The most critical reason why the NBA has become the world's most watched basketball league is that its players have the world's unique offensive ability, and the offensive skills used by their superstars are unguardable. However, in addition to the NBA's various offensive stunts, defensive stunts are also endless. Let's take a look at those defensive stunts in the NBA and give them a rating by the way.
A Grade: James Chases the Cap
James' defense has always been criticized for dragging down his achievements, in fact, if he is serious about defending, few opponents can withstand it, especially in terms of chasing caps. As long as James follows behind the offensive players, the latter is estimated to be panicking when he attacks quickly, after all, the death of the hat and the shots of various defenders being chased by the hat are still vivid.
S Rating: Leonard Death Entanglement
After being selected by the Spurs, Leonard quickly tapped into his defensive talent, and with his long arm span and outstanding palm, he played steals fascinatingly, and even gained the reputation of death entanglement. As for how terrifying Leonard's death entanglement is, looking at James at that time, everyone understands that there is no one who can give the Heat Such a lot of pressure on the defensive end, except Leonard.
SS Level: Battier's blindfold, Russell's attack
As one of the league's top 3D players a decade ago, Battier's defense is one of the best in the league, and his original blindfold method does not know how many defenders are miserable, even Kobe Bryant has been tortured by it, and he has to make the shooting difficulty every time he encounters. However, everyone usually plays or don't learn Battier to play like this, a careless may evolve into a stadium accident.
If you want to name the number one defensive center in NBA history, Russell is definitely well deserved. In that era when the interior was supreme, Russell not only defended opponents with physical fitness, but also played well in attacking the heart. Every time he restrained his opponent from receiving the ball, he would ask: Why don't your teammates give you a pass? After several rounds of questioning, the opponent was completely numb, and could only weakly say: Teammates did not take me seriously. At this point, Russell is really invincible on the defensive end.
SSS Level: Piston Jordan's Law
Throughout the history of the NBA, there are always a few players who can't prevent him from completing the score no matter how much they defend, and Jordan, the god of basketball, is one of the representatives. And how to defend against such a superstar? The Pistons gave Jordan's Law. As soon as Jordan gets the ball, the Pistons will cut off his contact with his teammates and use rude physical confrontation to consume his physical strength, even if he sees blood. In the face of this defensive system, Jordan has also been defeated by the Pistons in the playoffs consecutively, and if it were not for Jordan's masochistic hard training later, Jordan's law might have really strangled the basketball god.
