3X3 Basketball

3x3 Basketball is played on a court slightly larger than half a regulation basketball court, where two teams of three players compete by attacking and defending the same hoop. The winner is determined by the team with the highest score after 10 minutes or the first to reach 21 points. Unlike 5-on-5 Basketball, shots are worth one point within the shooting arc and two points outside.
A basketball player in a gray jersey is jumping and attempting a layup, holding a blue and yellow basketball close to the hoop. Another player in front is defending, with one arm raised. A third player is behind, also attempting to block the shot. The background shows an audience seated in a stadium, with some people wearing masks.
