The role and tactics of center and power forward in basketball court

The different roles of power forward and center.

Power forward, also known as the second center, is the fourth position on the court. Take on inside defense and inside attack with the center. The level of CIC is also very high, and it is often pulled to shoot near the three-point line.

The center is the No.5 position on the court, generally moving in the three-second zone, and the basket is the center's area. Scoring methods generally include dunk, hook, hook and singles.

Function and Tactical Analysis of Power Forward

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. The first job of power forward is to rebound. Power forward is usually the person who rebounds the most on the team. When they are stuck in the restricted area to cooperate with the center, they often have to provoke the rebounding task of the whole team. When attacking, he often helps his teammates block people, and then tries to squeeze in and grab rebounds after his teammates make a second attack. In fact, power forward is to do two things well: rebounding and defense. 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, will be called a good power forward, but a player who can score, but fails to rebound and defend is not a power forward at all.

The main tactic of power forward is to pick and roll with the defender and then pull to the two-point line or the bottom line, thus forming CIC; Or take the ball and pass it to the center to form cooperation in passing.

Analysis on the role and tactics of center.

The center is the core of a team. A position on the basketball team; Usually the tallest player on the team. Traditionally, it emphasizes the protection of the basket defense and defensive rebounds. Some center players with offensive talent often become the main point of shooting near the restricted area because of their height advantage. Although there is no fixed "height standard" for the center, the height of the center in men's basketball is generally above 2m 08 (6ft 10in), and that in women's basketball is generally above 1m 90 (6ft 3 in). In technical statistics, the center can usually contribute the most blocked shots and often achieve high shooting percentage and rebounding performance. Because the number of basketball players who can reach more than 2m 13 (7ft) and still maintain good athletic ability is limited, a few centers with both height and flexibility can often become an important factor in winning or losing the game. Take NBA as an example, a center with athletic talent, spirit, skill and good physique is often the key to a strong team.

The center's main tactics are shooting after catching the ball with the guard, or playing low singles after picking and rolling with the small forward.
