 1. Review:

  These exercises are  still "under construction"

 1. Try to complete the transcript for this video explaning you how to improve your shoot:

 

Basketball Shooting Practice Tips -- powered by eHow.com

 

"One of the ways to reinforce good form 1 _________ is to start directly under the 2 ________. Well, not directly under the basket, because then you're going to be shooting through the rim. Just a little bit behind the basket. A lot of people what they do is they come out on the 3 ________ and they start jacking up 3s. In order to truly prepare to shoot good shots, you're going to want to start 4 ________ and then work your way back. I want to get right by the basket directly in front. As always, you want to have your feet 5 ____________  ___________  __________, elbow tucked in, full extension of the arm, good follow through by bending your hand. What I like about this drill is if I'm shooting too hard, I'm going to know it because it's going to clang off the back of the rim. If I'm shooting too lightly, it's going to hit the front of the rim. If you have really, really good form, it's going to drop directly through the net and it's barely going to touch the sides. A lot of people don't know this, but there's a lot of room for air when you shoot a basketball. If you try, you can put 2 basketballs through there at the same time. Most people don't know that because who shoots 2 basketballs at the same time. There's a lot of room to give, so make sure that you keep that good form and it'll go directly through the net. After you get really comfortable up front, you're going to take one big 6 __________ back and do the same thing. A little off there. Take another step back. I was a little _________ there. When I'm short, I know that I'm not 8__________ my legs enough. That's where your power should come from. Not from your arms, but it should come from your lower body. The farther you get back, the more you're going to have to push with your legs. A little short. There we go. That's how you reinforce good form shooting." 7
