In basketball, the court is divided into two halves. Each half has a large semi-circle. Any shot within that semi-circle is worth 2 points. Shots outside of it are worth 3 points. If the opposing team commits a penalty/violation, your team gets a free throw. During a free throw, one person on your team stands on the line within the 3-point arc. Everyone else stands around you. They cannot block your shot, but on the final shot, they can try to steal the ball after the ball bounces off the rim of the basket.
