Whats your 'Go to' move?
I play a little social ball and a nice move i like to use when facing the bad end of a fast break is what i call the gap buster.
Now this can only work in social were people only think they can dribble and still look up.
The idea is just to run slowly backwards, facing the ballhandler of a fast break as they come towards you..
Then once they cross the half court, watch them, and as soon as they look away from you, stop running backwards and take a couple of quick steps towards them, and stop dead for a charge.
You can actually close a 5m gap in a split second by doing this and if you timed it right they never see it til they are caught in it.
Most social players will do one of the following;
1/Lose the handle completely
2/Throw the pass out of bounds
3/Crash into me for a charge (gotta put your arms across your chest in the proper stance and fall if you wanna get the call...)
4/Pick up their dribble- at which point you have to get all over them so they can't move the ball on before help arrives.
5/make the split second pass and get the assist. (i never said it worked every time..)
-WARNING- If you don't get the timing right they will dribble round you real easy and make you look like a real chump.
Any other people with 'go to' social moves to share?
