Strategy
Strategy notes
- 1Control your position before shooting.
- 2Use jumps to contest shots, not just to attack.
- 3Watch the rebound angle after missed attempts.
- 4Stay balanced between offense and defense so one missed shot does not turn into an easy counter-score.
- 5Watch rebounds and loose-ball angles closely because many scoring chances come from the second touch.
- 6Use stronger shots when the opponent is off balance instead of firing them on every possession.
