4 SMART DEFENSIVE HACKS

[@focusedallday5620]

Here’s a couple more I picked up: 1. If someone is driving baseline on you then make sure your body is straddling the baseline. If they go through you it’s a charge, or they’ll back out and have to reset. 2. Always guide the the dribbler towards the help or the out of bounds line. The outbound line is also a defender, use it. 3. Always be moving, the easiest person to defend is the guy that is just standing around. Stay Focused!

[@CFLS95]

@@GandaIf Hood rules, if someone is bleeding & heads to their vehicle or bag, scatter! Be a better friend, call your fouls, play inside instead of on concrete & have a ref. Use inteagy, that's the Airman way. You know when you get beat off the dribble & start fouling with your hands, stop doing that, play safe so you all can play forever.

[@imsorryreacts]

Another underrated one is when on defense, look at the ball handlers eyes, i get plenty of mid-pass steals that way

[@saido4178]

Yeah but only if ur a help side. I also get alot of steals by reading the pg. Also what do u guys prefer when ur defending the one with the ball, looking at their body or their head/eyes?

[@LONEWOLF_Grvy]

@@saido4178hips don’t lie. I’ve always focused on the players hips to show me where they intend to go. Watch highlights and peep their hips I bet you can guess where they want to go.

Keeping them to their bad hand is one of the first things coaches say, and it works wonders for your game, its such an easy thing to know as well, so everyone can use it

[@99swcho]

Last one is all fun and games until one time you get unlucky and the big man decides to dropstep or spin without seeing you and you go for the steal and catch a swinging elbow to the nose or jaw 😅

[@nomooon]

Plus the foul

[@drk.i.a.2969]

Yep, you hv to look how each player plays & their skill level...also beware of the others to see what they doing while you checking them b4 they make their move. My brother was good at the out of bound play.

[@joshsmilerbasketball]

[@NOCOMP7]

Man I used some of these yesterday. They work. Great content my man 💪🏽

[@balbuenaa]

just used number 3 man, this tip was so helpful for me. i’m a guard, and this helps so much on fast breaks

[@waynebruce24893]

#3 is great against a lot of people, but most times when you go to the other side of the body they'll just protect the basket and use the opposite hand to finish. In this case, the guy laying up the ball will just switch the ball to his left and draw a foul.

[@JaydenFoster-ld2vf]

As a big man, it will DEFINITELY only work once a game, but that one time takes away enough aura to keep you out the whole game👍

[@saido4178]

That strong hand tip is good and alot of defenders has done it to me and its annoying if they double one way to get out is in and out and push ur self to get out, or double cross if theres enough space and then squeeze thru.😂

[@akon1112]

This is good advice, for people who don't play 😂

A good hooper has a counter for all of these

[@focusedallday5620]

Facts, but a good defender knows your strengths and force you to play out of your comfort zone. You can’t take away everything, but take away his favorite moves and see how he plays. Stay Focused!

[@ry_an.]

@@focusedallday5620 thats very true. id say im a pretty dynamic hooper but i do like to drive right and get into the defenders body. taller defenders that can cut off the drive are definitely the hardest to score on

⁠that@@ry_an.thats kinds how basketball works?????? There's a counter to literally every move??

[@ry_an.]

@@Xackory yes, thanks for reiterating my comment

[@Incontrollable9]

As a player that's always focused on defense myself here's how the offense might counter these moves. 1) they just won't be idiotic and actually ready for the next play and make a strong pass away from the defense of wait for you to clear out (I don't really try to get that steal or many at all, I'm a big) 2) They'll stumble back if you begin to make too much contact and will get a foul call a lot even when you shouldn't get one, just have to be aware of it. The other way they'll counteract is hesitation if they are a good ball handler 3) Pretty simple shot fake or a reverse layup as you are changing sides, it's a high risk high reward play you are trying to make (I prefer to stay in-between them and the rim and block it slightly after they release) 4) if they are a bad passer then there isn't much counterplay they'll try other than picking up the ball, which is a positive for you anyways, just don't try this against a good passer because you might have just given up a layup

[@Goodvibes-1229]

Thank you. This will help me a lot. I have nationals this week, and I will definitely use these

[@SadulloKhadjibayev]

This actually helped me a lot 🔥

[@bibo5505]

Number 3 is something everyone should be taught. You block so many shots that way and forces them to stop being so carefree causing them to either tire themselves more or miss more shots

[@josesanta414]

It might work once or twice but generally creating contact and not opening up the lane is the better defense. Against bad players number 3 might work well but as soon as you get to a higher level youll get embarrassed. There are so many counters. Mid layup pump fake, off-foot, front rim, reverse. If he switches behind me believe that i will slow down on my last step and keep him there for an extended layup.

[@harlemm6047]

#4- Bigs are taught to check the middle first. 90% of the court is in the middle. That one is gonna get you beat in games Forcing baseline- you should be one area length away and the other hand should be on the hip. I’m spinning on you every time, not switching hands. Good ‘tricks’ but we don’t teach these in D1 or the over seas players. Get In proper position and use your body. No reaching or flying over the back side for a block. Love your videos :)

[@hezijezee]

A thing I picked up from Marcus Smart, if your guarding the ball handler, don’t go for the steal at random points, watch the ball, and when you see the ball start to go down, reach, high chance you could get it

Definitely taking all these tips

[@Omnivoid22]

Angle them or what i called it. You shade then to their weak side. So you have a strong right hand player cut off the roght and force them left. I mean all this stuff is pretty basic stuff but useful for those that dont know or taught

[@elijahmedina3276]

I stopped doing number 3 because the reverse was invented

[@TheRealClipit1]

If you're riding the defenders hip they'll most likely go for a bump lay, nobody is going to go for a reverse if they have to go through you to get it. So just before they go for the shot you rotate around them and go for the block

The second one would mostly only work once on good players they would just do a double behind the back and catch you reaching

[@jooooooeee]

Solid tips

[@rasherth9324]

The 3rd one is so useful

[@Quicktwosteps]

I can do number 2 without impeding the opponent's other hand or putting my hand on their body. I allow ballhandler drive on my left side when I'm guarding because my left side is my strong side while in orthodox position. It's hard to describe it in words but I have my system on stealing stuff. 😅😅😅

[@prosdoomsday1768]

I'm a 5'8 guard getting 3.6 blocks per game using this trick

[@TommySanders-tp3ob]

I feel bad for the people that are getting blocked by you

[@ezyduzit9050]

number 2 doesn't work on me when my friends try it. I have very good handles on my right hand but not so great left hand, so they redirect me to the left but I just use my speed to drive and as they catch up I do a behind the back and get past them

[@Jaskaran_Singhhh]

[@doy2425]

Put your strong leg further back and angle the opponent away from the net while still facing them, they cant get behind you and if they do they’d have to go middle where your teammates should be by then

[@TotallyTaRz]

One of my best moments in basketball was when the opponent had the ball behind his head about to weave it down the court so I just yoinked it from him

[@machinayrequiem8596]

If you're going to angle them toward their weak side you must be playing them tight other wide they are going to just go to their strong side while your body is out of position and you have to picot all the way back around.

The third one won’t work as well against adults, because they could just go for the easy reverse layup

[@izyfish8173]

“This might only work once a game.” 🤦‍♂️ 😂

[@taquaywhite4503]

1. This will work one time in a game and then the other team will become more cautious and the guard will come get the ball not wait 2. No one is going to continue to drive towards their weak hand until the baseline to turn back around. If they do that they are just bad at basketball 3. This will work once and then the offensive player will be able to read this move and reverse or finish inside. Defense is always wrong to an offensive player because they have to give you something. 4. This will work once and if you try it again your man will cut and you leave someone wide open. These arent great tips they work occasionally and against bad players

[@mouldygrub33]

Well number one is based on luck of who the person is inbounding to

[@gavraptor7312]

Number 2 and 4 I keep using against guys that are taller and bigger than me, I ended up stealing the ball from them without them knowing 😂
