Can t touch it! Five foul masters in active service: Trae Young lost the election, Harden was still strong in the last year

There are many ways to score in the NBA. Some players are good at shooting three-pointers, some are good at inside killing, and some are good at creating foul free throws. Although this scoring method is disliked by many fans, being able to score high points can help the team win, and they achieve their goal. In addition, the league also recommends some stars, and their cylinders look much bigger than ordinary players. Next, let’s take a look at the five masters who are best at creating fouls at the moment.

Butler

Although Butler scored high scores, his main way of scoring comes from free throws and inside kills. When the team needs to score, Butler will choose to break through and kill. Even if he doesn't score, he has a 70% chance of getting free throws. It is precisely because of this guarantee that Butler can lead the team to the finals twice in the playoffs. Top stars have their own stable scoring methods. Butler is best at making fouls.

Butler did not have so many whistles in his early career. Since joining the Heat, he has become the darling of the referee. Now the Warriors are still the same. And after joining the Warriors, he seems to have more whistles. It is probably the effect of the big ball market. Butler averaged 7.7 free throws per game this season, and he could score 6.7 points with free throws. In the playoffs, he averaged 7.3 free throws and scored 5.8 points. You should know that he averaged 19.2 points per game in the playoffs.

Doncic

Doncic was good at making fouls when he first entered the league. His ball quotient was extremely high. Although his speed was slow, his mind was quick. As long as the opponent was deceived by his fake moves, he would likely make a foul. In the early stage of his career, Doncic was good at forward jump shots, and his ability to make fouls at the three-point line was very terrifying. Although the league has reduced calls outside the three-point line in the past few years, Doncic can still make an opponent's fouls when entering the free throw.

Doncic has averaged 8.9 free throws per game in the regular season after joining the Lakers this season. Relying on his excellent free throws, he can still score high points even if his offensive efficiency is not high. Doncic also showed his ability to make fouls this season. He averaged 9.2 free throws per game and 30.2 points per game. He averaged 20.8 shots per game. In addition to his outstanding personal ability, his ability to make fouls is also the key.

Harden

The reason why the league stopped the body bragging outside the three-point line was because Harden was too good at making fouls. When he was crazy back then, Harden even made a layup with his opponent's arm, but the opponent also made a foul. Because of this reason, many teams chose to defend Harden behind him, or with his hands behind his back, and did not dare to stretch out his hand. Whoever stretched out was irritating. Harden also relied on this style of play and won the scoring champion who had been several times.

Although Harden is now at the end of his career, he is not as many whistles as before, but his basic skills are still there and his football dealer is still there. As long as the opponent dares to leak defensive flaws, Harden will definitely make him pay the price. Harden averages 7.3 free throws per game in the regular season this season, but in the playoffs this season, Harden doesn't get many whistles. The main reason is that he lacks aggressiveness on the offensive end. As long as Harden opens his firepower, it is still easy to get the whistle.

Embid

The Great Emperor did not get much chance to show his ability to commit fouls due to injury this season. I believe everyone has seen Embiid before this season. He has too strong fouls. On the one hand, he has too great advantages in the inside, and his opponent can only limit him by fouls. On the other hand, Embiid's acting is too realistic and often has habitual fake falls. Embiid was also a favorite of the league back then, and has won many league scoring kings for this.

Embid had suffered a serious injury before and has undergone surgery. I don't know if he can recover and return. If he cannot recover, he may be confiscated by the referee. This season's leading team averaged only 16.6 shots per game due to injury, and as a result, he was able to score 8.9 free throws and score 7.8 points. Before Alexander, Embiid was the number one darling. He averaged more than 10 free throws per game for four consecutive seasons before this season, which is so terrifying.

Alexander

Today, Alexander became a hot search for frequent fouls. To be honest, the call Alexander received in this game is nothing. I have seen a more ruthless person in the regular season. Alexander is very good at creating fouls. When he takes action in the middle distance, he jumps to his opponent to commit fouls. The defenders can't even hide in time. It is unheard of to score such as falling and hitting 2+1. However, the Thunder team said that this is a killer move that Alexander practiced hard during the offseason.

Alexander averaged 21.8 shots and 8.8 free throws per game in the regular season of this season, and averaged 7.9 points per game. After the start of the playoffs, Alexander also had more free throws. He averaged 21.4 shots per game and scored 29.2 points. He averaged 9.2 free throws per game, and he could score 7.8 points by relying on free throws, which was simply unpredictable. Having said that, what do you want to say about these five players?
