00:00So we slide and I see all this gap right here. Now I can either explode and take that. I'm
00:07thinking I got a blow-by. First pro tip off the float dribble. Once you can see
00:11past your defender's shoulder, go. Alright, see ya. It's time to drive.
00:30But niggas slide with they feet. He good at sliding his feet. Now I know I got him where I want him.
00:36Because he's trying to race me to that. So if he beat me there, cool. I just play right off.
00:41Second pro tip is a game of speed change. The defender dropped his shoulder, opened up, right?
00:46He's sliding his feet. Now he's playing catch-up to like stay in front of me. Because he's moving,
00:52he has to move as fast as I move, right? So now when they're playing catch-up,
00:57it's the perfect time to do a step back, do something like a little snappy snap,
01:01just because they're playing catch-up.
01:05Just slow this one down. Slow this one down.
01:10He's telling him to slow it down because when you have a series of movements,
01:14right, you want to be able to make a read. If you're just going fast, fast, fast, fast,
01:18you can't really make a read unless you're just really good at reading the defender.
01:23But also you have to give the defender time to react.
01:37Attack the closeout. Now this is common sense, but most people don't understand it when it comes
01:43to a series of moves, right? So yeah, they're sliding their feet. Let's say you did a step back
01:49out of them trying to play catch-up, right? Now you get that step back and they close out. They
01:54have to close out. If you don't close out fast enough, I'll have to step back. If it's quick
01:58enough, I'm shooting it. But also if you do close out because I know you have to,
02:05right, then I'm going to go, oh, blow by. When he's on that one, he's still going away from me.
02:11Take that spot up. So here,
02:17he can't, yeah, he can't even, like if he can test that, he got to run into you. You know what I mean?
02:22Because you're just taking that little here and you're right up at him. He's already going to be
02:26on your side. If you round it off now. Fourth pro tip that I love, love, love. I don't care
02:31what level of basketball you're playing. You need to make the cutoff. Cut off your defenders. Stop
02:37allowing them to get back into the play. He's saying basically after you attack again,
02:45don't give them any room to get back into play. All right? So you're going to attack at an angle
02:51and keep them close to your body where you're almost trying to cut them off. Even though you're
02:56trying to get to your spot, get to that spot without creating too much space in between you
03:02and the defense. So just to reiterate, it's not about doing moves. It's about establishing
03:07movements to make a read. You got to know who's guarding you. That's why I like it's really not
03:12about the move. It's really about the defense and having great movement, right? So it's really,
03:17I'm not giving you a move. I'm giving you movement, but I'm giving you the read through
03:21the defense, right? So if he realizes he's being aggressive, he's uptight, he's not standing up.
03:27He knows once he points like this.
03:31Just for example, if I did a pump fake, but it doesn't look like I'm going to shoot.
03:36Does that, I mean, like, yeah, it's a move, but it wasn't, it's not good movement. All right?
03:44So when you guys practice footwork and things like that, we're trying to get good movement to
03:49make reads to get the defender to bite. Don't just step back to step back. Step back as if you were
03:56going to shoot the ball. Right? So now I'm establishing a read. Every movement has a place
04:02to make a read. All right. I hope you guys liked this video. If you like it,
