Basketball jump shot essentials

There are many types of jump shots, the simplest is the base jump shot, from which there are also derived jump shots, fade away jump shots and throw-away shots. The basic essentials of the base jump shot are as follows: First, bend the calf and concentrate the power on the calf. Then raise your arms, forming a "V" shape with both arms, lift the basketball above your head, jump up hard, and throw the basketball with your hands. The detailed movements of the hand are as follows: the thumb of the left hand and the thumb of the right hand form a "T" shape, and the index finger of the right hand is pressed on the center of the ball. Pay attention to the finger. The index finger finally leaves the ball. Be careful not to throw the ball with the left hand, as this will affect the path of the ball. As for emergency stops, it’s best to find good sneakers first. Pay attention to your footwork when running. When stopping suddenly, your feet should form a positive "eight" shape. In this way, you can use the friction on the inside of your feet to stop, jump up immediately, and shoot. The fadeaway jump shot requires the ability to stay in the air. On the basis of the base jump shot, the body can be tilted backward when taking off to prevent the cover. But be careful not to lean back too much, otherwise you may fall. As for the throwing hand, it is somewhat similar to the hook hand, but different. When your back is turned to the defender, you suddenly turn around and throw the basketball with one hand. Note that it is one hand. At this time, the other hand is completely useless. The other actions are the same as the base jumper.

There are many different shooting methods in basketball training and games, but no matter which shooting method, there are two things that must be done:

First, exert force from the soles of the feet. , that is to say, although the ball is shot with the hands, the force is initiated from the forefoot, and then passes through the ankle, knee, hip, upper body, arm, wrist, and finally the force is transferred to the fingertips to throw the basketball. The entire transfer of power should be a coherent and coordinated process.

The second arm posture should be 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. Hold the back and lower part of the ball with your fingers. When shooting, stretch your arms upwards and forwards (pointing to the basket of course), bend your wrists upwards and forwards, and finally push the ball out with your fingers. This way the basketball will produce backspin when shooting, and will not produce backspin when it hits the backboard or basket. Big backlash. You should also 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 the shooting rate. Don't think too much about whether the ball went into the basket at the beginning. Focus on body posture, movement, and the rhythm of the entire shooting motion. You have to repeat the same action essentials every time you shoot. When the correct shooting action becomes smooth, your shooting rate will naturally increase. You should also practice shooting at different positions and angles from the basket.

The advantage of a jump shot is that it is not as easy to be blocked by the opponent as a standing shot. Young athletes may not be able to do jump shots due to insufficient strength in their legs, arms, shoulders and back muscles. They can give up temporarily. Otherwise, wrong movements caused by insufficient strength will affect their self-confidence and make it difficult for them to achieve the required strength in the future. Get the ideal jump shot technique. The technical essentials of a jump shot are as follows:

Hold the ball with both hands, and place your non-shooting hand in front or to the side of the ball (according to your comfortable position). Place your shooting hand behind the ball, bend your knees slightly, hold the ball from your chest to above your eyes with both hands, and then bounce your feet upward. When jumping, bend your elbows (forearms back) and turn your wrists back. When jumping to the highest point, extend your forearm forward, throw the ball forward and downward with your wrist, follow the ball (refer to About Shooting) fully, and keep your eyes on the basket.

The three-point line jump shot may not be able to hit the right place at first due to lack of strength or the habit of exerting force developed for a long time in mid-range shooting. The original poster can practice flip shooting first, and gradually adapt to long-distance shooting, and it will naturally You can now shoot jump shots~~ Haven’t you seen many national team players also use flip shots when no one is guarding the three-point line?

Furthermore, shooting habits also have something to do with it. Some athletes are used to letting a little air hang in the air when shooting during mid-range shooting. Hanging in the air must have an impact on strength. It doesn't matter for mid-range shots, but long-range shots do. It’s different. You can try to practice reducing the time in the air when shooting three-pointers from long range. Try practicing more!

When shooting a jump shot, the muscles on the arms must work in coordination. When jumping, the strength of the upper body must be reasonably transmitted to the arms through the knees and spine. The forward momentum of the ball comes from the waist and wrists, requiring the abdominal muscles to pull the waist. Contraction, and you must master the elasticity of your wrist, so that you can throw a ball with moderate power and a reasonable arc. When you take off, keep your body upward or think back, and try to avoid jumping forward.
