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 198CM, he is even clumsier at the free throw line than Yao Ming at 226CM. Hayes relaxed the pressure by taking a deep breath, then took the racket twice, then took a deep breath again, lifted the ball, squatted down with his legs, and then bounced up 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 too early to form a free throw violation, because many people think that the ball has been shot while his body is "bouncing up" and leaning 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 was stiff and disjointed. In the live broadcast of the home game between the arrow and the Clippers on Houston's local channel 51, Bill Warrell, who was the live commentator with drexler, humorously explained: Hayes' free throws were just like shooting backwards.

Arenas

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

Gordon

Gordon, the key man of the Bulls, likes to make an opponent foul and then score points easily from the free throw line. The first thing Gordon did at the free throw line was to take two deep breaths, then practice the free throw, and then take a short rest. After concentrating, Gordon puts the ball in his left hand. Before the real free throw, he will make a special simulated free throw. This unique simulated action is more like helping him find the sight of the free throw. After finding the feeling of the free throw, Gordon bends his knees and finally completes the free throw. Gordon revealed that his free throw action was only formed in his sophomore year.

Francis

Before making a free throw, Francis will touch the cross tattoo on the arm guard of his right arm with his left hand, which also says "InMemory". Then he will clap the ball three times with his legs bent, turn the ball in his hand, then lift the ball behind his head and throw it into the basket. During the whole free throw, Francis will keep his eyes on the basket. Francis's eccentric free throw posture is to commemorate his mother, who died when he was ten years old. He said that every time he made a free throw, he prayed for his mother.

Kidd

As one of the best point guards in the league, Kidd's career free throw percentage of 77.8% is really not good, but his affectionate free throw method can be called the most romantic free throw in the NBA. Kidd always wipes his hands on his pants before every free throw, with his legs slightly bent against the basket, holding the ball in his left hand and blowing a kiss to his wife in his right hand, and then he sends the ball out. The whole movement is beautiful. According to Kidd himself, every time he blew a kiss on a free throw, it was a gift to his beloved wife: "It was not only out of habit, but also to let my wife know that I was thinking about her all the time." However, Kidd's love-filled free throw didn't improve his free throw percentage, and his wife didn't appreciate it. Now they are divorced, so Kidd has also changed this weird free throw posture in his current free throw.

Nash

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

stackhouse

stackhouse, a talented student in North Carolina, a famous basketball school, is Jordan's younger brother. His basic skills are naturally excellent. Now the talented Mavericks have become the sixth person in the team, and his attack ability and foul-making ability are still old-fashioned, but his toilet-style free throw at the free throw line is really indecent. He always bends his legs to the maximum at the free throw line, and then gets up and shoots. The whole free throw process is no different from squatting in the toilet. In stackhouse's past career, that unique free throw method has become a landscape in 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 penalty the ball.

o' neill

o' neill swept the army at the basket, but he was a typical "soft egg" on the free throw line. Although his career free throw percentage was only 52.6%, he famously said, "No matter what the free throws are, you must score when it is time to score." The poor free-throw hit rate is probably related to the shark's natural strange free-throw posture. Every time the shark stands on the free-throw line in pain, he first wipes off the sweat on his left forehead with his left hand, then wipes off the sweat on his right forehead with his right hand, then opens his fingers and pushes the damn ball out like a shot put with a big hand. O 'Neill specially invited many experts on free throws to correct it for him, but after a period of time, he returned to the way of putting the shot at the free throw line.

Compared with Malone's clean middle-distance shooting, his shooting at the free throw line was a waste of time, and he didn't shoot until the league stipulated that the 1-second free throw time was less than 9.9 seconds. The fans away from home were used to helping him count down the seconds when he made the free throw. What's even more strange is that before he makes a free throw, he will take the ball in his hand and toss it around. During this time, he will talk to himself and mumble something, like a wizard chanting a spell. People who have done good things have asked lip experts to interpret what "curse" he is reading. As a result, these experts don't even know what language Malone is speaking, let alone find out what he is reading. Malone himself has revealed that the content he reads is different every time. Someone joked that he read 38,387, 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 5 points in a single game in the history of more than 6 years in NBA. Besides, he still holds the title of the weirdest and most incredible free throw posture. His trick is commonly known as the woman's inverted urinal free throw, and no one in NBA dares to challenge it so far. When he made free throws, he grabbed the ball with both hands from the bottom up. This unsightly free throw posture hit rate was surprisingly high. During his 1 seasons in the NBA, he maintained a terrible 9% free throw percentage in his career, which should rank second in the NBA regular-season free throw percentage list.
