Hey guys! I'm Victão, player of basketball, founder of the social project Basquete pra Vida. Here I'm today to continue the serie of basic fundamentals of basketball Today I will talk about layups Well, jumpshots are a bit personal, like one's fingerprint but they can be corrected and you can make them a little more efficiente, so the mechanics.
Well, the layup consists in making a point, of course And I can teach the right form and the right mechanic for you to execute your point. So I will demonstrate some forms of layups if you look, some players have diferent jumpshots some of them do it more to one side, to the other side But the most commun and efficient one is used by Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Klay Thompson is the jumpshot that you make it almost on top of you head (in the foreheaded). Making an angle of 90 degrees.
Well, the jumpshot, if you are starting now if you still don't have strenght to reach the basket The strenght of a jumpshot come from the legs So for exemple, you do a jumpshot, if you want to ace the shot Get down and then jump to make to score. This is very helpful, the legs help a lot on the jumpshot If you still don't have strenght enought to put the ball close to your head and ace the shot, fell free to make it with the ball under. When I started in basket, I used to shot from under, but as soon as I could have strenght to do it on top, I started to do it and do it with ease, I will demonstrate now the right way to hold the ball to shoot.
The right way to hold the ball is to have one hand over it and the other on the side, with your fingers doing a "T" in the ball. Can you see it? Your thumbs doing a "T" And this is the movement, you are holding the ball bring close to you and shoot in way your arm end straight in this way.
One of the principal stuffs in jumpshots to do be" deaden', like some say your jumpshot goes spinning. It goes spinning backwards and the movement that makes the ball have this spin Is the famous ''spin''. Is this movement, caracteristic of basketball.
. You can see all the players doing this move in the end, it is essencial to the ball fall with ease in the basket. You do the movement, streach your arms, break the position of the hand.
Like that guys, just like that. Well, be aware in the moment of the jumpshot to not touch in the palm of your hand. You have to shoot holding only with your fingers in a way that, when you throw is possible of putting a finger between the palm of you hand and the ball.
(in the screen: Ball. ) And the other hand works only as help. This hand don't make such a change, the one you use is the right, the other is just to hold the ball.
When you do the movement right in the right way, and you train you are not going to fail. That's it folks. Catch up.
So guys, this was the jumpshot video Let suggestions, doubts or anything, really, in the commentary box I will read every one. And that's it folks. thank you.
We are together. Ball is life.
