Notes to answerer
Asker: if a shot is from the arc, that is behind it? in otherwords outside the arc.. a long-distance shot...


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Crio: yes, three-pointer

  -> Thank you, Crio! :-)
neutral  Alexander Demyanov: that would be "ot dugi"//What you are describing is all "ot dugi". What about shots closer to the center? Will you call them "from the arc"?//Any of that has anything to do with IZ-ZA dugi?
9 hrs
  -> Alexander, if you watch NBA, they never say "from outside the arc", but "from the top of the arc" or "from the left/right wing of the arc" to refer to 3-pointers.+If shots are closer to the center, "3-pointer from near midcourt"
