A layup is when you are very close to the basket when you shoot the ball. I would say a player would be 3 feet or less from the basket when they shot a layup.
When you are doing a layup, you go toward the basket. I'm sorry don't know what you mean.
if when you drive you go for a layup then 2
intentional foul
To perform a layup, start by dribbling towards the basket with your dominant hand. As you approach, take your last step with your non-dominant foot and jump off that foot. Extend your arm with the basketball towards the basket and lay it in off the backboard using your fingertips.
is a two-point shot attempt made by leaping from below, laying the ball up near the basket, and using one hand to bounce it off the backboard and into the basket. The motion and one-handed reach distinguish it from a jump shot. The layup is considered the most basic shot in basketball. When doing a layup, the player lifts the outside foot, or the foot away from the basket.
He drove to the basket for a layup a few games ago, and Serge Ibaka stuck his hand out, trying to stop him. His wrist hit him in the nose. Lebron still made a dunk/layup thing though.
A layup.
The first player to score a basket in the NBA was a man named Ossie Schectman. He scored on a fast break layup. Schectman died in 2013.
a layup is a shot made right beside the basket. It is usually a running shot that is quickly released and banked off the backboard. It is used because it is a high percentage shot and it is an easy way to score when running toward the goal without having to slow down and shoot.
Well the most accurate spot for people can be everywhere its just depending on what their playing style is. But usually the closer you are to the basket the more accurate you are going to be. Take the layup as an example,that is usually the most highest percentage shot in the game,meaning most people that take a layup usually make it.
It doesn't matter as laong as you stay on the court. :)
If you are talking about playing basketball, it generally would be a good idea to know how to 'do' a layup. In basketball, the layup is one of the most important shots in the game because most points are scored that way.
