How it's used
Refers to a specific penalty opportunity in sports like basketball or soccer. While the term is standard, the specific action it describes depends entirely on the sport being played, such as a free throw in basketball or a free kick in soccer. It is a technical term used by sports fans and players alike.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 罰錢, which refers to paying a fine as a penalty. Using 罰球 in a non-sports context to mean a punishment will sound confusing to native speakers.
