For an interior player, the quality of free throws is actually very important.

In many games, especially at the last critical moment, there are a lot of free throws, and if the free throws are accurate, a foul by others is equivalent to giving away points, and tall interior players are easy to cause defensive fouls on the opponent.

Yao Ming heard that Niu Ren chose free throws, especially when he heard the reason why he chose free throws, and felt that this was a player with self-knowledge who knew what his advantages were, so he was especially looking forward to his free throw performance.

Yao Ming glanced at the audience and said with a smile: "No. 2 Niu Ren chose the free throw event, does anyone want to challenge the free throw?" If you want to challenge, please stand up before my next 10-second countdown ends, ten, nine......"

Free throws are a must-practice for basketball enthusiasts, and the difficulty coefficient is not large, but many times depending on the feel, when the hand feels good, it is possible to shoot nine out of ten or even ten shots, and it is not impossible to shoot five out of ten if the hand feels bad.

However, practicing is completely different from when facing instructors, players, and cameras, and it is easy to get nervous, which may lead to problems with the feel.

In addition, many people think that basketball is a very confrontational sports competition, even if the free throw is very good, it will not be very outstanding, and it is unlikely that the mentor will pass it directly if he wins.

Li Huan saw on the screen that Hao Shuai had some impatient gestures, and Li Huan knew that Hao Shuai's mid-range shooting was very good, and such players generally made free throws more accurately, plus Niu Ren's popularity in the voting was very high, ranking second, Li Huan had reason to believe that Hao Shuai would come out to challenge.

Sure enough, Li Huan's guess was verified, and when Yao Ming shouted three, Hao Shuai couldn't help but stand up and signal that he wanted to challenge, and rushed to the field.

At this time, Arctic also rushed to the middle of the field, which was not unexpected, Li Huan was already familiar with Arctic, and knew that the opponent's mid-range shot was also very advantageous, and free throws were naturally not a problem.

At the end of the 10-second countdown, a total of two players will come on the court to challenge Niu Ren's free throws, so the next thing is to see who Niu Ren will choose.

When Yao Ming asked Niu Ren who to choose, Niu Ren actually didn't have a score in his heart, and he was not familiar with the two players, so he pointed to one casually, which was No. 85 Hao Shuai.

Hao Shuai, who was selected, was very excited, and the North Pole, who didn't get the opportunity to challenge, was a little depressed, so he had to wave to everyone and return to the sidelines.

This was the first time that the East Block had a free throw competition, and Yao Ming read out the rules of the free throw competition.

The rule is fairly simple, each player throws a total of 10 times at the free throw line, and whoever hits the most shots wins, and if the game is tied, then another round is played until the winner is decided.

The winner is passed or to be determined, and the loser is pending or eliminated, subject to the opinion of the mentor.

The first to go to the free throw line for free throws was No. 2 Niuren.

"Come on!"

"Niu Niu, you are the best, we are optimistic about you."

"The bull is so strong, you see his arms, they are as thick as my legs."

"The bull is lethal under the basket, I just don't know how his free throws are."

"It's said that the free throw basket of the bull is very accurate, and we will wait and see."

There is also a beautiful referee in the East Block, her name is Zhou Meifen, and her appearance before caused a warm response from the players, which will Zhou Meifen pass the ball to Niu Ren and announce the start of ten free throws.

After receiving the basketball, the bull first slapped a few times to familiarize himself, and then spun it in his hand a few times, and then aimed at the basket and threw the ball.

Li Huan saw that Manniu's shooting posture was a little clumsy, but the feel was actually quite soft, although the posture standard was more important, but being able to score goals was the most important thing.

Grandpa Deng once said that no matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, a good cat is one who can catch mice.

In fact, it's the same when you switch to the basketball court, no matter how you shoot, what you can throw is a good shot.

The first goal of the bull really went in, which shows that although his posture is not good-looking, it is actually effective.

The audience on the sidelines cheered, "Brute, so handsome......"

The beautiful referee stretched out her index finger and pressed down to make a gesture and said, "The first penalty goal is valid, please prepare to throw the second ball." ”

The bull was steady, still in that weird position on the second shot, and then he still threw the ball into the basket.

Scoring two free throws in a row isn't really a big deal, and most players can do it.

But Niu Ren is a tall man with a height of 207 cm and a weight of 132 kg, and he is not a professional player, so his free throws have been recognized by many people, and most of the players on the sidelines cheered for him.

He made five free throws in a row, and Niu Ren did not miss any of them, showing his steadiness.

It can be seen that he must have worked free throws.

And Niu Ren always has a smiling expression when shooting, this appearance is still quite popular, and it looks like it makes people feel honest and cute.

Yao Ming was paying attention to Niu Ren's free throws from time to time, and at the same time, he did not give up observing Hao Shuai's expression.

If Niu Ren didn't care about scoring Hao Shuai at the beginning, then when Niu Ren threw the free throws one by one, his heart sank, he really didn't expect Niu Ren to be so stable in the free throws, and he didn't miss half of the shots.

But what made Hao Shuai even more desperate was that Niu Ren's next five balls were still as steady as before, and finally ended the free throw project with ten free throws and ten hits, which made the applause and cheers given to him by the players on the sidelines last for a long time.

"Now I have to ask No. 85 Hao Shuai to play free throws, and No. 2 Niu Ren, you go down and rest first." Yao Ming gave Niu Ren a praising smile, he was very satisfied with Niu Ren's free throw performance just now, and he had carefully studied all the players who entered the second round this time before the group match.

The best candidate for the No. 1 position in his heart is Li Huan, the No. 2 position is Cheng Ning, the No. 3 position is Anthony, the No. 4 position is Lan Zizai, and the No. 5 position is Niu Ren in front of him.

It's a pity that except for Niu Ren, the other four people who came to the east block went to other neighborhoods.

In Yao Ming's opinion, this is actually a very normal thing, it is already very good to be able to get one of them, plus the team members may change at any time in the subsequent stage, and there is still a chance to reorganize with these players, so he is not in a hurry.

In the face of ten free throws and ten hits from the wild bull, Hao Shuai, who was on the field, really felt a lot of pressure.

And although he is a member of the Zhijiang University basketball team, Zhijiang University did not enter the top four in the competition area in the college basketball league this time, so he did not receive much attention when he entered the school team for the first time, and was easily knocked out by Li Huan in the direct challenge of the audition, so he was not favored by most players in the East Block.

Such a scene made Hao Shuai really feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Hao Shuai's shooting skills are still very solid, and the first shot went in as he wished.

Yao Ming, who was sitting on the edge of the stands, saw Hao Shuai's free throws and shooting posture, and nodded slightly with satisfaction, indicating that this player could shoot.

Sure enough, Hao Shuai didn't miss a few free throws in the next round, and finally handed in the answer sheet with eight out of ten shots, which is actually his average free throw level, indicating that he did not fall short because of pressure.

Yao Ming finally announced: "No. 2 Niu Ren's free throw basket was very solid, with ten shots and ten hits, so he was approved and became the first member of the Eastern Dragon King team." No. 85 player Hao Shuai, who made eight free throws out of ten, performed well and is to be determined for the time being. ”

Happy National Day to all!
