Three-point field goal（三分球）: A three-point field goal (also known as three-pointer) is a field goal in a basketball game, made from beyond the three-point line, a designated arc radiating from the basket. A successful attempt is worth three points, in contrast to the two points awarded for shots made inside the three point line. A three-point field goal is distinguished from a three-point play, which occurs when a shooter successfully scores a two-point basket while being fouled, and then makes the ensuing free throw. If such a foul occurs on a successful three-point shot, the resulting free throw gives the player a chance to earn a four point play. TEXT A Notes 2.

A year can often be broken up into several distinct sections (sometimes themselves called seasons). These are: Pre-season, Regular season, Post-season, Off-season. TEXT A Notes 3. All-star game（全明星赛）: An all-star game is an exhibition game played by the best players in their sports league, except in the circumstances of professional sports systems in which a democratic voting system is used.
