Taiwanese pop prince Jay Chou was among the celebrities who played in a basketball match organised by basketball star Yao Ming.
The match is part of the Yao Foundation Charity Tour to raise funds.
In one segment, the celebrities had to take on a shooting contest: for every basket made within 24 seconds, TWD10,000 (about RM1,000) would be donated to the Yao Foundation.
Jay was the first to go and the usually-composed singer quipped that he felt "more nervous than singing in a concert".
He managed to make seven shots despite being hit in the face by the boy who was passing him the balls.
The basketball superstar himself, Yao Ming also took on the challenge.
However, Yao had to shoot from a three-point line instead of the two-point line.
Although three-pointers are not his specialty, Yao still managed to get three shots in.
Jay's team later won in a friendly match between two teams.
His flashy dribbling earned him thunderous cheers and applaud from the stand, although the nervous star made quite a lot of mistakes.
