Plays

		There are thousands of plays designed to result in a basket. There are also plays for defense, these plays are to keep the other team from scoring. Usually, in plays every player has a specific role or duty. If these players do not perform there duties in some instances the whole play can fall apart with may result in poor defense or an easy handover.
	There's one play called a Pick and Roll. The pick and roll involves two offensive players working together, one of these players has the ball. This play can work from anywhere on the court and any 2 of the 5 players can work it. The player dribbling heads in the way of their teammate. While the defensive player is focused on dribbling he might not see the other offensive player behind him setting the pick. To set a pick you plant you feet firmly with the middle of your chest lined up with the shoulder of the defender. After the pick pivot off your left foot and drive down had into the lane. This play gets the dribbler open for a lay up if the dribbler get stuck a quick overhead pass in the key would be ideal.

		Another play is called is called a back-door. The back-door is perfect to use on your defender when he's playing overly aggressive. Any two players can execute this play, like the pick and roll it can be used anywhere on the court and its best on a man to man defense.
	This play is best when you don't have the ball, your trying to get open for the pass but your defender is being overly aggressive. This means that the defender is playing to close to the offender. To break free or make this play work the offender player should take two quick steps toward, just when the defender catches up stop and cut strong into the basket. If the pass is made quickly, very few defenders can catch up, Even if they do catch up now you are in the position that would have your body between the defender and the basket.
