Abstract
In basketball, there are several ways to finish a play such as direct shooting, dribble shot, post play, and drives when an offensive player receives the ball and tries to take a shot from the defensive moves. The ways to finish a play usually depend on the location of the ball reception as well as the skill level of the players. Purpose: To explore the relation between the location of the ball reception and the offensive moves taken by the players for the fast breaks and the set offense. Methods: Eight games from the 2017 Universiade men's basketball were recorded and analyzed for the relation between the locations of the ball reception and the offensive moves taken by the players using the Chi-squared test of goodness of fit and the Chi-squared test of independence. Results: The direct shooting was the most used offensive moves for the fast breaks (110) and the set offenses (472). For the fast breaks, the direct shooting was the major offensive moves at any locations in the frontcourt where the player received the ball. The dribble shot had the highest shooting percentage of 45%, and was used the most when the player received the ball at the backcourt, including the defensive rebound for the fast breaks. The highest shooting percentage was from the post play (55%) for the set offenses. The main offensive move was direct shooting when the player received the ball at the paint and the low 3-point area, post play at the perimeter, and dribble and drives behind the 3-point line for the set offenses. Conclusions: For both the fast breaks and the set offenses, there was a common relation between the offensive moves and the locations of the ball receptions where dribble and drives were observed the most when the player received the ball behind the 3-point line and the direct shootings were used the most when the ball was received at the paint and around the baseline. When the offensive players received the ball at the perimeter in the set offense, the post play was the main offensive move.
