Abstract
FERNANDEZ CRESPO, J.A. and PINAR LOPEZ, M.I.. Study of the attack phases in 14-and-under male basketball: differences between winners and losers. CPD [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.3, pp.207-216. ISSN 1989-5879.
The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the attack phase's, and the main differences between winning and losing teams, in boys 14-and-under competition. Observational methodology has been applied through a follow-up, nomothetic and multidimensional design, analyzing a total sample of 3079 phases of attack, belonging to the 8 matches played in the final phase of Minicopa Endesa 2015/2016. The results indicate that the most used type of attack is the positional attack, followed by the counter-attack (more effective in winner team's), lasting around 8 seconds (shorter duration in winner's), with an average of 2,12 ± 1,61 passes and no more tan 3 participants. The places where shot's are made are mostly positions near the hoop. The results obtained indicate a low participation of players (an average of 2,69 ± 1,14 player are involved receiving the ball) as well as a very remarkable lack of efficacy. That seems indicate that the practice conditions are not adecuate to the characteristics of this stage.
