Archers vs. Rebels

What a fantastic game it was last week! I attended a student basketball game to support @archersbasket in their game against @essexrebelsbasketball. It was the first time I had ever done sports photography, and I was glad to learn the foundation of this new photography method.
A photograph featuring two basketball players - one from the Essex Rebels and the other from the Cardiff Met Archers - trying to prevent the ball from entering the basket, and the other shooting the ball into it. To the sides of them are three Essex Rebels team members watching in tension as to whether the ball is going to enter the basket. We can also see a referee inspecting the players for any malpractice. The basketball arena's wall is painted royal blue, with a brick wall surrounding a nearby emergency exit door, and a royal blue plaster wall on top of it. The basketball arena's floor is made of polished birch wood, featuring the typical basketball court markings on top. A photograph featuring a Cardiff Met Archers basketball player with the number 6 on her back traversing towards one of the arena’s baskets, with two Essex Rebels players running towards her to stop her in her tracks, along with two Cardiff Met Archers players ready to assist her. We can also see a referee observing the game, checking for any malpractice. A photograph featuring two Essex Rebels players and one Cardiff Met Archers player trying to catch the basketball before it enters the basket. To their sides, there is one Cardiff Met Archers player who has fallen to the floor to their left, and an Essex Rebels player standing by for anything that comes her way. We can also see two other players - one in each of the teams as mentioned earlier - observing their actions in the background, with the Essex Rebels’ coach observing them in the foreground.

We can also see a referee observing the match for malpractice in the foreground, alongside part of another Essex Rebels player jogging towards the players’ direction.
