In fact, the two-handed chest pass is rarely used in NBA or international basketball. At the beginning, it was because the heights of the players on the court were similar, so this kind of pass was very easy to use. The opponent raised the ball to his chest and passed it. The receiver also held the ball to his chest when receiving it, so it was very comfortable to receive it. And because the ball was passed with two hands, the speed and accuracy were very good. However, with the development of basketball, the heights of the five positions on the court have also changed significantly. This has a big problem. It is very troublesome to pass the ball to players with too much height difference.
