Last one they can just attack your top foot and make you open up so to counter that (only if your already an elite defender) cross your feet over instead of sliding if you get beat a bit
Crossing your feet isn't the best option because when you do open yourself up and cross your feet that's when the best ankle breakers happen. The offense has you shuffling to one side crossing over your feet so when they switch directions fast you can barely recover
@bobiobeal4260 offense always has advantage. People are required nowadays to cross feet. Shuffling doesn't work anymore due to increased athleticism. Crossing is almost required now.
The cross-foot is an optional move; it's dependent on your opponent. That's why I always start locking down a player in a second-round game. In the first game, I've studied his movements and let him execute his BAG moves, footwork, offhand, and strong hand.
Do not do the last one bc the defender can attack your top foot side and if you try to turn your hips you will either fall, get beat, or get countered, 2 weeks ago I took a kids ankles bc his feet were angled and he wanted me to go right so I hit an in and out with my right hand and whipped a cross to the left he tried to turn his hips and he fell
if your doing the last one it works when youre up into them physical take away one side of them and force them into gap defense or a tough angle around the basket
Not true. He's still dictating where he wants him to go but smart and quick enough to know if he attacks his front foot to open up his hips and cut him off. It's really not that hard. Play smart....
Defensive tips, right handed shooters contest with your left hand, opposite for lefties, count dribbles makes stealing the ball easier, reach when the ball is otw down, always force players to use there weak/off hand
In the last one, my coach used it before. We were doing 3v3 match ups to help us communicate and connect with each other, and the winners get to fight the coach. My teammate was on the wing and both the elbows were occupied. Only the corner was exposed, so my coach used that stance to bait him and get the ball since dribbling to the baseline was a tough task but it my teammate goes to the free throw line.
Im ngl on that last one it leaves your top foot vunerable the first stance you showed is perfect for a zone defense because it allows you to shift side to side. And also that first one should only be used in drop coverage as if u know the player can only shoot the midrange and drive dont give him 2 points of attack
BRO i forget to comment on your videos but like omg thank you so much i am going in to 9th grade and i played JV A team last year as a 8th grade and i am playing most likely varsity next year all because of u and your tips also watching a shit ton of film and practicing 5-6 hours a day and recovering very good i dream of going D1 and i go to camps and tournaments and have been contacted by a D3 school they contacted my parents but can’t do anything because i am going to be a freshman but thanks so much man
@@Jay-tx2wz get some reps in and watch a ton of film. go to your local y and join in some runs. you’re going to be terrible for the first few months but it doesn’t matter; you’re fighting time and need the repetitions. don’t worry about your handle. you can get shifty later. for now, just focus on three level scoring, ie the 3ball, middies, and finishing. hustle hard and get conditioned quickly. there’s certain skills that pair well together, like 3 and d, which provides all of scoring, defense, and spacing. if you’re trying to make a team or get playing time quickly, mastering those skills will make you a valuable roleplayer. in the long run, you’re going to need to add some moves to your bag and develop the rest of your skills as well. good luck man.
@@ChadBeetle thank you I’m jus barely 6’ barefoot and I’m having trouble getting to the rim and finishing, is there any film u think I should watch? also I’ve been working on my shot and I’ve improved , I’m going to have to be a guard so I’ve still been working on the handle as it will help me with playmaking
@@Jay-tx2wz for personal study, watch the 2022 finals. then watch the series breaking down each game of those finals by the channel “thinking basketball.” i would strongly recommend watching a ton of their content. it won’t tell you how they do it but why. it’s helped me a ton with navigating simple plays that a guard needs to have down pat (especially the pick n roll and it’s variations). as for getting to the rim and finishing: i’m 5’8”, and from my experience, spin moves have a much higher payoff at that level than crossovers. combine a basic cross with a hesi into spin and bankshot, and you’ll get past a ton of defenders. if you’re a point guard, you’re probably not catching passes on backcuts to the rim, so those moves are very useful to have in your bag. if you’re a 2guard, you should still learn those moves, but it’s much more consistent to cut, catch, and rack it. my b if i’m writing too much bro. i started playing late and those are the tips that helped me through that first year.
With the defensive stance the offensive player could rip threw with their arms and get you a foul. Put your arms wide so they don’t have much space to move except for a pass
Proud lock down defender no one can score on me at school and since I’m taller than mostly everyone I just put my hand up and jump then throw it in the hoop I’m trying to be a center for my school next year
I don’t angle my body to bait people into thinking I don’t know what I’m doing then trap them and force them into a shot they don’t want to take and if it’s a pass it’s mine ☺️
I would suggest play straight up and move your feet. When guarding push step instead of slide and be vicious with your hands. Should be bouncing and taking away every angle they want to take. If you need examples look at GP, pat bev, MJ or Kobe

in the last one it only works if your playing up on them take away one side and force them into help or a tough angle around the basket
Not if you angle them away from a crowded spot

that's why you gotta have good awareness and dont move lol.
That’s why I can’t be guard😈😈😈😈
its smart to take away their strong side tho.. force them opposite.
Not true. He's still dictating where he wants him to go but smart and quick enough to know if he attacks his front foot to open up his hips and cut him off. It's really not that hard. Play smart....

bro just took “if u can’t beat them join them” to a whole nother level💀
BUT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
❤
Really helpful!
finally someone who posts defense tips💀
I'm a lockdown already, but i love learning tips.

Bro shoulda done back layup juking them into him doing the front :)))))))
The “go right by them” and the look made me
Laugh so bad

Good Footwork is key to good defense.

I started playing basketball later but I still practice and watch a lot to try and catch up , any advice?

Thx
Thanks
Helps when you help from your teammate, but that's not always the case
I play against a lot of good ball handlers so i learn how to take the cross and still be able to beat them to the spot

I remember in 7th grade I signed up for Basketball Exploratories, all the 8th grade guys called me 'lockdown defender'
thanks man..
Thnks❤
bro i locked-down without training or this vid before i never got shake off

Proud lock down defender no one can score on me at school and since I’m taller than mostly everyone I just put my hand up and jump then throw it in the hoop I’m trying to be a center for my school next year
I literally did this not even the school basketball capt get through me

I think being a good defender is knowing your opponents tendencies.. otherwise its pretty much a gamble
I wanna see somebody go right by them lol 😅😅 sounds good
I go much lower im more comfortable and my balance is amazing when im low and im much faster

Y’all saying the last one don’t work yet nba players literally do it…
im a lock down defender normally im normally a pf
If they attack your top foot you just fix your hip
Оксимирон
If the defender go to his right he can pass easy
You can also just foul them
Last one isn’t good because you will just get crossed through the legs and if you’re not fast enough it’s an easy layup
That’s why you keep one hand low and one hand high, so if they try a nutmeg, you’ll just grab it.
@@nairda4668 thanks for the tip
@@nairda4668or if they nutmeg just don’t turn around cut him off from the ball

Watch hips, get quicker feet. In post use your body not you arms

"beat them there" 💀
Bro … pls pls give us a tip on how to lockdown hesi player… I’m so tired of it😢
Watch the hips. As long as you're able to match their hip movement they can only shake you through pure speed.
