The Development of Jump Shot in Basketball

Abstract

A basketball shooting shot is the act of forcefully passing the basketball with one or both hands to cause the ball to move properly into the basket correctly. There are many characteristics of shooting in basketball. There are 3 basic characteristics of basketball shooting, namely, standing shot (Set Shot), jump shot (Jump Shot) and shooting under the backboard (Lay-up Shot). Jump shot is a shooting style that is often found during matches because it difficult to protect. There are elements that affect the accuracy of a basketball jump shot: four key shooting mechanics: balance, sight, follow-through, and elbow in alignment. The optimal shooting angle and the most likely to land in the basket is approximately 60 degrees, both the left and right sides of the basket aimed using the edge of the ring. The basket on the opposite side is the target and the distance to shoot the most effective goals is close distance. The accuracy of the basketball jump shot can be assessed by using the Basketball Jump Shooting Accuracy Test (BJSAT).
