2. About basketball jump shots:

1. Hold the ball with both hands, and place the non-shooting hand in front or 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.

2. The jump shot from the three-point line may not be able to reach 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. You can practice pad shooting first, and slowly adapt to long-distance shooting. Naturally, he can shoot jump shots.

3. In addition, shooting habits are also related. Some athletes are used to letting a little air hang in the air when shooting during the mid-range shot. Hanging in the air must have an impact on strength. For mid-range shots, it does not matter, but it is far away. Shooting is different. You can try to practice reducing the time in the air when shooting three-pointers from long range.

4. When jumping, 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, which requires abdominal muscles. Pull the waist to contract, and control the elasticity of the wrist, so that you can throw a ball with moderate power and a reasonable arc. When taking off, keep your body upward or backward, and try to avoid jumping forward.

About the force used in jump shots:

1. The moment you jump up and shoot the ball, the force of the whole body must be coordinated. The waist that is least able to exert force must not be loose but must also exert force. The entire shooting movement should be natural and stretched, at least it will look comfortable to others. You

2. The ball should stick to the palm of the hand and roll out at the moment of release. The tip of the middle finger is the last part to leave the body. Your wrists and palms should be soft when shooting.

3. When shooting a jump shot, you should first exert force from your feet. This is the so-called "shooting starts from both feet." After taking off, exert force on the waist, but do not let the waist become stiff, otherwise the shooting posture will be ugly. After reaching the highest point, move the wrist, and pay attention to the last moment when the ball leaves the hand, the force should be exerted by the fingers. To complete the standard shooting posture, you must have good jumping ability and staying power; therefore, you should pay attention to doing sit-ups and doing more training on the roots of the thighs and calves.
