Reverse baseline drop step p1:

The reverse baseline drop step with the reverse lay up onto the other side of the basket.

Concentrate on not bringing the ball down below the shoulders.

When shooting learn to keep the ball up from the chin position. If you move that ball even a centimeter away from that body the defender will be able to knock it away.
