How To Play Basketball: Disruption Principle #3

[Music playing]

This is defensive disruption, principle number three. What we are going to do is we are going to lock in the offensive player. What I mean by that is we are going to make sure that our feet are to the outside of both of the offensive player’s feet. That way, they cannot make it quick and deliver a drive to the basket. We are also going to make sure are arms hit a wall, so we never reach over or into the offensive player and we will shadow or follow the ball around.

Now, let us take a look at this in a team setting and how it will work in a game situation. You notice the head level is always down. To help defense is always using pointers. We are always getting closer, then the arms length away from the offensive player when we lock them in, so they do not have a room to drive on us. We are trying to put excessive pressure on the offense, take them out of what they are used to doing and what they like to do.
