one move that he moved was the pick and roll. another move that he was successful at was the floater. his ability to read the defense made him successful was because he could tell who he was going to pass it to then lead him to steal the ball and get the fast break score.

He used a spin move to get on the weaker side of his opponent and make a layup. He also used a cross over move to get on the weaker side of his opponent and charge past him to the basket and make a layup.

1. Jab Step
2. Drop Step

-Being able to read the defense allows him to be successful in the game because he is able to point out their weaknesses and use different moves and tactics to beat the defense and score.

2 ways that Lin created space was the pick and roll, and the jab step. His ability to read the defense made him successful b/c he could see their weaknesses which made them vulnerable to attacks. This allowed easier shots at the basket because of that ability.

A move that he used was a jab step and spin move. He used a jab step to get his opponent lost for a while so he can score and he used the spin move to get through and make the basket.

Jeremy Lin used the jab step to move the defender out of his way to get a clear lane to the basket. He also uses the crossover to make space between him and his man so that he could get a good shot off.

His ability to read the defense helped him be successful because when he read the defense he was able to make a good pass to his man so that he could score.

Jeremy was able to read the defense was when he saw javale mcgee standing in the middle of the lane, so instead of over penetrating, he pulled up and shot the floater.He created space with a stepback jumper, and he also made a spin move to get by his defender.

As Jeremy Lin gets to the front court he uses a quick cross over to swing the defenders hips causing him to become off balance. Then as he gets near the rim he uses a his body to keep the defender away from the ball. Lin also used a ball fake to get his defender to go to the other offensive player. This allowed him to get to the basket with ease.

One move Lin used was splitting the defense after his teammate set a pick for him. Later on he faked a pass, which created an opening. He drove in and finished with a floater.

His ability to read the defense helps him because it allows him to make the right move at the right time.

Jeremy Lin uses the jab step and cross over move to score and make space for him to drive. His ability to read the defense is important because he can see where the weak side is and then he can score.

Two moves that he used are: pick and roll, 3 point stance. His ability to read the defence helped him because he could tell where to go, whether it be on his opponent's weak side or not, and when to do, whether or not his opponent was balanced/paying attention. Because of this he is able to score with ease.

first he jabbed step to see the defenders reaction and he also used the spin move to get pass the defender. Jeremy lins skill at reading the defense helped him win because he could almost predict what his opponent is gonna do. not only that but he is a very agile person with good ball handling skills.

He uses a crossover to switch directions and catch the defense off guard. A teammate picked for him which also allowed him to make a shot. Reading the defense allows him to know when to move and which direction. Then, he can move around them and score.

One of the ways Jeremy Lin used to lose John Wall, was by crossing over to the left on the run so that he can create speed to get past J. Wall, and to lay it up with his left hand. The second way Lin used to create space was the hesitation. His hesitation skill was a big reason why he was able to lose his opponents for the most part.

Jeremy Lin used a crossover to get to the weaker side of the defense so he could do a lay-up. He also uses the jab-step so he can get the defense to react and back away for him to shoot. Reading the defense is important because it allows you to find the weakness of the defense and easily drive to the basket.
