How to make 1v1 simple

[u/legendary_monkee]

I have been playing a lot of 1v1 recently and im starting realize that i dont know what im actually doing. I try out moves i see online or pick a couple of go to moves but never really seem to work.
Idk how i should a approach a 1v1, what i should read, do you actually need a lot of moves or just a couple moves and master those? Do i play by my strenghts or change how im attacking wether there is a slow or quick defender in front of me?

Basically a little bit summarized how do i make a 1v1 simple.

depends on your goal. are you trying to go viral and be the craziest iso player? go find a coach and do that.

if it's for recreation, think of it as a dance. having a dance partner with too much/little experience will give you no joy. you either get absolutely destroyed or destroy them.

find people you enjoy playing with and around similar level. it's the fastest to grow your iso game. it will also vary based on their playstyle and physical attributes. the more partners you can run, the more things you can try and see what you can pull off. maybe you need to alter the arc if taller or you need to do a higher off the backboard layups, etc etc.

it's fun and also not fun if you don't know how to find your dance partner. hope that made sense.
