I LIKE THE BASKETBALL

Shares with us a text in which he expresses some ideas about basketball and explains why he likes it so much. It also shows four very cool images where it appears in full action. Like the rest of collaborators, many thanks for your interest. May you continue to enjoy basketball and other sports ninety or a hundred more years.

I love basketball because you play in a team and you run a lot. I started playing on the Cristo Rey team this year. My companions are very positive and cheerful.

Before a game I feel a little nervous because I'm looking forward to playing. During the match we encourage each other. On the court, the secret is to pass as fast as possible, make easy passes and put the maximum points as a team. If you can not score, it is best to pass to a partner who is free or can easily receive a pass.

After playing we are very happy although we have lost because we have had a great time, we have learned new things and we have more friends. I love basketball!
There is a saying, "A good attack wins games, but a good defense wins championships." It's a very common statement when you describe the most successful basketball teams - at any level of play. However, defense is not the priority for most players and coaches in matches. Why does that happen? For starters, when you learn to defend in basketball is not easy, but you can do it. Sadly, most players and coaches do not put much effort and time to defend on the court. Another reason why they do not focus on improving defense is because it is not as fun as other aspects of the game. Yes - throwing, throwing, passing and other offensive aspects are more enjoyed by learning, teaching and practicing them. But with the aim of being complete in all aspects of the game, players and coaches should devote a part of their time in learning the defense. It is essential to your success! The 10 criteria in the list below will help you determine if a player can be considered completely defensive.
- In the open defense and post man to man. If your coach wants you to run, retain an area, or whatever, it is your decision but in the end this takes you man to man.
- You must first develop the right defense, find out if your opponent is right or left-handed and try to place one foot and one arm forward to force him to use his weak side. If you have your hand in the middle and it happens to you, you will be in a position to steal the ball.
- You must move to where he goes so that you are aware of when he wants to pass and you use to steal the ball.
- If you decide to drive, keep your body, not your arms, between him and the basket. If you put yourself in shooting position, place your strong hand up and try to block the shot or at least distract it. If it is much higher, place your hand on your face. Jump only if he jumps because he can fuck you.

How to play basketball

Are you interested in being a better basketball player? If you are a beginner or if you just hope to get off the bench and join the game, there are ways to improve your techniques in basketball. After all, even the most competitive of players trains the best they can every day! Try to develop your resistance or learn to dribble more easily and you will be well on your way to the NBA.

Use the correct posture to dribble. To keep you moving you should bend your knees, place them at the level of your shoulders and lean slightly forward on the toes of your feet. Do not stand with your feet flat on the floor and your knees extended. When dribbling, throw the ball to a height no greater than your waist. In a defensive posture, the ball should be no higher than your knees or mid-thigh.

Learn to dribble with each hand. When you first begin, you will need to understand how the ball moves and responds to the force you put into it. Also, we recommend exercising with each hand separately to feel comfortable going to the right and left. It alternates bouncing it with much force and soon with gently.

A good exercise to dribble with which you can start is to do it 20 times in a row with the right hand and then with the left. Do three sets at the beginning of a basketball routine and three more at the end.

At first, stand still, but keep your knees bent and jump with your toes to keep you moving. When you get used to dribbling in a fixed position, do the same exercise while walking and finally, when you get used to it, do it while you run.

Alternate your hands when you are moving. Start dribbling on the court or on the road in a zig zag pattern: go forward and right in two steps and shoot the ball with your left hand, then go forward and left in two steps. When you do, do the same in reverse.

Place a row of cones 5 m apart in a straight line to practice the dribble.

Keep your eyes up. One of the most important points to learn in the early stages of the dribble is to do it without looking at the ball. At first it is difficult, but in the long run you will need to feel the ball without having to see it. Choose a point (such as the hoop of a basketball basket) in which to fix your sight as you begin to dribble and practice your exercises.

How to dribble a basketball

When you see an NBA player getting rid of a defender with a dribble between his legs, or behind his back at incredible speed, you're seeing the result of years of patient practice. If you are a beginner, even the simplest of dribbles can be intimidating at first. Fortunately, with patience, anyone can become a good ball driver. To learn from scratch you have to put a lot of dedication, but with this guide (and lots of practice), you can eventually dribble the opponents.
Touch the ball with your fingertips, not your palms. When you dribble, you will want your hands to be in contact with the ball in a way that allows you to have good control over the ball without using too much arm force to bounce it. For this reason, do not hit the ball with your palms. Instead, try to handle the ball with your fingertips. Extend your fingers on the surface of the balloon to have a greater and more even contact area.
Keep your posture low. When you dribble, it is not very smart to stand erect. In this pose, the ball has to travel all the way from the top of your body to the ground and back up when it bounces, leaving it exposed for a defender to steal. Before starting to dribble, take a low and defensive posture. Open your feet at shoulder height. Bend your knees and release your hip slightly back (as if you were sitting in a chair). Keep your head up and your upper body upright. This is a good balanced base, as it protects the ball while allowing enough mobility.

Bounce the ball to the ground. Manipulate the ball with your fingertips, keep it in your clever hand and make it bounce against the ground. Rub it firmly, but not so much that you have to use your arm strength or it causes ball control problems. Your dribble must be fast, but still, firm and controlled. Each time the ball returns to your hand, without grabbing or catching it, make contact with your fingertips and push it back down with a controlled wrist and forearm motion. Again, you should not tire your arm while you dribble. The ball must bounce at a point on the ground at your side and forward of the foot line on the side of the hand that is dribbling.
Keep your hand on the top of the ball. When dribbling, it is important to control the movements of the ball. You do not want to escape, as this would give the opponents possession of the ball. Try to keep the palm of your hand well on the ball while you move so when it bounces upward, it will go directly to the tip of your fingers. This will give you more control over the ball as you move on the court.
Keep the ball at a low height. The shorter and faster you bounce the ball, the harder it is for your opponent to steal it. A safe way to bounce the ball short is to simply bounce it close to the ground. Since you are in the low posture (with your knees bent and your hips pulled back), it should not be unnatural to bounce from the apex to any point between your knee and your hip. Keep your knees bent, drop your skillful hand to the side of your leg and dribble with low and short movements.
