The Isolation Offense

Isolation refers to a style of play where a single player on the court handles the ball and attempts to score, often with minimal assistance from their teammates.

• Bring the ball up the court and initiate the play by calling for an isolation using the D-pad or the on-screen play call button.
• Use the right stick to move your player into an open spot on the floor, ideally near the top of the key or the wing.
• Once you are in position, use a combination of dribbling moves and ball handling animations to create space between you and your defender.
• Once you have an opening, use the right stick or the shoot button to take the shot or drive to the basket.
• Repeat the process as necessary to take advantage of any weaknesses in the defense.
• Keep in mind that isolation plays can be risky, as they rely on a single player to create a scoring opportunity and can leave the rest of the team on defense. It's important to have a good balance of isolation plays and team plays to be successful.
• Note: This is a general guidance and the game controls might be different based on the game version you have.
