3 tips to become a lockdown defender #basketballtraining

[ENikolaev]

Another good one people get caught on is not watching center mass of the ball handler and watching ball instead. The ball and head can only go so far without the body

Best tips I have:
Active hands
Be physical
Beat them to their spot
Front bigger player in the post
If someone has a big mismatch on you in the post, and they are lowering their shoulder then flop as soon as contact is made
Bother the shooting pocket

Play defense like a predator, instead of prey.

Huge tip as well, tap your toe like you’re about to reach and then press in the direction you think they will react towards, you get so many loose plays lol

[lukeloynachan]

Bet if there guarding you with a completely turned foot, blow by the other way, they will have to turn around giving you two steps on them at least

You got the best basketball shorts bro

#3 is kind of a myth. If they go hard left you gotta turn your hips.

Damn, there was this huge kid who was fast asf in gym class. I’m the best defender but I couldn’t stop him once.

After a few of these tips, (especially the last one), I was able to stop him, the only time he got thru was when his teammate gave him a luckily angled screen.

Thank you, may God bless you all and everyone. ❤

I started to angle myself while gaurding and it seriously helps so much. You can move better and it pisses off the offensive player. Im a solid guy too so when they try to bump me or get physical Im still in the same place. If theyre bigger than me i just sit on their dominant hand with my other hand high. They be gettin so mad n im just laughing in my head😂

Also do not react to every dribble move it will cause wear and tear on your ankles and keep you off balance and if they drive past you guard them closely and if there is a lot of contact you can take an easy charge

[Itschaboylamari]

A good tip is watching how their hips are facing

[Zher-]

The last one is the most easy to break thru

[PANTHRXX]

Another tip: Always anticipate your opponents dribble move, keep an eye on the ball incase you see an opening, that opening allows you to get an easy steal.

Dudes neighbors just looking at this dude like 🤔

Being ambidextrous and running a 4.2 in the 40 yrd you CANNOT speed someone up or make them move at your pace no matter if you try to dictate where they’re going. Your third tip should’ve been watching the chest instead of watching the ball

[TOracle]

Funnel the offense into the help defense. Don't let them pick the direction they go, pick it for them.
