The essentials of playing Basketball Shooting

Build familiarity through play

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Refer to the controls when needed.

The challenge in front of you

Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

The order of play

  1. Set angle and power.
  2. Shoot.
  3. A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
  4. Adjust for another shot.

How your actions work

Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Work through an example

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.

Check this before moving on

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
