The most ambiguous position definition and division of labor on the basketball court is the small forward. But for the tactical system of the team's play, the small forward is the most important part, because the small forward shoulders the heavy responsibility of connecting the inside and outside lines. Even at the level of individual singles, the advantages and importance of small forwards are self-evident. Facing the short perimeter, you can rely on your body to fight alone, while facing the strong interior, you can rely on speed to break through.

Small forwards can also be divided into two types, and they choose to play according to their physical conditions. One is the offensive small forwards with great appreciation, such as McGrady, Pierce, Anthony and Pippen. The other is defensive small forwards, such as Battier, Prince and Artest.

Offensive small forwards should first practice comprehensive offensive techniques. For example, McGrady, who has both a breakthrough and three points, can also cooperate in the skill singles. Such a player is a rare talent in any tactical system. Pierce is proficient in 18 kinds of offensive martial arts: three points, China investment, breakthrough, retreat, backward, and low post defense.

The defensive small forward is going to practice his defensive kung fu. Different from Seiko small forward, defensive skills are mostly the embodiment of hard work and experience. First of all, we should have physical abilities different from ordinary people, such as Hanamichi Sakuragi. Secondly, strong body and defensive awareness are also the most important, such as Artest, Prince and Battier.

Whether defending or attacking, we should practice serving well. Because the small forward and point guard are the five players who are most likely to get free throws on the basketball court. People like McGrady and Kobe Bryant make good free throws.
