This exercise sounds simple but it certainly is not:
- The idea is for the player with the ball to get past a 100% giving defender in 3 dribbles.
- The scoring player stays put, misses then goes out and the defender may attack against a new person.
- The goal is for the player to give everything during this exercise.
- Here the attacker is forced to be explosive and use his whole body.
- Prior to the exercise, we first stretch and run a suicide.
- The ball is in the middle.
- Two persons run backwards on the starting signal to the back line, then first to get hold of the ball on the middle line.
- A 1-on-1 situation then arises here in which the person with the ball attacks and the other must defend.
4-4
- Attacker with ball may not put a foot in the Bucket.
- Attacker may only shoot 3-pointers when free.
- 1 point for foot in the Bucket and 1 point if 3-point shot hits the hoop.
- After 20 seconds, interception or point of attackers switch attack-defense.
See the diagram below.
- Depending on the number of players on your team, make three or four lines along the baseline and the same number of lines just above the free throw line.
- Each player along the baseline has a ball and goes to the perimeter player.
- First 3 quarters: sprint
- Last quarter: slides - 1 hand high for defending the shot
Finish high dribble so force towards baseline.
- 2 players start at the head of the paint.
- Between them is a chair with a ball.
- They first sprint to the baseline, the first to the ball may attack in the paint.
- Continues until there is a score.
Players will stand offense and defense, facing each other on the three-point line.
- Then an alternating 1 vs 1 situation is started.
- Offense is going to provoke the defense through jab steps, pump fakes and other feints.
- Only when the defender steps on the wrong leg, steps up from his defense before the shot or when there is no reaction, a shot may be fired/passed to score.
The goal of the exercise is to read your defense better and not to lose your triple threat by dribbling immediately.
- Players distribute to the bucket.
- Opposite them will be defenders.
- Attackers are going to take care of 8 to 10 passes -straight- while defense tries to get in between.
- Attackers are allowed to make in outs but no screens. So they really stay on their own position.
- The attacker with the ball is allowed to make 1 dribble to get the ball to his teammate and make a good pass.
- After 8 to 10 well-crafted passes there is a scoring attempt after which offense and defense will switch.
- Start with 3 on the 123 spots.
- Ball is on the 1.
- Read and react to own option.
- Later add 2 defenders, ball at defender mat pass to attackers.
- For delay, attackers must have passed 1 first.
5 attackers and 5 defenders.
- Defenders stand as a zone and start communicating where the ball is and who has the ball.
- Player opposite the ball makes a closeout, the rest move so that they are in the direct pass line or are a good help side.
- Attackers may take 1 step to pass and overhead passes are allowed.
This drill is really about communication.
After 10/15 passes, a shot may be attempted and communication is also important here.
SHOT must be called so that a good boxing out occurs.
