Preparation

Here is where you want to size up your opponent. By looking at the defender you can decide which foot you will use to make the jab step with. 

Action Phase

Once reading your defender, you will do a jab step also known as side step. Triggering your opponent to become off balance. However, by repetition of the skill  the defender may anticipate and recovers quick enough not allowing you to take a shot you can then shot fake and then take one dribble passed the defender creating space for you to take a jump shot.

Recovery Phase

After releasing the shot you want to follow through. Also in recovery phase in an in game situation you have the options after shooting, to follow your shot in case you miss and you can get the rebound or to get back on defense in defensive stance.

Cues:  Jab step, pump fake, create space, follow through, get back on defense.

Jab step, shot fake, one dribble, crossover into layup/dunk

Stance Phase


In the stance phase you want to be in triple threat which is the position when a player facing a defender receives a pass but has not dribbled yet. The offensive player's feet are slightly wider than shoulder width and slightly on the balls of his or her feet, knees flexed, with both hands on the basketball in front of him or almost resting on his thigh.

Preparation

Here is where you want to size up your opponent. By looking at the defender you can decide which foot you will use to make the jab step with.

Action Phase

This phase is the most complex where all basic fundamentals come into action. Once reading your defender, you will do a jab step also known as side step. Prompting your opponents stability to become off balance, if the defender recovers quickly enough not allowing you to take a shot you can shot fake and then take one dribble passed the defender.  Now if you didn’t create enough space to get your shot attempt off because the defender recovers in time you can also change direction and cause the forward movement of your body to change from Linear to Curvilinear. By changing pace your Linear Momentum has decreased.  A crossover dribble as another source to create space and to make your opponent off balanced. After successfully cross over dribble  depending where you are on the court and positioning of the defender you can now accelerate moment toward the basket for a layup or slam dunk, using the force and power generated by your quadriceps and hamstrings.

Recovery Phase

After Dunking the ball you will want to get back on defense in a defensive stance.

Cues:  Jab step, pump fake, change direction, create space, get back on defense
