How to Play Triple Threat Defense in Basketball
Now along with the triple threat offense you also have to be aware of defense. Defense wins championships, there is no lie about that. Now an important thing to remember is your stance in defense. You always want to be in front of your defender in a crouch position waiting evenly distributed on the back foot as well on the front one. Now you've got to be able to slide, you want to be able to slide forward, you want to be able to slide backwards, but it's got to be fluid. So you want your weight to be evenly distributed cause you might have to go side to side. Notice the hands are always extended. This way if the pass is made you can swatted it down or close down the passing lanes. Hands can also go up high if need to or down low, but it's a threat always in that triple threat position similar to the offense. What this allows you to do is to cover all angles along with your teammates. That's utilizing team defense and essentially using the triple threat on defense.
