You can do some fake moves to make the defender back, and then you stop and look for a good chance to shoot and hit the ball in front of him. " "Do you like good offense or defense?" "Defense, no doubt, concentrate on protecting your basket. If someone wants to dunk in front of you, give him a big block. "
