See how the rules apply

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.

A mistake to avoid

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
