gancho


Explanation:
Parece estar hablando de un golpe o tiro (posible si esta persona juega, por ejemplo, básquet en silla de ruedas). Si es así, la traducción de hook shot es gancho.

tiro "hook"/tiro "gancho"


Explanation:
Hola Norma!
Presiento que se trata de un famoso basquetbolista---¿quien será?

Pues esto es un tiro difícil en el deporte del basquetból--y a ciencia cierta, no sé cómo se dice en español--pero sospecho que se podría llamar "tiro hook" o quizá "tiro gancho". Lo dejo a tu criterio y a continuación, te expongo la definición (copiada y pegada) del término en inglés del diccionario Random House-Webster's:

hookÆ shotÅ, Basketball.
a shot with one hand in which a player extends the shooting arm to the side and brings it back over the head toward the basket while releasing the ball.
[1940–45]

Espero te ayude en algo:-)
Suerte!
