1. Mental Toughness as Shooter

* List of Basketball Shooting Drills
6. Move Without the Ball

Spacing
Creates a passing lane for the passer by sliding up or down on penetration and post feeds
7. Basketball Conditioning
Transition

8. Exploits the Scouting Report Defense

One of the words that can be closely associated with a great shooter is efficiency. There are many shooters out there that average a lot of points, but they are also averaging a lot of shots. These players are”volume shooters,” and they are rarely associated with winning basketball teams. Great shooters can take and make shots at a high percentage, which helps their team win games. They recognize that this is their “role” on the team, and they do their best to help the team win.
As you can see from this list, a great shooter is comprised of many different things. Some good shooters check off some of these points, but only great shooters have really mastered all of these different areas. If you desire to be a great shooter, look through this list and figure out which areas you are strong at and which areas you are weak at.
After this, it is up to you to spend time working on these different areas. Don’t avoid your weaknesses when you go to the gym to do your basketball training. You want to maximize your strengths as a shooter, but you also want to limit your weaknesses. The only way to do that is by spending time working on your weaknesses.
If there is one thing that you take away from this basketball article, take this. GREAT SHOOTERS ARE MADE IN THE GYM. Some shooters are more naturally gifted, but there has never been a great shooter in the history of the game that hasn’t put countless hours into their shot.

violations in the basketball, let's get it out basic.
A run is the movement of a player with the ball in his hands without dribbling. For this, the referee appoints a throw-in by the opposing team.
Three second rule - A player of the attacking team cannot stay in the allocated area under the hoop for more than three seconds. For such a violation, the ball is transferred to the opponent.
Foul is a touch on the opponent that limits his freedom of movement. In some cases, a free throw is awarded for a foul - this is decided by the referee. A throw from the penalty line is performed by a member of the opposing team, for a professional this is an almost guaranteed hit.
You can also get a foul without contact - technical. It is given for unsportsmanlike behavior, disrespect for the referee or other participants in the game. Two technical fouls are followed by disqualification.
Basketball matches are served by teams of referees. Usually 2-3 referees on the site and a secretary judge. Their task is to monitor compliance with the rules, keep track of time and impose a fine in case of violations.
Entering data into the protocol, resolving controversial game moments and keeping the game score - these duties are also performed by the referees.
During the match, the referees communicate with each other with gestures that help to quickly indicate the situation in the game.
To shoot 3-pointers in every game, you need quality equipment that will make you feel comfortable on the court. Look for clothes, shoes and accessories for basketball in a special section on the Sportmaster website.

Mutual challenge
On Sunday, February 24, CSKA hosts Spartak-Primorye from Vladivostok as part of the Russian PBL Championship. The match starts at 17:00.

PBL official website
PBL score: 3-0

Season 2012/2013. Regular season
3.10.2012 Spartak-Primorye - CSKA - 51:82
Success in three home matches gave hope to the hearts of red-blue fans. The last two weeks have shown that the work done by the coaching staff after the disastrous “Spanish-Lithuanian period” for CSKA is guiding the team on the right path. At the same time, if in the matches with UNICS and "Tsmoki Minsk" the hosts were unconditional favorites, then the match with "Panathinaikos" assumed a completely equal fight. However, the army team did not give a single chance to the Greek guests - 86:69. The more painful was the fresh three-point loss to the Turkish "Anadolu Efes" at the "hot" "Abdi Ipekchi Arena".
Spartak-Primorye won only three out of nine matches in the PBL Russian Championship. The last match, which, by the way, took place almost three weeks ago, ended in a grandiose defeat from Krasnye Krylia - 83:52. In general, the Spartacists often slip in the attack, and also concede an unacceptable lot - 77.8 points per game on average.
Pay attention
The main Far East shooter is named Troy Gillenvote (17.2 points), he is also the main rebounder (7.9 on average per game). The second place among Primorye's top-scoring players is occupied by Paul Delaney (scores 13.6 points into the enemy ring, distributes 3.4 assists each). It is gratifying that the Russian ex-soldier Artem Zabelin closes the top three, after several unsuccessful seasons he found his game in the team of Gundars Vetra: 12.9 points, 4.7 rebounds.
Compared to the first meeting of the two teams in October, the opponents' roster has undergone certain changes. So, in the application of the army team "shooter" Dionte Christmas was replaced by point guard Theodoros Papaloukas. Despite his solid age by basketball standards (35 years) and not the best physical condition, the leadership qualities and fighting character of the legendary Greek are very necessary for the current CSKA.
Primorye's defender Michael Efevberkh, who averaged 12.8 points per game, is now played by Chamberlain Oguchi, with whom Spartak signed a three-month contract. An American of Nigerian origin scored 6 points in his debut match against Krasnye Krylia. Also, another back-line player, Artem Isakov, left the location of the Red-Whites, who did not fulfill the mission assigned to him to become Delaney's replacement.
It is impossible to replace Viktor Khryapa, but every cloud has a silver lining: having temporarily lost its key figure, CSKA has acquired a new leader in the person of Sasha Kaun. And about. the captain was recognized as the MVP of the 7th round of the TOP-16 of the Euroleague. In the most important battle for CSKA against Panathinaikos, he scored 13 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks. The return of front line players Zoran Erceg and Andrei Vorontsevich gives hope that the army team will begin to dominate on the boards.
Intrigue
Of course, the Vladivostok "gladiators" are unlikely to equalize the chances, but it is quite possible to take advantage of the vulnerabilities of one of the leaders of the Russian championship. That is, to correctly build a zone defense, over and over again stopping the attack of the red-blues, to take advantage of the tight army schedule, which leaves almost no time for preparation (the hardest match against Efes ended late on Friday evening), to punish for chronic undertuning for matches with obviously a weak opponent (in the final quarter of the match with the "tsmoks", the army team "marked" an anti-record, scoring four (!) points and realizing only one field goal).
Casualties
The infirmary at Spartak-Primorye is empty. The hosts will be missing Viktor Khryapa, who is healing his injured hip.
Coaches' comments
Ettore Messina, head coach of PBC CSKA:
We need to get back on the winning path, have a good match. Unfortunately, Victor Khryapa will not help us again. Sasha Kaun also did not train due to back problems, but hopefully he will be able to return to action. At the same time, we need to get input from all the players to show solid basketball. Spartak-Primorye is a good team that has already surprised several opponents. It is impossible to approach a meeting with her relaxed.
Gundars Vetra, head coach of BC Spartak-Primorye:
We know the opponent well, and CSKA itself needs no special introduction. The level of the army team's performers is a good challenge for our players and a great opportunity to show whether we are capable of playing with such an opponent. I'm not puzzled by what is happening in CSKA, we should be more concerned about what is happening here. Every team has some internal problems. I think it would be wrong to analyze and talk about what is happening in CSKA without knowing the situation. Again, this team consists of very cool and skillful players. They solve their problems, and our task is to play with them as worthy as possible. At the same time, look at our next games, including with Nizhny Novgorod, through the prism of this match.
