Bērziņš stands out in FIBA Europe Cup win by drawing an opponent's foul
Experienced player Jānis Bērziņš drew attention in Rīgas Zeļļi's victory in a FIBA Europe Cup basketball game. He skilfully sold an opponent's foul after that player swung his elbows too freely.
In basketball, a contact sport, the ability to make an opponent's foul visible to the officials is considered a valuable skill. On 28 October, in a FIBA Europe Cup game, a European club basketball competition, veteran player Jānis Bērziņš showed that skill. His team, Rīgas Zeļļi, won the game.
According to the Latvian sports outlet Sportacentrs, Bērziņš took advantage of a moment when an opposing player was swinging his elbows too aggressively, and he made the infraction clearly noticeable. The outlet published video of the episode. It described his performance with an ironic comparison to an Oscar-worthy piece of acting.
The source does not say which team Rīgas Zeļļi played, what the final score was, or at what stage of the competition the game took place.
