Chapter 29: Big Forward

readx; Today I want to talk about one of our No. 4 positions is the position of the power forward, the power forward's tasks on the team are almost all based on hard labor, to grab rebounds, defense, and card positions are indispensable, but to shoot, score, he is often the last.

The info power forward can be considered the most inconspicuous character on the basketball court.

A power forward, sometimes called a power forward, is a position in the basketball lineup, and in other countries there is also a saying for a two-center.

A typical power forward is a player who is physically fit on the court and still has a certain amount of speed.

Traditionally, power forwards have been asked to take advantage of their massive size, aggressively attack under the basket and compete for offensive rebounds; And in terms of defending the box and defending the rebounding ball, it is considered the main task of the center.

But in today's basketball trend, the distinction between the two is blurring due to the general increase in the agility of the center player and the height of the forward player.

At the average level in today's world basketball world, power forwards are usually between 2.01 meters (6 feet 7 inches) and 2.13 meters (7 feet) tall and weigh between 230 and 260 pounds.

However, it is not uncommon for a twin-tower lineup to play with two players with center height, or a power forward in a team that lacks tall players.

The first job is to grab the rebound.

The power forward is usually the one who grabs the most rebounds on the team, and he is stuck in the restricted area, and when he cooperates with the center, he often has to pick up the rebounding responsibility of the whole team.

And when he is on offense, he often has to help his teammates block people, and then try to squeeze in and grab offensive rebounds after his teammates make a shot, and do a second wave of offense.

Usually there is only a few times when the big forward is asked to sink into the bottom of the single, and then he will make a turn, small hook shot near the penalty area, and do some close-range attacks.

In response to the current NBA trend, there are two new types of power forwards - projection and response.

The typical representative of this is Dirk?

Nowitzki.

Chinese player Yi Jianlian, Italian player Bagnani and Spanish player Pau Gasol are also typical of them.

Because power forwards generally have a height advantage, it is more difficult for forwards who stick to the 3-second zone to defend this type of power forward.

However, projection power forwards have a series of problems such as not being tough in defense and offense, and relying too far on the periphery, resulting in too single scoring means.

Responsive power forwards, on the other hand, generally have a good sense of passing and rely on their height advantage to often deliver good passes in the high post.

But the disadvantage of a responsive power forward is that he is generally not tough enough and has poor interior offensive ability, but there are exceptions, such as the retired Chris?

Webb, Big Bird Bird.

Since power forwards tend to shoot less often, and their shooting positions are often close to the rim, the shooting percentage of their shots is naturally higher.

In terms of the team's five positions, the power forward should be the one with the highest shooting percentage, and a good power forward should reach more than 55%.

However, since scoring is not his strong point, he can not score much, but he must catch a lot of rebounds.

In addition, the ability to defend is naturally a must for a power forward, because if he wants to consolidate the penalty area, defense is of course important.

In any case, a power forward is about doing two things well – rebounding and defending.

In the past, power forwards were often meant to do hard work, and they rarely had the opportunity to catch the ball and play alone on the court.

However, the concept of basketball in the 21st century is changing with each passing day, and the power forward is slowly strengthening in the offensive aspect, which is the biggest difference between the big forward and the past.

However, a good power forward should still be based on hard labor in the penalty area.

A player who can grab rebounds and defend, but has poor offensive ability, we would call him a good power forward, and Rodman is a good example, averaging more than a dozen boards per game but rarely scoring double-doubles.

But a player who is very good at scoring but fails in rebounding and defense cannot be considered a power forward at all.

In the American professional basketball game, the role of power forward is becoming more and more prominent.

Whether it is defense, offense, strategy, as well as switching defense, mismatch marking, etc., the role and tactical low post of power forward in the NBA (American Professional Basketball) is constantly improving.

For example, Louis?

Scola is not only an offense on the Rockets, but also a response function.

Also, Paulo of the Lakers?

Gasol has made the most of this, with 45 assists per game, more than many defenders.

Defensively, Kevin?

Garnett's position at the heart of the Celtics has been untouchable to this day, and he's been the best at his individual defense (playoff misplaced defense against James) and rotational defense.

Offensively, Amare?

Stoudemire is arguably one of the best offensive power forwards in the contemporary NBA, averaging 25.3 points per game, shooting 53.2% from the field and 43.5% from three-point range.

Finally, the job of a power forward, rebounding, rebounding is the most important job of every power forward, and this, Kevin of the Timberwolves?

Kevinlove (the name is full of love) was the surprise of last season, with an extreme stat of 31 points and 31 rebounds, and an average of 15 rebounds per game that reminds people of various ancient beasts.

Of course, this is just a simple mention of a few of the better power forwards in the league now, and the current players are still the same as before, I won't introduce much, or you still have to play with them more to know the style of play in this position, I am only introducing the previous excellent power forwards!

The first one that has to be mentioned is Karl?

Anthony?

Malone: A former NBA player who was selected by the Utah Jazz in 1985 at No. 13.

He has won the NBA Most Valuable Player twice, and is a famous ball forward.

What does he do with John?

Stockton is one of the most famous duos in NBA history.

After 18 years, he moved to the Los Angeles Lakers and announced his retirement in Salt Lake City in 2004.

Cal?

Malone has made 1,476 career appearances, ranking fourth all-time; He averaged 37.2 minutes per game, never less than 30 minutes per game in a season.

scored a total of 36,928 points, ranking second on the NBA's all-time scoring list; grabbed 14,968 rebounds, ranking sixth all-time; In the 1996-97 and 1998-99 seasons, Karl?

Malone Twice Named NBA Most Valuable Player

ļ¼› He won two Olympic gold medals in basketball in 1992 and 1996 and was selected as one of the 50 greatest athletes in the NBA.

The Utah Jazz drafted John in the 1984 draft.

Stockton, and then in 1985, Karl ?

Malone, the two have worked together since then, leading the Jazz to the playoffs for 18 consecutive years.

Cal?

Malone scored in the restricted area with his muscular size, averaging 15 points and 9 rebounds per game in his rookie season, establishing himself as an important player for the Jazz.

In 1988, he averaged 28 points and 13 rebounds per game and made it to the All-Star Game.

Malone is very healthy and rarely injured, so he has been out in single digits during the Jazz era in '19.

(And his partner John?)

Stockton has also only missed 22 games, which is the main reason why the Jazz can make the playoffs in a row.

And according to the overall test, as long as Malone does not play at a high level, the Jazz will lose nearly 90% of the games.

Since the Jazz couldn't bring him an NBA championship, he was named in 2003 in John?

Stockton retired to the Los Angeles Lakers, and by this time, his total points were the second-highest in NBA history.

In 2003, he switched to the Los Angeles Lakers with a low salary.

Bryant, Shaquille?

O'Neill, Gary?

Payton collectively called the Lakers' "Four Heavenly Kings"

The relationship between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal deteriorated due to discord within the team, and the Los Angeles Lakers lost 1-4 to the Detroit Pistons in the Finals.

Suffering from injuries due to not being able to get the Championship Ring, plus teammate Kobe Bryant?

Bryant also accused him of verbally sexually harassing his wife (ironically, Kobe Bryant was arrested that year on suspicion of sexual assault).

Cal?

Malone returned to Salt Lake City, home of the Utah Jazz, accompanied by the Utah Jazz owner, coach and his wife, and announced his retirement as a Utah Jazz player.

Because of his rough actions in the game all year round, he angered Dennis, the Bulls power forward who often defends Malone?

Rodman, Rodman challenged the wrestling team at the end of the 1998 season, and Malone and wrestling star Dallaski accepted the challenge, and the combination of Rodman and another wrestling star, Hogan, won the victory.

It was also the only time in Malone's career that he appeared in the wrestling ring.

His jersey number 32 is one of the Jazz's retired numbers.

When he moved to the Los Angeles Lakers, the No. 32 jersey of the Lakers was already hung up by the famous player Magic Johnson.

Although the latter said at the time that he didn't mind Malone wearing the No. 32 jersey, Malone finally chose the No. 11 jersey used by the Dream Team.

Malone has been vocal in his opposition to Johnson's return to football after he was confirmed to have contracted AIDS.

Malone's free throws are very characteristic, and he reiterates words before each free throw, which lasts for several seconds, and some people jokingly call it "the devil's curse"

, and it is said that the content of the recitation is different every time.

When Malone's Jazz and Bulls were fighting in the Finals, Malone got two free throws at critical moments.

Pippen walked up to him and said, "The postman doesn't deliver letters on Sundays."

(The day of the race was Sunday), and the result was "Postman"

Sure enough, two penalties missed, "the devil's curse"

That's it.

Because of Malone's high-percentage shooting ability, there is a "themailman"

The title.

Every time Malone dunks with one hand, the other hand will reach the back of his head, which has become Malone's signature dunk pose.

Malone has won almost all honors (division championship, division championship, regular season championship) during the NBA period (team system), and the only one he has not won is the NBA championship.

Chris?

Webb: The soul of the Kings and the famous "Michigan Five" in the past

First, since moving to the Kings, he has ushered in the peak of his career, and the 2001-2002 season led the team to the Western Conference Finals made him famous.

He is good at mid-range shooting, but he is also delicate and excellent under the basket, he also has a good rebounding hand, as the team's main attacker, his assist awareness is no worse than any guard on the team, and he has repeatedly made the Kings play pleasing basketball.

March 27, 2008 Golden State Warriors star Chris?

Webb held a press conference to announce his retirement.

Chris Webb walked into Oracle Arena again this morning, but this time he was no longer wearing a tracksuit, and the 15-year veteran completed the final leg of his career today.

"Countless people have helped me throughout my career, whether it's teammates, coaches or fans.

I would like to thank every one of my bosses, managers, doctors, and so on, who have worked so hard for me.

It was they who helped me improve step by step to get to where I am now.

I will continue to have a good relationship with them in the future, both in basketball and in business.

Webb said.

Chris Webb, 35, averaged 20.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.44 steals and 1.44 blocks in 37.1 minutes per game in his career. The total number of appearances reached 831.

Webb has played for the Golden State Warriors, Washington Bullets (now the Wizards), Sacramento Kings, Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons.

During Webb's NBA career, he made the playoffs 10 times and played in 80 games, averaging 18.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in the playoffs.

Webb was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team back in 1997, and then he made the Western Conference All-Star team four times in a row with the Kings.

In addition to these accolades, Webb was named to the NBA First Team of the Season five times, once on the First Team (2001), three times on the Second Team (1999, 2002, 2003), and once on the Third Team (2000).

At his peak, Webb's attack power was super strong, and he was extremely gorgeous, and all the offensive methods were played quite well.

Very few people can prevent Webber from killing in a 1v1 situation, and if the touch comes up, Webber can score 40+ points at any time.

Webb's low-post technology is one of the best in the league, its small hook hand, the footsteps under the basket, are top-notch, it can be said that you can use low-post technology and TD heads-up forward, in addition to Weber, you can't find a second, the baby-hook after turning the back feels extremely good, the wrist flexibility is good, the ball point is high, the arc is large, and the frame area is small, which is one of the most powerful offensive means in the league at that time.

In addition to the back shot, Webb's mid-range shot is also quite accurate, and I used to see Weber's fast down after blocking and dismantling, and a cross-pick with white chocolate, and then using the mid-shot to solve the problem.

Due to his outstanding physical fitness, Webb's breakthrough is very explosive, with strong instantaneous start-up ability, and the strength of his breakthrough is no less than that of Kenyon Martin.

Webber has a certain three-point ability near the three-point line, which not only makes it more difficult for him to defend, but also allows him to pull the opponent inside, thus creating a breakthrough and space for his offensive players.

Most of the time, Webb is the team's first choice for singles.

As a Princeton player, Webb is very good at cutting and finding open space on the move.

But although he has strong single-player ability, he does not stick to the ball, and his off-ball offense and ball-holding offensive ability are balanced, which makes his defenders have to pay attention to Webb's movements all the time, because Webber is not able to attack with the ball, he can attack all the time, as long as the defender is a little careless, Webber can immediately run out of the open space and score easily.

Coupled with the system of the Kings back then, Webber and Bibby or Williams had a very strong mutual effect, and basically Webb only needed to cut out the empty space, and the ball could be delivered to his hand.

Webb's biggest drawback on the offensive side is not in the technical aspect, but in the stability, and the stability is due to physical reasons, Weber suffered a knee injury at his peak, which greatly reduced his offensive firepower, we see that Webb's offense in the late period mostly ended in mid-range shots, not that he was good at mid-range shots, but for the purpose of protecting himself, so even if Weber's skills are excellent, he can't play them, which causes great ups and downs in the state, and often stops and stops, which also has an adverse impact on the team's system.

There is also a free throw shooting rate of more than 60% in his career, it is hard to imagine that he has such a soft touch, and the free throw is not good, maybe he is really talented, and he disdains to practice free throws.

Frankly speaking, Webber's defense has always been very average, maybe genius players have this kind of common problem, that is, they don't pay attention to defense, or they don't like to use an ugly defense to destroy a wonderful offense, but no matter which explanation, Webber always seems to don't like to put too much effort on defense, so to speak, until the last moment of the game, it is basically impossible to see Webber defend with all his strength.

Physically, he is more than capable of being a top-tier defensive player, with excellent movement, an extra-long arm span, and explosive jumps.

These are all prerequisites for being a good defender, but Webb doesn't take advantage of much.

He is often habitually out of position, and in terms of defensive awareness, his energy is always not very concentrated, and the enthusiasm for assisting and supplementing defense is relatively low, giving people the feeling of leisurely strolling, and Webber seems to prefer to blow up opponents rather than freeze opponents.

But in terms of rebounding, Weber is not ambiguous, the position of the card, and the judgment of the ball landing point are very accurate, especially the frontcourt board, the timing of its rush, and the height control of the board are very in place.

In terms of blocks, it is relatively average, and the data of about 1.5 in his career can only be said to be passing.

A talented, talented, once-in-a-decade basketball genius.

The perfect combination of technique, speed, explosiveness, and vision on the pitch, a representative of the new generation of all-round strikers.

Talented players are extremely talented, both physically and in basketball.

The action is very entertaining.
