help defending the 3

[samson]

i just played the bucks, and they just bombed on my ass from down town.
they hit me up for 9 threes of 18 , while i shot a bismal 4 for 12. bobby simmons hit 4 of 6 and mike redd hit me for 4 of 6.

the very next night i payed the kings and bibby hit 4 of 7 and bonzi wells lit me up for 6 of 9. while the team shot 56 % from down town.

i really wanna know what is a defense that can shut down the outside shot.


tell me what's really good people

try using a zone like 3-2, and make sure to contest every shot

it's dismal, not bismal. just use a zone like volsey said. What I do is just control whoever's guarding their best 3pt shooter and hound him.

[tracywtfacy]

probly meant to say abysmal... anyway you should try going into playbooks - defensive matchups and for the 3 shooters crank the def. pressure to high, or even set to double team to get the ball out of his hands

[Silas]

if you press block with an outside stopper use the freestyle trigger to contest a jumpshot it makes them miss much more
