Re: Is there any way to guard 5 out with shooting bigs?

Few tips in stopping guts that play like that:

1. Mix it up between man, 2-3, & 3-2 zones. None are absolute stoppers unfortunately, but it does help to keep your opponent guessing. Remember to always keep an eye out for the 3s when you're in Zone, cause the cpu defenders over help every time.

2. Extend full court ball pressure. Shot clock is 24 seconds, so every second they waste in the backcourt is to your advantage. You don't necessarily need to trap or press, you just want to knock off a couple seconds.

3. Time of possession. Do not rush on offense & be efficient. You're never going to be able to stop offenses like these in 2k, but you can slow them down to a certain point. You re going to want to make sure that you use most of the shot clock on your side of the court ever single possession & on offensive rebounds, use 14 seconds. The longer you can keep the ball out of a 5 outer hands, the better.
