For Zigzag+

The previous article only talked about basics of dribbling behind back

Lower your center of gravity and sit on your buttocks

After pendulum, switch sides with one hand behind your back and continue

If your back hurts during a workout

This means you're leaning too far forward and not lowering your center of gravity.

In this way, all pressure is on back, causing pain

Simultaneously lower your center of gravity and exercise your leg muscles

5

Zigzag+step down with one hand

Pendulum swings inward with one hand and adds crotch

Dribbling behind fairway

Let ball move to other side at same time

You can practice more on weak side

6

Pull ball back with one hand

Basic movements remain unchanged

Then pull ball back with one hand

Try it with one hand

Don't interfere with other hand

After enough time on one side, switch to other side and continue

7

Zigzag+double back

The pendulum dribbles ball behind his back with one hand

Perform two dribbles in a row

It is necessary that everyone's legs stand at a greater distance

This will ensure a lower center of gravity when we squat

8

Zigzag with one branch

Devin said in video

This dribbling inspired him when he watched AND1 team

Continuous zigzag under one arm and one foot

Pay attention to details: German did not cross-down dribbling

Pass ball under thigh

Instead, a pendulum dribbling is done under foot

This exercise is aimed at improving ball control

Zigzag+cross down

Drawing pendulum forward with one hand

Change direction before tying crossbody

Simply put, this is a change of direction by Tim Hardaway

Keep your shoulders dropped forward when changing crotch
