HOW TO: THE EASIEST POSITION TO SCORE PLAYING 1 ON 1 2 ON 2 BASKETBALL

What's going on guys? I'm Tom Cotman, Conor's professional street basketball player, multiple world record. What's happening, peeps? Brother's been coming along, trying to get famous, isn't he? He's doing something, but he's going to help out today, so thank you very much, Christopher. So this tutorial is the easiest one-on-one position to score from. This is for beginners. Well, no, it's for everybody, but we're going to do an advanced one next, so stay with me, all right? Let's get into this tutorial. Okay, so guys, we're going to show you from a couple of different positions of how to, obviously, once you've received that check ball, so check ball, you get that basketball, and then obviously the defender's looking to come and guard you one-on-one, okay? So what we need to do is take that defender to where we want to get him on the basketball court. So what we're going to do first of all is we're going to do it from the side so I can show you how to back down the defender in the best way. So once you've checked ball, okay, so obviously the defender's here, so straight away you need to protect the basketball, okay? So now my back is towards Chris, okay? Arm out, you can use your arm, okay? You know, don't make sure you don't punch him in the face or nothing like that, but make sure you're here, okay? You can back down the defender, you know, a good sort of five, six feet, okay? So obviously you can get a lot closer to the basketball hoop, okay? So let's just show you from the other side just in case. So check ball, defender comes out, okay? So you turn your back, okay? Make sure you're protecting the basketball, you're pushing him back, okay? So you know, defender can't reach, even if he's reaching, try and reach Chris, okay? You're using your arms, he's never getting that, defender's never getting that, okay? So that's how we're going to back down the defender to get to a nice position now. I'm going to try and get him to about this close to the basketball hoop and then once we're at this position, I want to get myself to this position to shoot off the backboard. So I want to get to this position. Now the reason why we want to get to that position is because shooting off the backboard will open up so much more movement, obviously, to try and score, especially when the defender's trying to try and block you. If you were just shooting for the hoop, obviously if you wanted to come off the backboard, your arm could go here, your arm could go here. So as he comes over, you can go off the backboard, you can aim high off the backboard, off the side. So what I'm saying is when someone's guarding you, you've got much more to aim for and hope the ball goes in rather than just going straight for the hoop. So we're going to back down the defender and then we're going to come to this position here and I think, right, I've got to get myself over here. The best way to do that is to try and get the defender to reach for the basketball this side. So you almost want to show him a little bit of the basketball this side. As he reaches, we're going to put a spin move on him. So now we're in this position. As you spin round, the defender's going to try and recover and try and block you. So what you want to do on the spin move is take one more step away from the defender and then we're looking at shooting off the backboard. Hopefully that made sense. We're going to speed up a little bit so you can see exactly what's going on. So we're backing down the defender here. We want to try and show the ball a little bit here. Spin, step back and then you've got the jump shot off the backboard and you can see there's some space created there already. Okay, let's go slow one more time off the check before we speed this up. Okay, so check ball, coming down, protect the basketball, okay, pushing him down. Now I've got him to where I want to go. Show him the basketball here, spin, you've got him here. So what the step does here, when you show him the basketball here and you do the spin move, you obviously create some nice space. But if I was not to take the step and I was just about to stop here, Chris can recover and get that basketball. That extra step takes you away from the defender and you can get it off the backboard here. Okay, all right, so let's go again. Let's walk it through one more time. So check ball, okay, coming down here, okay. As I reach, as I show Chris the ball, okay, and he's reached out and I spin, you can see now he's so heavily weighted on this side, to recover as I spin, he's going to have to be so, so strong and athletic and fast to get that. But with that extra step, he really doesn't really have much of an opportunity to block me or recover. Check ball, all right, so you're here, okay, as you come down, show him the ball, spin, you've got him there. Let's go one more time. You know that's the position you need to get to, to score. You know that's the position, he doesn't know this. Okay, so he's coming down, protect the ball, show, step, out, got him. So that's the easiest position to score one-on-one because you've got to use the backboard, okay. We're not looking at doing crossovers, handles, breaking ankles. We're looking to score one-on-one, the easiest way for beginners. Anybody can use it but that is the beginner's position to get to. So next tutorial, we're going to up that, show you a little bit more advanced how to score one-on-one, so make sure you tune in for that.
