Big Forward: Aldridge
Aldridge is 2.11 meters tall, with an arm span of 2.25 meters, weighs 106 kilograms, has rich low offensive skills and soft shooting feel, and is the top low scorer, from jump shots from 15 feet away to attacking with the ball and the basket, from using his shoulders to squeeze the opponent's hard hits from the back to the basket, his basic skills are quite solid. The pace under the basket is flexible and reasonable, the attack is extremely threatening, and the turnover jump shot rate is also very high.
With the popularization of the "magic ball theory" and the prevalence of "small ball", the fourth position began to merge with the fifth position into one position, and the offensive dominance on the field was concentrated in the backfield as never before, and the small forward took over the task of attacking the original big forward. In those years, the only thing that comforted San Antonio fans was Ade's stability. After gaining weight in the 17-18 season, he can go to the deep position more, directly strengthen after receiving the ball, the proportion of shots under the basket is stable at 27%, and the success rate of the basket is more than 70%! The all-round skills and solid body board inside and outside make him feel good in blocking the attack, the long two-point jump shot is still his best play, and when the team can't open the situation, he can also come to the waist position to chisel hard, with the shooting point is difficult to reach the turn over straight arm shot to carry the team forward.
Today, he's fighting for his first championship ring at the Nets.
Small forward: Leonard
Leonard is sought after by many fans for his classical style of play and low-key and simple personality, and the coaches are fascinated by his old-school basketball temperament. The superstar has not been able to perform full attendance in almost any season of entering the peak, and the feud with some teams has also made him full of controversy, but it is the two-sided personality he has and the determination of "although thousands of people are looking forward to it" that makes people feel excited.
In terms of aesthetics, Leonard is not as good as Jordan and Kobe, because of the gap in dynamic quality, the scoring means of small cards look more rigid, so it is also called "card frame version of Jordan". But Leonard's strength is that he is taller, stronger, and his offensive style is closer to that of Kobe Bryant in 2008-10.
Simple shoulder fake movements, clean turns, whether it is a turn jump shot to the bottom line or a hooker to the front, there is no superfluous action. Although the ornamentality is not as good as Joko, it is expensive and efficient.
Center: Al Jefferson
Seeing Al Jefferson's game clips can give people the feeling of going back in time, and his playing style is too classical, almost out of touch with the current era. His footsteps in low singles have the wind of mcHale, and the lethality of the face frame tentative step combined with the mid-range jumper is equally amazing. In terms of interior offensive skills alone, he ranks at least in the top three of the league's interior and can often play under the basket footsteps comparable to Duncan.
He's played three seasons with the Celtics, Timberwolves and Jazz, spending most of his time in the No. 5 position, all three of whom see him as the core of the interior. Except for the first two seasons of his career, Jefferson can play an average of 18 plus 10 or more in almost every season. However, his presence on the defensive end is low. As a scoring-type interior lineman, he needs a high ball share, but his ability to strategize is poor, and the choice of points after encountering the bag is difficult to say reasonable.
Jefferson and Horford have more than just names in common, they both belong to the "warm water" leader. One can see him score the highest points and rebounds in the team, but it is difficult to see him save the team with his own hands or bury his opponents alone. For most of his career, Jefferson was left in a situation where his personal data was outstanding and the team's record was dismal, and he was ultimately excluded from the "cornerstone players" players.
During his two years at Bobcats, Jefferson finally improved his ability to maneuver and gradually became a more mature interior player. In the 2013-14 season, Al Jefferson played 73 times in the regular season, handing over a record of 21.8 points, 10.8 boards, 2.1 assists and 1.1 blocks, including points and rebounds, which were the highest in five years. Moreover, Jefferson was the only player in the East Side that averaged "20+10" per game that season, and he was also named to the NBA's Best Team of the Season. As he gained experience, he gradually learned to be a better team player, and if he could be in a team that complemented his own characteristics, his historical status would be further improved. Unfortunately, the pacers who finally joined were not a good choice, and he also bid farewell to the NBA in the final stage of his career and came to China to pan for gold.
Organizing defender: Paul
If the organizational defenders of today's league are ranked, Paul may not be able to enter the top three, but if the selection criteria are changed to "the most classical old school", the Sun 3 will definitely be selected with full votes.
The pursuit of classicism in the position of organizational defender is presumably to regard passing and moving the whole team as the first element, rather than crazy scoring. Paul's ability to dispatch the whole team is obvious to all, the Hornets, Rockets, Suns and even thunder have been reborn because of his arrival, and he is like a plug-and-play benign system that can benefit the team no matter where it is.
Of course, this does not mean that Paul's scoring ability is not good, on the contrary, the most stable middle-shot king in the No. 1 position is Paul, who shot nearly 60% of the Clippers' last season, which is higher than the free throw shooting rate of some players. He is a very smart player who basically does not shoot easily, but his shooting has no blind spots: whether it is a quick stop jump shot or an empty shot, the shooting rate is good, and once the shot is basically ten to nine. It is worth mentioning that Paul is best at playing small and big, after blocking and dismantling, as long as the other party comes to change the defense, relying on the skillful ball control and the rhythm of the old way, Paul can always find space through shaking, and then calmly shoot.
Scoring guard: DeRozan
Three-pointers and space have been deeply impacted by the warriors' success throughout the league. We can say without hesitation that this is the trend of the world, but like the clichéd movie plot, there will always be such a stubborn self-hero practicing the classical one-trick and one style, and DeRozan is standing quietly on the top of the windy city.
In terms of physical talent, DeRozan does not have an advantage in the league, and his arm span of 1.98m is only 2.06m, so he prefers to go to the center when deRozan holds the ball. Facing opposing center players, DeRozan often used a jump shot to end the game. He was the same with the Spurs before, when he had such a good interior player in the middle distance, Aldridge, the opposite side generally did not choose to change defenses, because the latter shot 49.3% from the field, and DeRozan formed the strongest duo in the league at that time.
DeRozan's shooting rhythm is generally like this: he steps on the three-point line, poses three threats to the defender, makes a little dribbling space for himself, the posture is as lazy as ever, takes a step back, takes two strokes down, swings left and right with additional shoulder swings, finds the rhythm to take a step inside, and takes the defender to his shooting hot zone , the free-throw line circle and nearby positions. After that, adjust the foot position with the combined step or pad step, the familiar middle distance, plus the familiar dry pull, with a slight back. This set of tireless technical moves allowed DeRozan to average 25.7 points per game with 48.8% shooting in the new season.
Now the Bulls are 27-14 and now number one in the East, not long ago playing the latest wave of eight consecutive wins, during which Azan had 28.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists. Moreover, he actually sacrificed the back-to-back three-point kill that was blown up at that time.
He still rarely shoots three-pointers, even worse than the center of the team, Vucevic, because he has beaten the center shot to the top level.
Because of the change in the scale of the penalty, the NBA's defensive intensity this season is the highest in the past five years, and many superstars who used to rely on magic ball play to blast exaggerated data and efficiency have suffered Waterloo. Harden, Doncic and Beal are all "victims" of the new season. But DeRozan, who has always adhered to the middle distance, has become a "vested interest" in the general environment.
