Same Foot Step Back (Open Step Back)

Drive downhill with a defender on your hip. Plant and lunge hard with the same foot and same hand simultaneously, then hop backward onto a balanced, squared two-foot shooting base. Key points: - Lunge same foot and pound same hand simultaneously to force the defender to overslide - Push back off the plant foot into a balanced, squared shooting base - Elevate straight up without twisting or fading sideways Common mistakes: Cross-stepping feet and tangling legs, resulting in loss of balance.
