Okay, the comment about salary was just a metaphor to the idea if there is a way which let you win the game, why don't have a hard practice specifically to play this specific way and win all over the time.

For example I found 5 excellent hiters who CAN hit the basket from the base line (the world is big enough to have 5 good hiters among 6 or 7 billion not so good hiters). Today my team plays with the world's dream team, who can't hit the basket as well as my 5 hit stars. The game starts the dream team got the ball approaches to our basket and got 2 points as easily as a piece of cake. While they are retarding back to their basket one of my super hiter hits their basket and got 3 points. The dream teams goes back to our basket with the ball and makes 2 points once again. And again my hiter makes 3 points. So every 2 points for the dream team comes to 3 points for my team. My team will win forever.

As for other net sports, hockey and football, the players of one team can occupy such positions that it becomes impossible to hit the net with a direct strike. So the players of another team must move the ball or puck to find a point from which there is open line to hit the net. But the basketball players can't fly like bees to close the net from far end hitting.
