English term or phrase: rim
As I’m thinking these things to myself, I hear the whistle blow. My coach had called a timeout, so I ran to the huddle, feeling discouraged. I was surprised at Coach’s enthusiasm. “Okay, here’s what’s going to happen,” he said. “You’re going to make the first shot.” Okay? That’s the big plan? I wondered, but he continued, “Then, on the second shot, you’re going to miss it.” Yep, he’s crazy, I concluded. He continued, “Throw it off the front of the rim so that the ball bounces right back to you. Get it, head over to the three-point line and take a shot before time expires. I believe you’re going to make that shot, and we’ll win the game.”

Se for o que me parece, um jogo de basquete no caso. Parece se referir ao Aro da cesta de basquete.

Inclusive, essa jogada no qual é mensionada nesse trecho é utilizada em jogos de basquete para tentar evitar empates no fim de partidas. Basicamente o jogador erra o segundo arremeço na tentativa de marcar 2/3 pontos no rebote...

cesta


Explanation:
Eu diria cesta pois fica mais natural, se bem que aro é a definição exata de ‘rim’ que faz parte da cesta.

agree  Eduan Moraes: Bom dia Tereza, "cesta" é a definição geral como um todo, o contexto sugere que seja o aro (o circulo/aro de metal da cesta de basquete). Realmente, perdão pela minha falta de atenção, Teresa. Quando li pelo Android faltei com atenção na leitura.

  -> Sei disso, Eduan, e foi isso que expliquei na minha resposta. Embora aro seja a parte específica da cesta, ainda acho que cesta é uma opção mais natural. Questão de escolha. Às vezes prefiro sacrificar a especificidade pela naturalidade.
