How to improve your shooting, mid to long range.

Practice, is practice... Nothing else.

1. Long-distance shooting: the hand should be relaxed, the hand should be soft, and the palm of the hand, including the palm, should be attached to the ball, so that there is no gap between the two, to ensure the maximum contact ball area, that is, the force area, the wrist is pressed down to the maximum, and the ball will feel pressed on the wrist (Xing Shengxun is not the forepalm, it is the wrist that is the palm).

2. Advantages: long-distance shooting is stable, ensuring the straight running of the basketball and maximizing the rotation of the basketball; Long-distance labor-saving, more than 50% less effort than hard-handed empty-handed shooting in long-range shooting; The arc is more reasonable and the shot is soft; The ball is more stable in the hand and easy to handle. The main point of the standard shooting action is that the right arm must pick up the ball in a straight line and at the same time shoot in a straight line.

The wrist and elbow feel like they are on the shoulder (itself on the shoulder), and the left hand holds the ball not in the right side of the side, but diagonally upwards and slightly down.

3. Close and middle distance: use hard hand shooting, the benefits of using hard hand hand type If you rely on the elasticity of five fingers to pluck the ball before laughing, the ball will not rotate too much, and then make the basketball appear very stable, so as to maintain stability at close and medium distances, and will also make the arc of the basketball slightly flat. Due to the flat basketball course, the mission rate has also improved.

This action is the traditional empty-handed shot.

4. Key points of hard hands: the five fingers are separated, the thumb should be stretched outward, and the five fingers have the feeling of picking the ball, that is, the feeling of grabbing the ball. The fingertips are forceful, and the palms are empty (because the fingers are stiff to grasp the ball, and the palms are open, so the palms are only empty), the point of this action is that the five fingers should be straightened, and they should be forced, stiff, which is usually said to hold the ball steadily.

Here's how to practice mid-range shooting:

Let's start with a simple three-threat move with the ball in front of the defender and observe the defender's center of gravity.

After the threatening stance is ready, the left hand dribbles with a one-step pull-up jumper, and we can make a pretend release to the right side before dribbling, or look to the right side and pretend to go to the baseline.

When our first move was spotted by the defender, we controlled the ball with our left hand and feinted to break to the left, actually turning around and attacking the basket.

Action 1 and Action 2 are two related attack modes, the defender does not move in time, and the shot is completed directly, and when the defender sticks to the defense, he turns and passes the person to the basket.

Technical points: 1. Collect the ball and turn it in one go, protect the ball and increase the turning speed.

2. Turn around and turn to the basket and stride as far as you can.

What should I do if the above is not good? It doesn't matter, it's still left-handed ball, and then doing a half-turn is a feint, and after turning back, it quickly shoots from a mid-range distance.

It is best to follow the defender in the half-turn, and the intention of turning to the basket will be more obvious, but the amplitude and power of our turn should not be too large, otherwise it will be difficult to adjust the subsequent shooting action.

Immediately after the picture above, add another change, turn back and swing a little, and take a step to the basket to shoot at close range.

We must learn to mobilize the defender's center of gravity to change, and choose the most suitable offensive method according to the actual situation, and the ability to read the defense is as important as the basic skills of dribbling and shooting.

While improving our skills, we also need to improve our ball quotient, learn professional basketball training, and be more clear about the correct way to play in different situations in actual combat! Unlock the column below to learn how to practice the basketball system with NBA trainers.
