Good Against: Low Screen Offense ; Isolation Offense ; Spread Offense
Shooting: Like the full press, the half press does not attempt to neutralize certain players, it simply works to disrupt the flow of the ball and cause turnovers. Player shots will only be influenced by the defensive player(s) guarding the shooter.
