This move can be used to create space between the offensive player and the defender, allowing the offensive player to drive to the basket or shoot a jump shot

The up-and-under

Assuming you have a decent vertical leap, the up-and-under is a move that can get you some easy baskets around the hoop. The key is to get your defender up in the air and then go under them for the layup.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Drive to the hoop and get your defender up in the air with a pump fake or a head fake.
2. As they are jumping, take one hard dribble underneath them.
3. Finish with a layup or a short jumper.

This move is especially effective against taller defenders who are not used to being guarded closely by someone much shorter than them.

The pump fake

The pump fake is a move used by players to fool defenders into thinking they are going to shoot the ball, when in fact they are not. This can be done by holding the ball in one hand and quickly bringing it up to the shooting position, before quickly lowering it again. It can be used to create space for a shot, or to drive past a defender.

The head fake

The head fake is a move used by basketball players to get open for a shot, or to pass to a teammate. It involves faking one direction with the head and then going another direction with the feet. The head fake can be used while standing still, or while moving.
