Basketball Terms (2)

Getting the ball
When the other team has the ball, your team wants to stop them from scoring. You can do this in several different ways. In man-to-man defense, each player on your team has someone from the other team to defend. In a zone defense, each person on your team defends one area of the floor.
Scoring points
One of the easiest offensive player is the give-and-go. In a give-and-go, you pass the ball to a teammate. Then that teammate passes the ball back to you so you can score.
If you want to be like Jeremy Lin, you need to master the pick-and-roll. In a pick-and-roll, a teammate picks or screens you from a defender. This lets you get away from the defender and score a basket.
Communication is important for any team. Try using these basketball terms the next time you play.
