Rick Torbett a) 2 balls b) 1 ball |
 | 2 b) One ball Partners are facing the same direction. Steve Nash kick passes - pass sideways (both hands on the ball), continue then switch to face the other way - one dribble then pass - one-hand dribble, one-hand pass (inside hand) - one-hand dribble, pass and catch. Option - shovel pass with the outside hand (see Ganon Baker solo one-ball passing). |
 | 3 Sweep - cross-over with the right foot, pass with the left hand - double pivot - sweep then forward pivot on the left foot in one motion, pass with the right hand - sweep, double pivot with right-foot pivot. Iverson pivot (defender tight, no room to sweep) - reverse pivot (drop step) on the left foot, pass with the left hand - bounce (hook) pass with the left hand - drop step on the right foot, pass with the right hand - option - reverse pivot (or forward pivot) back to the starting position. Fake then take - fake before passing, e.g., pass fake, shot fake, Iverson side jab step, Kobe front jab. Against pressure, stay low, tuck the ball in, elbow behind. Use hook, sweep, Iverson and double pivots to create space. Read your man, look for doors - shoulder-to-head each side (arms down), armpit to hip (arms up). Also read other defenders, including the help. |
