The running position of the small forward is near the 45-degree three-point line, actively running to find the goal opportunity. Generally, there are three situations, one is that the opponent's defense fails to keep up, and then he can make a shot. The second is that the opponent's defense keeps up. At this time, you can choose to rely on technology to shake the central force of defense and make a 45-degree layup. The third is the shooting guard who passes the ball to the bottom corner.

Another common forward position is to pass the ball to the point guard at the top of the arc when the next center has a chance, and then look for another opportunity to attack. From a technical point of view, whether it is dribbling, layup or shooting, the striker is very important. Among the four basic skills of basketball, the forward dribbles first, and dribbling reflects the overall level of a forward.

If the striker dribbles well, he can take the ball from the defender in a simple way and dribble directly, which will destroy the opponent's defense and improve the team's combat effectiveness.

Small forwards should also pay attention to several points when playing. They should have good endurance. No matter which way they play, they must stabilize the situation. Pass the ball quickly and accurately, combine attack and defense, and shoot faster. If the distance is right, they should throw the ball directly without much action.
