The basic skills of playing basketball are to practice dribbling first, and then shooting, defense and so on. If you are not good at dribbling, other skills are just empty talk and meaningless. This shows how important dribbling is!

Dribbling skills: Dribbling is actually for the purpose of breaking through or passing the opponent to achieve a successful attack. When dribbling, just keep the distance and use the first burst of speed to get rid of your opponent! Another point is rhythm! Rhythm is important! It not only affects the breakthrough, but also determines the hit rate! For example, changing speed and direction! These kinds of breakthrough methods are very useful. If you want to use speed and reaction, I suggest you practice cross step.

Shooting skills: Only with a high shooting percentage can you get more points. Shooting mainly relies on wrist and finger strength, so doing push-ups may not be very effective. I recommend you to do finger push-ups, which is push-ups supported by your fingers. It may be tiring at first but it will get better with practice. Then there are the dumbbells. As I said before, the wrist is very important, so you can practice keeping your arms fixed and moving your wrists with dumbbells.

Defensive skills: Defense is also very important when playing basketball. Good defense can restrain the opponent's offense and disrupt the opponent's rhythm. Get into a defensive stance. When defending, your legs should be naturally separated, slightly longer than shoulder width, and your knees should be slightly bent inward. Stretch your arms straight and outward, swinging them up and down. Accurately guard the best time and steal the ball quickly, fiercely and accurately. If you see that the opponent is dribbling slowly, or there is a large gap in the dribbling, you can quickly attack to knock the ball away. After stealing the ball, you can launch a fast break to turn the passive situation into active one. Get into a defensive advantage in advance. When the opponent is about to attack, you must judge his route in advance. If the opponent is going to make a three-step layup, you must block his offensive route in advance. Can't let him take the first step.

It is still difficult for people who don't know how to play basketball to master the skills of basketball. Therefore, if you are very interested in playing basketball, you must be patient and attentive. Playing basketball has many functions, one of the most important of which is to grow taller.
