Basketball moves derived from the lay-up
Finger Roll: The most widely used lay-up method in basketball nowadays
Three Pointers: The threes seem to be a blessing when it comes to outscoring the opposition, but...
Reverse lay-up: two defenders jumps at you on the near side, go to the other side
Tear Drop: Oh yeah, make the hoop cry and make your defenders cry

The Layup
Tips on perfecting a basketball lay-up
Doing a basketball lay-up slowly with no defenders is very easy but not so when you are guarded. Here are the tips for scoring in a lay-up under pressure :
1.Take BIG strides when you are carrying the ball for a lay up
2.Glance at the hoop while you are carrying the ball towards the basketball hoop
3.If you are driving full speed, convert the horizontal momentum to vertical by jumping higher before release
4.Sometimes, changing your pace when taking the steps or power-hopping works well
5.Place the upper arm of your non-dominant hand on the side to resist defender's pressure
6.When you are about to get up in the air, turn your hip and upper back towards the defender to push yourself away
7.Add a slight spin onto the ball to further reduce the horizontal force it carries

More Shooting
More Shooting Tips
1. Half-bent your knees before shooting a basketball for more potential power
2. Your dominant hand should have its fingers spread out
3. Only the fingertips should be gripping onto the ball
4. Your other hand should support the ball on the side
5. The ball should be brought above the head in one motion
6. At this point, the angles at your armpit, elbow, and wrist is at 90 degrees
7. While extending your knees, extend your forearm and snap your wrist
8. Make sure you follow through with your wrist movement. If it feels natural to jump upon release, do so
" You will always miss 100% of the shots you do not take. "
