Body Contact Finish (Hit First, Finish Second)

Attack a rotated rim protector by gathering into a protected power pocket, jumping vertically into the defender's chest/shoulder to absorb contact first, and finishing with extended arms second. Key points: - Keep the ball protected in the power pocket away from the defender - Jump vertically into the defender to absorb contact without charging forward - Extend arms and complete the layup after contact has neutralized the shot blocker Common mistakes: Lowering the shoulder into a charge or exposing the ball to the shot blocker during takeoff.
