Draw a basketball court scene showing Harrison's three-point shot trajectory as a parabola. The parabola represents the ball's flight path, with its vertex at the highest point. Mark a point on the parabola to indicate the ball's position at a specific moment. Also, label several key points in the coordinate system, including the release point, the hoop, and other reference points on the parabola. Use parameters to control the parabola's opening and position, and display coordinate axes and grid lines to help understand the mathematical properties of the parabola. The overall graph should clearly show the relationship between the parabola equation and the shot trajectory.
