Shooting effectiveness after offensive rebound and its impact on team success in 3x3 basketball

The purpose of our research was to investigate the shotting effectiveness in 3x3 basketball after an offensive rebound.A total of 16,136 possessions corresponding to 350 games across 18different competitions, were analysed.The variables collected were as follows: (1) shot at the basket after offensive rebound; (2) shooting effectiveness after offensive rebound; (3) shooting zone; (4) scoring zone. Statistical analyses included series of binomial logistic regression analyses.The results of this study show that the middle area of the arc is regularly used by both winning and losing teams in terms of successful attempts and total shots made. Shooting effectiveness increases when shooting after offensive rebound (OR= 1.51; p<0.001)and winning teams exhibited a higher number of total shooting attempts (OR= 1.26; p<0.001). Moreover, winning teams were more effective after offensive rebound compared to losers (OR= 1.27; p= 0.015).For 3x3 teams, offensive rebounding constitutes a crucial component in increasing scoring opportuni-ties. Furthermore, the location of the shot, exerts a noticeable impact on scoring effectiveness.
