“…Through the categorization of player interactions in matches, research studies have identified a variety of actions used in the offence to create (1 vs. 1, screens on and off the ball, cuts towards the basket) and protect (defensive help, switch, screen deny) space (Lamas, et al, 2011;Santana, et al, 2015). These techniques have been implemented to analyse and model offensive and defensive interactions in elite teams (Lamas, Santana, Heiner, Ugrinowitsch, & Fellingham, 2015;Lorenzo Calvo, García, & Navandar, 2017;Vaquera, García-Tormo, Gómez Ruano, & Morante, 2016).
