Effect of ball screen and one-on-one on the level of opposition and effectiveness of shots in the ACB

In light of the importance of shots on the final result in basketball matches, this research aims to reveal the predictive ability of variables associated with different game actions (ball screen, one-on-one near the basket and one-on-one far away from the basket), shot zone (near to or far from the...
