How do you keep the basketball away from the defender ?

use your body to shield the ball.\nkeep moving, the longer you stand still the easier it is to get a read on the ball and take it.\ndon't dribble too much.

Depends on the situation- if you have a teammate nearby, the easiest and quickiest way to get around the defender is pass the ball and run past the defender, so that your teammate can pass you the ball back and then you are in the clear.  If you are alone, often times you can dribble up and make a quick move or fake and then once the defender bites, you take off the other direction with speed to get past them.

Deffinetly more offence, they need to shoot more!  Take a chance.  Quit playing around and shoot the ball! They will come back...Dee-troit Bas-ket-ball!!!  Wahoo--

You can go around them...but not through them.  I think the most important part of defending the screen though is to decide with your team/teammates how are you defending?  There are two main ways..1) switch-so the person picking you now becomes your responsibility or 2) fight through the screens-which you may have to help each other out with at times.\nI think the other aspect you have to take in also is whether or not they are setting good screens.  Are they sticking their arms out and holding?  Are they moving?  All of these are illegal-and make getting through or around them alot harder.

do light reps and strengthen your upper body so that you can take the contact. also work on a floater in the lane to get it over the big men. another thing do not give up your dribble unless you have a shot that will keep your options open. remember drive, draw, and dish.

there should be a hand on the ball and the other hand extended for a pass. dont get too close because they will cross you over. keep a distance and when he wants to jump put a hand up and jump also\nlook at this website and look at the defenders hands. \nhttp://media.scout.com/Media/Image/29/292521.jpg

When challenging another player head on, NEVER back away from the other player.  You'll invariably get hit in the face when they shoot or try a long pass.  Always advance fast and try to get as close as possible when you have to challenge them for the ball.  It is hard for the ball to have enough momentum when you're right on the player with the ball.\n\nPressure is more likely to make them miss, even if you never touch the ball.  Put on the pressure, use your shoulders, and you probably won't get hit by the ball.

Practice, practice, practice!!  I am a true believer that defense wins games, but I also believe it's important to be an offensive threat.  Asd long as you're scoring, the coach can't keep you out he game for too long!! \n\nFind three moves and perfect them (mid-range jump shot, 3-point shot, post move)\n\nThis coming from a former player who wishes I had taken my own advice!

Try playing with your friends and tell them to run the ball and you try to tackle them or somthing like that also try do a lot of weight lifting and bench a lot so you can tackle better adn try to improve your runnin skills to prevent the blockers from blocking you.

Dont try to kill the ball.

Play a give-ngo play, really simple. You start with a normal 1 man on top 2 wings and 2 posts. The 2 posts constantly give screens to anyone cutting. Whoever passes a ball runs in and uses the screen to find an open spot, like the corner for a shot, player who didnt get the ball comes closer to make sure him and the ball is one pass away, and strong side post seals D and is open then opposite post can flash up to high post for a pass fake drive of a shot if he has range if none of those open, another pass to another guard and passer does the cutting again and posts screen again and its continuous motion till you find an open shot.

Play either a 3-5-2 or a diamond defense.\nIn a 3-5-2, have 2 defensive mids that mark the point of the triangle and the ball (depending on who's nearer).  Two wing defenders mark the other two points of the triangle.  Note wing mids must track other teams' wing mids all the way to the endline if need be for this to work.\nIn a 4-4-2, one central defender marks the point of the triangle.  Wing defenders mark the other two points.  4th defender acts as sweeper.  Again, wing mids must mark well.\nFinal option 4-4-2.  central defender takes one point.  defensive mid takes one point, wing defender nearest other point marks that point of the triangle.  Leaves back side defender and one central to clean up messes.\nIn my experience, third option is best.

Generally there is a spring or some other device at the joint of the hoop and the backboard to prevent the backboard from absorbing all the force of the dunk.

*Work on your freethrows(being down low you will get fouled a lot)\n*Work on quick feet(although you are big you need to be quick so you can move to the ball faster)\n*Take about 500-1000 mid-range jumpers a day(work on getting the right form, keep the ball above your chest)\n*Keep the ball low and work mostly on your off hand ball handles\n*Make sure you keep your pivot foot while spinning, and when you pump fake make sure you show a real shot fake, not that fake ball show.\n*Beat your man down the floor(again quick foot work), establish position early and don't give in to the man guarding you. Get deep into the post area.\n*Don't flop, don't dip into the defense, and go up STRONG no matter what.\n\n*THE BEST THING TO DO IS DO CARDIO, STRENGTH TRAINING, AND QUICKNESS DRILLS. ALSO DO A LOT OF CATCH AND SHOOT DOWN IN THE PAINT

When you do your shoot around try to feel the shot instead of aiming at the basket all the time. You need to establish the right rhythm so when it comes to the games it wont matter if there is a defender in your face or not. Rhythm is the key to shooting.

Swing pass immediately at the site of a trap. There will be an open man usually close by because the 2nd defender in the trap has to come from someone close by. Get the ball to the otherside of the court and continue to pass. Eventually, the open man will be found in less than 6 seconds. Seriously, don't hold the ball longer than a half second when passing away from an approaching trap.\n\nIf you get into a trap, try not to bend over and hug the ball to protect it. You'll never get the ball to another man and you will end up losing possession. Just get rid of it quick.
