After watching the playoffs for a while, a question has always bothered Xiao Feng, what is the true meaning of basketball? In the impression of fans, team basketball is the key to victory, but in recent years, the growth of some big cores of holding the ball seems to interpret the meaning of basketball in the new era, and exaggerated data has made the league shape a lot of heroes of the era, but in the final analysis, what is the true meaning of basketball? Data or team?
Some people say that Curry has changed this era, under the influence of Curry, to make basketball simple, but Xiao Feng feels that in the new era, Harden is the biggest beneficiary, and his style of play with the big core of the ball has made many young players rush to follow suit, and more and more exaggerated data seems to be losing the original meaning of basketball. And Harden's playing style of holding the ball big core seems to have become the upper limit among many players in the league. For Harden, his career is exciting enough, but most of the time is just a guest, with the assistance of play, achieving Harden's greatness, but also doomed Harden's failure.
From the sixth man in the league to the first-line player in the league, Harden's success is lucky, because the Rockets were willing to take the time to cultivate him and give him more room to grow, but where is harden's ceiling? Many people feel that Harden is often weak in the playoffs, he is not a qualified leader, but Xiao Feng feels that it is largely due to Harden's playing style, the ball is highly concentrated, scoring and organization are both, behind the gorgeous data is their helplessness, the increase in the intensity of the playoff defense is doomed to the reality of their data decline, too much ball power concentration gives Harden countless honors, but also brings great harm to Harden, especially in the playoffs, the tactics are too single, it is easy for the opponent to grasp the lifeblood, In fact, this is also the reason why Harden has not been able to break through for so many years. Basketball is a team sport after all, and it's too difficult to simply expect a player to play and win a championship.
If Harden's experience is not obvious enough, then Doncic is the best example, G1 against the Suns, Doncic is as unstoppable as killing the gods, but we can obviously feel that the initiative has always been in the hands of the Suns, a little effort will widen the point difference, why is this? Ming Ming Doncic has played well enough, 45 points has allowed him to break a number of records, why is the Lone Ranger playing so hard?
In fact, it is easy to understand, the Suns limited Doncic to drive the teammates around him, Dinwiddie only 8 points, Bronson 14 points, if not the bench is good enough, maybe the game has long been spent, the strategy given by the Suns is very obvious, Doncic can score at will, but want to mobilize teammates, sorry, no way. After so many years, although Doncic has gained data, the experience of failure after failure has forced us to examine the feasibility of this style of play. Harden's experience actually pointed out the direction for Doncic, fighting alone will never succeed, and it is not enough to win the championship alone.
In fact, through the performance of this season, it seems that the traditional ball-holding core playing style is no longer adapted to the trend, the stability of the Suns, the Bucks' offensive and defensive balance is the true solution of basketball, although they do not play exaggerated data, but in the correct system everyone plays very easily, not overly dependent on the play of a player, the state of the whole people are all offensive cores, all are defensive gates, such a style of play will never be outdated, after all, it is the ultimate meaning of basketball.
Times are progressing, but the right solution to basketball will never go out of style, in the final analysis, basketball is still a sport of five people, Harden has created miracles, but always with a hint of regret, I hope that future young players can recognize the meaning of basketball as soon as possible, and finally wish everyone can get their highest honor.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
