What are the weirdest free throws in the NBA?

Hayes is not just a coolie around Yao Ming. In fact, he has many opportunities to attack, and of course he has many opportunities to go to the free throw line. At a height of 198CM, he is even more clumsy at the free throw line than Yao Ming at a height of 226CM. Hayes relaxes the pressure by taking a deep breath, then slaps twice, takes a deep breath again, lifts the ball, squats his legs, and bounces like a spring. At this time, if you don't understand Hayes' habit of free throws, it is very likely that he will enter the line prematurely and form a free throw violation, because many people will think that the ball has been shot when his body "bounces" and leans forward, or that he is going to shoot. In fact, Hayes still has the ball at this time, and he will slowly shoot the ball at the basket until his whole body is straight. The whole set of free throws is rigid and out of touch. On the local channel 5 1 in Houston, Bill werrell, who was a live commentator with drexler, once humorously explained that Hayes' free throw was like shooting backwards.

gilbert arenas

Arenas also has his own unique free throw method. Every time he receives the referee's ball, he wraps the ball around his waist three times in one breath, then beats the ball three times rhythmically, holding the ball in his left hand and wiping his pants with his right hand. After completing this series of preparations, Arenas began to make free throws. Arenas has an unexpected explanation for his complicated preparation procedure before the free throw. He said that he was recalling the technique of free throws and taking a rest. Hamilton, the masked man who stayed in the Wizards, used to be similar to Arenas before the free throw. Is this kind of free throw popular in Washington?

Gordon

Gordon, the key Mr. Bull, likes to make opponents foul and then score easily from the free throw line. The first thing Gordon did at the free throw line was to take two deep breaths, then practice free throws, and then take a short rest. After concentrating, Gordon put the ball in his left hand. He will make a special simulated free throw before the real free throw. This unique simulation action is more like helping him find the line of sight of free throws. After finding the feeling of free throw, Gordon bent his knees and finally finished the free throw. Gordon revealed that his free throw action was only formed in his sophomore year.

Francis

Before the free throw, Francis will touch the cross tattoo on the armguard of his right arm with his left hand, which also says "InMemory". Then he will bend his legs and clap the ball three times, turn the ball in his hand, and then lift the ball to the back of his head and throw it into the basket. Throughout the free throw, Francis will always stare at the basket. Francis's eccentric free throw posture is in memory of his mother, who died when he was ten years old. He said that he prayed for his mother every time he made a free throw.

Kyd

As one of the best point guards in the league, Kidd's career shooting percentage of 77.8% is really not good, but his affectionate free throw method is the most romantic free throw in NBA. Kidd always wipes his hands on his pants before each free throw, leans his legs slightly against the basket, holds the ball in his left hand, blows a kiss to his wife with his right hand, and then sends the ball out. The whole action is beautiful. According to Kidd himself, every time he blew a kiss at a free throw, it was a gift to his beloved wife: "This is not only out of habit, but also to let my wife know that I miss her all the time." But Kidd's loving free throws didn't improve his free throw percentage, and his wife didn't appreciate it. Now they are divorced, so Kidd also changed this weird free throw posture in his current free throw.

Nash

Nash is probably the most unhygienic one on the NBA free throw line. As the player with the second highest free throw percentage (94.6%) in the league, his signature free throw action is really unacceptable. Every time at the free throw line, Nash will comb his messy long hair (he will wipe the sweat on his forehead twice after cutting it short), rub his hands on the sole twice, then add his hands with his tongue and make two free throws with his bare hands, which is the official free throw. Nash's unhygienic free-throw method has kept his free-throw percentage as high as 89.5% in his career, probably because his saliva has magical power!

Stackhouse

Stackhouse is a gifted student in North Carolina, a famous basketball school and Jordan's younger brother. His basic skills are naturally excellent. Now the talented Mavericks have become the sixth person in the team, and their offensive ability and foul-making ability are still old-fashioned, but it is really indecent for him to make toilet-like free throws at the free throw line. He always bends his legs to the maximum at the free throw line and then gets up to shoot. The whole free throw process is no different from squatting in the toilet. In stackhouse's past career, that unique way of free throw has become a landscape of NBA. A reporter once asked him why he developed that strange free throw posture, and stackhouse gave the answer: When I made free throws, my mother always stood by and shouted at me: "Bend your knees! Bend your knees! ..... "I had to do what she said, and then I got a penalty.

O'Neal

O 'Neill swept the basket, but he was a typical "soft egg" on the free throw line. Although his career free throw percentage is only 52.6%, he has a famous saying: "No matter how you make free throws, you must score when you deserve it." The poor free throw percentage is probably related to the shark's natural strange free throw posture. Every time a shark stands on the penalty line in pain, he wipes the sweat off his left forehead with his left hand, then wipes the sweat off his right forehead with his right hand, then opens his fingers and pushes the damn ball out like a shot put with his big hand. O 'Neill specially invited many experts on free throws to correct him, but after a while, he returned to the shot put method on the free throw line.

Ma Long

Compared with Malone's clean mid-range shooting, his shooting at the free throw line is a waste of time. League 10 second free throw time is less than 9.9 seconds, and away fans are used to helping him count down when he makes a free throw. Stranger still, before he made a free throw, he would hold the ball in his hand and toss it back and forth. During this time, he will talk to himself and mumble something, just like a wizard chanting a spell. People who have done good deeds ask lip experts to interpret what "spells" they are reading. As a result, these experts don't even know what language Malone speaks, let alone find out what he is reading. Malone himself has revealed that the content is different every time. Some people joked that he read 38387, which is Jabbar's total score record in NBA.

Rick Barry

Rick barry is the father of brent barry and Joan Barry. Rick barry is the youngest player to score 50 points in a single game in more than 60 years of NBA history. In addition, he still maintains the title of the weirdest and most incredible free throw posture. His unique skill is the so-called women's urinal free throw, and no one in the NBA dares to challenge it so far. At the free throw, he grabbed the ball with both hands from bottom to top. This ugly free throw posture has a surprisingly high hit rate. During the NBA's 65,438+00 season, he kept a terrible 90% free throw percentage in his career, and should rank second in the NBA regular-season free throw percentage list.
