In basketball, there are two main types of goals that can be scored:
-
Two-Point Field Goals: This is the most common type of basket scored in basketball. A two-point field goal is made when a player shoots the ball from inside the three-point line and it successfully goes through the hoop. This includes shots taken from close range during regular play, such as layups and mid-range shots.
-
Three-Point Field Goals: Although technically a different category, it's worth noting that any shot made from beyond the three-point line counts as three points. However, since you asked about "two goals," this represents a different scoring option.
Additionally, players can score points in basketball through free throws, which are awarded after certain fouls, and each successful free throw counts for one point.
If you meant "goals" in a different context within basketball, please provide more details!
