We all know that the NBA court is larger than the FIBA basketball court, and the NBA's three-point line is also farther than the FIBA three-point line. The NBA three-point line, the distance at the top of the arc is 7.25 meters, while the FIBA three-point line, the distance at the top of the arc is only 6.75 meters, that is, at the top of the arc, the NBA three-point line is 0.5 meters farther than FIBA.
But why is it that in the NBA, it is rare for an NBA star to score 40 points at every turn, and in the FIBA arena, it is rare to score 20 points?
What I don't understand in particular is that in the NBA, many stars can shoot three-pointers directly 1-2 meters outside the three-point line, so according to the FIBA game, you can directly shoot three-pointers at a position of 2-3 meters outside the three-point line.
Actually, these are all impressions, and there is a big difference between FIBA basketball and NBA basketball.
First, the scale of defense is different
The NBA encourages individual offense, so the use of joint defense is rare and unfamiliar. In the FIBA arena, many teams focus on team defense, and joint defense tactics are used a lot.
The joint defense tactics seem to have a certain effect on the limitation of stars.
Second, the ball is different
The NBA's balls are custom-made and different from those used in FIBA.
Of course, this is only a slight impact, because the specifications of the ball are all the same, but the material is different, and for a real star, the influence can be quickly adapted and adjusted.
3. The time is different
In FIBA, a basketball game is only 40 minutes, while the NBA is 48 minutes, so it's normal to score a lower score.
Fourth, the tactical position is different
In the NBA, they are the second largest team leaders, with more ball possession and high tactical status. When it comes to FIBA, everyone can only divide the ball equally, and the score naturally tends to be even.
That's why a lot of NBA stars don't score well in FIBA.
But which players are best suited for the FIBA arena?
In fact, in the FIBA arena, the most popular and unsolvable thing is the NBA's mid-range shot.
Because the NBA's mid-range shot, if it is a little farther, is actually enough for FIBA's three-point shots, that is to say, the most cost-effective mid-range shot in the NBA is the most cost-effective in the FIBA arena.
The so-called magic ball, either rushing to the basket or shooting three-pointers, may be limited by the joint defense, especially when the hand feels cold. The reason why the United States team lost so badly at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2006 World Championships in Japan was actually because they did not shoot and were limited by the joint defense.
Therefore, in the international arena, Anthony and Durant, who have entered the peak, are unsolvable killers. As for Kobe, there is not much room to play at all, his main focus is on defense, and the offensive end will only be used when needed, such as in the 2008 Olympic finals, Kobe Bryant completely stood up in the fourth quarter.
In FIBA, the easiest thing to play a small climax is actually a defensive counterattack, but this is basically limited to downwind balls.
For example, James, Iguodala, etc., many NBA stars actually like to defend and counterattack.
Then there are players who have a good combination of breakthrough shots, such as Irving.
All in all, different games and different rules make it different for different styles of stars to adapt.
