How to shoot to make the basketball fly?

1. Adjust your pace. You must adjust your pace before going for a layup while running. Don't make your stride suddenly large or small. You must keep your steps steady, just like a normal trot, so that you can be ready for a three-step layup.

2. Control the speed. There are speed requirements for layups while traveling and cannot be too fast or too slow. Generally speaking, a constant speed is better, but the exception is when someone is defending. You may speed up to get past the opponent, but try to find the right opportunity.

3. Start layup. Take a right-handed shot as an example: take a big step forward with your right foot, and catch the ball as you step forward with your right foot. When you take the second step with your left foot, push off hard and jump forward, raising your right wrist naturally. When you reach the highest point in the air, open your fingers naturally, hold the lower part of the ball with your palms upward, and fully extend your right arm forward. When approaching the basket, use your wrists to lift and your fingers to spin the ball forward into the basket.

Things to note when shooting:

1. Use force from the soles of your feet, which means that although you shoot with your hands, the force comes from the front of your feet. Start with the palm of your hand, then pass through the ankles, knees, hips, upper body, arms, wrists, and finally transfer the force to the fingertips to throw the basketball.

2. The arm posture should be such that the upper arm and forearm are at 90 degrees, and the wrist extension is also at nearly 90 degrees with the forearm and parallel to the upper arm.

3. Keep your hands in contact with the basketball as long as possible (that is, follow the ball for a long time). This will help control the direction of the ball and increase your shooting accuracy.

4. When shooting, focus on the body's posture, movements and the rhythm of the entire shooting action.
