There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Real Madrid's poor performance in the past has a lot to do with Sun Hao's poor form.
But tonight, Sun Hao scored right at the start!
Opening gun!
Sun Hao took the lead, but on the Barcelona team, Navarro broke through and made a layup to return the favor.
After more than a season as a starter, Navarro has shown his "explosive" potential.
Both teams scored points at the beginning of the game, showing a trend of a fierce offensive battle, which made the fans at the scene very excited.
Just like how Sun Hao was adored by fans for scoring 81 points in the EBA, things are valuable because they are rare!
Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt and continued to call on Gabayosa for pick-and-roll.
The Barcelona team still chose to change.
Gasol still rushed forward after Sun Hao made a shooting action, and Sun Hao still chose to break through on the right.
Copy round!
But Gasol was on guard this time and retreated ahead of time.
However, he still failed to defend against Sun Hao!
The speed difference between the two people is quite big!
Because of his slow speed, Gasol has been a weakness in defending smaller players since entering the NBA.
He had already judged that Sun Hao would break through on the right, but he still failed to defend against him!
Sun Hao's second breakthrough was like Iverson!
You know I'm going to go right, but you just can't stop me!
The guard who was defending Gabayosa under the basket saw Sun Hao rushing in again and quickly came over to assist.
After seeing this, Sun Hao didn't think about anything. He took another step forward and threw the ball directly into the basket.
When the guard comes to help defend, it means that Gabayosa is left open under the basket!
The pass was a little off target. Sun Hao has a very high basketball IQ and made the most correct choice, but his pass (hand) and ball (activity) were still a little lacking.
However, Garbajosa showed his talent, jumped into the air, pulled the ball back with his right hand, and then slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.
“Bang!”
A huge muffled sound was transmitted to the ears of the audience through the loudspeakers, and the stadium exploded instantly.
Aerial relay!
Sun Hao and Gabayosa made an aerial relay!
European basketball emphasizes tactics and confrontation, and most players prefer to play on the floor. Dunkings are rare, let alone alley-oops.
This offense was explosive.
Gabayosa was also very excited after the dunk, and he swung hard on the rim before landing.
And after landing, he turned around and looked for Sun Hao, wanting to give him a passionate hug.
But unfortunately, Sun Hao had already retreated.
Ever since he was hugged during the last buzzer-beater, he has been deeply impressed by Gabayosa's body scent.
"Defend! Defend!"
The fans at the scene have already started cheering for Real Madrid.
Although there were only two rounds at the beginning, both rounds were so exciting that they completely ignited their emotions.
The audience cheered loudly, and the enthusiasm of the Real Madrid players was also fully aroused. Gasol's low-post back-to-the-basket shot was directly blocked by Gabayosa!
Real Madrid controlled the ball, Sun Hao took the ball and made a quick break, shook off the defender and glided into the goal.
6 to 2!
Real Madrid gave Barcelona a warning at the start!
Sun Hao shook off the slump in the past few games and contributed 4 points and 1 assist at the start!
In other words, he was involved in all of Real Madrid's goals!
In the stands, the waves of female fans holding Sun Hao's big-head KT boards swayed more and more violently.
The worry on Lasso's face finally disappeared.
Sun Hao was in average condition, but he still chose to trust Sun Hao, and now Sun Hao rewarded him!
The team's offense went smoothly at the beginning, and their defense also went smoothly. They turned around and successfully blocked Barcelona's attack.
When Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and asked Gabayosa to set a pick-and-roll, the Barcelona team didn't know how to defend.
Gasol failed to defend Sun Hao in the previous two rounds, so it would be difficult for him to do so in the third round.
Enrique didn't say anything on the sidelines, and the players on the field didn't change their defensive style. Barcelona continued to change when facing the pick-and-roll.
But this time, Gasol's defensive actions were different from before.
He did not raise his hands, but instead spread them out on both sides and lowered his center of gravity.
This is to prevent Sun Hao from making a sudden attack!
After being attacked twice in a row, it is a normal reaction for people to defend themselves.
This time, without the assistance of the first step master, Sun Hao also saw the changes in Gasol's defense.
He took the ball without hesitation and shot it directly.
Gasol wanted to pounce after seeing this, but after all, he was so big that it took time for him to lower his center of gravity and then pounce.
By the time he rushed out, Sun Hao had already completed his attack.
The ball flew over Gasol's head, spinning in a parabola in the air.
The eyes of the fans at the scene moved with the basketball.
As the basketball approached the basket, excitement filled their eyes.
This ball.
Very positive!
Will go in!
“Swish!”
The next second, a crisp sound echoed in the stadium.
Sun Hao’s three-pointer went in!
“Sun!!”
As the live commentator shouted, the entire Barclaycard Center was in a frenzy.
Sun Hao made all three shots at the start of the game and scored 7 points!
And under his leadership, Real Madrid led Barcelona 9-2 at the start!
Incredible start!
You should know that the last time these two teams met this season, Real Madrid was suppressed by Barcelona from the start and was suppressed for the entire night!
But tonight, everything changed!
Without Prigioni, Real Madrid looked weaker, but they took the initiative on the field!
And the person who made all this change was Sun Hao!
"He was incredible tonight! Who was the last player to dominate La Liga like this, Petrovic, Sabonis, or Bodiroga?"
Sun Hao's performance at the beginning even made the commentator on the scene start praising him crazily!
But there is absolutely nothing wrong with his performance!
La Liga! A place where averaging more than ten points per game makes you a superstar. Sun Hao scored 7 points at the start!
Enrique reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect that Sun Hao, who had been in a slump in the previous few games, would suddenly explode.
After hesitating for a long time, he turned and walked to the bench to call the team's second center to replace Gasol.
Gasol looked depressed when he left the court.
He felt that he might as well chat about literature with Sun Hao at the beginning.
Sun Hao is being ruthless tonight!
Barcelona's second center is called Daniel, a British man who is only 2.06 meters tall . He is a short center with rough offensive skills but good defense.
This is done at the expense of offense in exchange for defense against Sun Hao.
Barcelona's offense was not going well at the beginning of the game, and they struggled even more after Gasol was substituted in, and still failed to score in a wave of attacks.
This means that they only scored 2 points after playing almost half a quarter!
Looking back, Sun Hao played against Daniel in a mismatch and missed the three-pointer from the outside.
As a short center, Daniel has excellent mobility and is much better at defending smaller players than Gasol.
However, the ball hit the back edge of the basket and it was a short backboard.
Barcelona had no center under the basket, so Gabayosa jumped high to grab the offensive rebound, and forced the opponent's power forward to commit a foul, earning him two free throws.
Gabayosa adjusted and made both free throws, and Real Madrid was already leading 11-2!
Barcelona was forced to call a timeout.
During the timeout, Enrique's rapid speaking speed and high decibel level fully reflected Barcelona's situation.
With such a one-sided start, if no one steps up, they will probably be swept away by Real Madrid in one go!
After the timeout, the person who stood up was Navarro.
He took advantage of his teammates' pick-and-roll to make a quick stop and three-pointer from the outside.
The ball's parabola is very high.
“Swish!”
The ball fell heavily into the net like a bomb!
Real Madrid adjusted its offense at this time, trying to force Daniel into the inside.
Unfortunately, Gabayosa's powerful attack failed to score, and the rebound was taken by Daniel.
After Barcelona controlled the rebound, they launched a direct defensive counterattack. Navarro took the lead, catching the ball and dodged Trinidad's defense in the air and made a layup!
Barcelona narrowed the score to 7 to 11!
Although Gasol was forced to be substituted, Barcelona is stronger this season than last season, and it is not as easy to defeat them as last season.
And more importantly, after Daniel came on, Sun Hao’s mismatch advantage was not that great.
Real Madrid's offensive focus shifted , but the consecutive attacks were not successful.
In turn, Navarro made a sudden pass to assist his teammate to score.
9 to 11!
Barcelona counterattacked Real Madrid with a score of 7-0, narrowing the gap to just 2 points!
Navarro showed his progress, contributing 5 points and 1 assist in this offensive wave!
You have Napoleon, I have bombs!
This time it was Lazo's turn to feel something was wrong, and he reached out and called a timeout.
"Sun, continue to play pick-and-roll with Yoger."
During the timeout, he chose to change the tactics back, and the team's offense was completely lost during this period.
Sun Hao nodded.
After the timeout, Sun Hao took the ball to the frontcourt and called on Gabayosa to continue the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and Barcelona continued to make substitutions.
Enrique's expression was calm again at this time. With Navarro on offense and Daniel on defense, Barcelona was considered to be stable at this stage.
Sun Hao glanced at Daniel and broke through on the right.
Daniel retreated early and Sun Hao failed to break through.
However, Sun Hao didn't seem to want to take a step forward. He dribbled the ball back to the left, then changed direction and broke through from the left.
Cross step!
Thanks to the early ball control training in the system, Sun Hao's ball control ability is very stable, and this crossover step was used quite beautifully.
Daniel didn't expect Sun Hao to do this. When he turned around to defend, Sun Hao had already broken into the inside from the left.
Sun Hao faced off against the opposing defender and shot, the ball went around the rim and fell into the net!
At the critical moment, it was Sun Hao who stood up and scored!
The female fans at the scene screamed excitedly.
Sun Hao will march straight in tonight and attack Huanglong, unstoppable!
Sun Hao's crazy performance made the fans at the scene extremely excited, but it also gave Barcelona head coach Enrique a headache.
When Daniel was brought on before, I thought I had limited Sun Hao’s mismatched one-on-one play, but I didn’t expect Sun Hao to have so many offensive methods!
Although he is not so skilled in the crossover step, at least he has the ability!
This Asian player looks to be only about 1.7 meters tall, but his talent is incredibly high.
You know, he is only 17 years old now!
Not to mention La Liga, there has never been such a thing in European history.
Sun Hao is really the first one created by God!
Navarro was trapped in the frontcourt and Barcelona's attack failed.
Sun Hao's three-pointer missed, but Gabayosa scored a tip-in.
Barcelona's attack had not started yet, Real Madrid launched a fast break, and Sun Hao assisted his teammates to score another goal in the fast break.
17 to 9!
Barcelona finally narrowed the score, but after Real Madrid's 7-0 offensive, the gap was widened again!
Facts have proved that once Real Madrid's offense could not be restricted, Daniel's weakness in attack was infinitely magnified!
Enrique reached out and touched the sweat stains at the corners of his eyes.
Like Lazo, neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona can afford to lose the game, and the losing side will be under tremendous pressure after the game.
That kind of pressure comes not only from the fans, but also from the management.
You have to know that in the basketball league, the average career of a head coach is very short.
The team changes coaches when their performance is not good, the star player changes coaches when he is in a bad mood, and the boss changes coaches when he is in a bad mood.
Coaches have always been the first person to take the blame since ancient times.
After the first quarter, Real Madrid led Barcelona by 12 points with 25 to 13.
Sun Hao scored 12 points in a single quarter!
The situation is completely one-sided.
In the second quarter, Barcelona, ​​led by Gasol, narrowed the gap to 6 points.
But when the main players returned, Real Madrid widened the gap again.
At the end of the first half, the score was 43 to 28, Real Madrid had expanded its lead to 15 points!
Sun Hao scored another 6 points in the second quarter and scored 18 points in the first half, which was close to half of the team's score!
A 15-point lead, coupled with the fact that Barcelona could not solve Sun Hao's defensive problem.
In complete contrast to the first match between the two teams this season, Barcelona is in a very bad situation in this game!
After the half-time break, the fans' eyes were all on Barcelona's bench.
Barcelona's starting lineup in the second half attracted attention.
Judging from the first half, if Gasol continues to use him, he will not be able to limit Sun Hao's performance; but if Daniel continues to use him, the team's offense will be a big problem again.
It’s a difficult choice for Enrique, who is confused.
The second half of the game began, with starters from both sides coming on the field one after another.
It was at this time that fans saw Barcelona's choice.
Gasol still starts!
Enrique responds to ever-changing situations by remaining constant!
In the second half, Barcelona attacked first. Navarro and Gasol set a high pick-and-roll. Gasol received a return pass from Navarro and made a high jump shot.
“Swish!”
The basketball landed safely in the pocket.
Although Gasol didn't play much in the first half due to defensive issues, his offensive state still looked very good.
In Real Madrid's offense, Sun Hao and Gabayosa set a pick-and-roll, and then attacked Gasol in a mismatch.
Gasol's defense was very far back, giving Sun Hao space to shoot three-pointers.
Sun Hao's three-point shot hit the rim and the long rebound was protected by the Barcelona team.
Enrique let out a long sigh when he saw this.
He chose to let Gasol continue to start in the second half, just to compete with Real Madrid in offense, betting on Sun Hao's three-point touch, and betting that the latter had no bullets in his gun.
Judging from the offense and defense after returning in the second half, he made the right bet.
In Barcelona's frontcourt attack, Gasol held the ball in the low post and shot wide when he turned around, but he used his long arms to tip in the ball, causing Gasol to foul Gabayosa and got two free throws.
Although he has some obvious problems in defense, his offensive talent is really overflowing.
He made both free throws despite the interference from the crowd, and scored four points at the beginning of the second half, helping Barcelona narrow the gap to 11 points.
Enrique couldn't help but clench his fist and cheer. The choice he made in the second half was really wise!
But this idea just came to his mind.
“Swish!”
Facing Gasol's same defensive style, Sun Hao still resolutely took a three-pointer.
This time the three-pointer went into the net and Sun Hao got his 21st point of the game!
Enrique, you made a wrong bet!
The fans at the scene cheered again. If he continued to play like this, it was certain that Sun Hao would break his own single-game scoring record.
In other words, they can witness Sun Hao 's career night again!
Gasol then looked back at Enrique on the sidelines, asking with his eyes whether he should change his defensive strategy.
Enrique motioned to continue.
Barcelona attacked in the frontcourt, and Gasol's strong attack was blocked by Gabayosa.
Looking back, Sun Hao's three-point shot missed and Barcelona protected the rebound.
Both teams failed to score once in their attack, and then Navarro was fouled and made one of two free throws.
But in the next round, Sun Hao took another three-pointer from the outside, and the ball bounced twice on the rim before going in!
His fifth three-pointer of the game! His 24th point of the game!
crazy!
Although he can't say that he hits every shot, Sun Hao has made 5 of 8 shots from beyond the three-point line, and his hit rate is quite terrifying!
And the score difference on the field was widened to 16 points!
This means that Barcelona chased for most of the quarter, but Sun Hao quickly threw in two three-pointers, and all the chasing was in vain!
Enrique stood there for a long while.
Sun Hao's touch actually declined compared to the first half. In the first half, Sun Hao made 3 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line, and in the second half, he made 2 of 4 shots.
But this hit rate is enough to dominate the game!
This damn Chinese Napoleon is so short, why is he so accurate!
Enrique, lost the bet!
But he didn't lose unfairly.
Fearing Sun Hao's breakthrough, Gasol didn't dare to defend too far outside.
This gives Sun Hao enough space to shoot from the outside.
The hit rate in the first half has already reflected his touch. Facing this kind of defense, there is only one thing Sun Hao needs to do: keep shooting!
Gasol's tip-in in the frontcourt continued to increase points for Barcelona. Looking back, Sun Hao wanted to shoot again from outside the three-point line.
Gasol is getting angry. This is never going to end!
He pounced forward and disrupted Sun Hao's shot.
But the foul was too obvious, the referee blew the whistle, and Sun Hao got three free throws!
Although it’s not three points, there is a chance to get three points!
Sun Hao went to the free throw line and adjusted his breathing.
First penalty, yes.
There was also a second penalty.
All three free throws made!
He has already scored 29 points!
The third quarter is not over yet!
On the Barcelona bench, players were holding their heads or wrapping themselves in towels, already feeling despair at the scene before them.
Sun Hao scored 81 points in the EBA league before. Sorry, EBA is full of kids.
Sun Hao scored 32 points in Plata before, but it doesn’t matter, that was only in the third-level league.
But now it is in La Liga, the first league in Spain and one of the eight major basketball leagues in Europe!
29 points in less than three quarters!
Sorry to bother you!
In the desperate situation, it was Navarro who stepped forward for Barcelona.
He first hit a life-saving three-pointer, then he suddenly broke out and stole the ball in defense, and caused a defensive foul on a fast break.
After making two free throws, he scored 5 points in a row, narrowing the gap to 12 points!
Sun Hao was in hot form tonight and Navarro also performed well!
Sun Hao scored 29 points, but Navarro also scored 16 points!
The two teams had their own offense and defense in the second half of this quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the score difference remained at 12 points.
In this quarter, Barcelona tied with Real Madrid!
Although Enrique was troubled, his idea was correct.
If you can't restrict Sun Hao, then just let go and play offensively.
Even in the fourth quarter, Barcelona beat Real Madrid by 2 points.
But the key problem is that they can hold on but can't catch up!
They never found a way to limit Real Madrid or limit Sun Hao's scoring!
The final score was 83 to 73.
Real Madrid scored 83 points, and Sun Hao alone scored 40 points!
He alone scored half of the points!
Gasol was penetrated like a sieve and shot like a hornet's nest tonight!
It felt like being pressed against the wall and being beaten hard all night long.
When the final whistle blew, his expression was the most helpless in history.
He really couldn't defend against Sun Hao tonight, but Enrique made him switch defense all night.
Gasol was depressed, but the fans in the stadium were extremely excited.
Not for anything else, just because of Sun Hao's score.
40 points, not only broke the La Liga single-game scoring record, but also broke the European League single-game scoring record!
"Napoleon! Napoleon!"
There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and the fans' excitement was beyond words.
At this moment, Sun Hao is the best scorer on this continent!
