Chest Trap. Trapping the ball with the chest is easy, provided that the player moves quickly enough to get in position. The chest is a bigger surface than the thigh or foot, making the ball easier to control. Players should watch the ball into the chest, and arch the back so that the ball lands as softly as possible. When under pressure, it can be helpful to steer the ball downward so that the ball moves quickly to the ground where it can be directed. 2, record 2, English, - chest%20trap

Contrôle du ballon. Un joueur contrôle le ballon lorsqu'il tient un ballon vivant ou il dribble, ou lorsque le ballon est mis à sa disposition pour une remise en jeu à l'extérieur du terrain. Une équipe contrôle le ballon quand l'un de ses joueurs est en possession du ballon ou quand les joueurs se le passent. Le contrôle persiste jusqu'à ce qu'un adversaire s'empare du ballon ou que le ballon soit réputé mort. Lors d'un tir au panier, le contrôle cesse dès que le ballon n'est plus en contact avec la main du tireur. 4, record 8, French, - contr%C3%B4le%20du%20ballon
