Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Another foul. Zuo Li stepped to the free throw line for the second time in 20 seconds. It seems that Memphis is using a very... tactic." Kenny Smith didn't come out for a long time because he really didn't like the shark-cutting tactic.

Don't know how to describe it.

"Hahahaha, it's okay, buddy, that guy Shaq will forgive you." Barkley laughed very happily on the side, because he thought of O'Neal's embarrassing state of mind exploded by the shark-cutting tactic. It was really funny.

.

"Bata!"

O'Neal turned off the TV, picked up the computer, and posted angrily on his social account: "Why can I see this damn tactic everywhere! This is the NCAA finals!"

The angry shark wanted to get comfort from the fans, but unfortunately, the fans below laughed "hahahaha"...

O'Neal wants to be quiet...

The sudden change on the court caught the fans off guard. They originally thought that the game would no longer be suspenseful, especially when Zuo Li was one block away from getting the first triple-double in the history of the NCAA finals, but this sudden succession

The foul made the game seem to have some unpredictable changes.

Especially when Zuo Li stepped to the free throw line for the second time and still made 1 of 2 free throws, and Rose once again got a rebound and scored the ball on a fast break to widen the point difference to 10 points.

Coach Bob immediately called a timeout.

"How about Zuo Li, can you handle it?" There is no strategy to talk about in this timeout. Ever since the Shark Chopping tactic was invented, there is no particularly good way to deal with it. Unless you replace someone, you can't stop your opponent.

Foul on you.

But obviously, it is impossible for the left player to come off the field. There are two teams if Davidson has a left player or without a left player, so Coach Bob asked this question.

"Of course, trust me." Zuo Li said after taking a sip of water.

In fact, Zuo Li had been mentally prepared for this day. After all, his free throw attribute points were very low. Although he practiced very hard, it was impossible to master this thing overnight.

However, Zuo Li is still confident. His free throw shooting rate has increased from about 50% in high school to 68% this season. Although it is still not good-looking, as long as he stabilizes his mentality, he will not easily appear like Ofat.

Awkward situation.

If you want to destroy yourself through such tactics, then the Memphis people are thinking too much. In this game, the left free throw line made 5 of 8 free throws, which is not bad.

Moreover, Zuo Li has been studying this tactic. After all, he thought that someone would do this to him sooner or later, but he did not expect it to be so soon.

Although the shark-cutting tactic is world-famous due to the feud between Popovich and O'Neal and the years of confrontation between the Lakers and the Spurs, this tactic is actually not news for a long time.

Tactics similar to the shark-cutting tactic had been used as early as the Wilt Chamberlain era, and the main target at that time was Chamberlain.

Who would have thought that the center's inability to shoot free throws started with Chamberlain.

And this tactic is actually not just for centers, but for players who are poor at free throws but very lethal.

For players such as Bruce Bowen who have no offensive ability but are also poor at free throws, this tactic can also be used to obtain the ball. However, in general teams, the ones who are poor at free throws are big centers, so the tactic of cutting the center becomes

The most classic.

Apart from O'Pang, the biggest victim, Zuo Likou knew that Howard, DeAndre Jordan, and even guards Rondo and Rubio would suffer this disaster in the future.

Well, Zuo Li had better time travel too early, otherwise he would have seen a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix youngsters embarrassing themselves in free throws, comparable to O'Polo, no, not even inferior to O'Polo's Ben Simmons, who is one of the heavyweights.

Thanks to his late birth, the foul penalty rules at that time had actually gone through many changes, which had already greatly restricted the application of shark-cutting tactics. Otherwise, Simmons would have retired after his debut.

But Zuo Li didn't expect that before he entered the NBA, someone would use it in the final game of the NCAA.

The reason why I didn't expect it is mainly because the rules are different. I won't mention the NBA. Everyone knows the current rules. In the NCAA, the foul and free throw rules are quite different from the NBA.

The first is the number of fouls. The NCAA stipulates that free throws will only be given after the 7th foul in the first and second half, and it is 11. That is, if the first free throw is made, there will be a second chance. Starting from the 10th free throw, there will be two direct free throws.

This seems to be beneficial to the fouling party, but in the NCAA, each person has only 5 fouls to graduate. Even though it is only one less than the NBA, the feeling is completely different.

In this era where confrontation is particularly emphasized, defense is encouraged, and there is no defense for three seconds, five fouls does not leave room for waste, especially inside players, who dare not commit fouls easily.

And most people think of this tactic too simply. When to cut, who to cut, and whether to cut are all very important knowledge.

If you don't cut it well, you will kill yourself.

So even if Zuoli free throws are generally recognized, no team in the NCAA dares to use them easily. This is not the NBA after all, and the gap in tactical literacy and talent pool is quite large.

Memphis naturally knows this, but now they have reached the edge of the cliff. If they don't use it at this time, they really have no chance.

And two consecutive free throws gave them hope, so they fouled Zuo Li even more resolutely!

"Damn, Memphis is doing something, we can't play anymore." Kobe frowned on the sidelines, the game was completely cut off.

"There are less than 5 minutes left, they really have no choice." McGrady spread his hands, sometimes in order to win, he has to use any tricks.

The fans at the scene booed, but they still couldn't stop them from fouling. Zuo Li stood there and let them foul, and then went to the free throw line.

In the blink of an eye, 8 free throws were made, and Zuo Li made 5 free throws. The results were relatively stable, and Memphis really used this period of time to recover the points.

When there were 2 minutes left in the game, they were still 6 points behind, which was a score they could chase.

So the substitute center committed a direct foul and sent Zuo Li to the free throw line five times in a row. Then he graduated with honors. He had completed his mission.

Zuo Li continued to make free throws, also hitting one of two free throws, but this time it was the second free throw and Memphis lost the fast break opportunity.

At this time, Zuo Li was already on fire. The consecutive free throws made him extremely depressed, so Rose got his second big hit of the game!

Snapped!

Zuo Li completed a triple-double!

This is also the first time in Zuo Li's career that he has blocked shots in double figures, and it is also the first time in the history of the finals that he has blocked shots in double figures.

"47 points, 18 rebounds and 10 blocks! Zuo Li set a new record and became the first player to hit a triple-double in the history of the NCAA finals!" Barkley immediately applauded and congratulated.

Unfortunately, Memphis still scored this goal. The ball came out from the sideline and Roberts scored a three-pointer. In an instant, the score difference was only 3 points.
