Basketball is a big ball game full of passion and confrontation. In today's small ball era, the frenzy of various attacks is sweeping the entire court. The projection distance is getting farther and farther, which also puts forward higher requirements for defenders. In this field, which advocates attack, to become a strong defender requires not only excellent physical quality and good speed, but also firm defensive belief. Although there are many players in active service who claim to be excellent defenders, there are few players who are really showing crushing dominance on the defensive end. Next, let's explore the real defensive heroes among NBA players in active service.
Ninth, Wiggins
Wiggins' static talent is quite outstanding. He has a height of 2.01 meters, an arm span of 2.13 meters, and a weight of 89kg. This physical condition gives him a unique advantage on the basketball court. Wiggins' height and arm span enable him to cover a large area on the defensive end, effectively interfering with the opponent's shooting and passing. At the same time, his weight also ensures that he will not be easily pushed away by the opponent in the confrontation, and maintains the stability of defense. The healthy Wiggins did not lose the battle against James.
No. 8, Butler
As the soul of the Heat, Butler's toughness on the defensive side needs no more words. Butler, despite his ordinary static talent, has a strong enthusiasm, aggression and accurate prediction on the defensive side. He can always make a deadly tackle at a critical moment. It was his outstanding performance on the defensive side that made Butler gradually become the leader of the team, and he has been selected as the best defensive second team for five times in his career so far.
Seventh, Vanderbilt.
His height is 2.03 meters, and his arm span reaches an astonishing 2.16 meters. As an elite forward, Van der Biao has demonstrated amazing strength on the defensive side by virtue of his unique physical condition. Both his quick reaction speed and excellent height and arm span make him a nightmare for his opponent in attack. Vanderbilt's defensive area can almost cover from the first position to the fifth position, becoming a defensive puzzle that many championship teams dream of. Unfortunately, this season in the Lakers, Van der Biao has been in the recovery stage. If he is present, maybe Gordon and Porter will be marked, and the pressure of Shumei and James will be reduced.
Sixth, Paul George.
As the leading defensive player in the front line position of the league, George has a height of 2.03 meters and an arm span of 2.15 meters, which gives him an advantage in defense. He can not only interfere with the opponent's shooting on the outside, but also block the opponent's layup on the inside. Although it is sometimes called "the essence of human background plate", it just proves the importance of him on the defensive side, and he is often entrusted with the task of defending the top attacker of the other side.
The fifth is the letter brother.
As a superstar who can win the award of the best defensive player, it is enough to prove that Brother Alphabet is strong in defense. The height of 2.11 meters, the arm span of 2.24 meters, and the extremely strong mobility make Brother Alphabet an insurmountable defensive barrier for opponents. He has a huge defensive coverage, making it difficult for opponents to score under his defense. At the same time, his strong physical quality also makes him no inferior in the internal confrontation, saying that he is a top defensive player in active service, and no one will oppose him.
Fourth, Leonard.
He is known as the best perimeter defender in the history of the league, and has won the award of the best defensive player twice, which is enough to prove his excellent defensive strength. With a height of 2.01 meters, an arm span of 2.21 meters, a strong body, and a pair of scary hands, Leonard has become a formidable defender for countless football stars. His "death wound" defense against James in the finals is still a classic picture in the history of the league. Leonard, with his excellent defense, helped the team win key games for many times and became a well deserved defensive master. However, due to injury, Leonard is always unable to show his strength in the playoffs, which more or less makes many fans regret, and also reduces his influence in the league.
Third, Wenbanyama
As an interior line with a height of 2.24 meters, an arm span of 2.44 meters and a strong moving speed, Wenbanyama's talent in defense is too outstanding. At the defensive end, his height and arm span enable him to cover a larger defensive area, effectively interfere with the opponent's shooting and passing, and provide a solid defense guarantee for the team. In the rookie season, he ranked second in the DPOY list, enough to see his horror on the defensive side.
No. 2, Goebbels
Gobel has a height of 2.16 meters and an arm span of 2.36 meters, which gives him a unique advantage in defense. He can easily interfere with the opponent's shooting, block the opponent's attack, and protect the restricted area under the basket. In addition, his moving speed is also very excellent, and he can quickly move to the opponent's attacking route to form an effective defense.
In addition to the advantage of height and arm span, Goebbels also has a fast moving speed. This allows him to quickly move from one side of the basket to the other side to make up and defend the opponent's attack in time. His fast moving ability makes him more flexible on the defensive end, covering a wide area!
First, Anthony Davis.
With a height of 2.08 meters and an amazing arm span of 2.27 meters, Nong Mei is almost omnipotent on the defensive end. Davis, with his excellent arm span, can easily block the opponent's layup and occupy an absolute advantage in rebounding. He is a player who can build the team's defense system with his own strength, and his existence provides an important guarantee for the team to win in high-level games.
These nine strong defenders are undoubtedly the best players in the NBA. With their excellent defensive strength, they made great contributions to the team's victory.
