How to: Play KILLER Defense Against FAST Players in Basketball! (How to Become a LOCKDOWN DEFENDER!)

[@user-tq7bd7jb3m]

I used to play defense and keep getting fouls because i defend so tightly now i think my defense is better

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Give a little more space and you will be better at defense because you can react to moves better that way

[@blessingahmed8500]

Same let’s see if my defensive will get batter

[@vedantbhatt4675]

[@JorzzProtacio246]

I also do this and sometimes my enemies get mad they cant get a shot or pass through because of my defense to the point they get mad and just elbow me to the chest

[@-kentaE]

@@JorzzProtacio246 I'll prolly just past the elbow to them

[@ethanschneider3676]

0:58 (Give appropriate distance) (Such as giving arms distance or even more depending on your speed) 2:51 (Forcing them one direction, do this by giving the appropriate space) (Force them towards the baseline or the sideline, don't let them have the whole court to work with) 4:44 (Don't let them catch the ball) (See the ball and the defender)

[@ImTheGibby]

The guys that I play with know me as the 2-way shooter but I’m coming off a knee injury and I’m a little slow so i needed this to help guard the smaller guys who are a bit faster

[@christianimmanuelgregsalga8600]

I was trying to guard a player faster, taller, and older than me and I keep getting scored on no matter what I do. Now you gave me more knowledge and corrections. I hope it works, Thank you very much.

[@thegoon3088]

And to anyone who plays competitively at any level and wants to get better at defending faster players. Remember also to hit the gym and get yourself faster. Seriously, put that work in off the court too.

[@ubongetim9324]

Hey so i grew to 6’3” this year and im just starting to play so i did freshman. I progressed alot, but i still need some fundementals down. Since i was a tall freshman i palyed center but if i do well over summer i want to play small forward. What do i need to do to even potentially make var?

[@sr4lifebaby]

Just practice dribbling everyday and your shots. Also if you want to play college you should try to be a guard

[@romeomarrero3204]

Let's start by calling it varsity n not just var

[@estevanperezz]

sucks playing center at 6’3 because you wouldnt know if you stopped growing and when you reach a higher level with taller players your center playstyle will mess you up

[@CasperKlipzz]

FINALLY! I have waited for this!!!

[@ThincPROBasketball]

Got you covered!

[@Yngman_Kwopo]

Ah this actually answered my questions about defense, but when I have the ball on offense, I move too fast which makes me stumble so I need to move slower.

[@timonbubnic322]

You dont need to move slower, its most likely that you have poor dribling control which makes you lose the grip on the ball and you automatically lose all coordination then

[@xtgamermo2859]

Thanks, got my ankles broken by some kid with 99 handles, hope I can guard him now

[@roymuzuwa7108]

Gokus Rocket you probably watching the wrong player

[@SpeedyGreene]

Pay attention to details

[@papiguss6155]

What do we do if the defender is not only faster than us but can shoot lights out and can finish in the paint because with that much space he can easily pull up and if you try to contest it a little he will blow by you or finish with a tough layup

[@Silverhead111]

Papi Guss if you're guarding that person, that person must be greatest basketball player in history. If they can do all of that, that either means that your defense is very poor and that you need read the player and play to your strengths.

[@supermanin10]

I had the same question

[@adept2342]

Take this saying. "Whatever the defense does is wrong". In some situations, you can guard an opponent to the best if your ability, but he may still be able to score. The great players are great all around, good athletes, clamp on defences, good in transition, and can score whether driving or pulling up. In yhis situation, you just gotta keep him in front of you and play as best as you can. If he's smart, don't focus on the eyes, as good court vision will only deceive you with fakes. Instead, focus on his stomach, that will always be centered and he cant move without the mid section moving as well.

[@almaq2078]

Let him shot it still

[@kinodertoten4922]

Helped me a lot. Thanks coach

[@Johnkoth]

1 problem with what you said is sliding to keep with the fast player. Players that are super fast are to fast to slide to keep up with. Examples MJ, Allen Iverson, Ja Morant, John Stockton. Kyrie type dribbler will beat you with the crossover. You can move faster going forward than sideways. A super fast player will dribble around you. Sliding defense was invented in the 1950s or before when most players were average speed and dribbling rule did not allow crossover dribbles. It works great for Highschool ball. But the higher the level of play the faster and better footwork players have. Also the pass better. The only way a super fast player is stopped doing this is you have a taller and longer player guarding them that has great footwork and is fast too. Thats rare too. Otherwise you need a 2-3 zone or some other zone with a defender in the paint to help prevent dribble penetration. When you have a player helping you behind you it takes some pressure off you and allows you to defend better and if you get beat your help picks him up and stops him before basket usually. I have coached completive rec ball vs ex. Highschool Varisty teams of 20 yr olds. Also against ex college players. A D2 or D3 player is usually easily more advanced than a Varsity Highschool player. More experienced and more skilled.
