The Best Tool to Handle Pressure & Aggressive Defenders 🔬

This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get. And it's a tough concept: how do we deal with overaggressive defenders pressuring us? Here's how we train it.

"I'm a master at that fake defense" got me man ahahahah

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

I’m really a dummy defense legend 😂

[@StreetballStrategies]

Taking that step back is definitely an effective way to determine how smart that aggressive defender is. 👍🏼

[@phillipcoleman6422]

I like to front playing the aggressive defender. Like if you get the ball around the three point I’ll press on you, if you take a step back I’ll just sit at the three point to see if what you going to do... if you pull up for a shot I’ll have my hand up and if you hit then I’m gonna guard ya a lil more closely... always got a fear of getting crossed so I don’t try press until I see what kind of bag they got

[@StreetballStrategies]

@@phillipcoleman6422 e Exactly. I’d always rather test their 3 point range than to give up the lane.

[@Aaron-ix8zh]

@@StreetballStrategies same I have to see if they got a shot and determine there play style then Ik how to play them on defense

[@devvv4616]

@@phillipcoleman6422 yeah a disciplined defender is really hard to score on

[@chocomint8261]

@@phillipcoleman6422 first few possessions always smart to do this, rather give up an open 3 than an open lane and you start to figure out what kind of player you're guarding

[@Asuraunl]

My friend is this aggressive defender where he is like a mad dog chasing for the ball it’s so hard to dribble when I see him trying to take the ball

[@Toni-nf6ht]

I think you are a genius to design these drill and let player understand the game step by step.

[@morethanbasketball3649]

Dope drills, I like this breakdown and then how it's implemented in real play. Keeping the training game-like. Definitely gonna steal this one!

[@LondonRagasa]

As an overseas Pro in Asia.. I think the best way to handle any type of pressure is to be confident. I try to instill that with the younger guards because anytime a defender feels they can guard you/pressure you, more so if they rip you in the back court then you are seeing water bottles all game. I would say slow the game down and just exercise a simple back up dribble.. As all that is way too inefficient in terms of conserving energy, to be effective throughout the game. Just another viewpoint although great content.🎮🥊🔥

[@sarsvfx]

Bro thats foul my defender grabbed me with his hands and hold me and said that's defense even the bess offensive player can't do nothing when a guy is playing nfl defense bro

[@bulldzr2601]

Thank you coach. I love the good vibes and the background music, always makes it more fun to learn🔥🏀

[@RealTalk2000]

Great drill and great content. Just have these guys focus on using that off arm to create a little bit of additional space as they make that drive and they'll be solid.

[@ezbEtc]

You can also use your off hand for a bit of a push off it'll never get called

[@HeiTheGate]

I like to do the separation it usually will open up a shot if they respect your driving capability but I actually prefer to step up into the aggressive defender and use their aggression against them from a tripe threat and planting my pivot between their legs. Smart defenders will immediately back up because they know what I’m trying to do.

Nash would always just flip his hips to closed stance and then hip swivel forward to go past them, protecting the ball with his leg and hand fighting.

Just pass the ball

[@ByAnyMeansBasketball]

Or… use the pressure to your advantage and get by a defender. Sounds pretty lame to me

[@indianstephcurry2271]

ok sid

[@COOLSAUCE21]

Passing is the obvious option if it's a double team, as someone will be open. But.. if it's one defender playing pressure defense, there might not be an open teammate to pass to 🤷‍♀️

[@Aaron-ix8zh]

If you able to pass to an open player then do it but if not this drill pretty effective

[@ifyourmarriedyourasimpanda7440]

Only 2 times you should pass 1. You have an open teammate directly or I closer proximity to the basket then you for the easy layup/dunk. 2. Double/Triple team If you pass in any other scenario then the opposing team knows your the weakest link and will constantly pressure you to force turnovers.

[@robtranzen3282]

Idk why youtube got it dislike??? I took it off

[@kamilagrumpy2604]

I am gonna pretend im gonna preasure you and what u should do??? Why dont you just pressure defense and tell them to retreat step and drive.??????!!! Noone is really pressure defending.
