PLAYING IN
THE PAINT
Getting the ball down in the
post is the perfect opportunity
to show your opponent just how
weak his defense really is. Here are
some key post-play moves to master.
Note that to perform any of these moves
or shots, you must first start backing down
your defender by holding the
Left Trigger
while
inside or within two feet of the paint. As with
the previous chart, the chart on the following
page shows the direction to move the
Left
or
Right Thumbstick
in relation to
the basket.
ASK COACH
Yo, Coach!
I can’t seem to shake my
defender in the key. How
can I get him off my back
and get a clear shot?
--Hounded in Houston
Dear Hounded,
If your
Shooting Control
is set to
Normal
, press the
X
button to pump fake. You
might draw your defender
off his feet, giving you an
opportunity to drive
to the basket or get a
more open shot.
