If you're facing a run and gun team, it is imperative that you walk them down. Slow deliberate style on offense, menacing defense. Menacing defense, its not physical, its horseshoes, just be in the vicinity to disrupt whatever.
Think about the draft combine, this is the genesis of your play, and you must play like this after each switch man on ball defense is crucial. It's crucial to every aspect of you defense it you chose to switch.
1. Manage your angle take responsibilty of your space, to prevent D help. The D gets out of wack because you're taking a play off. You see a pick coming press on the LTrigger or L2 to get into defensive mode, to push him off the pick/make him go wide. This action keeps him in front of you
2. Draft combine again, if the ball isn't moving and you're on the ball defense get your hands up to prevent an easy pass. Believe me it works.
3. Beating the offender to the spot, attacking angles cutting off his path, makes him restart the offensive and this allows you to reset your defense.
4. Use the L2 and the L stick to push them off their spot, you must make it uncomfortable as possible.
5. how is the offense attacking you? who is attacking you? now use whats available to you a. time outs, b. on the fly coaching c. coaching profile and last but not least your eyes, what are they telling you, trust them they are your biggest alley.
NBA 2K leaves you to your own devices, and its up to you to figure it out.
Just think "Draft Combine" when you playing and that big letter grade in the upper left hand corner. You always had to be on your P's and Q's. You know as well as I know that a B kept you valid or you dreams alive. Now when you're switching think of that big letter grade.
