3 on 3 basketball tips?

Question

I'm currently going to participate in a 3 on 3 competition next month. I have about 5 days left. I need some person who has participated in such a competition to give me some tips and common mistakes done by players while playing the game. My team has got excellent shooting skills i would say about 98% and great ball handling skills. We got highly effective defensive formations and offensive formations. But all i need is to know common mistakes done by the opposing team so that we could force them to make mistakes and pressure them even more.

Thanks

Answer 1

team defense is the key. usually people play straight-up man-to-man D here. make sure that the two who aren't guarding the ballhandlers slack off a bit on their man. you can be as far as 10 feet from your man if your man and the ballhandler are on opposite ends of the floor. if the ballhandler drives and gets past one of your teammates, somebody has to cover. meanwhile, the guy who just ate dust better look for the man who is now free and cover that guy.

on offense, passing is key, unless you got a really good guy who can both shoot and drive, and there's absolutely no one, two, or three that can stop the guy. always look at where your defender is looking. if you got the ball, your defender probably isn't looking at where your - or his - teammates are. he'll never see where you're gonna pass the ball, provided you do your motions quickly enough. if you don't have the ball, try to find where your defender can't see the ball handler, and do a really quick cut down that line. that way, your defender will never see where the ball is coming from, and won't be prepared to stop you from receiving it.

Answer 2

On 3 on 3 what seems to happen is that the key is widely left open.... its easy to drive. When there's one good player he very much dominates the game. Make sure there is a help-side and just let the team shoot all they want. But on the contrary make sure your team doesnt settle for the jumper and pounds the ball in, because 3 on 3 gives you a lot of driving space.
