Zone is actually a real thing, it's called "Flow" and was coined by a Croatian Psychologist called Csikszentmihalyi. It's actually applicable to any activity, video games, sports, writing a test etc. It happens when you lock in and everything seems to fit into place for you almost too perfectly.
Yuusha-MOBA-GAMING Ultra Instinct is self movement. It allows the body to self move with itself without the require focus. You must not think whilst moving.
I’ve been playing basketball for about 10 years and I’ve only experienced something similar to the Zone once. We were playing against our rivals and it was a game I really wanted to win, and that drive led me to play the best game I have ever played. Some of my friends on the team, who also watch KnB, were pointing it out to me after the game. Even the opponents coach said he had never seen me play so good. So, I’d say it’s real and it effects everyone in a different way.
Nice i remember entering it a handful of times. It's an amazing feeling is it not? My senior year I bet my coach I could get my first double double ever and I put up 25 points and 10 assists. I won an an InNout double double cheese burger lol
It's all about the confidence. U take ur first shot, it sinks.. U take a second shot, it sinks... Suddenly, u feel unstoppable.. U stop second guessing.. U stop hesitating... Suddenly, u pass better, u shoot over anyone... Suddenly, u see gaps, such wide gaps in the D, and it's as though u are alone in training.. Going for a simple layup. That's what it FEELS. WHAT actually happening, is that u are moving extraordinarily swiftly, the zone, is like bullet time.. And it only ends when u take notice of it. U don't summon it, and when it comes, u can't control it.. U just do, and let it flow through u. I'm not a pro player yet, but as I unlocked my potential, I felt it more and more.
Jj The 13th FINALLY, SOMETHING TRUE. ONCE YOU NOTICE YOURE ON A ROLL, ONCE YOU NOTICE YOURE WITH THE FLOW/ IN THE ZONE, YOU LOSE TRACK. NICE POINTING THAT ONE OUT 👌🏿💯
Jj The 13th Also, i feel like if i get into such a state, i'll recognize it instantly and the problem is just that... Im greedy for playing well, and thats the problem. If i notice im sinking everything in, and that im dribbling through everyone, i loose focus and concentrate on staying in that state, rather than actually winning the game, which is the point factor that fucks me over
Dave Elevera. Cheers man. I know it coz I've felt it... I had a name for it.. I used to call it "The Power" when I was younger. I'd suddenly get this rush of adrenaline and determination.. an extra burst of energy where I felt none just a while ago. It was like the avatar state in Avatar the last airbender or the transforming through pain thing in Attack On Titan.. When u try to invoke it, it makes extra effort to NOT show up. But the more I felt it, the more I experimented with it, and I think I found a way to sustain it... though it's still in the works, and it's bloody hard to maintain ...
I started playing basketball again last year and I was sticking defence against someone extremely better than me and suddenly I got really focused. I couldn't think of anything other than basketball and not letting him pass me.
Fun fact, the zone, flow state, etc, is also present in arts like music, (when someones improvise they usually are in the zone) It also inspired the "ultra instinct"
@@sirmel11 not reallly, its based in the concept of mushin, and a japanese friend i have told me the concept is the same but with a religious "zen buddhist" flavor or something like that... just like they talked about getting into mushin when they do things like caligraphy and tea ceremony... its the same thing
I played basketball long before I started watching anime, but I can relate to zone in a way. It’s simple. When you’re hitting everything, and nothing will stop you. I had it happen to me once. I was hitting every three, layup, blocking shots. I finished the game with 33 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks.
"I'm in the zone right now" is a term used quite a lot in sports and while playing games. So Zone here is used in the same way as Ultra Instinct in DBS, it's not a "form" like super Saiyan or a power, it's a state of mind. Compared to Zone, Ultra Instinct is basically the next level. In UI you go even beyond focus and trying, your body basically moves on it's own, offence and defence happen autonomously and most importantly your adrenaline also kicks-in which makes you not feel any pain or fatigue and everything you do is completely perfect.
"hot hands" is when a shooter is comfortable with their shooting form in their entire body. Even great shooters usually start a game little off in their feet being planted right or their follow through, but when you see a few go in you start putting a little extra spring in your jump and considering the angles before you even shoot it, itching for another chance to test whether you're as hot as you feel. This leads to "heat checks", where players take excusably bad shots just to see how sharpened their shooting instincts are to their proper form. there's a reason shooters with more consistent forms tend to get hot easier, they're closer to that hot spot by default. Basketball watchers treat "hot hand" like the defining factor is hitting one shot after another, but that's not it, it's about consistency and a hot spot mentally. The zone is different and can extend from shooting to dribbling to defending to post ups, everything, something that only extremely experienced players get to revolved around willpower and emotion. Flow state is yet another thing where mentally a person doing an activity reaches an extremely productive feedback loop and loses themselves in an affirming pattern of action.
I definitely think the zone is real and I believe I have felt it before. A couple weeks ago I was playing in a volleyball tournament and the setter gave me the most perfect set he could and I could just feel that I was going to get the point. I was completely focused and it was an entirely different sensation then when I normally get when I hit.
yes bro completely same i am a setter in volleyball, and our team in national grandfinals, we all have been in a complete state of 100% focus holy fuck jus thinking about it gives me goosebumps, i really cant call it zone like in anime since its fictional lmao, but our team chemistry was beyond godlike in that match, just think my every set for my spiker was DEADON PERFECT and even my spiker admitted it lmao
Ya, I was in a position like that yesterday because my team was facing the best team in our league and we all wanted to win so bad. We didn't end up winning but we all tried really hard and only lost by two points.
Bish Wilt I feel it like a mental state of oncEntration, a special one.... like when you're in a rush studying before exams. I Actually feel it when I draw my comics :) everything around me dissapears, nothing but the paper exists, and everything goes allright, smoothly, perfect, but, unfortuntety for me it lasts not much time 😂😂😂 maybe I am Kise jajaja
You're playing but you don't realize you're playing. I've always felt this when im playing basketball I just never knew what to call it up until I heard of it in koroko.
Being in the zone can be applied to almost anything, and I feel like what it actually is can vary situationally. Sometimes it’s just down to adrenaline, sometimes it’s a matter of extreme focus or willpower, and yes, sometimes I think it can come down to luck. As a massive gamer the best example I can provide is when you’re playing an extremely hard game or level (for some reason things like rhythm games and shmups are perfect for this) and all of a sudden after hours of harsh losses the world around you fades and you just start crushing it. I have heard stories as well as personally experienced situations where your eyes will literally go partially out of focus and it’ll seem like you’re perceiving everything on the screen at once. It doesn’t really seem to make sense but it’s definitely a real thing.
Same happend to me to not only video game but some sport too, it really feels you dont think anymore but feel something else take over your body like it have his own will
That Klay Thompson's zone is what we can think if Midorima finally goes into the zone. I hope Kuroko No Basket gets another seasons for us to see Midorima go into the zone.
yeah i used to play basketball before and i was the weakest of my friends forcing me to quit but when they needed me to play and if they lose they will be slaves of the bully I played my hardest and reached zone being in zone is like your blacked out then your not aware of what are you doing where are you going after that you won't remember what did you do it's almost over last two minutes score is 25 35 we are losing then I got mad at my self saying i can't defend them I just need to win this and in real life zone can be used with everything because zone can be entered with determination,adrenaline and pressure you don't need to be a prodigy
Zone is definitely real when you at your last drop of energy the heat in your body from sweat of fate hues gives off last resort clutch state of mind on some self movement type of vibe and only thing people haven’t able to achieve is creating a aura of color like most anime characters can do in certain shows and aura is 3 dimensional
I am not a great player myself but i can indeed confirm "The Zone" is 100% real. I was practicing three pointers for years. I was always bad at them and could never find a shooting form. One day i had a chance to finally play and show my friends i improved. I missed most of my first shots. Until eventually in the second game i got a nice release, felt good, and the shot sank. I got a confidence boost from there but i still wasnt in the zone yet just playing normally. Next shot i got i hesitated less and focused on the hoop. Released and it sank again. I instantly felt good about my shot from then. I got another open shot in the opposite corner. Did not hesitate one bit, looked up, quick release and it sank. It felt great. I didnt realize anything special was going on in my head i was just doing what i practiced. I was open again, boom, another one. Got the ball on the left mid, cut in for an easy layup it felt like i was practicing alone. Caught the ball on a fast break on the left corner and let it fly, it felt great. And i remember watching the ball go through the hoop perfectly and hearing the swish. Everything was going my way. I just played, and let it come naturally and felt great.
well playing highschool basketball I can say it is true in a sense. I get these moments in a game where pretty much everything I wanted to do I was just able to do it, heck I wasn't even really a high jumper at the time either but at one point I ended up dunking on someone who was a foot taller than me and everyone looked at me like "where that came from?" I tried dunking w/o anybody guarding during practice and I can't even do it LOL. There's just those moments for me where everything was just so clear, I wouldn't say like everyone is on slo-mo but seems like I can already see what was about to happen. But it definitely don't last that long maybe a couple of minutes of a quarter when we're struggling. Most of the time I just keep shooting when I feel it and watch that ball go in. Edit: Details on that dunk, I saw a teamate shoot a three and I remember seeing it and I knew it was gonna miss and bounce right in front of the rim and I just jumped before it bounced over the center and basically did a put back dunk. I remember looking down and was like "damn, I jumped that high?"
Thats lit! I can't play sports very well due to my constant weird eyesight and when my reactions to things are like 50 percent slower when there are people watching.
@@arcbaraquio7866 You can enter the zone anytime it’s just being in a mind of state where the outside world won’t matter only with happens in your mind
Itami true, it only happens when you have strong will to win the game, and when you do not hesitate to throw the ball, i.e when you flow with the ball. It just keeps sinking in, just until you notice that youre doing it, wonder if the next shot will make it or not, unfortunately not making the shot, breaking the momentum...
I've experienced that stated before. I was training (Basketball) with my team and we were playing a little match. There was a steal and a guy wanted to take thy layup, and when he was about 4 metres away from the basket I just kind o snapped into the zone and ran from halfcourt to the basket and blocked his layup without even thinking. I was faster than ever, I jumped higher than ever, and I can't remember much of it, but it was an awesome feeling. Unfortunately, my body was too untrained and weak to sustain the zone for any longer and I had to go to the side because my legs were just really weak.
I entered the zone a few times back when I used to play Call of Duty multiplayer. During certain games, I would be annihilating everyone I ran into, I would react faster then usual and I wasn't worried about getting killed. I was really confident in my abilities and I would have the best K/D ratio for that game. But once I start thinking about how good I'm doing, my play slowly start getting worse and I pretty much lose the zone state. When I try to get back into that state and focus it never works, only once I stop trying so hard, there's a chance that I could enter it again.
All games had this zone thing. I got one when playing futsal the other day. Its zone or adrenaline rush. I didn't feel tired in the game, my mind is clearer, able to demonstrate good level of awareness (Didn't look at the ball at my feet even once, saw all my teammates around me, faster reaction.) But after that, burned out for 3 days.
I think i was in the Zone two times in my life. First time was with 15 in a football match with friends. I scored 10 goals in the match and we won like 10:5 or something like that. Second time was in a Company Football Cup with 19 or 20, i played with and against players from the 4th and 5th german football league and scored 4 goals. In both games my team was the obvious underdog. And after both games i was so exhausted that i had to lay down for like an hour before i could go change my clothes. I didnt even noticed realy much from the games, it was just play and score for me. After the second game one of the players from my team ( a guy from a german 4th league team ) asked me if i wanted to make a try out on his team. I never did the try out, i know that i am not even close to playing on that level.
I experienced something like the zone, one day while in a basketball tournament between a bunch of schools I just started scoring at least 15 points thanks to my teammates. Honestly the only thing I thought of at the moment was to make everyone proud and to surpass myself. That was a thing that I only experienced once unless you count every time I made a shot with very little help.
I recently had my first high school soccer game and I was up against a bunch of Juniors and Seniors from a rival school. Being a Freshman, most people would probably be intimidated, but I wasn’t. I didn’t see them as someone or something better, I just saw it as the thing stopping me from winning. When I truly felt in “The Zone” was during the second half. I was making amazing, spot-on, and maybe even impossible passes when I played. My foot skills were at an all time high and I was only stopped once by a defender in that game. If I were to watch it myself, I would’ve been amazed. But in the game, I felt nothing. I wasn’t feeling anything. No emotion. No pain. I only had a desire. WIN. All I thought of was winning. I never thought who to pass to, when to shoot on goal, or if I should attempt to dribble. I just did it. No thoughts. Only action. So, when people ask if there’s a zone-like state in anything, my personal thought is that there is something out there that makes you perform at your peak and it involves your mindset. Whether called “Zone” or “Flow”, this thoughtless state of mind in which performance is at an all time high is there and, though I’ve truly only been in “The Zone” once before, I have recently tapped into it and it is very real. So, again, I believe it’s true. Completely and entirely. If you don’t believe though, I want you to try one thing. If you play a sport such as basketball, football, soccer, etc. in which YOU can decide how the game will go, don’t think. Don’t feel. Desire. You need to desire something so bad that it’s the only thing you know when you play that sport. It works only if you focus on nothing but your desire. Saying is harder than doing for some, but if you believe you can do it and you find your will to do it, I can assure you that you too can reach “The Zone”.
To activate zone 1.focus for defense and offense 2.now do neutral offensive focus and neutral defensive focus 3.increase your speed and the last this is important 4.you must have the consistency in a game
Great video brother! I play basketball in college. Its definitely a real thing. All it takes is seeing one shot go in the basket and your body does the rest.
NBA eastern conference finals Heat vs Celtics 2012, LeBron's performance in a win or go home game will be one of the best example of a guy in the zone for the whole game
I remember when i was playing nba 2k14 in myCareer one time i break my most points records and when it comes to interview section my character talks about "i was in the zone backthen" so yep i think it is same "zone".
Everyone can enter the flow state when they’re doing something, but you have to feel a complete dedication to nothing else but what you’re doing at that moment, I’ve done it in sports and games and it almost feels like your mind is blanking out and thinking of nothing but the one thing you’re doing at the same time automatically.
Funny I experienced the zone about 3 months ago when my team was so tired and breathless and we were down by 4 my body just felt like It had awoken something at the end of that game I got 4 consecutive blocks and won the game with a buzzer beater
I remember some of my friend entered in the zone in the middle of a basketball game. He fell down than got up and started dominating the game alone for like 5 minutes.
I’m in a volleyball team and I remember I think I entered the zone on a match while I was serving. Dude I made 8 points serving and it felt like my body synchronized with my thoughts perfectly, I literally forgot about everything around me and served as hard as I could. It literally felt so good
Same only for me it was in ping pong. I was playing against my coach and almost beat him and time itself felt slower, especially since I could hit his shots. And sometimes when I play people who are good like my dad I enter the zone as well, probably because I found a formidable opponent, kind of like how Aomine can almost never find anyone who can rival him.
It's not really an ability, but more like a state of mind, where you just won't think about unnecessary things and just let instinct takeover and play god-like.
Being a basketball player myself, and having entered the zone multiple times, I can tell you that there are some requirements to enter the zone which are : - love for the game / close to dedicate your entire time to the sport,video game or whatever you love doing. - experience of the game and knowledge of your body and its capabilities. - obviously be good (you can't enter the zone if you are not good at what you are doing). - a really strong opponent (how are you supposed to enter the zone if your opponent is trash lol). - forget everything else but the game and be locked in (super mind set). - you have to be extremely competitive / hate losing obviously.
I've been in the zone so many times now. I work at UPS and the big thing for me is belt stops. What I do is I sort boxes I get from sort aisle and send them down the appropriate chutes for the loaders so they can load the trailer full of boxes. I'm like Aomine at this point. I'm the best in the building and nothing can stop me. I mock the doors open and throw myself in the zone. The music I listen to helps as well. It gives me a beat, a groove. I go till I can't go anymore. But once I'm out, my body shuts down. Which is why I wait till the last hour to do this. Cuz after that I'm dead as fuck.
The ZONE is known as adrenaline rush in scientific words It has happened to me once when I was playing cricket and my team needed 4 runs to win and we only had one ball left plus the opponents team fielder were the best and even the best batsmen in our team got out by those fielders and I kept saying in my mind that I have to score a 4 in this ball and the bowler's ball swing felt too easy for me (actually it was a difficult ball) and I hit it and scored a four
I’ve only ever been in the “zone” once (as far as I could remember) I was playing a game and I was doing okay throughout the game. But I really wanted to win so for some reason in the last 5 minutes of the game I couldn’t MISS A SHOT. Like Idk how to describe it. It was like no matter what shot I took or how contested it was it would always go in. We won but I felt like I was still getting better as the game went on but the game ended. So idk maybe I was almost entering the Zone but I’ve never felt anything like that again. But my school basketball season is about to start so I’ll come back and tell ya how it goes or if I enter the zone at all.
As a basketball player, I can attest to this. The zone exists.... It basically (IRL) entails giving all your focus to the moment, having absolute confidence, and a culmination of hard work and preparation. Facts.
I think The Zone is real it is the desire and love what you do. It can apply to all the things that you do. Kuroko's Basketball is my favorite im waiting if it have a season 3 i hope that it have.
It's called pressure, It happens to me often because I dont want to make mistakes in front of too many people, and I dont wanna be a laughstock. Thats why ppl need confidence
A lot of people in the comment section only describe glimpse of being in the zone. That is what it feels like. However, I want to explain my theory of being in the zone. What I had experienced, and what I did to get there. I want to start of by stating, not anyone can unlock being in the deepest part of the zone. What was described as being in the zone in kuroko is a different type of being deep in the zone. That zone, comes from sheer determination and willpower. I want to talk about the true zone. Back in 2016, I had taken a vacation to my home land. I just graduated, and was taking time off school. I didn't have anything to do, so I played basketball 4 hours when I got up in the morning, then another 2 to 5 hours in the afternoon. It varied everyday. I did this for 3-4 months. So everytime I played, I always practed my fundamentals and incorporated calisthenics. As time passed, I realized I was getting better, slowly but surely. My moves were basic, but I began realising it was getting easier for me to move around and doing what I like. So, after several months passed by, I came back to my homeland. I went to play pick up basketball at a park nearby my house. I played as regular and as I was driblling around, it suddenly happened. I began doing moves I didn't even practice, it was coming out automatically and my brain was so shocked. I continued to play and test my limits. I realised, I was limitless. Anything and everything I wanted to do, I did. There was no one stopping me, and if they did, they wouldnt be able to the next play. Even when I didn't want the ball. The guys were so amazed, that they kept goving me the ball. I myself was also amazed because I did not think I was capable of such thing. Thinking back, I didn't even realize I was in the zone at the the time. Now, I know that it is what a true "in the zone" feeling is. The balance between reality, determination, willpower and imagination molding into one piece. It's not about yourself being absorded by your play. It's about the balance of your consience and abilities. That is the true zone, and it comes from practice. So, everytime you hold a basketball... you're always in the zone. Your off days and other peoples great days. Some people will never unlock it, no matter how hard they try. I don't know why, but you could always give it a shot. That is my experience and what my in the zone feeling is like. If you want a simple story, back when I was in highschool, I came off the bench for a tourney, I had 4 fouls... my coach placed me in, I took a shot and started draining whenever and wherever I shot. From the half court to turnaround jumpers to shoot a 3 pointer. I did it. But I was eventually fouled out because I went to block a guy... it was a clean block but they called it a foul so w/e.
Basketball ball in real life surpasses anime! The action and the suspense of the playoffs when every thing comes to the last second - literally- Curry 3 pointers rivals modorima Kyre irving Handels and movments are better than aomini Chris paul passes are better than koroko or akashi to some extent LeBaron dunks and high vertical jumps are better than kagami Harden's movments and foot work better than kise Cousins, porzingis, AD, whiteside, drummond, deandre jordan are dominant like murasaki Not to mention kD, westbrook, giannis... Etc And those are just the current players So if u like basketball anime,,,,, ooh boy u should watch the NBA
I feel like the zone is an exaggeration of a player building momentum. After you’ve built that momentum,you’ve entered “the zone”. At this point you focus on winning the game and nothing bothers you. All you want is the ball in your hands to help your team win
this just makes me want to play high level basketball again and get into the zone again. there is nothing more fun it's like playing indeed in slow motion and you just get so hyped.
It's created by extremly developed concentration when you do something. I'm sure some of us have ever felt similar phenomenon such as zone but less perfect as zone
Took a college basketball class since I didn't played it competitively. At a certain point I wanted to be the best player in the class, and entered zone one game. I dunked the ball, made a steal, locked down the other team's best player, and scored half of the points (games ended after 15-20 points). It'd be a lot cooler if I could say I entered zone in a varsity game or divison 1 college game. But this moment still felt good.
I'm not that good in basketball but I felt The Zone 2 times in 2 different pickup games. I've notice the change because I easily get tired playing basketball. Basically it's like my body heats up and I don't get tired for few minutes.
It Can be said to be Real. During the 93 NBA finals against Phoenix, MJ said he'd entered the Zone. And l'd argued about one player in today's game who often enters in the Zone during the playoffs, Jimmy Butler
Wait.. When i Play Basketball i Lit Never Pay Attention To Anything Accept the Game... Does it Mean im Always in The Zone? Or Flow? I'am Interested.......Btw im So Focused i Let Someone Steal my Snack ;( I Also Dont Give a Dam About Someone Talking to Me.
The Zone in any form is a state where the mind becomes completely focused on whatever caused the "activation" of The Zone and in sports it allows you to subconsciously aim and make tweaks while going through the motions. Think of it like Ultra instinct in DBS. You naturally go through the motions while your brain is constantly making changes and enhancements.
The most impressive form of "The Zone" I've seen is in cricket, especially test cricket. Some players can stay in The Zone for hours or even days at a time.
Ive experienced the flow state a few times, and it just feels like a dream, the flow state is kind of when you zone out , and for me i see kind of blurry and i can’t see anything else out of the game, i cant hear anything but the game,and in in total focus. I jump higher, i dribble faster, i shoot faster,i move faster, i have insane accuracy.But it has one flaw, once you go out you have no energy and cant do anything anymore, the best thing to do is to not think so you can keep it for longer
Klay's 3rd quarter against the Kings was about as close to KnB's zone as we'll probably ever see (especially over an extended period of time). You know he's full on anime-mode when he gets fouled and just chucks up a 30 footer that won't even count and he still makes it clean lol
anyone who has ever played sports knows what being in the zone feels like. when you're just on fire, super focused, and everything you shoot you know it's just going in.
As a volleyball player that wanted to become the best libero in the club I experienced this in a match! We were losing very bad. It was our serve but the serve was unfortunately not in the right place so the ball came back fast to the left wing. Whilst that was happening I was in the middle back, before the match my coach told me to squat lower, so I can get the ball back up when someone spikes it. Remembering his words I did squat lower than normal, my mind went calm and I saw everything in slow motion. I saw him hitting the ball and I saw the trajectory of the ball, so I took a step and it bounced of my arms. The ball went straight to the setter, and we managed to get a point. Everyone was wildin! Me too actually I was the one that was soooo hyped up. One of my best memories when I was still playing volleyball. I think I'll get back to volleyball hahahaha I miss the moments and the adrenaline.
The Zone is real, it can be a really unique thing for everyone. I, for one when I was playing HS basketball, I felt being 'in the zone', but in spurts. You cannot really do it for a long period of time because your body will give up. I did not score back to back just like how they do in the anime, but I just run, defend and jump like I seldom do. Of course you cannot sprint, defend and jump at your highest level every time but when I was 'in the zone', I can. It may be in spurts or just a matter of possessions, but when I am in this state back then, I was just laser focused on the game. I was extra aware of my opponents and teammates. The feeling is one of a kind. I think it is not on the skill level of a player but on a mental state of focus. We have all seen benchwarmers in the NBA explode for 30 or 40 without warning and cannot do it the next game. It can also be said when a player scores or makes a highlight play, they play better. I have seen players who seem to lack energy until they score or make plays. So yeah, the zone is real and it is different for every one. The slumps is as real as the zone too by the way.
Well, just one thing, the zone is not just in sports, it can be in other things, like drawing, writing, and music, but it is easier to notice it in the sports
I have experienced the zone a few times once when playing basketball and once while playing splatoon I have found that it has gotten easier for me to enter the zone as the challenge has increased
I entered the zone in a pickup basketball game with my friends once it was surreal. I scored 17 out of our 20 points and I did not miss an entire shot the whole game. I was unstoppable, it didn't matter who was guarding me as I hit shots all over the court. Whenever the team was down they'd give me the ball, but when it was point up everybody wanted to be greedy and score the last bucket. I literally told them if you want to win give me the ball (I never said anything as confidently as I did then)... they proceeded to chuck and we lost. One of my friends on the opposing team looked to me and said I will remember May 14, 2013 as the day you were unstoppable. Although that was the most painful loss ever the thought of the feeling I had during that game stays with me to this day.
Zone is literally the flow state, flow state is where you are too focused to a game or activity, that everything else doesnt matter, it means you will be able to play or do it with everything you got, making you much better at the game or activity yes, it also can happen even if youre literally just sweeping the floor, if youre focused enough and youre not thinking of any other else
Yeah zone is a state of mind happens most particularly in the highest level of competition. You can't say you're in the zone just because you performed very well. Zone is something that makes you perform better than the best you can do.
Real talk when kise entered the zone that was the craziest thing ever. Not only was he able to perfect copy all the GoM styles but was also able to copy akashi's emperor eye. Add all that up with the zone and he is unstoppable, only downside was he can be in it for five mins at max from the drain haha.
Maybe saitama always gets in the flow state everytime. Maybe that is why he doesnt have feelings or to feel pain. Practice makes perfect with repition and saitama did his training for whole 3 years with all the pressure. Maybe he is always focus on fighting with his enemies tho. But still he loses in video games against king sooo. Just sharing my opinion guys. I havent sleep yet...
The zone is real... I play basketball and I've experienced it. It's an amazing feeling... It's like, all your shots go in and you instinctively know what the right play to make is
Zone is actually a real thing, it's called "Flow" and was coined by a Croatian Psychologist called Csikszentmihalyi. It's actually applicable to any activity, video games, sports, writing a test etc. It happens when you lock in and everything seems to fit into place for you almost too perfectly.
Amazing, I understand fully now. That is awesome, so it's basically a super state of mind that requires a super high focus on something
MrAsianKid lol that’s how I feel when I win my solos in fortnite all my shots hit
It doesnt require hyper focus, its supposed to be a state of mind achieved naturally whilst doing an activity.
Oh yeah, flow, I remember that concept.
Yuusha-MOBA-GAMING Ultra Instinct is self movement. It allows the body to self move with itself without the require focus. You must not think whilst moving.
I’ve been playing basketball for about 10 years and I’ve only experienced something similar to the Zone once. We were playing against our rivals and it was a game I really wanted to win, and that drive led me to play the best game I have ever played. Some of my friends on the team, who also watch KnB, were pointing it out to me after the game. Even the opponents coach said he had never seen me play so good. So, I’d say it’s real and it effects everyone in a different way.
U. Darkhelm i had it one at a tournament
Nice i remember entering it a handful of times. It's an amazing feeling is it not? My senior year I bet my coach I could get my first double double ever and I put up 25 points and 10 assists. I won an an InNout double double cheese burger lol
Stop lying we all know you don't know how to play ball
Fr!! Anyone who has played enough has experienced it at least once
And after that your body feels like burning with exhaustion
It's all about the confidence. U take ur first shot, it sinks.. U take a second shot, it sinks... Suddenly, u feel unstoppable.. U stop second guessing.. U stop hesitating... Suddenly, u pass better, u shoot over anyone... Suddenly, u see gaps, such wide gaps in the D, and it's as though u are alone in training.. Going for a simple layup. That's what it FEELS. WHAT actually happening, is that u are moving extraordinarily swiftly, the zone, is like bullet time.. And it only ends when u take notice of it. U don't summon it, and when it comes, u can't control it.. U just do, and let it flow through u. I'm not a pro player yet, but as I unlocked my potential, I felt it more and more.
Jj The 13th Thats how I would describe it, if you notice it... It's gone.
Jj The 13th FINALLY, SOMETHING TRUE. ONCE YOU NOTICE YOURE ON A ROLL, ONCE YOU NOTICE YOURE WITH THE FLOW/ IN THE ZONE, YOU LOSE TRACK. NICE POINTING THAT ONE OUT 👌🏿💯
Jj The 13th Also, i feel like if i get into such a state, i'll recognize it instantly and the problem is just that... Im greedy for playing well, and thats the problem. If i notice im sinking everything in, and that im dribbling through everyone, i loose focus and concentrate on staying in that state, rather than actually winning the game, which is the point factor that fucks me over
Dave Elevera. Cheers man. I know it coz I've felt it... I had a name for it.. I used to call it "The Power" when I was younger. I'd suddenly get this rush of adrenaline and determination.. an extra burst of energy where I felt none just a while ago. It was like the avatar state in Avatar the last airbender or the transforming through pain thing in Attack On Titan..
When u try to invoke it, it makes extra effort to NOT show up.
But the more I felt it, the more I experimented with it, and I think I found a way to sustain it... though it's still in the works, and it's bloody hard to maintain ...
I started playing basketball again last year and I was sticking defence against someone extremely better than me and suddenly I got really focused. I couldn't think of anything other than basketball and not letting him pass me.
But we don´t see their eyes emanating electricity....why is real life so lame?!
@`Jagger` that was a joke
@`Jagger` r/woosh
`Jagger` boomerang?
`Jagger` take a joke 🙄
@`Jagger` no shit sherlock
Fun fact, the zone, flow state, etc, is also present in arts like music, (when someones improvise they usually are in the zone)
It also inspired the "ultra instinct"
because your not thinking at all if you went in and after that you won't remember a thinf
Hahaha ultra instinct hahahakakaka kashi daze kon kon kuwaduki!!!(I have no idea what's the spelling)
Goku defeat jiren
ultra instinct is something different
@@sirmel11 not reallly, its based in the concept of mushin, and a japanese friend i have told me the concept is the same but with a religious "zen buddhist" flavor or something like that... just like they talked about getting into mushin when they do things like caligraphy and tea ceremony... its the same thing
I played basketball long before I started watching anime, but I can relate to zone in a way. It’s simple. When you’re hitting everything, and nothing will stop you. I had it happen to me once. I was hitting every three, layup, blocking shots. I finished the game with 33 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks.
Yeah same to me i fought taller guys but i made a multiple of lay ups in game
@@natsur1361 im one of the fastest of my team while playing basketball and even tall guys get blocked by me until someone fakes :V
same my body reacted much more faster than normal and i was hitting more threes
"I'm in the zone right now" is a term used quite a lot in sports and while playing games. So Zone here is used in the same way as Ultra Instinct in DBS, it's not a "form" like super Saiyan or a power, it's a state of mind.
Compared to Zone, Ultra Instinct is basically the next level. In UI you go even beyond focus and trying, your body basically moves on it's own, offence and defence happen autonomously and most importantly your adrenaline also kicks-in which makes you not feel any pain or fatigue and everything you do is completely perfect.
UI is kind of different from the zone you would only use UI in something like Martial Arts
I love this anime BUT ITS ONLY 3 SEASONS AND 75 EPISODES
Yh ik i watched the movie aswell
Watch "last game" the ending will make u cry
@@arcbaraquio7866 yes the ending was the best... The movie
Because it was shit and unreal
"hot hands" is when a shooter is comfortable with their shooting form in their entire body. Even great shooters usually start a game little off in their feet being planted right or their follow through, but when you see a few go in you start putting a little extra spring in your jump and considering the angles before you even shoot it, itching for another chance to test whether you're as hot as you feel. This leads to "heat checks", where players take excusably bad shots just to see how sharpened their shooting instincts are to their proper form. there's a reason shooters with more consistent forms tend to get hot easier, they're closer to that hot spot by default. Basketball watchers treat "hot hand" like the defining factor is hitting one shot after another, but that's not it, it's about consistency and a hot spot mentally. The zone is different and can extend from shooting to dribbling to defending to post ups, everything, something that only extremely experienced players get to revolved around willpower and emotion. Flow state is yet another thing where mentally a person doing an activity reaches an extremely productive feedback loop and loses themselves in an affirming pattern of action.
This is the best comment so far in here. Good job lol
Well said. As someone who has played ball for the majority of my life I can without a doubt say that ; your comment is on point.
*KUROKO NO BASKET GREATNESS!* I miss the anime so much 😭
We all do :(
S H O K U 食 FR😭
LumpKing i miss midorimachi-ssu
Just mentioning it makes me wanna cry. I love it so much! The movie was a great end for it though.
i miss momoi's crazy panties
a perfect example of zone is Kevin Love 35 points in the first quarter
VictorGamer 16 or klay thompsons 37 point in one quarter
I think james harden did something similar
Retrax CraEZy
Nope.
Internet Explorer he dropped 30 in one quarter in a game i remember
then ending the game with only 37 points, but that 35 points is amazing
I definitely think the zone is real and I believe I have felt it before. A couple weeks ago I was playing in a volleyball tournament and the setter gave me the most perfect set he could and I could just feel that I was going to get the point. I was completely focused and it was an entirely different sensation then when I normally get when I hit.
Bish Wilt That’s a sensation like you said. Not truly zone.
yes bro completely same i am a setter in volleyball, and our team in national grandfinals, we all have been in a complete state of 100% focus holy fuck jus thinking about it gives me goosebumps, i really cant call it zone like in anime since its fictional lmao, but our team chemistry was beyond godlike in that match, just think my every set for my spiker was DEADON PERFECT and even my spiker admitted it lmao
Ya, I was in a position like that yesterday because my team was facing the best team in our league and we all wanted to win so bad. We didn't end up winning but we all tried really hard and only lost by two points.
Same but me on basketball
Bish Wilt I feel it like a mental state of oncEntration, a special one.... like when you're in a rush studying before exams. I Actually feel it when I draw my comics :) everything around me dissapears, nothing but the paper exists, and everything goes allright, smoothly, perfect, but, unfortuntety for me it lasts not much time 😂😂😂 maybe I am Kise jajaja
I've been bowling for 10 years and i can definitely say that a zone like state is real
agree! totally agree with this.
it's called *flow*, and it expands beyond only sports.
Hey Nico, let's go bowling!
UMlunited, its very real, I can also relate, as I once hit every shot while playing RB World 2 and even in real life playing basketball.
amazing... xd i get nervous and suck ass too xddd
"The Zone" is real.
@Brylan Henderson I’ve reached this state running from my mom’s chancla
The zone help me win the ranked match many time
Yeah I’ve reached the state multiple times and I’m even trying to figure out how to do it on command not going very well
its not long tho
You're playing but you don't realize you're playing. I've always felt this when im playing basketball I just never knew what to call it up until I heard of it in koroko.
My zone must suck then
Being in the zone can be applied to almost anything, and I feel like what it actually is can vary situationally. Sometimes it’s just down to adrenaline, sometimes it’s a matter of extreme focus or willpower, and yes, sometimes I think it can come down to luck.
As a massive gamer the best example I can provide is when you’re playing an extremely hard game or level (for some reason things like rhythm games and shmups are perfect for this) and all of a sudden after hours of harsh losses the world around you fades and you just start crushing it. I have heard stories as well as personally experienced situations where your eyes will literally go partially out of focus and it’ll seem like you’re perceiving everything on the screen at once. It doesn’t really seem to make sense but it’s definitely a real thing.
‘
This has happened a lot to me, it’s amazing how good you become once you enter the “zone”
Same happend to me to not only video game but some sport too, it really feels you dont think anymore but feel something else take over your body like it have his own will
when you love basketball but cant play the sport
My case :(
That Klay Thompson's zone is what we can think if Midorima finally goes into the zone. I hope Kuroko No Basket gets another seasons for us to see Midorima go into the zone.
As a basketball player i do believe the zone is real and I believe i have reached it only a few times in my life but its lit
sure
Thats cool
yeah i used to play basketball before and i was the weakest of my friends forcing me to quit but when they needed me to play and if they lose they will be slaves of the bully I played my hardest and reached zone being in zone is like your blacked out then your not aware of what are you doing where are you going after that you won't remember what did you do it's almost over last two minutes score is 25 35 we are losing then I got mad at my self saying i can't defend them I just need to win this and in real life zone can be used with everything because zone can be entered with determination,adrenaline and pressure you don't need to be a prodigy
I got into the zone once and my friends call it my sensei mode
Zone is definitely real when you at your last drop of energy the heat in your body from sweat of fate hues gives off last resort clutch state of mind on some self movement type of vibe and only thing people haven’t able to achieve is creating a aura of color like most anime characters can do in certain shows and aura is 3 dimensional
I am not a great player myself but i can indeed confirm "The Zone" is 100% real. I was practicing three pointers for years. I was always bad at them and could never find a shooting form. One day i had a chance to finally play and show my friends i improved. I missed most of my first shots. Until eventually in the second game i got a nice release, felt good, and the shot sank. I got a confidence boost from there but i still wasnt in the zone yet just playing normally. Next shot i got i hesitated less and focused on the hoop. Released and it sank again. I instantly felt good about my shot from then. I got another open shot in the opposite corner. Did not hesitate one bit, looked up, quick release and it sank. It felt great. I didnt realize anything special was going on in my head i was just doing what i practiced. I was open again, boom, another one. Got the ball on the left mid, cut in for an easy layup it felt like i was practicing alone. Caught the ball on a fast break on the left corner and let it fly, it felt great. And i remember watching the ball go through the hoop perfectly and hearing the swish. Everything was going my way. I just played, and let it come naturally and felt great.
I’ve always played basketball and I’m so happy to see that this anime is getting more people to play👍🏻
well playing highschool basketball I can say it is true in a sense. I get these moments in a game where pretty much everything I wanted to do I was just able to do it, heck I wasn't even really a high jumper at the time either but at one point I ended up dunking on someone who was a foot taller than me and everyone looked at me like "where that came from?"
I tried dunking w/o anybody guarding during practice and I can't even do it LOL. There's just those moments for me where everything was just so clear, I wouldn't say like everyone is on slo-mo but seems like I can already see what was about to happen. But it definitely don't last that long maybe a couple of minutes of a quarter when we're struggling. Most of the time I just keep shooting when I feel it and watch that ball go in.
Edit:
Details on that dunk, I saw a teamate shoot a three and I remember seeing it and I knew it was gonna miss and bounce right in front of the rim and I just jumped before it bounced over the center and basically did a put back dunk. I remember looking down and was like "damn, I jumped that high?"
Thats lit! I can't play sports very well due to my constant weird eyesight and when my reactions to things are like 50 percent slower when there are people watching.
Just like iverson did the put bck dunk over grant hill i think
I’m an artist I draw a lot and I think I entered “The Zone” a couple of times.
PS my favorite nba player of all time is Kobe
U entered the zone while drawing? R u stupid
RIP KOBE
the 'PS my favorite nba player of all time is Kobe' hits hard now
@@arcbaraquio7866 You can enter the zone anytime it’s just being in a mind of state where the outside world won’t matter only with happens in your mind
@@arcbaraquio7866 😭😭😭💀💀
OMG I LOVE KUROKO NO BASKET SO MUCH
S H O K U 食 damn right
S H O K U 食 same mate
Taiga Kagami is fire
Me too!
S H O K U 食 SAME DUDE I AM SO OBSESSE WITH THE ANIME THAT I CAN'T LEAVE THE FANDOM
Everything in the anime can be done and achieved
But only if you are a world class player with extreme skills
Đəmøñhųņťĕř you make shots anywhere on the floor even with defense?
1301407gl yes but like i said you need a very high levels of skills
not when human error is a fact of life.
1301407gl No exaggeration but steph curry can shoot anywhere past half court
Letter A but he cant hit it 100%
It’s real I’ve been in a zone and couldn’t miss and focused so much I was making shots almost half court range and didn’t have a reaction
I think its real but its overly exaggerated in the anime
Itami true, it only happens when you have strong will to win the game, and when you do not hesitate to throw the ball, i.e when you flow with the ball. It just keeps sinking in, just until you notice that youre doing it, wonder if the next shot will make it or not, unfortunately not making the shot, breaking the momentum...
Stop looking for reality in fantasy, it's a Anime not a real basketball game
@@KamiSamaisPissed The author of KnB is inspired by what Kobe said.. It is exactly what the OP said, in the anime its overly exaggerated.
The zone in reality is just you feeling hot and confident.
Get Low I mean it is real but yeah the anime just makes it look unrealistic
I've experienced that stated before. I was training (Basketball) with my team and we were playing a little match. There was a steal and a guy wanted to take thy layup, and when he was about 4 metres away from the basket I just kind o snapped into the zone and ran from halfcourt to the basket and blocked his layup without even thinking. I was faster than ever, I jumped higher than ever, and I can't remember much of it, but it was an awesome feeling. Unfortunately, my body was too untrained and weak to sustain the zone for any longer and I had to go to the side because my legs were just really weak.
I entered the zone a few times back when I used to play Call of Duty multiplayer. During certain games, I would be annihilating everyone I ran into, I would react faster then usual and I wasn't worried about getting killed. I was really confident in my abilities and I would have the best K/D ratio for that game. But once I start thinking about how good I'm doing, my play slowly start getting worse and I pretty much lose the zone state. When I try to get back into that state and focus it never works, only once I stop trying so hard, there's a chance that I could enter it again.
All games had this zone thing. I got one when playing futsal the other day. Its zone or adrenaline rush. I didn't feel tired in the game, my mind is clearer, able to demonstrate good level of awareness (Didn't look at the ball at my feet even once, saw all my teammates around me, faster reaction.) But after that, burned out for 3 days.
I think i was in the Zone two times in my life. First time was with 15 in a football match with friends. I scored 10 goals in the match and we won like 10:5 or something like that. Second time was in a Company Football Cup with 19 or 20, i played with and against players from the 4th and 5th german football league and scored 4 goals. In both games my team was the obvious underdog. And after both games i was so exhausted that i had to lay down for like an hour before i could go change my clothes. I didnt even noticed realy much from the games, it was just play and score for me. After the second game one of the players from my team ( a guy from a german 4th league team ) asked me if i wanted to make a try out on his team. I never did the try out, i know that i am not even close to playing on that level.
I experienced something like the zone, one day while in a basketball tournament between a bunch of schools I just started scoring at least 15 points thanks to my teammates. Honestly the only thing I thought of at the moment was to make everyone proud and to surpass myself. That was a thing that I only experienced once unless you count every time I made a shot with very little help.
I recently had my first high school soccer game and I was up against a bunch of Juniors and Seniors from a rival school. Being a Freshman, most people would probably be intimidated, but I wasn’t. I didn’t see them as someone or something better, I just saw it as the thing stopping me from winning. When I truly felt in “The Zone” was during the second half. I was making amazing, spot-on, and maybe even impossible passes when I played. My foot skills were at an all time high and I was only stopped once by a defender in that game. If I were to watch it myself, I would’ve been amazed.
But in the game, I felt nothing. I wasn’t feeling anything. No emotion. No pain. I only had a desire. WIN. All I thought of was winning. I never thought who to pass to, when to shoot on goal, or if I should attempt to dribble. I just did it. No thoughts. Only action. So, when people ask if there’s a zone-like state in anything, my personal thought is that there is something out there that makes you perform at your peak and it involves your mindset. Whether called “Zone” or “Flow”, this thoughtless state of mind in which performance is at an all time high is there and, though I’ve truly only been in “The Zone” once before, I have recently tapped into it and it is very real.
So, again, I believe it’s true. Completely and entirely. If you don’t believe though, I want you to try one thing. If you play a sport such as basketball, football, soccer, etc. in which YOU can decide how the game will go, don’t think. Don’t feel. Desire. You need to desire something so bad that it’s the only thing you know when you play that sport. It works only if you focus on nothing but your desire. Saying is harder than doing for some, but if you believe you can do it and you find your will to do it, I can assure you that you too can reach “The Zone”.
The backbround music that starts at 6:25 is from Katekyo Hitman Reborn - Ost Tsuna Awakens
To activate zone 1.focus for defense and offense 2.now do neutral offensive focus and neutral defensive focus 3.increase your speed and the last this is important 4.you must have the consistency in a game
Great video brother! I play basketball in college. Its definitely a real thing. All it takes is seeing one shot go in the basket and your body does the rest.
NBA eastern conference finals Heat vs Celtics 2012, LeBron's performance in a win or go home game will be one of the best example of a guy in the zone for the whole game
I remember when i was playing nba 2k14 in myCareer one time i break my most points records and when it comes to interview section my character talks about "i was in the zone backthen" so yep i think it is same "zone".
Everyone can enter the flow state when they’re doing something, but you have to feel a complete dedication to nothing else but what you’re doing at that moment, I’ve done it in sports and games and it almost feels like your mind is blanking out and thinking of nothing but the one thing you’re doing at the same time automatically.
Funny I experienced the zone about 3 months ago when my team was so tired and breathless and we were down by 4 my body just felt like It had awoken something at the end of that game I got 4 consecutive blocks and won the game with a buzzer beater
Ender Wolf Amazingly clutch
Ender Wolf cool!!
"clutch
Lies
Oh yeah proove it
I remember some of my friend entered in the zone in the middle of a basketball game. He fell down than got up and started dominating the game alone for like 5 minutes.
I live for this.
I’m in a volleyball team and I remember I think I entered the zone on a match while I was serving. Dude I made 8 points serving and it felt like my body synchronized with my thoughts perfectly, I literally forgot about everything around me and served as hard as I could. It literally felt so good
Same only for me it was in ping pong. I was playing against my coach and almost beat him and time itself felt slower, especially since I could hit his shots. And sometimes when I play people who are good like my dad I enter the zone as well, probably because I found a formidable opponent, kind of like how Aomine can almost never find anyone who can rival him.
LeBron did this zone thing At 2012 finals vs celtics
God mode
It's not really an ability, but more like a state of mind, where you just won't think about unnecessary things and just let instinct takeover and play god-like.
Zone is a real thing........trust me I know
Being a basketball player myself, and having entered the zone multiple times, I can tell you that there are some requirements to enter the zone which are :
- love for the game / close to dedicate your entire time to the sport,video game or whatever you love doing.
- experience of the game and knowledge of your body and its capabilities.
- obviously be good (you can't enter the zone if you are not good at what you are doing).
- a really strong opponent (how are you supposed to enter the zone if your opponent is trash lol).
- forget everything else but the game and be locked in (super mind set).
- you have to be extremely competitive / hate losing obviously.
As a former basketball player
The zone exists
And it's incredible to hit
I think zone is just a feeling of being so hype in real life
Alright fellas its time to go BALLS DEEP into Kuroko no Basuke
I've been in the zone so many times now. I work at UPS and the big thing for me is belt stops. What I do is I sort boxes I get from sort aisle and send them down the appropriate chutes for the loaders so they can load the trailer full of boxes. I'm like Aomine at this point. I'm the best in the building and nothing can stop me. I mock the doors open and throw myself in the zone. The music I listen to helps as well. It gives me a beat, a groove. I go till I can't go anymore. But once I'm out, my body shuts down. Which is why I wait till the last hour to do this. Cuz after that I'm dead as fuck.
The ZONE is known as adrenaline rush in scientific words
It has happened to me once when I was playing cricket and my team needed 4 runs to win and we only had one ball left plus the opponents team fielder were the best and even the best batsmen in our team got out by those fielders and I kept saying in my mind that I have to score a 4 in this ball and the bowler's ball swing felt too easy for me (actually it was a difficult ball) and I hit it and scored a four
This anime was the only reason I tried out for the basketball team😂
I’ve only ever been in the “zone” once (as far as I could remember) I was playing a game and I was doing okay throughout the game. But I really wanted to win so for some reason in the last 5 minutes of the game I couldn’t MISS A SHOT. Like Idk how to describe it. It was like no matter what shot I took or how contested it was it would always go in. We won but I felt like I was still getting better as the game went on but the game ended. So idk maybe I was almost entering the Zone but I’ve never felt anything like that again. But my school basketball season is about to start so I’ll come back and tell ya how it goes or if I enter the zone at all.
As a basketball player, I can attest to this. The zone exists.... It basically (IRL) entails giving all your focus to the moment, having absolute confidence, and a culmination of hard work and preparation. Facts.
I freaking watcjed this anime so many times....
This is one of the best anime ever!!
The zone is the moment you enjoy and try every moment of playing
Or you stop thinking and just play like it's the only thing that matters
I think The Zone is real it is the desire and love what you do. It can apply to all the things that you do. Kuroko's Basketball is my favorite im waiting if it have a season 3 i hope that it have.
It's also called for teams who don't have players who can't guard their man.
When i play i get Cold hands
Same here
It's called pressure, It happens to me often because I dont want to make mistakes in front of too many people, and I dont wanna be a laughstock. Thats why ppl need confidence
*sigh* same here
A lot of people in the comment section only describe glimpse of being in the zone. That is what it feels like.
However, I want to explain my theory of being in the zone. What I had experienced, and what I did to get there.
I want to start of by stating, not anyone can unlock being in the deepest part of the zone. What was described as being in the zone in kuroko is a different type of being deep in the zone. That zone, comes from sheer determination and willpower.
I want to talk about the true zone.
Back in 2016, I had taken a vacation to my home land. I just graduated, and was taking time off school. I didn't have anything to do, so I played basketball 4 hours when I got up in the morning, then another 2 to 5 hours in the afternoon. It varied everyday. I did this for 3-4 months.
So everytime I played, I always practed my fundamentals and incorporated calisthenics. As time passed, I realized I was getting better, slowly but surely. My moves were basic, but I began realising it was getting easier for me to move around and doing what I like.
So, after several months passed by, I came back to my homeland. I went to play pick up basketball at a park nearby my house. I played as regular and as I was driblling around, it suddenly happened. I began doing moves I didn't even practice, it was coming out automatically and my brain was so shocked. I continued to play and test my limits. I realised, I was limitless. Anything and everything I wanted to do, I did. There was no one stopping me, and if they did, they wouldnt be able to the next play. Even when I didn't want the ball. The guys were so amazed, that they kept goving me the ball. I myself was also amazed because I did not think I was capable of such thing.
Thinking back, I didn't even realize I was in the zone at the the time. Now, I know that it is what a true "in the zone" feeling is. The balance between reality, determination, willpower and imagination molding into one piece. It's not about yourself being absorded by your play. It's about the balance of your consience and abilities. That is the true zone, and it comes from practice. So, everytime you hold a basketball... you're always in the zone. Your off days and other peoples great days.
Some people will never unlock it, no matter how hard they try. I don't know why, but you could always give it a shot.
That is my experience and what my in the zone feeling is like.
If you want a simple story, back when I was in highschool, I came off the bench for a tourney, I had 4 fouls... my coach placed me in, I took a shot and started draining whenever and wherever I shot. From the half court to turnaround jumpers to shoot a 3 pointer. I did it. But I was eventually fouled out because I went to block a guy... it was a clean block but they called it a foul so w/e.
Basketball ball in real life surpasses anime!
The action and the suspense of the playoffs when every thing comes to the last second - literally-
Curry 3 pointers rivals modorima
Kyre irving Handels and movments are better than aomini
Chris paul passes are better than koroko or akashi to some extent
LeBaron dunks and high vertical jumps are better than kagami
Harden's movments and foot work better than kise
Cousins, porzingis, AD, whiteside, drummond, deandre jordan are dominant like murasaki
Not to mention kD, westbrook, giannis... Etc
And those are just the current players
So if u like basketball anime,,,,, ooh boy u should watch the NBA
MoOoOoOoNize I wouldn't say it surpasses it, cause anime is fiction. But I love your examples for real.
You are bugging out my friend, KNB would stomp real life NBA players easily.
MoOoOoOoNize well the tension is different berween real lie basketball and anime.I feel more hype when i watch knb than watching NBA
Carl Monroe and Sharif Brown Actually they said in the anime that they're not as good as NBA players and referenced Shaq and Ray Allen.
wanna no why, cause they dont have close ups in real life
I feel like the zone is an exaggeration of a player building momentum. After you’ve built that momentum,you’ve entered “the zone”. At this point you focus on winning the game and nothing bothers you. All you want is the ball in your hands to help your team win
this just makes me want to play high level basketball again and get into the zone again. there is nothing more fun it's like playing indeed in slow motion and you just get so hyped.
It's created by extremly developed concentration when you do something. I'm sure some of us have ever felt similar phenomenon such as zone but less perfect as zone
So...... Anime is just real life but exaggerated?
yepp
Took a college basketball class since I didn't played it competitively. At a certain point I wanted to be the best player in the class, and entered zone one game. I dunked the ball, made a steal, locked down the other team's best player, and scored half of the points (games ended after 15-20 points). It'd be a lot cooler if I could say I entered zone in a varsity game or divison 1 college game. But this moment still felt good.
No because ........
No matter how hard u try, you can’t get lightning coming from your eyes that match your hair colour
The more you know
Now you know
I'm not that good in basketball but I felt The Zone 2 times in 2 different pickup games. I've notice the change because I easily get tired playing basketball. Basically it's like my body heats up and I don't get tired for few minutes.
Duh!!! zone is as real as the sun example Tom Brady come back against Atlanta.......
Levi Guwap true af, I got goosebumps watching him take the game back
Shame Brady wasn’t in the zone when he missed that pass xD
Kevin Abioye yeah he should off turned the zone up to 127% to catch that ball cuh...
It Can be said to be Real. During the 93 NBA finals against Phoenix, MJ said he'd entered the Zone. And l'd argued about one player in today's game who often enters in the Zone during the playoffs, Jimmy Butler
Wait.. When i Play Basketball i Lit Never Pay Attention To Anything Accept the Game... Does it Mean im Always in The Zone? Or Flow? I'am Interested.......Btw im So Focused i Let Someone Steal my Snack ;( I Also Dont Give a Dam About Someone Talking to Me.
Aura Sense nahh ur just greedy 😂😂😂😂😂
The Zone in any form is a state where the mind becomes completely focused on whatever caused the "activation" of The Zone and in sports it allows you to subconsciously aim and make tweaks while going through the motions. Think of it like Ultra instinct in DBS. You naturally go through the motions while your brain is constantly making changes and enhancements.
No flex zone

The most impressive form of "The Zone" I've seen is in cricket, especially test cricket. Some players can stay in The Zone for hours or even days at a time.
It's real in everything we do in life, I get in the zone sometimes when I draw and it's fucking amazing, so yeah there's your answer
Ive experienced the flow state a few times, and it just feels like a dream, the flow state is kind of when you zone out , and for me i see kind of blurry and i can’t see anything else out of the game, i cant hear anything but the game,and in in total focus. I jump higher, i dribble faster, i shoot faster,i move faster, i have insane accuracy.But it has one flaw, once you go out you have no energy and cant do anything anymore, the best thing to do is to not think so you can keep it for longer
Any tips bro? I still gathering some information about this topic to get which work best for me
Like if last game made u cry
Just gotta love your vids mate. They make me addicted.
Anime at 0:46?

Klay's 3rd quarter against the Kings was about as close to KnB's zone as we'll probably ever see (especially over an extended period of time). You know he's full on anime-mode when he gets fouled and just chucks up a 30 footer that won't even count and he still makes it clean lol

Ummm...more like:
Exaggerated or Realistic?
Seraphy Wang More realistic or i should say just realistic
Kuroko no Basket is basically a shounen anime that is 90% tournament arc
Meaning of zone is super high focus . You can enter zone if you focus about the game you play and obsessed with "winning"
Kobe actually said he was in the zone when he scored 81 points in 2006
When I was "zone"d, it was very fun. But it goes too long, my leg and heart kills me
anyone who has ever played sports knows what being in the zone feels like. when you're just on fire, super focused, and everything you shoot you know it's just going in.
As a volleyball player that wanted to become the best libero in the club I experienced this in a match! We were losing very bad. It was our serve but the serve was unfortunately not in the right place so the ball came back fast to the left wing. Whilst that was happening I was in the middle back, before the match my coach told me to squat lower, so I can get the ball back up when someone spikes it. Remembering his words I did squat lower than normal, my mind went calm and I saw everything in slow motion. I saw him hitting the ball and I saw the trajectory of the ball, so I took a step and it bounced of my arms. The ball went straight to the setter, and we managed to get a point. Everyone was wildin! Me too actually I was the one that was soooo hyped up. One of my best memories when I was still playing volleyball. I think I'll get back to volleyball hahahaha I miss the moments and the adrenaline.
9:41 There was also a guy, who scored 100 points in 1 game. His name was Wilt Chamberlain.
The Zone is real, it can be a really unique thing for everyone. I, for one when I was playing HS basketball, I felt being 'in the zone', but in spurts. You cannot really do it for a long period of time because your body will give up. I did not score back to back just like how they do in the anime, but I just run, defend and jump like I seldom do. Of course you cannot sprint, defend and jump at your highest level every time but when I was 'in the zone', I can. It may be in spurts or just a matter of possessions, but when I am in this state back then, I was just laser focused on the game. I was extra aware of my opponents and teammates. The feeling is one of a kind. I think it is not on the skill level of a player but on a mental state of focus. We have all seen benchwarmers in the NBA explode for 30 or 40 without warning and cannot do it the next game. It can also be said when a player scores or makes a highlight play, they play better. I have seen players who seem to lack energy until they score or make plays. So yeah, the zone is real and it is different for every one. The slumps is as real as the zone too by the way.
Well, just one thing, the zone is not just in sports, it can be in other things, like drawing, writing, and music, but it is easier to notice it in the sports
I have experienced the zone a few times once when playing basketball and once while playing splatoon I have found that it has gotten easier for me to enter the zone as the challenge has increased
I entered the zone in a pickup basketball game with my friends once it was surreal. I scored 17 out of our 20 points and I did not miss an entire shot the whole game. I was unstoppable, it didn't matter who was guarding me as I hit shots all over the court. Whenever the team was down they'd give me the ball, but when it was point up everybody wanted to be greedy and score the last bucket. I literally told them if you want to win give me the ball (I never said anything as confidently as I did then)... they proceeded to chuck and we lost. One of my friends on the opposing team looked to me and said I will remember May 14, 2013 as the day you were unstoppable. Although that was the most painful loss ever the thought of the feeling I had during that game stays with me to this day.
In the zone is a real state of mind where your focused to the maximum and you play your best in any sport
Zone is literally the flow state, flow state is where you are too focused to a game or activity, that everything else doesnt matter, it means you will be able to play or do it with everything you got, making you much better at the game or activity
yes, it also can happen even if youre literally just sweeping the floor, if youre focused enough and youre not thinking of any other else
Yeah zone is a state of mind happens most particularly in the highest level of competition. You can't say you're in the zone just because you performed very well. Zone is something that makes you perform better than the best you can do.
Real talk when kise entered the zone that was the craziest thing ever. Not only was he able to perfect copy all the GoM styles but was also able to copy akashi's emperor eye. Add all that up with the zone and he is unstoppable, only downside was he can be in it for five mins at max from the drain haha.
Maybe saitama always gets in the flow state everytime. Maybe that is why he doesnt have feelings or to feel pain. Practice makes perfect with repition and saitama did his training for whole 3 years with all the pressure. Maybe he is always focus on fighting with his enemies tho. But still he loses in video games against king sooo. Just sharing my opinion guys. I havent sleep yet...
The zone is real... I play basketball and I've experienced it. It's an amazing feeling...
It's like, all your shots go in and you instinctively know what the right play to make is
