“得内线者,得天下。”中锋作为场上惟一的一名专职“篮下守望者”,自然成为篮球战术中最基本的力量。NBA创始之初,最著名的球星就是明尼阿波利斯湖人队的中锋乔治·迈坎。由于规则不甚完备合理,当时的打法和技战术过于简单,只不过是把球吊给这位当时可以“一览众山小”的大个子,由他在别人达不到的高度完成进攻。此时的中锋仅仅停留在单纯利用身高的“远古中锋时代”。与他同时代的著名中锋还有其队友米克尔森和费城勇士队的约翰斯顿。 “Insider who have the world.” The center as the only full-time “basket watchman” on the field, of course, become the most basic basketball tactics strength. At the beginning of the NBA, the best-known player was center George Minack of the Minneapolis Lakers. As the rules were not quite sound and reasonable, the techniques and tactics at that time were too simplistic. They merely hoisted the ball to the man who could “see the small hills” at that time and completed the attack at a height not reached by others. The center at this time only stay in the pure use of height “ancient center era.” Well-known centers of his time include his team-mate Mickelson and Johnston of the Philadelphia Warriors.
