This drill simulates a strong deny play on the wing position. O1 brings his defender with a half speed movement in to the key and then sprints out with a very fast movement to the ball. O1 receives a pass from the coach and now decides to shoot straight away (Picture 1), dribble penetrate directly to the basket (Picture 2) or fake a shot and go for a one dribble jump shot towards the baseline (Picture 3).

Fundamental exercises to gets open and receive the ball under strong defensive pressure.

If the player performs the exercise correctly, he should practice the movement against a defender. At the beginning the defender should work only at half speed.

The movement in to the key should be run at half speed. The offensive player should always be prepared for a backdoor pass in case the defender is playing too high. The V-Cut out of the key has to be very fast. Emphasise correct footwork technique, timing and speed. In Picture 2 and Picture 3 the player should fake every time when he receives the ball.
