How To Attack A 2-3 Zone Defense

Excellent explanation friend, your video helped me to understand better, you give very good information on your channel, you have helped me a lot, thanks for your contribution. greetings and I hope more topics like this.!

Lots of movement is the key to defeating a zone defense. Coach is right.

My boy SANDROOO!!

All day. Fundamentals can't be ignored.

Love your videos and thank you for posting them. Please spend $50 to buy 10 pinnies just so viewers will not have to expend so much energy and concentration trying to figure out who is on D and O. You will get more views and subscribers I bet.

2021 watching,, for my basketball training

Damn someone should’ve shown this to the 2019-2020 Boston Celtics.

Hi Coach, just want to confirm, the first dribble at the start is gap dribble right? Freeze dribble is when you dribble directly to a defense. I'm just confused.

This is all coach Erik's fault this zone def hyped.

Celtic should have watch this

The celtics need to watch this video lol

If you want to learn more about 2 3 zone defense & offense, I suggest you watch SyraCuse BasketBall.

Gotta have a High Post player. 😀😀😀
But not until the 1st or 2nd pass.

I like the Kansas Jayhawks approach of quick passes all around the perimeter & skip passing, drag dribble from the wing 2 steps downward, as opposed to Top of Key freeze dribble.
Coach Bill Self calls it "Hot Potato."

I love to use a screen off the top finding the cutter b/c depending on skill level of team they wont be paying attention to them

who's here 2019

what type of defenses are good against 3 point shooting?

Sandro looks like he's held at gunpoint.

Coach, what about the point guard splitting the top either for: 1) a floater or a jumpshot from 10 feet?; or 2) kickout to the perimter shooter or 3-point shooter?; or 3) sneak a drop pass or bounce pass to a teammate who slides near the basket along the baseline?

Picks

I'd play the last one high-low to the post.

You don’t have your forwards bumping up? Vs your wings

scammer

Try using colored jerseys. Can’t tell who’s on what team

Apparently he couldn't even get the guys to go shirts and skins to tell the defence from the offence.

Would have been better if you had shirts vs skins, or jerseys vs shirts. Hard to see whos on offense and defense. Nice try though.

had a hard time following who is offense and who is defense

wings in pick up games don't cut.

Always great and vivid demo! Just would be better to have players wear game jerseys, kinda hard to tell defender from offender.

were i play basketball you cant do that pivot and pass thing because majority of the time the guy at the edge of the box marks him closely

guess conversation beef law strengthen anywhere likely wrist speed fee.

whenever I play i get nervous that i will mess up..

Great vid, just a couple suggestions as we're taught how zone defense works pretty early in Europe.
1) Dark/White shirts to separate teams, please :)
2) The freeze dribble is cool, but in a real zone defense only one guard is supposed to attack the ball before the drive even happens. Even if he dribbles around, a switch will happen just as in a regular 1on1 defense.
3) We don't get sucked in by a cutter, we bump them. It looks like all we do when using a zone is moving around waiting for stuff to happen, but no. One guy will attack the ball handler as soon as he gets close to the 3-point line (even if it's not a box+1 zone) and everyone will pick the guy closest to him, trying to prevent them from cutting/driving comfortably and communicating all the time for cuts, screens, switched and all.
So this form of attack might work against a very soft zone defense but most of that motion gets disrupted as soon as the cutters can't finish their move comfortably and people know how to rotate. In my experience, entering the ball through the high post is always the best option against 2-3 and then have your post man move the ball to either the corner, guard or low post depending on the space but most of the time it all comes down to have the whole defense collapse to one side, then use the extra space.

Good stuff

Does this work against 3-2 defense?

basketball coaches that I cover can learn a thing or two from you

cant even recognize his teammates

Slot= short corner right?

a lot of stuff please i want to learn more about basketball. it really helps me alot to work out on my game bballbreakdown is such a great channel. and now i can simply play my game not forcing so many shots and create offense to my teammates and defense.

Good video. Would have been great if you'd had the players wear jerseys so our eyes could differentiate offense vs defense.

hey coach, what do you think of a 1-4 high with a wing pass, followed by the near high post guy cutting to the basket, and the backside high post guy doing a flash to the near elbow. and the passer gives a top screen on the backside high defender for a cut to the top of the 3 from the other wing man?

Very, very good video. A little minus for all the plain t-shirts though. Go and get some colored bibs ;)

Code lots guideline tzpatz principal proof

You americans coaches continue to teach dunks.. In Europe we play and teach some real basketball

EMBARASSING!!! This is not basketball
