**How to Play**

1.  **Draft Your Team:** Start by collecting player cards and forming a balanced lineup. Pay attention to the offensive and defensive stats of each card.

2.  **Strategic Management:** During matches, select which players to use for specific plays. You can choose to play manually for full control or use "Auto Play" to let the AI handle the basics.

3.  **Active Moments:** At critical points in the game, the view switches to 3D. Perform swipes and taps to execute steals, pass the ball, or go for a spectacular slam dunk.

4.  **Decide the Outcome:** At pivotal moments, you must make a split-second tactical choice: do you play it safe with a pass, or go for the high-risk, high-reward 3-pointer?

**How to Win: Strategy and Tips**

* **Conserve Your Top Players:** Don't use your strongest player cards too early in a match. Save their energy and special skills for the final minutes when the tension builds and the "clutch" factor matters most.

* **Balance Your Roster:** Avoid the temptation to only draft high-offense players. A strong defense can force turnovers and provide more opportunities for your scorers to trigger 3D action moments.

* **Master the Timing:** In the 3D segments, timing is everything. Wait for the meter to hit the "Perfect" zone during shots to significantly increase your success rate against tough defenders.

* **Participate in Every Tournament:** Even if you don't win, participating in live global tournaments is the most consistent way to earn the currency and evolution materials needed to upgrade your team.

* **Focus on Card Synergy:** Look for player cards that have bonuses when played together. Combining players from the same "set" or those with complementary skills can give your team a hidden edge.
