The BEST HOOPERS In The World Train w/ Chris Johnson aka The Master Trainer | LA Hoops Training Ep 3

Basketball is very different from anywhere else in the country. The

hoops

are on fire. You have to learn to play. You can't show up to a game. He hopes they learn to play. When you have to act. I don't mind. Whether they are good, bad or ugly, it doesn't matter, you have to practice and develop your confidence. I think when you are young you should play more and you should focus on learning how to play basketball. You can change pace or change. cadence with your handle, it doesn't always have to be very fast, it can be fast, slow, fast, slow, fast, slow, as we open up and start moving forward you will be able to change the pace of speed more, something common I see in most secondary schools. the players who do poorly the dribbling is over, i think less is more, it makes you efficient and you can actually take more shots, so i want to work with corey and our cadence, this is our first cadence, we are going to hit one, two, one, cross, one front and It should be there right hit one two one two one cross hit one two one two one two cross down one two one two one two cross so we want to be able to mirror that partner so they're together one two push push push push push push push one two last one one two one two one two two one two that's it, good job, everyone get up, come on.

I have some tips for you to work on your free hand. One of those tips is to just spend, you know, a day or two. of a week concentrating on your left hand, whether it's one-handed dribbling, one-handed dribbling, ending up doing short floaters, even shooting left-handed free throws, when you're developing your left hand, what you're developing is coordination , uh, you're learning what you can and can't do with it, which makes you have a very effective left hand. Now I'm attacking here, a two euro step, right, once you get to the elbow, come on, boom, change, come on, come on, change elbow, good boom.

The game has really evolved and changed in the last five years. There is less post-up play. Meaning that players play with their backs to the basket even at the high school level all the way up to the NBA. I've seen shots become number one. piece of basketball, do it again, good push downhill, switch up, good job, good job, let's go with it, let's go with it, attack tag, two pushes, well, go up, keep going up, well, well, yeah You have the ability to shoot, you will probably make it. a team and you will probably have the opportunity to be on the court, so those are the two elements that have really changed the game, no post game and your ability to throw the ball from anywhere on the court at any time you want. to be interactive and learn, everyone knows what the vowel root is, let's check that first, if you don't know, we will tell you, okay, the vowel root is here in the basketball, if you didn't know what the bow root is , it's right. here is the center of the basketball, it helps you with ball placement if you have never leaned before shooting, it's all about how the ball leaves your fingers, it's not how you start, everyone's body is different , so there is no perfect mechanics and don't let anyone fool you with that, but the way the ball comes out of your finger there is a technique for that balance balance in two ready here we go ball placement you know your ball plays come on so it's time for you to get up next guy follow your shot good ball placement leave I see you're keeping up with good ball placement good boy one thing I wish I knew as a high school player is that you have to focus really in learning the tactical game.

You start watching movies, you see great shooters when the ball comes, they always fix the ball if I'm picking it up, boom, the ball is always fixed in the hand and if they shoot, you can say man, I can have the ball in my hand okay, okay, up, good step, go ahead, go with him, go there, don't worry about doing. mistakes you are good keep going keep going step step step it may be your first time doing this keep going keep going don't stop we will unwrap it it may be your first time it will take just a little bit and then you will learn how to do it.

You know, one of the things we talk about is always learning how to foul. The reason fouling is very important for young players if you want to increase your contempt. Keep in mind that it's not about how many shots you take, it's about getting to the free throw line. The free throw line is the only place on the court in the game that cannot be marked, so learning how to foul becomes very important for your game and for the game of basketball let's char seven six five oh three and a good move follow you the is totally different from a high school point of view they play with a shot clock uh like 90 of the country they don't play with a shotgun so when you look at the guards, they always play with rhythm, they always play faster , they never accelerated because they spend most of their lives playing with a shot clock. when you look at New York, you know, you look at, you know, street ball. to a certain extent, but when you think of LA, you think of shooters, guys with a great skill set and it's unique and I think now it probably has the most players that play professional basketball in the entire country, so in the clinic of today our focus was power to give kids the opportunity to learn ball handling footwork shooting mechanics ball placement being able to put their hands on the ball correctly some details that they can take and continue to build with them you have to fall in love with the game and I'm Not only am I saying this to you, I'm saying this to the guys that make 30 million a year, as a brother, we have a hoop to know what we can do and then their

train

ing is driven behind what they can do or what they can do.

Don't do it, that's how you

train

. Well, good job today.
