Basketball is a ball game played by two teams, each with 5 players. The goal is to get the ball into the opponent’s basket to score and prevent the opponent from gaining possession and scoring. The ball may be passed, thrown, slapped, rolled or dribbled in any direction, subject to the rules. There are various forms of basketball games, and there is also the most popular street three-person basketball game, which is a three-on-three game and pays more attention to personal skills. Below I share the basic skills of playing basketball.
The basic skills of dribbling skills: the center of gravity should be low and stable when dribbling the ball, the height of the dribble should be below the waist, and the ball should be looked at from the corner of the eye to prevent the ball from hitting the foot. To master the cross dribble with both hands, shoot the ball with the palm down, not the wrist. Good dribbling technique is when the ball “sticks” to you, following you, not you chasing it. You can use bamboo poles as a person for dribbling practice.
The dribbling technique of changing direction dribbling: changing direction dribbling is a commonly used skill, and it is also a practical skill for dribbling. That is, when you dribble the ball, you can change direction quickly, so that the opponent can be caught off guard, and some can even shake the opponent, so that you can easily pass the game. Pay attention to practice the crotch dribble, back dribble and cross dribble. To change the direction of the dribble, you should lower your body, increase the dribbling speed, and try to find a friend for actual combat practice.
The basic posture of passing skills: When passing the ball, place your hands in front of your chest, with your five fingers naturally separated, your palms holding the ball outwards, your wrists flexed back, your legs naturally separated, shoulder-width apart or in a lunge. The center of gravity should be stable, and the eyes should look straight ahead .
Direction and Power of Passing Skills: Direction is important when passing the ball. This seems simple, but it’s not. After looking at the direction of a teammate, passing the ball in his direction is sometimes not in place or is stolen by the opponent. This is because most of the players are moving all the time in the game. The pass that cannot go straight should have an arc. , to judge the player’s forward direction in advance and pass the ball ahead of time. In addition, when passing the ball, the force should not be too strong or too light. If the pass is too strong or the speed of the ball is too fast, it will increase the difficulty of the teammates catching the ball, and it is easy to lose the ball.
The basic posture of shooting skills. Before shooting, you should correct your posture. When holding the ball, the right hand is the main hand, and the left hand is the auxiliary (the left hand is the opposite). The palm of the right hand is well supported, and the five fingers are naturally separated. The armpit, the inside of the elbow, the back of the right hand, and the forearm should be at right or near right angles. Place your left hand slightly on the side of the basketball to ensure the basketball is stable. Straighten your upper body, do not shrug your shoulders, and place your feet on the ground naturally, with the distance between your feet shoulder-width apart.
Shooting skills three-step layup. Before laying up, keep your body’s center of gravity low, don’t dribble over your waist, keep your body steady, and keep your upper body straight. When running, lean forward as much as possible, slap the basketball with your palms down, and don’t turn your wrists. When jumping up in the third step, the wrist will naturally dial out the ball, try to be as soft as possible, and let the basketball have room for manoeuvre. This way the shooting percentage is higher. Many beginners often fail when they make the final shot, or they use up too much, the ball smashes the board and flies away, or lacks strength, and just hits the net after the shot, or even does not touch. The foundation of the three-step layup is to practice the basic skills of shooting, especially shooting at the basket. When throwing the ball, use the strength of the hand evenly, it is best to be gentle, and the wrist should be flexible.
Shooting strength and arc of shooting skills. When throwing the ball, pay attention to the strength of the right hand to push the ball forward and the arc of the ball. Generally, players who shoot with the right hand, the strength should be determined according to the distance between your position and the basket. When throwing the ball, the palm of your hand should move the ball to make the basketball spin in the air, so that the shooting rate is relatively high. Straighten. The running arc of the basketball should be higher, which can improve the hit rate, that is, try to throw the ball as high as possible.
