"us……"
During the timeout, Yannakis rarely knew what to say.
This timeout was called because Real Madrid was gaining momentum. In fact, he had not yet found a tactic to deal with the elevator door.
After waiting for two or three seconds, he came to his senses and picked up the tactical board when he saw that all the players were looking at him in confusion.
"Players here, get ready to go over and help defend..."
There is no countermeasure tactic, but it is not impossible to defend. After all, Yannakis has seen big scenes.
After the timeout, it was Ribraca who stood out for Panathinaikos. He received a pass from Bodiroga and scored 2+1 on Gabayosa.
The strength of the new MVP!
The Greek fans started celebrating again. This time they clapped their hands and roared together, which was very powerful.
It has to be said that their ways of cheering are varied.
With the free throw made by Ribraca, Panathinaikos widened the gap to 7 points again!
It’s not easy for Real Madrid to turn the score around!
Sun Hao continued to run towards the elevator door in the frontcourt.
This time Panathinaikos responded.
When Sun Hao ran back to the three-point line, the player who was originally defending Prigioni on the weak side had already rushed to his side.
This is a prediction that Real Madrid will still use the elevator door tactics, and it is also a prediction that Sun Hao will make the final move!
Sun Hao has already taken two consecutive three-pointers. It is not difficult to predict this.
This is also the response that Yannakis has no counter tactics!
Sun Hao will have a hard time shooting this ball!
However, after receiving the ball and seeing that the defense was in place, he did not force a shot like he did in the previous singles, but directly passed the ball back to Prigioni!
Because the elevator door pick-and-roll occurred at the free throw line, a wall trapped all the players in the restricted area.
Prigioni has an open three-point opportunity.
He adjusted his shot, and by the time he shot, the inside player had broken free, but it was too late.
Prigioni adjusted his three-point shot.
“Swish!”
The basketball went into the net!
Prigioni's three-pointer, too!
This ball looks very much like the scene where Curry passes the ball to Thompson after being double-teamed!
A mature set of tactics will evolve with many details, which is why tactics are really difficult to master.
Otherwise, if others adjust their defense at will, your tactics will be ruined.
Due to lack of time for training, it is impossible for Real Madrid to master tactical evolution all at once, but the tacit understanding between the trident makes up for this!
Sun Hao knew that Prigioni would be there after passing the ball, and Prigioni also knew that Sun Hao would choose to pass the ball after being assisted and was ready to receive the ball!
Bullfrogs and bullwhips are not eaten for nothing!
While retreating, Prigioni and Sun Hao took the initiative to high-five.
Yannakis was already feeling uncomfortable with his failure to cope with the situation, and now when he saw the two showing their affection, he suddenly became angry and yelled at his teammates.
Although he has excellent coaching skills, he is still less than 40 years old.
Libraca went straight to the inside and made a strong shot, but he was finally defended by Gabayosa and the rebound was also taken away.
Yannakis' roar did not work, but rather had the opposite effect.
Sun Hao's fast break missed, but Trinidad followed up and grabbed the offensive rebound and returned to Prigioni to reorganize the game.
There was another elevator door, and this time Sun Hao got out even faster.
And with the experience from the previous round, the player defending Prigioni was obviously hesitant when assisting in defense.
The effect of Sun Hao's one-minute rapid-fire training was not in vain, because this hesitation had already given him the opportunity to shoot.
His shot had a very straight trajectory.
“Bang!”
Unfortunately, the ball finally hit the front of the basket.
Yannakis' heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, even the most accurate shooters can miss sometimes.
Sun Hao failed to seize the three-point opportunity this time.
But in the next second, Gabayosa jumped high to grab the offensive rebound and scored directly on the second attack!
The score difference has been narrowed to 2 points!
The core of the elevator door tactics lies in the pitcher, but the pitcher is not everything.
Because when the elevator door is formed, it will form a natural position on the free throw line. When the pitcher shoots the ball, this position is useless and may even affect the player's retreat.
But when the pitcher fails to throw the ball in, this positioning becomes crucial, because the fourth and fifth positions are blocking at the same time, and the chance of getting the frontcourt rebound is very high!
This is also the reason why it is so easy for Green to get a triple-double on the Warriors. His ability is one aspect, and tactical bonus is also a very important aspect.
Yannakis lost his temper at this time.
He felt that he had broadened his horizons today.
This tactic looks simple, but it is much more difficult to defend than you think.
At the crucial moment, Panathinaikos still looked to Bodiroga, who once again whipped Trinidad and made a mid-range shot from the free throw line.
The current European emperor is very stable!
The game then fell into a long stalemate.
Real Madrid doesn't have much to do with Bodiroga, the current European champion, and Panathinaikos also has no way to deal with this elevator door that suddenly appeared.
The offensive situation that Lazo and Real Madrid had been expecting before the game finally appeared in the second half.
With fans from both sides cheering one after another in the air, the difference between the two teams always remained between 2 and 5 points.
The suspense of this game is destined to remain until the last moment.
However, it was this kind of scene that made the fans at the scene more and more excited.
This kind of game is worthy of the Champions League final!
In the last quarter, Bodiroga led the team to a climax to widen the score, but Sun Hao made three consecutive three- pointers to catch up!
Amid cheers, the two teams tied at 72 with 1 minute and 24 seconds left in the game!
(Huh! Finally it’s not one minute left! 24 seconds more)
Panathinaikos has the ball!
Bodiroga holds the ball!
The godly man, accompanied by the roaring cheers of Greek fans, launched another breakthrough after getting the ball.
Real Madrid didn't dare to double-team at this time.
Who dares to double-team Magic Johnson? Even if he is white!
Trinidad was ruthlessly trampled once again. After being passed, he tried to grab the jersey to commit a foul but failed.
Bodiroga broke into the inside, turned around and shot...and it went in!
74 to 72!
A crucial two-point lead.
Russo called a timeout.
The more crucial the game becomes, the more the ability of a .
Bodiroga is God at the critical moment!
Lazo's response was still the elevator door. This tactic helped them get through the entire difficult second half and helped them tie the score.
But when he came back, Sun Hao was blocked by someone before he even caught the ball.
After playing for the second half, Yannakis finally figured out how to deal with it.
Because the end point of this tactic is basically Sun Hao. As long as Sun Hao is killed in advance, this tactic will be mostly broken!
This is indeed the case. Because there had been no previous training, Real Madrid's elevator door was a half-finished product and not evolved enough.
By the time Panathinaikos reacted, Sun Hao had no chance to attack.
The Greek fans on the sidelines have started to get agitated.
Although it was a little late, it was timely!
After the pick-and-roll between Prigioni and Garbajosa, he broke through for a layup and threw himself into the paint like a bomb.
But his physical confrontation was not enough.
His layup slipped out of the basket and the referee didn't even blow the whistle at the last moment!
Libraca grabbed the defensive rebound and Panathinaikos called a timeout!
In the last 35 seconds, Panathinaikos was leading by two points and still had possession of the ball!
They are going to win the first Champions League!
The cheers of the Greek fans at the scene have reached their climax.
They only have 35 seconds left to win the championship!
"The loss is my fault..."
When he came off the field
If that goal had been scored, Real Madrid's current situation would not be so passive.
The other team members didn't react either. They knew it wasn't Prigioni's fault, but the current situation left them no time to comfort him.
During the timeout, Lazo arranged his defensive tactics.
Because Real Madrid's timeout had been used up, he also arranged the finishing tactics to finally get the ball.
Sun Hao's three-pointer with the ball.
European basketball is about teamwork, but just like Yannakis passing the ball to Bodiroga, when individual abilities are good enough, the team is just an auxiliary.
Sun Hao's personal ability has been proven in this game, and Lazo put him on the same level as Bodiroga.
As for whether he can score the goal, that depends on Sun Hao's ability.
After the tactics were arranged, the players were ready to go on the court.
Seeing that the players were still as depressed as when they left the field, Sun Hao reached out and called out to everyone.
"Remember, the game is not over until the final whistle blows. We can be defeated, but we will never, ever give up."
Sun Hao repeated what he said during the halftime.
Same words, different situation, but this time it is more profound.
Because they really got to this point, the game was about to end, they were still 2 points behind, and they didn't have the ball. If they couldn't defend this round, they would lose.
Prigioni was the first to react. He patted his chest and raised his hands.
What he said just now was somewhat demoralizing.
After Sun Hao's words and Prigioni's actions, the team members raised their hands one after another.
"Real Madrid!"
With a roar, the players' emotions clearly returned!
Now, it depends on whether they can hold off Panathinaikos' final attack.
Or to be more precise, whether we can defend against Bodiroga's final attack.
After the timeout, Panathinaikos advanced to the frontcourt and the ball quickly fell into Bodiroga's hands.
Bodiroga was pressing the time, and after Trinidad failed in a steal, he focused on preventing his breakthrough.
Compared to three-pointers, breakthroughs are obviously Bodiroga's preferred option.
With about 15 seconds left, Panathinaikos launched an attack.
Just at this moment, an unexpected scene happened.
Bodiroga actually passed the ball!
He switched from playing with the ball to playing without the ball!
This tactical change came suddenly and unexpectedly.
Sun Hao was also surprised, but when he thought that he was facing a top coach like Yannakis, it seemed reasonable.
Bodiroga cuts in and out without the ball.
After a switch of defense, Sun Hao faced off against Bodiroga in the low post.
Bodiroga asked for the ball with his back to the basket, and the height difference made it seem like he was ready to swallow Sun Hao up at any time.
The rest of the Panathinaikos team cooperated as well, including Libraka, and everyone else pulled to the far end.
In this kind of space, Real Madrid's double-team couldn't get through because they were afraid of Bodiroga's pass.
Sun Hao’s strength is pretty good, but with this height difference, he can basically score as long as the ball goes in.
Everyone on the field knew this, and Trinidad was trying hard to put pressure on the opponent's defenders.
His pressing did work, forcing the opponent to pass the ball inside with a high lob.
But the ball was still passed in.
Bodiroga opened his arms to catch the ball.
Just at this moment, something happened that no one expected.
Sun Hao, who was originally behind Bodiroga, suddenly moved off the bench, then suddenly rushed out from the side and jumped up to grab the ball.
This set of actions was very coherent, and it was obvious that Sun Hao had had this idea a long time ago.
If it were someone else, they would have fallen down after losing their balance.
But Bodiroga managed to stand firm with his excellent body control and reached out to grab the ball.
Because of the height difference, he could reach higher than Sun Hao could if he jumped.
However, because it was a high lob, it fell slowly, and where Bodiroga's hand was stretched was the highest point, so he couldn't exert the strength to jump.
But Sun Hao was still rising, and then he grabbed the falling basketball in mid-air.
Sun Hao's fatal steal!
When there were only 6 seconds left to the end of the game!
The fans at the scene were stunned.
No one, including the Panathinaikos players on the field, could have imagined that Sun Hao, who is 1.8 meters tall, could jump so high!
Sun Hao stole the ball and landed, then rushed forward with one brisk step. His agile figure was like a cheetah.
Lasso’s tactical arrangement is no longer important, he just wants to charge now!
The Panathinaikos players reacted and shouted at each other to defend.
If Sun Hao had scored this goal, the good situation would have been ruined in an instant.
But Sun Hao’s speed... is very fast!
The fast break terminator badge assist was like putting two Hot Wheels under his feet.
Only the outermost defender followed.
The two of them went from the midfield to the front court in the blink of an eye.
"Three points! Three points!"
Yannakis was jumping and shouting at this time.
He knew Sun Hao's offensive habits, and he had seen the pull-up three-pointer scoring method many times in the video.
Of course the most important thing is that if Sun Hao made a three-pointer, Panathinaikos would be defeated directly!
But if it was two points, even if Sun Hao really scored the ball, the worst result would be overtime.
And now there are only three or four seconds left until the end of the game. Sun Hao is likely to shoot a three-pointer because that will ensure that the ball is shot before the whistle blows.
The Panathinaikos defender slowed down after hearing the shout.
But he soon discovered that Sun Hao did not slow down!
Yannakis' judgment was wrong, Sun Hao wanted to get two points!
The defender tried his best to catch up, but the original top defense turned into a chase defense.
Sun Hao rushed to the basket and made a layup.
His idea was simple, get two points, go into overtime, and let the game continue!
The defender chased Sun Hao fiercely. He didn't want the victory that was originally in his hands to turn into another fierce battle in the blink of an eye.
He is not as fast as Sun Hao, but he is taller and has a better wingspan. When Sun Hao jumps, he also jumps up to block the shot.
"Don't break the rules!"
Yannakis, realizing what might happen, yelled from the sidelines.
But it was too late.
Sun Hao steadied himself in the mid-air confrontation, but the defender's hand hit Sun Hao's arm directly, and he couldn't control his body, so he pushed Sun Hao out of the court.
Sun Hao lost his balance in the air, but he still threw the ball before that.
There was a tumble and fall, and even though Sun Hao took protective measures after landing, he still rolled directly to the back row of the audience seats.
The Real Madrid fans at the scene were all sweating.
The referee on the sidelines paused for a moment and then blew the whistle.
It is right to give the game to the players at the last moment, but there is a bottom line to the penalties. The action just now was too dangerous.
If it wasn't in a European arena, it would have been a direct foul.
“Swish!”
Just when everyone's attention was on Sun Hao, a crisp sound came from the loudspeaker.
Sun Hao made a hook shot before flying out and sent the ball into the basket!
This is a 2+1!
2+1 almost at the buzzer!
Sun Hao was helped up by the spectators, and he jumped on the spot in excitement after seeing the goal.
Thanks to his quick reaction, excellent physical fitness, and professional protective movements, he avoided getting hurt.
His first reaction when he got up was to find the defender to settle the score, but he forgot about it in the excitement after seeing the ball go in.
He just wanted to score the ball into overtime!
Unexpectedly, the opponent's guard JR Smith was possessed and made the most fatal mistake at the last moment!
Now, he has the chance to win the game with a free throw!
The defender held his head in disbelief.
Yanaski looked helpless.
The foul was so obvious that he didn't even want to try to appeal.
The Real Madrid fans at the scene went wild, shaking their bodies, waving their fists and shouting.
Originally, they all stepped out of the cliff and were about to face the judgment of death.
But they finally found out that it was an angel who came!
From hell to heaven, it only takes a few seconds!
Now, they still have the last chance to kill!
Sun Hao’s additional penalty!
The referee went to check the final time and set the clock back to 0.9 seconds.
Because Panathinaikos has no more timeouts, this basically means that Sun Hao's final free throw determines the winner of this tournament!
I’m afraid no one could have imagined this ending!
But, this is the last ball.
Sun Hao went to the free throw line.
The Real Madrid fans at the scene quieted down, but the Greek fans could no longer be stopped.
Fireworks filled the sky, and some excited male fans behind the basket even started to take off their clothes, using their white flesh to distract from the view.
At this moment the entire stadium was filled with noise.
It was definitely a stressful free throw.
Either a buzzer beater or overtime.
Sun Hao took a deep breath. Although it couldn't block out the explosive interference sound in his ears, he gradually calmed down.
After all, he has experienced several NCAA March Madness events.
Moreover, they were eliminated in the La Liga semi-finals last year and were defeated by Virtus Bologna in the regular season this season.
Compared to those times, at least now, he has the initiative.
Bend your knees, raise your hands, straighten your arms, and flick your wrists.
Sun Hao repeated the actions that he had trained countless times in the system.
The basketball was pushed out and waltzed through the air.
“Swish!”
After a moment of silence, the next second, the entire stadium was filled with the cheers of Real Madrid fans.
Panathinaikos served the ball from the backcourt, but there was not enough time. Bodiroga, who received the ball, was interfered by Prigioni and failed to complete the shot!
Sun Hao raised his hands high and all his Real Madrid teammates rushed towards him.
He scored the winning goal against Panathinaikos and helped Real Madrid win the Champions League!
"Real Madrid is the champion! The new king of Europe is born!"
Amid the explosive cheers, the commentator on the sidelines couldn't help but shout excitedly.
The new European emperor he mentioned is not even 18 years old!
