How to choose a genuine center
Offensive rebound 21 13
Basketball Center (C) is the closest to the basket and usually the strongest player in the team's five positions. The significance of the center can be understood from several levels:
1. Defensive core
Frame protector: The center is responsible for protecting the penalty area and is the first barrier to block the opponent's layups and dunks. An excellent center can reduce opponents' shooting percentage by blocking, interfering with shooting and positioning.
Rebound Protection: Centers are often the main force in grabbing defensive rebounds, and controlling rebounds is controlling the ball, especially at critical moments.
Command and defense: A high-level center can see the whole game, command teammates to defend and stand and switch defenses, similar to the "goalkeeper" on the defense line.
2. Offensive pillar
Low-post offense: Traditional centers are good at back-to-back singles, relying on physical confrontation and footwork skills to score, which is a stable option in the offense.
The effect of connecting: Even if you don't take action, an excellent center can attract double-teams and create empty spaces for outside shooters.
Pick-and-roll Terminator: Modern centers often participate in pick-and-roll tactics, score down or open up space.
3. Tactical key
System core: "organized centers" such as Jokic and Gasol can even organize attacks like point guards.
Offensive and Defensive Balance Point: The performance of the center directly determines the team's offensive and defensive quality in the inside, and is the fulcrum of both ends of the offense and defense.
4. Psychological deterrence and dominance symbols
Historical centers such as O'Neal, Olajuwon, Ewing, and Duncan (although they are power forwards but often play centers), can form an overwhelming existence on the court, enhance the morale of the whole team and suppress the confidence of the opponent.
In summary, the Thunder need a genuine center as the core of the defense. The trading template - "Tyson Cleotis Chandler".
Height 7 feet 1 inch (216 cm)
Weight 235 pounds (107 kg)
Full straight sprint (28 meters): about 3.4 - 3.8 In a discussion on a basketball forum, some fans mentioned: "Tyson's vertical bounce should be at least 36 inches, which makes his head one inch higher than the basket at the maximum jump height, and I think he can reach this height.
Summary (10-point estimation):
Dimension Evaluation Score (estimation)
Upper limb strength Strong but non-explosive 6.5 / 10
Core strength Excellent 8 / 10
Lower limb strength Excellent 8 / 10
Lower limb strength Excellent 8.5 / 10
Practical confrontation ability, efficient and practical type 8 / 10
He does not rely on "brute force" to dominate the inside, but on length + coordination + jump + Confrontational judgment is the representative of "sports defensive center".
Currently, the market can be traded players: Mavericks Davis, Heat center Adebayo, Pacers Turner, Trail Blazers inside...
Personal opinion:
In the modern basketball circle, some organizations attach great importance to commercial benefits and topic traffic. This creates some strange social phenomena - some low-professional basketball commentators will deceive people, promote one-sided data, and erase the basic laws and common sense of basketball. (For example, a pure small forward is the center of the team, and the strength of the substitute player is the core of the team)
But the game results of the top professional league cannot deceive people! Without qualified centers in the basketball world, there will be no rebound protection and no two attacks. It is difficult to win!
