Goli ya le nsin’wini yi ni ntikelo wa tinhla timbirhi, handle ka loko yi endliwe endzhaku ka layini ya tinhla tinharhu, kasi yi ni ntikelo wa tinhla tinharhu. Endzhaku ka foul, ku tlanga loku vekiweke nkarhi ku yima naswona mutlangi loyi a fouliweke kumbe loyi a hlawuriweke ku duvula foul ya xithekiniki u nyikiwa ku hoxa kan’we, timbirhi kumbe tinharhu ta phoyinti yin’we ya mahala . Xipano lexi nga na tinhla to tala eku heleni ka ntlangu xa hlula, kambe loko ntlangu wa milawu wu hela wu ri na nhlayo leyi bohiweke, nkarhi wo engetela wa ntlangu ( nkarhi wo engetela ) wa lerisiwile.

Vatlangi va yisa bolo emahlweni hi ku yi tlula-tlula loko va ri karhi va famba kumbe va tsutsuma (va ri karhi va dribble) kumbe hi ku yi hundzisela eka mutirhi-kulobye, leswi haswimbirhi swi lavaka vutshila lebyikulu.

I ku tlula nawu ku tlakusa kumbe ku koka nenge wa munhu wo pivot handle ko dribble bolo, ku yi rhwala, kumbe ku khoma bolo hi mavoko hamambirhi ivi u tlhela u sungula ku dribble .

Vatlangi va ntlhanu eka tlhelo rin'wana na rin'wana va wela eka swiyimo swa ntlhanu swo tlanga . The tallest player is usually the center, the second-tallest and strongest is the power forward, mutlangi wo koma nyana kambe wo hatlisa i lontsongo wa le mahlweni, naswona vatlangi vo koma kumbe lava khomaka bolo kahle i murindzi wo duvula na murindzi wa tiphuinti, loyi tirhisa pulani ya ntlangu wa mudyondzisi hi ku lawula ku hetisisiwa ka mintlangu yo hlasela na yo sirhelela (ku vekiwa ka vatlangi). Hi ndlela leyi nga riki ya xiviri, vatlangi va nga ha tlanga vanharhu eka vanharhu, vambirhi eka vambirhi na un’we eka un’we.
