It is a tradition of parquet floors. A ritual that basketball players have around the world. After training, it is customary for them to engage in competitions - and bets - for shooting from the midfield.
“THERE'S SO MUCH PRESSURE!” 😅

The players from South Dakota State University went even further. Last Thursday, during the trip to their neighbors in North Dakota, they filmed themselves shooting from the midfield. The scene takes place before the match, after the warm-up according to an article on the Washington Post website.
The Jackrabbits (nickname of university players) investigate the baskets of the midfield - the center line is located about 14 meters from the basket - as if they were simple free throws. Even if we see only five on the sequence posted on social networks, they would have succeeded six in a row. On the video, taken from sites around the world like that of the BBC, we hear the player say "that there is too much pressure". A pressure that did not prevent him from returning the basket and celebrating this performance happily with his partners.
