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.
