Three Seconds

The story of the grand victory of the Soviet Union national basketball team at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. In the final, the Soviet athletes had to compete with the leader of world basketball, the US national team. The Americans have never conceded Olympic gold to anyone before. The main time of the match ended with a score of 49:50 in favor of the Americans. The United States team was already celebrating the victory. There were only three seconds left. No one believed that these three seconds could change not only the outcome of the meeting, but also the entire history of basketball.
