How come I have trouble scoring in a basketball game?

I'm 10th grade and currently in the JV basketball team. I'm very quick and can shoot the ball well, jumpers and 3 pointers. When we have scrimmages in practice, my shooting percentage is about 50 - 60%. But when it comes to games, I have trouble scoring and I don't know why. Our team has played 3 games and I'm 0 - 6 shooting. Any suggestions?How come I have trouble scoring in a basketball game?
Well that happened to me when i was in 10th grade(i am presently in 12th grade). it is probably just nervousness because i get nervous too when it comes to games. Just Focus on the Basket ignore everything else. Keep your eyes on the hoop and when your in the air( about to shoot) try thinking about you are alone and nothing else is there just you and the basketball court. It helps, all of those distractions, people yelling, cheering, and chanting bothers you. I just only shoot jumpers when i am open and know I have a high percent chance of making it. Or maybe in practice time you can try making shots from 5 different parts of the court 3 inside and 2 outside. Then you can master those areas and you will know the right amount of power to put in the shot and viola, use my method of imaging you and the basketball court only and you'll be sinking those shots.
Try to get involved early in the game, you know take early shots in the game. If you need a little motivation to get you going try faking shots and driving it in into the basket. Another you can do is stay focused defensly, a steal or a block can easily motivate you to start playing offense better.How come I have trouble scoring in a basketball game?
I definitely had that same problem back in 7th grade. The only reason it happened to me is because I didn't play so good under pressure. I tried tuning it out, but that only works for some people, not me, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try it. You can also try scrimmaging under pressure, that might work.
the good thing about your situation is that it is only jv. everyone i know says playing jv is way more fun than playing actual high school games since its way more laid back. my advice is just to go out there and play like its a pick up game, like you have nothing to lose and you should feel a lot more comfortable.How come I have trouble scoring in a basketball game?
do u get nervous before games??? if u do it could be that you have more confidence in your scrimmages b/c you know you can score off them... but as for playing games against other teams... maybe your nerves and lack of confidence ruin your shot.... hope this helps! sry if it doesnt...
be focused on the rim and the basket and DONT be afraid to make the shot
get ASSISTS! haha I don't shoot much either i only score like 4 a game
