Basketball was also the protagonist in the third edition of the Night of Sports, held in Madrid's Plaza de España with the sponsorship of Movistar. The basketball track installed in the center of the capital tested the aim, speed and strength of dozens of participants, in an event that merged sports, show and citizen participation. The public faced a triple challenge full of emotion.
The first, baptized as the clock, consisted of scoring the largest number of points in 45 seconds, with releases from different positions: free throws (1 point), triple (2 points) and from half track (3 points). Each player could repeat from the failed area or change position until time is exhausted.
The second challenge, the counterreloj, demanded to complete a tour scoring in each area: a basket in the area, a free kick, a triple and a launch from midfield. It could only be advanced to the next point after reinning, which increased the voltage of the challenge.
The brooch was put by the impossible triple, a commemorative test for the 20 years of the “M” of Movistar, which challenged the participants to light from 20 meters.
On this occasion, it was not enough accurately: the force and a pinch of luck also played a crucial role. Movistar Students quarry monitors guided the activity, contributing enthusiasm and technical advice. It was a special night for Basket lovers, where each one showed their skills with their hands.
