GBA Championship Basketball - Instructions

CHOOSING PLAYING ABILITIES:

	Once you get to the screen where you are confronted by the 
	following:

	INSIDE       2      OUTSIDE    6
	DRIBBLING    3      STEALING   5
	QUICKNESS    4      JUMPING    4

	you must choose the attributes that you want for the player that
	YOU will control.  Pushing the button will change the attributes 
	of the statistics that you're highlighting... 

	Once you get through this, you either choose your individual
	computer partner or the person with the second joystick controls
	his statistic setting.

	P.S. - The higher the number, the better the ability

PASSING AND SHOOTING:

	Once you get the ball (and you, the lighter colored player, always
	bring the ball up the court) you can either pass the ball or shoot
	it.  To pass the ball to your teamate, quickly press and 
	immediately release the joystick button. However, if you pass 
	the ball, and the other player moves, he will more than likely
	miss it, so don't pass when the other person is still coming up
	the court.

	When you want to shoot, hold down the button and keep it held down
	until the player "cocks" his wrist.  It may take a little time to
	get used to looking for it, but with practice, you can get pretty
	good at it.  Of course, if you don't release the ball before you
	come back down to the floor, you get charged with travelling.

	To make a hook shot, you must be downcourt, near the baseline, with
	your back to the basket.

	To make a slam dunk, you must be under the basket and have at LEAST
	a 4,5, or 6 rating as an inside shooter.

	You can also tip-in the ball by jumping right under the basket.

	P.S. - If a player shoots a basket from outside the white 3-point
	line, then you get three points. Kinda obvious huh?


DEFENSE AND BALLHANDLING:

	To steal the ball, you must "bump" the offensive player on the side 
	which he is dribbling the ball.


CALLING PLAYS WITH THE PLAYCALLING SCREEN:

	In all the game modes except two-player teamates, you must choose
	both an offensive and defensive alignment.  When the playcalling 
	screen comes up, just push the stick in the direction of the play 
	you want.  The screen will go away once the ball is brought past 
	half-court.

	OFFENSIVE PLAYS:

	LFT	Left Wing
	RHT	Right Wing
	TOP 	Top of Key
	BKT	Basket
	SCRN	Screen play

	DEFENSIVE PLAYS:

	LZN	Low Zone
	HZN	High Zone
	MML	Man-to-man Light
	MMD	Man-to-man Dark

	By the way, to call a timeout or pause the game, just press F7.


	OH WELL, HAVE FUN ALL......
