(Swipe Left) Today we are going over ball fakes, the first type we are covering is pump fakes. Pump fakes are used to make the defender react to us “faking like we’re shooting the ball” which forces them to jump in the air contesting the fake shot. There are multiple ways to use a pump fake. Against a close out, which can lead to a 1 dribble jumpshot or drive to the basket. We can pump fake against the closeout again then use a sidestep to hit the three after the defender blows by us. We can use the pump fake after we pro hop to either step thru and finish or fadeaway from the defender. We can pump fake after the pick up on our 1 dribble and 2 dribble jumpers to force our defender to jump in the air. After he jumps we simply shoot as he is on the way down. We can also pump fake on the pick up to a step thru finish after the defender jumps towards the ball. As you can see one fake can lead to many opportunities we simply need to know HOW TO USE it. Once we know how and the when it becomes easier to actually make The right reads in basketball. #basketball #basketballtraining #pumpfake #shotfakes #basketballfundamentals #basketballskillstraining #basketballtraining #nbabasketball #collegebasketball #highschoolbasketball https://www.instagram.com/p/CUafVvLr4j6/?utm_medium=tumblr
