Sun Hao scored 40 points to refresh a number of history, and the outside world also boasted, but his own mentality was very flat.

This is just because he just got the first step master badge and caught the Barcelona team off guard.

By the time the other teams slowly react and find a way to defend against him, it's also very likely that his performance will fall.

This has been proven in previous competitions.

However, this is also the process of improvement, and only by constantly discovering the shortcomings through the competition, and then strengthening it, can you become a real superstar.

In this regard, Kobe Bryant is the best example of this.

He's always added a weapon to his arsenal every season, and even at the end of his career, he learned from Olajuwon in the low post.

The strong are always getting stronger, and standing still is a regression for them.

Sun Hao continues to get stronger, and his performance in La Liga and the Champions League is becoming more and more consistent.

And just like last season, due to his frequent and non-stop use of pick-and-roll tactics in games, his Pick-and-Roll Master, Bronze Wall, and Pick-and-Roll Dodge badges were upgraded from Bronze to Silver before the end of the season.

These badges have significantly improved his personal strength.

He is very good at using pick-and-rolls, knows how to deal with pick-and-rolls most effectively, and also knows how to initiate tactics through pick-and-rolls.

Or to put it in one sentence, Sun Hao's style of play is becoming more and more European.

And Real Madrid also received good news soon after, Prigioni is about to welcome a comeback.

This is undoubtedly good news for Real Madrid, and the presence of Prigioni can greatly enrich the team's attacking tactics.

For Sun Hao too, Prigioni's presence can mask his weak passing problems and allow him to concentrate on scoring.

Time flies, and Sun Hao took the lead in ending the group stage journey of the Champions League.

The format of the Champions League is similar to that of the World Cup, with the first stage being the group stage, with 24 teams divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D, with six teams in each group.

After the group stage, the top four teams in each group with a total of 16 teams entered the semi-finals, divided into two groups, E and F.

According to the principle that the opponents in the group stage will not play each other again, the group stage of the rematch will be played to determine the final top four of the two groups, that is, the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

This stage has been played, and Real Madrid managed to advance to the quarterfinals with the top spot in Group E.

Their opponent in the quarterfinals is the former European Basketball League giant, Olympiacos from Greece.

This opponent has two key words, Euroleague and Ever.

The Champions League is a privately-owned competition, and this year is the first edition, and before that, there was also a competition in Europe called the European Basketball League.

That tournament was organized by the European Basketball Federation, and because it didn't involve business, it didn't have much promotion.

However, last year, because the teams were reluctant to participate in this kind of event, it was forced to stop for a year, and Sun Hao did not participate in this event.

But after all, it is also the highest league in Europe, it is this league, Olympiacos team in 1994~1997, three consecutive seasons won the European Basketball League, becoming the treble.

It was also the most glorious era of Olympiacos.

And another keyword was.

After three consecutive championships, due to the retirement of the team's core, transfers and many other factors, their strength began to weaken, and this year they barely entered the quarterfinals with the fourth place in Group F.

Against such an opposition, Real Madrid showed enough dominance.

Like last year's Radar team, they defeated their opponents with an aggregate score of 3-1 in five best-of-five games and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Prigioni averaged 3.6 assists per game in the series, Gabajosa averaged a double-double of 10 points and 11.5 boards per game, and Sun Hao averaged 15 points per game.

Three people, one assists team-high, one rebounds team-high, and one leads the team in scoring.

Although Real Madrid experienced Prigioni's injury problems in the middle of the season, their results have also been up and down.

But looking back, Sun Hao's strength grew during that time, which was a good thing.

Now that the trident is really taking shape, Real Madrid have a good chance of winning the first Champions League.

And there is also good news for Sun Hao, after a season, his long-distance marksman has been infinitely close to the gold level.

If he can break through before the end of the season, it will definitely be a huge increase in his strength.

You must know that the silver-level badge had that effect before, and the gold-level can be imagined.

After the quarterfinals of each team, the league also announced two very important awards.

Champions League regular season MVP and best rookie.

The regular season MVP was won by Panathinaikos' Zeljeko Ribaka, who averaged a double-double of 14.1 points and 11.5 rebounds per game in the group and helped Panathinaikos reach the final four.

The best rookie belongs to Sun Hao of the Real Madrid team!

Sun Hao averaged 12.6 points per game in the group, hitting 2.6 three-pointers per game, and the three-point shooting rate reached 40%, and all statistics were very outstanding.

Winning this best rookie also set a record for the youngest rookie in the Champions League.

Previously broke the Europa League single-game scoring record, and is now the youngest best rookie in the Champions League.

Sun Hao won the honor all the way, but he was afraid that he would be hated to death by young players in Europe in the future.

Because it's hard for them to break this record again.

Sun Hao won the best rookie and naturally did not forget his teammates.

He made a fortune from the World Cup before, and now he is a small rich man.

And this kind of communication is also necessary.

Players play on the field not only based on their personal ability, but also on the tacit understanding between teammates, which is inseparable from the relationship off the field.

After the Champions League enters the quarterfinals, the competition system is the same as La Liga, with a five-game elimination system for eight into four, and the semi-finals are single-top.

After a two-day break, the semi-finals are about to kick off.

Two of the four teams that have advanced to the last four are from La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The remaining two teams, one is Bologna Vitus from Italy, which is also Real Madrid's opponent in the first game of the Champions League group stage.

The other team is Panathinaikos from Greece, who have new Champions League MVP Ribaka and Dejan Bodiloga.

After leaving Real Madrid last season, the legend's next stop was Greece.

The semi-finals have also been decided, with Barcelona taking on Panathinaikos and Real Madrid taking on Bologna Vitus.

The semi-finals will be played at a third-party home stadium, with Real Madrid and Bologna Vitus playing at the Paris Bercy Stadium in France.

The expedition is imminent, and Sun Hao is also making final preparations for the competition.

Calderon's example from last year has shown that La Liga has a limited impact and that he will have to perform in the Champions League if he wants to get more attention.

In other words, whether he can lift the championship trophy will determine whether he will participate in this year's NBA Draft and whether he can complete his five-year contract.

It is very difficult and stressful, and Sun Hao chooses under heavy pressure...... Invite Prigioni and Gabajosa to the house for dinner.

The best way to release stress is to do what you love to do.

But now he doesn't have time to travel for Sun Hao, and he is still single.

So what he can do, which is to cook.

Inviting Prigioni to a meal last offseason, Sun Hao found that he liked the sense of accomplishment.

Especially the two of them affirmed his cooking skills, and they also came to the disc action.

Prigioni and Gabajosa couldn't believe it when they heard the news.

Sun Hao managed to keep their stomachs in the offseason, but when they wanted to eat again after the start of the season, they found that Sun Hao refused to come back.

So much so that they have been hungry for a season, and that's what they said when they went to Italy to play before.

Unexpectedly, Sun Hao took the initiative this time.

The two of them were more active in training, and as soon as they received the news, they went to the apartment where Sun Hao lived.

When they arrived, Sun Hao's dishes were already cooked.

This time, in addition to the bullfrog that Prigioni had in mind, he also prepared a very unique soup.

And like last time, he didn't tell the two what the soup was made of.

Although Prigioni and Gabajosa were puzzled this time, they didn't ask and drank directly.

"God, what kind of amazing thing is this, and why does it taste so good!"

Prigioni's reaction was the same as last time, this guy is a real foodie.

As for Gabajosa, the meat that had been inserted into the soup began to be eaten.

It's like collagen, glutinous and chewy.

"Is this beef tendon?"

Sure enough, he had eaten Chinese food before, and Gabajosa even knew about the existence of beef tendon.

But it's a pity he didn't guess right.

"It doesn't matter what kind of meat it is, it's delicious, is there anything more unimaginable than a bullfrog?"

As he spoke, Prigioni had already picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of meat in his mouth.

In the world of foodies, there is nothing that cannot be done.

He has learned to use chopsticks in private!

Eating chewy meat and drinking umami-flavored soup, Prigioni really didn't care what it was.

"So what is this?"

But Gabajosa is not Prigioni, he is still curious.

"Bullwhip."

Sun Hao gave an answer.

However, after hearing this, both of them looked puzzled.

They apparently did not know what part of the bullwhip was in the cow.

"The bull's raw organ."

Sun Hao gave a more direct explanation.

This time, the expressions of the two people are not to mention how wonderful they are.

Gabajosa, who had finished eating, felt his stomach stir a little.

As for Prigioni, who was still eating with relish earlier, I immediately felt that the meat in my mouth was not so fragrant.

It turns out that there really is something more unimaginable than bullfrogs......

"Goji berry bullwhip soup, one of the most nourishing soups, suitable for both men and women, nourishing yin and kidneys for men, and nourishing beauty for women."

When Sun Hao said this, he was like a roadside seller selling health products.

However, for him, a health person who has been in wolfberry tea all year round, this is by no means a fool.

"It's delicious."

After hearing this, Fernandez finished eating the meat in his mouth, and unexpectedly followed up with a new piece.

In the world of foodies, good food is a more important part than what is eaten.

Seeing that Prigioni was eating with relish, Gabajosa finally suppressed the churning of his stomach and began to eat.

Isn't it delicious to eat? Isn't it wasted if you don't eat it?

A large bowl of wolfberry bullwhip soup, most of which was wiped out by Prigioni and Gabajosa, Sun Hao only drank a little soup.

But he didn't care, watching others finish what they had cooked, it was also a good experience.

After eating and drinking, the three of them chatted for a while about tomorrow's game.

They were still haunted by Ginobili in the opening game, and this time in the semifinals, revenge was the only goal.

And this time they also made up their minds that they would not give Ginobili another chance to kill.
