How should I play the small forward position well?

Don’t listen to the nonsense of the guy on the first floor who claims to have played small forward! I'll refute what he said about defense one by one!

1. Defensive footwork! The steps must be flexible. Generally, when defending, the forefoot touches the ground and the heel does not touch the ground, so that the steps can be changed quickly.

The forefoot touches the ground but the script does not touch the ground? And so that the pace can change quickly? Let me tell you, if an offensive player comes up and leans on you, you will fly away! Do you think everyone will choose to break through when they see you defending? You can't keep up with the jump shot! Even though I'm a power forward, when I encounter your level of defense, I treat you like nothing and pass you by just for fun.

Original, you need to have good defensive steps, but they are also basic skills. Failure to land your heels when defending will seriously affect your explosive power, especially when the opponent changes direction, because the structure of the human body determines that suddenly When accelerating, the process of changing the sole of the foot from flat to curved, without the heel landing, artificially cancels this process, and self-righteously says that it will make the footsteps change. That is entirely a matter of subjective consciousness - this practice lasts for a long time. , it is easy to cause stress fractures of the foot bones - yes, you heard it right, it is Yao Ming's kind, because this method causes the foot bones to lose the cushioning protection of the sole of the foot.

2. Defensive posture! Open your hands, place your feet in a horse stance, and sink your body forward. Match the pace changes.

Open your hands. When playing a game, you will be called a foul as soon as the contact is made. It is a miracle that you can last for 3 minutes. Your body sinks and leans forward. As soon as the offensive player turns around, you will be thrown down. Guard against what? Again, I have serious injuries to my knees and ankles, but when faced with your level of defense, scoring rebounds is like trying to get something out of my bag.

The correct defensive posture is: when defending from behind, the arm can be raised appropriately and placed on the back of the offensive player, but no force can be used; or one hand can be raised high, when the offensive player is facing the opponent. forward, obstructing his line of sight, and passing the ball from above his head; the other hand is stretched out on the side to block his passing route at any time - but please note that this is only a defensive action when the opponent player stands in position. When the opponent player breaks through, if your hands are still extended, the referee will often call you blocking, because blocking with your hands is an action outside the rules.

As for sinking the body and leaning forward, I am speechless - is this the awareness of small forward defense now? Can this man be called defense? During the CCTV5 broadcast, the host and guests mentioned more than once that the most important thing about defense is not to lose position. The most important thing is not to lose the center of gravity. From a physiological and practical point of view, the next tendency of the body to lean forward is Loss of center of gravity - If the offensive player performs a disguise, how can he return his body to its normal position in a short period of time? Or is this guy planning to use his strength to knock down the offensive player? Or if the offensive player suddenly turns around and loses his target, is he planning to fall forward, or is he going to use the rocket thruster on his heel to push in the opposite direction? Not to mention how he was able to sink his body and lean forward while still maintaining the action when his heels were not touching the ground. Could it be that he was practicing martial arts?

Original poster, when defending, you can lean forward slightly, but you must have a strong point, otherwise it will be easy to be deceived of your center of gravity - just like this dear friend.

3. Defensive power! When defending, the requirements for upper body strength are more important. Without strength, there is no confrontation, and without confrontation, you can't even think of defending against others. (When a person breaks through, as soon as he exerts force, you will be knocked away.) Practice more strength in your arms, waist, abdomen, and chest. For example, do more push-ups and sit-ups.

Defense relies on lower body strength, do you understand? If you don't have the strength of your lower limbs and can't stand, you will be thrown away! Did that person say that being hit by someone and flying away has something to do with upper body strength? It is reasonable to say that 'upper body strength is more important when playing layups, singles, or fighting for rebounds in the air.' This statement is reasonable. Lower body strength is more important when defending!

4. Watch more of Battier’s game videos and his defensive skills (you can watch this or not.

Defense also requires innate awareness and a certain amount of patience)

Defensive awareness can also be developed, you know? It doesn’t rely so much on innate consciousness, because basketball is an acquired sport! Poster, look at Hayes. When he first participated in the Rockets training camp, he was tall but not tall, average in body, quick but not fast, defensive but not defensive, offensive but not offensive, and he was barely good at rebounding. But after four or five years of hard training on defense, where is he now? Being less than two meters tall and being able to play starting center is proof of that! Being able to guard most of the centers and power forwards in the league like Bosh is proof! ——Is this innate consciousness? No, this is the result of hard work! So, sir, don’t listen to his nonsense about innate awareness. Basketball defense is different from offense. Offense often requires players to burst out with passion, which requires a high level of awareness. However, if defense wants to improve, it is more important to rely on hard practice.

5. You are only 16 years old, practice strength well - I don’t know what he means by this, practice strength at 16 years old? Do you think the original poster wants to do bodybuilding? At 16 years old, there is no need to practice too much strength training, the important thing is to practice technique! The small forward's fixed-point mid-range shooting percentage is 33.3%, which is too low. Can it still be called a small forward's shooting percentage? As a power forward, I can hit over 70% of my mid-range shots from fixed spots! What does this have to do with? It’s related to basic skills, practice shooting more! Small forwards need to defend, but if their offense is not good, there is no need for your position, or you as a person, not to mention that the shooting rate of 3V3 is only so low, and 4V4 and 5V5 are almost gone!

6. Even the top players cannot wipe out three-pointers with three-point ability. My dear friend, can you do it? If so, why didn't the NBA draft you? If you go and just rely on this trick, Kobe, James, Ray Allen and others will all drown under your three-point rain!

So, most of the people on the first floor who say "Miss, your camera" should not be listened to, as it will harm you.

Based on what the original poster said, I would like to explain a few points.

First of all, although basketball defense is related to strength, in your case, it is not that big a deal. As for whether you can beat others by hitting or not, it has nothing to do with the quality of defense, because basketball is not football. If you can hit someone, you are good at defense. The best defense is actually to stick close to him, making it difficult for him to catch the ball, shoot, break through, and pass. Even if there are no steals and blocks, it is still top-notch. If the opponent is already in position, you can choose to play a post-up or break through with the ball. Defense at this time requires experience and judgment. For example, you need to quickly conclude from the past two or three matchups that this player relies more on breakthroughs or singles. , and then perform targeted defense - but you have to remember, the poster, that this kind of defense will make mistakes, and the probability is not small, so you need to spend a lot of energy to make up for it.

Secondly, the most important thing for you now is to practice your basic skills, especially fixed-point shooting. The phenomenon of scoring ability being abnormal is itself a lack of skills, resulting in unstable performance, especially fixed-point shooting-this is different from Smith's three-point shooting. The small forward is the core of the team's offense. If the offense has obvious shortcomings, he is not a qualified small forward. If the offense is not up to standard and the defensive quality is not good, what use are you? You can't practice defense in a year or two, but you can improve quickly in fixed-point shooting in two or three months. Which one do you choose?

Third, you like to run, but your teammates rarely provide assists, which itself illustrates the problem - your teammates do not trust you, especially your offensive ability. If you can get assists from your teammates at any time during the offense, this will prove that you have the ability to take charge of the game. If you practice defense at that time, your teammates will be happier.

Finally, not every player needs to be good at offense and defense, nor does every player need to have excellent strength to play basketball well. The body does not start to develop until 16 years old. At this time, too much emphasis on strength training will be harmful to you. Growth is not a good thing, because when you are 17 to 20 years old, even if you don't practice, your strength will naturally increase. If you practice strength at that time, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Why are you anxious? What's more, your basic skills are not good!

So, my advice to you is: currently work hard to practice offense, especially shooting, and strive to increase the hit rate of fixed-point shooting to above 60, the higher the better; as for defense, you should use awareness Focus on defense, supplemented by physical defense. Stay close to the offensive player and constantly use your hands to harass him to catch, pass, and dribble. As for rebounding, just practice rushing and grabbing at this stage, because you like running. When it comes to rushing for rebounds, you can practice it right away with just a little attention.
