    You give us realistic hoopers hope, bro. Dropping 52 while playing without cheesing is so good to see. I watched your videos and made a 6’9 two way 3 level and I average 21 points, 4 assist, and 2.5 steals a game. Doing the combos you taught! Shooting fades and stuff I use to couldn’t do. Fade aways and middies are my friends now bro. Preciate you.

    • @KevinCruz016
      @KevinCruz016  2 місяці тому +4

      I can tell with those numbers that he probably relies on elite screeners, because his one on one bag isn’t too deadly. Maybe he was just surprised at how well I stuck with him, butI was prepared to give it on offense as much as I could if he went wild on his end!

    • @KevinCruz016
      @KevinCruz016  2 місяці тому +3

      There’s some of that, there’s also me knowing patterns of how people usually go to with certain sigs. There’s also me shading them to help, and forcing them to shots they don’t like.
      In this case, I sat on the Jamaal Murray and speed boosts, knowing that he wants to get me to bite. But if I don’t he’ll just keep left righting til I do, so I rather keep protecting certain angles, and force him into shots he doesn’t want to take.
      But when he realized that I’m able to contest well and recover, he basically folded.

    • @sticks4617
      @sticks4617 2 місяці тому +2

      so when a player is dribbling, should I just shade and hold L2 while waiting for him to make a move ?
      my main issue is when i’m defending I feel like i constantly move my analog stick and slide my player, resulting in me being out of position.
      when i shade the off hand and don’t move as much, they drive past me and i struggle to recover.
      some player get that glue like clamps animation and they are stuck to me without moving much, pls explain how. sorry for the book !

      It’s when my body is in the upright shooting motion. So I take a look at the gather first, then once the gather animation is done I look at the ball. Once it’s aligned with my visual cue (push), I just release.
      This is an important point for stepback jumpers too because those can have wildly different timings on the gather
