Therefore, in the face of such a phenomenon, we must understand the basic skills of playing basketball in time. So let us take a look at the basic skills of basketball together.

Basketball basics:

When bouncing the ball, you should slowly feel as if there is something connecting the ball and your hand, and the ball is sticking to your hand.

The shooting posture is to place your feet naturally apart, facing the basket, and your body parallel to the backboard. Place the basketball in your hand, leaving the palm empty and the edges of your palms pressed against the ball. Spread your fingers naturally and keep them close to the basketball. The upper arm is parallel to the ground, the forearm is perpendicular to the ground, and the palm is basically parallel to the ground. When shooting, use your wrist to shake the basketball with your index and middle fingers, and coordinate with your waist and thighs.

Dribbling posture

When dribbling, use the elbow as the axis and move the forearm along with the basketball. The ball should be at the highest point of the elbow joint, that is, the forearm should be parallel to the ground.

Passing posture

Squat naturally, spread your hands apart, fingers pointing up, and face each other without exceeding the diameter. When passing the ball, use your thumb, index finger, and middle finger to move the basketball and rotate the shot. When catching the ball, you must grasp the landing point. After catching the ball, quickly bring it to your chest and practice passing it quickly.

Autobiography

Similar to passing the ball, the pass is made in parallel, and you can slide left and right, forward and backward, and adjust your position according to where the ball lands. The slide should be quick and natural, and the pass should be fast.

Passing posture

Either foot can be used as an axis, then choose the left one.

Three-step layup

From the left backboard, take a step with the left foot first (bigger), then step with the right foot (quickly and forcefully), put the right foot on the ground with force, (lift the left foot upward with force and raise the left thigh parallel to the ground), jump and lift the left foot upward, stay in the air, and flick the ball for a layup with the left hand, the direction is 45 degrees to the basket, flick the ball with fingers, throw it upward, hit the basket, and bounce it into the basket. The movements should be natural and smooth. The third step falls naturally.

Snake Run

When running to the right, tap the ball with your right hand, with your right foot behind and your left foot in front. Move forward to the right. When stopping, the left foot is behind and the right foot is in front. At this time, turn right, with left foot in front and right foot behind. Pass the ball from right hand to left hand, run to left, and repeat the above action in reverse.

Turnaround Shot

With your back to the backboard, hold the ball with both hands, elbows apart naturally in front of your chest, fingers pointing up.

Crab Step

When moving to the right, turn your feet inward and slightly wider than your shoulders, do a horse stance, with your center of gravity at the back, lift your hands, step your right foot forward and to the right, and follow with your left foot, keeping your feet inward and slightly wider than your shoulders, do a horse stance, with your center of gravity at the back, lift your hands. Then repeat the movement to the right front. When the right foot moves to the right front again, the left foot at the left rear moves to the left front, and the center of gravity changes from right to left. The movement method is the opposite of the above.

The above is an introduction to the basic skills of basketball. If you really want to learn basketball well, the first thing you should practice is not these. Instead, you should first understand how to shoot and pay attention to the strength. You must train the strength of your palms. This is the best for playing basketball. You should also master some shooting skills in your daily life. You must be steady and accurate. Only in the long run can you get real improvement results.
