How to be a shooting guard in basketball

USA Basketball - 7 Habits of Successful Shooting Guards

Most parents hang kids' school papers on the refrigerator, but mine were different. Our fridge had some awful looking off-white, lined paper that had corners missing and had less ink on it now than most new paper.

It wasn't some "A" I got on a paper in school or a 100 percent on a spelling test, but rather a simple white-lined paper which hung from our refrigerator. What was on it were simple thoughts and principles that helped put me in the right mindset to be able to play with the minimalist of energy.

It paired down the game to a bare minimum with things like:

• Use both hands
• Change speed and change direction
• Pay attention to space

Recently, I read one of the most influential books I've ever touched: Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The fascinating thing about this book is that it helps to guide you in finding what it is that is needed to make yourself happy, complete, and successful. It doesn't tell you to do X on day one and Y on day two. But what it does do is give you principles to help figure that out.

As I reflected back on 15-plus years of competing in basketball I couldn't help but think that a quick checklist (much like my father made for me) would be helpful. The beauty of this checklist is that you don't have to be a star to apply the principles. You don't have to run a motion offense or play man-to-man defense. The principles I outline below can be applied to any shooting guard regardless of height, speed, shooting ability, or athletic giftedness. Enjoy:

Know Where You're Best

As simple as it sounds, one of the biggest differences between high-level shooting guards and "good" shooting guards is often a difference of understanding. Good shooting guards take whatever the defense gives them. High-level shooting guards find ways to get the shots that they're best at. Put yourself in the positions on the court where you're most successful. If you like receiving the ball coming off of the left wing, find ways to set yourself up there more often.

Get Good at the Opposite

If you're great at going right, get great at going left. Love to shoot a pull-up? Get great at catching and shooting. For every move you have, you need a counterpart that complements the move. If you drive to your right effectively, add a pull-up to your game. You don't need lots of moves, you just need to be really good at a few moves.

If you have a good catch-and-shoot going right, make sure you have one going left. If you can drive to the basket, work on a pull-up. Oh, and did I mention these should be in your most effective positions on the court? Refer back to Habit 1.

Fast Food Theory

When you go into grab a quick meal at McDonalds you don't have the cashier guess what your order is do you? No, of course not! You tell them what you want. As a shooting guard you have to be the same way.

If you like the ball on the left wing, tell your point guard, tell your coach (who should already be aware of this) and tell your teammates. Don't make them guess where you want the ball, tell them. Make sure you're constantly communicating to your team on where you like the ball; what shots you prefer; what type of pass, etc. While they seem like little things, it's important to make the game as easy as possible for everyone, including yourself.

Master the Mid-Range

Lots of coaches these days tell kids to practice 3-point shots, free throws, and dribbling. Very few coaches (including some college coaches) remember to teach kids the art of the mid-range game (12-15 feet.). The mid-range game is the toughest to defend for a few reasons:

• Since very few players are good at using it offensively, rarely do they have to defend it anymore.
• Since there are a lot of shots and moves which can be used in that area, it makes it tough to know how close to defend someone.
• Defenders are taught to contest outside shots and stop lay-ups. Rarely is it mentioned what and how to stop pull-up jump shots and floaters.

If you can make open shots on the perimeter, have the threat of taking the ball to the basket, and then have the ability to pull-up in between both of those, you are nearly impossible to defend.

Learn How to Read Space

I tell basketball players I work with that they aren't open if they can't receive the ball. That means that just because you don't have someone within 10 feet of you doesn't mean you're open. In order to be open, learn to make yourself available to the basketball. That doesn't mean you have to be close to the basketball, but rather you have to have space to move into in order to receive the basketball.

Learning to read space takes practice (video demonstrations can be seen on TheUnguardables.com), but most importantly it takes an awareness. Pay attention to the movement during the game of basketball. In simple terms: people moving into space "takes" it, and people moving out of space "opens" it. Watch people and learn how to move into space after people make cuts, come off screens, and penetrate.

Learn to Score without Dribbling

If you want to be on the wings you need to learn how to score without having to put the ball on the deck. This includes reading screens and catching and shooting, but it also means that you must learn how to use jab steps, pivots, and ball/eye fakes. If you have to put the ball on the floor every time to create a shot you're going to be very ineffective on the wing. As soon as the help defense sees you dribble they are going to be ready to help. Learn to create your shots without dribbling and simply based off of how the defense plays you.

Simplify Your Shot

One of the best ways to become a more consistent (and quicker) shooter is by simplifying your shot. Make sure that every time you catch the ball you catch it in the shooting pocket with your arm angles already set (i.e. elbow bend already set). It also helps to learn the "bottom" position of your shot so that you aren't too high or too low when you're trying to get rid of the ball quickly.

I usually have people go to about a 1/2 squat and then adjust from there (bend your knees and lower as deep as you can go, now come back up about half way - this should be your hypothetical 1/2 squat). I always tell players that if you want to make more shots you should simplify what it is you're doing. The more "things" you have going on with your shot, the more that can go wrong; usually that equals inconsistency.

If you learn to master the above seven habits you will be one very efficient and effective shooting guard. You won't have any holes in your game (offensively at least), and you'll find that it's a whole lot easier to dominate a game than you actually think.

Start by trying to implement one habit at a time; don't worry about bringing the next habit in until you make sure you can do the first habit without having to think about it. Once the habit is "habit," you can move on to the next one. By the time you finish implementing all seven habits your game will be at the next level!

Shooting guards are valuable players on a basketball team, who are known for making shots from beyond the three-point line and being one of the primary players responsible for stealing balls on defense. The shooting guard is also known by the abbreviation “SG,” and is occasionally referred to as the “two,” the “two guard,” or the “off guard.”

Role and Responsibilities

Shooting guards are important players on a basketball team. As a shooting guard, you should be a strong shooter around the perimeter of the court. Like every position, the shooting guard must be able to transition between offense and defense efficiently.

When their team is on offense, the shooting guard is responsible for shooting the ball, and making baskets from beyond the three-point line. When their team is on defense, the shooting guard is responsible for getting rebounds, and guarding opposing players.

Types of Shooting Guards

There are four main types of shooting guards in basketball, which are:

• Off-Guards
• Wing Players
• Combo Guards
• Swingmen

Off-Guards

Shooting guards are also known as off-guards. Off-guards make treys from an area of the court called downtown.

Wing Players

Shooting guards are known as wing players because they play in the wings and corners of the court.

Combo Guards

Occasionally, despite their primary positioning on the downtown and wings, shooting guards will be asked to bring up the ball when their team is on offense. Shooting guards who perform both of these duties are sometimes referred to as “combo guards,” because they are more versatile.

Swingmen

A swingman is a player who can play both small forward and shooting guard. It's not uncommon to see a small forward switch to shooting guard and vice versa.

The stats that are important measures of success for a good shooting guard are scores, assists, and rebounds:

Scores

Obviously, points-scored is the primary stat that shooting guards want to improve. The more points a player scores, the better their team does, and the better their prospects are in general regarding things like contracts, trades, and sponsorships.

Assists

Aside from scoring, assists are another important stat for shooting guards. Assists are great for improving team unity, and of course result in points. A shooting guard who can participate in assists will be seen as a team player, someone who is good at communicating with teammates and who understands how to respond to the constantly-shifting scenarios of the game.  

Rebounds

Rebounds are a final important statistic for shooting guards. As players who position themselves near the hoop, shooting guards are in a prime position to make rebounds and convert them into offensive points. A great shooting guard will be able to spot potential rebounds, get into position to receive them, and then capitalize on them in order to get points.

Top NBA Shooting Guards

The following lists some of the top shooting guards in the NBA by team:

FAQ

What shooting guard has the most points all-time?

Amongst all shooting guards, Kobe Bryant has the most points with a total of 32,382.  Bryant scored every single one of those points as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, and he is widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

What is the difference between a shooting guard and a point guard?

The main difference between a shooting guard and a point guard are the style in which each position plays. Point guards are typically facilitators who run the offense through great dribbling and passing, whereas shooting guards are often the best shooter on their team. Point guards are more so facilitating players while the best shooting guards are scoring machines.

What does a shooting guard need to be good at?

The most essential skills found in a great shooting guard are the ability to shoot from distance and defend on the perimeter. The ability of a shooting guard to effectively hit three-point shots allows them to be a scoring weapon for their team. Additionally, their ability to defend against the three-point shot enables them to shut down opposing guards looking to rack up points from beyond the arc.

Comprehensive characteristics of the qualities and abilities of back-line players in basketball — NovaInfo 64

Annotation

The article discusses the necessary qualities and abilities of a point guard and an attacking defender in terms of the specifics of their functions.

Keywords

POINT GUARD, POSITIONAL ATTACK, BASKETBALL, ATTACKING DEFENDER, QUICK BREAK, RESPONSIBILITIES OF DEFENDERS front row players), centers. At the same time, differentiation of functions within the game roles is observed. So, among the defenders, a point guard (first number) and an attacking or throwing [3] defender are singled out.

The main duties of the point guard - based on the ability to play the ball in combination, organize team actions, perform dispatching functions, manage the actions of partners in the attack, "assist" passes to create an opportunity for an aimed throw by the attackers, possess the ability to effectively perform throws from medium and long distances, organize counterattacks, be able to aggravate the game near the basket after a pass, in combination with deceitful movements, insure the rear, individually press the opponent if necessary, interact with partners in defense .

It is necessary to note the following requirements for the above role: the “point guard” player must be as active as possible in attack, be able to take over the game, i.e. be the business attack leader.

The main duties of the point guard are the clear guidance of the partners in the actions in the attack, in addition, the ability to complete the attack with a throw after passing to the basket. In defense, the main duties of the point guard are as follows: in the event of the loss of the ball by his team, preventing a quick counterattack; actions on the front approaches to your basket. At the same time, in addition to performing their traditional duties by the point guard, the following functions are distinguished in connection with the universalization of players of various roles: the ability to attack through tall players with a throw from under the ring after a high-speed pass, and besides this, activity in the fight for the rebound and finishing off the ball at the shield rivals .

In addition to the organization of the attack, the distribution of roles, the point guard must control the pace of the game. Based on the position that the point guard is the team’s dispatcher, therefore, the point guard on the court must implement all the coach’s ideas and correct the team members if their actions fall out of the tactical scheme. In view of this, the coach must select a point guard who shares his concept of the game.

First of all, the point guard is evaluated by the ability to create a situation that allows his team to score the ball into the opponents' basket, i.e. create an opportunity for teammates to shoot accurately. In addition, the main qualities for the point guard are coordination of movements and quick wits.

In addition, the point guard is characterized by an instant assessment of the situation for a modern transfer to partners. In other words, the effectiveness of attack actions (which include assists), and partly of defense (the effectiveness of interceptions) depends on the accuracy of anticipatory reactions. Among the set of qualities necessary for a point guard, control over the situation and maintaining composure are singled out [5].

One of the following requirements for the point guard's qualities is the obligation to know which of the members of the team will “play” by the time of the game and which will not, since depending on this, it is possible to make a more optimal choice when passing the ball in the final stages of the forwards the actions of your team.

The main factor of successful gaming communication between partners is the communicative nature of activities inherent in the players - "dispatchers" [1]. In this regard, the point guard must have organizational skills, a desire to cooperate with partners, a focus on interaction and creative initiative.

The point guard must be the most technical player on the team and be proficient in long-range shooting. At the same time, its functions are mainly related to maintaining a protective balance.

On the court, it is the point guard who implements the coach's tactical plan. As a leader, he must have authority over other players, have perfect technique, coordination, dribbling at high speed, be able to quickly and accurately make hidden passes of the ball. All this requires high efficiency, speed, endurance. As a point guard, he must react quickly and make the right decision, lead the team and at the same time not allow the opponent to use a fast break [6].

Among the individual skills of a point guard, the first place is the ability to choose the right solutions in a difficult situation and the ability to foresee a crisis situation.

In addition, a point guard in basketball must have a unique individual psychological profile:

1. be a team player, obey the interests of the team;
2. be able to concentrate;
3. be able to emotionally - positively influence the team;
4. to be collected and productive in extreme situations.

From the point guard's technical and tactical skills, first of all, perfect possession of the ball (driving with a change of direction, possession of a pass, dribbling and throwing) should be noted. The main technical characteristics of the point guard are dribbling, passing the ball, throwing. In addition, the point guard must be able to:

• in attack: pass the ball in a timely and accurate manner; use high-tech dribbling;
• in defense: be able to play against the leader of the opposing team; be able to play hard against the ball carrier.

Less significant for a point guard are such qualities as the ability to imagine and aggressiveness in the game.

A point guard should have fast, strong hands and high functionality, be cool and in control, be a highly technical player, and see his teammates. The playmaker is the conductor of the team, setting the pace of the game and determining its pattern. The point guard must first of all create a situation on the court that will allow his team to score the ball into the opponents' basket. He organizes the attack, distributes roles among his partners, making the transfer to the one who has the best opportunity to make an accurate throw.

The second back row player in basketball is the shooting guard (number two). His main duties are characteristic of the general duties of defenders: leading partners in attack, the ability to complete the attack with a positional throw or pass to the basket; when playing defensively, he must prevent a quick counter-attack and operate in the front line of defense at his basket.

In addition to the traditional duties of an attacking defender, they also distinguish the ability to attack through tall players after high-speed passes, as well as participation in the fight for the rebound and finishing the ball at the opponents' backboard.

The role of the attacking defender, in contrast to the point guard, who exercises the main control over the actions of the partners in the attack, is mainly according to D.I. Nesterovsky, in the delivery of three-point hits [4].

The role of an attacking defender requires the ability to get rid of guardians and consistently score points, the ability to fight under the shield for the rebounded ball. But at the same time, it should be noted that in addition to the need for highly specialized skills, an attacking player, including a defender, must be a generalist [4].

An attacking defender needs to be tall, be able to fight for a bounced ball, master shots from medium and long distances, be able to pass to the center, and interact with the wingers of the attack. The main responsibilities of the defenders are: inclusion in the fast break and its completion, leadership of partners in a positional attack, hitting the basket from a long distance and after the pass, picking up the ball that bounced off the backboard, and readiness for enemy counterattacks.

In a positional attack, the defenders primarily operate on the area of ​​the court adjacent to the arc of the free throw area.

During defensive actions, the following duties are assigned to the defenders: the first to enter the fight when the enemy counterattacks, neutralize opponents, secure the center.

Defenders in basketball are distinguished by the following set of qualities: mobility, endurance, prudence, attention, propensity for positional play, orientation in a game environment. At the same time, in order to successfully fulfill their duties in the attack, it is necessary: ​​to have tactical knowledge, leadership skills, the ability to put the ball into play, and excellent possession of the ball. To perform functions in defense, the back line players must master the technique of movement, possession of the ball, the ability to patronize the enemy and fight with a numerical superiority.

Defenders must quickly navigate in game situations, have initiative, endurance, and calmness. They are distinguished by high rates in terms of speed and speed endurance, attention parameters, visual field volume.

A modern back row player can bring his team no less points than attackers.

Among the factors influencing the effectiveness of the playing activity of defenders-basketball players, there are communicativeness, calmness, psychological and game factors [1].

M.S. Bril notes that in frequent cases, defenders-basketball players are the leaders of attacks, but at the same time, he still believes that their main role is organizational. In this regard, the most significant for the defenders will be speed and rationality in actions and interactions. In addition, it is important to note that the growth factor plays an important role [2].

The attacking defender must be as fast as possible, mobile and enduring, reasonable and attentive. The effectiveness of his playing actions is closely related to the indicators of sensorimotor response. The most integrative sensorimotor indicator is the "sense of time", which can be considered as a component of the special abilities of basketball players. The development of the “sense of time” is based on the activity of a complex of analyzers, since the perception of time is associated with spatial perception. Basketball players of different roles need to have a specialized perception of time intervals. The back row players should be well oriented in the intervals of 5-10 seconds, which is related to the organization of the game. In addition, the defender of the attacking plan must be distinguished by a fast jump, speed, endurance, and a well-developed shoulder girdle.

In addition to being tall, an attacking defender must be agile and flexible, be able to get away from guardians, and score points consistently. Ideally, the two defenders in the team five should differ in the way they play [5].

So, based on the specifics of the game role, back-line players in basketball should have the following set of abilities: dexterity, speed, jumping ability, endurance, starting speed, spatial accuracy of actions, dispatching functions, game organization, team management, a tendency to combination play, game intelligence, assists, rear insurance, ability to extrapolate, various parameters of attention, field of view, choice reaction, calmness, communication skills, prudence, balance.

Abstract. Modern basketball differs from all sports games in the specifics of the attacker's and defender's counteractions, the main feature of which is situationality - rather strict regulation by specific conditions of activity, rules and variability of game actions. In the process of counteractions between rival players, a complex technical and tactical activity is carried out, requiring the development of special qualities from basketball players. The result of this activity for the attacker is the ball hitting the basket, for the defender - the selection, covering or interception of the ball.
Keywords: technique, basketball, attacking actions.
Summary. Modern basketball is differ from all sports by the specific of counteracts of the cornerman and the guard, the main feature of which is the situation - rather rigid regulation of the specific conditions of activity, regulations, and variability of game actions. During the process of counteracts between the rival players there is performed complex technical and tactical activity that requires the development of special qualities of the players. The result of this activity for the cornerman is getting of the ball into the basket, for the guard - the dispossessing, blocking or intercepting the ball.
In competitive activities, the nature of the actions of an attacking basketball player is determined by the struggle with the defender and interactions with members of his team, is not regulated in advance and changes in accordance with the actions of partners and an opponent. At the same time, most of the attacking actions are performed with the counteractions of the defenders, which influence the distance from which the player attacks, the choice of the ball flight trajectory and the technique of motional actions in the attack. Therefore
The variety of game situations and defenders' actions constantly encourages attackers to look for new ways to attack the basket.
Despite the constant growth of the players' individual skill in attacking actions, defensive actions retain an advantage over them, especially when throwing the ball from medium and long distances [4].
In our opinion, the evolution of the technique of attacking actions and methods of performing throws takes place against the backdrop of increased defensive actions. Under these conditions, the importance of distance throws has increased, and the one-handed throw has become the most used attack method. In view of this, we will consider the features of performing the main element of attack in basketball - throwing the ball, under the conditions of opposition from defenders, and also characterize the attacking actions that are used when throwing the ball and allow you to successfully overcome the resistance of defenders. It is worth noting that by attacking actions we mean a set of methods and varieties of the technique of throwing the ball into the basket. Therefore, under the effectiveness of the throws, we mean the effectiveness of the attacking actions involved in the process of performing the throw.
Basketball is a game mainly for tall people, hence the jump shot is a response to covering the ball (block) and the growth superiority of the opponent. This underscores the obvious importance of the "defender factor" in creating opposition and influencing shot performance in basketball. On the other hand, the resistance jump basket throw is a complex technique, which is a quick martial art between an attacker and a defender in the air, when the first one makes a throw, and the second one does his best to prevent him. The essence of the technique of such a technique is that the attacker jumps up and slightly back, smoothly tilts his head. At this moment, the defender also jumps out, preparing to cover the ball. However, the attacker, without throwing, begins to land, bending his legs as he does so to increase the landing time. During this time, the defender, who is in the air, by inertia "flies" beyond the trajectory of the attacker and cannot significantly interfere with his further actions. Based on the foregoing, it follows that actions in attack and defense are interdependent and do not have advantages over each other. Therefore, when we say that the "defender factor" is dominant among other factors, we do not emphasize its predominance over offensive actions. Thus, we adhere to the point of view in which the defense system and the attack system are constantly dependent on each other, which allows them to develop without limit.
Over the years, the technique of throwing the ball has undergone significant changes. At the moment, experts are guided by the general structure of a specific method of throwing the ball into the basket, in which it is customary to distinguish three phases: preparatory, main, final [2, 7]. Based on this, a set of attacking actions that are used when throwing the ball, namely, throughout all its phases, is of interest.
Some researchers, in addition to the listed phases of the execution of the technique adopted in sports games, also distinguish a preliminary phase. It begins after the end of the previous game episode and continues during the player's movement to the place of action, until the beginning of the preparatory phase. At the same time, the characteristics of activity within each of the phases are considered, that is, tactical, technical, mental content [1]. It should be noted that the actions of basketball players in the preliminary phase of the throw are not sufficiently disclosed in the scientific and methodological literature and are mostly descriptive, which prompts the study of problem situations that arise in this phase.
There are four game situations that most often occur when throwing the ball under guardianship conditions:
1) the defender is relatively far from the attacker. There are no obstacles to the execution of a throw with the usual characteristics, i.e. the throw is carried out in "ideal conditions";
2) The defender is rapidly approaching the attacker taking the throw. There is a danger of sharp contact or covering of the ball. The player is forced to shoot faster than usual;
3) a tall bouncy defender guards at close range with a safety net by his partners of a possible pass. The attacker is forced to throw the ball with some increase in the trajectory of his flight;
4) the throw is performed from the maximum distance [3].
Based on the various obstacles created by the defender during the marking, the attacker's task is to find ways to overcome them. There are various options that allow you to overcome the protection resistance. This is a preliminary execution of a trick to throw or step, throw the ball along an artificially changed trajectory or shorten the time of its release. When throwing the ball on the move to beat the guardian, the attackers shift the ball from hand to hand during a two-step run-up or unexpectedly throw it at the first run-up step [9]. Techniques to avoid covering the throw by defenders who are taller than the attacker or have a higher jump include: a “reverse move” throw (when the defender moves forward to the attacker, and he, in turn, makes a pass behind the defender to the basket), a high trajectory throw, a throw with outstretched arms, the use of deceptive movements to unbalance the defender [8]. When the attacker with the ball is close to the basket, the ability to release the ball before the defender can raise his arms and jump out [2, 10] plays an essential role. A variety of possible attack techniques requires high technical readiness from the players, and the effectiveness of their implementation determines the effectiveness of ball throws.
When overcoming the opposition of the defenders, the ball carrier can use individual preliminary (distracting) actions to gain time and space from the opponent in order to create favorable conditions for the throw. In modern basketball, deceptive movements are an integral part of the successful execution of a throw in the face of opposition from defenders. Specialists cite as an example the triple threat position as an effective position that allows the use of deceptive movements [7]. While in this position, the attacker with the ball has the opportunity to make a quick throw, pass or pass to a partner. However, when using feints and getting rid of the guard of the opponent, the location of other defenders on the court should be taken into account, since a high level of interaction in defense often leads to a loss of the ball or a blocking of a shot. The circle of deceptive movements used by the attacker at the moment of performing attacking actions when throwing the ball is narrowed due to the fact that they must be placed in the phase frame of the throw.
Individual basketball players do not reduce the effectiveness of attacking actions in conditions of tight marking due to certain changes in the main phase of the throw. These changes include: a throw with a tilt of the torso back, a throw with arms extended upwards, and a change in the height of the jump. Note that the use of tactical interactions with teammates by attacking players occurs before the start of the main phase of the throw. Therefore, we focus on the technique of attacking actions when throwing the ball, and in parallel we consider the actions of the defenders directed against the attackers. In our opinion, the use of a variety of attacking actions in the process of throwing allows attacking players to more effectively overcome the resistance of defenders.
The main place in the fight against a defender in a supportless position belongs to the ability to control the height of the jump during throws from a distance. Among the performance indicators of a throw, an important role is played by the ability to perform a high jump directed vertically upwards [6]. A higher jump increases the defender's action time when covering the ball, and the attacker has more time to aim and make a decision (in the case of a cover, you can pass to a partner). At the same time, one should not be afraid of the defender's resistance - otherwise the movements will lose their lightness, elasticity, and accuracy [2, 5]. In another case, individual players practically do not push off the court during the throw, reducing the time it takes to complete it. However, in modern basketball this method of attack is practically not used due to the high activity of the opponents' defensive actions.
Considering the rules of the game, it must be borne in mind that when attacking, the attacker, both on the ground and in the air, must not cause contact with the defender in the correct marking position, using arm movements to create additional space and exposing his legs with the purpose of contact during or immediately after a shot for a field goal.
Discussing the above, we note that modern competition conditions require players to be able to overcome the opposition of defenders when throwing the ball into the basket. Due to the insufficient set of individual “crown” techniques among basketball players, the effectiveness of attacking actions is reduced, which is reflected in a decrease in the effectiveness of ball shots from the field. This also leads to a predominant desire to complete attacks from close range, despite the most active opposition from defenders in this zone. In this case, the resistance of the defenders not only reduces the effectiveness of shots from various distances, but also often does not allow them to be executed, which is especially typical for players who are not technically prepared enough. Therefore, overcoming the counteractions of the defenders requires high technical preparedness from the attacking players. These requirements are especially manifested in the process of performing attacking actions when throwing the ball into the basket, when tactical interactions between the players in the attack have already taken place. In this case, high technical performance and interaction of attacking actions within the phase of the throw will contribute to the successful completion of the attack. At the same time, the attacker with the ball must take into account that the defenders can still use tactical interactions, and be ready to overcome them through the use of techniques.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the formation of the technique of attacking actions of basketball players occurs under the constant influence of external and internal factors, among which the confrontation of rival players plays a leading role. However, in the scientific and methodological literature, the main attention is paid to the issues of competitive activity and the opposition of players are considered as components.
In our opinion, opponents' counteractions are the primary factor, as they create conditions in which all other factors of competitive activity of athletes are manifested. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the “defender factor” as the main one in the formation of the technique of attacking actions of basketball players.
