how can i improve on driving the lane in bball?

Question

im about 5'5 but im quick, im athletic too. but only weight about 110

Answer 1

size means nothing....but you have to finish with a shot or pass. Practice keeping your head up and knowing where your teamates are while you drive. Also learn how to use the quick floater shot in the lane, this will keep larger guys from blocking you.....As far as getting around your man to get into yhe lane....star with the basic moves...
CROSSOVER
STUTTER STEP
CHANGE OF PACE
SPIN
IN AND OUT

AND YOUR DRIBBLING BEHIND YOUR BACK, LEGS
MIX AND MATCH THESE TO LEARN WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU...

Answer 2

Driving the ball in the lane is not easy. First of all you have to be quick, which i'm sure you are. Quickness irritates the defender espcially when you burn them every single time. If you can't drive it in the lane, then use some fakes, see what the defender does first. If the defender falls for it, then you have a wide open lane. Make a fake, the defender will fall for it and be unbalanced and then attack the basket before the defender recovers. To do this, this also mean having good ball handling. If you lose the ball while dribbling that means you definitely need to practice more. Some drills will be dribbling with two balls, play knock out dribbling there are many dribbling drills out there. Once you got the dribbling down, then you can pound the ball in the lane and have a layup. Even if there is someone there, there is a good chance that you will get fouled and shoot freethrows.

GOOD LUCK!!!

it matters how you attack the basket. the most important thing you need to have is identifying when to take it to the hoop. if you defender goes after the ball trying to steal it or poke it away try to keep your dribble low and to the ground, and close to you protecting arm and shield with your body... if you're as fast as you say you are then lure the defender close to you by using a slow methodical dribble and blow by him/her as they're coming towards you, causing them to back peddle or get off balanced. make sure you work on your mid-range game. if you don't have that then they'll stay firmly in front of you, but if you show that you can hit a mid-range shot than they'll be forced to come at you, which will let you be able to pump fake, juke, or head fake and take it hard to the rack, or it will cause them to break up the defense preventing you from getting inside in the lane. practice hard and soft dribbling... pratice speed dribbling... force yourself to dribble with your off (non natural) hand so you can change speeds and directions without turning the ball over. as for you height and weight... well height is always going to be an issue, but you can use it to you advantage. getting stronger though will allow you to take a hit when you're in the air, and allow you to finish with strength.

i know there is a lot more out there for you to learn to make yourself a better baller... so study... watch how they smaller guys in the league and in college get it done. take it with you to the court and you 'll get better soon enough.

good luck baller!

Answer 4

its really good that u r quick. if u have good handles, that can be used to ur advantage as well. but most importantly, think like a defender. if u think like u were a defender, u can predict ur nxt move, and use that to choose the move u want to use while driving to the basket. think like a defender, u will be able to outsmart just about any player.

Answer 5

Practice, repetition, but also learn how to run as fast as you can while dribbling so you can use your advantage.

Answer 6

put on some weight hit the gym those shots will be allot easier.

Answer 7

You run and dribble at the same time.

Answer 8
