I don’t know if my understanding of it, Xiaofeng, is wrong, or if other authors wrote it wrong. When Xiaofeng just read other college basketball articles, all the fouls written were 11, which made Xiaofeng a little unconfident.

Okay, let’s use Xiaofeng’s understanding~

The NCAA free throw rule that Xiaofeng understands is that 11 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, if you accumulate 4 fouls in a single quarter, you will go directly to the free throw line.

NCAA shooting fouls are not 11, the number of free throws is given based on the number of free throws inside and outside the three-point line.

11 does not happen often. In a game with loose defense, 11 is not seen even once in a game.

…

…

The opponent is Gilbert Arenas, Agent Zero, the man with the gun who will leave a long-lasting reputation in the basketball world 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, you should not be embarrassed.

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 as soon as he saw the opportunity for his teammates, 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 itself.

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 Li Ao brought to him actually made him play calmer 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 the more he plays in the critical stage. He is obviously better than everyone else in this aspect.

Gardner's movements include catching and shooting, mid-range and long-range shots in singles, and breakthroughs. When it's time for him to perform, he will never be lenient.

Richard Jefferson locked down Li Ao's inside scoring, and also did a good job of covering up and assisting in defense, helping Woods share the pressure of covering up the 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

Provides better entry opportunities.

Woods did not play well offensively tonight. When faced with Brusenthal, who can open up and shoot, 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 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 my 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 his ability to do things 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 intense and intense game.

Such a strong opponent, such a fierce game, if they win, they will laugh out loud thinking about basketball during 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 the ball on the offensive end, and scored the key goal.

With this goal, Li Ao gained countless fans! The fans at the scene were shouting his name.

In transition, the Wildcats attack.

Arenas now really wants to respond immediately to Li Ao's shot just now.

Li Ao scored a goal, and Arenas felt even more uncomfortable than if he had 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 and passed the ball to Gardner after advancing past halftime 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 entire Trojans team worked hard and focused on defense.

But opportunities were still created by the opponent.

Arenas made a rare active move, borrowing a screen from the top arc to come to the right sideline, 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 upset 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!

Trojans call timeout!

In this attack, 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, keep 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 with the golden bell and iron cloth shirt is only trained on his face. If he hits other places, he will be injured.

It just so happens that they have 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 the future we will probably have to go out in groups every day to ensure safety.

Henry Bibby sighed, 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 in 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 points, his GPU quickly ran out a picture in his mind that he made 7 of 9 shots tonight, plus 3 of 4 free throws, and 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. He also made 2 of 4 in the second half, plus 1 of 2 free throws to score 5 points.

After making personnel adjustments, Henry Bibby took the time to make tactical arrangements...

…

After returning from the timeout, Li Ao played with four teammates including Granville, Sam Clancy, White Mamba, and Brusenthal.

After the atmosphere at the scene was low for a while, the fans roared with deafening cheers again to cheer for the players.

He looked across the way and saw the fivesome of Arenas, Rick Anderson, Richard Jefferson, Luke Walton, and Woods walking onto the court.

Just like the personnel adjustments he speculated the opponent would make, the team with the best defense was replaced.

Li Ao patted his chest and 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 the three-second

area to the left.

When Granville saw his teammates in position, he immediately broke through and launched an attack!

According to the tactics, Li Ao cut into the basket and 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.
