There are a lot of shots you can take in basketball, but most of them have a low success rate unless you practice them a lot. The only shot that has 99% success is the third half, and there are many moves you can make to get in the right position and score with this difficult-to-block technique.
Steps
Step 1. First you need to analyze the situation
Who is marking you? He is a tall or short player, slow or fast, fat or thin and other determining factors.
Step 2. Next, find a way to break through
Again you have to weigh all the factors: whether the hole is on your strong or weak side, whether it is on the dominant side of the defender, and so on.
Step 3. When you have decided to launch the attack you have to feint to jump the defender who marks you
You can change hands, rotate, stop & go, pull defender back, fake shot, and much more (these are just a few examples of the basic and most effective moves).
Step 4. With a change of hand you dribble towards one direction and then suddenly change it (both the dribbling hand and the direction), so the defender is a step or a half step behind you, and that's all you need. to overcome it
Step 5. Rotation involves dribbling and turning on yourself so that you leave the defender behind you and gain a full or half step advantage
Step 6. The lob has a relatively low percentage of success if you haven't practiced a lot, but it's almost impossible to block (even if the defender is much taller than you)
You have to dribble over the defender and 2-3 meters from the basket you have to jump with one foot and shoot without aiming at the backboard.
Step 7. You can make the defender back off when there is a lot of room to penetrate, or the defender who marks you is very weak (this technique does not work with defenders that are stronger, faster or taller than you)
Step 8. The stop & go is a movement that involves a quick dribble in one direction and then suddenly stops
The defender loses his balance and you can score.
Step 9. The fake shot, as the term implies, is a movement with which you mimic the intention of shooting to make the defender jump
When he is in mid-air he will not be able to change direction and you will be able to jump over him (this trick works if you are recognized as a good scorer from afar).
Step 10. Once you have beaten your direct opponent, if there are no other defenders blocking your way, you can safely go to the third half, but if another defender intervenes there are many things you can do to overcome him
Step 11. One of the most famous techniques is the first half
Grab the ball and take a simple jump. Inertia should push you forward; as mentioned before, you cannot change direction when you are in midair, so you will continue to move forward, unless a defender touches you and commits a foul. At this point you should have passed the opponent's weak side (or he has touched you), so you land and you are ready to shoot. If you fail to take the shot, throw the ball as if you were hit, the referee will call the foul.
Step 12. You can also try to do another rotation
While it's not very effective, if you're one of the bigger players it can work. After the rotation you can go to the basket and shoot.
Step 13. You can also try a reverse third half by approaching one side of the basket and then shooting on the other
It works if the defender jumps before you have reached the other side.
Step 14. Finally, you can combine these moves to create an infinite series of moves to clear your way to the hoop
Just remember that there are some basic moves or simply more effective than others, and that if you run into a defender bigger than you in the low position, go in with all your might to force him to commit a foul.
Advice
- Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Nate Wixom, Derrick Rose, Tony Parker and Lebron James are all great players to finish the action. Look at their technique.
- Always protect the ball from your opponent, use the hand you don't dribble with.
- Always shift your inertia to the weak side of the defender. If he's a lefty, force him to go right and vice versa.
- If the defender blocks your way on your dominant side, move to the other side. If you want to be a decent player, you need to be able to dribble with both hands. Just like Kobe Bryant who is able to combine an infinite amount of moves and feints to jump the opponent.
- Practice in the third half to go to the basket.
- Do not make exaggerated or extravagant movements. If you are facing a good defender, he will stay focused on your torso or hip area to understand where you are going and all these movements will cause you to lose your balance.
Warnings
- Try not to do too many stunts, sometimes if you are not man-marked you can go to the basket easily and score without problems.
- Be careful not to trip.
- Don't run too fast, you'll hit the wall.
