This is ridiculous. Come on, fellow geeks, you can freeze-frame whenever you like!
A running commentary
(from someone who's never even watched sports, and would prefer to be moved to tears by a monograph on relativistic electodynamics).
First thing one sees is a white-team guy receiving the ball (who passed it? no one knows), while the guy in black at the back passes to the front, through the guy in white;
0-1
white-black
Then black and white make passes in rapid succession, to the back;
1-2
White dribbles, while black makes a backhand throw:
1-3
Black makes another pass (to the front), while white dissapears from view for a couple of frames, as the girl dribbles behind the guy from the black team;
1-4
White makes a long pass, while the girl in black turns around really quickly and makes a pass to the front;
2-5
White makes two passes, right to middle to left, in the time it takes for black to make one pass, center to right;
4-6
Black passes to the rear left, while white dribbles through the middle; the balls are NOT switched, as you can clearly see in frame-by-frame analysis;
4-7
Black passes back to the front-right; a guy or girl in a gorilla suit enters from the right, but he/she/it appears harmless, so we choose to ignore their presence for now.
4-8
White makes a rather clumsly bounce-pass; black makes
two passes in rapid succession, note carefully!
5-10
White makes a high pass from left to right, going over the head of the gorilla suit;
6-11
Black passes from the back center to the front right, as white dribbles through;
6-12
The guy in white makes a pass; he is enjoying himself too much.
7-12
The guy in black makes an underhand pass to the rear left that is almost impossible to see; frame-by-frame analysis illuminates this. Meanwhile, the girl in white bounces once and makes a quick pass to the back right. The gorilla suit gestures to the camera.
8-13
Two very quick passes from the corners to the opposite corners.
9-14
The girl in black politely hands the ball to her teammate, who makes a second pass to the back. Meanwhile, white also makes a pass, also to the back. The gorilla suit walking through stage left.
10-15
White bounces once and passes to the front. Black bounce-passes right-to-left. The gorilla suit is offstage.
11-16
White passes to the back. Black passes right. They are nearly synchronized at this point. I think the pace has picked up from the previous eight seconds.
12-17
White dribbles behind the enemy in the left corner. Black makes a pass on the right side.
12-18
Black passes left. White passes right-forwards.
13-19
Black passes right. White dribbles, then bounce-passes. The guy in black throws the ball in the air and catches it.
14-20
Is that supposed to distract us from counting?
, so watched again to count while trying to ignore the gorilla (it's really difficult to do once you know it's there).
