核心畫面

One way to hold all three uses together: points taken out of live play, from the field itself, while the clock is still running. In each sport the phrase quietly marks off the scores that are handed to you after play has stopped. Football sets it against the short kick that follows a touchdown; basketball sets it against the free throw taken after a foul; rugby sets it against a kick awarded once the game has been halted. So the word field is doing real work here: the score came from open play, not from a stopped game.

射門得分(三分)

比賽進行中投進的球

這一支沒有柱子也沒有踢,但底層的分界完全一樣:進行中投進的才算,停錶後的罰球不算。
