Basketball drill: forward 3 options quarter field

Requirements:players must be able to run a lay up from a bounce pass

Goal: To learnhow to create scoring opportunities for yourself as a forward

Organization:

The helpline is out: this allows you to play with two foursomes on one basket and forces players to not use the space where in the game the help is.

• Make it, take it and play to the 5.
• guard dribbles up from the center circle
• at the same time 2 makes a V-cut
• if defender 4 overplays, then extend the V-cut to at least one meter
• above the three-point line and sprint backwards for the backdoor pass.
• if the back pass is not possible because defender 4 stays between the ball and 2
• then 1 dribbles to the wing
• and posts 2 at the block
• gets the ball via a bouce pass from the wing
• and plays 1 against 1
• when defender 4 doesn't pass, 1 passes to 2
• 2 makes one feint and goes hard to the basket

All score from:

• back by
• 1 against 1 from the wing
• 1 against 1 from the block

Mtm offense

If 2 fails to pass, 2 sprints to the center circle and receives the pass from 1. The cycle then starts all over again, but now with 1 at the forward position.

Teaching Points:

• if you can see your defender's shoulder in the passing line at the V-cut, it is a replay
• and you have to take the defender at least one meter above the three-point line towards the sideline.
• print at full speed when your back passes
• the back through pass is mostly one-handed, from the dribble with a flat bounce
• when posting up, first take the defender into the bucket, turn 180 degrees (pin & spin) and land with a hop on the block (both feet outside the bucket line)
