Big frame center vs. fast team

Hey everybody how's it going? This post will be on how a team with a big frame center[team A] should play against a faster, smaller team[team B]. The first thing that must be done is RUN. Team A must constantly be running or else team B will just out hustle them and constantly get fast breaks. But if team A can't keep up the running they must resort to passing the ball upcourt.

Next team A must utilize their center in the paint. Team B is faster, but at the cost of size, so hammering the ball down low to the center will lead to easy lay ups. Then when Team B begins to crash down on the center it opens up mid-range to the 3 for shots.

On the defensive end team A must either play zone or man to man defense depending on the team's strength. But, they must cut off passing lanes to avoid break aways and open shots. I would personally recommend a spread 2 3 zone because team B typically won't be driving towards to hoop. In the spread 2 3 zone the forwards and guards will take away the opportunity for open shots so team B really has to work for their points.

Overall for team A to best team B they must do 3 things. Run, hammer the ball down low to center, and play a spread 2 3 zone.
