I needed this! Pressure defense always seems to get to me in games.

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Awesome! Let us know how it goes the first time you try it!

[@raul76603]

Same here I start trying to do a move that I think is going to work only to get the ball ripped from my hand

[@ajseb]

Same, I could do all the drills in the world, but if I cant apply it during pressure it doesn’t mean anything

[@crippin6587]

[@kray97]

We've been doing this (me and my son). It's a ballbuster. I make sure to foul him/push him/pressure him real good while he's trying dribble the ball up.

[@kadegundy9355]

What are the best ways to improve my footwork?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Slow to master form; then speed to work on going full speed; then with a defense to work on live situations!

[@Zalamita]

I'm fairly new to basketball and have a question... if I have the ball and the defense tries to get it from me, is there a limit on how many defense players can try to hustle the ball from me?

[@charlesetienne8151]

Thank you. I had messed up on that during tryouts i know what to do now

[@DeepGameBasketball]

That's awesome, Charles. How did your tryouts go?

You are very welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@Drabstock]

Great drill. I'm going to use this with some 7th graders next week. If the defense gets a turnover, do they have to stay within lane line to lane line? Same as after touching half court, does the offense then have to stay within the lane lines after that? Thanks in advance.

[@gregllo424]

My tryout is in 3 days. I got a good handle but struggle against pressure up the court. Do you think this drill would benefit in these next 3 days or no?

[@Kaydaralhamdani]

Gregory Llorance jr. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@raygivler]

You may be trying to cut too much. Try driving hard at one angle, lunge stop, and crossover. The above drill will help (look up the "the mirror drill"), but only if you are trying it against a tough defender. I had my players just try to get past each other (same lane width restrictions) as many times as they could in 30 secs, or get as many steals as possible on D. Then switch partners. You get a TON more on-ball reps for both O and D and doing this than most players will ever get in a game (it's like a very compressed 1:1).

[@slime6all484]

As long as you can handle it dont worry about doing the right thing just handle it. This drill will make a difference in 3 days but continue to do it for better results after time it's just experience

[@peytonniklinski406]

In my honest opinion (even though I’m late) it won’t because you need to practice this for at least a month to me in order to master it

[@mix.g0at238]

How can you do this drill by yourself if you have no one to defend you?

[@zayyanzubairi1420]

Can u please make a video on how to improve your clutch gene

[@hish33p32]

There is no video to unlock that, the flow state happens automatically

[@gugi4477]

EGT hi I want to join a team next year so when I am in 7th grade next year im gonna try out

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Great. Good luck and keep working till those tryouts. #EGTFAMILY

[@louisestrada1356]

Isn't it a double dribble if you touch the ball with two hands?

[@re1ence633]

How to shoot it with one hand? I both hands cuz I don’t have no wrist power

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Than you need to get under the ball more.

[@FAKExCrazy]

The pressure defense i got is the defender pushing me with its body and leaving me off balance, is that a foul or is it clean?

[@onecheesyboy694]

If you are standing completely still whether you are holding the ball or dribbling and he pushes your body then it's a blocking foul

[@roastedninja7894]

I always freak out when i get guarded closely

[@christiansheetz5140]

my friend just presses me and only me for no particular reason so that’s why i’m here

Yes, he would of been a beast at this for sure.

[@pistoldigito5158]

Hi, Do you think 6 training per week is too much?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Depends on your conditioning level and if you are in season or out of season.
