Description

Practice reading defender cues to beat your defender.

Summary

Move the defender’s lead foot – use a step jab. If she doesn’t move – go!

If she opens up shoot the jumper.

If she changes the lead foot -attack the new lead foot

Displace her – long jab and sweep

Fill the gap – as you go by her step in front, sealing her with your body

Low sweeps will get the defender’s hands down, opening up the jump shot opportunity

Get her moving fast – changing her stance, jumping etc.

Once she is reacting keep her reacting.

As she tries to cut you off change direction.
