Rules of the game of basketball

A popular basketball game and now does not lose its relevance, despite the fact that new sports have appeared. Since the year nineteen sixty-eight, the official matches have been held in closed rooms, although up to that time it was allowed to play outdoors.

The rules of the game of basketball differ significantly from the rules of other sports. The match begins with the center of the field throwing the ball by the referee, who throws it up, clearly between the two opponents. As soon as the players touched the ball, the playing time begins. After the referee whistle sounds, time stops, then resumes when the referee in the same way allows to continue the game.

To conduct an attack, teams are given no more than twenty-four seconds, these are the rules of the game of basketball. This is followed by a special operator. There is a so-called "three-second zone" of the opponent, in which the player of the team that attacks, can be no more than three seconds.

Draw in basketball is not allowed. If the winner is not determined for the time allotted for the game, an additional five-minute time, called "overtime," is appointed, and so it happens until the winner is revealed.

All throws are scored with two points, except one, which is made behind an arc, specially marked. For such a throw the player receives three points.

During the game, a judge often plays a disputed ball. A controversial situation arises in the following moments: when the ball is in possession of two competitors at once, not inferior to each other; If the referee can not determine which player touched the ball last, before the ball left the playing field; If the ball gets stuck between the ring and the shield.

The technique of the ball has some limitations. After dribbling (technical possession of the ball), the player is allowed to take two steps with him in their hands, and without hitting them on the floor surface. Then the player must give it to his teammate or make a throw on the ring. If the player has violated the rules of the game of basketball, after making the third step, the ball is transferred to the opposing team. In the event that the player stops, holding the ball in his hand, without making a throw, not giving the pass, and then continuing the game, "double-keeping" is fixed. This violation is punishable by transferring the ball to the opponent. If, during the stoppage, the basketball player, who owns the ball, tapes them on the floor, then continues dribbling, the violation is not seen in it. Doing is allowed with both right and left hand. Two hands can not hold the ball at the same time - this is considered a violation of the rules, after that it is given to the opposing team.

Each team on the field can only set five people. The remaining five-seven are on the bench and are waiting for a replacement. Replacements can be made in any quantity, but only during the stopwatch stop.

The rules of the game of basketball prohibit the opponent from hitting his hands, clasping his hands, thereby blocking his movements, jostling, stepping on his feet. For any of these violations, the basketball player receives a personal warning, and the remark is punished with a foul. When the player receives five fouls, he is removed from the field until the end of the game with the right replacement.

Of course, it's nice to look at fair basketball, the rules of which do not allow unsportsmanlike conduct, disputes with the judge, brawls, a rough form of clarifying the relationship. For all these violations, basketball players, like coaches, receive a technical foul. If a more serious violation is declared disqualifying foul, which provides for the disqualification of the player until the end of the game.

For a grave violation, a free throw is awarded to the ring of the offending team. It can be performed by both the victim and his team-mate. The throw is made from a distance of six meters from the shield with the allotted mark. Each hit in the ring brings the player and his team one point.

Almost all players know how to play basketball and not break the rules. However, not everyone can keep their emotions. But the game is very exciting and exciting, and watching it is a pleasure and a lot of positive emotions.
