If your opponents decide to target and isolate you, try the following strategies:
1. Engage your partner in more shots. For instance, consider having your partner cover 60% or more of the court or encourage your partner to poach more shots.
2. Make play a little more confusing for your opponents. Give your opponents a different look, which can be accomplished by poaching or stacking or switching with your partner.
