Blatt reached out and called another timeout.
The second half started off much like the first half.
However, after the break, Alcante's adjustments were obviously not as good as in the first half.
As soon as Calderon came back, he hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer despite Sun Hao's defense, demonstrating his personal ability.
But this way of scoring has already shown that the Princeton tactics that Alcante relied on the most have failed.
Just like in the second half of Real Madrid's match against Panathinaikos, they relied on the elevator door tactics to maintain the situation.
But now, Alcante has lost what they relied on most.
Although Blatter made continuous tactical adjustments, the situation was no longer under his control.
At the end of the third quarter, the score was already 61 to 44, and the difference had been widened to 17 points.
The Alcante fans on the sidelines were silent.
Although I knew that Real Madrid was the Champions League champion, it was very unpleasant to see the originally stalemate situation suddenly become so one-sided.
“Bang!”
Calderon still missed the three-point shot.
Originally, after the joint tryout ended, he was still thinking about proving himself in the La Liga playoffs and getting a second tryout opportunity.
But now it turns out that he was overthinking.
Real Madrid's ability to win the Champions League was definitely not based on luck.
The ball was a long rebound and went straight into Trinidad's hands.
Trinidad saw that Sun Hao was already on a fast break and threw a long pass.
Sun Hao received the ball and made a fast break. He soon found that no one from the Alcante team was chasing and defending.
It was obvious that their morale had hit rock bottom by this point in the game.
Looking at the stadium in front of him, which was larger than Hulunbuir, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
An idea he had been planning for a long time.
He dribbled the ball and took two steps inside the free throw line. He held his breath, looked straight at the basket, and then prepared to take off into the air.
The boy’s dream of dunking!
When I first traveled through time, I could only watch Yi Jianlian dunk.
Even in Spain, his countless fast breaks could only end with layups.
During the tryout, Bertkat specifically came to ask him if he could dunk.
Even the commentator joked in the first half that he couldn't dunk.
All of this will end here.
He will complete his first dunk in this arena, not only to experience the feeling of flying in the air, but also to prove...
He is also a young man who can dunk!
"Zhi~~~Zi~~~"
But just when he was gathering his strength to take off, he suddenly felt his feet slip.
Then, all the momentum he had been holding back disappeared into thin air just like the sage's time was cut in an instant.
Damn, he...slipped!
Because the force was so strong, he didn't even have time to protect the ball and sat down on the ground.
Because of years of strength training, his buttocks were full of muscles, and they actually allowed him to jump forward a small step.
Very elastic.
The bottom line popped up...
Fortunately it was my butt, otherwise I would have been injured.
There was silence at first, followed by unstoppable laughter.
Sun Hao’s dunk was... so fucking funny!
Even the Real Madrid bench was delighted.
They had never seen Sun Hao dunk before and thought they could finally see it today, but it turned out that they were overthinking.
Fortunately, the beautiful cheerleader on the sidelines had a conscience and came over to help him up from the ground.
After Sun Hao got up, he didn't have time to thank the referee. He immediately pointed out to the referee that the ground was slippery.
If the ground hadn't been slippery, he would have definitely dunked the ball.
The referee also stopped the game and signaled the staff to quickly mop the floor.
Sun Hao is the new Champions League MVP and he also needs to save face.
The floor was mopped and the game continued.
Scola still didn't take a mid-range shot in the frontcourt.
The team's offense was not going well and he lost his touch.
Gabayosa grabbed the defensive rebound and saw Sun Hao making another fast break, so he also made a long pass.
After receiving the ball, Sun Hao broke through at full speed to get rid of Calderon.
Calderon chased to the midfield and gave up when he found there was no chance to catch up.
Sun Hao looked at the basketball hoop that was getting closer and closer to him, and suddenly remembered the words from the movie "A Chinese Odyssey" that everyone can recite.
"I once had a true love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. If I were given another chance..."
He didn't expect that he would have another chance so soon!
This time he was obviously more careful. In order to prevent slipping again, he found the right footing and slowed down significantly.
When he broke through to a position one step outside the basket, he held his breath and jumped into the air.
The emotions of the fans at the scene suddenly became excited.
It was a bit funny that Sun Hao slipped on the previous ball, but now he has the opportunity to prove himself.
"boom!"
But the next scene caught everyone off guard again.
Sun Hao put all his strength into the dunk... and it hit the rim.
He was so strong that he even crushed the basketball a little.
But the rebound force was so strong that he was bounced back.
He was hit by the basket...
The huge stadium fell silent again.
Are you serious...
One slip and one blocked by the rim.
Well, this is definitely the dark history of the new Champions League MVP.
Fortunately, Sun Hao was strong and managed to catch the ball.
After landing again, he took the ball and made another tip-in, which made the fast break not in vain.
Laughter was heard from the sidelines again, and this time Sun Hao smiled and ran back with his head down.
He let it go.
He thinks dunking isn't that good...right?
Let Yi Jianlian and his team dunk it!
Right, that is it.
He doesn't want to be Madrid LaVine.
At the end of the third quarter, Alcante was already trailing by 17 points.
There is not much suspense about the outcome.
The Real Madrid team at the scene has already started celebrating the victory in advance.
Not only did they take revenge tonight, but they also slaughtered their opponents.
In the last quarter, Alcante played with momentum and recovered some points, but because they were behind by too much, they ultimately failed to turn the game around.
The final score on the field was 71 to 58. Real Madrid defeated their opponent with a 13-point advantage, completing their revenge for last season and advancing to the La Liga final!
Now, they have the chance to complete the Grand Slam of the Champions League and La Liga!
Although Sun Hao contributed two dunks that went into his personal history, he scored 22 points in only three quarters and was still the best performing player tonight.
And his defense against Scola in the second half tonight was also eye-catching.
In the locker room after the game, Real Madrid players were celebrating wildly.
Sun Hao sat in a quiet corner.
Others thought he was sulking because of those two dunks, but in fact he was frantically trying to dunk in the system.
He tried more than ten times and succeeded six or seven times.
It's just a reluctant, standard compromise.
He finally gave up completely.
It seems that he still needs to practice his jumping ability more, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. His current ability and height are only enough for a dunk, and it's a bit too hasty to think of a dunk in a real game.
After dunking, he pulled out the attribute panel and took another look.
He found that his basketball IQ had risen to 89, and he was only one step away from advancing to the gold level.
Putting aside the dunk, tonight's game helped him a lot.
Especially Blatt's Princeton tactics, which gave him a feeling of enlightenment.
Gold-level basketball IQ badge!
Because he was an assistant coach in his previous life, he has a natural advantage in basketball IQ, so he feels particularly close to this badge.
Now, just like the long-range sharpshooter before, all he needs is a chance to break through.
After the celebration, his teammates said goodbye to him and went back to the hotel one after another.
They knew that Sun Hao was in a bad mood because of his failed dunk, so they didn't bother him.
After Sun Hao exited the system, he was not in a hurry to leave. He went directly to the video room to get the video of tonight's game.
Take this back and read it a few times, maybe this is the opportunity he wants.
But just when he returned to the locker room and was about to get his bag and leave, he found someone at the door.
Someone who took him by surprise.
Alcante head coach David Blatt.
When he saw Sun Hao coming, he smiled, obviously waiting for him here.
Sun Hao looked at him with confusion, not knowing what Blatt was going to do.
"A cup of coffee?"
Blatt didn't seem to be in a hurry. Instead, he smiled and invited Sun Hao, a very gentlemanly invitation.
Sun Hao didn't think he was a beauty, but he still nodded in acceptance.
Just like Chinese people love to drink tea, foreigners always love to drink coffee, no matter in the morning or in the evening.
After drinking some coffee, Bratt started foreplay.
"Who do you think is better, Jose Calderon or Prigioni?"
"Calderon."
The answer to this question is obvious. Whether in terms of talent or combat effectiveness, Calderon is better than Prigioni.
Although Prigioni is a teammate, there is no need for Sun Hao to lie with his eyes open.
"Yes, Jose is an excellent commander on the field and he can get the best out of his teammates."
Sun Hao nodded. There was nothing wrong with this. In history, when Calderon first entered the NBA, he became the Raptors' assist leader in just a few seasons.
What is even more commendable than the number of assists is his assist-to-turnover ratio, which has been ranked first in the league for several consecutive seasons.
Being able to pass the ball and making few turnovers are the hallmarks of an excellent point guard.
"Would you be interested in playing with Jose?"
After enough foreplay, Bratt got down to business.
Are you interested in playing with Calderon? Another meaning of this sentence is whether you are interested in joining Alcante.
Blatt was just like Bodiroga before, swinging a hoe to dig him.
Sun Hao shook his head.
He doesn't have to think about it.
If the team had won the championship at the end of last season and Blatter was at Alcante, he would have considered it if asked this question.
At that time, for him, going to Alcante and partnering with Calderon would allow him to better unleash his strengths.
But a season later, a lot of things have changed.
Especially after making a selection in the system.
He has blocked his way to playing in Europe.
