41. Offense
Basic offensive skills
Passing
Ball handling
Shooting
Rebounding

42. Passing the basketball is the fastest
and often the most efficient way of
advancing the ball up the court.
Five types of passes
Chest
Bounce
Overhead
Baseball-style
Behind the back

43.  Chest in which the ball is
thrown from chest height
Bounce in which the ball is
bounced on the ground on its
way to the teammate
Overhead in which the ball is
thrown with both hands
extended over the head

44.  Baseball-style, in which
the ball is thrown like a

Behind-the-back, in which
the player throws the ball at
waist height with one hand
whipping the ball around the
back

45. Ball handling
To be a good ball handler, a
player must watch the action on the
court, keeping the eyes straight
ahead and not focused down on the
floor.
The player must also keep the ball
low, protecting it from defenders and
bouncing it no higher than the waist

46. Dribbling

passed up the court rapidly.

53. Defense
The goal of defense is simple: to
stop the opposition from
scoring.
The more times a team stops
an opponent from scoring, the
more likely it is that a victory
will be secured

54. Basic defensive technique
involves guarding the opponent while
keeping both feet at least shoulder-
width apart, with one foot slightly
ahead of the other and the knees bent.
When defending, a player's weight
should be placed on the balls of the
feet to ensure quick movement in any
direction

55. General defensive positioning
involves skilled movement.A
defensive player should take short,
quick shuffle steps when moving
side-to-side

improper defensive technique.

56. Two types of basic defensive team play
man-to-man defense, each
player guards a specific opponent,
usually one that plays the same
position, so that a guard defends a
guard, a forward defends a forward,
and so on.

57. zone defense each player guards a
specific area of the court.
2-1-2 zone the most widely used
zone defense
in which the two guards cover the
forefront of the defense, the center
guards the middle portion of the
court, and the two forwards defend
the area nearest the basket
