basketball
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, usually five or three players, face each other on a rectangular or half-court for three-on-three basketball, competing for the main goal of the game. throw a ball (approximately 9.4 inches (24 cm) in diameter) through the hoop of the basket (18 inches (46 cm) in diameter by 10 feet (3,048 m) high mounted on a board at each end of the court) in when preventing the opposing team from doing the same to their side's basket.A close shot within the specified range is worth two points, while a shot taken from behind the three-point line is worth three. After the foul, play time stops and the player who is fouled or designated to throw the technical foul is provided with one or more one-point free throws, in addition to a penalty for receiving the ball (bridge). (The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but if the game ends in a tie, an additional period of play is provided.) Additional (overtime) is required.
Players push the ball by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling) or by passing it to a teammate, both of which require considerable skill. When attacking, players can use many different ways such as laying up, shooting or dunking; when defending, they can steal the ball from a pitcher, intercept or block a shot; Offensive or defensive actions can be re-thrown, that is, a missed shot that bounces off the rim or the backboard. It is against the law to lift or pull the pivot foot without dribbling, carrying or holding the ball with both hands and then continuing to dribble.
