He really understood how to use his body. He would use his heft to?shield you, and he would use his size to shoot over you.

What I tried to do here was turn the tables and gain the positional?advantage. I used my left forearm to put pressure into his back. I put?my left leg behind him to further negate any opportunity he had to?spin off of me. Simultaneously, I used my right leg to cut off?his?angle to drive directly. Then, if he made any mistake with the ball,?my right hand was there to flick it away and capitalize on the error.

The best result of this play would have been to take the ball from?him or block his shot. Another good result would have been to make?him uncomfortable enough where he wouldn’t shoot at all. It would?have been OK also if he shot the ball off-balance. Regardless, I?wasn’t going to let him get comfortable and score without putting?up a fight.
