How should the shooting guard play?

The traditional shooting guard often moves between two 45-degree angles of the basketball court, because he often meets the point guard and is responsible for passing the basketball from one side to the other. Of course, if the shooting guard is an outside player, he will often raise the small forward to a 45-degree angle, and let the shooting guard get a shot at the baseline through the pick-and-roll position, which is a typical Celtic play at present. Generally speaking, the shooting guard should shoulder the responsibility of half a point guard, rather than attacking blindly.

Therefore, basic passing, cutting and running back between inside lines, fast running and defense are all necessary qualities.

For personal technical requirements, a stable outside scoring ability is necessary, because once you indulge in a breakthrough attack, it is not only easier for your opponent to defend, but also means that once you don't shoot, it is difficult to defend at the first time, and you need a striker to fill the position of the defender. The tacit understanding of the whole team is very demanding. Therefore, the shooting guard should have certain outside shooting ability, even if the three points are not allowed, you should also have stable investment ability, such as Jordan and Hamilton.

Secondly, if you have the ability to break the ball at a 45-degree angle, it will be of great help to the center, power forward and small forward in the bottom line. Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended for the point guard to dribble directly to the frontcourt. It's best for the shooting guard to circle the 45-degree angle, catch the ball, dive, break through and divide the ball.

As I said just now, a stable CIC needs to practice the ability to catch the ball and block the jump shot while running.

If the advantage is not obvious, it is not recommended for the shooting guard to play guard singles near the three-second zone, because the inside players will often be crowded near the free throw line, which requires high shooting ability of the inside players. At the same time, we need small forwards with good defensive awareness, such as the bulls in Jordan's era.

The distance between point guard and point guard is very important. Once the point guard breaks through or the baseline exceeds 45 degrees, the point guard must go to the top of the free throw line or the arc of the three-point line. It is best to ensure that there is no defender between the point guard and the point guard, because the ball can be passed well, otherwise it will fall to one side and can't get out.

Therefore, the shooting guard is not a position that can be competent only by practicing offensive skills, and it requires higher consciousness. It is recommended to watch more games, don't stand still in the game, and be sure to adjust his position according to the situation.
