Sun Hao had already set a goal to go to NBA to complete the five-year agreement, and NCAA was not his consideration.

However, he did not make a clear statement. After all, even the Spurs are just giving him a tryout opportunity now.

This kind of trial training, an NBA team will find many people to go to before the draft every year.

If he really enters NBA, he will also have to do more.

He gave a vague answer and left contact information with both of them, and Sun Hao continued to join the game.

However, in the next game against Messia, he encountered a Waterloo just like the real Napoleon.

He made 1 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line in the game, and scored 11 points only through free throws and fast breaks.

Just like James occasionally walks, no matter how great a shooter is, he will never hit the basket every night.

More importantly, after playing a crazy performance for a week, the opponent obviously began to study and target him.

It is difficult for him to receive the ball comfortably during the game, and even if he receives the ball, he will be double-teamed soon.

Because Trinida, who was partnering in the backcourt, did not have the ability to make three-pointers, such double-teaming lasted almost all night.

Most of the time, Sun Hao was tightly wrapped by two big men.

This is the first time in La Liga that is treated with this "super" specification.

This also shows one thing that he is now treated as a superstar.

It is definitely unrealistic to shout "I'm not a star, don't double-team me". What he needs to do is how to crack this kind of defense.

There are two ways to break double-team: one is to break through, complete the attack before double-teaming is formed, which is simple and crude;

Another type is passing the ball, allowing teammates to have a chance of 4-to-3.

There are many ways to break through, such as Irving who dribbled in a fancy way, Antetokounmpo who fought against his body, Doncic who changed the rhythm, Anthony who had three threats, etc.

Sun Hao foresaw this situation last season and started training in the system as early as possible.

What he practices is the first step in a breakthrough.

There are many players in the NBA who rely on the first step to make breakthroughs, and the most typical representative players are Rose, Wade, and McGrady.

The reason why Sun Hao chose this breakthrough method is because it can be combined with his three-point ability.

If you have double-teams, I will break through you before robbing them;

If you don't have a double-team, I may just go to the outside world.

This is equivalent to letting the defensive party do multiple-choice questions.

He has been persisting in training in the system, and what he needs to do later is to use it more in the competition to trigger badges in this area.

As for passing, although it is not his strength, it is completely fine to rely on ordinary passes by the ball merchant.

The problem lies in the team configuration.

Trinida, who is partnered with him in the backcourt, has no outside shooting ability at all, which allows the opponent to double-team him unscrupulously.

So to use passes to solve this problem, the best way is to change to a defender who has shooting defense but will not be targeted.

Unfortunately, Real Madrid did not.

However, there are more than one way to solve the problem.

Even players like NBA and Tony Allen who have no outside shooting can always exist as the starter of a strong team, and La Liga can naturally do it too.

Another way to solve this problem is to adjust Trinida to the off-ball side.

Before the training class the next day began, Sun Hao took the initiative to talk about his thoughts with Raso.

Lasso was also having a headache about this matter. When he saw Sun Hao coming to him, he was not too surprised. Instead, he was ready to listen.

After getting along for more than a year, he also knew clearly that Sun Hao was a golf player.

Trinida has no outside shooting ability, but it is not that he does not have offensive ability. On the contrary, he can play Real Madrid with defense alone. Fast attack and bottom line cutting are his best.

Therefore, after listening to the idea of ​​adjusting to the side without the ball, Rasso fully agreed with it.

The so-called ball-free side is literally the meaning. The ball has both left and right sides, one side with the ball is called the ball-free side, and the ball-free side is the other side.

Adjust Trinida to the off-ball side, because he is not on the side with Sun Hao, it is impossible for the defensive player to let him go and cross the half to double-team.

Because that means letting Trinida cut in, Sun Hao can wait for the defensive player to pass the ball steadily while crossing the half.

In fact, no one is so stupid that they cross the half to double-team. If Real Madrid adjusts like this, the opponent will most likely be a substitute for double-teaming.

They are both double-teams, but the situation is completely different from before.

Because everyone else in Real Madrid has certain shooting ability, including Gabayosa, also has medium distances.

Sun Hao's proposal gave Laso a new idea, and Laso quickly made targeted tactical arrangements.

In the training class that began, a new team tactic was born.

Sun Hao and Gabayosa's pick-and-roll attack.

Sun Hao has excellent three-point ability, and Gabayosa has strong cutting and attacking ability. The technical characteristics of the two people determine that the opponent will fall into selection difficulties.

Once they choose to double-team Sun Hao, Gabayosa will get a chance.

If they choose not to double-team or switch defenses, Sun Hao can directly shoot three-pointers by catching the opponent's defense time difference.

Even if the opponent does not choose to switch defenses without being tied up, Sun Hao can still play a big shot.

In short, based on the suggestions given by Sun Hao, Raso has created a tactic that is most suitable for the team at this stage.

After two days of training, the pick-and-roll tactics of the two men started to be used against Andorra Riverside, and they were used at the beginning.

Rasso also stood on the sidelines at the beginning of the game, looking a little nervous.

The reason why this tactic was so quickly thought of and put into use was not because of how strong his coaching ability was, but because Prigioni and Gabayosa often played pick-and-roll before this.

After all, European basketball cannot be eliminated by pick-and-roll tactics.

Now that the pick-and-roll man has been replaced by Prigioni to Sun Hao, what Rasso is worried about is Sun Hao's passing ability.

But after the game really started, he found that his worries were unnecessary.

Prigioni and Gabayosa often break through when pick-and-roll, and at this time they will use more techniques of breaking the score.

But Sun Hao and Gabayosa pick-and-roll are exactly the opposite, and he basically goes out.

Correspondingly, Gabayosa basically cuts in.

The opponent actually dared not let Gabayosa go so hard.

You should know that with Gabayosa's ability in La Liga, as long as Sun Hao passes the ball over, he will get points.

So until the end of the fight, Raso didn't worry about anything.

After not being double-teamed, Sun Hao's outside scoring ability was re-released, and he scored 19 points again to help Real Madrid win the game.

After the game, the gloom and nervousness on Raso's face dissipated, and he immediately met Sun Hao and slapped him with high fives after the game.

Facts proved that his judgment was correct, and Sun Hao was indeed a player from a high-ball merchant!

In the following game, Sun Hao and Gabayosa continued to run in the pick-and-roll, and the opponent's defense also changed.

At the beginning, they didn't double-team or change defense, but Sun Hao caught the opponent in the time difference between pick-and-roll.

When the opponent saw that he was so defensive, he turned into a direct change of defense.

It was after changing defense this way that Sun Hao finally had the chance to use more of the first step in the game to make breakthroughs.

You can either make a big shot or a big shot after a big shot, but no matter which one is, the first step that is threatening enough will be twice the result with half the effort.

Although his performance fluctuated at the beginning because of his attempts, Sun Hao scored less than 15 in several consecutive games, and even scored only in single digits in one game.

But the continuous attempts bring about continuous improvement technology.

Just halfway through the 22nd round of the league, Sun Hao finally successfully unlocked the badge he wanted.

First Step Expert (Bronze): Slightly improve the speed of the first step when breaking through, and the ability to see through the opponent's defense!

Not only to improve the speed of the first step, the key is to see through the defense ability in the later part!

This is amazing!

It's like the Eye of the Emperor in "Hiko's Basketball"!

Just two days after Sun Hao got the "first step expert", Real Madrid played against Barcelona again at home, which was also the second time the two sides fought in the season.

The last time he met Real Madrid, he lost away, and Prigioni was injured and had a high card exemption, so he still didn't know whether he could catch up with the playoffs.

Facing a mortal enemy and a potential opponent in the championship, this game is crucial to Real Madrid.

Once Prigioni really can't play in the playoffs, it's likely to be an early preview of both sides' playoffs.

"Sun, you're more determined when you're misplaced."

After the tactics were arranged before the game, Raso pulled Sun Hao alone to remind him.

Although Sun Hao was in poor form in the past few games, Rasso chose to believe him.

This trust touched Sun Hao a little.
