The position and play of the center

The position and gap of the center are as follows:

First of all, the position of the center

Basketball center, also known as center position, refers to the most important position on the basketball court and the tallest player in the team, so it is highly valued, the core of the whole team and the center of players in other positions.

Second, the center play.

In the process of attack and defense conversion, it can play a leading role, leading teammates to attack and passing the ball to teammates to attack. In the inside attack, the center needs to actively participate in the attack and throw the ball into the basket through flexible skills. The center needs to actively rebound in order to provide the team with more counterattack opportunities. The center needs to actively defend, protect the basket and prevent the opponent from attacking. The center can accurately pass the ball according to the opponent's defense, which is beneficial to the team's attack. The center needs to take the initiative to steal the ball back and protect the team's offense.

Technical requirements of basketball center:

A good center needs versatility. In attack, the center should have the ability to play singles near the basket, and he should be able to play singles with his back to the basket. Turning shot is the most common one, while jumping and hooking are more difficult to defend. Defensively, to be a good center, you should not only defend the players you should watch, but also help your teammates defend in time.

To put it simply, if an enemy player bypasses his teammates' defense and enters the basket, the center should have the courage to make peace, while one person guards and defends his own restricted area. Of course, it doesn't mean that it's watertight every time, but there must always be the ability to "help". If a center can only keep his own people, it is not enough.
