It is also important to find the right time to make a layup. It is simple to practice three-step layup, but basketball is a competitive sport after all, and it often needs a team of three or five people to play the game. The competition on the field is fierce. If you want to make an easy three-step layup, you must find the right time. When the opponent's defense is lax, we should look at the empty space, start quickly and score in the basket like lightning. If the opponent's defense is very strict, don't rush in, because it is easy to hit the opponent when running under the basket, and the referee is likely to sentence you to hit someone with the ball. Of course, there is also the possibility that the other side will stop the foul. In short, try to seize the opportunity before layup, avoid unnecessary troubles and improve the success rate. Practicing more skills such as passing in disguise and breaking through is very helpful to realize the three-step layup.
Pay attention to the correct posture in the three-step layup. Before layup, you should lower your center of gravity, dribble less than your waist, keep your body stable and keep your upper body straight. When running, lean forward as far as possible, slap the basketball with your palms down, and don't flip your wrists. When taking off in the third step, the wrist naturally throws the ball out and tries to be as soft as possible, so that the basketball has room for maneuver. This way, the shooting percentage is higher.
Watch the basket. The last and most crucial step of the three-step layup is to score. At this point, we should look at the position of the basket, focusing on the small square area above the basket. This square area is an ideal landing point for basketball. If you throw the ball into the penalty area, the chances of scoring are very high. Especially in the upper right corner and the upper left corner of this square area, the basketball is basically accurate, and the probability of rebounding into the basket is 100% (provided that the force is uniform).
Grasp the strength of shooting. Many beginners often miss the last shot, or use too much force, the ball flies away after hitting the board, or the strength is insufficient, and after throwing the ball, they just wipe the net or even the air ball. The basis of three-step layup is to practice the basic skills of shooting, especially shooting under the basket. When pitching, use your hands evenly, gently and flexibly. The third step, when jumping up and shooting, as long as you flick it gently, the ball can naturally hit the board and enter the basket or hollow into the net. When someone is defending, don't be afraid and anxious, keep your mind steady, don't tremble, and easily throw the ball into the basket.
Matters needing attention
Three-step layup, the first two feet touch the ground, and the third step must be to jump in mid-air. One more step will be regarded as a violation of walking rules. When running the basket as shown below, you can only leave two footprints in the ground, and the third step has already jumped up and shot.
Look at someone standing in front of you and don't try to make a layup in the past three steps. Knocking down your opponent will sentence you to hit someone with the ball.
You can shoot with a hook when you make a layup, which is a good way to prevent being blocked.
