The choice has been made, but it does not mean that Sun Hao’s system has been upgraded.
The mission of the [Little Emperor] is not only to run for election, but also to be selected.
After he came out of the system, he took out the league's official email account given to him by the staff during the tryout and submitted his registration application.
NBA draft picks fall into two categories.
The first category is automatic registration. Anyone in the world, including men and women, as long as they are 22 years old and meet the draft requirements, if an NBA team wants to select you, you can be selected!
The second category is those who register voluntarily, which now generally refers to people aged 18 to 22.
Such people can only complete their participation by writing a letter to the NBA headquarters or sending an email to the NBA draft office.
Sun Hao just turned 18 and belongs to the second category.
There will be a deadline for registration of the second category of players, as well as a deadline for confirming their candidacy.
For example, this year it is one week before the draft.
If you withdraw your application, you will still be eligible to participate in the next year's draft.
Of course, Sun Hao has already made his choice, and withdrawing from the election is not something he would consider.
After confirming that he had successfully registered, he first sent messages to the scouts he had on hand to tell them the news, and then called head coach Lasso.
When Lazo heard the news, he was silent for a long time. He still held the thick thigh tightly, but the thigh flew away by itself...
However, he could only wish his disciples the best, and cursed the management in his heart, asking which bastard gave the 2+1 contract to the young overseas players!
After finishing all the calls, Sun Hao suddenly felt that he should find an agent after playing in La Liga.
On the one hand, he needs to arrange draft tryouts, and he definitely needs to find someone with connections in this area, otherwise he will be too busy.
After a busy life, he knows that the most time-consuming thing in the world is communication between people.
On the other hand, he will receive many other endorsement contracts in the future, and he may even have to invest.
He is unable to handle everything in two places, so professional matters should be left to professionals.
Of course, he would also take the time to do some research himself. He didn't want to be cheated out of 20 million US dollars by his agent like Duncan.
After putting away his phone, he put the matter of the talent show aside.
Next, he would take the first step towards completing [Little Emperor].
La Liga champion!
This year, Real Madrid encountered a series of problems such as injuries and running-in in the mid-term.
Although they took revenge against Alcante and swept Barcelona in the regular season, their record is not as good as last season and they are ranked second in La Liga after Barcelona.
The third and fourth places went to Alcante and Students respectively. Both teams have made considerable progress in strength compared to last season.
This ranking means that Real Madrid will face Alcante in the semi-finals, the 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, the impact of a regular season win or loss on the season is limited.
Last season they were eliminated in the semi-finals, and this season there is a high probability that they will meet in the semi-finals again.
Stand up where you fell . There is no better revenge script for Real Madrid than this.
One day later, the La Liga curtain opened.
Real Madrid met last year's old rival Radar in the first round.
Last season, the Radar team was defeated by Real Madrid with a score of 3-1. The mentality of the Radar team is the same as that of Real Madrid. They are also trying hard to avenge their previous defeat in the playoffs.
Old rivals and revenge seem to be the main theme of this season's La Liga playoffs.
However, after the series, the results proved one thing: revenge also requires strength.
Facing the Radar team, Real Madrid, who had just won the Champions League, played even more easily than last season.
3-0, they didn't give their opponents any chance.
Real Madrid easily reached the La Liga semi-finals.
Just two days later, Alcante defeated its opponent with a score of 3-1 and advanced to the final four.
The previous expectations have come true, the two teams that met in the semi-finals last season will meet again in the playoffs of the new season!
When our old enemies meet, either I kill you or you kill me.
Lasso also attaches great importance to it. In addition to daily training, he takes his teammates to watch videos every day.
So much so that before the game, every player on Alcante's roster knew it by heart.
It was during this process that Sun Hao discovered a name that was so familiar to him that it couldn't be more familiar appeared in the Alcante team.
Luis Scola.
The team that Chinese people are most familiar with is the Houston team during the Yao and McGrady era.
Although the Houston team later became the Mosaic team, this classic team is still the best memory.
Because of Yao Ming, people love him so much that they are familiar with every player on that team and they even have their own nicknames.
"T-Mac" McGrady, "Haye" Hayes , "Uncle Howard" Juwan Howard, "Streetball King" Alston and so on.
The same goes for Scola, whose nickname "Diamond" is well known to everyone.
Of course Sun Hao also knew that Scola spent most of his time playing in Europe, but he didn't expect that Scola would go to the Alcante team!
You know, Alcante is a Spanish team, and he hadn't heard any news about it before.
Fortunately, Scola is from the Argentine team, and there is also an Argentine among his teammates.
When he turned around and asked Prigioni, he knew everything.
Scola had been playing in Argentina before, and only came to Spain .
However, due to age issues, he and Sun Hao took completely different paths. He started playing in the Oro League right from the start.
Moreover, before the end of the season, he was promoted to the first team by Alcante.
He is even now a member of the Alcante team's rotation.
Although in terms of talent, the 20-year-old cannot compare with the 15-year-old Sun Hao, the fact that he was able to join the first team in such a short time also indirectly proves his strength.
"What are you talking about?"
Gabayosa came over to join in the fun.
"Yorg, let me remind you that you have to be careful when facing him. He has very flexible footwork."
Prigioni spoke up to remind him.
He knew Scola and knew his abilities.
"Don't worry, I can handle Ribraca. He's just a new guy."
Gabayosa waved his hands and didn't seem to care too much.
No matter how strong Scola is, can he be better than the new MVP of the Champions League?
"He is different from other inside players. His footwork is very special."
Sun Hao also reminded that Gabayosa would probably be taught a lesson in the game with this kind of mentality.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm here in the paint. You guys should think more about how to match up against Calderon. I heard that this guy has gotten stronger again."
Gabayosa still looked unconcerned.
Sun Hao didn't say anything else.
One of the hardest things in the world is trying to convince someone.
The ancients said that every failure makes you wiser. If everyone could just give advice, then this saying would have no meaning.
When the game started, Gabayosa naturally understood what he said.
Valencia, the third largest city and the second largest seaport in Spain, has 300 sunny days a year and is known as the "Pearl of the West Coast of the Mediterranean" and the "City of Sunshine".
The La Liga semi-final is here.
After getting off the plane, a heat wave hit us and Sun Hao felt the hot climate of the Mediterranean.
Looking at the big sun above his head and sneezing three times in a row, an idea popped up in his mind unconsciously.
The daily working hours here are far more than 180 days, so it is absolutely reliable to dry the soy sauce.
Valencia has two La Liga teams, football and basketball, and has a strong sports atmosphere.
On the night of the game, the stadium was packed.
Real Madrid had just brought the Champions League title back to Spain, and the fans' enthusiasm was as hot as the scorching sun during the day.
During the pre-match warm-up, Sun Hao saw a familiar face on the sidelines.
Tony Parker, he came to Spain to watch the game.
He was sitting relatively close to the front and waved frantically when he saw Sun Hao.
Sun Hao didn't go over, but waved at him in response with a smile.
After saying hello, he focused all his attention on warming up.
Tonight's game is not only a battle of revenge for him, but also a necessary step to win the La Liga championship.
Only victory is allowed, defeat is not allowed!
At the end of the warm-up, Prigioni gathered the players together for a pre-match mobilization.
This time, even without Sun Hao saying anything, he could feel the team members' fiery fighting spirit.
Having just won the Champions League, they are now facing the opponent that eliminated them last season. The fighting spirit is written all over their faces.
As the opening ceremony began, Sun Hao noticed another change in the Alcante team.
Not only did they add Scola, they also changed the head coach.
Lasso will not tell you about this adjustment before the game, so we only know about it before the game.
The reason that attracted Sun Hao's attention was that he also knew the new head coach.
David Blatt!
There are many coaches who have coached James, but when it comes to coaching ability, Blatt is definitely at the top of the list.
Of course, his coaching time was also the shortest.
This champion coach who later led the Russian team to win the European Championship, led the Israeli Maccabi team to win the Champions League, and led Russia to win the Olympic bronze medal, is now in La Liga!
Although, he still looks as young as Russo.
The head coach determines the ceiling of a team.
Blatter's appearance also explains a lot of things.
Why was Scola promoted to the first team so quickly, why did Alcante's performance improve significantly in the second half of the season and return to third place in the season, and why Calderon became stronger again.
Tonight's game will be more difficult than expected.
After completing the final handshake before the game, the starting lineups of both teams came on the field one after another.
Blatt gave Lasso a big gift at the beginning of the game.
Scola, the starting lineup!
This change of formation was beyond Lasso's expectations.
You know what kind of rotation Scola has been playing in before!
And this is the La Liga semi-finals, a single elimination tournament!
This requires considerable courage for the head coach.
Russo was surprised, but there was no time for him to adjust.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Gabayosa pushed the ball back to Real Madrid's half, officially kicking off the game.
Alcante and Real Madrid have played against each other many times, and they focused on defending Sun Hao from the beginning.
Send someone to follow closely, and provide weak-side assistance when encountering a pick-and-roll. Sun Hao ran around but didn't get any good chance to shoot.
Prigioni asked Gabayosa to play pick-and-roll and then broke into the inside to pass the ball.
Garbajosa received the ball and scored after a confrontation with Scola.
Calderon turned back to organize a wave, and the defensive pressure from Real Madrid was very high. Alcante's shot from the outside finally hit the rim and went out.
Gabayo and Saka grabbed the defensive rebound by blocking Scola.
In both offense and defense, Gabayosa had the upper hand in the confrontation.
After he passed the ball to Prigioni, he looked at Sun Hao with a smile.
That expression seemed to say that your reminder was really unnecessary.
Sun Hao received the ball in the frontcourt and the three-pointer went wide, and it was a long rebound.
Gabayosa popped out from under the basket, retrieved the ball, and turned around for a second attack.
Scola's block attempt hit Gabayosa's hand directly.
The referee blew the whistle and Gabayosa got two free throws.
Two attacks, one scored and one caused a foul.
Gabayosa didn't eat wolfberry and bullwhip soup this time, but he was as brave as O'Neal in the interior.
When he reached the free throw line, Gabayosa couldn't help but speak.
"Sun, what did you tell me to be careful about yesterday?"
That smug little expression made Sun Hao just short of giving him a slap in the face.
Sun Hao smiled and said nothing.
He was giving a reminder yesterday, and he certainly didn't want Scola to play well.
The current situation is pretty good.
Gabayosa made both free throws.
He replicated his previous performance against Virtus Bologna, scoring four points in a row at the start.
Alcante's team still failed to shoot from the inside, and Real Madrid launched a defensive counterattack.
Prigioni received the ball and made a fast break, and also made a layup!
6 to 0!
With the momentum of the Champions League champions, Real Madrid gave Alcante a warning at the start of the game!
"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 again!
In the face of adversity, it was the main player Calderon who stood up for the Alcante team.
He changed direction and dribbled past Prigioni, broke into the free throw line and made a mid-range shot, finally helping the team break the scoring drought!
But before the fans of Alcante could get excited.
Looking back, Real Madrid used the elevator door tactic.
Sun Hao cut out and took a three-point shot. Calderon tried his best to block the shot, but the ball did not cover Sun Hao's arm.
"Snapped!"
“Swish!”
The whistle blew and the ball went in, a 3+1!
Real Madrid fans were excited again.
Gabayosa was even more excited. As soon as Sun Hao got up from the ground, he came over and bumped his chest with him.
"Fuck Scola, fuck Calderon, we're going to beat them easily!"
Feeling Gabayosa's excitement, Sun Hao immediately turned around and celebrated with Prigioni.
He swore that he didn't want to bump chests with Gabayosa just because of his body odor.
Sun Hao went to the free throw line and made the free throw steadily. Real Madrid was already leading 10-2!
Perfect start!
Sun Hao went to look at Blatt again while retreating.
He suddenly realized that there was an age gap between the Blatt in front of him and the Blatt he knew.
Age is very important in the coaching profession because it represents experience.
Or in other words, Blatt doesn't have Scola's instruction manual yet.
Although Gabayosa's words sounded a bit provocative, Real Madrid's chances of winning tonight are indeed very great.
