Ethan Khoza breaks down the 45 cut, a backdoor move from the wing that works when the defense is focused on a drive on the other side. Read the overplay, cut to the basket, and get an easy bucket.
One of the best situations for this.
Is what's called a 45 cut. So maybe you're in the left wing and they're on the right side of the floor. They drive on the right side of the floor, and that attracts defensive attention, your defenders and help, and they might start to focus on that.
So by using this.
45 cut, which is just a cut from the wing to the basket, a lot of times you're going to be wide.
Open, right?
And this is something that I recognize all the time. Like even when I'm playing, the amount of times where I'll be open on a 45 cut just by going, it seems so easy and so simple, but it's. It's a lot of times.
They'Re very easy. Way to get a couple.
Free buckets every single game. Just by recognizing, recognizing when you can do that, recognizing opportunities for backdoor cuts. There's so many times where your defender.
Falls asleep and fills a ball. Watch.
And when you recognize that, okay, my. My defender is either overplaying this and anticipating something.
Or they're.
Really focused on the ball right now, not on me thinking about, just backdoor cut and seeing what comes of it. A lot of times it's going to.
Get you a couple easy buckets just.
By doing that, just by recognizing those opportunities. So.
