The plays of a champ: Dribble-Drive-Motion

The Dribble-Drive-Motion (DDM) was invented by college coach Vance Wahlberg and is an offensive play used mostly at the high school and college levels. Even the Boston Celtics added this method to their playbook last season and run it about 30% of their offensive plays.
Instead of passing the ball to the wing, in DDM the point guard drives hard to the basket at the beginning of the play. Rajon Rondo is the perfect guy for this type of play, although Paul Pierce sometimes takes the role. When Rondo brings the ball, there are only a few players that can prevent Rondo getting at least one foot into the zone, thereby drawing more than one defender. With sharp shooters Ray Allen and Eddie House available, the Celtics can create open shots for those guys when calling DDM. If Rondo chooses to pass the ball to his wings Allen or Paul Pierce, either can penetrate again to get an open shot or drive against defenders. If an open shot still remains unavailable, the ball goes right to the center or another wing, which will lead to an easy basket. You can already see why the Celtics are so successful: They play as a team on which anybody could be taking the open shot.
This set play starts with Rondo and Pierce as guards, while Allen finds his spot in the other corner at the three-point line with no low post on that side. Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins find their spots on the block on the opposite side and in the corner.
This setup gives Rondo lots of space to drive to the basket and draw the defensive help. With the DDM’s wide setup, however, the helper must go a long way which makes it easy for Rondo to drive or kick the ball out to an open shooter.
Boston’s modification of the DDM, the high pick-and-roll, opens up even more options for the Celtics to score easy baskets. To prevent Rondo’s drive, the defender can either step out or switch, which gives Pierce a chance at a mismatch.
This play seems to work very easily – and it actually does, although some call the DDM a mocked-up streetball play that runs disorganized. The Celtics prove them wrong every night they play, simply because this team understands what to do in every situation and truly knows that spacing is the most important thing for the play to work.Buy and sell your basketball tickets through yourticketmarket.com. this is one of the mose reliable and secure side for buying and selling of online tickets.Buy nba baskerball tickets through yourticketmarket.com..This is one of the best side for buying and selling of online ticket.Visit this side you will find many event tickets like sports,thretre,concert and much more.nba basketball tickets through this secure site.nba basketball tickets are cheap on this site.so buy these cheap nba basketball tickets through this site.
