Basketball drill: 1 against 1 after shallow cut

Requirements:
players must be able to drive and shoot from the 3-point line

Goal: get free
at the forward position and improve scoring ability from that position

Organization:

• attacker 1 receives the pass from 2 after a shallow cut
• and plays 1 against 1 against defender 4
• 2 waits for 2 seconds and runs a shallow cut to the other side of the basket and plays 1 against 1 against 5
• defender counts down aloud as soon as the attacker has the ball in his hands: 23, 22, 21.
• If the ball has not yet touched the ring, the point goes to the defender.
• loser of the 1 against 1 goes to defend
• winner takes the ball and runs outside to the back of the row
• play until the 7 (defender gets a point if he stops the attacker from scoring)

Teaching points:

• first cut to the basket
• then change direction and speed hard to the three-point line
• Ask for the ball on the outside
• face the basket immediately after receiving the ball
• use the front or reverse pivot immediately as a feint
• read in this pivoting movement on which side the defender leaves room (shot, crossover or open step)
• sit deep in the turn
• high speed of action: with a maximum of one feint, unbalance the defender and move to the basket
• Play with full intensity!

Tip:

if the attacker does not read well and always makes only the action he is good at, instruct the defender how to defend it. In this way, the attacker is forced to first look at where the space is and only then make his decision
