Lu Dort Defense - Lockdown Breakdown 

The amount of energy and ‘dog’ in Dort is insanity.

Crazy how this guy is going to inspire so many others to play D just like him

This is how defense is taught in FIBA academies. You slide lateral and seek a "chest stop."

7:00 imagine setting 3 screens and still seeing Lu Dort at the other side of it

became one of my favorite player because of the playoffs

The knee is definitely not a dirty tactic. He’s beating the defender to the ball. Could be called a foul but disguises it with him using his body next. Really brilliant actually and not a dirty move either

That's how I've always played defense during HS and now my pickup games. Lateral slides and always looking to bump early with the chest. I didn't realize that was uncommon until I watched this video

I tried your upward stance against my dad, although I did lose 7-6 . I did a great job at contesting his shots and getting steals.

Holy crap I never realized how much thought you can put into defense

If it wasn't for Dort we wouldve lost in 5 and every loss wouldve likely been a blowout. Game 1 in particular James Harden dominated and was literally doing what he wanted, in game 2 OKC played much better and the game was much closer with Dort making an INSTANT impact which was felt for the rest of the series. The great thing about dort as well is that guarding James Harden is usually a job for an entire team, Lu Dort was quite literally able to handle Harden himself for the most part and that made sure everyone else didn't have to sag off or help! I can't believe an Undrafted Rookie who made around $113,000 that season completely clamped up Harden all by himself. Never have i seen anything like that in my life

Suggestion: lockdown breakdown on 19-20 NBA 1st team all-defense

Thanks for advices It helps a lot in defence My oponent plays like harden but tonight i locked him No space to shoot Only switches let him score

Lu dort is what patbev think he is

Thunder legend Lu Dort man, so inspirational

Great video breakdown!!!

I was about to ask for this breakdown. But Coach Mike always deliver!

Great video Coach Mike

Really instructful

@coachMike are you ever gonna make a lockdown defense on Rodman, Metta, Draymond, Bowen, CP3, Rondo, & Frank I can keep going I like your vids there awesome I’m a big defensive guy myself.

The Scottie Pippen defense. He plays defense just like Scottie. Chest, hands in face, but straight up during contact.

About the swipe down, from my personal experience with a player who has success with it at my local park, it seems to me that the swipe is primarily mental. Getting the ball stripped on a shot is coded to suck for a lot of players, so I'd assume it works well because it messes with a player psychologically. On another point, it also tricks the offensive player into believing you have more range (close enough to put a hand on the ball).

really entertaining defense to watch, its so fun to see superstars struggle with this man lol

Can you make a vidéo on lockdown defense Marcus Smart please ?

ive been doing this for a very long time and as soon as i found who lu dort was i became a fan of his

Next vídeo marcust smart,draymond green,paul george,

This video deserves more likes

Can we have a Marcus Smart breakdown video next please coach 🙏🏾

DWYANE WADE LOCKDOWN VIDEO PLEASE!!!, love your content

I bet you love the hell out of Herb Jones. That mans defense is otherworldly.

You gotta do Marcus Smart!😤

This gets me hype

you cannot 'foul with your chest'.. that's the gem

My man dort got def for real 🥶🥶

Do one on cp3 pls and maybe Marcus smart too

next video marcust smart

Can u do jrue holiday next

coach when we slide laterally we slide laterally according to what? lie do we move in line of the box or a semicircular path ?like for example if the offensive plar is at the wing do i face him square like diagonal fro the basket and slide laterally from that angle or force him towards the sidelines? i hope you understand what i mean

coach, like lu dort how do i develop myself to not slide backwards or at an angle but slide laterally and not get scared of taking ocntact like lu dort ?

5:34 man he is so good

Do DWYANE WADE LOCKDOWN AS WELL!!!

Canada vs czech republic brought me here because lu dort defending on tomas satoransky in buzzer beater. czech republic win 103-101

Great👏🏾 I didn't hear you swear one time. Too many people do. Because they dont know that Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Matthew 15:11 “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.”

He’s from my hoood💯💯

This is true defense

When I do contact slides on defense people are calling me for a block. Arms are up and out, not reaching in, I’m in a defensive stance and moving laterally, contact is taken right in the center of my chest. What differentiates the contact slide from a blocking foul?

Best defender this season

When I lateral slide into contact during pickup games the guy says I fouled him.

Fort makes me wanna hop on 2k and lockdown people on play now with the lateness

What is a defensive workout I can do by myself

5:06 or strike your hand and arm toward in the middle of his pull up flow. This is what Jeremy Lin does. They can't pull up if you met them at their midsection striking at the ball. It's either a steal or off rhythm jumpshot

Genuinely asking, I get the feeling my friends think I hit them with blocking fouls, but I swear how I play epitomizes the contact slide (I'm one of the faster ones in my group). Is someone able to explain why the contact slide Dort excellently uses is legal? And better yet, is anyone able to differentiate it from a blocking foul? My main struggle of understanding this is that my friends make the point that the feet have to be set, but the contact slide we see here proves this is not completely correct (several clips showcase Dort's feet aren't set when chest contact is initiated). I see other defenders like Draymond green utilize this technique as well offering a chest bump. For reference, I am almost never in a "hip to hip" striding situation with my friends when playing D, and to my understanding it's almost always illegal for defense to initiate contact in that scenario. So really I'd love some assistance for more of an explanation of the contact slide.

Bruce Bowen vs Lu Dort on lockdown defense. Who will win?

Every team needs a couple good defenders

yes good defenders dont back up but slide side to side and to bad they dont no other tactics to make them even more better defenders.

Lu!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

This guy is a textbook defender. Once he learns how to shoot he will be an all-star!

Lu Dort will lock down your best player and let guys like Bazley, SGA, future Lamelo Ball, future Cade Cunningham and possibly future Jalen Green (If Rockets trade Harden and Westbrook this year. Okc owns Houston 2021 pick) T off on you. The future is bright in loud city.

DWYANE WADE LOCKDOWN VIDEO !!!!

This guy is next to Scottie

Dort makes Pat Bev looking like Harden in defense...

The one dislike is James harden lololol

Lu Dort is my draft conparison

Imagine dort coming to bucks

6:13 I would’ve sprained something wtf

Had Harden on lockdown

I think he’s a good defender but the only reason harden was struggling was because the thunder were playing a whole lot of help defense in the gaps. And also double teams

Do he only lock harden up ah sum😂

This is the reason why Harden left.

“Wingspan” 2k players y’all hurd that? Y’all needa stop making y’all shits look like T-Rex arms.

The next Kawhi, mark my words.

Clamps without handchecking, this is an ELITE defender, not gary payton or mj overrated defense
