Chapter 118 The most down-to-earth star! The three-point contest shocked Guo Ailun!
Chapter 118

Wang Yan's itinerary was exposed when he participated in a program on China Central Television.

From then on, he could no longer travel peacefully in the Celestial Empire.

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, Wang Yan found that many fans were waiting for him in the hotel lobby.

Wang Yan was helpless. He was usually a very easy-going person and was very friendly to fans from all over the world.

But now he is too popular and has a huge fan base. If he continues like this, it will not be a solution. He will be surrounded by people wherever he goes.

Moreover, Wang Yan doesn't like to hire bodyguards, as that would make him seem too out of touch with the masses.

He discussed with Liu Yifei that they must find a way to solve the problem.

Liu Yifei was better adapted to the environment of the Celestial Empire than Wang Yan, and she came up with an idea.

"Baby, we can't travel now. We will definitely be watched wherever we go. How about this? Let's just participate in a variety show and record the show for one or two hours every day. The rest of the time, the production crew will protect us."

Wang Yan's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea.

Since it has been made public anyway, why not just put it on a variety show? This will not only satisfy the fans but also allow them to have fun with peace of mind.

"Yifei, you are so smart. What variety show should we participate in?"

Liu Yifei thought for a moment, then sighed and replied, "The most popular variety show right now is Happy Camp, but the audience seems to be too young and not suitable for us."

Wang Yanzhe just remembered that it was 2011 and variety shows in China were not yet popular.

Shows like "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and "Running Man" haven't been aired yet.

In that case, why not just be a pioneer?

After traveling through time, you must be a pioneer in all aspects!

"Yifei, how about this? I'll go talk to CCTV and ask them to organize a sports variety show. What do you think?"

If someone else said this, they would definitely be bragging.

But Wang Yan is qualified to make this request, and CCTV will definitely agree to it.

"Great, I can be a female guest!" Liu Yifei took the initiative to ask to participate. Her little thoughts were too obvious. She just wanted to keep an eye on Wang Yan and prevent him from being seduced by other female guests.

Wang Yan pinched her little nose and said with a smile: "Are you going to monitor me?"

"No way! I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just go and get some attention!"

Liu Yifei tried her best to defend herself.

Sure enough, after Wang Yan contacted CCTV, he received support and attention from CCTV.

As a loyal fan of Wang Yan, Yu Jia participated in the planning of the program.

Soon, a sports variety show was launched on CCTV.

The name of the program was suggested by Wang Yan, and it was called "I Want to Play Basketball!"

In addition to Wang Yan and Liu Yifei, two national basketball players, Alian and Guo Ailun, were also invited.

There are also popular actors Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming and Wen Zhang.

The female guests include Yang Mi, Liu Xiaoshi and Zheng Xiaoshuang.

When Wang Yan saw the list, he was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was 2011 and these people had not gotten into trouble yet.

On the first day of recording the program, all the guests became Wang Yan's little fans. They came to ask for Wang Yan's autographs and took photos with him.

For these popular stars, their status is still far behind that of Wang Yan.

Wang Yan is already an international superstar!
Take endorsements for example, Wang Yan endorses all the world's top luxury brands.

These Chinese celebrities can only endorse small brands at most.

As members of the national team, Alian and Guo Ailun talked the most with Wang Yan. They are also fans of Wang Yan and have a look of admiration on their faces.

Although several female stars don't understand basketball, they are not stupid. They know that Wang Yan is the traffic password, so they stick to Wang Yan.

This made Liu Yifei very anxious. She deliberately showed her affection with Wang Yan in public to warn other female stars.

Wang Yan laughed inwardly. A good sports variety show turned into a show of jealousy.

But this is also a very good program effect, and the audience will definitely like it.

The first episode of the variety show is about traveling to Huangshan and playing some small games during the trip.

Before traveling through time, Wang Yan had watched several popular variety shows and made suggestions to the director, such as name tag tearing and treasure hunting, and everyone had a lot of fun.

After all, this is a sports variety show, so of course it cannot be separated from sports.

The program team also designed a basketball one-on-one program.

This show is a favorite.

After all, Wang Yan is the traffic guarantee for this show.

However, Yi Jianlian and Guo Ailun are considered by domestic fans to be the two players with the best skills.

Everyone wanted to see how big the gap was between them and Wang Yan.

Alian and Guo Ailun were a little nervous, but also very excited.

After all, they have too few opportunities to compete against NBA superstars.

"Wang Yan, please be gentle and give us some face." A Lian said half-jokingly.

Wang Yan shrugged and said with a smile: "Don't be so modest, you are all strong, I know it."

The first to initiate the challenge was Guo Ailun.

Due to the huge height difference between the two and the different positions they played on the court, they had a three-point contest!
Everyone present had watched NBA games and knew that Wang Yan almost never took three-point shots.

So this matchup is fair. After all, Guo Ailun’s three-point shooting percentage in the CBA is close to 40%, which makes him a three-point expert.

The rules of the game are the same as the NBA's three-point contest. Five balls are prepared, the last one is a trick ball, and shots are taken from five shooting points.

The final score is added up to determine the winner.

In order to increase the program effect, the program team also invited two other celebrity guests to compete, Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming.

These two people also like to play basketball and are not rookies.

The first to appear was Deng Chao, who only made one shot on his first try.

But he was lucky and hit the last flower ball.

The guests at the scene couldn't help laughing because of Deng Chao's jokes. This guy really has a talent for comedy.

However, after a round of shooting, Deng Chao only made two shots and scored a total of 3 points.

Wang Yan walked over with a smile and high-fived Deng Chao in encouragement.

The second person to fight was Huang Xiaoming.

Xiao Ming was better than Deng Chao. He made four shots in total and scored 5 points.

The third person to play was Guo Ailun.

Guo Ailun is very confident in his three-point shooting. After all, he is a guard, and Wang Yan has never shot three-pointers before.

In the first shooting point, after missing the first two shots, he made three consecutive shots and scored 4 points.

Everyone applauded and cheered. It seems that Guo Ailun's three-pointer was really good.

In the second shooting point, Guo Ailun performed normally and scored 5 points.

The shooting point in the middle was a bit abnormal, and Guo Ailun only got 2 points.

Wang Yan and other guests cheered for Guo Ailun in unison.

The female guests, in particular, changed into cheerleading costumes and danced and shouted.

Guo Ailun calmed himself down and made four shots at the fourth shooting point, scoring 5 points.

Wang Yan gave two thumbs up and praised Guo Ailun highly.

In the last shooting point, Guo Ailun performed averagely, making 5 of 3 shots and missing the flower ball, and got 3 points.

In this way, Guo Ailun scored a total of 19 points.

Although it is not ideal, it is not bad. Even in the NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest, it is not a low score.

Alian was not going to participate in this session originally, but when he saw everyone having fun, he ran over to join in the fun.

In fact, Al-Farouq Aminu’s three-point shooting is also good. Although he doesn’t shoot many times in the CBA, his hit rate is over 30%.

So Wang Yan let A-Lian "step in" and be the fourth to appear on the court.

Although Al-Farouq Aminu was very serious, his touch was not good and he finally got 14 points.

It's Wang Yan's turn to appear.

All the guests cheered.

As the host, Yu Jia had prepared an excuse for Wang Yan in advance. "As you all know, Wang Yan plays inside, and the three-point shot is just for fun, just for the show..."

The guests nodded to show their understanding.

Ever since Wang Yan obtained the system's [Novak Open Three-Point Skill], he has never tried it.

My hands were itching.

Today I have the opportunity to show off Novak's open three-pointer!
Wang Yan walked to the first shooting point, grabbed the basketball and shot it.

Boom!
It actually popped out.

Everyone's expression was a little awkward, but they were all trying to excuse Wang Yan.

"It's okay, it's okay. Wang Yan is a little nervous."

"That's normal. Three-pointers aren't Wang Yan's strong point. He's a center!"

"Wang Yan's shooting posture is so handsome!"

. . . .

Wang Yan took a deep breath, still smiling, he had found the target.

The second attack, whoosh!
It actually hit the target!

Everyone cheered and praised Wang Yan in an exaggerated manner.

Guo Ailun thought Wang Yan was just lucky, so he still believed he could beat Wang Yan.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan’s subsequent performance left him dumbfounded.

Swish swish!
The remaining three balls were all hit accurately.

Guo Ailun's relaxed expression just now froze in an instant.

Even if you have the best luck, you won’t hit them all!

At the second shooting point, Wang Yan amazed everyone again by making all five shots!

Good guy!
Sharpshooter!

Except for Guo Ailun, everyone else cheered again.

"Wang Yan is the best!"

"Wang Yan is the most accurate!"

In fact, several male guests wanted to call Wang Yan awesome.

But this is a CCTV program, so everyone was more restrained.

Wang Yan looked calm on the surface, but he was already beaming with joy in his heart.

Three-point shots are so cool!

He even looked forward to the real game.

At the third shooting point, Wang Yan deliberately missed the shot.

At the fourth shooting point, Wang Yan made five of five shots.

At the fifth shooting point, Wang Yan deliberately missed two shots.

After all, this is a variety show, so Wang Yan still has to give Guo Ailun some face.

This time, everyone was completely convinced.

"He is worthy of being an NBA superstar. Even though he doesn't shoot three-pointers normally, he is still so accurate!" Deng Chao felt incredible.

"Wang Yan hid it so well, I thought he was bad at three-point shooting!" Huang Xiaoming praised repeatedly.

A Lian admired Wang Yan very much.

He said to the camera: "NBA is NBA. Even a big center who can't shoot three-pointers can beat us!"

In order to take care of everyone's feelings, Wang Yan said modestly: "I'm lucky today. Thank you for letting me do so!"

The program crew was very satisfied with Wang Yan's performance and felt that he had a great sense of entertainment and was very sensible in his actions.

The next segment is the bullfight between Wang Yan and A Lian.

Wang Yan threw the ball to Alian and asked him to attack first.

Alian is very competitive. Although he knows that he is definitely not as good as Wang Yan, he also wants to try his best to show his abilities and not lose too badly.

As a sports channel host, Yu Jia began professional commentary.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Al-Farouq Aminu held the ball outside the three-point line, faked a move, and tried to break through from the right side.

This is his special skill.

As a big man, Al-Farouq Aminu is also quite fast.

Even on the international stage, UAE's performance is outstanding.

Unexpectedly, in front of Wang Yan, his breakthrough was too slow.

Snapped!
Alian got through, but the ball was poked down by Wang Yan's "ghost hand".

This ball was intercepted beautifully.

The guests were all surprised, but out of respect for A-Lian, they did not cheer loudly, but only exclaimed.

After Wang Yan intercepted the ball, the ball possession was changed.

Alian's face looked a little ugly. He also wanted to defend seriously and steal the ball from Wang Yan.

But Wang Yan's dribbling skills are the left-handed skills of Irving and Curry. How can Al-Farouq Aminu steal the ball?

Miso miso miso!
Wang Yan dribbled the ball skillfully with both hands, rushing left and right, and easily passed Alian several times.

Although Al-Farouq Aminu tried his best, he still couldn't touch the basketball.

During the defensive process, Alian deliberately increased the intensity, trying to use his body to force Wang Yan to drop the ball.

Al-Farouq Aminu's physical fitness is indeed good, not inferior to those of European and American players, and he is not at a disadvantage in confrontations.

But when facing Wang Yan, his body was still much weaker.

Boom!

After being hit twice, Wang Yan didn't move at all and his dribbling was still very steady.

But Alian felt a dull pain in his body.

He finally understood the gap between himself and Wang Yan.

Wang Yan played for a while, passed Alian again, and scored two points with a one-handed dunk!
Ah Lian was convinced and waved his hands and shouted: "No more playing! It's too bad!"

Everyone burst into laughter. This action of A-Lian was quite entertaining and very cute.

In fact, A Lian was very serious about the bullfight just now, because he had his own selfish motive, which was that he had always had a crush on Liu Yifei.

In another parallel world, A-Lian and Liu Yifei met through a milk advertisement in 2012 and rumors of an affair started.

But now, A-Lian still feels a little jealous when he knows that Liu Yifei and Wang Yan are a couple.

After this bullfight, Alian was completely convinced.

No matter in which aspect, Wang Yan was better than himself, so he completely gave up the idea of ​​pursuing Liu Yifei.

The occlusion variety show was very successful and the ratings hit a new high.

Not only did the fans get to know Wang Yan's personal charm through the program, but it also greatly improved the domestic basketball atmosphere.

Many people who didn’t play basketball before started playing it.

In addition to recording the program, Wang Yan also traveled and enjoyed the scenery. Under the protection of the program crew, he saved a lot of trouble.

In the following itinerary, Wang Yan held several events in BJ and Shanghai, which attracted thousands of people and caused a sensation.

Wherever he went, he was the star, overshadowing everyone else.

The People's Daily of the Celestial Empire reported in detail a series of activities of Wang Yan.

"NBA superstar Wang Yan was loved by fans after returning home, which caused a huge sensation!"

"The down-to-earth Wang Yan is the pride of our Celestial Empire!"

. . . .

A month later, the Chinese national team formally invited Wang Yan, and the first national team training camp began.

Wang Yan kept his promise and arrived at the National Sports Center on time to reunite with his teammates from China!
