Detailed explanation of Kobe Bryant's shooting posture
2. The body center of gravity is on the left foot.
3. Feet are slightly shoulder-width, behind left foot and in front of right foot. The right foot is slightly buckled, and the outside of the toe points to the hoop.
4. Including the chest, the knee is slightly bent and the right knee is slightly bent.
5. Head towards the hoop
We talked about the location, and then we were ready to shoot. As for the racket ball and breathing before the free throw, let's not talk about it, just talk about the shooting action. Because Mr. Hua Dao said that when shooting, the right hand and the left hand should be placed on the top left of the ball, so before shooting, our left hand feels like holding the ball, while the left hand keeps a hard hand (the soft hand can't hold the ball at all) and the left hand opens in an arc shape. Why bend? Because the left hand is in front of the ball, not in front. If we want to hold the ball completely on the side of the ball and hold the ball firmly in our hands without shaking, the palm of our left hand will.
The position of holding the ball with the left hand is around the waist, and then the right hand is placed on the ball with a hard hand posture. One of the problems to be discussed here is the pointing of the fingers of the right hand. Teacher Hua Dao once said that in order to keep the right forearm vertical when shooting, before shooting, that is, when holding the ball, you can turn your right elbow slightly outward, which is more conducive to exerting strength.
So if your right hand points at the hoop at this time, your right hand and right forearm must be twisted, so your strength must be twisted when you shoot. Everyone can try to see if I am right. So the finger pointing of the right hand is the same as that of the right foot. They don't point directly at the basket, but point sideways at the basket. The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to keep the right forearm comfortable and straight when shooting. Insert a picture to see:
After talking about the left hand and the right hand, let's talk about other places that need attention. The first is to relax, especially the shoulders. The right shoulder will be lower than the left shoulder because the right elbow is turned out, and the ball will be placed on the right side of your midline. These two questions have been discussed by teacher Ikebukuro, so I won't say much here. But these two points are very important.
After the preparation is completed, the next step is to aim. Many students ask a question, where is your lens? This release point means where your ball is before you release it. There are different opinions on this issue, and each has its own habits. Personally, I am used to shooting when my right index finger touches my forehead above my right eyebrow. Notice the forehead above the right eyebrow. At this time, my right arm is just parallel to the ground and at right angles to my body. That is, we usually ask for three 90 degrees. If the right elbow is raised too high, it is not conducive to the strength and stability of shooting. I don't think I can compete with Kobe Jordan on this issue, because there is a gap in arm span. Their right forearm must be longer than ours, so the elbows are raised to the same position, our right fingers touch their foreheads, and their whole right palm may be above their heads. In short, the change of the height of this hand point is still related to the height of your right arm elbow.
Finally, the lens. It should be noted that we lift the ball to our shooting point on our knees, then start shooting while kicking, and finally stand up completely and throw the ball out of our right hand. This process is continuous and smooth. I won't say much about the transmission of strength when shooting, and everyone who knows something about basketball knows it. When shooting, the forefinger and middle finger pick the ball.
