What is passing and catching in basketball?

The passing and receiving technique is a method of purposefully passing the ball between Seiko players in a basketball game.

It connects all the players of various technologies together like a thread, making it the most used technology in the game.

The quality of passing and receiving directly affects the quality of tactics.

In order to create strong scoring opportunities for teammates during the game, the players must organize various tactical coordination among themselves. But no matter how cleverly designed these coordinations are, in the end if the ball is not passed and received in time, all the efforts will be in vain. Today's basketball players are generally tall, have strong mobility and a wide range of control. With teams generally attaching great importance to defense, especially the strengthening of offensive defense, this has caused great difficulties for passing and receiving. Ball technology develops to a higher level. Looking at high-level basketball games at home and abroad, many athletes, especially some stars, not only play an important role in the game, but are also highly enjoyable to watch.

1. Passing: The method of passing the ball depends on the actual situation. Although the methods are different, there are a few things that are consistent: All passes are done with your fingers, not your palms. In order to control the speed and direction of the ball, the fingers should be as open as possible (but not too stiff) and the wrist should be flexible. There are the following main passing methods in basketball: Chest pass: Passing from the chest is fast and effective, and is the most commonly used passing method. Preparatory position for holding the ball with both hands: Facing the teammate who wants to pass the ball, raise your head, bend your knees, spread your fingers, hold the ball in front of your chest, elbows slightly outward, and take a step forward when extending your arms to push the ball outward. When releasing the ball, push your fingers upward and forward. (Two Hands) Bump Pass: The Bump Pass is typically used to get the ball under the outstretched arms of a defensive teammate. The technical essentials of passing the ball with both hands on the ground are the same as the pass from the chest mentioned above, except that when the ball is passed, the fingers are downward and strong, so that the ball bounces off the floor and reaches the waist of the receiving teammate. Underhand pass: An underhand pass is a short-range pass, usually used to pass the ball to a teammate who is closer to you: Hold the lower half of the ball with your fingers, and when you extend your arms to release the ball, move toward the passer. Take a step in the direction of the ball, fix your wrist when following the ball, and pass the ball to the waist of the receiving teammate. (Hands) Overhead Pass: We often see players who grab rebounds in basketball games pass the ball to teammates in a favorable position in the far frontcourt in this way. A pass with both hands over the head can go over defenders and go very far. Hold the ball from both sides of the ball with both hands (fingertips facing up), place it on top of your head, bend your elbows slightly, take a step toward the passing direction and turn your wrists back, move the ball behind your head, and throw the ball forward. The wrist forwards the force downward.

(You must also do a good job of following the ball)

2. Catching the ball: Catching the ball with both hands: watching the ball with both eyes, fingers naturally separated, two thumbs facing each other in a figure eight shape, and both hands forming a semicircle (spherical shape). Before the ball comes, actively extend your arms to meet the ball, and relax your shoulders, arms, wrists and fingers. When catching the ball, your fingertips touch the ball first. At the same time, your arms follow the ball back to cushion the force of the ball, and be ready to connect to the next action. Actions Key points: Take the initiative to reach out and lead after touching the ball.
