What skills do forward players usually have to master?

Players who play this role must first have a good figure and speed; Second, he has the ability to control and pass the ball; Third, he can dribble through or score a layup with an empty hand; Fourth, he has the ability to shoot from outside; Fifth, he can play singles in the restricted area when necessary, undermining his ability. On the whole, he seems to be an all-round player.

If you want to talk about the position, you should start with the small forward. Some people may find it strange that the most important position in the minds of ordinary people may be the center or the point guard. How can a small forward say it first?

In fact, the small forward is the team's original scorer. Since the basic purpose of basketball is to score points, it is natural to start with small forwards.

I think, first give the small forward a little positioning.

The so-called small forward, the most fundamental requirement is to score, and it is a long-distance score.

As soon as the small forward receives the ball, his first thought is how to put the ball into the basket.

He may rebound, but it is not necessary; He may pass the ball well, but it is not necessary;

He may be flexible, but not necessarily;

He may defend well, but it's still unnecessary.

The basic job of a small forward is to score, score and score again.

In this way, does it matter which small forward only wants to score, and the lower the shooting percentage, the better? Of course not!

However, the small forward is the position with the lowest requirement for shooting percentage. Generally speaking, as long as 45% is qualified, more than 40% is acceptable. Of course, there is a premise that he wants to score goals. If a small forward averages seven or eight points per game and hits only 40%, it is better to let him sit on the bench.

On the other hand, why can the shooting percentage of small forwards be lower?

Because he is the main scorer in the team, he often takes the initiative to look for opportunities to shoot, stabilize the morale of the army at some time, and even improve his opponents in more difficult ways.

We should actively look for opportunities to make moves, stabilize the morale of the army at some moments, or even single-handedly boost the morale of opponents in more difficult ways, or even give them a head-on blow.

So the small forward will have more chances to shoot, or it may be a bad chance, so we can allow him to play lower, as long as he can score.

Here are a few representative small forwards as examples.

Boston veteran dominique wilkins is a good small forward. He has a strong singles ability and a strong desire to score, which makes him a candidate for the scoring champion in the mid-1980s. But his hit rate in a year is less than 50%, mostly around 47%; Besides, most people often only see his wonderful dunk, but his outside ability is also first-class! He can score points, boost morale and be a real small forward. Then I want to mention Chuck Person, who played in Indiana and Minnesota and now plays for the Spurs. Although he doesn't average about 30 points per game like Wilkins, he has a strong desire to score; In addition, he has almost no ability to play inside, but the scope of outside is very wide. I believe everyone should be impressed by his dancing after throwing a few super three-pointers! Therefore, Person is also a small forward who can shoot on the outside and in difficult situations, and is another typical example different from Wilkins. Of course, there are many excellent small forwards in NBA, such as Julius Erving and scottie pippen, so I won't list them here. (Note)

Seeing this, some people may have started to make trouble, because you haven't seen the name of your ideal small forward yet. Don't worry, because he is exactly what I will introduce next-the best small forward I have chosen, and he is larry bird. First of all, his ability in scoring and perimeter should be beyond doubt, even top-notch; In addition, he averaged about 10 rebounds, and his assists made us think of those amazing passes with our eyes closed. Not only that, he also has many scenes of winning the country with one goal, stabilizing the military at a critical moment, fighting against the main commander of the opponent, and even unforgettable thieves of the century. Bird has shown excellent skills in all aspects. He is undoubtedly the best small forward in my heart. If you want to find fault with him, I'm afraid you can only say that he is not flexible enough!

(Note): In the history of NBA, elgin baylor, Jerry West, etc. They are also famous small forwards, but I haven't seen their games, and it's just paper information, so I won't talk nonsense here. In addition, of course, there are excellent small forwards among active NBA players. You might as well think for yourself and find out.

Players No.4 and No.4-"Forward or Power Forward"

It seems more appropriate for power forward to be called strong forward. He should have the following conditions: tall figure, good rebounding ability and flexible center's ability to divide the ball; And he is indispensable in assisting, defending, covering and blocking people. In addition, he is the second center on the field because of his unique shooting skills and low singles skills.

The task of power forward in the team is almost always very hard. Rebound, defense and blocking are all indispensable to him, but he is often the last to score. So power forward can be regarded as the most inconspicuous role on the basketball court.

Let's start with the responsibilities of power forward:

His first job was rebounding. Power forward is usually the person who rebounds the most on the team. He is stuck in the penalty area, cooperates with the center and often provokes the rebounding task of the whole team.

When attacking, he often helps his teammates block people, and then tries to squeeze in and grab offensive rebounds after his teammates make the second wave of attack.

Usually only a few hours, the power forward will be asked to sink to the bottom of the singles. At this time, he will turn over and shoot a small hook near the restricted area and do some close-range attacks.

Because power forwards usually shoot fewer times and their shooting positions are often close to the basket, their shooting percentage is naturally higher.

In terms of five positions in the team, power forward should be the one with the highest hit rate; A good power forward should reach more than 55%. But because scoring is not his strong point, he can score few points, but he must grab more rebounds.

In addition, the ability to defend hot pot is naturally necessary for power forward, because he wants to consolidate the restricted area, and defense is of course important. In fact, power forward is to do two things well: rebounding and defense.

Among the active players, Horace Grant is a typical power forward. He is good at rebounding, is well-behaved in defense and is not greedy in attack. He often scores by grabbing offensive rebounds or simple singles, and his hit rate is high. When necessary, he swam out of the restricted area and hit the ball from a distance in the gap, which not only strengthened the overall defensive strength of the team, but also made the enemy unable to ignore his scoring potential. Besides, karl malone is another type of power forward. He takes his strong body as the capital of singles in the restricted area, and in turn takes offense as his main job. Defensively, he does the same defense and rebounding as power forward, but offensively, he still often scores alone and even practices on the outside, becoming a very threatening attacker. In fact, in addition to the duties of power forward, practicing the offensive ability of small forward will become an offensive power forward.

Because what power forwards do is so unremarkable, there are not many famous power forwards in NBA history. For example, kevin mchale. Mchale is not particularly good at rebounding, but because of his long arms, he has an innate advantage in defense and is quite outstanding. But what impressed him most was his offensive ability. His attack is different from the general attack in the restricted area. He eats people not by figure, elasticity and explosiveness, but by footwork. He can make many strides from side to side after dribbling stops, and find the best time to make a small hook or pick a basket, and he is very steady, often scoring goals and then causing fouls. His singles are typical, and you never know where he will throw. But because of his high score, the hit rate can often be kept above 60%, which shows his value. Perhaps, he can be called the most beautiful person in the forbidden area singles in NBA history.

In the past, power forwards often had to practice hard and had little chance to catch the ball and play singles on the court. But now the concept of basketball is changing with each passing day, and the power forward is gradually strengthening in attack, which is the biggest difference between the past and the present. However, a good power forward should focus on the efforts in the penalty area. A player who can rebound and defend but has poor offensive ability, I
