1. Basic Ball Holding Techniques
Holding the ball in a basketball game is the most basic thing because it is the mother of all the techniques in this game. You can’t do this carelessly, because if you hold the ball well, it will be easier for you to control the ball. Of course, this affects the quality of your game.
2. Passing (Passing or Throwing the Ball)
After mastering the technique of holding the ball, we need to master the technique of passing the ball to a friend. Because we can’t carry the ball without making any passes at all in the game. This technique has several methods.
a. Chest Pass
This pass is a basic technique for passing because it is very commonly used. Try to watch a player make a pass with his elbows bent so that the ball is parallel to his chest and both hands are holding the ball. That’s what it means chest pass.
b. Overhead Pass
If you are surrounded by your opponent and are closely guarded or your teammates are far away, you can use this pass. This pass is often used to escape from your opponent’s guard, while your friend is in an area that is minimally guarded and is far away.
c. Behind The Back Pass (Back Pass)
As the game of modern basketball develops, this technique has become a technique that is deadly, dangerous, and of course, inspires admiration. This pass makes the ball very difficult for the opponent to guess. One player who is skilled at making this pass is Kobe Bryant.
d. Baseball Pass
This pass is done with one hand, similar to a baseball player who throws the ball. When counterattacking, this pass is very appropriate to choose.
The reason is, that this pass is often carried out from one’s defense area towards the opponent’s defense with accuracy and powerful power quickly. Not only that, this pass is sometimes used to trick opponents. As if shooting the ball, but only passing the ball.
e. Bounce Pass
This pass is done by bouncing the ball on the floor. This pass is made to get past tight opponents and difficult-to-reach teammates.
3. Dribble
Dribbling or dribbling in a basketball game is done to control the direction of the ball while bouncing the basketball on the floor repeatedly. If the footsteps, whether walking or running, the ball must bounce to the floor.
Based on the type of trick, dribble In basketball there are many more divisions, namely:
a. Crossover Move
She was di-dribble in a crossed way. The ball originally in the left hand is reflected to the right so that it can be well received by the right hand and vice versa. This type can dribble in the opponent’s area and they will break ankles like the ball is hit-crossover-can against the opposite direction, then dribble.
b. Behind the Back Dribble
This dribble is the same as a dribble crossover move. You just do it a little differently, backing up to the ball.
c. Between the Legs Dribble
Moving the ball from the right hand to the left hand with passing between the two feet but dribbling the ball.
d. High or Speed Dribble
If you do a quick counterattack or instead a fast break you can’t dribble. Players have to run as fast as possible, keeping the ball at all costs.
e. Reserve Dribble
Have you ever seen a person who plays basketball?- dribbling the ball horizontally through the body? That’s the Reserve dribble.
4. Pivot Technique
The technique involves a rotation of the body about the leg being used as a pivot, while the body is supported on it. Pivot is a technical innovation that adapts the rules of basketball, namely the player holding the ball is required to dribble and it will be considered an offense if you move without doing so.
5. Shooting
The ability to score depends on skill in shooting the ball into the opponent’s ring. The better the ability to shoot, the greater the possibility of getting high points.
Technique shooting there are several ways:
a. Set Shoot
This shot is usually done when the player is in a condition of free throw or freely shooting without having to jump. This shot can only be done in conditions without obstacles or control and is rarely used.
b. Lay Up Shoot
This shot is also called shoot float. The shot was fired at the end dribble and so close to the ring. Players throw the ball with one hand towards the target. The throw is done while jumping as if floating.
c. Jump Shoot
Players do not move forward or backward. Then, jump at the highest point to throw the ball. Principles in doing jump shoots there are four, namely bow, eye, elbow, and follow through.
d. Slam Dunk
Shooting a ball by flying and jumping into the air and not throwing the ball or bouncing the ball is a slam dunk.
5. Rebound
The second technique exploits the fact a ball might miss the basketball ring and reflects it to be exploited. The rebound is of use if the shot is missed byx your team—the chaos in front of the ring is to your advantage. Yet if it is the opposite team’s shot playing errant, a rebound can be used to keep the ball from going into the defense zone.
