er gets close to the basket, press the
A
key to
shoot the ball. (See Shooting Power, below.)
Any infraction during the game results in the
word “
FOUL
” being displayed on screen. Then
press the
START
key to simply start the ball
again. If a ball just hits the rim of the hoop, the
other team can shoot again only if the ball is
brought beyond the 3-point line. Otherwise, it
is considered a foul. Whenever a team gets a
shot, the other team then takes possession of
the ball. You are automatically promoted to
the next level when you win or tie in each
level.
