What is the traditional center?

The traditional center is a post center, relying on the defender to feed him the ball and complete the attack through low post or hook. The height of traditional center is generally higher, generally above 2.1m. In addition, the basic skills are often very solid, and the understanding of action essentials is very good. Its role in defense is mainly to assist defense, and it is highly dependent on defenders. If the defender passes the ball to him uncomfortably, his attack will be greatly reduced.

Generally speaking, it is required to have enough height to rely on, based on solid and necessary back techniques, supplemented by basic center techniques such as hook and face frame techniques, and will not fly out of the free throw line for high-position pick-and-roll at will, and most of them will carry out activities in the three-second zone.

Today's center players have entered the rhythm of "running fast and jumping fast" in the new century. Center and basketball are the most impacted and influenced positions, and they are also the most forced to change and evolve. The evolution of center can better reflect the development track of NBA and basketball.
