What are the techniques of basketball?

Basketball has a long history of development, mainly because playing basketball has a positive role in promoting people's physical fitness. Of course, basketball skills are also very important. If you don’t have good basketball skills, it will be easy to lose on the court, and you will feel very frustrated. So what are the basketball techniques? Next, let us learn about it together, especially those who like to play basketball should pay special attention.

Defense does not rely on hands, but on footwork. Footwork is the key to becoming an excellent defender! Most players have a wrong way of defending, that is, when the opponent breaks through, they don’t use their footsteps to block it first, but use their hands to pull it back first. In fact, this is extremely wrong. If the opponent touches your hand, you will definitely be called for a defensive foul and it will not play any defensive role at all. My experience in dealing with players who are fast and good at breaking through is: first lower your body, that is, half squat, so that your hands can touch the ground at any time. Keep your eyes on the ball in the opponent's hands. There are only a few ways for the opponent to break through, including direct acceleration, change of direction, and separation of the ball. It is easiest to accelerate directly. As long as you get your feet in position first, you will block the opponent's attack route and you don't have to make any extra movements. Therefore, the usual sliding training may seem useless, but it is actually the foundation of defense.

For a change of direction breakthrough, it is actually the best time to steal the ball. When the ball transitions from one side to the other (from left to right or dribbling behind the back), the ball and the hand are separated. As long as the opponent is not too far away from you, you can boldly go forward to grab the ball. It is very important that you prepare to half-squat in advance. Only in this way can you ensure that you can immediately return to defense if you fail to grab the ball, so that the opponent will not turn around or dribble past you from behind. Timing is very important, and it takes constant practice to master. The ball-pass is a very fancy way of passing the ball. There are roughly several ways to do it, such as over the head, from behind, and through the crotch. As long as you concentrate, you generally won't be fooled. This type of player is generally more fancy and has good skills. Be careful not to be fooled by him. If the opponent likes to carry you around, just let him carry you around. Wait for him to enter your defensive area and then defend. If he fails to break through several times, he will not do that again.

When the opponent is taller than you, he will generally choose to attack you alone, because tall people have stronger self-confidence than short people. In fact, the advantage of tall players is only reflected under the basket, and they have no advantage when dribbling the ball. If you make good use of the above defensive techniques, it will be difficult for the opponent to get into the basket. This is the method generally adopted by tall players. 90% of them are jump shots. It is indeed difficult to defend at this time, but there are solutions. First of all, if you are close to your opponent, get close to him with all your strength, with your left leg blocking the left side and your right leg blocking the right side, making it impossible for the opponent to move. At the same time, raise both hands high. If you can jump high, you can try to block the shot. If your jumping ability is not good, use your hands to block his face. The opponent's shot will be greatly reduced. If you are far away, try your best to knock the ball away from him when he is in shooting posture. Frankly speaking, this is difficult. It is difficult to grasp the timing without several years of playing experience. I wonder if you remember the quarterfinals between the Rockets and the Lakers, in which Mobley knocked down Kobe's shots several times when defending him. Mobley did not jump as high as Kobe, with a height difference of nearly 15 centimeters between him and Kobe, but he limited Kobe's score to more than 10 points (it is unlikely to limit it completely), all relying on his experience, footwork and quick hands.

For those who like to play basketball, it is important to understand the techniques of basketball. Of course, basketball is a relatively intense sport. Therefore, when playing basketball, you must be alert to all directions and not let others bump into you. Otherwise, when you are injured, not only will you not be able to work and study normally, you will also not be able to play basketball anymore.
