No need for speed or three points, these 5 people rely on low-level footsteps to make a living, and they eat very hard

In today's fast pace and three-pointers, low-post offenses are gradually being on the edge. But those who truly understand the game know that players who can score steadily at low positions are the most reliable choice after the pace of the game is locked down. Low-level singles do not depend on speed or explosion, but on footsteps, rhythm, fake moves, shooting feel and mentality. These five players are the strongest low-post offensive experts in NBA history. The defenders know where he is going, but they still can't stop them.

Fifth place: Kevin McHale

Career data: 17.9 points / 7.3 rebounds / 55.4% from the field

Honors: 3 championships / 7 best teams / The most low-key low-post master in history

McHale is a low-post technical textbook, with all the skills, turning over, making a move, making a move, making a fake move, making a real move. He has no exaggerated physical talent, but he relies on details to play the defender around. He is the most stable ending point in the Celtics' three-game winning streak, with averaging over 26 points per game in one season and a shooting percentage of up to 60%.

4th place: Shaquille O'Neal

Career data: 23.7 points / 10.9 rebounds / 58.2% from the field

Honors: 4 championships / 1 MVP / 3 FMVP

O'Neal's low-post style does not rely on fancy, but on crushing. His "back + turn + dunk" is the most oppressive low-post move in NBA history. In the 2000 finals, he was almost unstoppable in the penalty area. As long as he is given a position, he can squeeze his back and turn around and swing the basket. He made the low post simple and crude, and he couldn't defend.

Third place: Zach Randolph

Career data: 16.6 points / 9.1 rebound / 47.1% from the field

Honor: 2 All-Stars / Grizzlies' "Grinding King Era" core

Randolph is a player with no bounce and no speed, but he wins the world by low posts. He fought with his shoulders, changed rhythm and extremely soft feel, and leaned against the sideline in the penalty area to squeeze his opponent into the basket bit by bit. He doesn't kill you with one move, but uses three or four shaking to force you to make a mistake. His low-post playing style is simple but extremely lethal, and he is a representative of slow-paced basketball.

Second place: Tim Duncan

Career data: 19.0 points / 10.8 rebounds / 50.6% from the shooting percentage

Honors: 5 championships / 2 MVPs / The most stable low-post terminator in history

Duncan never has a hurry to play low-post style. He can play 6 consecutive backs without taking action, just wait for you to grab it. His 45-degree angle hitting, rolling, leaning back, and air-cut contacts are all available, with an extremely low turnover rate. As long as he enters positional warfare, he is the rhythm controller. He is not a show-off player, but he dismantles the defense line as accurately as a surgeon. Low posts are not part of his survival, but the way he rules the game.

No. 1: Hakeem Olajuwon

Career Statistics: 21.8 points / 11.1 rebounds / 3.1 blocks / 51.2% from the field

Honors: 2 championships / 1 MVP / Best inside footsteps in history

Olajuwon is a work of art for low-post offense. His "dream footsteps" have become the most iconic technical move in NBA history. He can not only turn around and open the space, but also make a layup to finish the end; he can also make a fake shot and turn or fallback jump shot. He defended O'Neal alone in the 1995 Finals and defeated Ewing and Robinson in succession, making the entire inside match into a teaching site. He is the only insider who can beat the entire league with a low post, and is also recognized as a low post finisher.
