How it works

Lift Shooting: 1 on the right wing with the ball, 2 in the right corner, both guarded. 1 drives baseline; 2's defender steps in to help.

  1. 1 on the right wing with the ball, 2 in the right corner, both guarded.
  2. 1 drives baseline; 2's defender steps in to help.
  3. 2 lifts up behind the help defender into the passer's eyes.
  4. Kick out, catch, shoot. Drive goes away from you? Drift to the corner.

Coaching tips

Move when the help moves. Lift behind the helper's back, so he can't see you and the passer can.
