Best remedy to getting blocked is to cut off of screens harder and get there before your defender can. If the defense is still in your face use a pump fake or fake a pass. I know from experience that changing your shot takes a lot of time, you should stick with what you are comfortable with and what goes in the hoop. Don't change your shot style, change the way you cut and come off screens.

don't shoot from your chest because, first of all, ur shot can be easily blocked. Secondly, it makes ur shot more flat. What u need to do is shoot with ur elbow in, and follow through when u shoot the ball.

pump fake will always help and if its not a jump shot try doing a jump shot and if it is set your feet and jump higher work on your leg strength.

Pump fakes, and shoot higher...don't telegraph your shot.
