Because when you when you got it here, this will make him respond. That that make a response. He if he put his chest there soon as you hear you drive that’s what me and AG work on Braun you catching big guys like you Jiren trip drive you got the same body drop one two drop up hey free throw sir invert watch your foot on the drive Here. That’s all I need. Most bigs are going to square. Soon as you see it, left, right. So, the first one will be so quick. Left, right. Yep. Drive it. One. Sit low. Get that foot right there. Yeah. Got to drop it though cuz your body will roll it. Get your base when you step. Step big. Now, step big right there. Left foot. Yeah. Yeah. You’ll be at the rim because your footwork will be taking you like this. You be there. Boom. Be quick. Right off of it. One, two, up, up, up. Right there. Got it. You see what I’m saying? Okay. So, now put that power into it. I’m going to be there. So, now I’m going be right on that top shoulder. You got to take that dribble. Yep. One, two, up. Up. Shoulder right there. We got to get a clean one. So, you can move me straight into It should take you straight into it. But a real strong defender. Let’s walk through it. Let’s start right here. Now roll right into it. Right. Boom. Yes. Cuz you see how you clear? That’s why that left right. But a lot of times you could do it. Let’s do the spin and clear me without the dribble. Okay. Yeah. Want that way your footwork is on point. Drop. Clear me. Nice. I say you want away. Clear me. Ready, coach. Come here, coach. I’m a clear co. Yeah. I’mma clear, coach. See how I’m clearing without the dribble. Rolling into him. You’re clearing it right there. Left foot. Left foot. Let it go one more time. Right there. Let’s get to the drop and then we’ll get it. Get to the drop. There. There you go. You saw you you can clear without the dribble, but imagine the tighter we get. That’s what me and DeAndre Tristan and Well, looking on that drive, tighter you get. Boom. Now watch. He going to try to Now you Yes. That’s the one. Tighter you get, he going to try to at least stand you at least. I’m going to stand you up at least one. Ready? Good. Drive it. One, two, drop. Clear. Oh, you had it. Good flow. You see how you had the flow though? When you drop it, don’t even pause. One dribble into me. Clear. Clear. Ready, set. One, two, drop. Clear. Oh, there you go. You see the difference? I’mma clear. Before you ever get there, I should be able to clear you. Now, what makes it good for you? Because what I was telling Jiren him, I’m like, if I could teach you off the dribble how to create your own post up. Imagine how easy it is for pockets. But if everything we do is just you in the pocket, you won’t get better for next year. So, but you still got to be on the same because this this roll is the same dribbling down. Just dribbling into it. And then if I catch it early, I can go right into it. Oh, so you can catch right to it. That’s what we That’s how we That’s how we building you. So everything, it’ll look the same, but the entry is different. So now when I cut it off on the baseline, reach your feet and then get off of me. Watch your chest. Ready? Watch. Yep. Yep. Drive. Good. Roll up. It got to be quicker. You see what I’m saying though? Cuz that drive that that that that drive on the baseline is that’s what you’re looking for. Am I going to clip? Yeah. Yeah. Cuz you watch. Boom. Now drop it. Boom. Yes. Ooh. Now that’s when your feet really like doom. Because you’re like, damn, why is he all the way there? We don’t want that. Bow bow. Then if you if I’m on the top shoulder and I’m trying to just mash you down. Tighter dribble. Tighter dribble. Tighter dribble. And when it’s when I’m d I’m driving. This is not a post. This is a drive. This is the same way if you was catching it. So I’m basically going like I’m about to go take I’m going every time. Yeah. Right here. Stop. So we here. You drive. Now you driving. So if I’m boom right, you can’t be there cuz most guys will try to and then you get a guy like Draymond that try to beat you to the spot and char you spin off of Dre put his body like he’ll get going to take a char. Then you got some guys that’ll try to mush down to do this you just got to move him. It’s like move and then if he if he stops you from dunking it should be your it should be your hook. Mhm. You need one. Ready? Drive it. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Handle. Handle. Got it. Free throw. Good. From here, coach, we’re going to be getting back to the J. Yep. On that bump, I want to be able to bump him first as you going that low bump here. Now, step right through him. One, two. Off the dribble is tougher than catching it from here. split right there. And it’s the same on a catch and being able to step right through. That first bump slows most people down. We don’t want that to slow you down. Watch how my body flow on that. Let it go. Yeah. We’ll start you here. You’re trying to get to the J base. It’s going to be in and out. Let’s walk through in and out. Yep. Between drop. Nope. You didn’t drop. Hey, the reason why I put it between the legs cuz I want that shoulder to go here. And then you’re gonna jump stop in space. Watch. Boom. And jump stop. Step through. Yeah. But that’s a move. That’s a bump move. So let’s get this down right here, man. Stay low. We’re going to bump. So the twins, right? Yep. The between low bump. Nah. Take up that space. Take that one more dribble. Solid. Right. Ah. Yeah. You can move me. You can you can move me easy. That shoulder. It’s that bump and step to I’m creating that contact. You’re creating it every time. Every time. One, two, bump right there. You see how tight you got? Bam. Because when I move you, I’m going to move you and I’m going to go the other way. Yep. Yep. And the jump shot stop takes space so you’re not even running me over base. Ready? Right there. You see what I’m saying? That bump that bump is the most important cuz even if you catch here and we here and now I got to take a dribble. I I’m going to drop that shoulder. Even though I didn’t cross over, I’m dropping the shoulder. Now I can bump and get through. So now on that split game, I want to bump split here. Bump. I’m going to be there. Left hand hook right back to it. Yep. Control it. Drive it. One, two, boom. Step. Left hand hook right there. Got it. Perfect. That’s good. Hey, that’s good. So now step around. You get your left hand hook. Stay low. Now get around. You get that left or you can split and jump off the two. Ready? Stay low on your drive. Come on. I’m here. Here. Oh. Stay low. Balance. There it is. Kobe out. Bump. Quick feed. I’m going to go right to the end part of it. Body up, coach. Yeah, you got body up. I run you over. Okay. B up. Step. Watch. Coach hands. Back out. Try to stay down. Keep your base though. Base. There you go. One, two. Up. Up. Swipe. Swipe. Good. Free throw. There you go. Yeah. Gas. So we going split game on the piece. So here same work your hand. Look at my base. So my handle base that way. You moving and you moving. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jumps right there. See? And that’s the pace I want you. So you can just move me but it don’t have to be fast. That ain’t where we at. We work cuz this could be the same as this. If you’re a guard, he coming off pick and roll. Now he going to try to catch you. He It’s the same. So as you moving it, you’ll be able to get it ready. So if they stand up, they stand you up. Yeah, that’s because they’ll catch you like this and you doing this trying to play too. Oh, they going to press up on you. Yeah, always. You got to be a dribble up one. Shoot little shoulder up. Boom. Step through. Got it. Perfect. One. Nice. This one will get to your hook. Focus on moving me. I’mma stand right in there. Yep. Yep. Get to your two foot hook. I’mma stand right there though. Tap tap. Move. Boom. Step one. B. There it is. Good. Good. Now counter that with the step around. Keep attacking. Focus on your bump. Focus on your bump. Bump. Say up. Up. Press. Got it. Perfect.
