Pau Gasol: Running Hook

Work your defender to get him out of position and finish ice-cold with the unblockable running hook shot.

Post up
Establish contact with the defender in your back. Before you receive the pass make sure that you are in a low and powerful position to keep your balance.
Fake baseline
Spin to the right to fake out your defender. When he shifts, you’ve got yourself some space to move.
Attack middle
Now that you have your defender out of the way, turn round and attack the basket from the centre.
Running hook
As you approach the basket, use your left arm and shoulder to protect the ball from any block attempts. Then as you take the shot; use your fingertips for extra control and shoot smoothly over your defender into the basket.
