Discuss different offensive strategies and how to execute them.
To begin, we will focus on the pick-and-roll. The pick-and-roll is an offensive strategy that involves two players. The first player, the ball handler, moves towards the picker, the second player. This creates a physical barrier, or pick, that the defense must negotiate in order to guard the ball handler. The ball handler can then either drive to the basket, pass to the picker, or pull up for a jump shot. The picker once blocking the defend can pivot towards the hoop with an arm out looking for a pass in. Practice all variations.
Next, we will focus on the give-and-go. The give-and-go is a strategy that involves two players. The first player will give the ball to the second player, who will then move the ball in the opposite direction. The first player will then move towards the basket, creating an opening that the second player can pass the ball into for a score.
Finally, we will focus on the screen. A screen is an offensive strategy that involves two players. The first player sets a physical barrier, or screen, in front of the defender to help the second player get open. The second player can then move freely and receive a pass for a score.
These are just a few of the offensive strategies available. Through practice and repetition, players will be able to master these strategies and develop their own offensive play style.
