Chapter 61: You Really ...... Very underwhelming
The choice has been made, but it does not mean that Sun Hao's system has been upgraded.
The task of the [Little Emperor] is not only that he has to run, but also that he has to be selected.
After he came out of the system, he took out the official email account of the alliance given by the staff during the trial and submitted the registration application.
The NBA's draft picks fall into two broad categories.
The first type is automatic registration, everyone in the world, including men and women, as long as you are 22 years old, meet the draft conditions, and the NBA team wants to draft you, you can be selected!
The second type is active registration, which also refers to people aged 18~22 now.
Such people can only complete their candidacy by writing a letter to NBA headquarters or sending an email to the NBA Draft office.
Sun Hao has just turned 18 years old and belongs to the second category.
There will be a deadline for the second category of players to sign up, and there will also be a deadline for confirming their candidacy.
For example, this year is a week before the draft starts.
If you withdraw your application, you can still participate in the next year's draft.
Of course, Sun Hao has already made a choice, and it is not for him to consider such a thing as withdrawing from the election.
After making sure he had signed up, he first messaged his scouts to let them know the news, and then called head coach Lasso.
After all the phone calls were made, Sun Hao suddenly felt that he should find an agent after playing La Liga.
On the one hand, he arranges a draft trial, and he must find a network in this regard, otherwise he will have to die of busyness.
After a busy life, he knows that the most time-consuming thing in the world is communication with people.
On the other hand, he will receive many other endorsement contracts in the future, and even he will invest.
He lacks skills, and professional things have to be done by professional people.
Of course, he will take the time to research some of them, and he doesn't want to be cheated of $20 million by his agent like Duncan.
When he put his phone away, he put the draft thing aside.
Next, it was time for him to work hard to complete the first step that the [Little Emperor] had done.
La Liga champions!
This year, the Real Madrid team suffered a series of problems in the middle of the game, such as injuries and run-ins.
Although they took revenge on Alcante and swept Barcelona in the regular season, their record was not as good as last season, and they ranked second behind Barcelona in La Liga.
Third and fourth places are Alcante and Estudiantes, both of which have improved from last season.
Such a ranking means that Real Madrid will face Alcante in the semi-finals, a team that eliminated them in the semi-finals last season.
This is good news for Real Madrid.
Regular-season revenge doesn't mean much, after all, a win or loss in a regular season has a limited impact on the season.
They were eliminated in the semi-finals last season, and there is a high probability that they will meet in the semi-finals this season.
Getting up from where you fall doesn't have a better revenge script for Real Madrid.
A day later, the curtain opened on La Liga.
Real Madrid faced last year's old rivals Radar in the first round.
Beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid last season, the Redida team has the same mentality as Real Madrid, and they are also holding back their energy to make a comeback in the playoffs.
Old rivals, revenge, seem to be the main theme of La Liga's playoffs this season.
However, after the series was played, it turned out to be one thing, and if you want revenge, you also need strength.
Facing the Radar team, Real Madrid, who had just won the Champions League, played more easily than last season.
3-0, they didn't give their opponent a chance.
Real Madrid easily reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Just two days later, the Alcante team also eliminated the opponent with a score of 3-1 to advance to the final four.
The previous expectations came true, and the two teams that met in the semi-finals last season met again in the playoffs of the new season!
When old enemies meet, either I kill you or you kill you.
Lasso also attaches great importance to it, and in addition to daily training, he pulls the players to watch the video every day.
So much so that before the game, every player in the Alcante squad will be memorized.
It was in this process that Sun Hao discovered that the Alcante team had a name that he was familiar with and could no longer be familiar with.
Luis Scola.
To say that the Chinese people are most familiar with the Houston team during the Yao Mai period.
Although the Houston team has since become a mosaic team, this classic team is still the best memory.
Because Yao Ming, Aiwu and Wu, every team on that team is familiar to them, and even has their own exclusive nicknames.
"T-mac" Maddie, "Sea Lord" Hayes, "Second Uncle Huo" Juwan Howard, "Street Ball King" Alston and so on
The same goes for Scola, who is known by the nickname "Diamond".
Of course, Sun Hao also knew that Scola played in Europe most of the time, but he didn't expect Scola to run to the Alcante team!
You must know that Alcante is a Spanish team, and he has not heard any news before.
Fortunately, Scola is from the Argentine team, and there is an Argentine among his teammates.
As soon as he turned his head and asked Prigioni, he knew everything.
Scola had previously played in Argentina before following in the footsteps of Prigioni to Spain this season.
However, because of his age, he and Sun Hao have taken a completely different path, and he played in the Oro League as soon as he came.
And before he finished the season, he was promoted to the first team by the Alcante team.
Even he is now part of Alcante's rotation.
Although in terms of talent, the 20-year-old is incomparable with the 15-year-old Sun Hao, but he entered the first team in such a short time, which also proves his strength.
"What are you talking about?"
Gabajosa came over to join in the fun.
"Yog, just to remind you, you have to pay attention to his counterpoint, he is very nimble."
Prigioni reminded.
He knew Scola and knew what the latter was capable of.
"Don't worry, I can handle Ribaka, he's just a newcomer."
Gabajosa waved his hand, not paying much attention.
How strong is Scola to be better than the new Champions League MVP?
"He's different from other insiders, he's very special in his footsteps."
Sun Hao also reminded that Gabajosa's mentality is estimated to be educated in the game.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm on the inside, you still have to think more about how to fight Calderon, I heard that this guy is getting stronger again."
Gabajosa still didn't seem to care.
Sun Hao didn't continue.
One of the hardest things in this world is trying to convince people.
The ancients learned to grow wise, if they can be persuaded, this sentence will have no meaning in existing.
When the game started, Gabajosa naturally understood what he said.
Valencia, the third largest city in Spain and the second largest seaport, has 300 sunny days a year and is known as the "Pearl of the Western Mediterranean" and the "City of Sunshine".
The La Liga semi-finals are played here.
After getting off the plane, a heat wave hit, and Sun Hao felt the hot climate of the Mediterranean.
Looking at the big sun overhead and sneezing three times in a row, an idea unconsciously popped into his mind.
This place is far more than 180 days a day, and the soy sauce is absolutely reliable.
Valencia has two La Liga teams, football and basketball, and has a strong sporting atmosphere.
On the night of the matchday, the arena was full.
Real Madrid have just brought the Champions League back to Spain, and the enthusiasm of the fans is as hot as the scorching sun during the day.
During the warm-up before the game, Sun Hao saw an acquaintance on the sidelines.
Tony Parker, he went to Spain to watch the game.
He did it relatively high, and when he saw Sun Hao, he was waving frantically.
Sun Hao didn't go over, and waved to him with a smile in response.
When he finished saying hello, he focused on warming up.
Tonight's game is not just a battle for revenge for him, but a sure way to win the La Liga title.
Only win, not lose!
At the end of the warm-up, Prigioni gathered his players together for a pre-match mobilization.
This time, without Sun Hao opening his mouth, he could feel the fiery fighting spirit of the team members.
Just won the Champions League, and faced the opponent who eliminated him last season, that fighting spirit is written on his face.
The scene entered the opening ceremony, and Sun Hao noticed another change in the Alcante team at this time.
They didn't just add Scola but also the manager.
Lasso didn't say anything about this adjustment before the game, so he didn't know until the game.
And the reason that can attract Sun Hao's attention is that he also knows the new head coach.
David Blatter!
There are many coaches who have coached James, and when it comes to coaching ability, Blatter is definitely at the top of the list.
Of course, he also had the shortest time in charge.
This champion coach who led the Russian team to win the European Championships, led the Israeli Travis Maccabi team to win the Champions League, and led Russia to win his bronze medal in the Olympic Games, is now in La Liga!
Although, he still looks as young as Lasso.
The head coach decides on a team's ceiling.
Blatter's appearance also explains a lot of things.
Why did Scola get promoted to the first team so quickly, why Alcante improved significantly in the second half of the season and returned to third in the season, why Calderón got stronger again.
Tonight's game will be more difficult than expected.
After the final handshake before the game, the two teams started one after another.
Blatter gave Lasso a big gift at the beginning.
Scola, the starters!
This change of formation greatly surprised Lasso.
You have to know the rotation that Scola has been playing before!
And this is the La Liga semifinals, a single Tao match!
It takes a lot of courage for a manager.
Lasso was surprised, but didn't have time to give him adjustments.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Gabajosa turned the ball back into the Real Madrid half to officially kick off the game.
The Alcante team and the Real Madrid team have played many times, and they will focus on defending Sun Hao when they come up.
Sent people to follow closely, and when he encountered a block, he assisted in the defense on the weak side, and Sun Hao ran around and didn't get a good chance to shoot.
Prigioni called for Gabajosa to block and burst inside to split the ball.
Gabajosa received the ball and scored against Scola.
Calderón turned back to organize a wave, Real Madrid put a lot of defensive pressure, and Alcante finally smashed the frame with a shot from the outside.
Gabajo stuck to Scola for a defensive rebound.
One attack and one defense, Gabajosa had the upper hand in the confrontation.
After he gave the ball to Prigioni, he looked at Sun Hao with a smile.
The expression seemed to say that your reminder was really redundant.
Sun Hao's three-point shot in front of the court was missed, and the ball was a long rebound.
Gabajosa bounced out of the basket, grabbed the ball back, and turned around to attack a second time.
Scola tried to block and hit Gabajosa directly.
The referee's whistle blew and Gabajosa was given two free throws.
Two offenses, one scoring and one foul.
Gabajosa didn't eat goji bullwhip soup this time, and he was also brave like O'Neill on the inside.
When he got to the free throw line, Gabajosa couldn't help but speak.
"Sun, what did you tell me to be careful about yesterday?"
With that smug little expression, he sent Sun Hao to give him a slap.
Sun Hao smiled and didn't speak.
He was reminded yesterday that he certainly didn't want Scola to play well.
Now it's in this situation, it's good.
Gabajosa made both penalties.
He replicated his previous performance against Bologna Vitus, scoring four points in a row in the opening game.
Alcante still didn't have an inside shot, and Real Madrid played a defensive counterattack.
Prigioni catches the ball and breaks fast, and there are also layups!
6 to 0!
Wrapped in the momentum of the Champions League champion, the Real Madrid team gave the Alcante team a dismount at the beginning!
"Real Madrid! Real madrid! ”
The Real Madrid team at the scene began to get excited.
They were in Belgrade before and they completely lost to the Greek fans in terms of momentum.
Now back in Spain, they can't afford to lose anymore!
In the face of adversity, it was Calderón who stepped up on the side of the Alcante team.
He shook off Prigioni and burst into the free-throw line to hit a mid-range shot to help his team break the scoring drought!
But not before the Alcante fans were excited.
Looking back, Real Madrid played an elevator door tactic.
Sun Hao cut out a three-point shot, Calderon struggled to block the block, and the ball did not cover Sun Hao's arm.
"Smack!"
"Huh!"
Whistle ball scores, a 3+1!
Real Madrid fans are boiling again.
Gabajosa was even more excited, as soon as Sun Hao got up from the ground, he came over and was about to hit his chest.
"Go to Scola, go to Calderón, we'll beat them easily!"
Feeling Gabajosa's excitement, Sun Hao immediately turned around and celebrated with Prigioni.
He swore that he would never stop clashing his chest with Gabajosa because of his body fragrance.
After Sun Hao went to the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily, the Real Madrid team had a 10-2 lead!
The perfect start!
Sun Hao went to see Blatter again after retreating.
He suddenly realized that there was an age gap between the Blatter in front of him and the Blatter he knew.
Age is very important in the coaching profession because it represents experience.
Or to put it another way, the current Blatter does not yet have a manual for Scola's.
Although Gabajosa's speech was a little underwhelming, the Real Madrid team's chances of winning tonight were indeed very big.
