Remember however that most pressing defenses work on the premise of stopping forward progress of the ball. Rapid passing up the court when possible it the surest way to break pressure. Rapid passing requires properly timed outlets in sequence. This is the hardest thing for young players to learn and execute against pressure. While a simple concept it is one of the least well executed in basketball.
Basketball is a game of angles.
If you run curves and allow your defender to play the shortest routes between two spots you will always be pressured. If however, you cut and move at angles, especially backdoor you gain advantage and make the defender cover more distance. Backdoors force defenders to turn, opening the door for possible outlet cuts as the door swings. There is no more effective weapon against pressure than ball movement by passing with well spaced offensive players and or well timed cuts. Once two players are taken out of possible outlet positions, a freed defender may trap or gamble by overplaying a dribbler without fear of getting beat.
