Description: Turn The Corner Finishing

Here are two of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to attacking the rim:

1 - It’s wrong to bounce backwards/retreat
2 - Once the defense bumps you on your drive, you should stop attacking

It is often times beneficial to actually give some space because it forces that reaction out of the defense. That reaction will allow you to play off of their reaction.

We also need to understand that contact at the hip does not mean they have us cut off. Often times it takes one or two more dribbles to turn the corner and beat their hip.

• Step in to bump your defender
• Extend away

Finishing Circuit

Notice how TJ McConnell does not have his defender beat initially, but he continues to turn the corner to create the angle.

The angle is not there initially, but he is eventually able to create it.

Game Situation: Turning the Corner

The best time to attack is off of a defensive closeout.

Attack downhill into a 2 dribble Euro step

Retreat to 2 Dribble Euro - Both Hands

Retreat to BTL 1 Dribble Finish - Both Hands

As you get downhill, punch the ball and swing your ball-side foot over the top.
