用法筆記
The noun 'jump shot' is typically used with the verbs 'take', 'make', 'sink', or 'hit'. Avoid using 'do' or 'jump' as the verb — the player takes a jump shot, not *jumps a jump shot. This term refers specifically to the one-handed shot released at the top of a jump, distinguishing it from a set shot (feet on the ground) or a layup.
