Basketball favors quicker players. And one of the toughest things to do in basketball is guard somebody who is quicker than you. Klay Thompson proved to be the one defender on the Warriors who could do anything to slow down Kyrie Irving in the 2017 NBA Finals, despite giving up a lot of quickness to Kyrie. In this video, we’ll breakdown a few of the key tactics Klay used and that you can take and put in your own game so that you can guard players who might have a quickness advantage over you.

What sucks about guarding someone quicker is when your team doesn’t play TEAM DEFENSE. To all the young cats, MOVE THE BALL AROUND ON OFFENSE & PLAY HELP D ON DEFENSE. That’s basketball and it allows EVERYONE on the team to get into a rhythm.

great tips! I think one thing that helps me guard quicker players is either guarding them closer (maybe not too close) or farther away (basically not a normal distance). You either want to take away that first step so they can't use all their speed into their first step, or back off and have a cushion so you can meet them at the spot.

@jordan7985
@jordan7985 3 роки тому
​@@zachbaquiran7796 try meeting him earlier, either off the catch or if he's bringing it up the court above the three point line. Defensively what i like to do is keep great scorers guessing. Switch up my stance, my style, etc. EVERY offensive player is about having good rythm. Sometimes I like to backup and try to take a charge or you can go for a strip (Iguodala style). Sometimes I'll shade him one way to get along side him. Sometimes I'll sit in my stance and just wait on his jumper. Sometimes I'll just be more aggressive and try to make them over dribble. So many techniques you can do.

@VisionDrivenBasketball
@VisionDrivenBasketball 3 роки тому
Well if you watch the clips at the end of the vid, Kyrie is so good that a lot of the time he’s going to score no matter how good the defense is. As is the case the case with some of the best scorers. The difference is, he had to work hard for those buckets and the shots were more difficult than normal. In terms of how to beat good defense, it really comes back to each individual situation. It varies. Depends on how they closeout, which side they try to force you to, where the help defense is, etc. Kyrie is great at shifting his defender and using changes in speed/height to beat guys. He also is great at using the defenders momentum against them when driving downhill by using stepbacks/punch drags/snatches.

@VisionDrivenBasketball
@VisionDrivenBasketball 3 роки тому
Good question, follow me on Instagram and I’ll post this breakdown soon. I probably could’ve expanded upon that during this video. If you go to 2:37 and watch the clip, you’ll see that this happens to Klay. He responds by keeping contact with that forearm while he quickly flips his hips and slides with Kyrie, forcing the tough shot. This is one scenario, another option is to position yourself in a way that completely forces him to go that way. There’s a couple details we can look at when it comes to that, and like I said I’ll post that on Instagram.
