| Most
experienced players feel that there is no shot that can be
hit by players at the net that they cannot return, either
off the deck or off the screens, with the possible exception
of the occasional crease shot, if they are in position when
the team at the net hits the shot. Therefore experienced players
in the backcourt feel comfortable to the point of feeling
they are really the team on offense, that there is no way
the team at the net can beat them except if they make an error
on a shot they should be able to make or if they are out of
position. By hitting lobs that hang in the air for four seconds
before being hit by their opponents, they will never be out
of position. |
So work
on lobbing as high as the lights and use the time to get yourself
back into position. Don’t aim your lobs too deep, or
you will give away too many points by lobbing some shots over
the baseline, an unpardonable sin. Most experienced players
will tell you that the height of the lob is more important
than the depth. |
