Introduction to the main positions on the basketball court

Point Guard (PG)

The Point Guard (Point Guard) is the person with the most chances to get the ball on the court. He has to bring the ball safely from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and then pass the ball to other teammates, so that others can have a chance to score. A qualified point guard must be able to carry the ball across half the court without any problems when only one person is guarding him. Then, he also needs to have good passing ability and be able to pass the ball to where it should go most of the time: sometimes it is a gap for shooting, sometimes it is a better guide. ball position. Simply put, he wants the ball to flow smoothly and he needs to be able to pass the ball to the place where it is easiest to score. Furthermore, he also needs to organize his team's offense to make his teammates' offense smoother.

There are other requirements for a point guard. In terms of scoring, the player holding the ball is often the last scorer on the team, which means that he will not shoot easily unless other teammates have no good opportunities to take shots. Or to put it another way, he has a strong scoring ability, and uses his scoring ability to destroy the opponent's defense and create opportunities for his teammates. All in all, there is an unchanging principle for ball control: when any teammate on the field has a better chance than him, he must give the ball to the teammate with a better chance.

Shooting Guard (SG)

Shooting Guard (Shooting Guard) has scoring as his main task. He is the second scorer on the court after the small forward, but he does not need to practice singles skills like a small forward, because he often has his teammates help him find gaps and then shoot. But because of this, his outside accuracy and stability are very good.

There are two things that shooting guards often have to do. The first is to have a good gap to shoot from the outside. Therefore, his outside shooting accuracy and stability must be good, otherwise his teammates will have to work hard to block him. If you have a good opportunity but fail to make the shot, it will have a huge impact on the team's morale and confidence. The second is to find a gap in the small gap to shoot from the outside, so he must shoot quickly. A good shooting guard cannot expect to have such a good gap every time. He should be able to find opportunities to take action in a short period of time, and his hit rate must also be at a certain level. Only in this way can the enemy's defense have a chance. The defensive circle must be widened to facilitate teammates' offensive in the penalty area.

Small Forward (SF)

The Small Forward (Small Forward) is the most important scorer in the team. The most fundamental requirement for a small forward is to be able to score, and score from a relatively long distance. As soon as the small forward receives the ball, the first thing that comes to mind is how to put the ball into the basket. He may be a good rebounder, but he doesn't need to; he may be a good passer, but he doesn't need to; he may be a good jumper, but still not necessary; he may be a great defender, but still not necessary. The basic job of a small forward is to score, score, and score again.

Small forward is the position with the lowest shooting percentage requirements. Generally speaking, as long as 45% is considered qualified, more than 40% is acceptable. Of course, this has a prerequisite, that is, he must be able to score. If a small forward scores seven or eight points per game and his shooting percentage is only 40%, then he might as well sit on the bench. Having said that, why can the shooting percentage of small forwards be relatively low? Because he is the main scorer on the team, he often has to actively look for opportunities to shoot, to stabilize the morale of the team at certain moments, or even to beat the opponent in a more difficult way to boost morale, or even to intimidate the opponent and give the enemy a head-on blow. Therefore, the small forward will have more opportunities to take shots, and they may not be good opportunities, so we can allow his shooting percentage to be slightly lower, as long as he can score.

Power Forward (PF)

Power Forward’s tasks on the team are almost all hard work. He is indispensable for rebounding, defense, and blocking. , but when it comes to shooting and scoring, he is often the last one. Therefore, the power forward can be regarded as the most inconspicuous role on the basketball court.

The first job of a power forward is to grab rebounds. The power forward is usually the person who grabs the most rebounds on the team. He gets stuck in the penalty area and cooperates with the center, often shouldering the responsibility of rebounding for the whole team. When attacking, he often helps his teammates block people, and then manages to squeeze in to grab rebounds after his teammates take action, leading to the second wave of offense.

Power forwards generally take fewer shots, and their shooting positions are often very close to the basket, so their shooting accuracy requirements are also higher. Among the five positions on the field, the power forward should have the highest shooting percentage, and a good power forward should reach more than 55%. However, since scoring is not his strong point, he does not need to score many points, but he must grab a lot of rebounds. In addition, the hot pot ability when defending is naturally necessary for a power forward, because he wants to consolidate the penalty area, and defense is of course important. In fact, to put it bluntly, a power forward must do two things well: rebounding and defense.

Center (C)

Center (Center), as its name implies, is the central figure of a team. He spends most of his time in the penalty area working hard and maintaining his body. He is the hub of the team both offensively and defensively, so he is called the center.

What kind of work does the center do? First of all, since he is making a living in the penalty area, rebounding is absolutely indispensable. Next, the penalty area is a battleground for each team's military strategists. Of course, opponents cannot easily attack here, so the ability to block attacks and block the hot pot is also indispensable. When attacking, the center often has the opportunity to stand in the penalty area near the free throw line (this is the center of the entire offensive field) to receive the ball. At this time, he should also have good ball-guiding abilities and send the ball to a more appropriate corner. . The above three items are the basic skills that a center should possess. In the team, the center is often responsible for scoring. He is the main inside scorer, corresponding to the small forward inside and outside. Because he needs to be able to play in isolation, his shooting percentage requirements can be lower, but his shots are often closer to the basket, so his shooting percentage should be higher. Generally speaking, 52% can be used as a standard. The requirement for a center's shooting percentage is second only to that of a power forward.

A good center is also versatile. In terms of offense, the center must have the ability to play singles close to the basket. He must be able to perform singles actions with his back to the basket. Turning and shooting is the most common one, while jump hooks and hook shots are more difficult to defend. How to score. Defensively, to be called a good center, in addition to guarding the players you should watch, you must also help your teammates with defense in a timely manner. To put it simply, if the enemy player bypasses the defense of his teammates and goes to the basket, the center must have the courage to defend his own penalty area. Of course, it doesn't mean that everything can be flawless every time, but there must always be the ability to "help". If a center can only guard his own man, it is not enough (unless the opponent is a super offensive center).

There is a variant of the center, which is the so-called outside center. The difference between him and a normal center is that his offense mainly involves running outside to shoot outside, and does less work in singles in the penalty area. Because the center is tall, other short people cannot guard it at all, so shooting from the outside can draw out the opponent's center, so it is also very useful when the forward is strong. When defending, he is no different from an ordinary center. He still defends the opponent's center and grabs rebounds as usual.
