Basic skills for playing basketball

Skills for playing basketball 1. Dribbling

Basic skills of dribbling:

When dribbling The center of gravity should be low and stable, and the dribbling height should be below the waist. Look at the ball with the corner of your eye to prevent the ball from hitting your feet. Be proficient in dribbling with your hands crossed, hitting the ball with your palms down, and don't turn your wrist. Good dribbling skills should be like the ball "sticking" to you, it follows you instead of you chasing the ball. You can use bamboo poles as people to practice dribbling.

Dribbling skills: change of direction dribbling:

Change of direction dribbling is a commonly used skill for extraordinary people, and it is also a practical skill of dribbling. That is, changing the direction quickly when dribbling, catching the opponent off guard, and some can even knock the opponent down, so that you can easily pass them. Pay attention to practice dribbling under the crotch, behind the back and cross dribbling, etc. These are the necessary skills to complete the change of direction dribbling. When changing direction and dribbling, you need to lower your body, increase your dribbling speed, and try to find a friend for actual practice.

Basketball skills 2. Breakthrough

One of the elements of breakthrough

A quick and accurate first step. Whether a breakthrough is successful or not, the first step will play an important role. The most important first step is to be quick. We often see Jordan, Iverson and others accelerating directly and completely crossing the defender's defensive area in just one step. This is the effect of a quick first step.

Of course, for most people, the possibility of forcibly overtaking someone in one step is still relatively small, so accuracy is a very important factor. The so-called accuracy means that in the first step, facing the defender, you must at least step forward to a position parallel to the opponent's feet. This will create obstacles for the opponent's half-turn side movement, delay his movement time as much as possible, and create difficulties. This accuracy can actually be said to be "big".

The second element of breakthrough

Sink shoulders. Shoulder sinking is another element of breakthrough. The so-called shoulder sinking is to lower the shoulders and lower the center of gravity to facilitate confrontation during movement. The two best people to use the technique of shoulder sinking are undoubtedly Jordan and Kobe. Keep your shoulders down, fight the defender, and stay in a good position without relaxing. Many people tend not to pay attention to the fight for favorable positions when breaking through, resulting in a successful first step and then finding that the defender is in front of them.

The third element of breakthrough

Pace. This is the most important point, that is, awareness must be on the steps. Use your flexibility to lean on the defender to occupy a favorable position. Be aware of your steps. Don't pay attention to how your hands can dribble without being interrupted. In this process, you should pay attention to how quickly you move your feet rather than how to prevent others from stealing the ball. Once the steps are done well and the ball and man are integrated, good results will naturally be achieved. And thinking about not being intercepted, it is impossible to have a good breakthrough.

Basketball skills 3. Passing

Basic postures of passing skills:

When passing the ball, place your hands in front of your chest and spread your fingers naturally. Hold the ball with your palms outward, bend your wrists backwards, and spread your legs naturally, shoulder width apart or in a lunge position. The center of gravity should be stable, and your eyes should be looking straight ahead (it is best to learn to observe the six directions).

Direction and strength of passing skills:

When passing the ball, directionality is very important. This may seem simple, but it is not. After looking at the position of a teammate and passing the ball in his direction, sometimes the pass is not in place or is intercepted by the opponent. This is because most players in the game are moving all the time and cannot pass the ball in a straight line. There should be an arc. , judge the forward direction of the players in advance and pass the ball ahead of time.

In addition, when passing the ball, do not use too much force or too little force. Passing too hard or the ball speed is too fast will make it more difficult for teammates to catch the ball, and it is easy to lose the ball; passing the ball too short or the ball speed is very slow, it is easy for the opponent to lose the ball. Steals.

Basketball skills 4. Shooting

Basic postures of shooting skills.

Before shooting, your posture should be correct. When holding the ball, your right hand is the main one and your left hand is the auxiliary one (the opposite is true for left-handed people). The palm of your right hand holds the prayer, and the five fingers are naturally spread apart. The armpit, the inside of the elbow, the back of the right hand and the junction of the forearm should all be at right angles or close to right angles. Place your left hand slightly on the side of the basketball to ensure that the basketball is stable.

Keep your upper body straight, don't shrug your shoulders, and place your feet naturally on the ground, with the distance between them shoulder-width apart.

Shooting skills: three-step layup.

Before going for a layup, you should lower your body's center of gravity, do not dribble past your waist, keep your body steady, and keep your upper body straight. When running, lean forward as much as possible, slap the basketball with your palms down, and don't turn your wrists. When you jump up in the third step, your wrist naturally pulls the ball out, trying to be as gentle as possible to give the basketball room to maneuver. This way the shooting percentage is higher. Many beginners often fail in the last step of shooting, or they use too much force and the ball hits the board and flies away, or they lack strength and just touch the net after throwing the ball or even miss it. The basis of the three-step layup is to practice the basic shooting skills, especially shooting under the basket. When pitching, hand strength should be used evenly, preferably softly, and the wrist should be flexible.

Shooting skills: shooting strength and arc.

When pitching, you should also pay attention to the force of your right hand pushing the ball forward and the arc of the ball. Generally, for right-handed shooting players, the strength should be determined according to the distance from your position to the basket. When shooting, the ball should be moved with the palm of the hand to allow the basketball to rotate in the air. This way the hit rate is higher. After throwing the ball, the right arm should be Straighten. The running arc of the basketball should be higher, which can improve the shooting rate, that is, try to throw the ball as high as possible.
