How To Finish Over Taller Defenders?
-
Like (0)
I play in my middle-school league. I'm 5'3, which is short, I can shot the lights out in mid-range. I can usually finish layups when its a defender my size or slightly taller, but when i blow past my defender the help side defense which is usually the center or the power forward comes and closes the lane. I've tried tear-dropping it in, but it resulted in airballs and bricks. any advice?
try to give the taller defender a pump fake to get him off his feet then lay it in
you wont be able to use this method everytime bc then the defender will start to catch on to your tricks
drive it at the big man, since your a guard (i think) like eagleballer said u cant have the same move every time or he'll catch on.
try the pump fake, then maybe a pro hop, then drive it at him and kick it out to someone else and restart the play, maybe give the big man a hesitation to shake him up. idk, i'm a guard to. and it helps me rack up the pts and dimes.
Good!!
