Despite a bad start, Blatt was decisive and called a timeout.
Sun Hao went off the field and took a look at the bench.
Blatter was not panicking and had already taken the tactical board and prepared to adjust the tactics.
A good coach can be seen from some details. There is a reason why Blatt was able to grow to his current level.
After the timeout, Calderon advanced the ball to the frontcourt and directly signaled to move away.
Scola quickly dropped to the low post and the ball was quickly passed in.
Gabayosa looked slightly excited at this time.
It felt like my girlfriend had taken off her clothes and was just about to say, "Come and have sex with me."
But it's normal for him to have such a reaction.
Sun Hao's words yesterday were very tactful, but in his opinion, the meaning was that he was not capable.
Men, how can you say no!
Especially in front of acquaintances.
He now can't wait to show his prowess in front of Sun Hao.
But unfortunately, he wilted right from the start.
After receiving the ball, Scola leaned against him without any effort, just moving his feet left and right and turning in circles on the spot.
The moment Garbajosa tried to block the shot, Scola turned around and the latter scored lightly by hitting the backboard.
There was a commotion on the sidelines.
Lasso also looked surprised.
The step just now...Gasol couldn't do it either.
Although this new player named Scola is not very good at defense, his footwork is really good.
"Yorg..."
Sun Hao wanted to go over and remind him.
"It was a mistake. It was a mistake just now."
But before he could open his mouth, Gabayosa pushed back.
He just won't give up.
Sun Hao was double-teamed when he received the ball in the frontcourt, so he passed the ball to Prigioni, who then passed it to Gabayosa.
Scola's footwork is very experienced, but his defense is really not that good. Gabayosa has a big advantage in this matchup.
Gabayosa received the ball, and this time Alcante's weak side defense arrived in advance.
There was too little space for Gabayosa to pass the ball under the basket, and his turning hook shot hit the rim and went out.
Scola got into position and reached out to grab the rebound.
Keeping your feet close to the ground, blocking out positions and catching rebounds, this is the standard floor-based play.
Real Madrid's attack was in vain.
While retreating, Sun Hao looked at Blatter again. He felt that his previous view of Blatter was inaccurate.
On the offensive end, look for strong points in the interior to score points, and on the defensive end, switch from man-to-man defense to weak-side assist defense.
This timeout adjustment was timely and effective. Even at Blatt's age, he already possesses top-notch coaching abilities.
This is reasonable if you think about it carefully. Blatter has coached in Europe for nearly 20 years and has won 14 or 15 championships of varying sizes.
This achievement indirectly proves that he is also a genius in the field of coaching.
This attack and defense made the Alcante fans on the sidelines proud.
Scola continued to ask for the ball in the frontcourt, and Calderon continued to pass the ball inside.
When his teammates wanted to assist Gabayosa in defense, they were scolded back.
He was determined to prove himself.
Scola continued to post up with the ball.
This time, Gabayosa did not block the shot easily. He lowered his center of gravity and did not give Scola the opportunity to turn to the basket easily.
His defense is also one of the best in La Liga, which is also the source of his confidence.
However, Scola did not stop, he turned towards the free throw line and made a hook shot.
Gabayosa had the balance to pounce in time.
“ Swish!”
Scola's shot goes in again!
He scored twice in a row against Gabayosa!
The Alcante fans on the sidelines cheered again, while the Real Madrid fans were very agitated.
There is no need to say much about Gabayosa's defensive ability. He is an absolute megastar in the interior, a pillar that supports the sky.
But now facing the newcomer Scola, he seemed a little helpless!
"Get him out of the penalty area."
Sun Hao gave Gabayosa direct advice at this time.
Garbajosa nodded.
He did want to prove himself before, but reality has taught him a lesson.
He is not the kind of person like Cousins ​​who, when he gets angry, even the gods and elders have to give way to him, and the person who was talking to him was Sun Hao.
The consequence of offending Sun Hao... is that you won’t have any lunch to eat.
Prigioni's breakthrough layup in the frontcourt missed, and Real Madrid fell into a scoring drought.
Alcante advanced to the frontcourt, Scola wanted to go to the low post again, but soon found that Gabayosa would not let him in.
At this time, his weak point was exposed and he couldn't squeeze in, so he finally tried to turn around and cut to the basket.
But there was someone under the basket, and Sun Hao in front of him kept waving his hands to interfere with Calderon's passing vision, so the latter did not dare to pass the ball easily.
The Alcante team failed to execute their tactics this time and their final shot missed the target.
After Scola scored twice in a row, Real Madrid defended!
After grabbing the defensive rebound, Real Madrid launched a fast break.
Sun Hao took the lead, took the ball and flew into the air, gliding and scoring the goal!
12 to 6 !
Real Madrid broke the scoring drought through defensive counterattack!
In Alcante's frontcourt attack, Scola continued to try to get the ball in the low post, but Gabayosa closed the door.
After seeing this, Calderon directly signaled him to ask for the ball from the high position of the free throw line.
The ball went in, Scola moved to the free throw line, turned around and squeezed past Gabayosa for a layup.
However, the difference between launching an attack from this position and launching an attack under the basket is immediately apparent.
If he is under the basket, Scola can just turn around and shoot directly, but here because there is a distance from the basket, he will definitely have to take a step back.
There is a time difference here, and Gabayosa turned around to chase.
His ability was finally demonstrated in this round. He jumped up and slapped Scola's shot out of the court!
The Real Madrid fans at the scene went wild.
After conceding two goals in a row to Scola, Gabayosa blocked two goals in a row, and the last one was bloody!
After the block, Gabayosa felt refreshed and turned to look for Sun Hao.
The advice Sun Hao gave him was so right that he wanted to give Sun Hao a big hug.
However, seeing that Sun Hao was about to dodge, he knew that the other party didn't seem to like chest bumping with him, so he changed the chest bump to a high-five.
Alcante's offense had little time left, and Calderon's final hasty three-pointer missed.
Real Madrid made another fast break, and Prigioni was fouled during a fast break layup.
He made both free throws.
14 to 6!
Real Madrid once again widened the gap to 8 points!
The situation once again turned in favor of Real Madrid.
Blatt stood up again, but he did not call a timeout. Instead, he shouted at Calderon and made a new tactical gesture.
Every coach has a different way of arranging tactics, for example, Phil Jackson's whistle is very famous.
But most coaches use hand gestures.
Sun Hao could clearly see Blatter's tactical gesture.
High pick-and-roll.
Calderon advanced to the frontcourt and made the same tactical initiation gesture as Blatter.
The two wings spread out, and Scola went straight to the high post for pick-and-roll.
Scola's pick-and-roll was very effective and Sun Hao failed to dodge it.
Calderon broke the ball and rushed inside, forcing Gabayosa to retreat, and then passed the ball back to Scola.
This is a very standard high-post pick-and-roll and breakaway tactic.
Scola received the ball, and Sun Hao lowered his center of gravity to prevent him from going in easily.
But Scola chose to shoot directly.
Sun Hao jumped up to interfere, and his shooting speed was not slow.
He has been doing jumping training day after day in the system. Although he has not tried dunking yet, he has the ability and only lacks height.
However, it was this ball that made him realize what Bodiroga had said to him before.
He jumped up...but couldn't reach it.
Scola was much taller than him, and because he shot early, it was useless no matter how fast he jumped.
This scene is very similar to the one where Boban holds the ball above his head and Davis can't reach it no matter how hard he jumps.
“Swish!”
Scola's shots were also quite stable.
8 to 14!
Scola helped Alcante narrow the gap and also scored his sixth point in this quarter!
The first time he started, he became the team's pillar!
Calderon's eyes lit up at this time, and he found Scola while retreating and had a conversation with him for a while.
Real Madrid's attack failed, and Calderon continued to play pick-and-roll with Scola.
But it was different from the previous round. After the separation, Calderon walked out with the ball and Scola walked inside!
Calderon's three-point shooting is stable, so Sun Hao can only make a substitution.
With this change, he was out of position at the free throw line and faced Scola.
Calderon was prepared and just lobbed the ball in.
The angle of the ball was very good, and Sun Hao didn't dare to save it like he did when he intercepted Bodiroga before.
After Scola received the ball, he turned around and leaned against him to shoot off the backboard.
He couldn't reach it at all, and Scola's shot went in again!
He had the same feeling as when he was guarding Turkoglu during the previous tryout.
To be precise, it is even more difficult.
Scola scored his 8th point in this quarter!
The Alcante team only scored 10 points in total. This is not Scola, this is Godzilla!
It was a big-small game, with the tall player hitting the short one, so it was normal that Sun Hao couldn't defend against him.
But Sun Hao was thinking about more at this time.
Europe plays more team basketball and less individual games, so he is less likely to be caught by the defense.
But if you go to the NBA, the highest basketball stage in the world, you will do a very thorough study of your opponents.
Once they find that he can't defend against a bigger opponent, they will probably try their best to attack him in singles.
Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about Turkoglu, who I played against before, and if we meet again in the NBA.
Whether he can stay on the court is a question.
After all, Bodiroga was a veteran of the battlefield, and his reminder to him was very appropriate.
Real Madrid used an elevator door tactic in the frontcourt, and Sun Hao came out to receive the ball and shoot.
“Swish!”
The three-pointer went into the net, and he unknowingly got his 9th point in this quarter!
Although he failed to defend Scola twice in a row, he made up for the lost points with his scores!
Calderon used the same trick again in the frontcourt, and his target was clear. After Sun Hao bypassed the pick-and-roll for the first time, he blocked it the second time.
Once the mismatch is resolved, he will immediately lob the ball in.
With the instincts of a top point guard, he found the breakthrough on the court in just one round.
However, Sun Hao was not fighting alone. Scola received the ball and Gabayosa came to assist and successfully blocked Scola's attack.
Unfortunately, Real Madrid's defensive counterattack failed to score, and Alcante protected the defensive rebound.
At this moment, Blatter called Calderon again and gestured to him.
This time, Sun Hao didn’t understand.
Alcante advanced to the frontcourt, Calderon made tactical gestures with the ball, and very complicated movements appeared on the field.
And in the next second, the pick-and-roll came again.
Sun Hao got around it twice in a row, but failed the third time.
He and Scola were in the wrong position again.
Because of the successful example of Gabayosa's assisting defense in the previous round, he was not so worried at this moment.
Scola's continuous footwork and the swing of his center of gravity back and forth made it difficult to predict.
It is precisely relying on this footwork that Scola can dominate the NBA.
It would be incredible if a guard like Sun Hao could defend one-on-one like this.
Scola turned and walked towards the basket, and Gabayosa came to help defend again.
But at this moment, Scola passed the ball!
A pass toward the baseline.
At the same time, a forward player cut in from the baseline and scored two points with a layup after receiving the ball!
The Real Madrid fans on the sidelines were in a state of agitation.
I gave this ball a perfect score of 10. I’m not afraid that you will be proud of it. It was a beautiful shot!
And this is not just one round. Although there were some errors in passing or some inadequate coordination, relying on this tactic, Alcante's offense was obviously smoother than at the beginning.
The two teams began to fall into a stalemate.
At the end of the first half, although Sun Hao performed as well as ever and scored 15 points, the score was 43 to 38.
Completely different from the one-sided situation in the regular season, the two sides were evenly matched.
The reason why all this happened, besides Scola, was Blatt.
One has brought about a qualitative improvement in Alcante's inside scoring, and the other has taken the team's offense to a higher level through excellent tactical adjustments!
At the end of the first half, players from both teams prepared to return to the locker room.
Sun Hao was also thinking about what to do in the second half as he walked.
Calderon was too targeted, and he also experienced firsthand the defensive problems that Bodiroga had mentioned before.
But this is not something he can change all at once.
Aside from the fact that there are currently no caddies in the system, there isn’t much he can practice in this area.
The more critical problem is that although he has the help of the system, he is only 1.83 meters tall.
He can rely on offense to become the king of Europe and even enter the NBA, but his height is indeed a disadvantage when defending.
"Sun! Sun!"
Sun Hao was just thinking about it when a shout brought him back to reality.
He turned around and saw that the person who called him was Parker, who kept waving at him.
He waved, forcing a smile in response.
"Sun, thank you! Allen Iverson! I know how to play basketball now!"
Seeing Sun Hao respond, Parker shouted excitedly.
Although the surrounding environment was noisy, the volume in the midfield was not that loud, and Sun Hao could still hear it from some distance.
He gestured to Parker to cheer him on.
It seems that Parker has found the direction of his efforts.
Thinking about how Parker had asked him how to practice three-pointers before, he felt a little complicated.
Should he regret that he lost a disciple, or be glad that he didn't destroy a sports car?
After saying hello, he continued walking towards the player tunnel, and continued thinking about how to break the misalignment of the Alcante team in the second half.
When he reached the door of the player tunnel, he suddenly stopped and slapped his thigh.
Yes, Iverson!
How could he forget about Iverson!
No, it should be said that how could he forget the group of short NBA players represented by Iverson!
Not to mention the extreme heights of Boges, Boykins, and Isaiah Thomas. After all, as he gets older, his height is no longer at that level.
His current height is on the same level as Iverson, Paul and others!
In the NBA, no one says their defense is bad, and they even play against them all court long.
In other words, how they defend in the NBA provides him with a demonstration of how to defend in Europe!
Parker's reminder really came at the right time!
Everything has its cause and effect. Who would have thought that finding an Iverson template for Parker was just for his own good, but now it actually helps him!
After the intermission, the audience continued to cheer.
After the half-time break, the energy of the fans of both teams returned.
More importantly, the evenly matched scene before them made them full of expectations for the outcome of the game.
Everyone has a chance to win!
In the second half, Alcante attacked first.
Calderon continued to organize the attack in the frontcourt.
His gestures were the same as in the first half.
Although there were some differences in the details of the running positions, the team's tactics were exactly the same as in the first half.
After Real Madrid's defense was mobilized, Calderon signaled Scola to set a pick-and-roll.
Everything developed just like in the first half...
No! Something has changed!
Sun Hao didn't wait for Scola to set up a pick-and-roll, or find a position to avoid the pick-and-roll, but went straight for the ball!
This choice was unexpected for Calderon. He turned his back and barely avoided Sun Hao's interception.
But Sun Hao didn't stop at all. He actually gave up the frontal defense and rushed out from the side.
Calderon couldn't dodge this time.
"Snapped!"
Under the incredulous gazes of the fans on the sidelines, Sun Hao actually intercepted Calderon like this!
A risky move, taking the enemy by surprise!
And because the steal happened at the three-point line, Calderon lost his balance and used his hands to support himself to avoid falling, and the others had no time to react.
After Sun Hao made the steal, the game was smooth sailing.
"He's very fast. He got to the free throw line, he jumped into the air, he was going to dunk... ah, sorry he can't do it."
Amid the on-site commentator's very personal commentary, Sun Hao made a fast break layup and scored the first point for Real Madrid in the second half!
Although it was only two points, this ball broke Alcante's tactics!
The source of their tactics was to take advantage of the points that Sun Hao couldn't defend against Scola alone, but now, Sun Hao's steal directly cut off the source!
Although this method seems risky and full of gambling.
But if you have watched Iverson's game, you won't find it strange, because this is Iverson's usual defensive style, gambling-style steals!
During Alcante's attack, Calderon continued to be pressed by Sun Hao while holding the ball.
This time Calderon was prepared and turned around in advance to avoid the defense.
Moreover, the drawbacks of gambling-style steals are also exposed. If you succeed in stealing the ball, it will be a one-stop fast break show. If you fail to steal the ball... it will be a defensive loss.
Calderon passed Sun Hao and went to the free throw line.
He was observing his teammates, and during this time difference, Sun Hao returned to the position again!
Although Sun Hao is short now, he has a low center of gravity and is very fast!
And the most important point is that Calderon is not an offensive point guard like Rose or Iverson.
He had a good chance to shoot after passing Sun Hao just now, but he did not choose to shoot at the first time.
He protected the ball and was forced back to the three-point line.
Scola tried to set up screens several times but failed because Sun Hao pressed too tightly and there was no room for him to get in.
There was not much time left for the attack, and Calderon finally chose to force a breakthrough, but Sun Hao put up enough resistance and his final shot hit the rim and went out.
Gabayosa grabbed the defensive rebound, and Alcante failed to score in two consecutive attacks in the second half!
Although it cannot be said that Alcante's tactics were cracked, it was like throwing a steel bar into a running gear, jamming it!
Looking back, Gabayosa received the ball in the interior to contain the defense and passed it to Sun Hao who came out with a pick-and-roll.
“Swish!”
Sun Hao made his signature three-point shot.
48 to 38!
After Sun Hao came back in the second half, he scored 5 points in a row, raising his personal score to 20 points and widening the score difference to double digits!
A flash of cold light came first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon!
After Sun Hao returned in the second half, his performance on both offense and defense was aggressive.
Blatt stood up and walked to the sidelines at this time. His expression was obviously different from that in the first half.
He knew there was no problem with his tactics.
The problem is the people who execute the tactics, but of course he can't be blamed.
He started coaching in Europe and looks European, but he is a true American.
He was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, and played for the Princeton Tigers during his playing days.
The team's head coach at the time was named Pete Carril.
Many people may not be familiar with this name, but the tactics he developed are well known to the world.
The inventor of the Princeton tactics was not Adelman, but him.
It was also because of that experience that Blatt used the Princeton tactics the most in his coaching.
Princeton Tactics motto: The strong can take advantage of the weak, and the smart can take advantage of the strong.
Scola's match against Sun Hao is a very obvious feature.
However, this tactic requires too much tacit understanding and too much time to be adjusted.
He has been with the team for too short a time, and this was even just Scola's first game as a starter.
But Calderon is indeed capable. Even though Sun Hao pressed very hard, he successfully passed the ball to Scola after many attempts.
For the first time in the second half, Scola finally got the opportunity to play one-on-one with the ball in the high post.
Gabayosa wanted to come over to assist in defense, but this time he was called back by Sun Hao.
Scola saw it and tried to turn around.
But at this moment, he discovered that Sun Hao's defensive style was also different from before.
Lower your center of gravity and keep trying to steal and interfere from left and right.
The arms were waving like the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, making it difficult for him to turn around comfortably.
And because of the height difference, it would be easy for him to be intercepted if he turned around at this time.
But there wasn't much time left for the attack, so he didn't have many options.
He finally chose a turnaround jump shot.
Sun Hao couldn't interfere with this kind of ball, but Sun Hao also didn't think that he could defend Scola.
Paul's defensive style in the NBA is to force offensive players away from the basket.
To defend against the big with the small is already half the battle.
“Bang!”
The remaining half is completed by the basket.
Scola's shot missed!
This is not a comfortable way for him to attack at all!
Gabayosa grabbed another defensive rebound, and after returning to the second half, Alcante failed to score in three consecutive attacks!
Moreover, the ball hit a long rebound on the front line, and Real Madrid turned around and made a fast break after getting it.
This time Trinidad received a pass from Prigioni and scored with a two-handed dunk in a fast break!
50 to 38!
The score difference has reached 12 points!
Real Madrid came back in the second half and directly won the game with a score of 7-0!
