Basket ball defence help pease?

Question

ok well imagine a guy is dribbling the ball and running towards the basket non stop and u r a defender how would u stop him. imagine a guy is dribbling and u r in front of him how can u snatch the ball from himm like what kind of exercise will help me increase the fastness of my hand

Answer 1

Hand drills? Well you can't really teach a guy how to play great defense, but you can practice by defending the best player. I think Bruce Bowen said this?

Answer 2

dont try and steal it so bad make him go up for a bad shot or make force him to his weak hand and you gotta be able to keep up with him when hes dribbling or he will put moves on your azz

Answer 3

do lots of agillity drills. and to stop him, set your feet and take a charge.

Answer 4

You mean like if a guy is on a fast break like by himself and your like trying to stop him? What my coaches tell me is to run really hard to get in front of him and cut off his path to the basket. Or you could steal it off his dribble from behind.

If your in front of him playing defense just stay low and be patient, he will probably let his gaurd down eventually and do a bad crossover or make a mistake of some kind, which is when you steal it. If your not patient you will most likely get a foul.

Answer 5

Cut him off. Position yourself to force him in a certain direction. Once you know where he is going you can block his shot or put a hand in his face. The hand in the face thing works surprisingly well. You can also take the charge but only if you're certain you can pull it off. Nothing will make you a better defender other than defending actual players, so go play in some games.

Answer 6

There is no exercise, but you don't snag the ball, or it will be a foul, you stay right next to him, and when he starts taking his 3 steps, put your hand on the ball as he is bringing it up, so it flies away and you don't get a foul.

Answer 7

STOP THE BALL! GO TO  HIM! Always Stop Penetration or at least slow him down. If it seems like he is out of countrol step up and take charge. Team defense fails when someone  fails to stop ball penetration

Answer 8

for the first question, if ur running next to him u need to body him up and try to get in front of him. honestly u should never be in this position but try and get in front of him by using ur body and moving ur feet. now if ur in front him, u stop him by taking a charge. protect urself and hit the deck. make sure ur not leaning and standing straight up. now for snatching the ball u cant just work on it with drills. defense is played with heart. u have to body people up, get in there face, move ur feet, talk...u need to get that person to turn the ball over. i would never suggest reaching because that only causes u to get beat and thats going to lead to sit down on the bench. n yes u can put ur hand in front of a persons face as long u dont touch his face. goodluck and work hard on defense
