How to distinguish between traditional center and powerful center in NBA?

Although the traditional center has a strong dominance in the inside, it is becoming more and more out of date today when it advocates "speeding up", because they are often accompanied by tall figures, which inevitably has the characteristics of slow speed, and the advantage of faster power forward is gradually emerging. Look at the performance of the Rockets against Jazz Yao Ming in the playoffs, and you will know what the trend is, because Yao Ming's speed and slowness are irreparable technical defects.

In addition, the biggest difference between center and modern power forward is the different starting position. The center pays attention to the important position, and has little space for dribbling, almost standing still. Modern power forward is a little far from the basket and can sprint in the previous step, which is the way Marion and Boozer often see. In this way; Two different ways of playing have produced two completely different experiences. First of all, in the attack, their foul action on the defender gives the referee a completely different clarity. The center's words are that the opponent keeps making small moves before taking the ball, so that you can't turn around and catch the ball normally, while the modern power forward goes straight to the basket with his head facing the blue box. As long as the opponent has one action, he will be convicted of a foul, and the pros and cons will be immediately known.

What I want to talk about here is the double-team tactics of the defensive side. The center is extremely passive at this time, because the closer you are to the basket, the higher the chance that your opponent will double-team you, and the chances of double-team success are great and easy. Look at Shark Chopping and even Yao Chopping; But as long as the modern power forward rushes into the basket and the defender comes up to help defend, it is equivalent to a foul.

The other is that in defense, the center is synonymous with thankless work. As the last gate of the team's defense, the center should not only prevent the layup of the opposing defender after infiltrating into the basket (Yao Ming was humiliated by Deron Williams many times), but also deal with the continuous bombing of the opposing power forward (Yao Ming was also bombarded by Boozer); The power forward's defense on the court is much easier because he has a center behind him.
