Many players would prefer to have an simple path up the court, but sometimes you have to make a team do that. So what’s the secret to breaking a press?
1. Pass your way through it and limit dribbling. A basketball that sits in one place is easier to defend.
2. Get the ball to the middle. Center court gives you options when you turn and face the defense.
Doing those 2 things break down a defense and move an offense up the floor quickly. It just might force a team to take the press off.
