Volume 1: The Road to the European Emperor Chapter 37 Point Guard and Shooting Point Guard
The improvement that the silver-level badge has brought to Sun Hao’s strength can be seen from his basketball IQ and long-range sharpshooter.
In other words, with this badge, his long three-pointer can become a regular weapon in La Liga!
Sun Hao's long three-pointer boosted the morale of Real Madrid.
After the first half, Real Madrid continued their momentum and launched an 8-0 offensive at the start, which directly stopped Bologna Virtus.
During this offensive wave, Sun Hao made another three-pointer.
Including the first half, he has made 4 three-pointers and scored 14 points.
This has become a new record for players under 18 in the Champions League.
The second half of the game has just begun.
After the timeout, Virtus Bologna made a substitution and Ginobili came on the court again.
The only difference from the substitution in the first half was that Ginobili was not replacing Danilovic, and Virtus Bologna used a double shooting guard lineup.
This substitution was very strange, but it also made the fans at the scene inexplicably excited.
Real Madrid uses a double point guard lineup, so we will use a double shooting guard lineup!
Ginobili attacked with the ball. He took advantage of the center's pick-and-roll and continued to break through the basket with the European step.
However, after half the game, Real Madrid had already adapted to his breakthroughs and started to double-team him in advance.
It was at this moment that something unexpected happened.
Before the double-team formed, Ginobili passed the ball behind his back to Danilovic who was running to the bottom corner.
Double-teaming is a test of a player's ability to handle the ball. Ginobili not only passed the ball, but also in such a cool way!
Danilovic received the ball and shot.
“Swish!”
He finally opened!
The cheers of the fans at the scene burst out again.
For Danilovic, and even more for Ginobili.
Who says shooting guards can't organize?
They found a treasure!
Lasso was also stunned at this time.
He looked at Sun Hao, then at Ginobili, then at Ginobili and then at Sun Hao.
A point guard responsible for scoring, and a shooting guard responsible for organizing.
Two monsters on the field...
Sun Hao was closely guarded by Ginobili in the frontcourt, and the latter's defense even went beyond the three-point line.
The ball went to Prigioni, who organized a move, but unfortunately Gabayosa failed to score.
Virtus Bologna protected the rebound and in the frontcourt, Ginobili passed the ball and ran back to get a three-point opportunity, but the ball was obviously short.
Compared to his breakthrough and passing, his current shooting ability is indeed not that good.
However, the long rebound was taken by Virtus Bologna, and the ball was passed to Danilovic, who shot a three-pointer against the defense.
“Swish!”
Go in again!
After all, he is a famous star. After adjusting himself in the first half, he found his touch again!
Virtus Bologna returned a 6-0 wave!
At this moment, the emotions of the fans at the scene were as exciting as their swaying bodies, reaching their peak.
Ginobili and Danilovic can play together and they match well together.
The situation on the field fell into a stalemate again.
Real Madrid was overtaken by Virtus Bologna several times, and the latter's tenacity was completely inconsistent with the temperament of Italy.
Just like the Spanish will never be late or absent from watching a bullfight, they are not soft at all when it comes to basketball.
The game came to the last minute in a blink of an eye.
Real Madrid and Virtus Bologna tied at 70!
Possession for Virtus Bologna.
The ball is in Ginobili's hands.
After this game, probably no one will wonder why Ginobili chose Virtus Bologna.
His position overlaps with Danilovic's, but their playing styles not only do not conflict, but are complementary!
Danilovic ran to the weak side, Ginobili broke through Prigioni directly, and passed the ball to the left at the free throw line.
Prigioni interferes with his left hand.
However, Ginobili received the ball and changed direction with a big stride.
Another Eurostep!
This move of his is almost unstoppable!
Gabayosa came over to assist in defense at the basket and blocked Ginobili's shot.
He judged this ball very accurately.
Ginobili made a big gliding shot in the air.
"Snapped!"
Garbajosa's block hit Ginobili's hand.
The referee blew the whistle.
Foul by hitter!
Although the ball did not go in, Ginobili showed his physical flexibility and got two free throws.
Amazing talent!
Life and death ball, the scene gradually became quiet.
Ginobili adjusted his breathing.
The fans at the scene could hear the sound of their own hearts pounding.
The first game of the Champions League was so thrilling, it would be inappropriate for this league not to be popular.
Ginobili took his first free throw.
“Bang!”
Didn’t get in!
There was a commotion at the scene.
The pressure of this competition is too great!
If it weren't for Ginobili's outstanding performance tonight, many people would have forgotten that he is only 22 years old.
Ginobili's second free throw.
He caught his breath, swaying his hips from side to side.
“Swish!”
The second free throw was made.
Virtus Bologna leads 71 to 70!
Real Madrid called a timeout.
After the timeout, Real Madrid played a high double pick-and-roll.
Prigioni breaks into the paint.
His breakthroughs are not as varied as Ginobili's, but he is more agile.
After successfully attracting help from the inside defense, he had a clear mind and made a close-range pass to Gabayosa.
Beautiful pass.
And the idea behind this ball is very clear, which is to attack the basket and get two points to gain a leading advantage.
However, perhaps because the space under the basket was too small, Gabayosa failed to hold the ball firmly on his first try.
By the time he had secured the ball, Virtus Bologna's inside players had already returned to defense. His back-to-back hook shot was interfered and the basketball hit the rim and bounced out!
The center forward of Virtus Bologna hit the ball out of bounds.
Real Madrid's attack was disrupted!
And they have no pause.
Lazo looked up at the time. There were 15 seconds left, and Real Madrid had 10 seconds left to attack.
There are no timeouts, so the players can only rely on themselves.
Sun Hao pulled Prigioni aside and whispered to him for a while.
Real Madrid took the ball from the sideline and Prigioni directed the game with the ball at the top of the arc.
Sun Hao cut in and out, and ran to the right three-point line with the help of Gabayosa's screen.
Prigioni's pass with some anticipation.
The pass was beautiful, but Ginobili's move around the pick-and-roll was even more beautiful. He moved like a serpent and managed to avoid the pick-and-roll.
However, Sun Hao did not wait for the pass, but took the initiative to run in the direction of the ball.
Sun Hao and Ginobili, these two are competing with each other in basketball IQ!
Sun Hao's initiative to receive the ball allowed him to widen the distance between himself and Ginobili, but his receiving position also became further outside.
It was originally at the three-point line, but now it is one meter outside the three-point line.
He shot directly after receiving the ball, and Ginobili had no time to rush over.
The audience held their breath.
At this distance... Sun Hao has already scored one, so the possibility of a second one...
“Swish!”
Before they could finish their thoughts, a crisp sound came through the loudspeaker.
Sun Hao made his second long shot of the game!
Silver level power with unlimited range!
The fans at the scene were dumbfounded.
They had really never seen anyone play basketball like Sun Hao before!
And after seeing it, they realized that the ball can be played this way!
"The Chinese Napoleon is unstoppable tonight!"
Even the on-site commentator couldn't help but sigh.
73 to 71!
Real Madrid has overtaken by 2 points!
One ball decides the outcome!
The last 6 seconds!
Virtus Bologna called a timeout!
This is also the last timeout on the court!
This time, fans could not only hear their heartbeats, but they could feel them beating out.
This game was so breathtaking.
After the timeout, Virtus Bologna has the ball in the frontcourt.
Ginobili ran over to catch the ball, but unexpectedly it was a fake shot and the ball went into Danilovic's hands.
Danilovic breaks through with the help of the center's cover!
The coach of Virtus Bologna made an unexpected move at the last moment.
And this tactic actually worked!
Danilovic, who is not good at breakthroughs, rushed to the free throw line with the ball.
Virtus Bologna, they are going to get two points and go into overtime!
Playing at home, it will be more advantageous for them to play overtime!
It was too late for Lazo to remind him, but Gabayosa showed his defensive strength with this ball.
He took a big step back and stretched out his hand to successfully block Danilovic's shooting angle!
Danilovic, after all, is not good at breakthroughs.
Danilovic had no shooting angle and could only throw the ball to the bottom corner in the air.
That's where Ginobili landed.
By forcing the ball into the hands of a player who is not good at shooting, Real Madrid's defense is already half successful.
Moreover, the quality of this pass was also very average, and Ginobili had to dive forward before he could get the ball.
There were only 2 seconds left when he got the ball, and he pulled back to shoot near the buzzer.
If a player who is not good at shooting is allowed to take such a difficult shot, Real Madrid's defense will be 80% successful!
Some fans at the scene covered their faces and dared not watch.
Virtus Bologna's tactical arrangement for the final attack was very successful, but judging from the results, this may not have been a good choice.
Ginobili's shot was hasty and the trajectory of the ball seemed a little off to the inside.
“Bang!”
The ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high.
Then fall.
“Bang!”
The ball hit the inside of the front edge of the basket again.
Then the third time.
the fourth time.
The basketball turned into a ping-pong ball and started tap dancing on the rim.
After the last note was played, the ball fell into the net.
Ginobili, with a hint of luck, made the final buzzer-beater!
Virtus Bologna won the final victory!
There was a sudden burst of cheers at the scene.
Ginobili, the new magic boy who joined the team, not only contributed a team-high 17 points tonight, but also contributed the final buzzer-beater.
He was quickly overwhelmed by his teammates.
Sun Hao glanced at the score on the scoreboard, smiled and shook his head.
No one can resist this kind of magical ball!
