Triangle Offense.

"The" offensive scheme of the 90's, as practiced by the Chicago Bulls and the L.A. Lakers. Invented at USC in the 1940's, coach Tex Winter brought it to Chicago in 1985 but it was not fully implemented until the arrival of Phil Jackson in 1989. Gets its name because the set-up always begins with 3 guards starting behind the 3-point line on the same side of the court. Superstars players dislike it because it relies on a lot of fast ball movement (i.e. unselfish play) and it can get complicated.

Triple; Tiro de 3-puntos.

Un lanzamiento que vale tres puntos porque el lanzador tiene ambos pies detrás de la línea de tres puntos - arco que está a 22 pies (6.25 metros) de distancia del aro - cuando lanza el balón; también vale 3 puntos si un pie está detrás de la línea mientras que el otro está en el aire. También: "three pointer".
