What is a block in basketball?

Updated

on

A block in basketball is one of those moments that can really turn the tide in a game. A great reason to visit 1x Bet is to be able to wager on these kinds of occurrences too.

Now, imagine that a player is diving to the basket. He thinks he has a clear shot, only for a defender to take the ball away at the last second. That’s a block, and it’s a move that can send the crowd into a frenzy. A good reason to become a member of the platform 1xBet is to visit it to wager on these kinds of occurrences on basketball matches.

How do blocks work

Blocks are all about 2 things: timing and athleticism. The defender has to anticipate the shot, get off the ground quickly, and extend their arms to meet the ball at its highest point. It’s not just about being tall, though that certainly helps; it’s also about positioning and understanding when the shooter is likely to release the ball. The best Kenya casino is available from the 1xBet platform, and here you can make great wagers prior to the next big basketball match.

Some players have made blocking shots their signature move. Take Hakeem Olajuwon, for example. This guy is a legend in the NBA, and one of the reasons is that he racked up a jaw-dropping 3,830 blocks in his career. Before the next NBA match, the best casino from 1xBet Kenya is waiting for you.

That’s the most in NBA history. Imagine swatting away nearly 4,000 shots over your career. That’s certainly mind-boggling.

A match-changing moment

On average, a really good shot-blocker in the NBA might get around 2 to 3 blocks per game. But there are those games when a player just goes off. For instance, Elmore Smith set the record for most blocks in a single NBA game with 17. That’s almost like having a personal wall in front of the basket. There is all live basketball that can be wagered at the 1xBet platform, and here the best NBA matches can be wagered.

Blocks aren’t just about stopping points; they can change the momentum of a game. A well-timed block can do 3 things:

  • energize the defense;
  • demoralize the opposing offense;
  • and even lead to fast breaks and easy points on the other end.

Coaches love players who can block shots because it’s like having a safety net when the defense breaks down.

In the 2022-2023 NBA season, the average number of blocks per game across the league was around 5.2. That might not sound like a lot, but each one is a potential game-changer. A player like Jaren Jackson Jr., who led the league with an average of 3.0 blocks per game, shows how crucial this stat can be. Visit now the all basketball section from 1xBet, where you will also be able to wager in live mode on the best blockers from the great world of this sport.
