What kind of sport is basketball?

Attractive speed and high score game development! 

Basketball is a ball game in which two teams of five players compete for one ball and score points in the ring that the opposing team defends.

Also, because the court is not so large, the speed of attack and defense is very fast, and there are many contact plays between players, so you can not only increase speed (agility) but also strengthen your body (physical) robustly. That is also needed.

Like any other sport, injuries can occur during the game. Injuries can be avoided if the necessary preventative measures are taken. To avoid injury in basketball court you should be careful and follow the rules. 

Basic Rules of Basketball

In addition, in the event of a foul, time-out, free throw, etc., the game time will be stopped and the game will restart as soon as the next play starts.

Player substitution can be performed by each player who has not exited as many times as necessary.

When crossing or jumping over a line in the no-charge semi-circle area and driving toward the goal to pass or shoot, the off-charging foul cannot be taken even if there is physical contact in the semi-circular area under the ring.

This is a rule to prevent a defending player from ambushing under the goal in order to get a charging foul proclaimed.
