Scoring efficiency in the Euroleague basketball: Analysis of center`s shooting positions related to the rule changes
(Wurfeffizienz in der Euroleauge im Basketball: Analyse der Wurfposition des Centers in Relation zu Änderungen der Wettkampfbestimmungen)
The purpose of this study was to examine the shooting structure of basketball players at position 5, so-called Centers`. Shooting structure is related to the type of the shot, position of the shot and shooting efficiency. The data were collected from Euroleague Top 8 and Final Four games in two seasons 2008/09 and 2018/19. Thirty-two Centers` from sixteen teams were included in this study (2008/09 - Body height 211±6.17cm, Age 28.38±3.95 yrs.; 2018/19 - Body height 210.69±6.54cm, Age 29.81±3.89 yrs.). Each game was analyzed separately using notational analyses. Confirmative factorial analyses show that Centers` shooting characteristics for 2008/09 season had 7 different components, while 2018/19 season had 6 different components, as a dominant characteristic of scoring, affecting the total scoring efficiency. Results of the study indicate that focusing on mastering the shooting techniques instead of position specialization would increase Centers` scoring efficiency. As an important part of overall playing quality, shooting structure, primarily shooting efficiency provides significant information about the way that Centers` play which is especially affected by the rule changes. Basketball coaches and Centers` should work to improve overall shooting technique.
