After the game, the two teams had a post-match handshake.

When Sun Hao shook hands with Gasol, he wanted to touch the latter's head, but when he found that he couldn't reach it, he patted the latter's arm like he did in the opening.

Gasol contributed 13 points and 5 rebounds in this game, which was the best performance of the Barcelona team.

Gasol let out a wry smile.

No matter how good your performance is, if the team loses, you can't be happy with anyone.

"See you in the playoffs."

Gasol continued.

La Liga fixtures are played by the two teams only twice in a season.

After playing twice, if you want to play again, you can only wait for the playoffs.

However, Real Madrid and Barcelona are outstanding, and if they want to meet again, they will at least be in the semi-finals.

Gasol's words are not just a narrative, but also a battle.

Sun Hao smiled and nodded.

Don't say it, my sister-in-law feels unbearable, but sometimes it's quite hard.

Sun Hao broke the record, and the next day there were endless reports about him in Spain.

The most authoritative Spanish sports newspaper, the picture used in the game is the photo of Sun Hao's ultra-long three-point shot.

Even more interesting than the accompanying pictures is the title.

"China's Napoleon broke the ACB league record for players under the age of 18 in scoring, and Real Madrid completed a sweep against Barcelona this season."

In the title, Sun Hao gets his first nickname in Spain, a very interesting one.

Among Madrid's many attractions, there's one must-see.

That was also the first attraction that Fernandez took Sun Hao to visit, Puerta del Sol.

It is an iconic building in Madrid and a historical witness to major events in Spain.

When Napoleon conquered Europe, he fought a bloody battle with the Spaniards here, which finally kicked off the prelude to Spanish independence.

So Napoleon had a great reputation in Spain.

The reason why the media uses this nickname is that on the one hand, it is a gimmick of the media, and on the other hand, it is also related to Sun Hao's size.

Napoleon was notoriously short, and his height was exactly the same as Sun Hao's now.

So this nickname is also completely appropriate.

And compared to Sun Hao's name, such a nickname is obviously easier to spread.

Later, the nickname soon spread to the country as well.

After experiencing a previous oolong incident, accompanied by the nickname of Napoleon in China, Sun Hao's popularity in China has risen to a new level.

And this time the newspaper doesn't have to rub the heat of football anymore.

Scoring 17 points in Spain's top flight, breaking the scoring record for an under-18 player, the news carries enough weight in itself.

Sun Hao played a career masterpiece and successfully won the trust of head coach Lasso.

After that, Lasso was also relieved to play a bold double point guard tactic.

And there is also the benefit of using Real Madrid to play a double point guard strategy, which can allow Lopes to re-enter the team rotation.

In terms of individual ability, López deserves a rotation spot in terms of talent and immediacy.

Sun Hao got more playing time and made more three-point shots in the game, which also had some impact on his style of play.

The most intuitive part is that his proficiency as a "long-range marksman" has increased rapidly.

The shot in the game is affected by physical fitness, psychological pressure and other aspects, and it is definitely stronger to improve the shooting level than training.

At the same time, Sun Hao began to enrich his arsenal again.

The impact of increased basketball IQ is not only on the court, but also off the court.

He started practicing ultra-long three-point shooting in advance before, and he paid more attention to this aspect.

Of course, the arsenal is not added randomly.

When you can only fight a handjob, even if you are given a missile, you can't shoot it.

Sun Hao's practice this time is a breakthrough, and the center of gravity is the first step when breaking through.

His current ability and style of play are biased towards pitchers, but he has to do more than just be a pitcher.

In other words, he can't receive the ball and completely loses his offensive ability without a shot.

So he has to have the ability to attack with the ball, and the first step is the key to breaking through.

Many players in the NBA are strong in the first step, and Rose and Maddy are the same.

Sun Hao can't practice to that level now, but he must have it.

As a defender, he is now low in height and low in focus, and this part is also relatively easy to practice.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Sun Hao spent the remaining half of the season in the Real Madrid team.

He managed to secure his starting position in the team for half a season.

Over the course of the season, he averaged 5.6 points per game while shooting 51 percent from the field and 42 percent from three-point range.

Just look at the second half of the season, he averaged 7.3 points per game, which is already ranked fourth on the team.

Such a performance can already be described as quite good for a young player who is only 17 years old.

He also managed to help Real Madrid win the regular season in La Liga.

At the age of 17, he started the La Liga playoffs as Real Madrid, and Sun Hao also set a small record.

Of course, what made him even happier was that before the end of the season, his long-range marksman managed to reach silver!

Long Range Marksman (Silver): Effectively increases the percentage of long-range shots.

Three points is Sun Hao's main weapon on the offensive end now, and this badge improvement can bring no less help than the previous basketball IQ!

It also made him look forward to his first trip to the La Liga playoffs.

At that time, the Champions League had not yet been established, and the basketball leagues of various countries were also in conflict with the European Basketball Association, and the European Basketball League was also suspended.

The La Liga playoffs are Real Madrid's most important tournament of the year.

After finishing first in the regular season in the league, winning the title is also their only goal.

Here we have to mention the unique format of La Liga.

He's not like the NBA who plays series until the championship is determined, nor is he like the NCAA where a win-or-lose March madness is played.

It's a hybrid format in between.

There are only 17 teams in La Liga, with the top eight teams making it to the playoffs.

The eight teams that enter the playoffs will use a best-of-five series to determine the top four in the first round.

After the semifinals, it used the same single-to-one tournament as the NCAA for the semifinals and finals.

There is no absolute good or bad format for the competition, but one thing that stands out about this design is exciting.

The first round adopted series is to pick four better teams.

The semi-finals use of the single Tao competition makes the championship full of more accidents, which is naturally more exciting.

This model has also proven to be quite popular in Europe.

Every year when the La Liga playoffs enter the semi-finals, it will set off a basketball boom in the country.

In the first round of the playoffs, Real Madrid's opponent was the eighth-ranked Radar team.

Facing an opponent who is obviously weaker than himself, the Real Madrid team did not give the opponent too many opportunities.

After 4 games, except for one game where the team was not feeling good as a whole and lost away, the rest of the games were won.

The 3-1 score also reflects the difference in strength between the two teams.

Sun Hao was even better in the first round than in the regular season.

He averaged 2 three-pointers per game and contributed 9.5 points, making him the team's second-leading scorer behind Gabajosa.

That's amazing enough.

After the first round of matches, the top four of the La Liga playoffs were born: Real Madrid, Manresa, Barcelona and Alicante.

According to the first-to-fourth rule, Real Madrid's opponent in the semi-finals is Alicante, who eliminated Zaragoza 3-2 in the first round to advance to the semi-finals.

There is a gap between the two teams in terms of season performances, and if they play normally, Real Madrid will beat Alicante and then meet their opponents Barcelona and Manresa in the final.

However, it was this game that allowed Sun Hao to relive the countless "crazy March" he experienced in the NCAA in his previous life.

The so-called single Tao competition is a decisive victory.

In addition to the excitement of this kind of competition, another characteristic is that it is easy to cause upsets.

The influence of factors such as a game, feel, and state will be infinitely magnified.

March Madness in the NCAA is highly sought after by fans and is known for its upsets.

In fact, even in the NBA, there is no team that wins forever in the regular season, and there are upset games from time to time.

Because there are so many uncertainties in a game.

Real Madrid faced such a situation in the game against Alicante.

Real Madrid's feel and form are relatively average, on the other hand, Alicante is playing well under the leadership of teenager Jose Calderón.

This backup guard, who is only a year older than Sun Hao, shows the potential of a top point guard.

The control of the pace of the game, the combing of the team's tactical attack, Calderón completely suppressed Prigioni.

Coupled with the excellent touch of the Alicante team, the Real Madrid team played until the end and was able to turn the game over.

The final game on the court was 58-66.

Although Sun Hao still scored the team's second-highest 11 points, he was finally killed by the plot and failed to help the team complete the reversal.
