How to Do Turnaround Jump Shot in Basketball Game
In general, doing a turnaround jump shot in this basketball sport is almost the same as shooting movements in general. Where you hold the basketball with both hands, which is followed by releasing the ball towards the basket.
But especially for this turnaround jump shoot, you do it with a spin move. Then it ends with the movement of 2 jumping legs, which leads in the opposite direction from the previous spin move position. In this case, it leads to the basket (ring).
The spin move itself is defined as a movement made with your back to the opponent to prevent the ball from being taken by the opponent. However, before you make a spin move, of course, you must also be able to predict the distance between your position in making a turnaround jump shot, and the distance of the basketball hoop later.
In other words, not all players can do this technique. However, it is recommended that all basketball players can do, even master the turnaround jump shoot technique in this basketball game.
Movements in Basketball Games that Often Use Turnaround Jump Shot Techniques
Turnaround shoot meet is usually done to create points in a state of urgency. In a sense, players will usually do a turnaround jump shot, in a position blocked by the opponent. So there is no other way but to shoot with this turnaround jump shot.
There are several other moves in the game of basketball that often use this turnaround jump shoot technique. Among them:
1. Fadeaway Jump Shoot Movement
The fadeaway jump shoot is a part of the turnaround jump shot. Where in the fadeaway jump shot, players will shoot by jumping/jumping backward, away from the basketball hoop.
The goal is none other than to be able to provide space between the player and other defenders. Of course, so that the shooting that is done cannot be blocked/blocked by opposing players. Some of the players who did the turnaround and also the fadeaway jump shoot included Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Kevin Durant.

Another movement in basketball that often uses turnaround jump shoots is when players perform slashing moves. Slashing moves are defined as the movement of making a slash on the ball that is directed into the basketball hoop/basket.
Some slashers or even a cutter (cutting the opponent’s movement) will use this technique to execute the given opportunity. Where the turnaround jump shoot movement will be done when the player is in the midrange. Because that way, players will be able to shoot easily. Compared to penetrating, which could end up committing several fouls.

However, these post moves often have to be faced by opposing defenders. Therefore, before making the post moves which end with the turnaround jump shot, the player is required to master the technique of the game in making variation movements, which cannot be read by the opponent.
In other words, turnaround jump shots must be mastered by every player. At least by players who are in forward and big man positions. But actually, the turnaround jump shoot technique in this basketball game should also be mastered by the slasher. Especially the slasher with the small forward position.
