Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the game type statistics in the competitions played in the regular season of the 2020-2021 Basketball Super League and difference between playoff teams and out of playoff teams. In regular season, 480 matches played between 16 teams were examined by systematic observation and a total of 5760 statistics were recorded in 12 game types as point posession and points won. Independent samples t-tests were used to compare the game-type statistics of the playoff and non-playoff groups. Discriminant function analysis was used to analyse the game type statistics variables that contributed to distinguishing these two groups. The findings indicated that the means of catch and shoot, Isolation and Transition points possessions of the playoff teams were significantly higher than the teams that did not qualify. It was observed in the findings of the differential function analysis that Isolation and Transition game possessions made more contributions to the playoff teams. It has been observed that playoff teams' mean points gained by Isolation and Pick and Roll Roller game types were statistically significantly different than the teams that did not qualify. The discriminant function analysis findings showed that Isolation and Pick and roll handler game type were the variables that contributed the most to team success. These results show that the Turkish Basketball Super League could be seen as a high-tempo, shooting-weighted league in which the outside players prefer shoot using picks and the center players prefer to play when their backs turned.

TÜRKİYE ERKEK BASKETBOL SÜPER LİG TAKIMLARININ 2020-2021 SEZONU BAŞARILARININ OYUN TİPİ İSTATİSTİKLERİNE GÖRE İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2020-2021 Basketbol Süper Ligi normal sezonunda oynanan müsabakalardaki oyun tipi istatistiklerini ve playoff’a kalan 8 takım ile kalamayan 8 takım arasındaki farklı incelemektir. Normal sezonda 16 takım arasında oynanan 480 müsabaka sistematik gözlem yolu ile incelenmiş ve 12 oyun tipinde sayı girişimi ve kazanılan sayı olarak toplamda 5760 istatistik kaydedilmiştir. Playoff’a kalan ve playoff dışı kalan gruba ait oyunla tipi istatistikleri karşılaştırmak için Bağımsız örnekler t testleri kullanılmıştır. Bu iki grubu ayırt etmeye katkıda bulunan oyun tipi istatistikleri değişkenlerini keşfetmek için ayırıcı fonksiyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular playoff’a kalan takımların sayı girişimlerinde catch and shoot, isolation ve transition sayı girişimi ortalamalarının kalamayan takımlardan anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir. Playoff’a kalan takımların en çok sayı girişimi Isolation ve Transition oyun tiplerindenden geldiği ayrıcı fonksiyon analizini bulgularında gözlenmiştir. Playoff’a kalan takımların Isolation ve Pick and Roll Roller oyun tipinden kazandıkları sayı ortalamalarının kalamayan takımlara göre istatiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ayrıcı fonksiyon analizi bulguları isolation ve pick and roll handler oyun tipinin takım başarısına en büyük katkıyı yapan değişkenler olduğu göstermiştir. Bu sonuçlar Türkiye Basketbol Süper Ligi’nin yüksek tempoda, şut ağırlıklı, dış oyuncuların pick and roll oyunuyla ve ayrıca pivot oyuncuların sırtı dönük oyunuyla çembere atış yaptığı bir lig olduğunu göstermektedir.
