A basket shot is performed when you run towards the basket with a basketball and throw it from the left or right side.

Steps

1. 1 Choose the side you want to shoot from - left or right.
2. 2 Dribble the ball towards the basket with the hand with which you run. If you are on the right side, then lead with your right hand. If on the left, then lead with your left hand.
3. 3 When you run up to the three-point point, place the opposite foot on the side you will be shooting from.
4. 4 Take the ball in the opposite leg.
5. 5 Run in two large strides towards the basket.
6. 6 About 2 meters from the basket, stop dribbling and push off with your foot closer to the basket. When jumping towards the basket, make sure that the knee should rise to the chest.
7. 7 Throw the ball into the top corner of the basketball backboard with the farthest hand from the basket (with the right hand on the right side; with the left on the left side).
8. 8 If you do everything correctly, then the ball should hit from the backboard and fly into the basket.

Tips

• It is easiest to do a basket throw if you are not a perfectionist.
• You will find it easier to shoot from under the basket after practicing off the ball.
• If you are confused about which knee to raise and which hand to throw, then practice raising your knee and arm at the same time.
• Aim at the square on the shield.
• If you run to the right, then aim at the right side of the white square of the shield and vice versa if you run to the left.This is called the “golden mean”.
• Practice basket throwing on the court or in the park.

Warnings

• If you are too far from the basket, the ball will hit the ring and will not enter the basket.
• Don't throw the ball too hard or it will fly off the backboard.
• Be careful not to throw too far under the basket. This sometimes happens when you are running too fast, which can result in a miss.
