Advice on 1-1 bball?

Question

if im playing against a bigger guy and im not really good @ crossover. OK @ shooting

what should i do ?

Answer 1

yeah, you're going to have to slash to the hole.  Any missed outside shots, he'll get the rebounds

Answer 2

fade away

pull up J

sky hook

lay up (use the hand further away from the opponent)

post him up (he's bigger but you should still be able to give him a hip bump)

spin move

if you play with fouls, try and draw a foul

Answer 3

well considering the fact that ur opponent is bigger then u, u shud be faster then u. practice working on the crossover because thats the only thing its gonna help u. u have to run t othe basket to shoot because if u just shoot in his face, most likely u'll miss cuz hes defense is gonna be stronger. the only way u'll shoot in his face is if ur kobe or lebron

Then as a smaller player, you should work on your outside game, and if you're not that good at the crossover, practice it. You should use smaller player qualities to your advantage. I assume that you are quick. Here are two scenarios.

1. You check the ball in, and he's still guarding you out on the wing. That would be the best scenario for you. Since he's big and slow, you could easily cross him up, and throw in some fakes, and he's burned, and that's an easy layup for you. Also, you can use some triple threat moves, to slide past him.

2. You check the ball in, and he's heading to the post. Don't let the big guy play his game. That's when you step back to the wing, let him play you off, and fire a easy open jumper. Or, he could follow you from the post to the wing, and then you go from scenario two from one.

So, even if you say you're not that good at crossovers, or jumpers, then practice it. It would make no difference of you playing against a smaller guy, if you don't have the necessary tools.

Answer 5

try spin dribbles and fade out shots. but pretend to throw a shot and make the guy jump to block u and while hes in the air run past and do a layup. becos u cant move while hes in the air

Answer 6

that steve nash hesitation jumpshot is great. i use that..besides if ur a good shooter he will probably follow you out to the 3 point line and you dont need a crossover to get by them..u just go right past them...i can cuz im fast. if he doesnt follow you out to the 3 point line then shoot it!

but really if its a bigger guy then you should be worried about stopping them as much as scoring, maybe more..u cant score every posession.. fatigue comes in
