitchell are far apart on the red carpet show of the two masters. When Xiao Yao saw Rita Mitchell several times, he was in the stadium and on the show. The other party was basically dressed up in horsetail and sportswear. This was the first time he saw Rita Mitchell dressed up like this, and the visual impact was not small. However, despite the great visual impact, Xiao Yao found Rita Mitchell for the first time and raised his hand to signal to her.

Rita Mitchell soon found Xiao Yao and came to him with a smile.

"Please Xiao Yao got up and helped Rita Mitchell pull the chair open. After she got to the table, she pushed the chair forward.

"Thank you Rita Mitchell smiles, nods and sits down.

"My pleasure!" Xiao Yao smiles and goes back to the seat opposite her.

"It's the first time I've seen you dressed like this," Xiao Yao said, looking at Rita Mitchell. "It's beautiful

It's a high-end western restaurant, and it's also a banquet for ladies. Xiao Yao also pays attention to dress. But he was just wearing a black suit with a blue shirt and no tie. Compared with Rita Mitchell's dress, it was a lot more casual.

"Thank you," Rita Mitchell said with a smile. "It's the first time you invited me to dinner. It's in such a high-end place. Of course I have to dress up. I can't be rude."

"Well, I hope tonight's meal is worthy of your elaborate dress." Xiao Yao smiles and raises his hand to invite the waiter to order.

After the waiter brought the menu. Xiao Yao didn't ask Rita Mitchell to order by herself. Instead, he asked Rita Mitchell what she wanted to eat, and then told the waiter. The reason for this is that Xiao Yao orders with the waiter in French.

"I can't believe you speak French so well!" After the waiter left, Rita Mitchell looked at Xiao Yao and said with a smile.

"It's not a show off!" Xiao Yao raised his hands with a smile and said, "this French restaurant is owned by French people. You know, the French have a special sense of self-esteem and national pride. If foreigners communicate with them in French, they will also be very enthusiastic. I just want to make them pay more attention to our meals. "

"ha ha ~" heard Xiao Yao so make complaints about the French, Rita Mitchell smiled happily with his mouth shut.

With this beginning, the whole dining atmosphere becomes pleasant and relaxed.

"You know so much," Rita Mitchell asked Xiao Yao with a smile. "What else do you know? And what other languages do you speak? "

Although she didn't contact Xiao Yao many times, Xiao Yao impressed Rita Mitchell very much. Rita Mitchell was also curious about Xiao Yao, a Chinese. Taking this opportunity, Rita Mitchell also wants to get to know Xiao Yao better.

Xiao Yao's impression of Rita Mitchell is also good. He feels that he can make friends. So he didn't hide much from Rita Mitchell. As long as it didn't involve special privacy, Xiao Yao would basically answer truthfully.

Rita Mitchell can feel Xiao Yao's sincerity in the conversation, and Xiao Yao's eloquence is good, and there is no lack of humor in her character, so this dinner is quite pleasant for both of them.

At the end of the day, Xiao Yao asked the waiter to pay the bill, but Rita Mitchell suddenly said to Xiao Yao, "I'll treat you."

"Why? Isn't it a deal to treat the loser? " Xiao Yao said strangely.

"It's just a joke." Rita Mitchell said with a smile, "shooting in the afternoon, I'm the host, you're the guest, I should invite you! This restaurant is French, but we are in Los Angeles now. I am an American, you are Chinese, I am also the host, you are still the guest, or should I invite you! If you invite me, I'll feel guilty! "

"No, I insist!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said with a smile, "if you feel embarrassed, how about helping me?"
