Blog Post: Scoring Made Simple - 3 Easy and Effective Shots to Practice
Moves on the Move
In order to break down a defender on the move, we encourage all players to develop a go-to move and counter move. Consider the following points as well:
1. Maintain a speed of 80 mph (80%).
2. Attack the defense right between their eyes. Go right at them!
3. Make your move a stride or two away and attack the defender’s outside shoulder at 100 mph (full speed).
4. Finally, close the gap once you get by them.
5. Be sure to practice these moves on both sides of the floor!!!
Inside-Out Move
If you are dribbling with your right hand, step laterally (to the left) with your inside foot and then return to the outside as quickly as possible. Do not change hands with the dribble. However, learn to sell the defender with an inside-out dribble to compliment your inside-out footwork. Master this from both sides.
Crossover Move
If you are dribbling with your right hand, plant your right foot and quickly cross the ball over to your left hand. When you get by the defender, keep a very low dribble and close the gap. Learn to do this tight and compact with both hands.
Hesitation Move
Dribble right at the defender, then slow down with a quiet stutter and momentarily begin to rise up, as soon as the defender freezes or becomes off balance, explode past him. Push the ball out in front with a low dribble.
Between the Legs Move
Same as the crossover, but dribble the ball between your legs.
Create
Without over dribbling, challenge your creativity on the move. This could be around the back or a combo of other moves. Don't be afraid to make a mistake!
