The armpit, the inside of the elbow, the back of the right hand and the junction of the forearm should all be at right angles or close to right angles.

When running, lean forward as much as possible, slap the basketball with your palms down, and don't turn your wrists. When you jump up in the third step, your wrist naturally pulls the ball out, trying to be as gentle as possible to give the basketball room to maneuver. This way the shooting percentage is higher. Many beginners often fail in the last step of shooting, or they use too much force and the ball hits the board and flies away, or they lack strength and just touch the net after throwing the ball or even miss it. The basis of the three-step layup is to practice the basic shooting skills, especially shooting under the basket. When pitching, the hand strength should be used evenly, preferably softly, and the wrist should be flexible.

When shooting, the ball should be moved with the palm of the hand to allow the basketball to rotate in the air. This will have a higher hit rate. After throwing the ball, the right arm should be straightened.
