You too can break ankle with a killer cross over

The art of deception

Have you ever noticed that some players keep blowing by defenders, even when they don’t have the best handles? Their secret is this; every time they change direction, they change speed. So the first piece of advice is this; do not go as fast as possible all the time but change your speed every time you change direction.  Say your teammate comes to set a screen on the right side, act like you’re going go right to use the screen. As soon as your defender starts going right to overplay the screen, go left quickly and blast to the basket!

One-two punch

Let’s use the above example. You are dribbling and waiting for the screen to come on your right. When the screen is set, dribble between your legs from your left to your right, act like you are going to use the screen, and use a quick dribble below your knees to go back to the left. The killer cross over is really like a one-two punch.
