best shooting guard

Chapter 706 TA and O
After the Spurs advance, they will usher in a long vacation.

There is no way, the second round of four-on-one matches in the entire league, only they have settled their opponents to advance, and the rest are still entangled with each other.

Let's not talk about the two pairs in the East District, the remaining pair in the West District is enough trouble.

Relying on Harden's layup in Memphis, the Rockets struggled to turn the score into 2:2 and escaped from life and death. However, when they moved to Houston, the Rockets still had to face the fierce offensive of the Memphis people. Harden You can save the Rockets once at the last minute, but you may not be able to save the second time. If the Rockets don't solve their own problems, they will never win against the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies lost a good game. Originally, they could have won 3:1, but who would have thought that Harden would actually descend from the gods at the last moment of the game, abruptly coming out of the double-team of three people, and hitting a layup!

However, the Grizzlies have a good mentality. Anyway, they didn't expect to win easily. Anyway, now it is 2:2, and they are not at a disadvantage.

But the Rockets are not so comfortable here, especially the big insider Howard. This guy scored 12, 16, 10, and 21 in the four games. How can he have the style of the number one center back then?It can be said that Howard has almost become the one who is holding back.

But Howard is really suffering and can't tell, why?Because the two insiders of the Grizzlies happen to be his nemesis.

Qin Yan has his own opinion on why Howard can't beat the "Black and White Bears". In his opinion, it's all due to his size.

figure?

When everyone in the Spurs heard Qin Yan say that this was the reason, they were a little confused. Howard is in good shape, with a height of 211 cm and a weight of 120 kg, plus a body of strong muscles. He should be in good shape as a center. That's right.

The "black and white twin bears" may not be as tall as Howard, right?

"Qin, tell me, why?" Popovich was also very interested. This was the first time he heard that Howard couldn't beat others because of his size. It was quite interesting.

When the boss spoke, Qin Yan didn't dare to neglect, and immediately nodded, "Then tell everyone my opinion."

"Let's talk about Howard first. His figure is a standard "T" shape. What does that mean? Because Howard's upper body strength is abnormal, and his shoulders are also broad. The muscles on the two arms are like several bulging volleyballs connected together. , not only with sharp lines, but also quite scary."

That's right, if you only look at the arms and upper body, Howard is definitely a bug-level figure in the league.

"But if you add his lower body, Howard can't do it. His legs, especially the calves, are really delicate. If you take out his calves, seriously, some big guards Or the legs of the small forward, he will not lose to him! Isn't it Boris?" Qin Yan even called the name directly while talking.

"Don't make trouble, Qin, I'm a power forward now! And my tonnage is actually average." Dior was serious. Of course, this was after he became fat.

However, Qin Yan's words really inspired everyone, and everyone continued to think according to Qin Yan's thinking:

The "T" shape is not without its benefits. Howard's more delicate legs allow Howard to gain superhuman jumping ability (the legs are thinner and the Achilles tendon is long, and the explosive power is also strong. Theoretically, the longer the Achilles tendon, the higher the jump), and the wide body The upper body allows him to take advantage of blocks, dunks, and rebounds, which is why Howard was omnipotent in his peak period.

I still remember Howard led the Magic to kill the Cavaliers and reach the finals at the peak. James, who was also at the peak that year, could not get cheap inside. This is the powerful advantage that the "T" shape brings to Howard!
But the disadvantage of the "T" shape is also obvious, that is, the base is not stable.

If it's an outside player or a swingman, then it's okay to have an unstable foot, but Howard is a center!It is really terrible for a center forward to be unstable!

Because of the unstable base, Howard couldn't defend against heavy center forwards with good back-up skills. Also because of the unstable base, Howard's own back-up was not powerful enough, and a heavy insider could basically block him.

Moreover, with the growth of age and the image of injuries, the athletic ability brought to him by the "T" shape is gradually fading, and Howard himself has not developed any decent skills. Once he loses his athletic ability, He lost the capital to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Anyone who can work in the Spurs has a high IQ, and can basically think of this point, so everyone quickly understood what Qin Yan meant.

"What you said is indeed reasonable, what about Mark and Zach?" Duncan urged Qin Yan with an expression of "you are right, continue quickly".

"Mark has a typical A-shaped figure, very similar to my fellow Yao Ming after gaining weight." Qin Yan is also very straightforward.

"Type A?"

Everyone started to think again, and Ginobili even took a tactical board casually and began to draw on it.

Well, he obviously didn't realize that he was holding Popovich's tactical board, and the old man was also preparing to draw...

"Understood." Ginobili figured it out halfway through the drawing. After all, he had played against Yao Ming and Gasol Jr., and he was very impressed.

"The A-type center you are talking about is a player with insufficient or average upper body strength, but very good lower body strength, right?"

"Correct answer!" Qin Yan gave a thumbs up. As expected of a man who is always ready to be a coach, his reaction is quick.

"A-shaped center forwards are very stable. Although their upper body is not strong enough, their solid lower body can withstand all attacks. Whether it is defending the opponent's back or playing singles by themselves, a solid bottom is their strongest. Big weapon!"

This is true, let’s not talk about Gasol. After Yao Ming gained weight back then, if he played one-on-one, no one could stop Yao Ming from getting under the basket! (Except for O'Neill) The base game is as stable as Mount Tai, no matter the offense or defense, the opponent can't stand it, and there is no other way but to double-team. (After Yao Ming gained weight, except for a few BUG-level insiders when attacking, the rest of the opponents will die if they don’t double-team)
"But the shortcomings of type A are obvious. They can't jump high and run fast, and they don't have much advantage in rebounding, so generally this kind of people have better skills."

"Makes sense."

After listening to Qin Yan's explanation, and thinking about it carefully, the rest of the Spurs basically agreed with Qin Yan's statement, as if it was indeed the case.

"Wait, and Zack, what size is he?"

Dior suddenly raised his hand to ask a question, with a "curious baby" look on his face.

"You mean Randolph?" Qin Yan looked Dio up and down, pouted:

"He, like you, is O-shaped..."
