MICHAEL MOUANGXONG SHOT ANALYSIS

Angle - The ball is brought straight up in this shot. My arm isn’t really following my shot, I like my focus in my shot, the focus would help in real game situations. If you look closely, you can see my off hand just before the release. Having your off hand on while releasing will cause the ball to shift in another direction. Also my fingers are pointing straight down, except for my pinky finger. I find it helps me when it’s out.

Angle #2 - In my second shot, I noticed that my off hand did not go away from the ball which means that I’m not shooting properly. And my shooting arm does not go up straight it goes a little tilted, I think this is because I use more of my arms than legs so I rely more on the strength of my arms than my wrist.

ANGLE #3 - As I grab the ball to rise for my shot, My feet consistently land with my right foot in front of the other. The ball is always kept in front of my body and when I release the ball, my right elbow seems to be pushing the ball, rather than my legs. I need to improve my pre-shot steps, instead of just grabbing the ball, I should be set with my legs bent and my wrists cocked to get the most efficient release possible. Again, I need to finish my elbow above my eyes for better overall ark on my shot and follow through with my shot, my shot is pretty broken.

Things that need to be improved:

- Following through with my shot

- using more of my legs instead of my arms

- making sure my arm isn’t tilted during the shot

- legs more bent shot looking more stable.

TOM'S SHOOTING ANALYSIS

Angle 1: Straight On - Camera under Basket

FROM THIS FOOTAGE, I BROUGHT THE BALL FROM MY LEFT SIDE TO MY RIGHT SIDE IN A CIRCLE MOTION, MY KNEES THEN BEND INWARDS SO I M ABLE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH ARC, THAT MY SHOT GOES IN. AFTERWARDS I RAISE MY BODY FROM MY TOES TO PROVIDE ENOUGH POWER FOR MY SHOT. AFTER THE BALL IS BROUGHT TO MY FOREHEAD I THEN TAKE MY GUIDE HAND AND PLACE IT OFF TO THE SIDE, SO ITS JUST MY GUIDE HAND, THEN BALL IS REALSED.

PROBLEMS - WRIST IS CURLED IN, GUIDE HAND IS AT A 10 O'CLOCK ANGLE, WRIST FLICK IS NOT SMOOTH

Angle 2: Rear View - Video Shot Behind The Shooter

FROM THIS FOOTAGE, THE BALL IS STILL BROUGHT FROM THE LEFT SIDE TO THE BALL SIDE, THEN I BEND DOWN AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE, AS I BRING THE BALL UP WARDS TO THE MIDDLE OF MY FOREHEAD I NOTICE MY ELBOW TEND TO SHIFT TO MY RIGHT SIDE, LASTLY AFTER THE BALL REACHES MY FOREHEAD I THEN RELEASE THE BALL.

PROBLEMS- AFTER BALL IS RELEASED GUIDE HAND THUMB TEND TO CURL IN AFTER SHOT IS FIRED, SHOT IS FIRED FOLLOW THROUGH HAND IS CURLED IN, ELBOW IS NOT STRAIGHT.

Angle 3: Side View - Camera On Shooting Hand

FROM THIS FOOTAGE, BALL IS FLICKED FORWARD AND PLAYER IS TO GRAB THE BALL AND SHOOT RIGHT AWAY, IN THIS FOOTAGE YOU WILL SEE ME SHOOT AT

MY RIGHT SIDE. RIGHT AWAY I CATCH THE BALL, I GET IN MY SHOOING STANCE AND I REALESE TE BALL.

PROBLEM- ARMS ARE NOT EXTENDED TO FULL REACH, WRIST IS CURLED IN

CONCLUSION 

OVERALL I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT MY SHOT NEEDS TO DEVELOPE IS A SMOOTHER 1 MOTION SHOT AND I NEED TO DEVELOPE A BETTER WRIST FLEX, THE BALL SHOULD BE COMING OF THE MIDDLE FINGER BUT INSTEAD IT COMES OF THE RING FINGER.
