BASIC SKILLS

You can observe the basic skills showed by the players in the game between USA vs Serbia. Those basic skills are:

Dribbling

Dribbling is an important skill for all basketball players. This skill will allow you to move up and down the court, maneuver past defenders and execute plays. Proper dribbling requires ball-handling skills and knowledge of how to spread your fingers for ball control. It is also best if you know how to dribble equally well with both hands.

Shooting

In order to score points in basketball, you need to shoot the ball into the hoop. This requires the ability to properly hold and throw the ball into the air toward the basket while avoiding defenders. A proper shot requires precise aiming, arm extension and lift from the legs. There are different types of shots you need to learn, including jump shots, layups and free throws.

Running

Running is a big part of basketball. In a full-court game, you will find yourself running back and forth as the game quickly transitions between offense and defense. When you have the ball, running will help you to avoid defenders and get to the basket quicker. On defense, you often will find yourself needing to run after the opponent, especially during fast breaks.

Passing

Passing is another skill that when mastered can help you become a complete basketball player. Basketball is a team sport that involves finding a teammate who is open for a shot. The ability to pass the ball to this player can make the difference between scoring and not scoring. Really great passers are an important part of a basketball team and usually the ones who set up scoring plays.

Jumping

Jumping is another skill that can define how good a basketball player is. Jumping is involved in offense during the jump ball in the beginning, while taking shots and sometimes while trying to catch a pass. On defensive you will need the ability to jump when trying to block a shot or a pass. Being able to out jump your opponent for a rebound also is important.

TECHNICAL & TACTICAL SKILLS

From what I observed from the game, each of the player showcased their technical skills through their body movement competency, passing and receiving mastery, dribbling adroitness, shooting and rebounding skills, offensive and defensive ability. Most people only see the result of their hardwork through their technical skill. They don’t have knowledge on how hard each player worked for it each day. Blood, swear, tears and breakdowns were encountered by different players before arriving the different technical skills they have shown in the game. While a player has a technical skill, they also have tactical skill that helped both team manifest good transition of the play. Each team had different tactical skills depending on the situation and plays being shown by the opposing team. From what I have observed, USA showcased such tactical plays that help them beat Serbia such as having offense plays like handover, backdoor cut, 2 man play, 2 man game, Open play, and mostly shown tactical skill of the team USA is Man-screen roll over. The Serbia also showcased these tactical skills however, the USA did it better and executed it well. USA also had tactical skills in their defense like man to man defense and half-court press,1-3-1, switch and box defense. Both teams showed their different tactical and technical skills to have a smooth transition offense and defense.

RULES OF THE GAME

Rules for the Offense

The player must bounce, or dribble, the ball with one hand while moving both feet. If, at any time, both hands touch the ball or the player stops dribbling, the player must only move one foot. The foot that is stationary is called the pivot foot.

2) The basketball player can only take one turn at dribbling. In other words, once a player has stopped dribbling they cannot start another dribble. A player who starts dribbling again is called for a double-dribbling violation and looses the basketball to the other team. A player can only start another dribble after another player from either team touches or gains control of the basketball. This is usually after a shot or pass.

3) The ball must stay in bounds. If the offensive team looses the ball out of bounds the other team gets control of the basketball.

4) The players hand must be on top of the ball while dribbling. If they touch the bottom of the basketball while dribbling and continue to dribble this is called carrying the ball and the player will lose the ball to the other team.

5) Once the offensive team crosses half court, they may not go back into the backcourt. This is called a backcourt violation. If the defensive team knocks the ball into the backcourt, then the offensive team can recover the ball legally.

Rules of the Defense

.The main rule for the defensive player is not to foul. A foul is described as gaining an unfair advantage through physical contact. There is some interpretation that has to be made by the referee, but, in general, the defensive player may not touch the offensive player in a way that causes the offensive player to lose the ball or miss a shot.

Rules for Everyone

1) Although the foul rule is described above as a defensive rule, it applies exactly the same to all players on the court including offensive players.

2) Basketball players cannot kick the ball or hit it with their fist.

3) No player can touch the basketball while it is traveling downward towards the basket or if it is on the rim. This is called goaltending. (touching the ball on the rim is legal in some games).

OFFICIATING THE SPORT

The game between the USA vs Serbia was officiated by different officiating officials such as crew chief, referee, statistician, chairperson, scorer, assistant scorer, timekeeper and 24-second shot clock operator. The different officiating officials has different roles in officiating the game.

Crew Chief - The head official in basketball who is responsible for making the final decision of the game.

Referee - enforces the rules of the game and determines when a violation. or foul occurs and then stopping the game to issue the correct penalty. 

Statistician - Records all the aspect of the game which is now usually done on a computer, tablet or smartphone or manually with a paper template.

Chairperson - Ensure the smooth operation on the scoretable and communicates with the referees.

Scorer - Completes the scoresheet

Assistant scorer - Assist with operating the scoreboard.

Timekeeper - Operate the game clock and in most situations also operate the scoreboard.

24-second shot clock operator - Operate the shot clock by stopping and resetting according to the rules.

OVERALL ANALYSIS OF THE GAME

The USA blew out Serbia with the score 96–66. The USA dominated the game consisting of mostly all star NBA players such as Kevin Durant, Demar DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and Harrison Barnes. Both teams had shooting percentage with 48% consisting the team USA of 53.6% 2 points FG, 37.6% 3 points FG, 74.6 Free-throws while the team Serbia had 54.5% 2 points FG, 35.7 3 points FG and 77.7% Free-throws. Talking about the rebounds, team USA had 29 defensive rebounds and 16 offensive rebounds having a total of 44 rebounds while the team Serbia had 25 defensive rebounds and 11 offensive rebounds having a total of 36 rebounds. The team USA had 20.7% points from turnover, 19.6 fast break points, 19.1 second chance points, 39.4 % points in the paint and a 27.3 biggest lead. On the other hand, team Serbia had 16.9% points from turnover, 14.1 fast break points, 10.4 second chance points, 38.9 % points in the paint and a 19.1 biggest lead. The USA vs Serbia manifested an adequate good skills, team tactics and techniques, however in every game there will always be a loser or winner which the USA entitled the success while the Serbia had a downfall because of losing the game, but people where not discourage with the result for the Serbian played their hearts out and fought for their country’s name and showed their true love and passion in basketball.

明星賽的四大遺珠：Devin Booker 居然無法入選！？

作者：Hung Ku

在美國時間禮拜四晚上，明星賽的替補名單公布後，不免俗地必須來討論討論那些遺珠之憾，被排除在明星賽之外的球員。不過在球迷們開始感到憤怒之前，不妨讓我們先看看今年NBA全明星賽的先發替補名單，再來做後續的討論。

東區先發球員：

Giannis Antetokounmp、Pascal Siakam、Trae Young、Joel Embiid、Kemba Walker

替補球員：

Jimmy Butler、Ben Simmons、Kyle Lowry、Khris Middleton、Bam Adebayo、Jayson Tatum、Domantas Sabonis

西區先發球員：

LeBron James、Luka Doncic、Anthony Davis、James Harden、Kawhi Leonard

替補球員：

Russell Westbrook、Chris Paul、Damian Lillard、Nikola Jokic、Donovan Mitchell、Brandon Ingram、Rudy Gobert

看完名單之後，這篇文章主要來聊聊今年度筆者覺得的四大遺珠，這四人真的都值得一席明星賽的肯定。

遺珠第一名：Devin Booker

場均27.1分全聯盟第八，外帶51.0％的投籃命中率，36.8％的三分命中率，真實命中率高達63.4％。本季Devin Booker在得分端真的是集效率和得分量於一身，不管是命中率還是得分量都無可挑剔。在場均27.1分的情況下，真實命中率還能排在所有場均出賽時間超過15分鐘的後衛中第4，真的很難在今年Booker的進攻表現上找到可以指責的地方。不論從傳統數據還是進階數據來看，Booker都值得明星賽的肯定，他本季的進攻表現覺得是聯盟最頂尖的那群，沒入選明星賽實在說不過去。更何況他場均還能有6.4個助攻，並不是只會得分而已，雖然太陽戰績並不好看，但因為這樣抹煞了Booker���明星賽的機會著實可惜。不論是看命中率還是場均得分，Booker就算用最嚴格的放大鏡去檢視他的數據也挑不出太大的毛病，今年明星賽的最大遺珠絕非Booker莫屬。

延伸閱讀： 孤絕的太陽王：Devin Booker 例行賽顛峰時刻 Top 7

I’ve played with and against multiple All-Stars in this league and Devin Booker is undoubtedly an NBA All Star.

（我在這聯盟和許多明星球員交手過，我很肯定 Devin Booker 無疑是 NBA 的全明星）

面對手下愛將Booker落選明星賽，太陽總管James Jones是這樣說的，我想這句話為Booker這次的落選下了最好的註解。

遺珠第二名：Bradley Beal

場均28.7分4.5籃板6.4助攻，大概任誰也想不到每場都能繳出這樣的數據居然會落選明星賽吧？但這樣的情形，正巧發生在本段的主角Bradley Beal身上。在全明星隊友John Wall受傷後，Beal一人扛起了整個巫師的進攻端，儘管戰績並不好看，但他還是帶領巫師打出了華麗的進攻球風。本季巫師場均能砍下115.7分，很大一部分必須歸功於Beal的個人能力。不過，比起Booker，Beal的得分雖然略高一些，但整體命中率就不如Booker那麼優秀，不過45.3％的命中率也是明星級的了，配上他場均21.5次的出手以及華盛頓給予他的支援，命中率絕對不能是阻擋他進明星賽的理由。場均得分聯盟第六不能進明星賽實在令人詫異，畢竟在進攻端Beal今年也是聯盟數一數二的，雖然三分命中率32.5％可���令人詬病，但考量到他所扛下的進攻壓力，這應該是可以被諒解的。使用率(USG％)32.3％高居聯盟第六，Beal本季一在證明他就是華盛頓一哥的實力，未能入選明星賽，令人為其感到遺憾。

A little pissed off about it ... It's disrespectful. But the real ones know. I'm gonna try and get my team in the playoffs for sure.

（我有點不爽…這是對我的不尊重，但懂的人就會懂吧。我會將著這股怨氣將我的球隊帶進季後賽。）

Beal在對上夏洛特黃蜂比賽賽後接受記者訪問時，表達了自己對這次沒有入選明星賽的不滿。不過他也提到，他會試圖讓巫師進入季後賽。已經繳出頂級表現的Beal，沒有入選明星賽某方面來說的確是聯盟對他的一種不尊重。

遺珠第三名：DeMar DeRozan

本季DeMar DeRozan將籃球之神Michael Jordan的紀錄往上堆高，創下了後衛連續場次得分超過20分並且命中率在50%以上的紀錄，同時綜觀NBA歷史，也僅有上古神獸Wilt Chamberlain的連續場次比他高而已(DeRozan 13場、Chamberlain19場)。並且他是目前聯盟裡唯二場均能繳出20分5籃板5助攻以上，命中率還能維持50％以上的球員。30歲的DeRozan將自己的表現晉升到了下一個層級，改以高效率的方式帶領馬刺這支老牌勁旅挑戰季後賽。一月份手感火燙的他場均能以56.1％的命中率砍下26.9分，同時還保有6.6個籃板和5.7次助攻這樣的全能數據。以他今年高效率和全能的表現來看，絕對值得重返明星賽的舞台。

延伸閱讀：「蛻鱗重生的漂泊龍王」DeMar DeRozan例行賽 Top 5+1

I don’t base my career off of All-Star games any more...Definitely want to be a part of it, but you can’t go out there and force yourself to be in there....I had the honor to start in a couple, be selected in a couple. Some (players) don’t even get that.

我不以有沒有進明星賽來斷定我的生涯...當然我是很想參加，但你不可能強迫別人讓你打明星賽...我曾有過榮幸擔綱明星賽先發幾次、也入選替補幾次。有些人甚至連這個機會都沒有。

對於沒有入選明星賽，DeRozan展現了他成熟的個性。年齡已經邁入30大觀的他或許已經沒有把明星賽是否入選看得那麼重要，如今更佔據他腦海的，應該是如何帶領聖安東尼奧重返西區八強的行列吧。

遺珠第四名：Zach LaVine

上一季迎來生涯突破性成長的LaVine在這季將自己的表現再次拉到了新的高度，場均得分終於突破25.1分大關，命中率和三分命中率也維持在44.0％以及38.0％的高水準，今年他的表現的確值得生涯第一次明星賽的肯定，不過從球場表現看來，LaVine今年整體來說其實是退步的。LaVine今年的命中率比起去年是退步的，同時助攻減少，失誤也增多了。就比賽內容來看，去年明星賽後LaVine在Boylen教練團的限制下，比較懂得閱讀防守，更能和球隊串聯進攻。去年下半季在球隊將其關機之前，LaVine場均甚至能繳出26.7分5.4籃板5.0助攻外帶48.7％命中率和46.4％的三分命中率這種頂尖表現。照理來說，經過一個夏天的磨練，LaVine的整體表現應該是更為優秀的，畢竟他去年下半季已經證明過自己的明星水準，以這個為前提下，去檢視LaVine今年的表現不免會有些失望。不過綜觀整體表現，LaVine仍然值得明星賽的肯定，但遺憾最終他並不能在家鄉父老，芝加哥的球迷面前一展風采。

尋尋覓覓，原來 Jordan Clarkson 就是爵士要的「那個男人」

I’ve been in the NBA for six years, been able to get some votes for the last two to three. Before my knee injury, I got some votes. It’s all I really know, so I don’t really have any comments on [the process] because it’s just what you grew up in.

我在這聯盟打六年了，最近兩三年都很榮幸拿到不少選票。在我膝傷之前，我也拿到了不少支持。這就是我所知的，所以我並沒有什麼要評論的，這就是成長必經之路。

對於明星賽的票選，LaVine並沒有多加批評。不過，給予芝加哥球迷希望的是，LaVine個人很期待獲得三分球大賽的邀請，另外在老對手Aaron Gordon確定參加灌籃大賽的前提下，也大大增加了他今年參賽的機率。或許我們可以期待，LaVine在明星賽的其他項目上讓球迷的眼睛為之一亮。

筆者個人觀點：

首先，筆者認為那些入選明星賽的球員都是實至名歸，他們的表現也都值得明星賽��圍的肯定，如果把名單任何人撤換掉，也肯定會成為遺珠。入選明星賽每個人標準真的不一樣，真的是個人觀點的問題，永遠都不會有一份令所有人滿意的名單。不過從這次的明星賽替補名單還是可以看出一些端倪，今年名單很明顯所屬球隊戰績考量非常重，聯盟排名前十的球隊就有七支有兩位明星入選，入選資格比較為人質疑的Adebayo、Tatum、Lowry都在此列，個人認為球隊戰績取向在這次明星賽名單的選擇上站非常大的比重，不然實在沒道理繳出個人頂尖表現的Booker和Beal會失去明星賽的舞台。
