02 - Transition Offense aka Fastbreaks

What's up berasap, y'all? Put away your books for a while. Because you're at THE blog, bai. We continue with the list. Let's get straight to it, aite. Number two in the list of the "10 Things You Need To Know Before Playing In NCBL 2K11" is Transition Offense/Fastbreaks. This refers to the event in which your team brings the ball up the court after a defensive possession before the other team can set their defense up. Dalam erti kata lain, team kau main defend, pastu dapat bola sebab steal/rebound, pastu kau bawak bola nak attack laju-laju sebelum opponent sempat balik defend.

Saranan dari afiqPG - Now, fastbreaks ni ada seni dia. It's not just a matter of siapa berkaki kuda, lari paling laju. Tapi kalau nak tulis satu-satu pasal fastbreak ni memang tak cukup ruang beb. So aku fokus kepada tiga konsep utama dalam fastbreak yang berjaya. First, kena lari ikut lane. Second, kena sentiasa pass ke player yang paling depan dan kosong. Third, kena pandai-pandai tunggu member kalau defense dah set-up.

Anyways, untuk membantu menyampaikan isi saya akan menggunakan lukisan tadika ini ye rakan-rakan.

Ok, first concept - lari kut lane supaya sentiasa ada spacing yang elok semasa nak fastbreak. Ball-handler bawak bola ke tengah sementara wings (bukan band rock melayu tu, tapi player perimeter) bukak luas-luas supaya senang dapat space untuk operate. {Please oh please don't push the ball to just one side when fastbreaking. Gambarajah di atas memberi idea ringkas akan laluan mana yang perlu diambil oleh point guard, shooting guard serta small forward. Tetapi, tolong ingat bahawa yang atas tu adalah yang sebasic-basic mungkin la tu. Banyak lagi variasi dan peringkat-peringkat bagi fastbreaks ni, dan aku takkan sentuh pasal benda tu. Unqualified to talk too much la, bro. What to do?

Second concept to remember, always pass to the open player at the front first. If you keep on passing, the ball will advance up the court faster than it would if you dribbled it up court. There's actually no need for dribbling during a fastbreak if every player runs his lane and passes to the front. Try to get your team to remove the nasty habit of not passing to the front and you'll be fastbreaking some good times!

Third and last (at least for this post) concept is "having numbers". You "got numbers" if there are more players from your team than the opponent on the offensive side of the court. You have "no numbers" in the opposite situation. Dalam kata lain, "got numbers" is when you have a 2 on 1 opportunity, 3 on 2 opportunity, etc. On the other hand, "no numbers" is when you should chill the hell out, not go for fastbreak and wait for your teammates to come because there are more defenders that are set-up.

That's all for fastbreaks, I suppose. Anyways, watch out for part three!
