The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Chapter 123 The championship and MOP, I want them all!

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

This is the data that Derrick Rose scored in the final tonight.

"No one can compare with Rose except Zuo Li." It is rare for Barkley, who has always liked Zuo Li, to make such a high evaluation.

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

It is precisely because of Rose's outstanding performance that he hit Davidson's inside again and again, challenged the no-fly zone on the left side again and again, and scored 11 consecutive points in the final stage, including the unreasonable and difficult three-pointer. That's why Memphis always has the hope of tying or even overtaking.

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

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

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

ESPN: "Why should it be committed on Rose, he hasn't missed a free throw yet."

Dell Curry slapped his forehead: "This kid thinks that winning is not enough to make himself more difficult, right?"

Carter: "Hey hey hey, he got caught up in a foul just now. Why isn't O'Neal here? He should feel the same way."

Kobe squinted 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 a word. The timeout was gone and he couldn’t arrange tactics. It’s the best choice for the players on the field. He knew this very well. He was just a little nervous. The trend of the game.

How should 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 has no possession of the ball. When the game time is running out, they will choose to foul early and send the opponent to the free throw line. .

This trick is called exchanging free throws for the right to the ball, especially when the lead is only 3 or 4 points, using fouls to allow the opponent to make free throws to prevent the opponent from making three-pointers. Even if they make two free throws, they still lead and still hold the ball. Power, you can control the fate of the last moment in your own hands.

But this trick is also very risky. Basketball games are unpredictable. If the opponent makes two free throws, it is equivalent to sending two points in vain. In this way, the pressure on yourself will increase infinitely in the last attack, not to mention this. It's not worth the loss if the player throws the ball from the sideline, makes a mistake on the baseline ball, or is intercepted or something.

So this tactic is more like a gamble, and it is not widely used. No coach will easily arrange it in the end.

Especially in the current situation, they lead by as much as 4 points, and there are only 9 seconds left. Even if Memphis makes a three-pointer or scores a quick two-pointer, they still hold the lead, and the ball will naturally return to their hands. Don't send them to the free throw line to send points.

Moreover, the object 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 at the penalty area line and was waiting for Rose's free throw. Zuo Li's expression was still calm, and he didn't seem to think about 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 Rose would be disturbed!

Mentality!

There are things that are invisible but intangible on the basketball court.

Everyone knows that Rose is accurate in free throws, but the pressure on free throws at the last moment is absolutely unimaginable. It is absolutely no less than shooting a lore shot, or even higher.

Feel the silence of the audience, tens of millions of fans all over the world watching yourself, you can even hear your breathing.

What if everyone made a penalty, but if they didn't make a penalty, for Memphis, it would be 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 making the shot.

Bullet frame, fall into the net!

This scene made the hearts of all the fans jump out.

And the second ball, Rose, was soft! ! !

"If the penalty fails..."

Although Rose kept restraining himself from thinking this way, he still couldn't control his brain, so...he shot short!

"Ahh~!" Barkley yelled strangely, and the man with a free throw percentage of 88.8% missed!!!

"Not good!" Rose felt that it was over when he took the shot, so he rushed forward to grab the rebound, but it was a backcourt rebound, and Zuo Li had already got stuck in his position.

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

The scene was very chaotic for a while. Zuo Li held up the basketball, which made Rose lose the chance to steal.

In the end, Roberts used his fifth foul of the field to send the left to the free throw line, and the time was only 5 seconds left.

"Yes!!" Zuo Li viciously squeezed the basketball in his hand. This was the happiest moment since his rebirth, and he bet right!

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

Going round and round, Rose still couldn't get rid of this fate!

Zuo Li stood on the free throw line, and tens of thousands of Memphis fans booed frantically to make noise. Zuo Li's life was greeted hundreds of thousands of times.

But Zuo Li still made two free throws steadily, and the point 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 seeing Ross's eyes showing disappointment for the first time, everyone knows that Memphis is over.

"Who would have thought that it would be Rose who fell at the free throw line." Smith said with a sigh.

Davidson chose not to defend, Memphis did not give up, called a timeout and sent a sideline ball, 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 the basketball at the last moment and hugged Curry wildly.

"We won! We won! Hahaha!"

The two rushed to Bob and other members of the coaching staff.

And Davidson next to him, no matter whether he was a starter or a substitute, was all jumping and shouting crazily, swaying their youth freely on the court, maybe many years later, they would all remember this red night!

Coach Bob knelt down and kissed the floor, what kind of image, it has long been unimportant, winning the championship, this life is enough.

Dale Curry shed tears in the stands, Seth Curry frantically called CALL for his brother, and then Curry hugged Ayesha, who had been crying for a long time.

The famous district of Davidson has been crying for a long time, and even the principal, a 60-year-old man, is crying. After many years, they finally realized their dream of being champions.

Davidson, the school in this small town, has finally become famous all over the United States!

Bang~~~!

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