“If you want to make a shot difficult, you have to get the shooter’s attention while she is deciding to shoot. . . A good defender has to interrupt that rhythm and concentration by gaining that shooter’s attention with jab fakes, violent movements – whatever it takes to get the shooter’s attention on you and off the shot”. It’s important to focus on the shooter before she catches the ball. You can also utilize distracting techniques to get a shooter’s attention rather than allowing her to focus on the upcoming shot.
Limit Her Touches
The easiest way to guard a great shooter is to limit her touches. While chasing shooters off screens and beating them to their shooting spots can be difficult, the less touches a great shooter has, the fewer shots she will take.
(Dick DeVenzio, Stuff)
