sports dictionary Basketball - ALLEY UP

Basketball ALLEY UP parachute, pass reception and throw in one jump. This is a very effective technique that is loved by viewers who come to watch a basketball game. One of the players passes to the other, launching the ball high in the air. When the ball starts to go down, the second player jumps up, catches it and throws it into the basket. It does all this in one jump. If the shield is very close and the pass is addressed accurately, then the attacker literally sticks the ball into the basket, often hanging on to it after an alley-oop. The reception can be performed in another way, without a parachute. The pass may not be as high. Alley-oop is the simultaneous reception of a pass and a throw made in one jump. It looks very impressive, so most players do this during high gears. If the player is very close to the shield, a low pass is enough for him to make such a beautiful reception.
