Drop Step

Laatst gewijzigd 14 november 2017

Omschrijving

The drop step is a way for the post player to move to the rim after receiving the ball at the bucket without dribbling along the baseline:

  • The player receives the ball with his back to the basket.
  • He takes a step backward next to the defender on the side of the baseline. The step is in the direction of the basket, so that the defender comes in the back.
  • He places a jumpshot close to the basket.

Drop step dribble

If the ball is further away from the basket, a dribble will be needed to get closer to the basket along the baseline.

  • At the same time as the step to the basket, a dribble is placed next to this foot
  • The player takes off on this foot
  • Takes the ball in his jump
  • He ends with a jumpstop under the basket, feet parallel to the baseline to keep the defender in the back.

Leerpunten

  1. Stay low when you do the cross step or the open step
  2. Always keep your body between the ball and the defender
  3. Always step forward and take your first step next to or past the defender, not before.
  4. Put your defender on the wrong track by first making an open step to one side, pivoting back and your first dribble a cross step to the other side
