Small balls are very popular in NBA. China was the first to use it. Why not use it now?

"Small ball" is popular in modern basketball. The so-called small ball play is actually an attack mode in which the attack and defense speed is faster, the defensive formation is set before the opponent falls, and then the attack is tried to end quickly. Even if the opponent landed in time to curb the attack speed, the attacker will use a lot of pick-and-roll, thrust, cut in, then run without the ball, pass a lot, and rely on accurate three-pointers and breakthrough scores. The "small ball" play has greatly weakened the traditional center of "the overlord under the basket". Because it is hard to prevent, the attack and defense are slow, and it does not have the ability of medium and long-range shooting, it is gradually being eliminated. And another new center, who has three-point shooting ability, can pass the ball and can be the initiator of the attack, is now becoming the new favorite of basketball. Djokic, Thick Eyebrows and Green also completely replaced Howard and other traditional insiders.

However, not everyone can learn to play small balls. The success of a small ball like Warriors depends on that they must have the best players in several aspects, excellent backcourt players, excellent three-dimensional players and fast speed. The Warriors now have the best shooters in the league, the "Hua Shui" brothers, and the strongest defenders in the league, Gates, Green and Iguodala. Warriors with such excellent offensive and defensive skills can also control rebounds and break through the defense line with speed. The success of the Warriors' small ball tactics actually reflects the power of the Warriors' quick and accurate team tactics.

However, Xiao Kuailing has high requirements for the basic quality of the players: the players must have good physical quality. If you want to play a very high-speed offensive and defensive conversion on the court, then the player's physical fitness must be guaranteed, and running two laps will be very tired, and there is no way to return to the small ball mode. And players must also have good tactical literacy. Whether it is "Xiao Kuailing" or the present small ball, the tactical accomplishment of the players is actually very high. Although the tactics such as running position and pick-and-roll seem simple, they are very difficult to implement. If the tactical accomplishment of the players is not guaranteed, many tactics cannot be implemented at all.

Another player must have a solid basic skill. Because the ball is very demanding in shooting, as long as the player has a vacancy through running or roll-and-roll, then he must have good shooting ability, otherwise the ball can't be made. In 1970s and 1980s, when China established himself in international basketball, it was a small ball game, and when the Warriors played the Black Eight Miracle, it was a running and bombing tactic, which was a typical small ball game. However, the originator of the running and bombing tactics is Qian Chenghai, the meritorious coach of the national team. At that time, the running and throwing technique was also created by China athletes. Therefore, according to the physical quality of the yellow race, in fact, the China team is most suitable for small ball play.

At present, the most basic problem that China basketball faces in its transition to "small ball play" is physical fitness! At present, physical fitness is the first issue in the transformation of China basketball to small ball play, and it is also the most basic and influential issue! Physical fitness is the premise and guarantee for basketball players to display their abilities, because even if a player has 18 kinds of martial arts, he has no physical fitness to show, which is no different from not having these abilities. Oh, we are like a sports car with a speed of 280 mph, but we have no oil, just an iron shelf!

In fact, the physical fitness of basketball players in China has always been a problem, especially in the last decade. At present, everything in small ball play needs physical fitness as a guarantee. If you don't have physical strength, then the rhythm of the game can't be brought up at all, and you can't play a threatening conversion attack and fast break! In addition to the offensive end, the defensive end actually needs physical support, because the infinite change of defense in small ball play is also a very physical defense method, especially when the opponent has a center, the defensive end will be more difficult. So now the physical problem is the first big difficulty!
