In basketball, it is essential to teach your players that there is not just one way to beat the defender. While everybody is training to be speedy, it is rare that the basketball player is learning how to stop fast. Being able to change the rhythm is in many times more valuable than being able to run fast. Today we are going to analyze this move done by Isaiah Tomas. As there are more good basketball elements to see, this video is perfect for our next article.
The coach who will help us with the details is Trey Slate, the skill development coach who works with Avery Bradley and Buddy Hield.
Here, we can see that Tomas wants to set up the final move. So what is he doing? He made one or two casual dribbles, and then he has stopped in a vertical stance to see the reaction by the defender. If the defense has decided to cross the path, Tomas would have a chance to do the rolling and to go left side, which is his dominant-hand side.
Because of the good defensive positioning, Tomas had no other choice except to continue at full speed toward the paint. After two hard dribbles, he sees that the help defenders are positioned as well as they can be. His next move is to go for a full stop with his left leg used as a break. The defender was beaten on the drive so he is now trailing behind.
In the sequence of the moves, we have a step back done by Tomas. As the trailing defender is making an extra effort to try and reconnect on the penetration, now he can't stop fast enough, so Isaiah has all the time in the world to take a mid-range jumper.
Take a quick look at the help defenders. They are positioned as well as they can be.
Let us take a look at what coach Trey has to say about this move:
