Buzzer beater意思

"Buzzer beater" is a term used in sports, particularly basketball, to describe a play or shot that is made just as the game clock buzzer sounds to end the game or a period within the game. The term implies that the shot was made at the very last second, often with no time remaining on the clock, and can result in a dramatic and decisive moment in the game.

In basketball, a buzzer beater can be a game-winning shot, a shot that ties the game to send it into overtime, or a shot that extends a team's lead just before the end of a period. These shots are often celebrated for their high-pressure, high-stakes nature and the skill and composure required to make them in such critical moments.

The term "buzzer beater" can also be used more broadly in sports to describe any play or action that occurs just as the clock runs out, but it is most commonly associated with basketball.
