When you’re guarding the ball it’s very important that the player you’re guarding isn’t comfortable. So here’s a short tip that you should be doing on defense to make the offensive player uncomfortable especially if they’re a faster player. What you’re going to want to do is back up and then get closer to make them think they have room and then taking it away, be careful not to foul or run into the player but this is a good trick because it will force the player into taking shots that aren’t there because you take the space away immediately and also force drives. Make sure you’re being very aggressive and having active hands as well with this just like every other time on defense and don’t back up too far for them to take a shot or get too close to pick up a foul.
