What is the difference between a shooting guard and a point guard? Please elaborate.

Defenders are generally the two players with the lowest height on the field.

The traditional point guard is often the organizer of the whole team's attack. He decides to pass the ball to the right player at the right time by controlling the ball, and is the person who has the best chance to get the ball on the court. A qualified point guard must be able to pass the ball across the half court without any problem when only one person is defending. Then, his passing ability is also good, and he can pass the ball where it should go most of the time. In terms of scoring, the player who controls the ball is often the team's last scorer, which means that unless other teammates don't have a good chance to shoot, he won't shoot easily. Or to put it another way, his scoring ability is very strong. He uses his scoring ability to destroy the opponent's defense and create opportunities for his teammates. In short, there is an unchangeable principle for the point player: if any teammate has a better chance to play on the spot than him, he will definitely give the ball to the teammate with a better chance.

The shooting guard is the main task of scoring on the basketball court. Shooting guards often have to do two things. The first thing is to have a good ability to hold the ball and singles, so whether it is shooting from outside or breaking through the stability of layup, it should be good. The second is to find a gap to throw an outside line, so he has to make a quick move. A good shooting guard can't expect good space every time. He should be able to find a chance to shoot in a short time, and his shooting percentage should be at a certain level. This can stall the enemy's defense, and it is necessary to open the defensive circle, which is more conducive to teammates' attack in the restricted area. Traditional shooting guards are almost all shooters.

If you want to know the division of labor in different positions of traditional basketball, Slam Dunk Master is a good textbook. The point guard passes the ball through the half-court and passes it in time; The position is the shooter; Penny is the strongest scorer in the team; The big front is a blue collar, focusing on rebounding and defense; The center should be able to play guard and protect the basket.

But modern basketball blurs these positions. The first thing is that the positions of center and power forward are exchanged (both inside players); Then, in the 1990s, Pippen and grant hill were the organization strikers. In the new century, a large number of excellent swingers (small forwards and point guards) like Kobe Bryant, McGrady and Carter have emerged. Recently, a large number of dual-purpose guards (point guards and point guards) have appeared, such as Iverson, Owen, Bradley of the Green Army, and Harden who transformed this year. In addition, due to the rise of small ball, there are also many forwards (power forwards, small money), such as Lewis in the early years, Barnes, Durant and James Leonard in recent years. More and more, as predicted by Patrelli in the last century, there will be five players who are about two meters tall and can be exchanged randomly on the basketball court.
