(i) Free throw: In basketball, a free throw is a scoring opportunity given to a player after they have been fouled by an opponent. The player gets to shoot from the free throw line, which is 15 feet away from the basket. They have to take the shot without any defensive players trying to block it.

(ii) Court player: A court player in basketball refers to any player who is actively participating in the game on the court. This term is used to distinguish the players who are on the playing surface from those who may be on the bench or not currently in the game.

(iii) Referee’s throw: It refer to a situation where the referee has to make a throw-in to resume play. This typically happens when both teams simultaneously touch the ball, and it becomes unclear who should be awarded possession. In this case, the referee will make a throw-in from the sideline or baseline to determine which team gains possession. Players from each team often jump for the ball to try to secure possession after the referee’s throw. This situation is also sometimes called a “referee’s toss-up.”

(ii) Smash: The smash is a powerful attacking shot in badminton. It is a forceful overhead shot where the player hits the shuttlecock downward with great speed and steep angle, aiming to make it difficult for the opponent to return. The smash is often used to score points or put pressure on the opponent.

(iii) Deuce: Deuce is a term used when the score is tied at 40-40 (or 40-all) in a game. In this situation, players must win two consecutive points to win the game instead of just one. It adds excitement and tension to the game as players battle to gain the advantage and win the game.
