The Key: The key is the painted section that is located underneath the basket. Players sometimes call this area, "The Paint" or while defending it we sometimes say "Protecting Our Home". While you are on offense, you are only allowed to stand in the key for three seconds before you need to get out of the key. Some officals (or refs) will let this rule go, but only if you are in for no more than four seconds (they will give you a warning). Most of the baskets made in the game of basketball are made inside the key.
The Block: The block is the place where the highest percent of shots are made. It is also the easiest shot you can take in the game of basketball. It located on both the right and left side of the basket inside the key, and gives you a direct angle into the hoop. In order to have the best accuracy from this place, you should use the backboard allowing in the shot to go in the hoop without a problem.
