I don’t know if what I, Xiaofeng, have always understood is wrong, or if other authors have written it wrong. When Xiaofeng just read other college basketball articles, all the fouls written were 1+1, which made Xiaofeng a little bit I’m not confident anymore, let’s use Xiaofeng’s understanding~
Xiaofeng understands the NCAA free throw rules. 1+1 is only limited to ordinary free throws after the cumulative number of fouls in the half is reached. If the cumulative fouls reach 7 or more, ordinary fouls will go directly to the free throw line.
Similar to the NBA, players will go directly to the free throw line after accumulating 4 fouls in a single quarter.
NCAA shooting fouls are not 1+1, and free throws are given based on the number of free throws inside and outside the three-point line.
1+1 is not a common situation. In a game with loose defense, you will never see a 1+1 in a game.
…
…
The opponent is Gilbert Arenas, Agent Zero and the Man with the Gun who will remain famous in the basketball world for a long time in the future.
Arenas has adjusted for so long and adapted to this kind of defense, which was expected by Li Ao.
Li Ao's defensive mentality this time - just try your best to interfere.
If you can prevent it, you should be happy; if you can't prevent it, there is no shame.
When the Trojans attack, Princeton's style of play begins.
Granville broke through, Li Ao came out from the baseline, Richard Jefferson blocked Granville's close-range throw, and Granville passed the ball to Li Ao.
Woods under the basket moved in advance to block Shelby Jordan, and Brusenthal pulled it out tacitly. Sure enough, Li Ao's pass came!
Brusenthal's one-step jump shot inside the free throw line...hit!
Li Ao's two passes tore apart the opponent's defense!
These two assists were obtained because Shelby Jordan and Brusenthal made good movement choices, but he was able to send the ball out immediately when his teammates had opportunities, showing his ability to support them. talent.
With Li Ao's support, Granville launched the offense more easily, and his teammates moved more actively. They knew that the two brothers on the back line would deliver the ball to them, provided they ran out of opportunities.
On the other side, another characteristic of Arenas that impressed Li Ao also began to show.
As the game reaches a critical moment, Arenas instinctively plays calmer. When it's time to burst, when it's time to shoot, when it's time to pass, the anger that Li Ao brought to him actually made him play more calmly at this time.
In the following time, the two teams fought back and forth in a lively manner. The scores rose alternately. You had a climax, and I responded with a wave of impact.
Arenas has shown his extraordinary talent that gets stronger as he plays in critical stages. In this regard, he is obviously better than everyone else.
Gardner's running, catching and shooting, mid-range and long-range shots in singles, and breakthrough points. When it's time for him to perform, he will never show mercy.
Richard Jefferson locked down Li Ao's inside scoring, and also did a good job of covering up defense and assisting in defense, helping Woods share the pressure of covering up defense.
Michael Wright was a little overwhelmed when he met Shelby Jordan, but at least he was able to contain the opponent's strongest defensive player, creating space for Arenas and Gardner to break through. Richard Jefferson also had Better entry opportunities.
Woods did not play well offensively tonight. When faced with Brusenthal, who can stretch the shot, his rim protection can only be said to be quite satisfactory, but at least he did not let the inside line become a sieve. The problem of being too thin will be solved in a short period of time. Can't be solved.
On the other side, assisted by Li Ao, Granville played very freely, with top speed, outstanding vision, precise passing, and the threat of close-range throws. He played very well.
White Mamba's running mid-range shots, Brusenthal's excellent inside offensive skills and mid-range shots, and Shelby Jordan's one-on-one defense against Michael Wright all did a great job.
Li Ao's presence was greatly reduced at this time, and it was not as eye-catching as it was in the second half of the first half.
But his teammates played very comfortably. It is so rare to have such a talented young teammate.
The Trojans' coaching staff gave him so many opportunities largely because of this fact in him, and he would not do anything he couldn't do unless necessary.
Even Root Olsen on the opposite side was surprised by this.
The game was very intense, and the fans at the scene were very excited to watch. They liked being able to take away the opponent with a wave of impact, but they were even more excited about such an anxious and intense game.
Such a strong opponent, such a fierce game, if they win, they will laugh out loud thinking about basketball this Christmas holiday.
At the end of the game, the score was still tight.
At 19 minutes and 22 seconds into the second half, Li Ao caught the ball on the left side of the free throw line and took a mid-range shot...hit!
95 to 94, the Trojans went ahead by 1 point!
At the critical moment, Li Ao was not impatient on the defensive end, and calmly ran to catch and shoot on the offensive end, and made key goals.
With this goal, Li Ao gained countless fans! The fans at the scene were shouting his name.
In transition, the Wildcats attack.
Arenas now wants to respond immediately to Li Ao's shot just now.
Li Ao scored, and Arenas felt even more uncomfortable than when he hit the iron.
There were only 39 seconds left in the game, and the Wildcats did not call a timeout. They had already used up three timeouts in the second half.
However, Arenas did not rush to attack. After advancing past halftime, he passed the ball to Gardner to waste time.
As a super genius who is top-notch from the head down, Arenas' talent is overflowing, and he can always instinctively make more favorable choices at this time.
The Trojans team worked hard and focused on defense.
But opportunities were still created by the opponent.
Arenas made a rare active move and used a screen from the top arc to reach the right sideline. He received a close-range pass from Richard Jefferson and faced Brusenthal, who was changing defense, and shot a three-pointer...hit!
The shouts of 'defense' at the scene stopped instantly and bursts of sighs broke out. At this moment, the fans were as annoyed as the Trojans players on the field.
The referee confirmed that the shot was from outside the three-point line, and the score was 97 to 95. The Wildcats went ahead by two points at the critical moment!
The Trojans call timeout!
In this round of offense, the Wildcats almost ran out of 35 seconds of offensive time, leaving only 9 seconds for the Trojans.
Returning to the bench, Li Ao saw the frustration and annoyance of his teammates. He said loudly: "Kang is busy, Kang is busy, don't be like your girlfriend who was slept with by someone else. We still have 9 seconds! We haven't lost yet... You guys Just treat your girlfriend as being slept with by the other person, don’t you want to respond harshly to the other person?”
Henry Bibby's prepared words of encouragement to the players were suppressed.
When he heard this, he wanted to hit someone, and Li Ao's teammates looked fierce.
Do you want to beat this guy up together?
Just slap him in the face. This guy in the golden bell and iron cloth shirt only trained on his face. If he hits other places, he will be injured.
It just so happened that they had been envious, jealous and hating this guy's little puppy face for a long time.
But just think about it, they finally chose to put their anger on their opponents.
Now we can definitely win a group fight, but in hindsight we will probably have to go out in groups every day to ensure safety.
Henry Bibby snorted, forget it, at least the team members were in high spirits. He took the time to make adjustments: "Brandon, Brian, David, you three come on..."
Originally, the other two of him subconsciously wanted to send Charles and Trepagnier. These two people would assist, and the three in front would be the main attacker.
But after naming the three strongest offensive players, his GPU quickly ran out a picture in his mind that he made 7 of 9 shots tonight, plus 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 17 points, ranking first on the team. The figure of the second tallest boy.
If you want to send this guy, then...
"Leo, Sam, come on!"
Hearing Henry Bibby's words, the players had mixed reactions.
Li Ao and Sam Clancy were ecstatic; Trepagnier was very reluctant; Charles didn't care...
Others further understood the extent to which Li Ao was now valued.
But Li Ao felt really good tonight. In the second half, he made 2 of 4 and 1 of 2 free throws to score 5 points.
After making personnel adjustments, Henry Bibby took the time to make tactical arrangements...
…
After the timeout, Li Ao played with four teammates including Granville, Sam Clancy, White Mamba, and Brusenthal.
After the atmosphere of the fans at the scene was low for a while, they once again let out deafening cheers to cheer for the players.
He looked across and saw the fivesome of Arenas, Rick Anderson, Richard Jefferson, Luke Walton, and Woods walking onto the court.
Just as he speculated that the opponent would make personnel adjustments, he replaced the best defensive lineup.
Patting his chest, Li Ao came out of bounds.
The Trojans served the ball from the center line. The referee blew the whistle to start the game and sent the ball to Li Ao. Arenas stayed inside the three-point line and did not press it out. Li Ao easily sent the ball to Granville and then ran to three seconds area to the left.
When Granville saw his teammates in position, he immediately broke through and launched an attack!
Li Ao followed the tactics and cut into the basket, then immediately ran back to the left side of the three-second zone.
Granville rushed to the right side of the three-second zone to attract a double attack, and passed the ball to the left back to Li Ao.
What Li Ao has to do at this time is to pass the ball to White Mamba coming out from the right side of the three-second zone, or to Sam Clancy cutting in.
Luke Walton, who was guarding the White Mamba, went to flank Granville. This was a good opportunity, but Arenas became active on the defensive end at this time and took the initiative to switch to guard the White Mamba and go around!
On Sam Clancy's side, Woods is in a good position, so he probably won't have to pass the ball.
Brusenthal was under the basket, but Richard Jefferson blocked the passing route!
Seeing that there were 3 seconds left on the clock, Li Ao did not hesitate any longer and gave the order with a sudden movement of his heart!
The 'only' killing move was originally intended to be used in a big match to show off... It's a big enough event tonight!
"Consumption card: Killer, has been used. The remaining time in the game is less than 30 seconds. The conditions for use are met. The all-round shooting ability for the rest of the game is +10. The host designated this shot as a one-hit kill shot. This shot It feels hot…”
Li Ao immediately jumped after giving the command. Richard Jefferson pounced on him immediately, bursting with acceleration, speed, and bounce. With all three configurations, you can get in. Brother-in-law Shen successfully jumped in place, extending his hand upwards. Blocking Li Ao's regular shooting route.
But Li Ao guessed that the opponent could interfere in place, so he leaned back when taking off!
Moreover, Richard Jefferson's eyes widened when he saw this amount of backwardness in the air. Is this serious?
This backward angle is definitely more than 45 degrees!
But he saw that Li Ao pushed the ball out very smoothly. This was really this guy's fadeaway jumper!
The moment he took action, Li Ao felt silky smooth as he had never felt before...
'Catching and shooting expert', mid-range shooting +3, 'killer', mid-range shooting +10. With this ball, his mid-range shooting increased to 87! NCAA top mid-range shooter!
And he has a hot touch on this ball!
After throwing the ball, Li Ao lost his balance and fell uncontrollably to the floor.
It didn't matter what the pain was. When the ball flew past Richard Jefferson's fingertips, drew a beautiful arc and fell into the frame, Li Ao heard the explosive cheers from the scene and jumped up like a carp.
In!
He faced Richard Jefferson's throwback... No, he made a layup shot!
When the fans and teammates saw him shooting like this, they all thought it was finished.
I didn’t expect to get in!
Brusenthal, who was nearest, rushed up and hugged Li Ao. Others also wanted to celebrate with hugs or high-fives. Even Sam Clancy put aside his grudges at this moment, and the second one came up and asked for a hug... But he was pushed away by Li Ao!
The words "Are you pretty?" reached Sam Clancy's throat, but he didn't curse. He saw Li Ao rushing back toward the backcourt.
Arenas is about to fall!
More than one second left!
No. 0 on the opposite side plays a sneak attack!
Luke Walton served the ball from a long distance, and his passing ability was excellent, and it was sent to Arenas who had just ran across the center line.
Arenas received the ball, turned around and shot directly. There was no time to adjust, and the take-off was not enough. However, he was extremely confident and felt great when he shot. He thought the ball would definitely go in... "Pop"...
The crisp sound of the block reached Arenas's ears, and he saw a hand slapping the ball away from his head!
"Beep..."
The long whistle sounds and regular time is over!
After the referee confirmed the score with the technical table, he blew the whistle and entered overtime!
Li Ao and Arenas collided with each other when they landed. Arenas jumped out in advance and almost fell to pieces.
After standing firm, Arenas half bent over and turned to look at Li Ao.
Li Ao raised the corners of his mouth and opened his arms to enjoy the cheers of the fans!
The mid-range shot that equalized the score + blocked shots, he has won the recognition of the fans at the scene!
