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.
layup
A layup.
When you are doing a layup, you go toward the basket. I'm sorry don't know what you mean.
There are lots of ways to do a layup but one word of advice that you should always aim for the box on top of the basket. If aim for the box 9 times out of 10 the ball will go right in to the basket.
if when you drive you go for a layup then 2
intentional foul
Yes, but he must maintain his pivot foot.
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.
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.
you just do a layup man
If you are shooting anywhere on the court from 3 pointers to layups to foul shots always aim for the box on top of the basket.
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.
