But actually the most important thing in basketball is shooting!

In the eyes of many people, the easiest thing in playing basketball is not dribbling or passing, because many beginners can't dribble well, and passing is always easy to be intercepted. On the contrary, shooting seems to be the easiest, as long as the ball Just vote it out.

But in fact, among the three basic skills of dribbling, passing and shooting, shooting is the least simple and the most important of the three.

why?

Because basketball is actually very simple and can be summed up in one sentence - find a way to put the ball into the basket!

So no matter how gorgeous your dribbling is, how coquettish your passing is, or how sharp your breakthrough is, the most critical and important thing is actually shooting, which is to put the ball into the basket.

Of course, you will say that I can also lay up, dunk, and put the ball into the basket.

But when it comes to the court, especially in an NCAA game that follows FIBA ​​rules and does not defend for three seconds, how many chances do you have for a layup and how many chances do you have for a dunk?

Give a simple example.

In NBA games, you may see many dunks in a game, but in FIBA ​​games, if you observe carefully, you will find that there are much fewer dunks in a game than in NBA games.

Even if it's a Dream Team game, as long as it's not a weak team like that, if it's against a strong team like Spain, there will definitely be fewer dunks than in an NBA game.

This is not a human problem, the players on the Dream Team are all NBA stars.

This is a matter of rules and the way of playing.

Gasol and Gasol of the Spanish team are standing in the three-second zone. Are you trying to make a layup or dunk?

The same is true in the NCAA. Without three seconds of defense, the center can always squat under the basket. If you break through, you must face the opponent's center. Whether it is a layup or a dunk, it is very difficult. That's why tactics are needed, pick-and-rolls are needed, and...

So, under this rule system, what kind of scoring defense is the easiest and simplest?

Shoot!

Whether it's a three-pointer or a two-pointer, as long as it's not in the three-second zone and not directly facing the opponent's center, the easiest way for guards and small forwards to score is to shoot.

It’s not just FIBA ​​and NCAA, it’s the same in the NBA, CBA, and even on the field – shooting may not be the best way to score, after all, players have different characteristics, but it is definitely the easiest and simplest way to score.

However, this "simple" does not mean easy, it just means that there are fewer steps and simpler actions than other scoring methods.

As for easy?

That's absolutely not the case.

Maybe shooting is simple, but it is not easy to make a shot, and it is even more difficult to make the ball under pressure on the court and under tight defense.

As for Zhuang Yu's choice to squat and shoot three-pointers instead of holding the ball and shooting two-pointers, firstly, it can open up offensive space for his teammates. Secondly, it is easier to shoot after catching the ball than shooting with the ball, and it also saves physical energy. Three is one point more than two points.

This is why almost all pure shooters in the NBA are three-point shooters. Have you ever seen a pure shooter in the NBA who is a two-point shooter?

"Whoosh..."

When Zhuang Yu came to the three-point line in the right corner, his teammates immediately passed the ball over. Zhuang Yu took the ball and bent his knees, but the defender immediately pounced on him.

It wasn't Grant, the small forward. He was the one responsible for guarding Zhuang Yu, but he had been blocked by Parker, and it was Kleib who rushed over.

This is also Coach Collins's instruction. You must keep an eye on Zhuang Yu and not let him shoot three-pointers. His three-point threat is too great.

"Want to shoot a three-pointer? Humph, it's not that easy." Kleib sneered, raising one hand to cover Zhuang Yu's face.

"The defense change was pretty quick. It seems like they were specifically restricting my three-pointers." Zhuang Yu understood clearly and was not surprised. He still raised the ball.

what?

Kleib's heart skipped a beat and he hesitated a little, but in the end he subconsciously stepped up his feet, fearing that Zhuang Yu would actually shoot.

The next moment, Zhuang Yu started up and accelerated suddenly.

After passing Kleib in one step, Zhuang Yu did not hit the basket. Instead, he took a step forward and immediately jumped up to make a sudden jump shot.

Since there is no way to shoot a three-pointer, just shoot a two-pointer.

Swish!

There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.

UCLA won first, with a score of 2:0.

UC Berkeley offense.

Frey advanced with the ball, and after reaching the frontcourt, gave the ball to Klebb. Klebb is the team's ace player, the first scorer, and the initiator of the offense.

When Kleib took the ball, the figure flashed and Zhuang Yu followed him.

"Huh?" Clebb frowned, but he was not surprised.

In previous UCLA games, Zhuang Yu was responsible for guarding the opponent's arrow players many times, so it was not surprising to Kleib that he guarded himself.

Immediately, Kleib lowered his center of gravity, glanced at the defense on the court, and first made a triple threat, raising the ball and tapping his toes to confuse Zhuang Yu.

But it was no use.

"Sure enough..." Crabb thought to himself.

They have studied Zhuang Yu's defense and came to a surprising conclusion, that is, fake moves have no effect on Zhuang Yu. He can always accurately identify fake moves and true intentions. It is very difficult to confuse him with fake moves.

It's weird, but it's not like Klebb hasn't encountered it before.

He once participated in a training camp and had the opportunity to play against NBA players.

No matter what kind of fake moves he makes, the other party will be able to see through them, and when he actually takes action, they will be able to accurately judge and respond.

That time, Klebb was intercepted and blocked. He couldn't remember how many times.

But that is an NBA player, and he is a player known for his defense among NBA players, but Zhuang Yu is only an NCAA player and a freshman.

This is incredible.

"Pick and roll."

Klebb gestured for a pick-and-roll.

Although it felt incredible, it was the fact. He could only understand that maybe some people were born with this talent.

A teammate came to pick and roll, and Kleib took the opportunity to get rid of it.

But it failed again.

Zhuang Yu was well prepared, bypassing the screener in advance and returning to Klebb. Klebb couldn't help but frown. He hesitated and passed the ball.

After several passes, it was given to small forward Grant. Grant made a pull-up jumper, but failed to hit.

UCLA got the rebound.

Drew II advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and looked at Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu gave him a gesture. Drew II understood and passed the ball to Powell. At the same time, Latvis stepped forward to screen and block Drew. With Frey facing off against Drew II, Drew II took the opportunity to make an air cut.

"UCLACut?"

Coach Collins sneered, they were already prepared.

Several UC Berkeley players acted immediately and quickly shrank the defense. Center Obote retreated and stared at Drew II.

But they still guessed wrong.

This is not a simple "UCLA Cut". Drew II's air cut is just a cover, and the real end point is actually Zhuang Yu.
