In basketball, a player can score points in 3 different ways: \(1\) point from the foul line, \(2\) points for shots close to the basket, or \(3\) points for shots far away from the basket. If a player scores \(30\) points in a game, how many different ways can this be achieved?
Details and assumptions
The order of the baskets doesn't matter. For example, if the player scores 9 3-pointers and then 3 1-pointers, this is the same as scoring 3 1-pointers and then 9 3-pointers.
