The Experimental Research On Fade-away Shot In Basketball

Owing to the accompanying action of hypsokinesis, the fade-away shot makes defensive more difficult, thus creating higher efficiency and being adopted by more and more players in basketball games. Having made an extensive survey of relevant literatures, the author finds that there have been few articles on the techniques or training methods of fade-away shop. This thesis aims to draw a conclusion on training methods of fade-away shop by means of experiments.Through watching video materials related to NBA, CBA, and big matches of basketball as well as fade-away shop performed by Michael Jordan and Kobe, the author summarizes the techniques of fade-away shop which has received a general consent of specialists. Also, the influencing factors and evaluating standard are made out by consulting over ten specialists, professors and coaches in Shaanxi province in the form of questionnaire.This research is based on an approach of experiments, taken the stature data as group-dividing foundation. 20 players of basketball team of Xi'an international university are randomly divided into two groups: experimental group and comparative one. Training time is about 2 months from 12th October to 4th December 2009, 100 minutes each time, three times per week. Before the experiment, the norm of influencing factors and the techniques of fade-away shop in one minute are tested. During the experiment, the experimental group is trained through influencing factors;comparative group is trained through normal amateur way. After 2 months, they are tested again in the same way, and the result will be dealt with and analysed in statistics. The experimental result demonstrates that through a target-oriented training course, the physical quality level of experimental group members rises, especially after a specialized training on fade-away shop, their abilities of it also soars. At the same time, after the experimental group is made an assessing comparison of the techniques of fade-away shop with comparative one, it follows that the technique level of experimental group has been improved greatly.Base on the training prctice, we can make a conclusion as the following:Firstly, the method of fade-away shop: take right-hand shop as an example, the player keeps basketball in front of chest with two hand, bend a little with right leg ahead and left one behind so as to keep gravity between two legs. Then, jump up backward quickly, bent knee of right leg and fade away the upper part of the body, at the same time, hold the basketball above the forehead. While the body is reaching the highest point, release the left hand, incline the wrist with more strength and shoot the ball with forefinger and middle of right hand. When falling down onto the ground, the player should bend his knees as a buffer.Secondly, compared the action of fade-away shot with that of jump shop, the most different is the direction of takeoff: former is jumping back upper,and latter upper. By contrast, the former has greater changes in power delivering and fixing than the latter. It has a higher requirement to many general physical qualities such as the height of jump, the strength of muscles in the part of waist, abdomen and back, the balance and coordination of body etc. moreover, it also requires an additional strength of fingers, wrist and arms as the distance extends because of fade-away. Through target-oriented training on takeoff back upper ability, it goes a long way toward causing the body to form the necessary power delivering and fixing of fade-away shot. At the same time, the player's physical qualities, including strength of fingers, wrist, arms and the strength of muscles in the part of waist, abdomen and back, the balance and coordination of body etc., have be improved greatly which is helpful to increase technical level of fade-away shot.Thirdly, the technique of fade-away shop is the evolution of jump shop, directly associating with technical level of jump shot. In terms of action transport theory, reinforcing technical training of fade-away shot is helpful to to increase technical level of fade-away shot. Through a target-oriented state anxiety training of players and relieving the mental pressure of testing, it contributes to the level of shooting a basket.The following recommendations:Firstly, standing on the point of games, no single technical action can be adopted solely in the games. Only by combining many single techniques, can the players bring every of them into play. Through analyzing video materials of CBA, NBA and other world basketball tournaments, it can be seen that the following combined actions are adopted extensively: catch-halt-fade-away shot, catch-backward step-halt-fade-away shot, catch-halt-turn back-fade-away shot, turn back-catch-halt-fade-away shot, shield-move-turn-catch-halt-fade-away shot etc. it is suggested to integrate fade-away shot into combined actions in order to elaborate the technical characteristics of fade-away shot.Secondly, as this experiment is to train and test the level of fade-away shot, the common level of endurance is ignored for it is not the influencing factor of fade-away shot. However, standing on the respect of competition, it is advised to strength training of common endurance to improve the ability of players to utilize fade-away shot in the acute environment of competition.
