Abstract
It is the offence structure, i.e. the sum total of attacks of different duration, character and efficiency, that primarily proves to be decisive in judging the substance, character and result / outcome of the game.
It was important to ascertain the number of attacks, the ratio of fast and positional attacks, as well as the interdependence between the duration and efficiency of the attacks.The research done in the offence structure of the best men’s basketball teams in the world for a number of years (1986 – 1994) has shown that there exists an undaubted interdependence between the duration and efficiency of attacks.
On the basis of this interdependence the following 5 groups of attacks have been singled out:
• attacks with a duration from 2 to 5 sec(efficiency – 69
% or more),
• attacks with a duration from 6 to 9 sec (efficiency – 42
%),
• attacks with a duration from 10 to 15 sec (efficiency – 55 %),
• attacks with a duration from 16 to 20 sec (efficiency – 59 %),
• attacks with a duration from 21 to 30 sec (efficiency – 53 %).
With an increase in the number of very fast attacks the necessity arises to make a distinction between fast (2-5 sec) and hasty (6-9 sec) attacks.
