Pump Fakes
To get an open shot, tap the Shoot button
X
and pump fake the defender into the air.
An “uncontested” shot has a much higher probability of going in, so if you wait until your
defender is on his way back down before you initiate your shot, your odds of making the
shot will greatly improve.
Calling for Pick
Try having a teammate set a pick for you to get that pesky defender off. To do this,
hit the
D-Pad
, and then the
L
trigger button – your nearest teammate will create a wall
for you to go around to shed your defender.
To perform a “Show and Go”, try doing a pump fake, then
when your defender has gone for the fake, you can quickly
drive around him to the basket.
NOTE: A show and go is only possible, if you have not already used your dribble.
