Answer 1

You can take 2 steps to the basket whereever you are on the court, as long as you stop right after that and don't dribble again.

Answer 2

ill keep it nice a short



you can take two and a half steps without dribbling. when you stop dribbling it counts as the half step



for layups the key point is: OUTSIDE foot INSIDE foot eg. for a right side layup you will take one step with your right foot and jump on your left foot.



for dribbling better: To dribble, push the ball down by spreading the fingers and flexing the wrist. You don't need to push it down hard. Light pressure is enough + PRACTICE



hope that helps

Answer 3

You can take two steps. If you aren't physically superior than others, then I suggest you play smart. Practice your jumpshots because this should be your main weapon rather than the ability to do lay ups.



Usually when there are new players in the team I help coach, I see so many problems;

1. Players miss lay ups. Aim for the highest side of the box, when you are doing a lay up.

2. Players have no ability to shoot. They need to fix their form.

3. Players with the ability to shoot, don't use it. They need to be smart.

4. Players aren't looking for those openings that can lead to easy shots. They need to think.

5. Players don't use the catch and shoot ability, which is one of the most easiest ways [If not the easiest] to score.

6. Players stay at the 3 pt line, but once they get the ball they don't shoot. They need to learn how to move without the ball and learn how to shoot.

7. When defending, players don't jump as high as they can. Again, they aren't thinking.

8. Players allow their man to get closer to the rim and post. I advise you to watch Scottie Pippen defend so that you know how to stop your man from posting.

9. Players think that driving in is the best thing to do, but it isn't.

10. Players hog the ball and lack chemistry. They need to keep the ball moving, and coaches love players with team chemistry. Rip Hamilton and Carmelo Anthony are 2 of some of the players with amazing chemistry.

Answer 4

One way you can dribble the ball well is to do it often. In your driveway or something just walk up and down (slowly at first) dribbling the ball without looking. Gradually you move faster and begin doing more things with the ball. Do this often and you will see results.

Answer 5

You can take two step when you are driving to the hoop. To get better at dribbling you need to practice, practice, practice.



Good Luck
