Can I learn basketball at the age of twenty? I really want to learn.

Skills of playing basketball

First, dribble

Basic skills of dribbling: the center of gravity should be low and steady when dribbling, and the height of dribbling should be below the waist. Watch the ball from the corner of your eye to prevent it from touching your feet. You should skillfully cross the ball with your hands, hit the ball with your palms down, and don't turn your wrists. A good dribbling technique should be that the ball follows you like it "sticks" to the body, not that you run after it. You can practice dribbling with bamboo poles as people.

The change of dribbling technology: the change of dribbling is a common technology and a practical technology. It is to change the direction quickly when dribbling, so that the opponent is caught off guard, and some can even shake the other side, making you pass easily. Pay attention to the usual practice of dribbling under the leg, dribbling behind the back and crossing dribbling, which is a necessary skill to complete the change of direction dribbling. Keep your body down, improve the dribbling speed and try to find friends to practice in actual combat.

Second, the breakthrough.

One of the elements of breakthrough: a quick and accurate first step. The first step will play an important role in the success of the breakthrough. The first step is the most important. We often see Jordan, Iverson and others accelerate directly, and only need one step to completely cross the defender's defensive area. This is the effect of the first step.

Of course, for most people, it is relatively impossible to surpass others in one step, so "accuracy" is a very important factor. Accuracy is the first step. In the face of the defender, you should at least jump to the position parallel to the opponent's feet, which will cause obstacles to the opponent's semi-turn and lateral movement, try to delay its movement time and create difficulties. This accuracy can actually be said to be "big".

The second element of breakthrough: heavy shoulders. Shoulder sinking is another element of breakthrough. The so-called shoulder sinking is to sink the shoulders and lower the center of gravity to facilitate the confrontation in action. Jordan and Kobe are the two people who have the best application of shoulder sinking technology. Shoulders down, against the defender, occupy a favorable position, do not relax. Many people often do not pay attention to the competition for favorable positions when they break through, which leads to the success of the first step and then finds that there are defenders in front.

The third element of breakthrough: pace. This is the most important point, that is, consciousness must be in the footsteps. Use your own flexibility, rely on the defender to occupy a favorable position with his body, and have a conscious step. Never pay attention to how your hand dribbles without being broken. In this process, we should pay attention to how our feet move quickly, not how to prevent others from breaking the ball. If the pace is good and the ball is integrated, it will naturally achieve good results. It is impossible to have a good breakthrough without considering being intercepted.

Third, pass the ball

Basic posture of passing skills: when passing the ball, put your hands on your chest, your fingers are naturally separated, your palms hold the ball outward, your wrists are bent backwards, your legs are naturally separated, shoulder-width apart or lunged forward, keep your center of gravity stable, and look straight ahead (it is best to learn to look six times).

Direction and strength of passing skills: directionality is very important when passing. This seems simple, but it is not. When you see a teammate's position, you will pass the ball in his direction, sometimes it will not reach the designated position or be intercepted by the opponent, because most players in the game are always moving, so it is impossible to pass the ball directly. They should have radians, judge the players' direction in advance and pass the ball in advance.

In addition, when passing the ball, the strength should not be too great or too light. Passing the ball too hard or too fast will make it more difficult for teammates to catch the ball and easy to lose it. Short pass or slow ball speed is easy for the other side to steal.

Fourth, shoot

Basic posture of shooting skills: before shooting, you should pose correctly. When holding the ball, your right hand is the main one, and your left hand is the auxiliary one (the opposite is true for people who are used to using their left hand). Hold the palm of your right hand and ask for it, and the five fingers will naturally separate. The joints of armpit, inside elbow, back of right hand and forearm should be at right angles or close to right angles. Put your left hand slightly on the edge of the basketball to ensure the stability of the basketball. Keep your upper body straight, don't shrug your shoulders, and your feet will land naturally. The distance between your feet is shoulder width.

Shooting skills Step 3 layup: Before layup, keep your body center of gravity down, dribble no more than your waist, keep your body stable and your upper body straight. When running, lean forward as far as possible, slap the basketball with your palms down, and don't flip your wrists. When taking off in the third step, the wrist naturally throws the ball out and tries to be as soft as possible, so that the basketball has room for maneuver. This way, the shooting percentage is higher. Many beginners often miss the last shot, or use too much force, the ball flies away after hitting the board, or the strength is insufficient, and after throwing the ball, they just wipe the net or even the air ball. The basis of three-step layup is to practice the basic skills of shooting, especially shooting under the basket. When pitching, use your hands evenly, gently and flexibly.

Shooting strength and radian of shooting skills: When pitching, pay attention to the strength of pushing the ball forward with your right hand and the running radian of the ball. The strength of a general right-handed shooter depends on the distance from your position to the basket. When pitching, you should stir the ball with your palm to make the basketball spin in the air, so that the hit rate is higher. After pitching, your right arm should be straight. Basketball should run a high arc, which can improve the hit rate, that is, throw the ball as high as possible.

Playing basketball is a team sport and pays attention to the tacit understanding of the players, so the slogan "No brothers, no basketball" is often heard, which shows that basketball is a team sport. Only by mastering the basic essentials of playing basketball can we evolve more skills.
