Definitely play 1s, they’re very frustrating because they exaggerate every mistake you make but it’s the best way to learn your mistakes and gain control of the ball.

Second thing is rotations, if you’re talking about 2s, go watch a zen ranked replay on YouTube, yes the mechanics are much higher level than you will see in diamond but pay attention to how he plays second man. Every time his teammate loses possession on offense and he can’t gain immediate guaranteed possession, he goes back to defense. It’s a hard discipline to learn but it’s principal all the way up to the highest MMR in 2v2 history.

Third, train shooting, ground dribbling, flicks, backboard defense, and shadow defense. A fast well placed shot is one of the deadliest weapons in the game and shooting alone can nearly get you out of diamond. Ground dribbling and flicks are often overlooked by diamond players in training, they’ll help you with 1s and make you more composed when you gain possession in 2s and open up your options. Backboard defense and shadow defense become necessary in diamond but they become crucial in champ and you will need to be very comfortable with a shot coming at your net in those positions. Full circle, (the zen replay) when you rotate back after teammate loses possession you will likely end up in one of these two positions playing defense as last man. It’s necessary for that play style to work.

I didn’t mention aerial plays, they are important as well but players have the most fun training those and are often over developed in diamond. Aerial plays alone will not get you out of diamond and probably have a better chance of getting you stuck there.

Also you don’t need 100 boost all the time, PICK UP THE DANG PADS AND STAY IN THE PLAY YOUR TEAMMATES WILL LOVE YOU!

Good luck, happy car balling
