What are good ways to create shots against agreesive defenders?

3 ways that I use...

1. Take 2 steps to the right or left with 2 HARD dribbles, then pull up and shoot a sideways fade away. The defender won't expect the shot but would expect the drive

2. Drive to the basket with 1-2 hard steps, then put ur hand out (the one with the ball) and make it look like ur gunna dribble again, only step back and take a jumper. This ha the same effect as number 1, only driving to the basket and not the side.

3. When u receive the ball from a pass, before you dribble, take one jab step towards the basket (DON'T DRIVBLE) then if he leans back, take the shot.

How I helped!

I'm so glad you asked this question. Usually people ask how to get better but it appears your already good. Well first let tell you I'm a huge Kobe Bryant fans so I know his game by memory. What Kobe Bryant does to score on physical players like Tony Allen and Thabo Sefolosha is he creates space using his footwork and body. These elite defenders are very good on defense but remember "Good Defense, Better Offense". I recommend two moves.

1. Post Up Turnaround fadeaway: This shot deems tough at first but once you get use to it and you become accustomed to it will become very handy. The reason this move is so dominant is because it can't be stopped! It creates so much space that your defender never has time to regain defensive position. Think about it as a free shot. No worry's about being blocked and a clear look at the basket. But here's the twist your fading away from the basket, which is very difficult. But like anything else practice will make it easier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV_ppT8QbW8

2. Pull Up Fadeaway/Jumper:

Again another shot that gets your defender off balance and gives you a clear look at the basket. Lets say your defender is all up on your grill. You penetrate hard towards the basket. You must go full speed! But your not going all the way to the basket! Your just picking a spot so you can elevate for your jumper.

Practice these shots and you will become unstoppable.

Everyone is different. Some things work better for some players than others.

For me, if you have an aggressive defender guarding you, the odds are that he's draping himself all over you. If that's the case then your first and best option is to DRIVE. I often us a spin move to start my drive if he's right on me.

Once you are on the move you become harder to guard. You then have the option of getting off a pass, going in for a layup, or suddenly changing direction to get your shot off.

If you are stuck there, pivoting, turning, trying to find an opening, the active defender is going to eat you for lunch.

IF he's a defender that gives a little space to prevent you from driving, then I use a jab step to open up more space then quickly pull up for a jump shot. Obviously you need to be able to HIT a jump shot in order for this to work.

Recap: Drive if he's all over you, jab step J if he's sagging off. Hope that helps.

There are two ways:

1.) Whisper to a team before play to set a hard pick for you. Ram the defender into that wall and it'll slow him down next time because hes gonna always fear that pick.

2.) Penetrate hard. Even if you don't make the shot, the fact you reached the basket will force him to show you more respect.

People usually play aggressive because they can't shoot a lick so they feel they need to contribute by playing tight D, or they just don't respect your ball handling abilities and feel they can exploit you. Don't give them the sastifaction of the doubt.

I like to post up and shove them back using my arm with one pivot foot going into there space and then you can take a nice clean fadeaway before they can recoupe and get back to you. This is a great thing to do when you're closer to the rim, and many times people foul you in an over aggressive response to the shove (space creation).

Aside from that you can try crossing them over and using pick and rolls, etc. I noticed this is more effective if you're at the 3 pt line and there's someone playing lockdown on you.

Just remember to be quick and know that most people can't keep up if you go in one direction, they'll be to your side with their hands all over your back but don't get scared and just take the floater/layups with confidence and without changing the shot and it'll work very well for you.

Hope you got this.

Hop step, ball fakes, step back fadeaway , post up fadeaway , spin move

I mean against a aggressive defender you just want to be unpredictable make him think your doing one thin then do another most importantly be physical back

Spin move, step back jumper, double cross over, post up pump fake and go under them, pump fake and lean into them to draw foul.

What does this word mean, specifically:

"agreesive"

pump fake and pull up
