During a free throw, an arrow moves left and right over the backboard, which determines the direction of the shot. A white meter fills and empties, which controls the touch of the shot. The player can shoot by pressing {{1}}, with the shot most likely to go in when the arrow is over the basket and the touch gauge is in the marked green area. If the player makes the first shot, the player gets a second free throw; otherwise, the ball can be rebounded by either player and the game continues. | During a free throw, an arrow moves left and right over the backboard, which determines the direction of the shot.
