Solution
- The game of basketball begins with a jump ball or tip-off. In this procedure, two opposing players, usually the tallest from each team, stand in the centre circle.
- The referee tosses the ball straight up between them, and both players jump to try and tap the ball to their teammates.
- The ball must reach its peak height before either player can touch it.
- Once a player successfully taps the ball, the team that gains possession begins the game.
- This method is used only to start the game, while other jump ball situations during the game follow the alternate possession rule.
