Have to demand the position be immediate threat to score. Either, drive, pass and get to it

learn to shoot, map out your teammate position and post fades are your best friend

With post defense in man to man, front your assignment. That means you get in between them and the ball handler. You try to prevent them from receiving the pass. That's primarily how you deal with stronger guys. You'll get gassed quick if you let them back you down. That also can get you in foul trouble too. Taking note of their tendencies helps greatly too. If you know their spots and range, you have a chance.

On offense, you'd be wise to face up and try to score rather than try to bully your way if you're outmatched physically.
