Answer 1

Man if you haven't played on that squad before , the only thing you can bring to help them is Defense, get you a mouth guard, and use your speed to get charges, play rough with the best player on the team, you will know you putting good defense on him when he passes the ball, and make sure you guard him every-time, coach will wonder why his star player  hasn't been scoring, and if you can stop his star player then you can stop other star players on other teams, you will be a bruce bowen, a raja bell, type player, Just get all the rebounds that fall by boxing out, if everyone box out properly, then the ball is suppose to hit the floor, Study defense , don't go out there trying to be another offensive player, the the Dennis Rodman of the team the ben wallace, use you athleticism to your advantage and you will be on that team. Coaches love Defense, because Defense controls you offense. Hope that helps, far as being nervous, you not the only one that's nervous the star player is nervous as well, but he doesn't show it. so you don't have to show it. Play some pick up basketball. and work on your defense, and not at the YMCA , go to the go find some RAW talented street players. they will help you get better. and it would help with you being nervous.

Answer 2

It's natural to be nervous, just don't let it affect your play.  Be sure of yourself when you step on the court and be prepared for anything.

Answer 3

just zone the people out and use your stregth/muscle to your advantage. try your best not to be nervous. act as if there not there. you will get used to it after a while.

Answer 4

Don't be nervous.
