At the final of 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, the Soviet basketball team were to fight with leader of the world basketball – the US team. Never before had the Americans yielded to anyone the Olympic gold. 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. Nobody believed that during this time it is possible to change not only the outcome of the match, but the whole history of basketball.
