There are many stars in the NBA, there are many top superstars who have a skill, and this skill is generally only he himself or only he can play very well, others can only do it even if they imitate and learn, such as: Curry's three-point shot, Durant's jump shot, DeRozan's mid-range shot, Harden's step-back step, etc., these skills are unique in basketball history. With the continuous innovation of the way of playing and many rules, there are still some lost stunts in NBA history, and today we will take a look at the five stunts that are about to disappear.
Fifth, hook hand shooting
Speaking of "hook hand", I believe that the first reaction of many fans is "Abdul-Jabbar", the "sky hook" master will play the hook shot to perfection, the advantage of hook hand projection is: after the inside player holds the ball, he can effectively use one shoulder to separate the defender, create projection space, and effectively avoid the defender's block.
Another hook master is the magician, and after being on the same team with Abdul-Jabbar, the humble magician learned this trick from Abdul-Jabbar**, and at the same time upgraded it and applied it to non-inside positions, forming the small hook we see. After Magic, most of the NBA's forward or guard players have also begun to learn the trick.
In the 80-90 years of the old NBA superstars, will use this technology, compared to the modern NBA, it is a must. Hook shots used to be a must-have scoring weapon on the inside. However, over time, it is rarely seen in today's leaguesThe main reason isThe starting center or power forward has fewer than three rounds of low singles in the game, and is more likely to prefer long-range shooting. As a result, the picture of a hook shot scoring is already very rare in the game.
But there are always some stars who will find the importance of this technique, practice secretly, and attack them unprepared in the game, such as: Jokic, Embiid, Towns, Sabonis Jr. and so on.
Fourth, seal the eyes of the defense
Spoken"Eye-sealing defense".This technique is rarely used in the entire NBA, because it is not a scoring skill, and most players prefer to practice scoring techniques. There's a defensive expert in the NBA, Battier, who is particularly fond of this kind of defensive skill. Battier was particularly fond of using it when defending Kobe, and in the face of Kobe, who shot accurately, this kind of defense was also tried and tested, so it was quickly learned and adopted by other defensive experts, although Kobe Bryant said in the interview that the defensive effect was limited, but in fact, no matter whatAmateur or professional players will be disrupted with their shots when they encounter a blind-eye defense, and it will be very uncomfortable.
The advantage of blindfold defense is that when the ball carrier is holding the ball and preparing to aim at the basket, the defender will put his palm in front of the shooter, and the shooting frame is very uncomfortable, and the real headache is not that it interferes with your aiming, but that it disrupts the shooting rhythm and makes the player feel panicked. NBA shooting trainers once specifically said: Most players can't shoot accurately after being blindfolded, not because they can't see the basket, but out of an instinctive self-preservation, which leads to physical distortion and psychological panic.
3. Shooting in the air seat
When it comes to shooting, in the history of the NBA, there are many shooting masters, but when it comes to recent history, it is undoubtedly the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan, Jordan's shooting skills belong to the master. In the basketball field, it is often heard that "the shooting is picturesque, and Jordan is that picture", Jordan's shooting is not only beautiful, but also more accurate and efficient, but Jordan's "aerial chair shooting" developed on the basis of jump shooting is unbeatable! This shooting posture, sounds unique, looks beautiful, but it is difficult to learn, its biggest advantage is: shooting is easy, effectively protect the player's waist to prolong the career, and at the same time can maximize the shooting space, and the defender has a clear defense, but is unable to prevent helplessness.
There are very few people in the NBA who can shoot in the sky chair, and why? Sitting chairsShooting is more suitable for players to attack on their own, which means that players must have the muscle memory of top standard shooting skills, in other words, they must be players who work the shooter, belong to the top marksman, and the existence of the only gear. Looking at the history of the modern NBA, there are only a handful of masters in shooting, to name two people: Jordan and Curry. Needless to say, after Curry surpassed Ray Allen to become the all-time three-point line, he continued to transform and polish his shooting skills, and after developing mid-range shooting technology in the past two years, he showed the extinct "sky chair shooting" technology in the game.
2. Hit the board and shoot
In NBA history, the shooting has been a skillful and efficient technique that has been loved by many top superstars such as David West, Duncan, Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and many more.
However, in recent years, with the influence of the Magic Ball Theory, the choice of playing board shootingIt is regarded as the most theoretically inefficient way to attack. As a result, more and more superstars are rarely choosing to use the board to shoot.
In fact, there are generally two types of regular jump shots in the NBA, the first oneFixed-point three-point shooting, this kind of scoring was generally regarded as too distant in the past, not very easy, but it was only changed by the Warriors' small-ball style in the past 10 years that it began to prevail; The second, mid-to-long-range jumpers, more precisely mid-range shots near the free-throw line, is also the area where veteran superstars used to like to finish game rounds; In fact, part of the reason why stars like Duncan choose to play board shooting is that they don't need to jump high to shoot on the board, and in short, they don't need to bounce very well, and they are relatively easy to operate; The second point is that the shooting of the board is generally assisted by the black frame on the rebound, which is easier to aim and the projection is fast; The third point, it can be said that few people understand, playing the board and shooting is equivalent to one more chance to shoot, the ball can bounce into the frame after hitting the board, even if it is not directly in, it is possible to stumble into the frame, and compared to direct shooting, it requires very accurate projection technology, either in or not, only those top shooters will be more flexible to use;
With the prevalence of the small ball style, more and more points tend to be scored outside the three-point line and the three-point line, saving the physical strength of players to dig inside, and the score is more, and the offensive efficiency is much higher than that of the board shooting, so it is slowly disappearing.
1. Archery on horseback
This technique is generally the usual killer move of the NBA's top guards, such as: Curry, Rose, Paul, Parker, Nash, etc. Archery on horseback is usually a shooting and scoring technique similar to throwing by a defender who uses the strong momentum of running to adjust his balance in the air with the help of two-foot lunges
In the past NBA games, it was not like today's three-point shooting, many guards had to learn to ride a horse and shoot arrows to score, and there were two advantages: the speed of the shot was fast and could not be blocked, and the running hand was difficult for the defender.
In today's NBA, almost no people use it, after all, it is now a small-ball style, and guards also prefer three-point shooting, because the score is higher than the two-point shot, saving offensive distance. On the other hand, archery on horseback itself is a quick shot during running, and its stability is low, and the hit rate is naturally low. As a result, he gradually faded out of the game, but occasionally using it will still be difficult for the opponent to guard.
