How can we play a good center?

Lay a good technical foundation for a center;

First, defense and rebounding:

In traditional basketball, the center can not attack, but he must master the whole inside defense. As the last line of defense in the restricted area, the center needs to be able to defend the attack of the attacking center alone, and also need to make up the position when teammates miss the peripheral players of the other side. It is necessary to defend the opposing center and make up the defense. The technical requirements of these two tasks are that the center player must be quite experienced in judging the final position of the opponent's attack, and need fast movement and skilled standing skills. If the average pressure of hand defenders is 1, then the defensive pressure of center players is above 1.5. Only center players with skillful defensive skills can guarantee that the number of fouls will not rise too fast.

Second, back to the basket attack skills:

In traditional basketball, a major feature of center and power forward is the difference in attack methods. The power forward attacks with his back to the basket and turns around. The center pays more attention to the technique of suppressing his opponent with his height and weight back to the basket. It is precisely because the pace of the center player can match the height and weight that the offensive action of the center player is rarely blocked. The so-called "back to the basket" these three words, put into the court, on behalf of the stage back to the basket into the restricted area to turn and shoot skills; Small hook skill of dribbling in the middle; And the passing skills of finding the peripheral teammates once they fall into the defensive double team during dribbling.

Third, high-level ability:

In traditional basketball center players, we can often see the phenomenon of standing in a high position to catch the ball. For the center, if he has the ability of high position, he can attract the big defender to the free throw line, which will help his teammates run into the penalty area without the ball and will not be disturbed by the block. The center's high position ability is a necessary skill for the opponent to shoot directly when he can't defend the outside line after receiving the inside ball. Only a solid shooting technique can ensure high containment.

Four, long-distance passing skills:

Because the center is often the player closest to the basket in defensive tactics, he has more opportunities to rebound than the average player. Most center players are the tallest and heaviest on the court, which makes his vision relatively dominant. After the center player grabbed the rebound, he immediately paid attention to whether his teammates launched a fast break without the ball to the other half. If the opponent already has a teammate at half-time, he needs the center player to directly transfer the distance of the player to the frontcourt teammate instead of giving it to the point guard in an instant. Therefore, long pass penetration is also one of the indispensable skills for center players.
