Chapter 123
Why does everyone think that China can only produce big men and centers when they mention Chinese basketball players?
On the one hand, it is because Yao Ming’s influence is too great. As the only Chinese player who is the core of an NBA team, Yao Ming has unparalleled strength. The wide popularity has also led people to subconsciously associate playing basketball with big men. Such conversations are often heard around:
"Why don't you play basketball when you are so tall?"

"I, I can't play basketball."

"Hey, it's not for nothing that this big guy is blind!"

On the other hand, it is also because with the development of basketball, the technical requirements for guards and strikers in the game are much higher than those for centers.

In ancient times, the center was the most important core of a basketball team. People at that time believed in "the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate", so a large number of super centers emerged, such as Russell, Chamberlain, Jay Barr, wait, basketball at that time was dominated by giants.

Later, with the development of the skills of small players and the increasingly severe defense around the basket, it was not as easy as before to overwhelm the sea under the basket, and the birth of Michael Jordan represented the transition from the era of center forwards to the heyday of guards. Barkley, Olajuwon, and Shaquille O'Neal and other super centers behind them, but the ones who dominate the league have become small ones. Kobe, Iverson, McGrady, Carter, the four major guards are all the rage. The limelight is much higher than the top big men like Duncan and Garnett.

In the early days, the offensive scoring basically relied on the center forward to gouge inside. The scoring method was either hand-to-hand with big men, or playing footwork, or hooking; later, the scoring area began to expand outward, and the scoring method became mid-range. Jump shots, post-up jump shots, breakthrough layups; later, with the emergence of Curry, an epoch-making player, the scoring area began to concentrate on the three-point line, and the scoring methods became pick-and-roll three-pointers, pull-up three-pointers, super long three points.

That is to say, with the development of the times, the advancement of technology, and the back and forth changes of the rules, in modern basketball, a good guard is far more helpful to the team than a good center, and the center is basically scoring. Defense and rebounding, while guards or strikers need to do their own offense and defense and plan the offense of the entire team with the ball at the same time.

This is also the reason why Ding Yanyuhang and Guo Ailun failed to make it to the NBA despite their top-level offensive abilities. An outside player needs to do too much. Although Channing's breakthrough shook Nowitzki away, it is not so easy to directly attack the basket.

Not to mention Dampier staring at the front and trying to block shots, Jason Kidd's assisted defense on the single flank made Channing feel a threat that he had never felt before.

Seeing that the boss Dirk Nowitzki was completely wiped out from beyond the three-point line, Jason Kidd stood up again and took on the Mavericks' second line of defense.

Kidd is worthy of being the guy who has won the best defensive player many times. He judges accurately and moves quickly. He immediately moves to Channing's breakthrough route. He stands firmly and wants to make Channing's offensive foul.

"so troublesome!"

At this moment, Channing felt what a championship team is. The defense of the Mavericks is not only terrifying because of the combination of Kidd, Harris, and Josh Howard who are good at individual defense, but also their overall defense is also the best. The top one breaks through the outermost line of defense, and someone immediately fills up the second line of defense. Even if Channing quickly changes direction halfway, avoids an offensive foul, and barely squeezes past Kidd, Dampier has already prepared the third line The line of defense awaits him.

At that time, Qian Ning, who was already at the end of his strength, would be blocked by the big hat in all likelihood.

Thinking of this, Channing couldn't help complaining to Dalembert again in his heart. If this guy took the initiative to give up the inside space to break through, Channing would not have to pull out the three-point line, and he could single-handedly attack Nowitzki near the free throw line. The closer distance to the basket also ensures that Channing encounters fewer defensive lines and has a higher offensive efficiency.

It was useless to say anything at this moment, and Channing, who was fully up to speed, slammed on the brakes desperately. Although he passed the ball to Miller who was open at the fastest speed, he still couldn't control his body and knocked down. Kidd.

"beep!"

The referee blows a whistle, an offensive foul!

"Ugh!"

Unexpectedly, the first offensive attempt at the beginning of the game was taught a lesson. Qian Ning sighed. It seems that the attack with the ball requires too many skills. , these need to be improved step by step.

Jason Kidd's plan succeeded, he patted his butt to get up, and smiled cunningly at Channing.

"Young man, you still have a long way to go."

"What an old monster, the older you get, the more monster you get."

The unexpected crossover started and the unexpected offensive foul ended. Qian Ning was always so unpredictable. Ke Fan and Su Qun looked at each other, feeling a little pity.

Billy King laughed heartily again at this time. He thought that Channing really developed an offense. Now it seems that the extraordinary change just now was just luck. It was a false alarm, and Billy King raised his glass again After drinking tea, his subordinates also took the opportunity to attack Qian Ning again.

The Mavericks had the ball, and on the way back to defense, Channing was still thinking about the mistake just now.

The reason why modern basketball has such high requirements for guards and strikers is because the ball is mainly concentrated in the hands of guards and strikers. No matter how strong the center is, it can only be used as the end point of the attack, but not the starting point of the attack.Because of this, the initiation and changes of the offensive tactics of the entire team are all dominated by the ball holder, and they also face heavy defenses from the opponent.

A qualified ball handler not only has smooth ball control and qualified personal attack power, but also has the insight to observe changes in the defensive situation on the field at any time, as well as a very high ball quotient, qualified passing ability, calm With a brain and a selfless attitude, he needs to read the defense by himself, and decide when to rush, when to shoot, when to pass, when to go up by himself, and when to assist his teammates.

From this point of view, this has nothing to do with personal skills, but more about personal understanding of basketball, how to find the most suitable attack method, how to hit the opponent's weak link, this is also It is the real reason why Ding Yanyuhang and Guo Ailun cannot gain a foothold in the NBA. What they lack is not their personal offensive power, but their lack of understanding and judgment for high-level games since they were young in a relatively weak domestic basketball environment.
