How do I deal with pump fakes from a shooter?? Especially when they are intense realistic pump fakes, I need to react in some way but still wait for the shot. I want to address this finally; something talked about a lot but no one seems to give mechanical or technical advice with their opinions.
When a shooter is faking the ball and we need to stay patient and wait for the shot, how do we do that? We can't give up our hands or the compression in our legs in order to explode. Once we give any of those up, we turn into just existing and hope we can hang out to our position or they shoot into our position. This is only the first concept I start with on how to help with that patience. React on your legs only! Try to disassociate your arms and upper body from your legs as your legs react.
