Improve your ball handling skills. Some experts believe that the ability to handle the ball well is the most important skill of the game. You should not think much about dribbling the ball if you practice a lot. A good way to improve this ability is through dribbling exercises.
Practice with circular dribbling. In this exercise, you use a hand to dribble the ball in circles around your right foot. Then switch to the other hand and leg. Practice the dirbles between cones or chairs.
Try to make dribbles of figure 8, in which you dribble the ball in and out of your legs, using a movement of figure 8. You throw the ball from one hand to the other. Practice your dribble with both hands so you can change directions on the floor more easily.
The "suicidal" dribbling exercises condition you as you improve your ability. It starts in the baseline. Dribble in race to the nearest free throw line and return. Then, dribble to the middle field and return. Then dribble to the farthest free throw line and return. Finally, dribble to the other side of the field and return.
It starts at one end of the field. Dribble along the entire field and make a tray or jump shot. Collect your own rebound and do the same, moving on the other side of the field. Do it 3 times as fast as you can.
Improve your pass ability. Passing is a skill that basketball players must master. There are two basic ways to go. One is a chest pass in which you throw the ball to your partner without bouncing. The second is a rebound pass, in which you bounce the ball once when you throw your partner. This is the most difficult pass to intercept for a defender.
Players working on pass skills can play an informal game in which they do not dribble much so that they can focus more on the pass. Practice the pass to two hands. This will give you more control over the ball.
Add your weight to the pass with one foot. This will improve the speed and control of the ball. Aim at the hands of your partner when making the pass. Make the pass to a specific member of the team instead of throwing the ball in the direction of your voice.
Your thumbs should point down at the end of a pass and you should continue. Otherwise, the ball will be harder to catch because it does not have the proper spin.
You do not have to pass the ball with great speed. Do not forget that the pass should be easy. If you do it very complicated, you will cause more ball losses.
Do not jump when you pass. If you do, you can not fall to the floor with the ball so it is more difficult. Move to the ball when you pass. This makes it more difficult for a defense to intercept it. Try to catch him with both hands.
Improve your releases. The pitchers get a lot of glory and obviously are critical to the game, but no one wants to be in a situation where there are people blocking your shots or where many fail. That will make them return to the bench.
Use the tips of your fingers. This helps maintain control of the ball when you throw.
Bend your legs and stay shrunk when you start the shoot. Then stretch and end up, with your body straight and your hands up in the air. When players start the shot while standing straight, they can decrease their throwing percentage. The legs are critical in the shots. What's more, you should play the entire game with your knees bent.
Go for the highest percentage of shots. Do not always try to throw complicated shots. Find out which shots are harder and focus on the easy ones. This will make you look like a better pitcher overnight.
Point your elbow toward the middle of the ring and hold it as your middle finger when you follow up. Finish your throw as if you were dipping your hand into the ring. Proper follow up also means that your fingers should hang down, not be together.
Fully extend your arm at the end of the pitch, with your elbow and keep it above your eyes when you release the ball. (nir).
