players must have the courage to shoot defensively
master open step and crossover step
and master a feint followed by a dribble + shot or drive
Objective:to decide which action to take as a forward in a 1v1 situation
Organisation:
defender passes the ball with a bounce pass to the attacker
and starts defending
Attacker stands within shooting distance
Teaching points:
foot, knee and shoulder in one line
Hands ready to shoot
Knees in an angle of 60 degrees (shot fake) to 90 degrees (drive fake)
Shot fake: ball not higher than the nose + bend the knees a bit
Drive fake: short, quick step + forward movement with the shoulders
Open step: first step is short
Bringing the ball to the other side with sweep/rip: bring the ball below knee height
Decide:
defender has his hands low and/or more than an arm's length away: shoot (quick draw)
Defender has his hand on the ball: driven directly (preferably over the front foot / along the back of the defender)
make one fake at the most. Read the defender's reaction during your fake.
If the defender does not react, continue the move (fake shot becomes shot, fake drive becomes drive).
if the defender reacts, take the other option, i.e.: fake shot becomes drive; fake drive becomes shot; open step becomes rip + crossover step; crossover step becomes rip + open step
do NOT introduce an element of competition here, to prevent defenders from making hard mistakes to avoid losing
Variations:
instruct the defender to only defend the drive hard and leave space for the shot
