[Rossy15]

please help!i can shoot any shot no problem when i am training before a game but when i am in a game for some wierd reason i turn shit.i know the people well and i aint nervous i dont know what it is PLEASE HELP

[Skipper]

When u train, have somebody stay in ya face while u shoot.
let them just stand in front of u w/ there hands up ( not tryin to block )and just shoot like u normaly would, i promise u will shoot short at first. then after doin that for a while, let the person try to block, and just keep practicing like that. ONE

when u practice always pretend someone is watching you..like some hot chicks..it sounds delusional but it really helps on the court... (and off :P )

No offense but then your not a good player. Hitting shots under pressure has nothing to do with practice its ur ability to step up and win the game.

[strydR_]

well really he needs to practice with people rather than just playing by himself.

man hitting shots under pressure does need practice. yeah stepping up is good but if you don't have the stuff to go with your guts then what's the use.

big tip: laugh. ya it looks crazy to the crowd, but it helps trust me. I was just in a game, where it came down to my 2 free throws to win the game. All you gotta do is smile, laugh, maybe sing a song in your head, do whatever you can to not think about your shot. When you start thinking about it, and slowing it down or doing more technique than your used to, you usually miss the shot. Just smile!

P.S. I made both the free throws to win the game, and that was our final game of the season. It just happened yesterday

lol if i make myself laugh in a game my arms go "light" or numb..i laughed when time wen I made a guy stumble..just my jabbing my head..i laughed so much when i went for the shot I missed the ring completely.

but yeh u r ryt there young tricker....for example when im about to shoot a 3..and i know im shooting a 3 in a game...I miss completely sometimes.

just relax when u shoot and focus before the game

[Hang_TiMe]

thinking too much is bad hehe

When hot chicks are watching, I'm like a god on the court. Unstoppable. Damn, I know it's nuts, but... I have your problem too, man. Just get someone to bother you when you're practicing your shooting.
