Shootingguard (English: Shooting Guard): Generally, the players who hold this position have very high requirements for physical fitness and psychological quality, and they have advantages in speed and explosiveness. They are often played by the players with the strongest scoring ability in the team, and the style of play is very comprehensive.

3. Center: Generally, it is played by the tallest player in the team. Traditionally, it emphasizes the defense under the basket and the protection of defensive rebounds.

4. SmallForward: the most fundamental requirement is to score, and it is a long-distance score. In attack, the small forward can strike a balance between strength confrontation and shooting score, and in defense, the small forward is usually responsible for stealing and rebounding.
