포인트 가드 Point Guard

Often called the "leader of the offense" and compared to the quarterback in American football, the point guard is one of the most demanding positions on the basketball court. Playing point guard requires great ball handling skills, good scoring ability, and a thorough understanding of your team's strategy. However, this versatile position also allows you to play a pivotal role on the court by leading the offensive scoring efforts. Being a point guard is hard work, but also one of the most rewarding positions for a basketball player.

Part1

1 Bring in-bounds balls up court. At a very basic level, the point guard is responsible for moving the ball up the court, keeping it in his team's possession, and setting up offensive plays. This means passing the ball to his teammates to start the plays, and, when possible, scoring on his own. The point guard usually gets the ball when it's passed in-bounds at the beginning of an offensive possession. Generally, he'll bring the ball up court to the defense's key, then stay around the perimeter, near the three-point line to set up plays. There are exceptions to this, of course. For instance, if the defense is running a heavy full-court press (that is, they're guarding every offensive player even before they cross the half court line), the point guard may not have the liberty of being able to bring the ball up court all by himself. In this case, he may need to pass it off to a teammate fairly quickly.

2 Keep the ball in your team's possession. As the point guard moves the ball up the court, he'll usually keep dribbling it until a play begins. As he gets closer to the net, he'll come under heavier and heavier pressure from the defense. Usually, by the time he gets to the three-point line, he'll have one man guarding him and will be unable to keep going forward without opening himself up to heavy defensive pressure. As the point guard nears the hoop, he must be careful not to give the defense any chances to steal the ball. Note that it's generally considered a bad idea for the point guard to stop dribbling the ball before he needs to (for instance, at the very start of a play). If the point guard stops dribbling, he can't move again without getting a penalty called on him, which means the defense only needs to guard against him passing or shooting, giving them a much easier job.

3 Make a pass to an open teammate. One of the point guard's most important duties is to make passes to teammates who have a good chance of scoring.[3] In general, if the point guard sees a teammate near the hoop or around the perimeter of the key who isn't being well-defended, he should pass to him so that he'll have an unobstructed shot. A good point guard should have lots of assists at the end of most of his games — these are signs that he's been passing the ball to the right people to rack up his team's score. But you should never force passes.

4 If you're open, go for a jump shot or layup. While it's important for the point guard to set other players up to score points, he shouldn't be any scoring slouch himself. If the point guard sees that all of his teammates are tied up with defenders but there's an opening for him to score, he'll want to be able to attack the hoop by going for a layup or shooting a jump shot. If the defense sees that he can't do these things very well, they may leave him relatively unguarded and concentrate on the other players, making it harder for the team as a whole to score. A point guard with an excellent three-point shot or jump shot is especially valuable. With this ability, he has the potential to score from virtually anywhere around the basket, which means that the defense will almost always have to use a man to guard him. This makes it easier for the other people on the point guard's team to score!
