Defending
Close-out 3x

Ian MacKinnon

Each player closes out three times (forcing left) then goes off. As part of a pre-game warm-up, there are no coaches on the floor, players close out to spots (see Shooting - Pre-game).

1 closes out at the top, takes two defensive slides to his right (forcing a ballhandler to his left hand), recovers to the middle of the lane.

As 1 closes out to the left wing, 2 closes out to the top, both players take two slides left then recover into the lane.
