跑法总览Action overview

先看四角延误如何完整运转See how the Four Corners Delay flows end to end

队员占据半场最宽的几个角，最稳的持球人在中路控制节奏；防守上抢就走后门，协防收缩就突破分球。目标是领先时消耗时间，同时始终保留真实的得分威胁。Players occupy the widest spots on the floor while the best handler controls the middle. Any overplay is punished with a backdoor cut and any collapse opens a drive-and-kick, burning clock while keeping a live scoring threat.

防守怎么守How it is guarded

怎么防守四角延误？How do you defend the Four Corners Delay?

每一种守法都要放弃一点东西，问题只是放弃哪一点。下面是常见的几种，以及它们各自留下的口子。Every coverage gives something up; the only question is what. These are the common ones and the opening each of them leaves.

上抢造犯规Pressure and foul

落后一方全场压迫持球人，主动犯规把比赛送上罚球线，用犯规换回合。The trailing team pressures the ball everywhere and fouls on purpose, trading fouls for possessions.

进攻怎么打：What beats it: 把球放在罚球最稳的人手上，这是四角延误唯一真正重要的一条规则。其余四人拉到最远，让夹击必须跑很长的距离。Put the ball in the hands of the best free-throw shooter. That is the only rule in a delay game that really matters. The other four spread as far as the floor allows, so any trap has a long way to run.

贴防所有接应点Deny every outlet

不夹击持球人，改为全面切断传球路线，逼他一个人运到进攻时限结束。Instead of trapping, the defence denies every passing lane and leaves the handler to dribble out the clock alone.

进攻怎么打：What beats it: 全场贴防的背后就是空篮。四角延误从来不是纯粹拖时间——防守一旦贴出来，反跑上篮就是这套站位准备好的答案。Denying everywhere leaves the rim empty. A delay game is not only about burning clock: the backdoor layup is the answer the alignment has been holding in reserve.

退守等时限Sit back and wait

不压迫，全员退守禁区，让对方安静地耗时间，赌一次进攻时限违例或一次仓促出手。No pressure at all: everyone retreats to the paint, lets the clock run quietly, and waits for a shot-clock violation or a rushed attempt.

进攻怎么打：What beats it: 现代规则下这是防守能做的最坏选择，因为有进攻时限，拖延本身有上限。既然对方退了，就在时限走完之前打一次干净的挡拆，得分比拖时间更值钱。Under a shot clock this is the worst thing a defence can do, because the delay has a ceiling anyway. If they retreat, run one clean ball screen before the clock expires: points are worth more than seconds.

容易混淆的动作Often confused with

四角延误和哪些动作容易混？What is the Four Corners Delay often confused with?

下面这些动作和它长得像，但解决的问题不同。每一条只说那个决定性的区别。These look like it and solve a different problem. Each entry names the one difference that decides which is which.

四角延误 vs 外线动态进攻Four Corners Delay vs Out Motion

站位几乎一样，目的完全不同。全外线动态进攻用这个间距去攻击篮筐，四角延误用同样的间距去消耗时间。防守读的也是这个差别：前者要守突破，后者要守时钟。The alignment is nearly identical and the purpose is not. Five-out motion uses the spacing to attack the rim; four corners uses the same spacing to spend time. The defence reads that difference too: one has to guard the drive, the other has to guard the clock.

四角延误 vs 全场破紧逼Four Corners Delay vs Press Break

进攻时限改变了这两者的分量。四角延误诞生在大学篮球还没有进攻时限的年代，那时可以拿着球耗掉半场的最后几分钟；现在它一次最多拖二十几秒，只有在最后两分钟、而且罚球够稳的阵容手里才有意义。破紧逼没有这个上限——只要对手还敢压，每一场都用得上。The shot clock changed what each of these is worth. Four corners comes from a college game with no shot clock, where a team could hold the ball through the last minutes of a half. Today it buys twenty-odd seconds at a time and only earns its place in the last two minutes, with a lineup that can shoot free throws. A press break has no such ceiling: it is needed in every game an opponent is willing to press.
