So how do you learn how to throw the ring correctly? SOVSPORT. ENstudied this issue in detail and is ready to provide you with several recommendations in this regard.

There are different types of throw: from the pass, classic, slam dunk, free throw, with a rebound from the shield, without it, and so on. Let's take a look at what each of them is.

free throw

First, let's look at the basic technique of all basketball shots - the free throw technique. The ball should be at chest level (feet can be in the same line or one leg extended slightly forward) is held with fingers, elbows near the body, legs at the knee joints are slightly bent, the body is straight, the gaze is directed to the basket. Simultaneously with the circular movement of the ball (as in a simultaneous pass) and even more bending of the legs at the knee joints, the ball is brought to the chest. Without stopping the movement, the ball is carried along the body up and down in the direction of the ring and with a sweeping movement of the hands, giving the ball, the reverse movement is released from the fingertips, while the legs are straightened. The weight of the body is transferred to the front leg, the body and arms must accompany the flight of the ball. After releasing the ball, the player returns to the starting position.

A shot in basketball is the logical conclusion to every attack. At the same time, an accurate throw and the points scored as a result are the basis for determining the winner in the game. Is it possible today to imagine basketball without throws? But everyone can throw the ball towards the hoop, but to perform a basketball throw correctly ...

Throws are the base part of . There are different types of throw: from the pass, hook and half hook, classic, slam dunk and so on. Mostly this variety of shots is caused by the position in which the attacker plays and how the ring is attacked. Naturally, in the process of working on improving your own throw, you must first of all focus on those throws that you perform the most in a game. At the same time, one should not forget about the value of universal basketball players, who, for example, will put a hook from the three-second zone and hit three. A stable and accurate "classic" throw should be in the arsenal of every basketball player (hopefully no need to explain here). That's what we're focusing on in this article: how to shoot properly in basketball. And for inspiration - a video of a crazy comeback from Tracy McGredy and a game with San Antonio. Here's what T-Mac does with his throw.

Let's try to start learning the technique of the classic throw in basketball by setting the right technique. The correct execution of the throw from the first basketball practice is the key to a successful career as a sniper. The fact is that the incorrect execution of the throw is very quickly remembered by the muscles and goes into the automatic stage. A wrong roll will be unstable and generally inaccurate. After that, relearning and placing the correct throw is much more difficult than initially using the correct throwing technique in basketball. From my own experience I can say that it took me a couple of months after the start of training to work out my first throwing method (wrong elbow placement - not under the ball along the perpendicular). Naturally, there is no need to talk about accuracy, but, nevertheless, I always threw the same way - equally wrong. It's good that the coach and the guys from the team noticed my mistake in time. I began to relearn, to put on a technically correct basketball throw. It was hellish work: while everyone worked out the speed and accuracy of the throw, I honed only the technique, not thinking about speed yet. After 18 (!) months, I finally set myself a technique close to the correct one. So what is easier: to immediately start throwing correctly and have a stable accuracy, or to have a wrong throw, so that later you can retrain for a long and tedious time or shoot unstable? The answer is obvious.

However, the only correct and universal basketball shooting techniques does not exist, due to the different physical constitution of the players. Therefore, each of us throws in our individual style. However, there is a set of recommendations - basketball shooting technique - which we will analyze. Starting position at the time of the throw:

• for a right-hander, the right foot is half a foot ahead of the left (for a left-hander, the opposite is true);
• legs slightly bent at the knees;
• the body is slightly turned (due to the placement of the legs);
• the right hand holds the ball, the left holds it (the opposite is true for the left-hander);

This is the starting position. More or less clearly, this can be seen in the following figure (torn from a Soviet book on basketball).

Let's move on to throwing . Throwing a basketball begins with the knees: a slight squat, and then like a spring of the legs push us up (this springy movement should flow into a jump). In parallel with this, the hands carry the ball up and prepare to part with the round. Look at the cutest creature in the first picture in the article. The ball is brought up and ready for the last stage of the throw. Now we carefully analyze the position of the ball and hands at this stage. The ball is completely controlled by one hand, the other only holds. The ball lies on the pads of the fingers so that a finger can pass between it and the palm. The elbow is strictly perpendicular to the ground under the ball. The arm is bent at the elbow at an angle of 90 degrees. The forearm is directed strictly to the ring. From this position, the upward movement of the throwing hand begins, and the second hand releases the ball. At the end, the relaxed hand makes a gentle forward movement, while the index and middle fingers direct the ball onto the ring. The last ball comes off the pads of the fingers. Remember the springy movement of the legs from the knees? So, parting with the ball should occur at the top of the jump. Stretch your own spine as you throw and lift your shoulders up as if you were shrugging them. Of course, in the text it is difficult to explain all the nuances of the correct throw in basketball. However, carefully understand all the details to begin with, and at the end you will see a workout with Steve Nash on the video, which will allow you to consolidate the material and become a real sniper.

Keep the following points in mind while throwing. Try to give the ball a reverse rotation with the brush - this will increase the chances of hitting. So, we know how to throw technically correctly, but the game fails to perform a quality throw? the fact is that the new technique needs to be consolidated: the throw training should first be done slowly, bringing the correct actions to automaticity, and then work on the speed of the throw. It is very important! First, slowly hone all the actions with the body, and then only increase the speed! In addition, pay attention to the trajectory of the throw. Let's tear out another sheet from the great Soviet encyclopedia and see:

When flying along which trajectory is the ball more likely to hit the ring? Stop hammering the “nails” with the ball - throw it in a high trajectory. You are also less likely to get a block shot.

So the results. Having set the right throw in basketball, you need to constantly train it, and then you can learn more complex elements, such as a throw with a deflection or an abrupt stop after dribbling. But this is a topic for another article. In the meantime, to solidify the material, we offer a 20-minute workout for the correct throw on video with Steve Nash, which is rightfully considered one of the best training materials for shooting practice in basketball today. If you have difficulty with English, this is not a problem. It is enough to repeat the exercises for Nash.

How to learn how to throw a basketball correctly?

As in any other ball game, in basketball you need to initially set the correct and accurate throw. This is the basis of this game. There are a few points to consider in order to make accurate hits time after time. Here's what you should pay attention to if you want to constantly make

3 point hits.

You will need

Basketball ball, net, gym, coach.

Instruction

Pay attention to the position of your hands. You need to learn how to throw with one hand so that the second is to hold the ball. Point your middle and index fingers back (away from the ring) and make sure your elbow is pointing straight at the ring. This position will be difficult if you have had broken hands. Also, your triceps should be parallel to the floor.

Look at how your legs are positioned. You need to put your right foot slightly forward if you are going to throw with your right hand. Make sure your foot is pointing towards the ring. Bend your knees a little. All this is done for a good jump. So you will be much more comfortable.

Make a throw. At the same time, first jump a little and before hanging - throw the ball. The elbow must be straightened. Make a sharp movement with your brushes - then the ball will fly higher and stronger. Be careful where you throw the ball. At the end of the throw, the brush should be directed upwards. This determines the final position of the ball.

Practice constantly. The right throw comes with experience. Everything is very simple here - the more you do the previous 3 points, the faster you will learn. If you don't do that, forget the championship shots. Some basketball players make hundreds of thousands of shots in their careers, miss a lot of times, but only in this way they gain invaluable experience. You need to do the same!

Find yourself a mentor. Without a great coach, it is very difficult to quickly learn how to accurately hit the basket. Even knowing the instructions, it is not always possible to technically correctly make accurate throws. Because you are not a robot and you are also mistaken. A mentor is needed to correct your position of arms, legs, back, head during practice throws. You will be very lucky if you come across such a sensitive coach who will monitor your every throw.

Believe in victory. If you make purely mechanical throws, without faith in yourself and in victory, then such training will be in vain! It is very important to move closer to constant progress and success with every thought. This is the only way you can quickly learn to throw and hit not only in training, but also at the most crucial moments during the match.

Shot in basketball logical conclusion of any attack.

The team must make as many well-aimed throws as possible in order to beat the opponent.

The whole game is based on taking possession of the ring of the other team with the help of various tricks and combinations that are practiced in training.

Exercises to Improve Basketball Shot Technique

To complete the most successful elements they need to be constantly improved.

Every basketball player must not only good news ball, but make passes, as well as accurately hit the opponent's ring.

The ability to accurately send the ball to the basket depends on many factors, including the time that was allocated for training, during which the necessary skills were developed.

Recommended to give rotation to the ball around a horizontal axis, opposite from the flight side, that is, to set the reverse rotation. A projectile that is thrown with reverse rotation moves more steadily along the trajectory set by the player.

As a rule, allocate three stages of sending the ball to the basket: preparatory, main and final. Variations are possible only in the first stage, and the rest must be clearly brought to perfection.

How to throw a basketball at close range

The player must designate a landmark that will serve as a square, located above the ring - this is where you need to aim to send the projectile. In this square, a point is selected that will become a reference point.

And with a clear, smooth hit at this point, the player can easily throw the ball into the basket. The side also plays a role. with which the athlete is attacking.

How to train clean throws

A throw is called clean if, when it hits the basket, the ball does not touch the edges, which is a great skill for athletes. During the execution, the player must be extremely focused, full control of the flight path. Throwing is performed smoothly with the help of reverse rotation. Reverse rotation is achieved through brush movements.

In the practice of clean hits count shield bounces, but any contact with the ring does not count. Training results can be achieved with three successful attempts out of five. But if we talk about the complication of the process, it is recommended to perform at least ten throws and strive for 100% success.

How to shoot long and medium distances

To hone your mid to long range hits, you need to focus on practicing clean and consistent shots.

The athlete must set a stable trajectory, as well as pay attention to muscle tension and precision of the applied efforts. Complicate training should be along with increasing distance.

Player after every hit must pick up the ball to return to the starting point. Jerks behind the projectile will also help to make the training more effective.

Attention! Even after throwing, it is important to keep the hands in the position from which the ball was released. This technique, which significantly affects the final result, is called visualization.

Lessons to improve the technique of performing the main types of throws

In accordance with the role of the player, they work out and improve certain types of throws.

The basics of hitting the ring are generally simple. The right hand uses the right hand and the left hand uses the left triceps must be kept at an angle, parallel to the floor.

The leg corresponding to the playing hand is put forward and slightly bent. The correct setting in basketball determines the success of the projectile.

Two hands down

Used when you need to punch free kick or at the end of the attack with a kick from under the basket.

It is performed as follows: the legs are placed shoulder-width apart, the socks are directed towards the ring, one leg is slightly advanced forward, and the second is on the line. It is important to ensure that the weight of the body is distributed evenly on the feet, the heels slightly touch the floor, and knees were slightly bent.

You need to focus on the goal, directing your eyes there, keep your head straight and straighten your shoulders. As for the elbows, they need to be relaxed and only slightly bent.

The ball is held only by fingers, below the waist and close to the body, without allowing the palm to touch.

When performing a throw, you must bring your hands to chest level and straighten your knees, and then return to the starting position and start moving ball up until the arm is fully extended. For a successful throw, the brush creates a reverse movement. In addition, you should straighten your back, and turn your hands towards the basket.

You will also be interested in:

One hand down

A throw with one hand from below is not performed while standing in one place. As a rule, the player performs it when turns body, or located under the basket. And the advantage is that you need to extend your arm to the side where the ring is.

The athlete holds one hand under the ball and lowers the other, then straightens the throw, keeping his eyes on the ring. The arm must be slightly bent at the elbow, and make soft brush stroke. If the shot is executed correctly, it will have minimal direct, and good lateral rotation until it hits the ring.

Training of execution with two hands from the chest

The most accurate from a long distance, but infrequently used throw in modern basketball. Usually the team chooses a quick attack, and it is difficult to carry out throwing when performing it. with both hands from the chest.

Photo 1. The correct technique for performing a basketball throw with two hands from the chest is shown.

Need to choose leg position for maximum comfort for the player. An important aspect is that the athlete should feel mobile and relaxed. It is recommended to bend the body in the lower back, slightly forward, distributing the weight on the toes so that the heels only slightly touch the floor, bend the legs at the knees, and straighten the back.

The ball should be held below the chin, at a distance thirty centimeters from the body. Next, you need to choose a point of sight and focus on it, straightening your head. Keep your elbows close to your body.

When the athlete sends the projectile, he simultaneously extends his legs and arms, giving the ball a soft spin. Throughout the movement, it is important that there is target fixation.

Two hands above your head

Such an element is best performed by a player who is in corner of the site.

The throw allows the defender to get out of his zone and get close to the attacker.

The position is convenient for performing a feint with an approach to the basket, as well as to pass the ball center player.

The projectile must be held above the forehead, but otherwise the standard throwing technique is repeated.

With one hand from the spot

The athlete can choose any position for the legs, but the most popular option is the one in which the player puts one of the lower limbs under the throwing arm moving forward a little. The athlete also chooses the level of throwing the ball at his discretion: from the shoulder or from the chest, but it depends on where the attacker will be relative to the defender.

The attacker can be closer to the opponent if he lifts the ball higher. The choice of flight path affects the range, if the player throws the projectile too high, then the ball cannot overcome long distance.

To execute a strike, you need to put one hand on the back, lower ball surface, point your palm towards the basket and comfortably spread your fingers.

Second but my hand should touch the ball a little, controlling it from above, during the throw it slowly goes to the side, and the throw is performed with only one limb.

With one hand from a place after movement

This technique is effective after dribbling or after receiving a serve. As a rule, the throw is best performed at a long distance. The attacker is coming in two counts. First: the foot that corresponds to the throwing arm must be on the floor. And the movement starts with the ball up to shoulder level.

Second account: the same leg swings with the throwing arm and the ball flies into the basket, while the opposite leg is placed on the floor. The throw is accompanied by a look and a straightened arm.

There is an option, at which the athlete goes in one account. To do this, the basketball player must be in the stance of the same leg.

If the defender blocks the hit, then this technique helps to successfully get out of the situation. The main thing is suddenness. The player catches the ball, the leg of the same name with the throwing hand remains on the floor, and the second one rises high to slow down the speed and the athlete sends the ball into the basket.

In a jump

Such an element recognized as the most effective in basketball. The defense cannot block it if it is done quickly and accurately. The defender needs to calculate his actions with great speed in order to counter, and this is very difficult to do.

The execution technique is similar to that used by the player when Throw on the spot with one hand. Therefore, to begin with, movement is mastered on the spot, and then they move on to jumps, for which exceptionally close and medium distances are selected.

The player pushes off after a dribble or any deployed position. In motion, it breaks off the floor with a foot that is different from the throwing one. two feet: if the throw is made from the spot. The position of the lower extremities in the air remains entirely at the discretion of the athlete. The jump can be deflected back or forward, and also be extended vertically upwards.

Photo 2. This clearly shows the technique of throwing a basketball in a jump.

However, some general scheme is provided for this element.

During the squat, you need to take out the ball, squeezing the projectile in both hands. If the athlete decides to perform this jump, then he must perform it in two counts. Versions in two counts described in the technique of throwing with one hand from a place after movement.

Second account- start with a leg that will be opposite to the throwing arm. If the athlete is standing still, then he must squat on both legs while distributing the weight evenly. The elbows must be pushed forward, and the hands should be positioned so that the hand that throws is behind, and the one that holds is in front, after which the player must aim and start leg extensions, picking up the ball with both hands and get into throwing position.

As you approach the highest point of impact, the athlete redirects the lateral elbow away from the ring. Forearms and hands will cover the target, and therefore increased concentration is required from the player. Finally, at the highest point, the player performs a quick and gentle movement with the hand, fully extending the side arm. This is a very spectacular movement, which creates the illusion of hovering in the air.

Learn to throw a hook

This throw is best suited for close and medium distances.

Movement is carried out by a push of the foot, opposite to the throwing hand. It is performed from any position, whether it is dribbling or receiving a transmission. If the athlete is right-handed, then he should turn to the left and raise the knee of his right leg, turning his head and body towards the intended target.

The push occurs with the left foot, which completes arcuate movement of the hand, towards the ring. A quality throw depends on the movement of the brush and an accurate sight.

From two steps

This element is performed by sitting on a line that is diagonal to the basketball hoop. The player must dribble and then make run in two steps.

When the maximum acceleration is reached, the right leg goes into a long step, and the ball is firmly fixed in the hands.

Then with a step step change of position with the left foot. The same leg makes a push, and the right one rises in the swing, the projectile is fixed in the right hand, the body straightens and the player sends the ball into the ring.

How to improve free throw shooting

There are cases where free throws determine the outcome of the match, so you need to pay special attention to them.

The repetition of execution and the stability of the position ensures the effectiveness of the element. The ball needs to be fixed fingers on the chest line. The position of the legs is left to the discretion of the player or one leg moves forward a little, or they are parallel to each other.

The arms remain bent at the elbows, slightly pressed to the body. The head should be directed towards the ring, and the back should be kept straight.

Then firmly press the ball to the chest, by increasing the squat angle, and then move it along the body, pointing upwards, and aiming at the ring, throw a projectile. At the end, straighten your torso and arm, continuing to follow the ball.

Conclusion: to play well, you need constant training

You need to practice throws to such an extent that they are performed at the level reflexes Share with your friends!

Basketball is one of the most dynamic team sports. Strength, agility, speed of movement, and quick reaction are important here, and, no less important, the ability to play in a team. In addition, competent execution of throws is especially important in basketball. At the same time, you need to know how to perform them correctly. Let's try to figure out how to throw the ball, at what angle and with what speed in order to hit the basket when shooting from the foul line.

First, let's give some reference data: a standard basketball (size 7) has a diameter D M = 24 c m and a mass m = 600 g. Such balls are used in the games of men's teams. The height of the basket ring above the floor level is H = 3.05 m, while the diameter of the ring is D K = 45 c m. The distance from the center of the ring to the penalty line is L = 4.225 m.

When calculating, we will consider a basketball as a material point, while neglecting the influence of air on the flight of the ball. We choose the coordinate system yOx to describe the movement: the Ox axis is directed horizontally, the Oy axis is directed vertically, the origin of the coordinate system O coincides with the center of the ball at the beginning of the throw. Since the ball moves with free fall acceleration g directed vertically downwards, then using the kinematic equations of motion we obtain:

where v 0 x is the horizontal projection of the initial velocity of the ball, v 0 y is the vertical projection of the initial velocity of the ball, g is the free fall acceleration. After mathematical transformations, we obtain the ball trajectory equation:

,

where α is the angle between the direction of the initial velocity v 0 and the positive direction of the axis 0x .

Differentiating the last equation with respect to x, we get:

Since at x \u003d L y '(x) \u003d -tgβ, then the tangent of the angle α is equal to:

where β is the angle at which the ball flies into the basket. From the size of the ball and the basket it follows that the minimum angle β is approximately equal to 32 0 . Then the minimum angle α is approximately equal to 48 0 .

After transformations of the equations, we obtain a formula for determining the initial speed of the ball:

Substituting the values ​​of physical quantities, we obtain that with a minimum value of α = 48 0 (β = 32 0) the initial speed of the ball should be 7.3 m/s, and with α = 56 0 (β = 45 0) the initial speed of the ball should be 9.3 m/s.

According to the proposed method, we offer you:

Calculate the minimum angle and initial speed for a basketball used in women's team games (size 6) D M = 23 c m.

Make similar calculations for the case when the ball first hits the backboard and then hits the basket, assuming that the impact of the ball on the backboard is absolutely elastic, and the distance from the center of the basket to the backboard is l = 0.345 m.
