Jab step (джеб степ)

СЛОВАРЬ АМЕРИКАНСКИХ ТЕРМИНОВ🇺🇸🇷🇺 Jab step (джеб степ), очень эффективное движение с Виктором Кирилловым) A jab step, also known as side step, is performed when a player holds onto the ball before dribbling while his non-pivot leg performs a jabbing forward or side motion. This move is used to test defender's defensive weaknesses and stance. A combination of the pump fake, the drive, the shot and the crossover drive can be performed along with the jab step to lure the opponent out of his defense. New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony is well known for taking the jab step, as was 13-year pro Kiki Vandeweghe. When the player does this, the defender falls off from their defensive stance, creating a space between the player and the defender, allowing them to take a quick mid-range jumper, a three-pointer, or a drive “to the lane.“
