BASKETBALL – SCIENCE – SOME TECHNIQUES

 

 

What is dunking? 

It is a shot in which a player leaps high and coaxes the ball down into the basket. He may use one hand to do so or both. Some famous players used to leap and hold the ring while thrusting the ball into the basket with the other hand, all in split seconds!

 

 

What is give and go? 

First pass the ball to the nearby colleague and then cut in to collect the return pass from that colleague is called ‘give and go’ technique.

 

 

The forward A of Team X bounces the ball to his teammate B and cut in Player G to retrieve the pass from Forward B and shoot it into the basket. 

Rebounding: 

If one of your team members shoots, it is advisable to move to a position near the basket where, judging from the angle of the throw of your teammate, you can, with ease, retrieve the ball in the event of your teammate missing the basket. The other team members will also be moving into position to take control of the rebound. You should be ever alert and agile.
