in-season training

i have the next 7 days off from basketball and i want to hit the gym hard, because i haven't in ages. i wont be able to build up any significant amount of strength in a week, so im going to go for muscular endurance. correct me if i am wrong, but i think im going to go 50% max, and 15-20 reps per lift. where i am having trouble is deciding on how many sets to do, 3 maybe 4?

Well your not going to be able to gain any significant muscle endurance with only 1 week of training. For sets the more the better, your main target is to push the limit of reps that your body can do at that weight. when i do muscle endurance i try every set till failure with relativly long rest periods between sets. Try drop sets aswell their brutal for endurance
