Next, the player throws a bounce pass into a second net. The player then shoots a jump shot from 20-feet then throw a long pass from close to the basket into a third net. Finally, the player needs to dribble between a second set of three obstacles and complete the challenge with a layup. The players are timed and the players with the 2 fastest times move into the finals for a second round through the course.
