Defense

Playname : 1-3-1 trap frontcourt

1 I like to use this close to the halfcourt line.We attack as soon as the ballhandler hits the midcourt line.We basically do the same stuff as in the others,the backcourt,and the midcourt.We do try to trap in the lower corners of the court here. We run it the same way with the 1 putting heavy pressure on the ball,the 2 looking to take away the short pass to the sideline,the 4 looking to take away the short center court pass,the 3 looking for a short pass and also ball reversal.The 5 is looking for long passes to the center court and sidelines.

2 here is a example of a lower corner trap.It`s going to be mighty hard to pass out of this one.Trap all 4 corners if you can,but allways remember to put heavy pressure on the ball and the clock is on your side.
