Master corner positioning and defensive techniques to prevent angle winners and recover difficult court positions. Corner defense prevents opponents from exploiting sideline angles.
Recognize when opponents are attempting angle shots, positioning yourself wider than normal to cover sideline areas.
Read opponent positioning and shot setup, anticipating directional intent before they strike.
Execute explosive lateral movement toward the corner area where the opponent is targeting.
Strike the wide ball with a recovery shot, either blocking it or driving it forward depending on court positioning.
Prioritize returning the ball to safety (deep court) over attempting winners from corner positions.
Move toward the center court after the recovery shot, resetting your positioning for the next exchange.
