so in today's video I'm going to teach

8
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:18,280
you the ins and outs of setting up your

9
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,230
teammates and getting those easy assists

10
00:00:20,230 --> 00:00:21,820
as a basketball player the more you can

17
00:00:30,129 --> 00:00:31,959
of my number one scoring workout this is

18
00:00:31,959 --> 00:00:32,799
going to change the way you think about

19
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:34,180
your training and probably increase your

20
00:00:34,180 --> 00:00:35,860
scoring average overnight so you pair

21
00:00:35,860 --> 00:00:37,030
that with the dime school and going to

22
00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:38,980
be an unstoppable player all right let's

23
00:00:38,980 --> 00:00:40,270
jump right into it and learn how you can

24
00:00:40,270 --> 00:00:47,050
drop some dimes today so the passive the

25
00:00:47,050 --> 00:00:48,250
very first thing is you want to be on

26
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:50,110
the lookout for is what we call passing

27
00:00:50,110 --> 00:00:52,180
windows and a window is basically just

28
00:00:52,180 --> 00:00:53,530
open space that you can sit the ball

29
00:00:53,530 --> 00:00:54,940
through to get it to a teammate now

30
00:00:54,940 --> 00:00:56,260
finding the windows isn't really the

31
00:00:56,260 --> 00:00:57,790
hard part but knowing when to put the

32
00:00:57,790 --> 00:00:59,470
basketball through the windows can be a

33
00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:01,120
little bit difficult so once you find a

34
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,380
passing window the next thing you need

35
00:01:02,380 --> 00:01:04,300
to do is analyze where your teammates at

36
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:05,890
and where they're moving too many times

37
00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:07,330
they're probably not wide open in the

38
00:01:07,330 --> 00:01:09,009
passing window and so you've got to lead

39
00:01:09,009 --> 00:01:10,540
them through the passing window to where

40
00:01:10,540 --> 00:01:11,860
you want them to go so next you have to

41
00:01:11,860 --> 00:01:13,180
analyze how you're going to throw your

42
00:01:13,180 --> 00:01:14,500
pass through the window now a lot of

43
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:15,700
times this is going to depend on where

44
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:17,140
the defenders are at and how your

45
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:18,940
offensive player or teammate is moving

46
00:01:18,940 --> 00:01:20,560
now one handy trick especially when

47
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,540
fitting it in tight windows is to throw

48
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:24,580
a bounce pass that's low and bounces

49
00:01:24,580 --> 00:01:26,980
right by the feet of the defenders by

50
00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:28,029
throwing it low through the window and

51
00:01:28,029 --> 00:01:29,170
makes it really hard for the defenders

52
00:01:29,170 --> 00:01:30,730
to bend over and get a hand on the pass

53
00:01:30,730 --> 00:01:32,529
so a lot of times you see them sneak by

54
00:01:32,529 --> 00:01:34,150
now once you start looking for these

55
00:01:34,150 --> 00:01:35,110
windows you're going to start seeing

56
00:01:35,110 --> 00:01:36,640
them all over the court you're going to

57
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,840
see them in transition you're going to

58
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,250
see them running your offenses off the

59
00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:40,930
attack dribble drive but a lot of times

60
00:01:40,930 --> 00:01:42,070
you're going to see them a ton out of a

61
00:01:42,070 --> 00:01:43,480
pick-and-roll and that's really one

62
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,620
reason why pick-and-rolls can be so

63
00:01:44,620 --> 00:01:46,420
devastating is because many times coming

64
00:01:46,420 --> 00:01:47,230
out of it you're gonna have multiple

65
00:01:47,230 --> 00:01:49,150
tapping windows to work with and the

66
00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:50,200
more windows you have the more likely

67
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,730
you are to make a play and get that

68
00:01:51,730 --> 00:01:53,740
assist I have to remember key number one

69
00:01:53,740 --> 00:01:56,020
is to locate those tapping windows key

70
00:01:56,020 --> 00:01:57,580
number two is read your teammate and see

71
00:01:57,580 --> 00:01:59,169
if they're moving into the window and

72
00:01:59,169 --> 00:02:00,190
key number three is and make sure you

73
00:02:00,190 --> 00:02:01,660
fit it through the window away from

74
00:02:01,660 --> 00:02:04,950
where the defense can get a hand on it

75
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:12,190
[Music]

76
00:02:13,058 --> 00:02:15,200
now a lot of players don't realize that

77
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,340
your eyes are one of the most powerful

78
00:02:16,340 --> 00:02:17,990
tools you have in your arsenal when it

79
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:19,429
comes to setting up your teammates for

80
00:02:19,429 --> 00:02:21,230
easy basket and when you use them

81
00:02:21,230 --> 00:02:22,730
properly it's actually incredibly easy

82
00:02:22,730 --> 00:02:24,350
to manipulate the defense to give you

83
00:02:24,350 --> 00:02:26,179
those open looks now most of the time oh

84
00:02:26,179 --> 00:02:27,710
look off works best when you have two

85
00:02:27,710 --> 00:02:29,660
offensive players and one defensive

86
00:02:29,660 --> 00:02:31,190
player in between them so all you have

87
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:32,509
to do is look at the player that you

88
00:02:32,509 --> 00:02:34,039
don't actually want to pass the ball to

89
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:35,270
and it's usually going to freeze the

90
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:37,460
defender or make them chase that player

91
00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:38,810
that you're looking at and many times

92
00:02:38,810 --> 00:02:40,399
even just a split second freeze is the

93
00:02:40,399 --> 00:02:41,899
difference between an open finish and

94
00:02:41,899 --> 00:02:43,399
not so check out on this plate as

95
00:02:43,399 --> 00:02:45,050
Schroeder begins to drive he brings his

96
00:02:45,050 --> 00:02:46,730
eye gaze out to the three-point line

97
00:02:46,730 --> 00:02:48,800
this causes LeBron James to react and

98
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,509
open up the path you window even more

99
00:02:50,509 --> 00:02:52,250
for the backdoor cut so then all you

100
00:02:52,250 --> 00:02:53,509
have to do is drop it through the window

101
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:55,520
and it's an easy bucket from there if

102
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,420
you can always be on the lookout for

103
00:02:56,420 --> 00:02:57,950
that one defensive players trying to

104
00:02:57,950 --> 00:02:59,599
cover two offensive players you're in a

105
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:01,310
great position and use your eyes to fake

106
00:03:01,310 --> 00:03:03,289
them out now once you master the skill

107
00:03:03,289 --> 00:03:04,970
it's incredible how easy it is to

108
00:03:04,970 --> 00:03:06,470
manipulate pretty much any defender at

109
00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:08,270
any point in time just by looking off

110
00:03:08,270 --> 00:03:10,129
the opposite direction this is probably

111
00:03:10,129 --> 00:03:11,270
one of the main reasons why guys like

112
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:13,460
Ricky Rubio are such phenomenal passers

113
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:14,780
well it's really cool it doesn't take

114
00:03:14,780 --> 00:03:16,849
any extra athletic ability or talent to

115
00:03:16,849 --> 00:03:18,619
be able to do this kind of passing you

116
00:03:18,619 --> 00:03:19,670
just have to use your head and think

117
00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:30,259
about the play as it's developing now

118
00:03:30,259 --> 00:03:31,759
one major mistake that a lot of young

119
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:32,930
players make when passing the basketball

120
00:03:32,930 --> 00:03:34,099
is that they're passing the ball to

121
00:03:34,099 --> 00:03:35,869
where their man's at not where they're

122
00:03:35,869 --> 00:03:37,220
going and because there's so much

123
00:03:37,220 --> 00:03:38,420
movement on a basketball court it's

124
00:03:38,420 --> 00:03:39,259
really important that you're leaving

125
00:03:39,259 --> 00:03:41,180
your teammate to that open area that way

126
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:43,009
they get a great look at the basket so

127
00:03:43,009 --> 00:03:44,149
much like we talked about earlier with

128
00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:45,890
the passing windows here to lead your

129
00:03:45,890 --> 00:03:47,689
teammate you want to think about open

130
00:03:47,689 --> 00:03:49,580
spaces and by that I mean open area to

131
00:03:49,580 --> 00:03:51,050
the floor where there are no defenders

132
00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:52,340
where your teammates are running too

133
00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:53,960
many times by targeting your pass for

134
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,610
the open space instead of the open

135
00:03:55,610 --> 00:03:56,599
teammate it's going to allow you to

136
00:03:56,599 --> 00:03:58,219
leave them just right so that they get a

137
00:03:58,219 --> 00:04:00,050
really great looks basket so one thing

138
00:04:00,050 --> 00:04:01,730
that can help is target a specific spot

139
00:04:01,730 --> 00:04:02,719
on the floor that you're going to throw

140
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:04,129
the basketball to and just let your

141
00:04:04,129 --> 00:04:05,719
teammate run underneath it because if

142
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:07,069
you can make it so your teammate doesn't

143
00:04:07,069 --> 00:04:08,149
have to slow down to catch the

144
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:09,319
basketball they're going to get that

145
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:11,210
much better of a look so lead your man

146
00:04:11,210 --> 00:04:12,980
and drop it on a spot and you should be

147
00:04:12,980 --> 00:04:15,310
good to go

148
00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:23,348
now a ton of players missed assist

149
00:04:23,348 --> 00:04:24,848
opportunities just holding on to the

150
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:26,590
basketball too long and not making quick

151
00:04:26,590 --> 00:04:28,210
decisions because basketball such a

152
00:04:28,210 --> 00:04:29,560
fast-paced games you can get the ball

153
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,970
out of your hands quickly generally

154
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:32,170
that's going to set your man up better

155
00:04:32,170 --> 00:04:34,030
for an open look so one thing that can

156
00:04:34,030 --> 00:04:35,110
help is if you get in the habit of

157
00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:36,970
reading the floor as the pass is coming

158
00:04:36,970 --> 00:04:38,470
to you so check it on display as the

159
00:04:38,470 --> 00:04:40,240
ball being passed to Marcus self his

160
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,740
eyes are already starting to drift to

161
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:43,090
see where his teammates are at and

162
00:04:43,090 --> 00:04:44,110
because of that he's able to make a

163
00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:45,490
quick decision as soon as the ball hits

164
00:04:45,490 --> 00:04:47,290
his hands that way he catches the

165
00:04:47,290 --> 00:04:49,180
defense off guard now just this little

166
00:04:49,180 --> 00:04:50,770
trick alone is good enough to get you an

167
00:04:50,770 --> 00:04:52,840
extra two or three assisted games just

168
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:53,770
by getting the ball out of your hands

169
00:04:53,770 --> 00:04:55,570
quickly before the defense is set or

170
00:04:55,570 --> 00:04:57,250
rotated and the best part about this is

171
00:04:57,250 --> 00:04:58,840
that it coaches absolutely love when you

172
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:00,400
make quick decisions with the basketball

173
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,050
because again like we mentioned the

174
00:05:02,050 --> 00:05:03,460
faster your decisions the faster it's

175
00:05:03,460 --> 00:05:04,720
going to make the defense move and the

176
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,100
more out of position they're probably

177
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:07,780
going to be so if you train yourself to

178
00:05:07,780 --> 00:05:09,550
make faster decisions not only are you

179
00:05:09,550 --> 00:05:10,600
going to get more assists but you're

180
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,680
probably going to get more playing time

181
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,970
because even if you're not technically

182
00:05:12,970 --> 00:05:15,100
getting that stat as an assist you're

183
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:16,000
still going to be setting up your

184
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,500
teammates and keeping the offense moving

185
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:19,180
to work on reading your teammates as the

186
00:05:19,180 --> 00:05:20,260
balls in the air coming to you and

187
00:05:20,260 --> 00:05:21,430
you're going to be able to make faster

188
00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:23,460
decisions

189
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,210
[Music]

190
00:05:30,090 --> 00:05:32,200
all right so next is probably one of the

191
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,670
most overlooked things and that's

192
00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:35,559
knowing your target and by that I mean

193
00:05:35,559 --> 00:05:36,999
being aware of what your teammates are

194
00:05:36,999 --> 00:05:38,589
good and bad at on the basketball court

195
00:05:38,589 --> 00:05:40,630
so take this next play for example a

196
00:05:40,630 --> 00:05:42,400
Steph Curry drives in he notices that he

197
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,930
has Harrison Barnes wide open in the

198
00:05:43,930 --> 00:05:45,400
corner now Harrison is a pretty good

199
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,839
knock down wide open three-point shooter

200
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,610
so this is a great opportunity for an

201
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:50,260
assist but let's say the player in that

202
00:05:50,260 --> 00:05:51,430
position wasn't a good three-point

203
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:52,930
shooter it'd probably be better for

204
00:05:52,930 --> 00:05:54,670
curry to take the layup so just by

205
00:05:54,670 --> 00:05:55,749
knowing your teammates you can actually

206
00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:57,490
figure out if the passes a good pass or

207
00:05:57,490 --> 00:05:59,170
a bad pass depending on their skill set

208
00:05:59,170 --> 00:06:00,760
you know are they good at catching the

209
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,930
ball on the run are they good at

210
00:06:01,930 --> 00:06:03,100
finishing where you're going to give it

211
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:03,490
to them

212
00:06:03,490 --> 00:06:04,689
those are all things you want to think

213
00:06:04,689 --> 00:06:06,279
about so let's take this next play for

214
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,110
example on the made free throws let's

215
00:06:08,110 --> 00:06:09,040
we're going to take the ball out of

216
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,570
bounds and check it deep down the court

217
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:12,040
to Kevin Durant now this is a great path

218
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,510
because number one Kevin grant is work

219
00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:14,650
tall so he's going to be able to go up

220
00:06:14,650 --> 00:06:16,240
and get it and number two he's also

221
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,890
great at scoring in transition so it's

222
00:06:17,890 --> 00:06:19,330
another great look but just think of it

223
00:06:19,330 --> 00:06:20,860
with somebody like Anthony Roberson on

224
00:06:20,860 --> 00:06:22,330
this play instead of Kevin Durant it's

225
00:06:22,330 --> 00:06:23,890
probably not a pass it's going to be as

226
00:06:23,890 --> 00:06:25,749
high reward and so it's just this tip

227
00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:26,830
alone you're going to be able to not

228
00:06:26,830 --> 00:06:28,630
only get more assists but also limit

229
00:06:28,630 --> 00:06:30,219
your turnovers when I used to play I

230
00:06:30,219 --> 00:06:31,450
used to know that there were specific

231
00:06:31,450 --> 00:06:32,740
players that I couldn't throw specific

232
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:33,730
passes to because they just weren't

233
00:06:33,730 --> 00:06:35,170
going to be able to catch the ball so

234
00:06:35,170 --> 00:06:36,580
although path may look open if your

235
00:06:36,580 --> 00:06:37,510
teammate doesn't have the skill

236
00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:39,490
dexterity or hand-eye coordination to

237
00:06:39,490 --> 00:06:41,170
catch the basketball it's not a good

238
00:06:41,170 --> 00:06:42,430
path to make so think about your

239
00:06:42,430 --> 00:06:43,839
teammates skill and that's going to help

240
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,520
you out a ton in determining what passes

241
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,430

249
00:06:58,420 --> 00:06:59,740
can get to it and if you need a shot

258
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,310
because it's really going to kind of

259
00:07:12,310 --> 00:07:13,330
change the way you think about your

260
00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:14,410
training and probably increase your

261
00:07:14,410 --> 00:07:15,880
scoring average the very first time use

262
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,980
