James's current point guards: Curry, Lillard and Brunson's pick-and-roll art
1. Brunson's playoff rise
In the NBA's world of point guards, every break, pass, and shot from a player tugs at the heartstrings of fans. Recently, Lakers superstar LeBron James talked about several of the top point guards in his eyes on the show, with Brunson's performance being particularly eye-catching.
Brunson, the point guard from the Knicks, has shown exceptional strength in the playoffs. James mentioned that Brunson always finds an opportunity against defense, whether it's relying on his speed to break through a tall post player or punishing opponents with mid-range shooting, he has shown great ball intelligence and skill. In the series between the Knicks and the 76ers, Brunson used his speed to throw off top interior players like Embiid many times and scored easy layups. What's even more commendable is that he can flexibly adjust his offensive strategy according to the opponent's reaction, so that the opponent is unable to defend him.
In addition to his individual offensive prowess, Brunson also plays an important role in the Knicks' playbook. The Knicks will play Brunson without the ball first, look for opportunities with other players' balls, and then let Brunson attack with the ball. This tactical arrangement allowed Brunson to maintain an efficient offensive efficiency on the court, while also bringing more tactical changes to the team. When Brunson is on the ball, Knicks interior players such as Hartenstein or Robinson will provide him with cover to help him better break through the opposition's defense.
2. Curry and Lillard's pick-and-roll art
When talking about the pick-and-roll skills of point guards, James specifically mentioned Curry and Lillard, two of the top players on the active roster. He said Curry and Lillard are among the best players on the roster to take advantage of big man cover. Whether it's the Warriors' Green or the Trail Blazers' Big Lowe, they can provide excellent cover for Curry and Lillard, allowing both point guards to get shots after halftime.
The reason why Curry and Lillard's pick-and-roll tactics are so effective is that their excellent shooting ability makes opponents dare not relax easily when defending; On the other hand, because of the tacit cooperation between them and the big players, they are able to find the best attacking opportunities in a short period of time. When the big man finishes the screen, Curry and Lillard tend to shoot straight away, as opposing centers often struggle to keep up with their pace. And even if the center can return to the defense in time, Curry and Lillard's shots have already been shot, leaving the opponent helpless.
However, James also mentioned that as they get older and plagued by injuries, Curry and Lillard's shooting ability has not been as consistent as it was in their prime. Although they are still able to score on the court with great skill and experience, the range and consistency of their shots have declined. This is undoubtedly a challenge for both players, but they can still make up for it with tactics such as blocking and pick-and-roll.
3. James' point guard perspective
As a player who has played against many of the top point guards, James has a unique perspective on the point guard position. He believes that a good point guard not only needs to have excellent offensive ability, but also needs to be able to play a role in connecting the team on the court. In James' view, Brunson, Curry and Lillard are all players with that ability.
Brunson plays a central role in the Knicks' system, not only scoring on his own, but also creating opportunities for his teammates. His passing vision and ball intelligence are excellent and he is able to make the right decisions in key moments. Curry and Lillard are the absolute core of the Warriors and Trail Blazers, and their offensive ability and leadership skills are key to the team's victory.
James also mentioned that a good point guard also needs to have excellent physical fitness and defensive ability. In the high-intensity arena of the NBA, only enough physical fitness can cope with various challenges. Defensive ability is an indispensable part of the point guard on the court, and only by being able to effectively limit the opponent's offense can the team better protect the team's victory.
Fourth, the future and challenges of point guards
As the NBA continues to evolve and change, so does the point guard position. From the traditional point guard in the past to the current two-way guard, and even the small forward point guard, the role and positioning of the point guard are constantly expanding and changing. For active point guards, they will need to constantly adapt to this change and improve their abilities in order to establish themselves in the league.
At the same time, as young players continue to emerge and grow, the point guard position also faces fierce competition. How to maintain their advantage in this position and keep improving has become a question that every point guard needs to think about. And for point guards who have already achieved something, how to extend their careers and continue to contribute to the team is also one of the challenges they need to face.
Overall, the point guard position plays a crucial role in the NBA. Whether it's a current top point guard or a young player who is making his mark, he'll need to constantly strive to improve his abilities and adapt to changes in the league to be more successful in his career.

Point guard style: Poetry praises heroes
There are talented people in the country, and the point guard is dominant. Brunson was as fast as lightning and unstoppable in breaking through the defensive line. Kurilillard is a brilliant player, and the blocking and dismantling are like a miracle. Arrows from outside the three-point line rained, and halftime had passed and eyebrows had been raised.
Brunson, New York City, shows his magic and is comfortable with the ball without the ball. Embiid is like a phantom in front of him, and his speed is unbeatable. The mid-range shot is as accurate as a god's hand, and the opponent's defense line is difficult to defend. The Knicks' tactics are changeable, and Brunson's core is indispensable.
Curry Lillard is a double star, and the Warriors and Trail Blazers are proud of each other. Next to Green's big lore, the blocking and dismantling cooperation is endless. After half the court, you can see the shooter, and it is difficult for the opposing center to keep up. Although the years are long, the skills are there, and the peak is still self-reliant. The shooting is still sharp, and the range is still reduced.
Emperor Zhan commented that it was profound, and the way of point guard was inherited. Offense and defense need to be equally important, and it is true that the team is connected together. Physical fitness is the foundation, and defensive ability is not to be taken lightly. In the face of challenges, you must be brave and have a long career.
The point guard style is magnificent, and the poems and odes have been passed down through the ages. Who knows today's heroes? Legends of Tomorrow to be continued. May all point guards work hard to write a new chapter in basketball.
