Introducing the Zelfie: Z's new trick shot...

[CMC'72]

Azura seems to have invented a new trick shot for her resume. It seems to be unique and kind of a new signature shot. It seems to go like this:

She catches the ball on the right side of the net, throws the ball up and over the basket while sliding past her defender and under the basket, then manages to deftly catch the ball on the left side, as if she threw a pass to herself, then finishes the trick shot with a lefty layup for a clean 2.

Unless I was dreaming, I believe I saw it 2-3 times in the St Francis game.

Should we invent a name for Z's new trick shot?

Or am I still dreaming??

 

[JoePgh]

The Stat-Padder?

Well, it works for rebounds, not so much for shooting percentage.

 

[Gus Mahler]

The Malone Alone.

BTW, as mentioned somewhere else, I think she got fouled on two of those misses. Or not.

Noticed that as well. I made the comment in the chat that Z was great at putting back her own misses.

Good possibility for a name!

Seems to me Z is always getting fouled. It often appears as if 3-4 newborn blind birds jostling for position who believe Z is their mother and supposed to have food for them:

I don't know if you are still dreaming or not, but she did it three times. She gets a rebound, assist and basket all at once.

 

[Bronxjeff]

I thought we got away with a self pass, but I guess the ball touched something or someone else.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

How about " The Giggler?" She likes to giggle and it looks like she's juggling and we could call it The Juggler - duh. Been a long day. Time to hit the lights.

 

[ProSkeptic]

My take was that she missed a bunny, but I like your "reframing" it as a trick shot. How about the "Oops, I Did It Again?"

It shall be called a travel!

truth, unless the ball touches the backboard

Geno would say she learned it from Tina C.

Ok, how bout "the Triple Ziggler" since she gets a rebound, a foul, and a basket?
Any votes for that?

 

[my2cents]

Its called a Z-bound

 

[oldude]

In this era of smart phones, Maybe we should call it a "Zelfie"

That is great!

 

[Kaizen]

I call it Z-p ..... Z-p ....Z-p

 

[CMC'72]

That is great!

Zelfie has the lead!

 

[HoopsFan21]

I hope Z gets 30 tonight!

 

[Sifaka]

Z + bunny = bunnzee ?

 

[stamfordhusky]

As pointed out in the other threa

As pointed out in the other thread, it is not a travel if the refs think it was a legitimate shot attempt. It is irrelevant whether it touches backboard or rim under NCAA rules.

Ball has to touch a player rim or backboard.

 

[Roger G]

In the NCAA, if the referee determines that a player attempted a shot, even if it did not hit the rim or backboard, the player can rebound the ball and continue play, according to Answers.com.
