The Correct Way to Handle Larger Players: Learn These 3 Points, Tall Players Will No Longer Be Blocked

When facing a player with superior physical attributes and height compared to oneself, going head-to-head is not a smart strategy. Coach Tie is here to introduce three under-the-basket attack tricks, using offensive routines to make scoring simpler.



Mini Hook Shot


The key action is to keep the ball high, which can increase the speed of the pass, and not leave space for the defender to jump and block.



The hook shot action should be fluid, with the arms extending upwards, maintaining a balanced body center of gravity, using wrist strength to push the ball out, and the non-shooting hand should perform a protective ball action.

Pay attention to raising the shooting hand on the same side, with the other hand forming effective protection for the ball, even if the hook shot does not go in, it is very likely to cause fouls.



Same-Hand, Same-Foot


In regular time, we will use the three-step layup, which is the ideal offensive, it is difficult to encounter in actual combat with defensive pressure.



Therefore, we can use the same-hand, same-foot layup to create a 'time difference' for ourselves, pay attention to tilting the upper body slightly towards the basket after jumping, actively create physical contact, instead of causing the body to back up to avoid the block.


Same-Hand, Same-Foot layup requires strong body coordination, if done improperly, it may lead to basic mistakes, so we must practice more, and then use it confidently in the game, instead of feeling abrupt.

Physical Contact


Physical contact is not to collide with the opponent head-on, but to use the body to create space for the attack, and to learn to reasonably use body combat, which is a compulsory course in basketball combat.



Mainly protect the basketball, and extend the foot closer to the basket, so that the defender cannot rush over, vertical jump attack the basket, cannot back up! Cannot back up! Cannot back up! Important thing said three times, back up plus the defensive pressure of the opponent, after causing the shot to deform, hit the iron.



Remember the key to this action: first find physical contact, then shoot, even if the shot does not go in, the probability of causing the opponent to commit fouls is also very high.
