One-on-One by Centres

Game actions result in engagement between two opponents. These situations are in the basketball terminology marked as one-on-one situation. The forward tries to resolve the encounter for his benefit by scoring. In this description we come from American’s authors; therefore the paint is partly different in the figures than FIBA rules paint.

We divide post position (Fig. 50) according to the centre position into:

Fig. 50: Pivot’s game area – Post positions (Paye, 1996)

2. Area for action in mid position – centre in mid post
3. Area for action in low position – centre in low post
