In the NBA, signature stars have a strong ability to hold the ball, and once they get the ball, they will turn defenders into anxiety sufferers, because they probably can't stop these superstars from scoring points no matter what they do.
There are many players who have a strong ability to hold the ball, but the ability to have no ball is not enough, which will lead to the team's technical and tactical connotations are not rich enough, to put it bluntly, these players may not be willing to spend any physical energy to run, or their running awareness and ability are lacking, such as Andre Drummond and Jordan Jr., you want them to run tactics like a small man, or let them like Paul Gasol or Nicola Jokic in the high position to revitalize the whole team, is it not difficult for strong people?
The so-called players with strong ball-free ability usually need to have flexible and rapid running and awareness, they can be familiar with the essentials of tactics and insight into capturing fleeting fighters on the field, of course, the most important thing is to have a hand of accurate projection, as long as there is this, even if you stand in the bottom corner and stand motionless, you will get a lot of shooting opportunities. Players with strong ballless ability can often enrich the team's tactical play routines and greatly improve the offensive ability of the entire team, which is an excellent and necessary configuration for the championship team.
Today, we will take stock of the top ten players with the strongest ballless ability, and the players who can be selected are mainly based on winning the championship and making important contributions, and also refer to the huge influence of players in the game.
Some people have counted Durant's three-point shooting rate and the three-point shooting rate of dry pulling with the ball, but the three-point shooting rate of dry plucking is higher! It is really worthy of being a player with Maddy as a template, and he finally practiced this famous stunt of Maddy.
It's not that Durant doesn't shoot a high three-point shooting rate when he catches the ball, but relative to most players, he has a high shooting rate no matter how he shoots, and whether Durant holds the ball or not, the defensive players will always stick to him.
Because Durant's ability is too strong, the ball often gets into his hands, which makes people ignore his ability to have no ball. In fact, a player like Durant who shoots accurately, whether he has the ball in his hand or not, the opponent does not dare to relax for a moment.
As long as he wants, he can do anything, he can tell others that he will catch the ball in that position and shoot successfully.
Few people will discuss Larry Bird's ability to play without the ball, in fact, he is probably the most non-ball player in history, even in the eighties, he played basketball that was ahead of the times, and it was he and the magician who played basketball that was beyond the times to save the NBA.
He can send a crotch-piercing pass after receiving the ball to make his center easily follow the dunk, or he can receive the ball in the running position and dunk straight to the basket to score, of course, you can put him two steps to see if you can prevent his breakthrough, he will tell you who is the sharpshooter of that era! I almost forgot to tell you that even if he receives the ball behind the rebound, he can draw a super high parabola behind the rebound to score; he often has to turn his back to the ball and shoot backwards when the opponent is defending, even if the defender is Pippen and Jordan or Magic Johnson.
His ability to have no ball is because he has ten thousand ways to kill the game after he gets the ball, so when he runs without the ball, you will be very afraid, afraid that he will get the ball, in fact, even if he does not get the ball, you will be very afraid, in short, he will feel uneasy on the field, oh, no! Even when he's off the field, his opponents will be restless.
Many people do not realize how strong Jordan's no-ball ability is, Jordan is not famous for his no-ball ability is because his personal ability is too strong, the opponent will not give him too many opportunities to run without the ball, so Jordan can only switch his mode according to the situation on the field, he will try to be perfect when he can hold the ball and attack, and he will also grasp it well when there is no ball opportunity.
O'Neill, the shark, once said, "Imagine what it would be like if I had the feel of his. I will be the best! Oh, I'm already the best, how could I say such a stupid thing! ”
He's talking about Peja Stojakovic, a player like this, a sharpshooter-level player whose no-ball ability is definitely one of the strongest in the league.
In that era, Peja was also at the top of the MVP list of superstars such as Kobe, Duncan and the Sharks.
In contrast to Durant, Manu Ginobili's three-point shooting rate from the ball is obviously higher than his own three-point shooting rate, which may be related to the height of the two, but because of this, the defender will have a lot of headaches in defending Gino Belgium, because you must always cling to him, so as not to get a chance by his unintended run.
Ginobili is also a master-level performance when he has no ball, his no-ball running position can sometimes be described as a thief, he will even take advantage of the weakness of the opponent's big man's slow pace, and see the opportunity for the opponent's big man to block and defend his players and run out.
Even at the age of 37, manu can still make defenders terrified.
Stephen Curry's ability to have no ball is also always overlooked, because he is a point guard, often with the ball in hand, but his ability to have no ball is definitely the top in history.
No, his all-time three-point shooting ability alone is enough to make his firepower spread to every corner of the field. Whether he runs or not, whether he runs in the bottom corner or the middle circle, or even in his own half, you can't have any relaxation in him, otherwise he will give you a fatal blow right away.
Also, he's shooting three points, he's shooting two, you probably have to go on three offenses to tie the score, and if you get excited, you can't play the game. Curry's projection ability is really too strong, coupled with his fast and ethereal running position, many times the opponent must accelerate at full speed when he runs without the ball to be able to keep up with him, it is precisely because of this, the opponent is easy to be shaken away by his fake action when accelerating and defending at full strength, for a killer of Curry's level, as long as there is a gap, he can grasp the fleeting opportunity.
Ray Allen's ability to have no ball must not be questioned, his masterpieces are very many, among which everyone is more impressed by the 2010 Finals G2, the Celtics do not want to return to Boston with a 0:2 total score, so Ray Allen broke out in this game, he hit 8 three-pointers, causing the Lakers to change their defensive strategy against him.
Among the shooting guards, Ray Allen is one of the few stars who play without the ball, and he is superior, after getting the ball, he has many ways to complete the end, whether it is to catch the ball or break through or shake off the opponent and shoot again, he is extremely proficient, whether it is three points or two points, he is not rigid. In addition, his shooting action, which is probably the most standard shooting action in history, has made him even more powerful.
Such a player is undoubtedly an excellent championship puzzle. His most crucial shot in the finals G6 that year was the best interpretation of his ability to have no ball, and it was also the most classic work that reflected his value.
Reggie Miller, who has performed a miracle of 9 seconds and 8 minutes, is very similar to Ray Allen, their three-point shooting is very accurate, the total number of three-point shots is in the top three in history, but Miller is also different from Allen, that is, Miller looks thinner, but his playing style reveals a fierce energy. Perhaps miller, who had lived through the history of hand-to-hand combat with the Bad Boys in the eighties, knew that only by being tougher could he survive in the league, even if he fired from outside the three-point line, he had to cross a muscular jungle to get a chance.
Miller is very good at catching the ball and shooting points after running without the ball, first of all, his slender body type is very suitable for running away from opponents, and secondly, his shooting skills and accuracy are also the top in history. It is precisely because of this top weapon that Miller has had the top two SGs in history at his peak, especially the confrontation with god-level Jordan in the East, and he led the team to drag the game into the seventh, and in the playoffs to fight with the opponent to the last game to decide the winner, which is extremely rare for Jordan. In the 2000 Finals, Reggie Miller also led the team to six games with O'Neal's Lakers, without his accurate projection and no-ball weapons, the Pacers simply could not survive the sixth game.
For the shooter-type players, Reggie Miller's achievements are worthy of respect, and he still has a chance to win the championship after that, but unfortunately, the Auburn Hill Palace incident that year caused the Pacers to suffer a devastating blow, and eventually Miller retired with a hint of regret.
Klay Thompson is probably the best championship puzzle in history, he doesn't need the ball to blast down points that James can't get, and he only needs a handful of shots because his shots are so accurate!
He played 29 minutes in the third quarter to get 60 points in the game, only dribbled the ball 11 times, holding the ball for only a few tens of seconds, 20 of his 21 shots hit by assists, he shot 6 of the first 7, shot 15 in the first half and scored 40 points, and after getting 20 points in the third quarter, he clocked out of work because the point difference was too big, otherwise with his hot feel, it was not impossible to break Kobe's record of 81 points!
In addition, Thompson also had the miracle of 37 points in a single quarter, and he made 13 shots in the third quarter of a game against the Kings in 2015, including 9 of three points, and scored 37 points in a single quarter, breaking the all-time record of 33 points in a single quarter for Cameron Anthony and George Gervin the Iceman. Needless to say, just by looking at these numbers, you can feel how terrible Tang Shen's ballless ability and projection accuracy really are.
The reason why Hamilton's no-ball ability is strong is not that he is invincible in projection, nor is his running consciousness extraordinary, but that his running ability is really the first in history!
His strength can be said to be based on his ability to run a marathon with you on the basketball court to the end! Don't be convinced, his father is a long-distance runner, and his mother is a sprinter, don't say anything not to lose at the starting line, it's all a lie, compared with him, you can't win at all!
Among the well-known basketball players, Jordan and Kobe Bryant's physical strength is very amazing, and Iverson is also the longest player at the peak, Carl Malone and James were also once iron men, maybe everyone will be surprised by the physical strength of these people, but for Hamilton, you don't have to be surprised at all, he can keep running until you are tired. Now, you may know the 2004 Finals, who exactly prevented Kobe Bryant!
When the Pistons attacked that year, Hamilton was shooting in addition to running.
The great thing about Hamilton's no-ball is his running, and you have to follow because he can really shoot, even if it's just a mid-shot, he can kill opponents.
