Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

He played 38 and a half minutes, took 19 shots, made 13 hits, including 3 three-pointers, made all 7 free throws, and scored 36 points, 4 assists, and 3 steals.

This is the data Derrick Rose scored in the finals tonight.

"Except for Zuo Li, no one can compare with Rose." Barkley, who has always liked Zuo Li, rarely made such a high evaluation.

But this is indeed a true portrayal of Rose tonight. Without him, Memphis might have been torn apart by the rampaging Zuo Li.

It was precisely because of Rose's outstanding performance that he attacked Davidson's inside line again and again, challenged Zuoli's no-fly zone again and again, and even scored 11 consecutive points in the final stage, including the unreasonable and difficult three-pointer.

This allows Memphis to always maintain the hope of tying or even overtaking.

At the last moment, he had hope of helping the team maintain the score. Although I don't know why Zuo Li committed an early foul and sent Rose to the free throw line, the eyes of the United States were focused on Rose alone.

Smith: "Fouled early, Zuo Li was too courageous. He made a choice that no one expected. With 7 seconds left on the clock, Rose went to the free throw line."

Barkley: "How should I put it, Zuo Li is a little anxious."

espn: "Why blame Rose? He hasn't missed a free throw yet."

Dell Curry slapped his forehead: "This kid thinks it's not enough to win, so it makes it more difficult for him, right?"

Carter: "Hey, hey, I was so anxious because I was fouled just now. Why isn't O'Neal here? He should feel the same way."

Kobe glanced sideways at Carter: "This is the first time tonight that I think what you said makes sense."

Coach Bob also stood up, but he didn't say anything. There was no timeout and he couldn't arrange tactics. Whatever the players on the field did was the best choice. He knew this very well. He was just a little nervous. These two free throws were related to this game.

The trend of the game.

How can I put it, Zuo Li's tactics are not new. In NBA basketball games, at the last moment one side leads by more than 2 points but does not have the ball. When the game time is running out, they will choose to foul in advance and send the opponent to the free throw line.

.

This move is to use free throws in exchange for the ball. Especially when your lead is only 3 or 4 points, you use fouls to let your opponents take free throws to prevent them from gaining three points. Even if you make two free throws, they are still ahead and still have the ball.

With power, you can control the fate of the last moment in your own hands.

But this move is also very risky. Basketball games are unpredictable. If your opponent makes two free throws, it is equivalent to giving up two points in vain. In this way, your own pressure will increase infinitely in the last attack, not to mention this

If you make a mistake when serving a sideline ball, a baseline ball, or get intercepted, then the gain will outweigh the loss.

Therefore, this tactic is more like gambling and is not widely used. No coach would easily arrange it like this in the end.

Especially in this situation, they are leading by as much as 4 points and there are only 9 seconds left. Even if Memphis scores a three-pointer or a quick two-pointer, they still have the lead and the ball will naturally return to their own hands.

No need to send them to the free throw line to score points.

Moreover, the target of the foul was Rose, the only man on the court who has never missed a free throw.

This is why the commentators felt that this foul was a bit inexplicable, and many people even thought that Zuo Li's foul was very reckless.

The camera also focused on Zuo Li, who was standing on the penalty area line, waiting for Rose's free throw. Zuo Li's expression remained calm, and he didn't seem to think anything of the foul.

In fact, Zuo Li was also betting. Of course he knew that his tactic was very bold to use at this time, but he was just betting that Ross would be interfered with!

mentality!

There are things that are invisible and intangible on the basketball court, but they actually exist.

Everyone knows that Rose is accurate in free throws, but the pressure he has to bear on free throws at the last moment is absolutely unimaginable. It is definitely no less than the buzzer beater, or even higher.

Feel the silence in the audience, tens of millions of fans around the world watching you, and you can even hear yourself breathing.

Everyone makes free throws, but what if they don't? For Memphis, it's an abyss!

No one can easily ignore such feelings.

"Huh~" Rose stood on the free throw line and took the first free throw. He adjusted for a full 10 seconds before taking the shot.

Pop the frame and fall into the net!

This scene made the hearts of all the fans in the audience beat out of their chests.

On the second ball, Rose was too soft!!!

"If the penalty is missed..."

Although Rose kept suppressing his thoughts, he still had trouble controlling his brain, so he made a short shot!

"Oh~!" Barkley screamed strangely. The man who hit 100 shots and hit 88.8% of his free throws unexpectedly missed!!!

"No!" Rose felt it was over when he took the shot, so he immediately rushed forward to grab the rebound, but it was a backcourt rebound, and Zuo Li had already been stuck in position.

"Mine!" Zuo Li directly hugged the ball in his arms!

The scene was very chaotic at one time. Zuo Li held the basketball high, causing Rose to lose the chance to steal. Time ran out quickly and everyone in Memphis panicked!

In the end, Roberts committed his fifth foul of the game and sent Zuo Li to the free throw line with only 2.3 seconds left.

"Yes!!" Zuo Li pinched the basketball in his hand fiercely. This was the happiest moment since his rebirth. He made the right bet!

I still remember that in the previous life, Rose fell on the free throw line. One of two free throws gave Kansas a chance to shoot a three-pointer, and they fell in front of the trophy.

After going round and round, Ross still hasn't been able to escape this fate!

Zuo Li stood on the free throw line, and tens of thousands of Memphis fans in the audience made a noise with crazy boos. Zuo Li's life was greeted hundreds or thousands of times.

But Zuo Li still made two free throws steadily, and the score difference returned to 6 points, a desperate score.

This time, at the free throw line, Zuo Li won!

Looking at Roberts' lonely back after being sent off, and looking at Rose's eyes showing disappointment for the first time, everyone knew that the situation in Memphis was over.

"Who would have thought that Rose would fall at the free throw line," Smith said with a sigh.

Davison chose not to guard, but Memphis did not give up. It called a timeout and the sideline ball was released. Rose turned around and made a three-pointer, and the whistle sounded at the same time.

But it was useless. 93-90, Davidson defeated Memphis College by 3 points and won the 2007-2008 NCAA final trophy!

"We are the champions!!!" Zuo Li threw out the basketball at the last moment and hugged Curry wildly.

"We won! We won! Hahaha!"

The two then pounced on Bob and other members of the coaching staff.

And Davidson beside him, whether he was a starter or a substitute, was all jumping and shouting like crazy, and his youth was swaying freely on the court. Maybe many years later, they will remember this red night!

Coach Bob knelt down and kissed the floor. The image no longer matters. Winning the championship is enough for this life.

Dell Curry shed tears in the stands, Seth Curry frantically called for his brother, and then Curry hugged Ayesha, whose eyes were red from tears.

The celebrity district of Davidson has been crying for a long time. Even the 60-year-old principal was crying. After many years, they finally realized their dream of becoming a champion.

Davidson, a school in this small town, is finally famous across the United States!

Bang~~~!

Over the arena, ribbons fell, and Davidson red became the last color of March Madness!
