Basketball is a very popular team ball game today. Millions of people around the world know her and love her. Basketball attracts with its speed, dynamics and entertainment. Objectively, the best basketball team is the United States, and there (in the USA) is the strongest league - the NBA, which contains the best players.
Tactics
Basketball tactics are very important, especially if we are not talking about the initial level. A team game, it does not decide the outcome of a single player’s action, the matches of the team with the right tactics are won. Basketball team tactics can be divided into:
Both options take place. Of course, attacking basketball is more reckless, spectacular and speedy, but sometimes it is just defensive pragmatic tactics that help to win the most important victories.
Offensive tactics
The whole game comes down to setting special tactics in an attack in basketball. Players attack with the whole team, play a very dynamic pass, take their colleagues to the throws, aggressively go for the ball, pressure if possible after losing the ball, and do not go to the defense of the whole team. Such tactics of the game require very good physical preparation, because it is very difficult to actively attack and pressure an opponent throughout the game.
In the amateur version, such a technique and tactics of playing basketball is not too widespread. Due to the not very high level of preparation of the team's players, everything comes down to exchanging throws between opponents. If the team that chose the attacking tactics for themselves is not very prepared in the physical plane, then after 5-10 minutes at a high pace it will begin to fail in defense.
Basketball: defense tactics
You need to defend yourself in basketball correctly. Correctly set defensive tactics will lead the opponent into a stupor, deprive him of creativity in the attack, sometimes it can be fatal for teams that attack a lot, beautifully and variably. Of course, defense is not as spectacular in basketball as an attack, but the result is the match, not the beauty.
Among fans, defensive tactics are not very common, because everyone wants to score goals, and only a few are engaged in rough work. But if we are talking about high-level amateur basketball or a professional game, then such tactics often take place.
Sometimes teams switch from one version of the game tactics to another right during the match, depending on the development of events on the site. Sometimes it’s useful to save energy in defense, leading large, in the end to squeeze the opponent and deprive him of any opportunity to play. There can be many options for choosing defense to the detriment of the attack and vice versa.
Basketball Tactics Training
All the technique of the game is put in training. Tactics are practiced there. It can be just exercises with elements of attack or defense, or it can be a two-way training game according to different schemes with the development of movements. In any case, tactical actions should be set for a coach who has sufficient experience, it is advisable to do this for the formed teams at an early age. It is important for children to understand the basics and master them. At an older age, it will be possible to adjust everything, but tactics should be set in childhood.
Game technique
Basketball technique and tactics are two very closely related concepts. Technical players quickly switch from defensive to attacking and vice versa, changing the pace and actively spoiling the game for opponents. But in the case of lame equipment, it’s very difficult to play well at all, and even more so to somehow prevent an opponent from doing it, who can always beat one in one or even one in two.
For this reason, it’s also from childhood that it is important to lay down the technique of playing basketball. This is done by grueling workouts. There is no other option. Of course, there are gifted players by nature, but if the skill is not honed in training, then very soon those basketball players who by nature didn’t have such good data will not only be aligned, but will also go far ahead. Talent is something that needs to be guarded and honed constantly.
Tactics Examples
Consider some of the various options for attacking basketball tactics. If a team has chosen attacking actions as its priority, then there may also be several options. For example:
- quick pass;
- fast breakthrough;
- passages under the ring.
There are many more attack options, they can be combined, modified, but consider these basic ones.
A quick pass is an instant pass of the ball because of its front line to a teammate who just as quickly went on the attack and opened up on half of the opponent. Sometimes several partners can go into the breakthrough, who can stretch out the defenders of the opponent among themselves if one of them has managed to react and tried to return to the defense.
A quick break is an option when a quick attack does not begin with a long pass, but with a short one and continues with technical dribbling and reaching the opponent’s basket. Very often, quick pass and breakout tactics can be combined in various ways.
Passes under the ring are organized during a planned attack, with players placed in positions. Further, with the help of the plowing, such a situation is created for one of the players when he gets free space to complete the pass. Sometimes teammates help a passing player by setting up a screen for the defenders of an opponent.
Total
This level is primarily a tactic of playing basketball, and not run one of the players across the court in an attempt to beat all opponents and attack the opponent’s basket from any position. Although very often at the amateur level such a sad situation is observed.
A relatively average class team will always beat more skillful opponents if they act according to the chosen tactics. All this provided that rivals whose class is higher will randomly pull the game upon themselves, without having a common idea and outlook on the situation. There are many examples of such actions. Basketball is a dynamic and lively game that sports lovers will surely enjoy.
