2 vs 2

If the defending team is dominating and the 1 vs 1 doesn’t seem to work, you can have a team mate help you. With the help of your team mate you can, just like in football, perform a 1-2 pass. In basketball this is called a give-and-go.

If that doesn’t work, the attackers can set a screen. This means that an attacker will block a defender in a way the defender can’t reach the ball, this helps the player with the ball  to make a lot of offensive moves. Looking at the learning process, we recommend using a screen on players that are experienced with the 1 vs 1 and a give-and-go.

Skills that are important in these two situations:

• Give and go
• Pick & Roll
• Screens
