Whether the NBA is improving or regressing, Xiaobian believes that the physical quality of players has improved, but the way of playing has regressed. Now the way of playing is too simple, that is, to make almost three points, the tactics are much less, and the personality of the players is not so distinct. The one-handed grab, which was once all the rage, is now almost invisible. So what is the reason for it, after reading my analysis, you naturally have the answer.
First of all, it has to do with the rhythm of the game, now the pace of the game is too fast, 24 seconds is completely enough. Many times in the regular season, there are only a few balls to shoot, and it doesn't take much time at all. The second offense was also changed from 24 seconds to 14 seconds, which forced players to increase their shots. And one-handed grab the ball needs to read the defense, but also constantly back play, for the time consumption is large, the player naturally slowly use less.
In fact, it is also related to the slow loss of back-to-back singles technology, saying that the back-body technology is going to be lost, it is really not appalling. You're looking for stars who are now averaging 25 points per game, but there are too few who will really carry their backs. Trae Young, Curry, Alphabet Brother, these are the top scorers, and their back technique is too general. And one-handed grabbing the ball is the prelude to the back technology, when the back technology is about to disappear, the one-handed grasp of the ball must also be reduced.
There is also the problem of player talent, you let NBA players grab the ball with one hand, almost all of them can do it, but there are very few in actual combat. In actual combat, there is defense, physical exertion, and pressure, in such an environment, it is not easy to firmly grasp the ball with one hand, and it is a mistake to do it well. For the sake of prudence, many players, if they can, are rarely used.
Finally, there is the personality of the players, everyone is now going with the flow, almost no characteristics. Look at the data is indeed exploding, many are faster than 30+, even quasi-triple-double, but the player's characteristics are much weaker. Everyone has three points in mind for one purpose, and has no characteristics of their own. Less temper, less competitiveness, less gangsterism, so in such an environment, people are more willing to shoot three points than to use skills such as one-handed catch.
