Where is the aiming point when shooting? Eyes should focus on the back edge of the hoop. When you see this, you can throw it into the net. Many coaches teach players to aim at the front of the basket, so you have to throw farther than aiming at the basket. You should shoot every time, just like a god pitcher.

deploy

Whether it's a free throw or a jumper, is the shooter in the right position? If you shoot with your right hand, your right foot should point directly at the center of the hoop. When making a free throw, the right foot should be placed at the midpoint of the free throw line, and the left foot should be slightly in front. The most important thing is to feel comfortable standing. Remember, the shooter should cultivate stability, which comes from habit and from feeling comfortable and natural.

share

Be careful when holding the ball. Touch the ball with your fingers and palms. You can't touch the ball with your palm. There should be a gap between the ball and the hand, so that it feels soft. Control the ball with your fingers, not too tight.

knee

I advocate bending your knees a little when you make a free throw. Like other lenses, the knee joint must be stable and consistent. The basic premise is that the simpler the stroke, the smaller the movement, and the greater the chance of getting a consistent and stable stroke.

The following action of the ball and hand after hitting the ball.

Hit the ball gently and smoothly, don't suddenly use force, otherwise it will make the ball leave your hand too fast, so the hit rate will drop. To soften the net, the ball should shoot from the end of the finger and naturally leave the finger. If the ball touches the palm of your hand, you can't touch the rim lightly.

arc

If the ball hits the basket and bounces back, it tells you that the shooting is too flat, but the arc is not enough. Lack of curvature will prevent the ball from gently touching the basket. When making a free throw, the highest point of the arc should be 3-4 feet (about 1 m) on the basket. The farther you throw, the higher the arc will be.

Eye gaze (after the ball is released)

Does the shooter's eyes follow the flight curve of the ball? This is a common problem. Don't focus on the flight of the ball-it's easy for the pitcher to miss the target before the ball is shot, which will affect the hit rate.

The rotation of the ball

Like radian, the rotation of the ball depends on the distance between the ball and the iron ring. The ball around the free throw line has to rotate for a week and a half to reach the basket. If there is no proper backspin, the ball will hit the basket and go out instead of falling into the net.

be sure of oneself

Proper practice brings success and gives people confidence, and self-confidence makes you believe in the effect of practice and continue to practice. This is a wonderful cycle. Most excellent pitchers have a clear idea before pitching. Stand confidently in front of the free throw line.
