Outside that area runs an arc, a semi circle from which shots  are worth the same as all shots inside the key &#8211; two points. Outside the  semi-circle, anywhere else on the court, a successful shot earns you  three points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">\n<p class=\"Normal\"><span class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\">Obviously, the  further you are from the net, the harder it is to shoot accurately. Some  players, whose talents are most in evidence inside the key, might never  t<\/span>ry a single three-point shot all season. There are others who  practise three-point shooting, and who are usually the ones that  team-mates will try to give the ball with time running out and a deficit  of around ten points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">\n<p class=\"Normal\"><span class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\">Some of the most  amazing three-po<\/span>int shots are complete luck, stabs in the dark  from a team who have the ball deep in their half of the court with time  running out. Under normal circumstances, you would prefer to be standing  on the very edge of the three-point line to give yourself the best  chance of hitting it &#8211; but that is not always possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Landing a three-point shot is a skill that takes a lot of practice and a lot of natural ability, and an adept three-point shooter can be worth a great deal to a basketball team.
