Drive first
Idea · sees it and chooseslayers 1–3
Going to the basket and making space for a good shot is not selfish. Passing straight away without a reason or a goal is.
Cue
See the rim? Go.
Why
A drive draws defenders and frees the others. Pass-and-cut comes later.
When can they do it?
| Layer 1Control | Drives to the smiley and stops in balance or finishes. |
| Layer 2Shape your own | Drives and chooses between finishing and the kick-out. |
| Layer 3Shape others | Drives to move the help defence. |
What to watch
- Attacks when there's an opening
- Stops in balance before the lava when it's closed
What often goes wrong
Giving the ball away at once without checking if you can go.
