The Throw, or Everything Started on Saturday (Russian: Бросок, или Всё началось в субботу, romanized: Brosok, ili Vsyo nachanalos v subbotu) is a 1976 Soviet science fiction film directed by Serik Raibayev based on the story by Kir Bulychev The Ability to Throw Ball.
[1][2] Architect Temirbek Sarsenbaev receives from a mysterious professor the gift of accurately throwing objects at a target, from a long distance and almost without aiming.
And although Temirbek has no natural propensity for basketball, except for the ability to accurately throw the ball, his gift transforms the team which begins to count on Sarsenbaev.
The team, led by the new leader, is winning a series of high-profile victories, and Temirbek himself becomes a real star of basketball.
Going to the site and having achieved a break in the game, he asks the coach to replace him with a young player, who was always the backup.
