week 8 homework: how to do a spin move in basketball

HOW TO DO A SPIN MOVE IN BASKETBALL


I found the instructional video about 'how to do a spin move in basketball' on the Youtube. It gives quite detail information and easy to understand. You'll see both the motion example of the player and the caption with stop motion. The best part is that the speaker uses EASY ENGLISH so that you won't have problem in listening comprehension. The only reservation is that the player looks somewhat feeble. It may demotivate you. All the same, it's helpful.


I took some notes to arrange the steps in order.
(* It is basically for the right-handed people.)

1. dribble lowly but powerfully before meeting the defender

2. lower your left shoulder into the defender to make a fake direction while protecting the ball

3. plant with left foot and shift your body weight

4. push off your right toe to rotate your body

5. spin tight and quick (don't swing out your right leg too wide)

6. keep the ball close to your body

7. pass to your open teammate, or drive to the hoop and take a shot
