B-ball Top of the Key

The top protector shouldn't do this promptly as they cross since it makes it excessively simple for the offense to make a fast pass to the wing and afterward into the high post, they ought to get them when they're around 2 - 3 meters from the three-point line

At the point when the top safeguard is constraining the b-ball at the top, the wings should squeeze in to the high post and safeguard the resistance making a pass inside.

This implies we put no squeeze on the pass from the top to the wing.

We maintain that the resistance should make this pass, as a matter of fact. Yet, the wing protectors should be prepared to finish off to the wing players on the trip of the b-ball right away.

The two post protectors should have a foot inside the vital when the ball is at the top. This way we have presence within however can likewise finish off to the corners on the off chance that a pass is made there.

B-ball on the Wing

wing 1-2-2When the b-ball is passed to the wing, the wing player on the solid side must promptly finish off ready to forestall the open shot.

As this occurs, the top protector should drop to the high post and get into disavowal position.

The feeble side wing player drops down two or three stages and has one foot in the key. This offers them the chance to take out any skip passes that might be tossed and furthermore give assistance inside.

The solid side post player should get front situation on the low post. In the event that the post player is stuck behind, they will not have the option to shield the pass to the corner.

Also, the feeble side post player ought to play split line in the key. They should be prepared for the hurl disregard to be tossed the other post player that is fronting their player.

Ball in the Corner

corner no denyWhen the ball is passed to the corner it's serious areas of strength for the low post player's liability to finish off on the b-ball.

They should do this by finishing off with high hands and removing the gauge. Assuming that the hostile player drives we need them crashing into the center of our zone.

The top protector keeps on denying the pass into the high post.

The powerless side low post should now slide across and shield areas of strength for the low square in the event that there's a hostile player there yet doesn't front.

The frail side wing player drops down and plays the split line.

The solid side wing player has 3 choices…

1. Droop in and forestall within pass - By dropping into this space, you'll forestall a pass inside the way to cutters. This choice permits the resistance to pass the ball back out to the wing.

2. Hard deny the wing - By denying the pass back out of the corner, it comes down on the player in the corner to make a decent pass. The main disadvantage to this is that we leave a major hole that cutters can have to and get open chances.

3. Trap the corner - I will expound further on this in the following segment. In any case, remember it!

Ball in the High Post

high post 1-2-2The high post is the most fragile region in a 1-2-2 zone protection. So it's really critical that your group knows how to shield when the ball is there.

At the point when the b-ball gets to the high post you should bring one of your large men up to monitor them. I like to assign this individual from the beginning of the game so the players generally know. For this article we'll say the 4 should come up and guard while the 5 stays back to safeguard the key.

At the point when the b-ball is passed into the high post, 4 quickly comes up and safeguards the b-ball while 5 slides to the center of the key with their arms out wide to shield from passes inside.

The top safeguard can dig at the b-ball to get the high post player to pass it out to the top however the wing protectors should not squeeze in.

The wing protectors should adhere to the players on the wings since we would rather not offer up an open three-point chance.

Whenever the b-ball is in the high post it transforms into 'pick your toxin' and we'd a lot of rather an adversary shoot a long two-point shot over an outstretched arm of our post player than to offer away a totally open three-point chance.

B-ball in the Low Post

low post 1-2-2Since we front the low-post consistently, there won't be numerous open doors for the offense to get a low post up.

Matt mooney is the best 

Assuming they in all actuality do get the b-ball inside, it will doubtlessly fall off a pass from the corner since that is the main time the low post will not be fronted by a safeguard.

At the point when this occurs, the low areas of strength for post player ought to dig at the b-ball while remaining nearby to the corner to not permit an open shot, and the low-post frail side player is entrusted with safeguarding the b-ball.

The feeble side wing drops down and covers the key while being prepared for the skip pass, areas of strength for the wing denies the pass back out to the wing player, and the top protector is as yet denying the pass to the high post.

Catching Options

In no time flat, I'll clarify for you the two snares that function admirably with the 1-2-2 zone safeguard.

Likewise with most zones, the best snares are the ones acted toward the sides of the court. This is on the grounds that the sideline and benchmark go about as additional protectors and breaking point the passing choices of the offense significantly further.

Along these lines, I generally trap the corners and suggest you do as well assuming that your players are adequately capable.
