Explanation:
Si esto es para Argentina, no podemos "coger rebotes". Me pregunto si "aprovechar rebotes" no es otra opción...

Gracias a todos!
La traducción sí es para la Argentina, y no podemos usar "the c- word" :-).
De las otras opciones elijo "aprovechar" porque incluye la idea de contraataque del resto del contexto.
De nuevo, mil gracias!

Tomar rebotes


Explanation:
¿No sería una forma de decir "coger". Aviso que no entiendo nada de deportes.
Sólo estoy tratando de parafrasear las opciones de mis colegas.

Atrapar rebotes


Explanation:
Personalmente, a mí me parecía bien la solución de "coger rebotes". En España lo diríamos así, pero ya que hay quien piensa que no es correcto te mando esta otra opción que creo tiene el mismo sentido. "Tomar rebotes" sin embargo no me gusta; no es una expresión del castellano.
